00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: What is Up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Podcast. It has made your man MG Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and the

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy viper Grand bar Field, and well, the things we

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: were right on makes us geniuses. The things we were

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: wrong on makes us idiots. So you know, it's week one,

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: man like where stuff happens. Opinions are set now that

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: nothing can ever change. We can't change our minds. It's

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: too late, we can't go. But the the good thing is

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: that we're actually starting to gain knowledge of what teams

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: are going to try to look like. This is the

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: most that's the most exciting time for me, is just

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: like seeing how these teams are actually going to game

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: plan week to week, how they're going to use their players.

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm using these times for is not necessarily

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: to over react, but I know we all loved over

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: That's that's going to be the theme of this show

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: today is over reaction theater. But I think it's fun

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: because I think the first two weeks, because week when

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: we see something and we're like, oh crap is what

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: it is? And then week two things doing the other

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: way and we're like, oh no. And then so by

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I think by about week three, I think it was

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: when we really kind of figure out what teams and

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: what players are going to be. But yeah, we're gonna

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: look back at what happened in week one. Of course,

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: as we record this, there are still two more games

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: to be played here on Monday night. We've got the

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Texans and the Saints. We also have the Broncos and

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Uh, so we will kind of I don't know,

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: we probably won't talk too much about that because by

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: the time you listen to it, it may be over.

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: So but we'll talk about some other things that happened

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Uh, some questions, some waiver wire picks, all

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: that good stuff. But before we do all that, as always,

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 1: will go behind the glass and talk to our faithful producer,

37
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire murf what's up? Well, not

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: a good Sunday for the Giants. I'm sure FABS is

39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: quite happy. And uh, I mean one of those scenarios

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: with one of my league's where my guys are done

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and they have guys going tonight and I'm just like praying,

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: just crossing my fingers that they don't pass pass me

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: in terms of points, so I'm stretching this one out.

44
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I also had Hollywood round on the bench, so it's

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: like not a good Monday morning, bro, But half the

46
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: battle has been one you have. I'm one of the

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: people I'll pass off on the back that I actually

48
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: did like since he was drafted. I bought into Lamar

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Jackson and I bought into the Ravens receivers, so I

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: feel good about that at least. So yeah, I do,

51
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I do have. Isn't it? Isn't it ridiculous? So like,

52
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember a rookie class at wide receiver having

53
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: less value going into a fantasy season. And they all

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: went nuts. Yeah, they all. I mean it was kind

55
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: of j Brown, Mark, He's Brown. K Metcalf had a

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: big game. I mean it was ridiculous. We'll get to

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: it on Brown, but I have con I mean Brown

58
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: only ran like no, yeah, exact worries, yeah exactly. Yeah,

59
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: there are things to be worried about there, but at

60
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: least in terms of production. Yeah, aren't they playing the

61
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals though? Next week? They are playing the Cardinals next

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: so you're playing the Cardinals. There you go which, by

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: the way, just you know, in terms of matchup, the

64
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Lamar versus Kyler matchup, at least potentially, it's a lot

65
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: of fun. We'll see how it works out actually on

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the field, but at least on paper it seems like

67
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of one. So, hey, we

68
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: have plant to talk about, so let's do some news. Well,

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: the first bit of news actually goes back to the

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: weekend before we had any games played on Sunday, and

71
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: unless you've been living under a rock, you know about this.

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown went through maybe the wildest twenty four hours

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: I think I can remember seeing in a while. And

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: this is after he was traded to the Bills for

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: like an hour. Uh, we all went to sleep on Friday,

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: he had posted a weird video with a conversation, a

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: phone conversation between he and John Gruden. It looked like

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: it looked like a Nike or an Apple commercial or

79
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: something like that. It was actually really well done. So

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: whoever he has on staff to create these videos like

81
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: kudos man, because that looked great. Uh, we kind of

82
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: thought that might be the end of it. Then we

83
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: wake up on Saturday morning, especially early on the West coast.

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: It's about six o'clock in the morning on the West coast.

85
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: He has posted on Instagram that he wants to be released.

86
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: By the time I had finished making breakfast, he had

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: been released, and maybe an hour after that he had

88
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: signed with the New England Patriots. So I know that.

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure Twitter has had plenty to talk about.

90
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: We have sort of talked about it amongst ourselves, but

91
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: let's talk about it here. Fabs Antonio Brown with the Patriots. Um, suddenly,

92
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: if you got him in the third round, you got

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: a bargain. You guys know, I don't like him. I

94
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: this this is like one of those scenarios where I

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: didn't like him in Oakland. I didn't think he was

96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna play Monday Night for the Raiders. He wind and

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: cried his way out of Oakland. There was even a

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: report that suggested he hired social media folks too, sort

99
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: of tell him what do I do on my social

100
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: media to get me out of Oakland? Okay? Um? And

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: now he ends up like in and maybe the best

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: spot he could possibly have ended up in him I

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: mean him, I'm not mad about it. I listened as

104
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: as someone who has two shares of them, Like I

105
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: like the fact that he's playing for the Patriots and

106
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I mean, good god, they destroyed the Stealers

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: last night and Philip Door said had two touchdowns and

108
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: now they're going to get Antonio Brown. So from a

109
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, this is great for a b I just

110
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: don't like the way that it makes the NFL look

111
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: because it makes the NFL look weak because elite players

112
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: can wine and bitch and moan their way out of

113
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: situations that they don't want to be in it. That's

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: but this is also just one case, you know, like

115
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: I think, do you remember Tara Loans. I mean, there's

116
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: been a lot of cases. It's called it's called leverage

117
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: though fabs like if Antonio Brown wasn't good at his job,

118
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: nobody would assigned him. It's just yeah, no, I get it.

119
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's just a bad look. So two things.

120
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it rarely happens, and like Marcus said, it's

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: it is leveraged. I mean this the Brown's relationship with

122
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders started following apart, like you months ago. I mean,

123
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: the writing was on the wall here, especially when they

124
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: started finding him in basically threatening his guarantees. Um, yeah,

125
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate that the Patriots, But shouldn't they if

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: he if his conduct is detrimental to the team, And

127
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: there is there is language in the contract that says, hey, man,

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: if you are an idiot, we could take away your

129
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. He signed that contract, right, Uh. I mean so,

130
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean again, not even getting to the fancy point

131
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: of this. I mean I went on a whole big

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: thing on Twitter about the word guarantee. And if it

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: is called a guarantee, then it is a guaranteed. It's

134
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: not a condition to him. Showing up makes it a

135
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: condition anyway, That's not the point. The point is he's

136
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. His fantasy value goes back to where

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: it was when he was a Steeler. It's great, right

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: And now, Graham, you posted on on Twitter about you

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: know who loses value here, right, because you know everybody

140
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: was excited about Josh Gordon. He had a touchdown on

141
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Julian Edelman had a ton of catches on

142
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Sunday night. James White was a big part of the

143
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: game plan on Sunday night. All those guys end up

144
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: eating a little bit less. I would imagine with Antonio Brown.

145
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: I posted a poll last night, is still up has

146
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: eleven hours posted the fourth quarter in that terrible, terrible

147
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Patriots Steelers game, but Josh Gordon currently leads the poll.

148
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I basically said, which New England pass catcher loses the

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: most value between White, Edelman, and Gordon. Right now, it's Gordon.

150
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: I actually think it's White. I think the public is

151
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: completely wrong on this. I think it's completely flipped. I

152
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: actually think James White loses the most value here. Um,

153
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to be like they're gonna be

154
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: a three wide receiver team. And we saw it a

155
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: little bit last night that catch that Josh Gordon had

156
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: in the slot of that touchdown, he had to run

157
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: after the catch he was lined up out of the slot.

158
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: And that that's something that the Patriots are going to

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: be able to do now with these three guys. Like

160
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: people forget that Edelman can line up outside, he lines

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: up and their two wide receiver sets outside, they're just

162
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be so multiple, and they're eleven personnel and

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: three wide receiver sets with a B on the field.

164
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be insanely sick to watch. Um, I

165
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: just I mean for fantasy, I have to think that

166
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: a B is back as a top twelve receiver. Um,

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have the hundred and sixty targets upside

168
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: like he did with the Steelers, but hundred and thirty

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: targets from Brady in a super super efficient offense, he

170
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: can still get to you know, double digit scores in

171
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards and just go beast mode. Yeah. And

172
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: on top of it, now, when you mentioned Tom Brady,

173
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: he goes from being the guy who was a fringe

174
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: QB one to like, you know, he is firmly in

175
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the mix as a quarterback. I get that. You know,

176
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: it's Monday and we haven't looked ahead, but Tom Brady

177
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be my QB one of my rankings.

178
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: He'll be a top this. Yeah, he's gonna be a

179
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: top I mean like the Dolphins. Dolphins, Oh my god.

180
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: It would be really interesting to see if a B

181
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: plays like a full to like a full snapshare in

182
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: week one week two for opening game. I'd have to

183
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: imagine they're going to get him in some space and

184
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: try to make things easy for him. But he's also

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: like one of the five best receivers to ever line

186
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: up in the NFL, and I'm expecting fireworks pretty quick.

187
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: I mean this it's funny. You know, we were, you know,

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: a month ago, sort of looking at this wide receiver

189
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: group and wondering, okay, like how exactly does this work out?

190
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: We know Julian Edelman is gonna be there, Josh Gordon

191
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: in some form or fashion will be there, but what

192
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: happens with the rest of it? To all of a sudden,

193
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: now there's just an embarrassment of riches there in New England.

194
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: Um yeah, well they don't. They don't. It doesn't even

195
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: they're tight end, does not even matter. Now remember, oh

196
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: what do they do without growing? Now it's like whatever, Yeah,

197
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: they they can. They can go out and they can

198
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: go out and play twin They can play twenty personnel.

199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: Last year they played over twenty snaps and twenty personal

200
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: It's three receivers and two running backs in the field.

201
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Um yeah, they can just do it. There's it's just

202
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: isn't this is perfect for what the Patriots want to do,

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: isn't it isn't it just Insaye? How things changed so

204
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: quickly Like earlier in the preseason, and even in the

205
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: off season we were talking about the Patriots could be

206
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: transitioning more to a team that's gonna run the football more.

207
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna have Sonny Michelle, they drafted uh Damien Harris,

208
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: and now hell, they're gonna air the heck out of

209
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: that football we are in a week out. Now they

210
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: got Antonio Brown with Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman, I

211
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: would argue, and I don't know that there's an argument

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: against it. This is the best trio of wide receivers

213
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: any team has in the National Football Yeah, suddenly, it's

214
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: suddenly I think there are you know, it's it's funny too,

215
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: because you know, they made the comment on the broadcast

216
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: last night, like you know, they still have the Marrius

217
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Thomas who's trying to get healthy. I mean, I know

218
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: that he's not the same player he once was, but

219
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he was a pretty good receiver

220
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: man when he said his peaks. So, uh, yeah, it's

221
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: funny too. I was thinking about this, like I think

222
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: it was about this time a year ago we were

223
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: doing this podcast. We were in the studio when the

224
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: news came that the Patriots had gotten Josh Gordon and

225
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: I went on like a little mini spontaneous rant where

226
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: I think I threw a pin across the rumor where

227
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: we never do that? Do you always? You love? This

228
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: spont did quite well on social media. On social media,

229
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: And it's funny like when when the Patriots got Antonio Brown,

230
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: Like I was just like, I think just because I'm

231
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: just resigned to it now, I'm like, yeah, we're sure fine,

232
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: but they kind of sold their soul to the devil.

233
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Like I didn't think that they would do it, just

234
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: but I underestimate. That's so funny that you had the

235
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: same reaction. Because I was going down to the beach.

236
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: It was like two o'clock here, right, I was just

237
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: like whatever, Like this was souper. I mean, he was cut.

238
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: It's just like he's gonna go to a team that's

239
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna contend. It might be the Patriots. We all joked

240
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: about it and let's I mean, let's let's be real

241
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: about this, right. The worst thing Antonio Brown really did

242
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: like he misspractice. He yelled at as general manager, he

243
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: had Plenty of guys have had weird injuries, plenty of

244
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: guys have had equipment issues, plenty of guys have fought

245
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: with look Latrell Spree well choked a coach right like

246
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: the worst and so because wait a minute, Wait a minute,

247
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute, he posted he posted a letter said

248
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: by his GM that that finds him players don't do that.

249
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: He also posted a private conversation with his head coach

250
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: on social media, who said that afterwards, he said that

251
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: was because John Burden looks weak and this whole thing.

252
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: He looks weak in this whole thing because he wants

253
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: to win and apparently he doesn't care that. Antonio Brown, uh,

254
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: basically you know, berated the GM. Mike Mayock. If I'm

255
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, I ain't real happy right now. Right so,

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: because we have somehow begun to conflate NFL football military service,

257
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: somehow distructed unit cohesion is the worst possible thing they

258
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: could do. I wrote it. I got a letter from

259
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: the d m V the other day. I opened it,

260
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: read it. It said they were suckers. Like whatever, man,

261
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, Like, let's let's get over

262
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: this is not some solder soul to the devil. They

263
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: signed a really talented football player, ever doesn't work out.

264
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: They kicked him to the curb and we move on

265
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: we want our lives. One final point, this this is

266
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: Gruden's fault, right, like like a B a b okay,

267
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: a B has has been let's just say traumatic off

268
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: the field for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Raiders, right,

269
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: But like Marcus said, he's not like he's done anything

270
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: out of like criminal. I mean, he's just been obnoxious.

271
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: He's been obnoxious. Isn't it criminal in some states to

272
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: post a private conversation on shore wants to post like

273
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is grasping at straws right now. It's

274
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: really grasping at straws man Like, he's a football player

275
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: who did some goofy things. If some team wants to

276
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: sign and put him on the field, then fine. He's

277
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: he's a whinny. He's a whiney three year old who

278
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: cried and cell he got the toy that he wanted

279
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: and that's what it was because he had the leverage

280
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: to do. This is the same anton This is the

281
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: same Antonio Brown who who dyed his hair and had

282
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: a blonde mustache for quite some time at some point

283
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: during this The lesson kids, be really good at your

284
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: job and you can do a lot more things than

285
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: the people who aren't good at their jobs. Let's there's

286
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: there's no moral compunction about it, all right, football news,

287
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Nick Fole suffered a broken clavical He's having surgery today.

288
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: The Jaguars can't have nice things. But Gardner Minshew looked

289
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: already on Sunday. He looked all right on Sunday. So yeah,

290
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm not picking him up. But now the actually the

291
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: question becomes how much how much do we were lock?

292
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: Because D. D. Westbrook was was becoming a very hot

293
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: name near the end of fantasy draft season. Right, it

294
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: was not D D. Westbrook. It was DJ Chark who

295
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: ended up having the big day. Chris Connley actually had

296
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: a pretty big day to uh in that football game.

297
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook not so much? Are we panicking or

298
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: is this just a chance we we just need Minshew

299
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: to work with Ded Westbrook a little bit more. First, Yeah,

300
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm panicking a little bit. I don't know anything about him. Right,

301
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: we were buying folds. We're buying folds for for twos

302
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: snappy mustache. Yeah, we're buying folds for two reasons, right,

303
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: For the first being, he's an improvement over Blake portals.

304
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: That's obvious. A number two. Nick Foles targeted his slot

305
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: receivers more than any quarterback in the NFL last year.

306
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: You take him off the field, putting Gardner Minshew's just

307
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: a rookie. I'm I'm definitely panicking on this Jack's receiver corps.

308
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: But you know him not panicking on He's a Leonard

309
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: for Neat. He is going to get all the touches

310
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: he handled, like, I mean, it's like snap right yesterday

311
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: all I mean, he's just gonna get ambered all the

312
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: touch and unfortunately now it's just going to be in

313
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: a significantly significantly lower ceiling offense. Um. But yeah, this

314
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: receiver corps and the Jaguars had to the wide receivers

315
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: that had the biggest games, and nobody started Like if

316
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: you look at the wide receiver position yesterday, I mean, dude,

317
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: nobody had DJ Shark. I mean, this is this is

318
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: not exactly the who's who a Fantasy football wide receivers.

319
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: And I believe Marcus, We're going to get into that

320
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: at some point later in the show. But both of

321
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: those guys, between Chark and Connolly, who do you pick up?

322
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: Do you pick up either one of them? I think

323
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: I early in draft season, I drafted Conley Chris Connelly,

324
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: and it was just one of those like end of

325
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: end of draft, like, hey man, I don't know, let's

326
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: let's let's just throw a dark here. I certainly didn't

327
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: start him, um, but yeah, I think that's gonna be

328
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: one to figure. But it's funny. It's because like this

329
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: time last year, right, I remember reading all these Jaguars

330
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: beat Riders, and all of them had one receiver that

331
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: was going to blow up. They just all had different ones. Right,

332
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: So now we're sort of back in the same spot, right,

333
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: there's going to be a receiver in this offense who

334
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: steps up in plays. Well, we just gotta figure out

335
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: which one. Overnight. Chark was the twenty one most added

336
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: player on NFL dot Com. Yeah, I mean the Jacks.

337
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: The Jacks have a pretty sweet schedule, but I just

338
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: I just don't have much confidence in this passing. At

339
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: some point, we're going to talk about Minshew as being

340
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: like a nice DFS play and it might be soon. Yeah,

341
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: it might be soon. I mean when when you have

342
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: a completion percentage like that coming out on again that

343
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: he's a rookie and uh, you know they were throwing

344
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: the ball at ton, but he was completing a ton

345
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: of passes. Yeah, outside of their one game, they have

346
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: a game in Denver and week four, but the rest

347
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: of that up until their buys, Like, it's pretty sweet,

348
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's just such a downgrade

349
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: and so discipline. It's disappointing for the Jaguars. And and

350
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: and next week he got you know, Dd Westbrook, I mean,

351
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: is he Is he a playable asset? I don't think so.

352
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: Right the matchup if I remember correctly, and I haven't

353
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: looked ahead with no team on by they get the

354
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Texans next week, no teams on a buy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

355
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: outside of it's gonna be four net and maybe maybe

356
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Minshew get some some rapport really quickly with with Westbrooker Charc.

357
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: But other than that, I just got to see how

358
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: that Houston Texans defense placed. Yeah, that's gonna be one

359
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: to watch tonight. Uh. In Kansas City, Tyreek Hill left

360
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: with a a shoulder injury. James Palmer had a tweet

361
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of breaking down what it was. Um, but I

362
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: don't have a medical degree, so I can't. Yeah, that

363
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: thing was kind of hard to the end result, basically

364
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: he won't have to have jury, but he is going

365
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: to miss a few weeks. Sammy Watkins was having a

366
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: blow up game anyway, and then it only got bigger

367
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: and better once Tyreek Hill went out of the football game.

368
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: But uh, fabbs, I think this means if you are

369
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: poking around on the waiver wire, suddenly meet Cole Hardman

370
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: becomes a name that at least it at least has

371
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: some interest for you in the next couple of weeks. Yeah,

372
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, no question about that. And there was actually

373
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: a quote and I'm trying to find it because it

374
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: came through an email where Watkins was quoted as saying

375
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: that they are going to be without Hill for like

376
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: it was like six to seven weeks or something like.

377
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it wasn't good. Um.

378
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Watkins maybe just is speaking

379
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: out of school and doesn't really know, but the the

380
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: injury that that Hill had suffered didn't seem like it

381
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: was all that quickly to return from, right. I don't

382
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs even know how long Tyree Kill is

383
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna be out right now. We we kind of don't

384
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of information right now totally about what

385
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: this injury completely is Um doesn't sound like he broke

386
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: his collar bone at all all, But there's there's something

387
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: going on here. He's gonna miss multiple games. Um. You

388
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: mentioned Nicole Hardman Marcus. He played on nearly eighty percent

389
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: of Chief snaps yesterday. UM. Definitely going to be someone

390
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: that you need to have on your rosters. But Sammy Watkins, man,

391
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: as long as Tyreek Hill is out, he's got to

392
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: be a top fifteen receiver play every week. You just

393
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean at the top. I mean I went, I

394
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: was shocked when I found this last when I was

395
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: going through research for this season, right I was writing

396
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the team previews, and Sammy Watkins actually out targeted Tyreek

397
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Hill in the games that he played, like the full

398
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: games that he played, played like eight full games last year.

399
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Watkins actually saw more targets than Hill. Um. And he

400
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: was awesome yesterday. He reached the fastest speed that he's

401
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: he that he's reached in years per Next Gen Stats.

402
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: And I mean he was he had his his juice back,

403
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: and now that he's fully healthy, he's at an offseason

404
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: fully preparing this offset offense man, Sammy Watkins, we might

405
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: we might finally get a full fulla a long time

406
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: full view of Watkins talent here in this in this

407
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: fantastic speaking of wide receivers, A little bit off the

408
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: rails here, but Ian Rapp Report is reporting that oh

409
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: b J played the game yesterday Watch three is it

410
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Richard mill M I L L E. And that he

411
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: violated a league rule prohibiting wearing a hard object like

412
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: I wear like a watch. I got it ross, So like,

413
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay, that is awesome. That's that's that's when you

414
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: know you're bawling on another level, like yeah, like that's

415
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: life goals, life goals. I'll suit up with it. That

416
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: is that is really awesome. So all right, there you go.

417
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: That's pretty much everything you need to know. Alright, so

418
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: let's praise the curtain on overreaction theater. Now that Week

419
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: one is mostly in the books minus as I mentioned,

420
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: those two games that are going to be played on

421
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: Monday night. H A handful of topics here. Uh, get

422
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: your you guys thoughts on and uh, you know, tell

423
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: me if I'm overreacting, which you know I probably am,

424
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: but that's fine. Uh. Lamar Jackson is the QB one

425
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: over everybody, and we have to cut Baker Mayfield. That's it.

426
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's how we feel now. Lamar Jackson

427
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: three and four passing yards, five touchdowns, thirty three and

428
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: a half fantasy points with only six rushing yards. Roman

429
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: didn't even have to right section of the Ravens play.

430
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: But I gotta see that might be like the best

431
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: passing performance in fantasy that any quarterback Greg Roman has had,

432
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: probably has ever posted. Honestly, that's one of the best

433
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: passing performances in a single game that we've ever seen.

434
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: But we're only through the ball like twenty times yesterday

435
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: and over three right. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield five passing yards

436
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: to touchdown, three interceptions including eight pick six. Uh, did

437
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: not reach nine and a half fantasy points. The Browns,

438
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: after all the offseason hype got kicked in the teeth

439
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday, So that means it's all over for them.

440
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: They might as well pack it up. Lamar Jackson, as

441
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: God and everybody who thought otherwise. Can you got Gardner

442
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Minshew almost doubled up Baker Mayfield almost. I watched a

443
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: good bit of that Brown's Titans game es straight, and

444
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: the Brown's offensive line is going to be a problem

445
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: all season long. You know it's funny too, because I

446
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: think it was on Thursday's NFL Fantasy Live show where

447
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: we were talking about players to be worried about. Cynthia

448
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Freeland said she was worried about Nick Chubb and one

449
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: of the things she cited was the offensive line. Not

450
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: Chubb kind of okay games with seventy five rushing yards

451
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: I think he had with ten or fifteen receiving yards

452
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: something like that. But you know, I mean, I do

453
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: think to her point, watching that game, there is something

454
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: to be said for that offensive line and maybe how

455
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: it could potentially submarine what this offense wants to do.

456
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: But I mean, the Browns just they laid an egg yesterday.

457
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Things are going to get better because they can't get worse.

458
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: There's too much talent on that offense for them to

459
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: do this all season long. Um I was texting with

460
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: them is because he's a die hard Browns fan, and

461
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: uh he didn't respond very very quickly. Uh. Same with

462
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: Todd mossb our Our, our esteemed producer on NFL Fantasy Live.

463
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: So Brown's fans are definitely down in the dumps. Um,

464
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Colin Calhart, I'm sure is going to have a blast

465
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: with this whole Brown's explosion and Baker Mayfield looking bad.

466
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: But things are going to get better. And as Marcus said,

467
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: you know this is not the time to overreact on

468
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: a scenario like this. Nick Chubb is gonna get better,

469
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfields gonna get better because they have to, because

470
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: that was an absolute disaster. Yet I couldn't it really

471
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: couldn't have got much worse. They had a million penalties,

472
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: They had a guy get ejected for kicking an opponent

473
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: in the face. Um, yeah, yeah it it. It looked

474
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: like the old factory of sadness was back out and

475
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: pumping out widgets again the last on Sunday. So hopefully

476
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: things do turn around. Uh Sammy Watkins into Sean Jackson

477
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: or wide receiver ones. I mean we talked about Watkins

478
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: day nine catches a buck ninety eight and three touchdowns

479
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson eight catches a hundred and fifty four

480
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I guess the biggest thing with

481
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: d Jacks is that he has a quarterback that can

482
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: hit him on deep throws, which he didn't have in Tampa.

483
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I kept saying we should put Jameis Winston

484
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: in the CIA because he could overthrow dictators around the world.

485
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: But I know that's an exaggeration, but it's nice to

486
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: suddenly have these two speedy guys back in our fantasy

487
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: football lives again. Yeah. Yeah, And Carson went to reap

488
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: the rewards of that with a with a strong game.

489
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: It's funny because I was talking to one of our researchers,

490
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: uh late last week, and I said, can you pull

491
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: up the stats on de Sean Jackson when he faces

492
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: a team that he used to play for and that

493
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: that revenge metric? Yes, And and I was like, it

494
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: wasn't like as like enormous as I thought it might be.

495
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: But I was thinking, in the back of my mind,

496
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: if I had to Sean Jackson this week, I'm probably

497
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna play him as a flex because there's just that

498
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: there's just that inkling of I want to beat the

499
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: team that that you know I was on and and

500
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: show them, hey man, this this is this is what

501
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm all about. And boy did he go off if

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: on the Reds if anything, And we've kind of mentioned

503
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: this a bunch in the off season. This just helps

504
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz even more. I mean, it just helps his

505
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: ceiling even more having we've now seen de shan Acson

506
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: go to so many different teams and immediately help the

507
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and he can play with in terms of efficiency.

508
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Kirk Cousins was a better quarterback with Sean

509
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Jackson on the field. Um, even though Jameis Winston couldn't

510
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: hit him, and Ryan Fitzpatrick were both better quarterbacks to

511
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: Jackson the field last year. Same thing goes for Wins.

512
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean this this is the lid lifter that they've

513
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: needed for so long. Yeah, it really it really was. Um,

514
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, they spread the ball around two in Philadelphia,

515
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: which is is sort of what we expected. Um. I'm

516
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Tony man zach Ertz that that that record breaking reception

517
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: total and target total last yet it's coming back that's

518
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: going to regress that numbers coming down. He's gonna have

519
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: some monster, monster games, but Jeffrey and Jackson are gonna

520
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: get some They're gonna get a ton of looks. Absolutely. Um.

521
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of wide receivers, uh, maybe we should never draft

522
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers early. At least as of last night during

523
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: the Sunday Night Game, thirteam of the top twenty wide

524
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: receivers from week one, we're drafted in round nine or later.

525
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: We had the two rookies, Marquis Brown and Terry McLaurin,

526
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: who stepped up and played really well in Week one,

527
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, so you know, forget it. The wide

528
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: receiver doesn't matter. We can wait until the seventh thirty

529
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: round and will find a guy and it's like quarterback,

530
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: that's all. I was. What I was mentioning to earlier

531
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: on was like, if you look at the top scoring

532
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: wide receivers for a week one, it is a list

533
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: that includes John Ross, Marquis Brown, Philip dor Set, John Brown,

534
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: d J Chark, Jamison Crowder, Terry McLaurin. I'm not done yet,

535
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Danny, Ammon freaking Dola, Chris Connolly. All Right, it

536
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: was the Who's who? Who the hell is that? It's

537
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: more than it's more than who's that I will I

538
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: will say a bunch of the top guys had tough

539
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: matchups this past week. I mean, Julio is obviously playing

540
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings, Davanta Adams had a tough draw bj against

541
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: the Titans. Um actually thought Beckham would do way more

542
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: in that game because but the Brown's offensive and just

543
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: kind of fell apart and Baker was not very good.

544
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: But you know, um a bunch of tough draws, Tyry

545
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: Kill got hurt, Adam Feeling only the Vikings only through

546
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: the ball ten times. Just bang up. But a weird

547
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: week for top or wide receiver. You know, one of

548
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: the top wide receivers who came through for everybody? How

549
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys? Oh sorry, Eddie Amari Cooper man, he

550
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: looks good. This guy's he he is fixing to get paid.

551
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: Doc is fixing to get paid. And the Cowboys are

552
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: going to be uh let's just say, uh fantasy plentiful.

553
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: They are. And they also they were also a team

554
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: and not to dismiss what they did on Sunday, they

555
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: were a team that everybody looked at that first four

556
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: weeks of the schedule and they're like, this is the

557
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: chance for these guys right now. And hell Randall cop

558
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: Randall Cobbs showed out. My Michael Gallup had a huge day. Um, yeah, no,

559
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: they definitely did. And I look, I am I am

560
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: kidding about this. Never draft wide receivers early. Because even

561
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: even in a a bad day for the Falcons, who

562
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: Julio Jones still had a pretty good day you know,

563
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen had a big day. T Y Hilton had

564
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: a really big day. So those guys are there and

565
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: we know that the other guys are going to produce.

566
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: But I think it does speak to the depth at

567
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position that you have some of these

568
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: other guys that you can draft in later rounds and

569
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: and you know they will go out and have big days.

570
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I say that I brought back my my

571
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: Monday moaning more more Monday Morning tweet storm, and so

572
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: many of the complaints were about guys sitting wide receivers

573
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: sitting on benches. This is just one of those weird weeks.

574
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: It's week one Man Top Top into we'll get hopefully

575
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: we'll get right tonight with new Copkins having a big

576
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: game with nuke Ju, kind of got locked down a

577
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: little bit being it okay though kind of garbage time.

578
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah it was okay, Vance McDonald's, Yeah that was that

579
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: was one. But guys that I say it every single year,

580
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: I'll say it every year while I'm doing this. The

581
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: only thing that's predictable about the NFL is that it's unpredictable.

582
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: And so don't knock yourself because you ended up starting

583
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston over Kyler Murray like I did. Don't knock

584
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: yourself because Marky's Brown is on the waiver wire in

585
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: your league. Guys, things happen. We're all learning and and

586
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to learn. I think it's gonna

587
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: probably take a good three or four weeks before we

588
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: have a really good grasp at what teams are doing,

589
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: what defenses are bad against, what positions, and who has

590
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: earned bigger roles in their respective offenses. Almost like fantasy

591
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: football incorporates a little bit of luck, a little bit

592
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: listening for black helicopter. Sorry I got bla. I just

593
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know if the black helicopters gonna listen. Predicting

594
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: future not easy as hard. That's why I had more

595
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: stuff wrong than he got right. That's why I don't

596
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: dump on weather people. It's hard. I'm not in southern California.

597
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: That's you're here today. It's it could be warm and

598
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: the son is going to be out. Uh last of

599
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: a reaction. T J. Hockenson is a new George Kittle.

600
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: Six catches, a hundred and thirty one yards and a

601
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: touchdown um on a team that was supposed to be

602
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: establishing the run. T J. Hockenson went berserk and I

603
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: was one night. I totally was wrong on I didn't

604
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: to there'd be enough targets going around sparacly not for Hockinson,

605
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: but he bawled out on Sunday. A couple of things.

606
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: The Cardinals played really really fast in this game. They

607
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: were like really juiced up the pace. Their number one

608
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: in terms of snaps and seconds in between snaps. So

609
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: the Lin's got a ton of extra plays here. But

610
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: t J. Hockinson was top five in routes run among

611
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: tight ends. Um, I mean he's immediate. If he's immediately

612
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: going to be a full time player, there's obviously gonna

613
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: be weeks where the lines are not this voluminous in

614
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: terms of their their past voluminous. I was waiting for

615
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: you to throughout one of those words. Um, but yeah,

616
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean this is he's immediately a full time player.

617
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: Fantastic to see and and Marcus, this kind of speaks

618
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: to something we've all been talking about this this past offseason.

619
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: It's just tight end is going to be so much

620
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: better this year and maybe if we can get Hockinson

621
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: in the phrase like a top twenty plays as a streamer.

622
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna ben better. I mean, I know we talked

623
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: about the potential. I mean this is way back in

624
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: February March. We talked about the potential of one of

625
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: those rookie tight ends maybe having a role, whether it's

626
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: Hockinson or fans, and we'll get a chance possibly to

627
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: see fans early in the season. Um yeah, but this

628
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: I did not expect so much. So soon it was yeah,

629
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody did. And Hockinson is readily available

630
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, so go out and get him. Yeah,

631
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: he won't be after this. Kenny Gallady had a nice day.

632
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: He got the touchdown, so it wasn't as big as

633
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: we thought. But we all said start Galladay and even

634
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, and it ended up being Danny freaking Amadola

635
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: who ended up being a hero out of the slot

636
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: and nobody played him. Um we we talked about Titan

637
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: and Hockinson. How about my boy Evan Ingram? So is

638
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: that went according to so? When Yeah, I love it

639
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: man fourteen targets. So when he caught that first touchdown,

640
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: his his agent like texted me and was like, that's

641
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: for you, fabs, And I says, Listen, I hope Evan

642
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: has a huge game. I have him in fantasy leagues.

643
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: You're not going to win the game, but I hope

644
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Evan has a big game. And Evan now he actually

645
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: did really well. And his agent was texting me and

646
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: he's like, Dude, this whole fantasy football thing is kind

647
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: of fun. I'm like, you'll never not play again. Yep. Yeah.

648
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, he's got a ball out because

649
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: he drafted himself in the second round. Man, he's gotta

650
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: make it worth um real quick before we move on

651
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: to I have questions. That's our our next thing, right,

652
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: but before I get onto that. A tweet from Ian

653
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: Rappaport just a few minutes ago. Forty nine was running

654
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: back Tevin Coleman suffered and inkle sprain and yesterday's win

655
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: over the box, according to a source, and injury that

656
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: is expected to force him to miss time. He's having

657
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: tests today in Youngstown, Ohio, where the team is staying,

658
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: to determine the nature of the sprain. We saw a

659
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: lot of rock he Mos start in that game on

660
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Buccaneers, oh and shocking Matt Brida left

661
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: with supposed injury but came back and playing the song

662
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: is going to be I rosterable now because Breed has

663
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: made a glass. Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see

664
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Their fourth string running back, made the

665
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: team but was inactive yesterday. They'll probably hill activate him.

666
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just immediately spend all my fab on

667
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: mos dirt. I think, oh no, no, no, you don't

668
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: do that. But he's worth He's worth a look. Brita

669
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: is now, Breed is now in a cake. This was

670
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: always this was always possibility though Brida either taking over

671
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: that job or you know, he needs one injury to

672
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: have topped top four, top thirty value. We've got to

673
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: We've gotta start calling Breed a wolverine man because like,

674
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: he gets hurt, but it doesn't really stick. He comes

675
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: back and he's fine again. Um, but yeah, Keevin Coleman,

676
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: who you know, I invested. I have a lot of

677
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman on. I have a couple of years at

678
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: him too. I have Breed of though as well. So

679
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: not a great start for Coleman started. Um away from

680
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: the overreaction theater, I have questions things that you know

681
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: I saw or at least you know read about That

682
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: makes me little bit like I I'm not panicked yet,

683
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: but I am concerned. So the first one, what now

684
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley, Right, Like, the numbers were fine at

685
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: the ninety seven rushing yards um, and he looked good

686
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: in the second half. He good in the second half.

687
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: He was the guy that they went to to try

688
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: to close out the game. But he only had fifteen

689
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: touches total. You know, everybody talks about his snap share,

690
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: that he was on the field with se the snap

691
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Brown was on but he didn't get targeted

692
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot in the passing game, and he got no

693
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: touches in the red zone. I think Malcolm Brown actually

694
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: had more red zone snaps than Gurley did. The efficiency

695
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: is great, FABS, but man, it's a lot to ask

696
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: for if if the number of touches actually is going

697
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: to be decreased this year. Here's here's what I'm hoping

698
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: was the scenario yesterday. The Rams were simply allowing Todd

699
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: Gurley to get his quote unquote sea legs back. Okay,

700
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played football in a long time. He

701
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: didn't do anything in the preseason. I'm hoping that's the case.

702
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: We all came into the season expecting Todd Gurley to

703
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: not see as many touches. The issue here and the

704
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: surprise for me was that Todd Gurley, when you get

705
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: that Rams offense inside the ten yard line, that's where

706
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: he makes his you know, that's where he makes his

707
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: his money. And they gave the ball to Malcolm Brown. So,

708
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, what I saw yesterday

709
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I kind of expected. I didn't expect him to lose

710
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: those opportunities inside the ten yard line to Malcolm Brown.

711
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: And while I don't know that that's going to be

712
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: the scenario moving forward, if Brown is digging into his

713
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: opportunities near the goal line, then Todd Gurley is not

714
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: going to be worth the second round pick that a

715
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 1: lot of us took him at this This is this

716
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: was always the concern though, is like the Rams want

717
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: to keep Gurly fresh, They want to keep that knee

718
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: as healthy as possible throughout the season. The Rams are

719
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contending team. There's no reason for them

720
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: to not rotate their backs when they have two guys

721
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: behind them, especially Malcolm Brown, who they love. Um, there's

722
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: no reason for them not to rotate their backs. I

723
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: think this will be more of a thing. I don't

724
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: necessarily think Sean McVeigh was going into it saying we're

725
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: going to take Gurly off the field every time we

726
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: get inside the tent. That might might have just been

727
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: the way that those particular drives flowed, UM and they

728
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to rotate their backs at that point in

729
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: the game. But this just kind of speaks to what

730
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: we were sort of expecting, is like this might be

731
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: a week to week proposition where Girly's floor is no

732
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: longer twenty touches. His floor now might be twelve to fifteen. Yeah,

733
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: And I guess the biggest thing is we have to

734
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: think about Todd Gurley now, right like before he really

735
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: was that he was a sit and forget it kind

736
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: of guy. Ever thought him in your lineup and you

737
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about it, But now we really

738
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: do have to. One of the final weird things of

739
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: this game is like Todd, I went back and look,

740
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus has Todd Gurley running. He ran thirty

741
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: routes out of the past plays the rams rams rams

742
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: A thirty past routes out of the forty fourth past

743
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: place UM Malcolm Bronoly ran six routes. So even though

744
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: Girly didn't see any targets, he was on the field

745
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: constantly for those passing snaps. And I gotta think in

746
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: a few more games if he continues to play many

747
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: past get a few more target A quick update from

748
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport. It looks like Nick Foles of surgery as

749
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: this morning and he'll be placed on injured reserve man Jacks.

750
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: So I I would I would think it would be

751
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: I R designated to return. Feel bad for the Jacks fans, man,

752
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: I are boomerang as our friends that around the NFL

753
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: referred to it. Uh yeah, Like it's funny too because

754
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: they went and they paid up for Nick Foles, you know,

755
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: with the argument being this is the cost of doing

756
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: business to get a top level quarterback in there. And

757
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't make it through two quarters without without getting

758
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: getting hurt. In fact, that was the first quarter, wasn't

759
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: I think his first quarters? First quarter, first couple of drives. Yeah,

760
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: that that sucks. Um. In Detroit we mentioned t J.

761
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: Hockenson having the big day. Um. I feel like I

762
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: was lied to about Kirie on Johnson. Um that the

763
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia and the Lions wanted to establish the run,

764
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: and that didn't really happen, especially against a team that

765
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: had the worst run defense in the league last year.

766
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: The Lions looked like the old Lions, with Matt Stafford

767
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: running all over the place and slinging the ball effect

768
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: for a while, I think Matt Stafford had more rushing

769
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: yards than than Kyler Murray. Um. I'm not panicking about

770
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson yet, FABS, but that was not the

771
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: way I wanted things to start. I'll tell you that. Well,

772
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: you know, and I was on the carry On bandwagon too,

773
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not jumping off at this point, but you know,

774
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: I did mention that c J. Anderson was going to

775
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: be involved in this offense. I know, I know c J.

776
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: And I know he's going to be involved. He had

777
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: eleven carries in this game. Okay, he only had five,

778
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: fewer than carry On Johnson. Uh, carry On is going

779
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: to have his share of games. And I do feel

780
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: like because you know, they knew the Cardinals defensive back

781
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: backfield was a mess, so they were going to target

782
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: those dbs and they did, and they had success with

783
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: Amondola and Hockinson and Galaday had uh you know, a

784
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: decent day as well, got into the end zone. So

785
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: I almost feel like the Lions game plan to throw

786
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: the football. I mean Stafford through time just laughing fabs

787
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: because the lines, the lines had a perfect spot for

788
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: this game, right, Like Cardinals are without their top two quarterbacks.

789
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: Stafford throws for three five yards and three scores and

790
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: they still tie. I mean like this is a perfect

791
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: game for them to come out and Stafford played extremely well.

792
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: They could have ran the ball even more if they

793
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: wanted to, especially because the game script and they still

794
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: and most people out there in fantasy in traditional leagues,

795
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: like you're not starting Matthew Stafford, even with the great

796
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: matchup starting he was, he was are played. But even

797
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: then he was down the list of streamer. I think

798
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: it was like twenty two at quarterback for me last week.

799
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because it wasn't a great matchup. It's

800
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: because like there's just so many good quarterbacks now. But um,

801
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: Stafford I'm sure is going to be picked up in

802
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: some leagues because he is uh, he is relatively unowned

803
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: h off of his disappointing two thousand and eighteen season,

804
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't expect this kind of performance every week though, No,

805
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: definitely not gonna expect this everything a week Uh one

806
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 1: I didn't have on my list, but I just thought

807
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: about this as we're sitting here. Um. So we went

808
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: into Sunday hoping that we would learn a little bit

809
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: more about Jamis Winston and Jimmy Garoppolo, and I feel

810
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: like we well left Week one still not knowing much

811
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: about Jamis Winston, or or maybe we do know about

812
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. Maybe maybe he just he's just always going

813
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: to be this volatile character, and maybe that's the same

814
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo. Maybe they're just always going to be

815
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: these two volatile quarterbacks that you just can never fully

816
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: pin down. Week I don't think Garoppolo is yet. I

817
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: still think that the jury is still out on that.

818
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: In the small sample size has been really good on him.

819
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm man, Jamis Is He's it's really really hard to

820
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: carry water for first and I'll take the bullet here.

821
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if you told people that you like

822
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: Jamis this week, I did. I apologize for that. Um,

823
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: trust me. I started him over Kyler Murray in one

824
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: of my leagues, and I'm kicking myself for it because

825
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: the matchup was there. And honestly, dude, Jamis Winston is

826
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: going to have some huge games this season. He's going to,

827
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: but he's also gonna have these games where he's absolutely

828
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: and I can't swear, but awful. Okay, dog crap awful. Yes, Yes,

829
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: that's the yes, and that's what you do with with

830
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson. But there's gonna be games this season, guys

831
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: where he has you know, points, and you're gonna be like, darn,

832
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: I should have started Jamis Winson. But this is why

833
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: he's such a volatile play because even in a home

834
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: game against the defense that seemed vulnerable on paper, Jamie sucked.

835
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: And this this isn't a case of I know, some

836
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: teams started a little bit slow because they didn't have

837
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: their they didn't play much during the preseason. But Jamis

838
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: and the Bucks they played like nearly a game's worth

839
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: of first team snaps in the preseason. So this isn't

840
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: This wasn't a rough situation. This was just Jamis being bad. O. J.

841
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: Howard wasn't very good, This Jar wasn't that particularly great. Um,

842
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just the Bucks offense. His whole was

843
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: not very good. Well, hey, a couple of nice runs

844
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: I saw. I saw Marcus Ears perk up there as

845
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: an I watched like late in that game. I was

846
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: kind of watching it and I saw somebody rip off

847
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: a running. I'm like that that it's wrong. I didn't

848
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: recognize him at first because he really has bulked up

849
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: and he's a second I'm like, is that Peyton Barb? Like, no,

850
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: that's not Peyton Barber. That that really is Ronaldo. And

851
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if Rojoe could be out there in some leagues.

852
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: So you may want to take a flyer on him

853
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, And you know, just as a footnote,

854
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: Darry Ogala was he had five targets in the game,

855
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. A lot of them came late

856
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: when they were losing and needing to catch up. But

857
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks could be losing a lot late and trying

858
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: to catch up. So he was kind of like that

859
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: deep league fantasy darling to the end of draft he

860
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: want he was the guy I definitely took some dart

861
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: throws that late in drafts. There last question I have

862
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: is there actually life in this Washington offense? Um? I

863
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: mean there's guys. Was Okay, maybe we didn't explain. I

864
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: was it was a tough matchup for him, that this

865
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: be the problem with him. Man, But man, Terry McLaurin

866
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere basically and it up. Well, the

867
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: Eagles secondary is really really bad. I mean, seven is awesome,

868
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: but there's the secondary has not been good for quite

869
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: some time. I'm not going to bank on the case.

870
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: Keenum came out and just looked like God carved him up.

871
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: He looks like God harved him up. Which is this

872
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: is this is gonna be the problem with guys, Like

873
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: I went back and pulled it up um for Pro

874
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: Football focused. Chris Thompson ran thirty seven pass routes. Dere's

875
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: guys ran eight. If guys isn't gonna be evolved in

876
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: the in the pass game, but he's basically three catches.

877
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: He's an RB three in PPR every single week and

878
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: his team is going to trail a ton And you

879
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: you mentioned a guy that's available in the waiver wire

880
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: two and I get it, like the dude is not durable.

881
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: But when Chris Thompson is the guy's good for five

882
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: six catches every single game. He had seven for sixty

883
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: eight he only had three carries, but you're not He's

884
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: He's like Tariko and light. Okay, while he's on the field,

885
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: and we know he's had injury concerns throughout his career,

886
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: But when he's on the field, this guy is a

887
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: pass catching maven and he is going to be contributing,

888
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: especially with guys not getting the opportunities as Graham mentioned

889
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher. So if you're in a PPR league,

890
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: and most of us are these days, I mean Chris Thompson,

891
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: he needs to be owned in your league. Another update

892
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: for me and Rapp report. This has just been a

893
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: show full of updates today. UM source says the Jaguar

894
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Urs have traded for Steelers quarterback Josh Dobbs. The compensation

895
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: is a rounder, So that's just, you know, something to

896
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: put in your back pocket, and you know they had

897
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: to do something. They had they had to fill out

898
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: their quarterback spot, obviously, with the world is so void

899
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks like the planet. I I always remember

900
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: Dave damask One saying that playing quarterback in the National

901
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: Football League is the hardest job in the world because

902
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: you can't even find thirty two good ones on how

903
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: many billions of people on this planet, right. I mean,

904
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: it's it's laughable, but it's it's absolutely true. It's hard

905
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: to find if your starter goes down. Like if you

906
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: look down the line of the starting quarterbacks in this

907
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: league and the guys who are backing them up, my goodness, gracious,

908
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott ever got hurt, Cooper Rush, okay, if

909
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: if if Patrick Mahomes ever got hurt severely, dear it's

910
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: Matt Moore, it is. It is scary out there behind

911
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: some of these starting quarterbacks. That also suggests to me

912
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: that Nick Foles might be done for the year. I

913
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: think if if if you was going to come back

914
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: in eight weeks, I think maybe they signed somebody off

915
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: the street. And I look, I know a fifth round

916
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: draft pick in isn't necessarily a huge giveaway, but it

917
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: is something. And I think if they if they thought

918
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: Nick Fole is going to be back in eight weeks,

919
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: maybe they just go out and side. They're obviously obviously concerned, obviously,

920
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: So there you go. Yeah, you're not you're not picking

921
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: up Josh Dobbs. Don't get it twisted, But I think

922
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: that's kind of a way to gauge what is going

923
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: on there in uh in Jacksonville. Right now, before we

924
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: get out of here, are waiver wire names for the week.

925
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: I put a few down here. I'm sure there are

926
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: some that are missing, so you guys feel free to

927
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: fill in the gaps there. Obviously, Markue's Hollywood Brown is

928
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: going to be one that is going to be super

929
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: popular after what happened. I mean, the good news Graham

930
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: is that he had all those yards and the touchdowns.

931
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: The bad news what fourteen snap snaps. A weird game

932
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: for the Ravens though, like Mark Ingram basically didn't play

933
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: in the second half. Robert Griffin the third I think

934
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: got in the game in like late in the third,

935
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: and I think he had a touchdown pass also to

936
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. Mark but by the way, high five Mark Andrews,

937
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: Bay Bay. Dude, Andrews kicked asked in that game? I

938
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, that was freaky. If he's available in

939
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: your league somehow, please go pick came up yet. One

940
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: final point about Mark's Brown. He's definitely one of the

941
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: top waiver players this week, but we just don't know

942
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: how the Ravens would intend to use him because this

943
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: is basically just a half game for they didn't have

944
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: to play at all. Yeah. Uh, John Brown, who you know,

945
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us felt like working with

946
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was going to be a good fate. It

947
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: was a lot closer to what he did with the

948
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco at the beginning of the year. Life had

949
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: a third round. Please Malcolm Brown. Malcolm Brown absolutely with

950
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: what he did, So he's gonna get some looks I

951
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: think now on waiver on waiver wires because of his work,

952
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone. DJ Chark after his big

953
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: game is going to be very much coveted on the

954
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Jamis. I can't stand that last name because

955
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: it makes me think of that stupid Shark. It just

956
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: drive me. There's gonna be so many puns right because

957
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: you got your baby Chark, you got Charc Week, you

958
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: got Charc Nado. Uh, there's so many things we can

959
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: do with d J Chark. Sorry, bro, Uh, you know

960
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: complaining to yours heard it before. It's not my fault. Um.

961
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, who I think a lot of us liked.

962
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: I definitely liked him. This week. The Jets passing game

963
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: as a whole did not look great. He had seventeen targets.

964
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: It's seventeen targets fourteen jetches for ninety nine yards. Which

965
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: that's your PPR Platinum play of the week. That is

966
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: I just are you still tilting? I just like I

967
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: just accepted that this is life now. But but Jamison

968
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: Crowd is going to get a lot of looks in

969
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: this offense. He's going to be a guy that you're

970
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna want to have on your roster. Terry McLaurin we

971
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: mentioned in Washington there we couldn't kind of figure out

972
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: how that wide receiver group is gonna work. But it

973
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: looks like Terry McLaurin is gonna be a nice play. Um.

974
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: I got a few more for you, please, GIOE. Bernard

975
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: because Joe Mixon, Joe Mixon is dealing with was an

976
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: ankle injury I think right now, Yeah, that sounds like

977
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: a mild spring. Doesn't sound like as serious as Tevin Coleman.

978
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: Always want to be insured, though, Yeah, you always want

979
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: to be insured. Hockinson is available in a lot of leagues.

980
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: John Ross, the former first round pick who had done

981
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: enough thing suddenly goes ballistic. I feel like this was

982
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: a case of John Ross going back to Seattle where

983
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: he was a college star and being like, yeah, this

984
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: is my time shine right, and then Michael Gallop giddy up.

985
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: Don't get him. Gallup was a dude that I was

986
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: like targeting late in drafts. I didn't start him in

987
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: any of my leagues. Um, but my goodness, gracious, like

988
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: he he he could see that he's ready to take

989
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: that second year leap. And with Dak Prescott fixing to

990
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: play as good as he's ever played, if not better

991
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: because he wants to get paid, Michael Gallup legitimately could

992
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: have wide receiver three value the rest of the season.

993
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: Galap was a guy that I liked last year too,

994
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: and yeah, he was like, um but yeah, this is

995
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: really really encouraging to see what he did on Sun

996
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: and I get it. You know. The Giants defense, sorry Eddie,

997
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: they're not very good. But the Cowboys offense, man, they

998
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: got they got some They got some very favorable matchups

999
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks of the season. Yeah,

1000
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: they get the Redskins next week, and then they get

1001
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at home. Oh my goodness, I can't wait. Guys,

1002
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, I can't wait. You know what's gonna happen.

1003
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: He is gonna end up being one. If this continues

1004
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: next season, he's going to be head coach. You watch,

1005
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: because that's the trend in the NFL. They're they're just

1006
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: you know Kingsbury like you know Zack that they're just

1007
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: hiring dudes. If you show compu show yes and are young,

1008
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: ye yes, show competency you were young, you're automatically head

1009
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: coaching candidate. Now. Uh. Yeah, No team used play action

1010
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: more yesterday than the cow than the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, no, absolutely,

1011
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: So it's something that they did not do nearly enough

1012
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: with Scotland hand last year. And I think that's the

1013
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: thing is like they didn't use a lot of play action.

1014
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: They also you know, didn't really challenge down field, which

1015
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: is something that we saw Dak doing. Oh now, Gallup

1016
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: is gonna giddy up, So I love it. There you go.

1017
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: Those are waiver wire picks. I'm sure there will be

1018
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: more than you can dig around and find in your

1019
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: respective leagues, but you know these are It's always a

1020
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: chance after week one to maybe try to get ahead

1021
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: of the curve, uh and see if you can outsmart

1022
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: the rest of your league. Mate. So there you go.
