1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. It's me and your man,

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: nam G Marcus Grant alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: and Michael Fabriano. And it's it's not playoff time fantasy wise,

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: but it's it's about time to start thinking playoff time. Yeah,

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: it is, And now is the time if you haven't

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: been doing so already, looking at the schedule, making trades.

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: Trade for guys who have really favorable schedules in the

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: fantasy postseason if you're headed there, and trade away those

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: who might have bad schedules, and a couple of the

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: running backs who have very favorable schedules. Dalvin Cook when

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: he comes back whenever he comes back, and um, and

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: we just made a trade involving Dalvin Cook, and um,

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: David Johnson too. Who will talk about what we're gonna

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: talk about David Johnson because I'm excited about David Johnson again.

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: There's reason to be optimistic about David Johnson again. Before

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: we get to that though, in point of other stuff

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: up behind the glasses always is our Facebook, Sir Edward L.

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Murphy Esquire Murph, what's up you guys, are talking about it,

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: David Johnson and playoff time. I mean, I'm linked to

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: him in many leagues. And Marcus your tweet before about

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Byron left which I was extremely funny, the picture of

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: him getting carried when he was a member of the

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Marshall Thundering Herd. Hopefully he makes David Johnson like worthy

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: of being a top three to five pick, which money

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: leagus he was right, which you know. I sent that

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: out because the what inspired it was a quote from

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich, who was the new play caller in Arizona,

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: saying that he plans to use David Johnson the way

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: Bruce arians use David Johnson two seasons ago when he

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: had his huge year. So that's that's all we can ask.

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: That really is all we can Yeah, and I wish

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: we could bring back the quarterback in the offensive line. Yeah,

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean sixteen, but we'll see. I mean, at least

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: there's some reason for optimism. Baby steps. Plus that Byron

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: left which game you know, I don't know if you

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: remember watching that game. I do. Yeah, it was one

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: of the most phenomenal things I've ever seen in a

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: college football game. For those who don't know. And I

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: don't remember who they were playing, but but Marshall trailing

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: in a game in which Byron left which had actually

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: broken his leg, and the thundering her trying to run

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: a two minute drill offense to come back and win,

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: which they did, by the way, but they wanted with

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Byron left, which standing in the pocket throwing a pass

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: but not being able to run because of his injury,

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: so his offensive lineman two of them would pick him

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: up and literally carry him to the line of scrimmage

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: for the next play. It was. It's still one of

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: the most amazing things I think I've ever seen. Now

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: I have to watch it. He just to update. November

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: second toousand two, Marshall took on Akron in a MAC

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: regular season game. Unfortunately, Marshall lost thirty four to twenty,

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: but left which had over three yards with a broken leg,

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: so they lost that game. I thought they run that

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: game for some reason, I think, just the game and

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: somehow chucked the ball for over thirty yards like as

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: he was getting carried in the field like three all linemen.

59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: That was amazing, absolutely amazing. So anyway, we will ask,

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: of course, preview all the week eight games will have

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Eddie's delirious pick will take some of your tweets as

62
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: well for our mail back. But in the meantime, let's

63
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: do some news. Dalvin Cook, as FABS alluded to earlier

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: UH favorable schedule down the stretch, but not expected to

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: play against the Saint fact he may have already been

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: ruled out. Have to double check that, but it's another

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: week where Latavious Murray is going to take the lead

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: as the Vikings running back. But FABS, for as much

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: as we kind of picked on the Saints offense for

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and wide receivers, they've been really tough against running backs. Yeah,

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: they have been, and maybe it's because teams are just

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down their throats, but they've been really,

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, we had Alex Collins said him

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: last week, and he put up a stinker and part

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: of the reason why, I mean, the Saints are giving

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: up nothing. I mean, the yards per carrey average allowed

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: is one of the lowest in in history. I mean

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the last I looked at it, it was the lowest.

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: It's the two thousand Baltimore Ravens. So the Saints are

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: a formidable opponent. And when you have a running back

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: going up against them, you have to maybe think twice

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: about whether or not you should start that player. Yeah,

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, and you mentioned the trade that we made. Uh.

84
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: You gave me Dalvin Cook. You also gave me Otavius Murray,

85
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: who I'm totally I may have to start him, not

86
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: because I like it, but just because the the roster

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I have right now sort of dictates it. But it's

88
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: not a great matchup for him this week. Although I

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: will say this, Davis Murray has played well the last

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: two weeks. He has played very well the last yeah

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: he has. Now he's he's had a couple of good

92
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: matchups and he's been able to exploit those matchups, which

93
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: is great. Now this week tough matchup. But then assuming

94
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Devin doesn't come back, and and my expectation that he's

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: back week eleven again, that's that's got Detroit and boy

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: he could be a top ten Yeah, he could be

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: a top ten running back. Uh in week nine against

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: that bad defense. You know, it's funny like because every

99
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: time we think with Tavias Murray is dead, he comes

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: back to life. He comes and uh and actually doing

101
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: pretty well. I mean, you have go about it. Last

102
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: is he like the Freddy Krueger. He sort of is.

103
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: He's Michael Meyers or Jason Vorhees. You know, last year

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't supposed to you know, he was he was

105
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: a backup, He was an afterthought. And Dalvin Cook gets

106
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: hurt and then you know, Jeric McKinnon and David's Murray

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: end up having good seasons and sort of the same

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: thing this year as well. Uh, speaking of injured running backs,

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: but while Powell season is over, he has a neck injury,

110
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: goes on injured reserve. Uh. That probably ends his time

111
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: with the Jets as well, but for our purposes, it means,

112
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: at least in the short term, more Isaiah Krowell. But

113
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: looking down the road, Elijah McGuire might be back. So

114
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: he was placed on I R with the designation to

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: possibly return. Uh anytime after week eight. These guys can

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: come back. So Elijah McGuire seems like a nice pick

117
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: up and stash name. Yeah, no doubt about that. And

118
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: and for Crowell this week, you know the volume is

119
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: going to be there obviously because you know they got

120
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: you got crow and Trent and Cannon. But he hadn't

121
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: really done anything and he had that thirty point came

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: against the Broncos where he went nuts, and then outside

123
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: of that, he's done nothing for the for the past

124
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: month or so. And the Bears are given up three

125
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: point four yarch per carry. Uh, they're giving up few

126
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: of the nineteen PPR points per game the running backs.

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: It's a home game, you would think game script is

128
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: not gonna favor Isaiah Crowell. So despite the volume, I

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: think he is a very volatile flex starter this week

130
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: at best. Yeah, this is the week that I'm probably

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: avoiding him where I can, I get it. If you

132
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: have to play him, so be it. But it's not.

133
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: It's not particularly the best matchup. The upside though, is

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: that with Noble All Powell, hopefully that means more volume

135
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: for Crowell Um. So I don't know. You can try

136
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: to hang your hat on that if you like more.

137
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: This is all pretty much running back news today. Marlon Mack,

138
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: who has been so good the last couple of weeks

139
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: and who has a phenomenal matchup this week against the Raiders.

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: So he went from being limited in practice on Wednesday

141
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: to missing practice on Thursday's good he was going in

142
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: the wrong direction with like, I mean, why why he

143
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: was great and we're starting to buy end and this

144
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: was the week to maybe start him and really take advantage.

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy sucks sometimes it does. Man, you can't have nice things,

146
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: So keep tabs on the status on Friday. Obviously, if

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: he's back at practice, even in a limited fashion, that's

148
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: a good thing. But if not, then you're going back

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: to minds. I mean, I don't know if i'd played

150
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins, but Nahem Hines suddenly a guy who's probably

151
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire now because people saw what Mac didn't.

152
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Hines didn't get anymore burned. He could

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: end up being a viable flex starter if Matt can't

154
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: go well. Robert Turbin apparently is also coming off a

155
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: dislocated short, so yes, did not for you know this

156
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: practicing limited fashion right now. So that's one that I

157
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: might kind of avoid, right Uh. And finally, Lashawn McCoy

158
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol. Left the game last time with

159
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: a head injury, and it looks kind of sketchy for

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: him to play this week. But even if he even

161
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: if he does play, it's not the best matchup in

162
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, Patriots are sort of middle of

163
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: the road. But I think it's it's scary enough that

164
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: I would I would find another option if I had one. Yeah,

165
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: And and here's the problem too, is that if you

166
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: didn't handcuff him with Chris Ivory, well, then unless you

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: have Kenyan Barner on your team, considering it's a Monday

168
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: night game, you're gonna end up kind of hurting yourself

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: because you want to have a running back to start.

170
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: So if you've got McCoy and Ivory, I think you're

171
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: safe because Ivory will play and he did well last week.

172
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: He's done okay when McCoy has been out of games.

173
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: If you don't, you may have to consider other options.

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: And in a deeper league, you know, maybe Kenyan Barner

175
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: is that option. If McCoy is out as a last

176
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: minute inactive. Uh, I mean that's I don't want Barner

177
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: in my lineup. So yeah, that's a yeah, it's a

178
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: scary situation. All right. There you go. That's pretty much

179
00:08:45,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: everything you need to know, are right, And it's time

180
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: to talk about the week eight slate of games, and

181
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: we will start just as we did last week over

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: in London. Technically it's Eagles at Jaguars, Eagles versus you

183
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: know why that they're anywhere at London. It's at London,

184
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: but technically it is a home game for the Jaguars. Um.

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: The first question about this, though, is after a couple

186
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: of weeks of kind of getting lit up, are we

187
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: still afraid of the Jaguars defense fantasy was? I mean, well,

188
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not going to start any of the running

189
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: backs because of the opposition, right, I mean, Corey Clement

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: hasn't really done anything. Wendell Smallwood is actually seen more

191
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: snaps than him, so that's something I want to avoid.

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: And you know, a j boy is gonna be out.

193
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: So you've got Jalen Ramsey. We're expecting him to be

194
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: covering Alshon. Jeffrey probably gonna still start Aushon, but maybe

195
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: you've got a sort of decrease his ceiling a little

196
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: bit in that game because Jalen Ramsey has been so good.

197
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: But you know, even Carson Wentz, I mean, like I

198
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: get it. The Jaguars defense is not kind of and

199
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: what you know is great, but I mean they held

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: they held Watson the next to nothing, and you know,

201
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks still have not put up great numbers when

202
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: they faced Jacksonville. So even if I have Carson Wentz,

203
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Like if I have Wentz and say at Jamis Winston

204
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: or in Andy Dalton, then I'm probably fading Wentz this week. Yeah,

205
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: as good as he's been, he's been very good, and

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: so like, I still sort of believe, and I just

207
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I think the worst thing about the Jaguars defense is

208
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense to keep putting no absolutely absolutely yeah

209
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: and making it hard. Yeah yeah. I mean the great

210
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: play in that game is the Eagles defense because Blake

211
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Bortles is back to being the turnover machine that we

212
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: all have come to know and love, at least when

213
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: we're streaming defenses against him. Now, the one question here

214
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: in that Jaguars backfield. So, okay, we expect Carlos Hide

215
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: to be active, right, who starts? Is it yelled in?

216
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Is it Hide? Is it a committee situation? Remember they

217
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: cut Jamaal Charles, so it's basically hiding yelled in? Do

218
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: you start either one of these backs? I think if

219
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I start one, it might actually be yelled in. Um.

220
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Just the Eagles against pass catching backs have not been

221
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: great so far this year, and you know, having losing

222
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: losing Derek Barnett. I think it's a big blow to

223
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: that defense. Um, yeah, it's it's less pressure on the quarterback.

224
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: So I guess I leans toward yelled In, but I

225
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: don't like it because I just think they're going to

226
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: sort of cannibalize one another there, Carlos Hide coming in,

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: and I just have a feeling that Jaguars want to

228
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: go back to trying to be a run first team

229
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: like they were with Leonard four Nette. This means bad

230
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: things for yelled In. I don't know that that Carlos

231
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Hide is gonna be great, just it's just bad. I

232
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: will give you one sleeper in this game, and that's

233
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief, who has quietly had thirteen plus PPR points

234
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: and three of his last four games. He's averaged almost

235
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: ten targets in his last three contest and the Eagles

236
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: are giving up the second most fantasy points to wide

237
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: receivers who are lined out wide this season. So keep

238
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that in mind if you need a flex starter, if

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: you're in a league where you start three wide receivers,

240
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: whatever the case, maybe Moncreased probably out there on the

241
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: waiver wire and he's worth a roll of the dice. Yeah,

242
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I do like him kind of as a sleep for

243
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: this week. Broncos at Chiefs. Okay, Emmanuel Sanders has been

244
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: very good. Not a surprise there. Philips has been pretty good.

245
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: That was definitely surprised, but now we're sort of, you know,

246
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: used to that happening. Any Broncos beyond that that you

247
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: can trust regularly, even against the Kansasy Chiefs. Anybody there

248
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: that you trust regularly, Beyonce, Lindsay and Sanders, well, I

249
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: mean Lindsay, I'm trusting He's been good. Race Freeman's banged up,

250
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: not sure if he's gonna play this week, but regardless,

251
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Lindsay has proven to be the guy. The last time

252
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: he played the Chiefs, which is a few weeks back,

253
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I believe he had right around sixteen PPR points. But

254
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Chief's defense has actually been playing better, right,

255
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: So Case Keenum, I just don't trust Case Keenum. I

256
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: mean even two QB League or Super Flex League, I

257
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: just don't trust him. The Marius four teams on a

258
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: by you maybe have to play him depending on the

259
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: size of your league, the size of your rosters, but

260
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to necessarily like it. And it's funny too,

261
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: because when I wrote started him and said him this

262
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: week the two highest scoring defenses from a week ago

263
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Broncos rams bull sits this week. There is no more

264
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: must start defensive No, not anymore. Just last season you

265
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: had the Jaguars who you started every week. There is

266
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: no more must start defenses. And the Broncos should be

267
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: back on the waiver wire this week. That's certain. That's

268
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: just the state of the NFL nowadays, those such things

269
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: as a defense that you know can can bawl out

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: every single week. But would you consider starting the Chiefs defense?

271
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks? They have not been bad

272
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: there turnovers, they're scoring fantasy points, are getting sacks. Uh,

273
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Broncos offense hasn't been lights out. I mean,

274
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, Case Keenan is barely hanging on to his job.

275
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: Would would you consider starting the chief Yeah, dude, I

276
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: actually have them in my top ten this week that

277
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: they're one of those defenses that, Okay, I get it.

278
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: You know in the early part of the season, you know,

279
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: they weren't very good. Uh, they went through a three

280
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: week stretch where I think they scored about seven fantasy

281
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: points combined. But in the last couple of games, you know,

282
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: they had twenty two. Then they went to New England

283
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and got you know, toasted. They had nothing, which is

284
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: sort of why again, there are no much our defenses anymore.

285
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: But they gave you fourteen last week against the Bengals,

286
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: and you mentioned it. Case Keenum is a guy who's

287
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: who's not careful with the football. Let's just put it

288
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: that way. And I do believe that this Chief's defense

289
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: could give you another nice stat line at home at Arrowhead.

290
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of crazy. Like you know, start

291
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: of the year, we were just picking on the Chief's

292
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: defense left and right. We were staying away from him.

293
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny their last two games at

294
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: home combined thirty six fantasy points. Pretty good. Funny how

295
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: things change over the course of a long season. Brown's

296
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: at the Steelers. Now, as I was looking at this

297
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: and I was going through making this rundown and you know,

298
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of looking at the stats and numbers and that

299
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: sort of thing, I got hit with an interesting thought.

300
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: Right right now, as we sit here recording this podcast

301
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: at three pm Pacific time on Thursday, October, reminds me,

302
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm tired. It's been a long day, Eddie, Who would

303
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: you rather have David and Joku or Rob Grunkhowski? Okay,

304
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: can I ask a question? Is Rob Gronkowski healthy or

305
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: is he hurt? I mean it's it's it's Gronk as

306
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: he is right now, which is like, you know, maybe

307
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: he's maybe he's not. He's just kind of banged up

308
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: in And it isn't it crazy that this is actually

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: like drawing thought, Like I don't say Gronkowski boom right away.

310
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: I still say Gronkowski. But ever since Baker Mayfield took

311
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: over as a starter in Cleveland, I mean, and Joko

312
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: has scored no fewer than ten PPR points. He's got ten, twelve, eighteen,

313
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: fifteen getting into the end zone the last couple of weeks.

314
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: Good matchup against the Steelers this week, so it wouldn't

315
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: be shocked if you had more points than Gronk again,

316
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I'd probably roll

317
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: with Gronkowski. But and Joku, despite a very slow start

318
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: to the season, has really come on and and made

319
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy owners who had faith in him

320
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: as a potential tight end one very happy this season. Yeah,

321
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and Joker was a guy that I

322
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: thought was a sleeper coming into the year, and immediately

323
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: like I didn't I didn't have the stomach to like

324
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on him in a lot of leagues.

325
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: I think I've got him in a couple of places. Um,

326
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: And you know, the first couple of weeks when and

327
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: to Rod Taylor was still the quarterback, there was nothing.

328
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't looking great, and it was like easy to

329
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: sort of pull the shoot and bail out on that.

330
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: But if you if you kept the faith or if

331
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: you grabbed him off the waiver wire, you've been rewarded

332
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: ever since Baker Mayfield took over at quarterbacks. So, uh,

333
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: things are working out. And yes, I think I probably

334
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: would go wrong, but I really looked at that a

335
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: long time last man. So it's so weird. You know,

336
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: season in and season out, the questions that sort of

337
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: come out that may have been considered just absolute ridiculousness

338
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, and then you're seven

339
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: or eight weeks in and you're like, yeah, actually this

340
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: is pretty close. Yeah, I mean, who who would to

341
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: know him? It's like, you know, would you rather have

342
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay for the rest of the season or David Johnson,

343
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: and you're thinking in August, dude, Philip, who what what? What?

344
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Broncos running who? And now it's like, wow, they're close,

345
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, insane, man, it's wild. Um Okay, So the

346
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Steelers were at home, which normally means Ben Roethlisberger. I

347
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: was going back through his game logs, though he's been

348
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: sort of hit or miss against the Browns, even at

349
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: home or on the road. Um, I assume you're still

350
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: starting Been this week, No, no doubt about that. I'm

351
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: starting him. And again, you know, depends on what your

352
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: alternatives are. But in the league's that I have Big Ben,

353
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: my alternatives are are not as good and home game Browns,

354
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: and the Browns have gotten wrecked twice by quarterbacks on

355
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: the road earlier this season. Derek Carr lit him up.

356
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: I believe you had thirty one points in a five

357
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: quarter game. And then we also, of course had that

358
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: game against Jamis Winston where Winston gave you twenty and

359
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot of it was as a running as a runner,

360
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: but still twenties twenties. So I'm sticking with Big Ben.

361
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: Coming off the bye week, you know, I'm starting to

362
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: think in our in our calculations against the Browns, Right,

363
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: should we just start? Should we start projecting for five quarters?

364
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: Because they seem to play overtime like every other week?

365
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: Like maybe should just start start whoever? Because chances or

366
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: they get a fifth quarter to produce. Rightah, Overtime games

367
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: are good for fantasy purpose, more chances to throw or

368
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: run or do whatever, because more opportunities. Alright, Washington head

369
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: into New York to take on the Giants. Is Jordan

370
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: read droppable at this point? I was looking, I was

371
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: looking for a week and it's I know, and the

372
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: matchup is not good this week either, I mean droppable.

373
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about droppable because I mean the tight

374
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: end position is so thin, you know, when people are

375
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, rolling c j Usama out there every single week.

376
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Jordan reads droppable. The way that I

377
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: like to factor into whether or not I think a

378
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: player should be dropped off my roster is not or

379
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: not is if I drop him, is someone picking him

380
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: up immediately? And I feel like if I dropped Jordan Read,

381
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna get picked up in a heartbeat. And I

382
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: mean the Redskins are down like all the receivers like

383
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: I have nobody, and I get it was the same

384
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: thing last week. You didn't know anything. But I guess

385
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm I would still hold out hope, but if in position,

386
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: it would be hard for me to cut. I mean

387
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: his his weekly his weekly totals, right, I mean week one,

388
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: he had are he ate in the touchdown, which is

389
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: his only touchdown to the year. Since then fifty five yards.

390
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: It's been bad. One yards, one catch for twenty one yards,

391
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: thirty six and then forty three. Yeah, it's been bad.

392
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh I do it. Yeah, it's been bad. It's just been.

393
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: It's been and it's you know, it's funny. So apparently

394
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: we get that there are two There are two versions

395
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: of Jordan Reid. We get the really productive guy who

396
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: gets hurt and doesn't play a full same thing, and

397
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: now we get this healthy version of Jordan Reid who

398
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: doesn't catch the ball anymore. Yeah, I think I think

399
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the first one. At least we get

400
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: some production. Like Alex Smith, I thought he liked to

401
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball to the tight end, but I guess

402
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't like to throw the ball to the tight

403
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: end unless his name is like what names Sir Travis Kelsey,

404
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: he likes doing to the Runan Davis certainly, I mean

405
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: maybe the old San Francisco Pals or something. Who knows.

406
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: Uh Anyway, that's uh um another weird question here, right

407
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, I mean, without getting into too much of it,

408
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: there's no denying that Eli Manning has been bad this year.

409
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: But we know that he's gonna throw it to O

410
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: b J. We know he's gonna throw it to Quon.

411
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: Now as the Giants are trying to figure out what

412
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: to do for the rest of the season, you know

413
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: they're trading people. It seems as though they're starting to

414
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: rebuild already, don't. We still want Eli to play, and

415
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: there's talk that Kyle a Lett at some point is

416
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 1: gonna play. And but like we all still want Eli, right,

417
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: just because it's sort of the devil we know versus

418
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: the devil we don't know, right for what happened last

419
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: season when they pulled Eli and put Gino in there

420
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: for no parent reason, for no reason at all, And no,

421
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: I want to Eli in there because the alternative is

422
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: is not good. It's not better from a fantasy perspective. Unfortunately,

423
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: coaches don't run their rosters based on fantasy because if

424
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: they did, where our lives would be a whole. I'm

425
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: a lot easier. But Eli is coming off a twenty

426
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: point game and it was kind of like the ugliest

427
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: twenty point game you ever saw. He didn't really do

428
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: anything spectacular. It was all kind of dinks and dunks,

429
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: which has done. He had a couple of uh long

430
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: connections to of course with ob j and Sterling Shepherd.

431
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: But like this week, I don't care who the quarterback

432
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: is for the Giants. I ain't playing him because the

433
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Red Stakes defense is tough. NFC East game. I mean,

434
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: you know the Reds kids like their in first place.

435
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're not even that good because the NFC

436
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: East is just it's awful this season. But I would

437
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: expect more of a low scoring game, and I would

438
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: not expect Elimanning to put up a nice number this weekend.

439
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect Alex Smith to do the same thing.

440
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: It's amazing that Alex Smith was a top five quarterback

441
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: last season. It's amazing because he is back to being

442
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: what Alex Smith is, which is a a field general

443
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: who's kind of a game manager and doesn't really score

444
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy points and um for anyone who

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: waited and drafted him late, well, hopefully it put him

446
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire because he has not been worth

447
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: that draft pick. Yeah, no, that's been It has been

448
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: frustrating there. This has this all has a feeling though,

449
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: of a game that the Giants somehow win out of nowhere,

450
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: Like it's been bad for the last couple of weeks.

451
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Everybody's like dumping on him. It's like, you know, it's

452
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: it's everything's everything's a dumpster fire there and like people like, oh, yeah,

453
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: you're Washington there, and first this just feels like a

454
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: game out of nowhere. They somehow sneak up and they

455
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: dropped like a thirty bomb on somebody. As a Cowboys fan,

456
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: I actually have to uh, I'm sure you'd be okay

457
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: with it. I got a root for the Giants this

458
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: week because we actually have a shot at getting you know,

459
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: maybe like a playoff spot, which is ridiculous to think

460
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys are not that great of a team,

461
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: but the NFC East is so bad and now we

462
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: got a Marie Cooper. Honestly, work for me a non

463
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, that is maybe the worst spot to be

464
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: in as a fan, like your team is just good

465
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: enough to make the playoffs, but you know they're not

466
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: good enough to actually do anything because then what like

467
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: you get bounced in the first round, you get a

468
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: mediocre spot in the draft, Like there's just like the pills, right,

469
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: you're just because that's that's how you get stuck in

470
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: football purgatory, like you're just kind of hanging out there

471
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: and not really doing anything. You're not you're not bad

472
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: enough to get a good draft pick, You're not good

473
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: enough to actually compete. It's got to be frustrating. H

474
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks at the Lions. Last time we saw Doug Baldwin,

475
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: he was like looking more like Doug Baldwin having a

476
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: nice game. He had like nineties od yards. He looked

477
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: like he was back to being himself. Then they go

478
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: on to buy, so we have to wait. But now,

479
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: even though the Lion's secondary has been pretty good, are

480
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: we back on board the Baldwin bendwagon? Boy? You got

481
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: that out like that real? Well? That was good. I'm

482
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: playing him as a three. That's kind of where I've

483
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: been slotting him into my lineup before the bye week,

484
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: and it was good to see him start to get

485
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: that connection again with Russell Wilson. But the one concern

486
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: that I have is that the Seahawks are running the

487
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: ball like I mean this, I mean, well except for

488
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, which is killing us. Russell's not running the

489
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: long guy who's not running the ball. But I mean, like,

490
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Lion's defense is so bad against the

491
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: run and being gasses why they made the trade for snacks. Um.

492
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to help them this week.

493
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: But you know, Seattle lean on Chris Carson, they can

494
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: lean on Mike Davis uh, potentially limiting Baldwin ceiling this week.

495
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I have him as a three uh slash flex starter

496
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: and hoping for good things. I do believe that Darius

497
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: Slay will end up hooking up against Tyler Lockett in

498
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: this contest, so Baldwin should miss out on Detroit's best

499
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: cover corner. That's because I kind of like, I kind

500
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: of like the title of lock potentially as a sleeper

501
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: in this one. But if he's locked up against Slay, Yeah,

502
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: what do we do about Marvin Jones? I don't know,

503
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: cut him? Yeah, Like he's he's a guy who's not

504
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: He's barely rosterable based on the resume of two thousand

505
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: and seventeens production, which was very good. But I mean

506
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: they have Golladay, they have Golden Tate, and suddenly they

507
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: got a little running game going there. Garry on Johnson

508
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: starting looked good, man. I hope they keep giving him

509
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: the ball. We'll see, um Theo Riddick has been banged

510
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: up and missed last week's game, so we'll see if

511
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: carry ons uh workload declines at all this week. Hopefully not.

512
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: I have him slotted in as an RB two this week.

513
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: But Marvin Jones is getting real close to being a

514
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: guy that just belongs in the waiver wire. And I mean,

515
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: let's be honest too, like Matt Stafford. Okay, you know,

516
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: I get it. Matt Stafford's all always in the top

517
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: ten at the end of the season. You know, he

518
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: has his peaks and valleys. But he hadn't been that

519
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: good this sea and I don't know if he gets

520
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: in the top ten. I mean if you look at

521
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: his numbers right now. I mean in the first week

522
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: of the season, I remember, I mean he didn't anything

523
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: against the Jets. I mean that was that was dumpster fire.

524
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: That was, but I mean, looking he's he's put up

525
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: what fewer than eighteen fantasy points in four of his

526
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: first six games the QB nineteen, Right, yeah, And at

527
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: this point, like eighteen points is kind of like it's

528
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: that's the lowmark for a good performance from a quarterback, right,

529
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're not getting eighteen and more from

530
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback in this day and age this season, it's

531
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: not really all that good. And the Seahawks are are tough.

532
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, They're not the legion of boom,

533
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: but I mean, right now, quarterbacks have a seventy nine

534
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: point nine passer reading against them, and no quarterbacks finished

535
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: better than thirteenth and fantasy points against them. So Stafford

536
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: is a guy that I actually cut him in one

537
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: of my league's believe it or not, because it's a

538
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: ten team league and there was just a lot of

539
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks out there. But uh, Stafford is not a

540
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: guy I'm playing this week. And Russell wills And is

541
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: also an interesting uh an interesting case here because the

542
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Tritch defense, as bad as they are against the run,

543
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: pretty tough against quarterbacks this season. So and Russell, I mean,

544
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: his last two games before the by were pretty good.

545
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: But if he's not giving you consistent rushing yardage and

546
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: if he's not the threat to run the football as

547
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: he's been for most of his career, I mean, that

548
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: limits his ceiling from a fantasy perspective big time. So

549
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see what they do with Russell

550
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: this week. To me, he's a fade. I don't have

551
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: him my top twelve. I mean, to me, the rushing

552
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: yards are maybe the biggest surprise. Yeah, he's he's not

553
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: even on pace for like two yards. That's the biggest

554
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: And maybe it's I don't know. I think it's a

555
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: combination of the things. And I think it's one that

556
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: he's taken a lot of hits in the last couple

557
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: of years behind a bad offensive line. Uh. The other

558
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: part of it is that they have figured out a

559
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: running game, so it's not necessarily imperative for him to

560
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: run the football quite a much because they can turn

561
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 1: around and hand it to Chris Carson or Mike Davis

562
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: or whomever. So they don't necessarily need Russell Wilson to

563
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: get out and run. But that's not helping. It's not

564
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: helping us, and I don't know how that's really helping

565
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: necessarily the the Seahawks offense if he's gonna be stationary

566
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: in the pocket, because that's just not his game, that's

567
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: not what's made him really good. All these Bucks at Bengals,

568
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: is this that the Sean Jackson week? Like, it's hard

569
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: to figure out when it's a the Sean Jackson week?

570
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: Is this one? See? I have I have a less

571
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: faith in Jackson since Winston took over because they just

572
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: can't connect. They don't have that rapport going on. And

573
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Jackson has one touchdown since Week two and

574
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: it was a rushing touchdown. That's it. And his numbers,

575
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, when he had fits magic in the areas

576
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: at one one twenty nine, You're like, oh, Jackson's back

577
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: had one twelve in Week four against the Bears, and

578
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: then since then you've got seventy seven, you've got twenty five,

579
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: and the fantasy production is really not there. Chris Godwin

580
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: is also in the Knicks. Mike Evans clearly the guy

581
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: that I really like in this game. From the Buccaneers, though,

582
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: is O. J. Howard. O J. Howard is making Cameron

583
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: Braight sort of disappear from the fantasy at Landscape at least,

584
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: he's a playmaker who a lot of us expected him

585
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: to be a deep sleeper this season much in the

586
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: in the same vein as in David and Jokub. And

587
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: he's played extremely well and he's gaining that rapport with Winston.

588
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: And I really do think he is a top ten

589
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: tight end this week and probably moving forward, uh, throughout

590
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. You know, think about de

591
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson and James Winston. De Sean Jackson is still

592
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: one of the fastest men in the NFL. How does

593
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston overthrow him all the time? Like? How I

594
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: really think if we had, if he had been old enough,

595
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: we could have seen him to Iraq, he would have

596
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: overthrown Saddam Hussain. Oh my goodness, gracious, how about that one?

597
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 1: Really he would have pulled the statue right down all

598
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: by himself. Just I don't know how they can't how

599
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: it is that he overthrows' expecting that at all the time.

600
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: It's just it blows me away. I mean, it's almost

601
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: if it weren't so unproductive, like it would almost be

602
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: like an amazement to me. Anyway, I don't I would

603
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 1: like to say, and I haven't done the podcast, you know,

604
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: for a few years, but I guarantee that's got to

605
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: be the first. Saddam probably mentioned probably Fantasy Life podcast

606
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: probably got Um, this is a good Andy Dalton week, right,

607
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: like we can. I know, last week we thought it

608
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: was a good Andy Dalton week because he's playing the Chiefs.

609
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, started though, and then he later third.

610
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Um you know what we forgot? It was prime time,

611
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: prime time game. He was on the ra at the

612
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: prime time game, Like we didn't think about that. So

613
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: this week, uh, he's at home, it's not in prime

614
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: time and the Bucks are still bad. So like this

615
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: this is good right, like we can start Andy Adultons right,

616
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. And I mean look at the numbers, right,

617
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are giving up twelve touchdown passes. Uh, and

618
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: they're giving up thirt or four points a game, two

619
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the road, and this one is in the

620
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Queen City. I say, the red rifle gets gets right

621
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. All Right, I have him. I don't

622
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: know if I have in my top ten. He's either

623
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: ten or eleven, but it's it's a good week for

624
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: quarterback matchup. So that's not to say he is not

625
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: a startdom. I would definitely start him. I started him

626
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: over Russell Wilson. I'd start him over Cam Newton. I'd

627
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: started him over Matt Stafford. All right, yeah, I think

628
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Stafford definitely. After we yet at a little Stafford chat

629
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: just um Jets at Bears, no more ball pile, we

630
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about Isaiah Crowell's value. Interesting. I

631
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't put this in here, but just thinking about this

632
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon, because again, we're all thirsty for tight ends

633
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: we are without Quincy and Noon. I just have a

634
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: feeling that that Chris Herndon, you know, he's not gonna

635
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: be a target monster or anything, but that he's gonna

636
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: get some looks, and especially down near the goal line

637
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: when the Jets can get there. I doesn't have a

638
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: sneaky feeling that Chris Herndon's a nice stream play this week.

639
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: Three weeks in a row, though, you think, like I

640
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: feel like at some point with a player like Chris Herndon,

641
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: and he's had two touchdowns in his last two games,

642
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, Okay, he's not gonna have another touchdown

643
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: in the third consecutive week. And it's the Bears that

644
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: soldier field. It's I don't know if I could play him.

645
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Jerry O'Connell actually loved him last week. Jerry O'Connell right,

646
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: the diamonds in the rough. But I don't know if

647
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm playing on this week. I will tell you this.

648
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: If he does have a good, good line this week, Um,

649
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: then you're starting to think about it. Then you're starting

650
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: to think about it. But I need another week. And

651
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: I did to see him do it against a good defense,

652
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: and this is I mean the Bears defense is still

653
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of it's still pretty good. Yes, I guess it's

654
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: still kind of good. Um, I'd fade him all right? Um?

655
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: Is this is this the last chance? Not last chance?

656
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, what if Jordan Howard doesn't do it

657
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: this week? Or that song just just came into my

658
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: head last dance Jesus Summer, Little Donna Summer that so

659
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: I just popped into my head. But is this is

660
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: this kind of like the last chance for Georgie Howard?

661
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: Are we are we gonna start like, you know, what

662
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: do we do if he doesn't do it this week

663
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: against the Jets? Like three Cohen has has taken over

664
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: back there. You you would have never thought in a

665
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: million years, I would have pulled the Donna Summer Hussein

666
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: and Donna Summer. Right, I know what's going on in here, Eddie. Um.

667
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, you can't cut him, but you don't

668
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: necessarily have to like playing him again. You have four

669
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: teams on a buy. I mean, but his numbers have

670
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: been you know, two point five, four point nine, he

671
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: had the touchdown last week. He didn't rushed for more

672
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: than eighty two yards in a game this season, and

673
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, and Maurice Jones Drew was talking about how

674
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: things are gonna get better when it gets colder. Maybe

675
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Maybe it's not gonna happen. But at

676
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: this point, I mean, Joe Hooes a flex for me,

677
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean borderline r B two flex for me. And

678
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: that's it, just because we know how good he is.

679
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been tremendous in his in his NFL

680
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: career in his first two seasons, rushed for over a

681
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: thousand yards in both seasons. But I mean, at this point,

682
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right. I mean Cohen went from boy,

683
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: should he even be rostered in fantasy leagues? To holy crap,

684
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: he's averaging twenty six games. So Cohen is certainly the

685
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: running back of choice in Chicago when it comes to

686
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: fantasy right now. And Jordan Howard is a guy that

687
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: if if the biobeeks are over, I've got a full compliment.

688
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: I've got a good stable of running backs that if

689
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: he didn't turn things around, and he hasn't turned things around,

690
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: and he's had some good matchups too, if he doesn't

691
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: turn things around, he's gonna be on my bench. This

692
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: was a guy that I thought, after the first couple

693
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: of weeks, could end up being like a league winner

694
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: for people. I really thought that that's that's where things

695
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: were gonna go with Jordan Howard. And uh no, no, no, no,

696
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: doesn't happened, not not at all. G Sweet is a

715
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: going through the week eight schedule here, we're down to

716
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens at the Panthers. Uh, two teams that you know,

717
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: defensively are pretty good. It's not a great matchup on

718
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: either side anywhere, but except one place. The Panthers are

719
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: kind of rough against tight ends. They've given up some

720
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: yards and some some touchdowns to tight ends. But the

721
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: problem here is I can't make any sense of the

722
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: Ravens tight end situation. There's like four guys that are

723
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: all rotating through and I was like trying to figure

724
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: ou who's getting more snaps and it's so evenly spread

725
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: out there's just the just no analysis to be may.

726
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: I can't figure anything out about there's no one to

727
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: trust there that that's the big problem. I mean, if

728
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: it was a different season and we knew it was

729
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: like Ben Watson, for example, you know when he was there,

730
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe you throw him in there as

731
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: a potential streamer this week. But you're looking at a

732
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: situation where you know Hayden Hurst is in the mix. Yeah,

733
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle, Max Williams and Mark Andrews. I mean, geez,

734
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: there's no one there's that There's not one guy. And

735
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I believe you know, obviously long term that guy should

736
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: be Hayden Hurst, but right now it's just not the guy.

737
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: There is John Brown at the wide receiver position, who's

738
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: been tremendous, who has been a great draft bargain this season,

739
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: and he's been Joe Flacco's guy. But at the tight

740
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: end position regardless, there's just no one to trust. And

741
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: it's too bad too, because we could use all the

742
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: time they can get. Seriously, I mean, wow, I never

743
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: thought we'd go to a place where there's like a

744
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: tight end committee, Like I never thought what it is.

745
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I never thought we'd see it. Yeah, that's what it is. Um,

746
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: how are we feeling about Christian McCaffrey's twenty eight team,

747
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: because it's like it's the thing that people spent a

748
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: fairly high draft pick on him thinking he was sort

749
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: of a fringe RB one and the returns have not

750
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: been and he partially because Cam Newton keeps taking all

751
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: of his touchdowns. Just the production is not matched what

752
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: we expected. This year started off great, started off great.

753
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he had what twenty plus and I think

754
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: three of us first four UM, but he's got one

755
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: touchdown that's it man, And and it was a pass

756
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: catching touchdown. He's only rushed for over heart yards one

757
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: time he had that monster game. I think it was

758
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Ye just went nuts. But yeah, if

759
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep getting thirteen and fourteen and fifteen

760
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: points from him, I'm not going to be real thrilled

761
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: in the PPR league. Uh. And the matchup is not

762
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: great this week against Baltimore, but you know things will

763
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: get better. You've got Tampa Bay in week nine, and

764
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: then you've got in week eleven the Lions who can't

765
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: stop the run. And then when you look at the

766
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: schedule in weeks fourteen through sixteen, which is the fantasy playoffs.

767
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: You're at Cleveland, I think he can he can do

768
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: well there. Then New Orleans at home. New Orleans defense

769
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: has been tough against running backs, but McCaffrey is not

770
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: your average running back. And then you've got to land

771
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: in what could be a high scoring affair. Yeah. Man,

772
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's just been disappointing, I you know. And

773
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: he started off so hot, started well, and we thought, okay,

774
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: well this is it, this is how it works, right,

775
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: But no, um Cam Newton is crushing and they're not.

776
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: They're not using my my boy c J. Anderson at all,

777
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: I mean at all. Kaffrey is getting all the burn. Well.

778
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: I never started to see more Curtis Samuel working in

779
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: here too, which is complicating matters a whole lot more

780
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: um colts at the Raiders. Okay, So when I did

781
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: this rundown, it was last night before the news of

782
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: Marlon mc not practicing. So I I first I thought, well,

783
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: maybe this is the end of nineheam hines, But obviously

784
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: that's not the case anymore. Night he minds maybe still

785
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: be back in our lives if Marlon Mack doesn't play

786
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: this weekend against the Raiders. UM, I mean, I guess

787
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about it though. Are there any

788
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: running backs? I guess Hines is maybe a start, but

789
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: anybody else Jordan Wilkins, I mean, nobody else back there

790
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: that we were I can't play. I'd go Hines in PPR,

791
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: and Um, I'd be expecting a whole lot of passes

792
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: from Andrew Luck. Yeah, a whole lot of I think

793
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I think Andrew Luck. I think that's that's kind of

794
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: a thing. Anyway, Um on the Raiders side, all right,

795
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: let's let's can we just take a minute to reevaluate

796
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: the Raider offense, because, like we want, it's not it's

797
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: not very good, not very good. But Mary Cooper is

798
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Marshawn Lynch is on injured reserve, likely done

799
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: his This may be the last we see of Marshawn

800
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: Lynch in an NFL uniform, and this this could be

801
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: the end. Good change R I p um So okay,

802
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: So Doug Martin and Jalen Rochard are now you're running backs. Um,

803
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson now becomes your top wide receiver. Martavis Bryant,

804
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I guess work, Uh, Jared Cook is still there, who

805
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: I kind of like as a sleeper this week, that's

806
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: your guy. I mean, like, I mean, I know, unfortunately

807
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, because trusting Jared Cook is

808
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: just typically not a smart thing to do. But when

809
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, he's still up there amongst

810
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: the top tight ends when it comes to PPR points,

811
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to UH targets, and that has a

812
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: lot to do with the fact that the position is

813
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: just just a mess this season. But I mean, you know,

814
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna see maybe some more targets with Mary Cooper

815
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: now in Dallas and you know, the Colts. This defense

816
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,479
Speaker 1: is not one that's very formidable overall. Um So Cook

817
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: should he should be and he should be in a

818
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: spot where he could potentially be a top ten tight

819
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: end this week. You want to know how bad Titans are?

820
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Um O. J. Howard right is a situation where he's

821
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: had a bye week, he missed the game with Are

822
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: and he's still a top tenside in Yeah, it's insane.

823
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: It's the This is the worst the worst position in

824
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: UH that I can remember in any season in terms

825
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: of the depth and in terms of the number five.

826
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Rob Gronkowski who has you know, been banged

827
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: up and hasn't really had a great season. I mean,

828
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: he's still right there in your top ten. He missed

829
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: the game last week. You're looking right now at a

830
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: at a top five of Urt's and Kelsey. Okay, got it,

831
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: Eric EBRONO, what the heck? George Kittle, who I liked,

832
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: but I didn't think he's gonna be top five, and

833
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: then Jared Cook and then Trey Burton six and most

834
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: of his production came last week. So and then you've

835
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: got Austin Hooper and Joku. I think at the end

836
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: of the at the end of the season, you could

837
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: end up seeing if Gron can actually get out there

838
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: and perform, he'll move up into the top five, and

839
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: Joke is gonna move up into the top five. I

840
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: think Ebron is gonna end up moving down, especially with

841
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. It looks like he's getting closer to return.

842
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: Doyle could possibly come back this week, which particually blows

843
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: up Eric Ebron. You know what to I mean. Jimmy Graham. Yeah,

844
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: jim Graham's big disappointment. Although he did Here's like the

845
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: last couple of games he started to bounce back, had

846
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: a hundred a hundred yards against the Niners last week,

847
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: had seventy six weeks before that against the Lions, so

848
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: maybe he started to rebound it. Actually, know what's funny?

849
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: Could you look at it? Week two he had ninety

850
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: five yards against the Vikings. He said, two really rotten weeks,

851
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: really bad and he has only one touchdown. But he's

852
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: still just kind of hanging around, like you know, just

853
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: he's just outside the top ten. That's just been a

854
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: bad year. Should we step over to Packers and Rams then?

855
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: Now talking about Graham? Who I mean, it should be

856
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: a high scoring game, right, I mean it should be,

857
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: it should be right, and the Rams haven't done well

858
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: against tight ends. I mean they got they got clubbed

859
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: by Jared jed one by Jared Cook. Right, no doubts.

860
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: We put Jerry Cooking our lives back in our lives

861
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: in week one because he went off against the Rams

862
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: like so in fury. This should be a big game

863
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Graham. You would think so, you would think so.

864
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: And clearly he's a guy you're gonna start. And um,

865
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: you know Jared Goff, who remember he had that huge

866
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: game against Minnesota. If everyone including myself was thinking, you know,

867
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: this guy could end up being a QB one the

868
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: rest of the season, since then he hadn't hadn't been

869
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: that good. And it's not anything that Jared Goff is doing.

870
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: They don't need him. I mean when Todd Gurley scoring

871
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: three touchdowns there every game, you don't need your quarterback

872
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: too much of anything. But I do like him in

873
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: this game. And you know, Green Bay's defense has actually

874
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: been good air quotes good against quarterbacks if you look

875
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: at the fantasy points allowed, but that haven't really played

876
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: a lot of good quarterbacks. So I think golf is

877
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: a is a top ten player this week, despite the

878
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: fact that he wouldn't have Cooper Cup for another week.

879
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully Cooper is going to be back sooner rather than later.

880
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: He'll get him back. And I mean, this is one

881
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: of those games you could see going like forty eight.

882
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: Neither defense is going to be a big factor from

883
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: a fantasy standpoint, gonna be a lot of points. You know.

884
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: Jerono Willison is a guy that we've talked about this

885
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: week who we both like, who's a sort of off

886
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: the radar because out of sight, out of mind, but

887
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: he's expected to be back this week. And in a

888
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: game where it could be high scoring. I mean he

889
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: had double digit PPR points in every game before he

890
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: went down with the injury. So uh, Jeronimo Allison is

891
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: certainly someone who I'm glad to have back in our

892
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: fantasy lives because he had been productive. Yeah, you know,

893
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: he had been very productive. Um, it's kind of like

894
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we knew beyond the vante Adam was

895
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: what was going to happen, but now we've kind of

896
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: gotten an idea. Randall Cobb is supposed to be back

897
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: this week too, so uh and Rogers you know, had

898
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: an extra week to maybe rest that knee because he's

899
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: been banged up. So should be a should be a

900
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: fun game, Um Fortys at Cardinals. So it's it's where

901
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: he most here, Like he's a thing now, right, So

902
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: map rate it not in practice scame on Thursday, right,

903
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like I get it. You know what, You're

904
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: trying to go out there and play hurt and you

905
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: know it's very admirable, but at some point, I mean

906
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: you're not hoping anybody, right, especially you're eating up an

907
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: active roster spot on a Sunday and then you can't play.

908
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Um after are going out there for a few snaps.

909
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: Let most are come in and handle the load against

910
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: what is a bad Cardinals run defense. And we've seen

911
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: the Cardinals get gashed weekend week out all the time.

912
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: They can't stop the run. Moster can come in, He's

913
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: got plenty of upside. I have my top twenty running

914
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: backs this week in PPR, and I'm starting to any

915
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: where I was able to grab him off the waiver wire,

916
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: especially with these four teams on a buy. So most

917
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: are just probably the only Niner not named George Kittle

918
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: that I would start though this week, because you would

919
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: think that Marky's Goodwin is going to see a lot

920
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: of Patrick Peterson in this game. And other than that,

921
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot to like in San Francisco,

922
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: although I guess if you want to go to Stamper, yeah,

923
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Road and then really been that good.

924
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: So maybe the Niners and I like the Cardinals defense

925
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: to vice first. But yeah, I mean the Niners defense

926
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: could be decent as well. That's a that's a deep

927
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: sleeper for you. Yeah, no doubt. Um talked a little

928
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: bit about Byron Leftwich and and how he is going

929
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: to be the fantasy hero that we deserve. Um and

930
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: we talked about it mostly in terms of what it

931
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: means for David Johnson, But is there some hope that

932
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: maybe he just if if David Johnson gets going, does

933
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: that help the rest of this office? Does that help

934
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, doesn't even help Larry Fitzgerald a little bit.

935
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: If they can get David Johns, well, they also i

936
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: mean left which has already said as well, he wants

937
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: to get you know, Fitzgerald more involved in the offense.

938
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's only one of the greatest wide receivers

939
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League. As we'll

940
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: throw on the damn ball. He finally had a good

941
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: stat line, you know last week. I believe he had

942
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: fourteen PPR points. But if if they can establish the run,

943
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: if they can stay on the field, if they can

944
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: put David Johnson in a position to succeed, whether it's

945
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: as a runner or a receiver out of the backfield.

946
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about it when he had

947
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: that breakout. You're in sixteen. I mean, I believe he

948
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: ran well over six hundred routes that season, and you know,

949
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: this season, they're not giving him opportunities as a runner.

950
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: They're basically running him up the middle, which you got

951
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 1: a first little guy who could make plays in space,

952
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: who could catch the ball into the backfield. Let's just

953
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: run him right up the gut behind our very shaky

954
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: offensive line. Let's just do that. So hopefully Byron Left,

955
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: which is gonna be smarter than Mike McCoy is uh

956
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: the one. The one worry I have is that I

957
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 1: mean Left, which has never done this before. He's called

958
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: plays in a preseason game once in a limited fashion

959
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: for Bruce Arians, and that's a I do like that

960
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: Arians is big on him because Bruce Arians is an

961
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: offensive genius and uh I I've enjoyed many a fantasy

962
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: point from a player who played under Arians. And I

963
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: guess the one reason to be optimistic is that McCoy

964
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: is not calling the shots anymore, and Left, which has

965
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: got to be smarter than McCoy in terms of the fact,

966
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: Hey guys, you've got one of the best running backs

967
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Use him, give him the football,

968
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: use him and put Josh Rosen in a in a

969
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: situation where I'm not saying statistically he can succeed, but

970
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: don't put him in a position to fail. He's a

971
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback with very little experience, and he's not a

972
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna go out there and throw it for

973
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: three thirty and three touchdowns and win you games. You've

974
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: got to run the football, you've got to try and

975
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: play better defense. You've got to utilize David Johnson. You've

976
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: got to give Larry Fitzgerald the football nix and Christian

977
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: Kirk who has proven to be a pretty good playmaker.

978
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: And I think that's the that's the formula for this

979
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals team to start being more competitive, because the last

980
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: time we saw the Cardinals, I mean, it wasn't good.

981
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: It was bad. It was embarrassing. Good Um Saints ad

982
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: Vikings start them all. I asked this question, like only

983
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: there's maybe joking in here. When do we start worrying

984
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: about Taysom Hills snaking carries away from guy man? I mean,

985
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't look last night right his His carris have

986
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: actually gone up every He's gone from three to four

987
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: to five to six in the last month. I'm seeing

988
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: stories on Twitter about how he's like the brand new

989
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: toy for Sean in offense. Like what is going on?

990
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: Like at some point like this is becoming a problem now.

991
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: It is because any lost opportunities for either Ingram or

992
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: Kimara to get the football in their hands is bad

993
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: for fantasy football. It just is because these are two

994
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: of the most explosive running backs in the entire league.

995
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: They both finished in the top ten last season at

996
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: that position. And to give I mean, okay, yeah, a't

997
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: your little toy. It's fine. You know Sean Payton, how

998
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: he hates our fantasy teams. But at something. Listen to

999
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: the Saints. They figured the formula out last year, right,

1000
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 1: they have the blueprint. I mean there were one wacky

1001
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: play away from getting one step closer to the Super Bowl.

1002
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so why why, you know why sort of

1003
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: drift away from that? I mean, giving them the ball,

1004
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: Give camera the ball. This guy, Hey, you know what,

1005
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get out in the football field,

1006
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: let him play special teams. Okay, have a little fun

1007
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: with him out there. But I don't like the fact

1008
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: that A that a quarterbacks I is he like he's

1009
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: like a Tim t It's kind of like a bigger

1010
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow kind of guy, right, I mean, like when

1011
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: it comes to running the football, I mean that's that's

1012
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: not good for any of us in the world of fantasy.

1013
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: It's not good for any of us. It's just it's like, oh,

1014
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. I remember, and it makes me go

1015
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: back to a few years ago when it just seemed

1016
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: like the Saints didn't like mark Ingram for whatever reason,

1017
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: and they would find any reason to not give him

1018
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: the ball. Like, let's let's remember there was a few

1019
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: years ago they gave Kobe Fleaner a goal line carry,

1020
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: and I remember that mark Ingram. Remember that. Now we're

1021
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: out here Taysom Hill getting goal line carries and getting

1022
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: work in the red like, stop the insanity, man, Seriously,

1023
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: I was like, where has Stefan Diggs gone? That's a

1024
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: good question. Has not really been much in our lives later,

1025
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, like this is so Stefon Diggs.

1026
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Every season he starts out, I mean like gangbusters, and

1027
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: then he gets into the course of the season and

1028
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: the numbers kind of aren't there. They're they're more inconsistent,

1029
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: and I was hoping to see more consistency from this guy.

1030
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: When Kirk Cousins was the quarterback and they haven't really

1031
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: had a running game. I mean Latavius has done one

1032
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: of the last couple of weeks, but before that, I

1033
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: mean they haven't been able to run the ball at all.

1034
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: So I'm very surprised as to find Diggs. He had

1035
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: the Nelson Agilar stat line that you love last week,

1036
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: what was eight for thirty three, So like you know

1037
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: in p PR, he was still okay. But even I

1038
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: mean eleven points is not all that you drafted Stefind Diggs.

1039
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: You know what in the second third, fourth round, I

1040
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: mean fourth round at the most, and you're not getting

1041
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: the production that you were hoping from him. Hopefully this

1042
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: week things do turn around. Um, But Adam Feeling, I

1043
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: mean you remember in the preseason one of the biggest

1044
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: question marks which Vikings wide receiver d draft first? Adam

1045
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: Thealan has answered that question. I mean, the guys, the

1046
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: guy has done everything. I mean, he's on a ridiculous pace.

1047
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: He's had a hundred plush yards in every game this season.

1048
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: And Kirk Cousins clearly he's got a thing for him.

1049
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: He clearly has a thing for him. Now you know

1050
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: Digs the week the matchup is good, should be high

1051
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: scoring game. Clearly not benching him. Uh, the one player

1052
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: that I feel like it's going to have that big

1053
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: monster game this week is Kirk Cousins. And if you

1054
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: look at Kirk Cousins and his stats over the last

1055
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: four or five games haven't been that good. No, it's

1056
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: not like one really good game. Everything else has been

1057
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: like under eighteen. And again we talked about, you know,

1058
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: eighteen is kind of like that's where you want to

1059
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: be in terms of the floor for a good performance

1060
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 1: from a quarterback. But this week I see him getting

1061
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: well over twenty fantasy points and what should be a

1062
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: high scoring affair. All right, well, then I may have

1063
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: to adjust my lineup. And I always had every week.

1064
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: I have both Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins, So I

1065
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: have this I haveloed so I have Yeah, but I

1066
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: have I have Cousins ahead of them. I mean, Cousins

1067
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: has been better than golf for for most of the season.

1068
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: Two again, golf has kind of struggled the last few weeks.

1069
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: It's just like it's my weekly like it's like my

1070
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: weekly struggle. Do I start Cousins, Do I start golf?

1071
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: Because I have, like you know, I've got like Todd Gurley,

1072
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: I had Cooper Cup until recently trained him like, but

1073
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: also have Adam Feelin. So it's like either way, I've

1074
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: got a stack. It's it's it's a yeah, man, you

1075
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: got feeling and you've got Davante and league. Just I

1076
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: think the last time you want our league, didn't you

1077
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: have Rogers and Vante Adams. So yeah, maybe new strategy

1078
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: just dropped. All the time struggling in that league. I

1079
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: think I've had like the second most points scored against me.

1080
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: That's so frustrating and so frustrating. So now I'm just

1081
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: trying to score points so i can get into that

1082
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: sixth seed. Oh man, uh finally, Patriots at Bills on

1083
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: Monday nights? Do you trust trust Josh Gordon this week?

1084
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: Is Gronkowski back? I mean, like, if Gronkowski is out,

1085
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, right, so then I would trust Gordon a

1086
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: little bit more because obviously, uh, you know, the target

1087
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: share isn't split up by one more person. But if

1088
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: Gronkowski is back, he's at three flex and that's that's

1089
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: what he is. He had a very good game last week,

1090
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: very solid outing with Gronkowski on the sidelines. Um, but

1091
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots have so many miles to feed

1092
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: in that offense. I mean, Julian Edelman is is their

1093
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: best wide receiver from a fantasy standpoint, no question, you

1094
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: know you got Gronkowski there. James White is what you

1095
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: want to talk about a draft bargain. Goodness, gracious that

1096
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: guy was He wasn't a top eight pick, wasn't. I mean,

1097
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: no one. It was Rex Burkhead that everyone was on

1098
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: and and James White has just been solid. Um, So

1099
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,240
Speaker 1: I would say three flex. And the thing with Gordon

1100
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: is that like he's got I mean, his floor is

1101
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of low, but like if he ever goes off,

1102
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he can give you a twenty uh and

1103
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: he can give you fifteen of it on one play

1104
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: because he's so good. Did you start any Bills? So

1105
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: if McCoy is active, I still don't like him, right,

1106
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: we talked about it. Um. If Ivory is active and

1107
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: McCoy is out, I would flex Ivory, but I don't

1108
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: love it game script. I mean, the Patriots are gonna

1109
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: blow the doors off this team. You would think at

1110
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: least this is not going to be another Minnesota situation

1111
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: where the Bills go in and and actually destroy the

1112
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: VIC I mean they're the Patriots are gonna kill this team, right,

1113
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: you would you would think you would think so. Um,

1114
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: probably not, man. I mean, it's it's an all Patriot

1115
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: fantasy night. It's an all Patriots defense Gostkowski, Gronkowski, Gordon, Edelman,

1116
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: White Brady. It's an all Patriots night in Uh, you

1117
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: know what, I want to actually talk to Michael Colbal

1118
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: and see if we can actually get this, um Michael's

1119
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: kicks butt doing a doing the work of of a

1120
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: yeoman with a with a product here at NFL dot

1121
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: com and find out what percentage of bills are actually

1122
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: active in that game, because it's gotta be it's gotta

1123
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: be super low. I mean, I would think, you know,

1124
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: Leshawn McCoy, if he's active right right when he plays,

1125
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: he's one. Maybe some Kelvin Benjamin. Those they're the people

1126
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: who aren't paying attention anymore. Maybe some Calvin Benjamin. Maybe

1127
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: you've got a few Chris Ivory's in there. That's good.

1128
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean that I gotta ask him about that. I

1129
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: just can't imagine there's a whole lot of you know,

1130
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: like nobody's starting Josh Allen even when he was he

1131
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: was healthy. Nobody was starting Za Jones. It could be

1132
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: like the lowest percentage. I did start Charles Clay in

1133
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: the league last week and that did not work out.

1134
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: Now it could be like the lowest percentage in the

1135
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: last like five or ten years of a team having

1136
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: their players started in fantasy football leagues because they have nothing.

1137
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: And even McCoy hasn't been that great. It's been yeah.

1138
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: And did they make the playoffs last season? How the

1139
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: hell did the Bills make the playoffs last season? They

1140
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: did that? Well, they did because you know, Tyler Boyd.

1141
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: That's how they made the play Tyler boy Andy Dalton

1142
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: and Tyler Boyd is how the Bills made the playoffs.

1143
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: There you go. That's our Week eight previews. So I

1144
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 1: set your lineups. By the way, reminder again that London

1145
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: game again, it's an early ones a nine thirty kickoff

1146
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: start in the East Coast, six thirty am on the

1147
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: West coast. Get up, make sure you know setting alarm

1148
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: or something, just so you don't get Melvin Gordon, like

1149
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people did last week who

1150
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: woke up late and that turned on the game only

1151
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: to find out Melvin Gordon was inactive and get stuck.

1152
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we have any of those sort of.

1153
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything like that, this like the

1154
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: whole Carlos Hyde thing, like we're not sure, like you know,

1155
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: what's going on in terms of whether or not he

1156
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 1: but as a starter or not. I mean, I'd probably

1157
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: still be leaning towards yelled in and on the eagle side. No. Yeah,

1158
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any any real injuries. I think

1159
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: you should be safe setting your lineup. But just in

1160
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: case you're, you know, waffling on somebody I'm not sure,

1161
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: you know, sitting a warm whatever, get up and uh

1162
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: and figure it out. All right, it is time for

1163
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts of the week. It's Eddie's

1164
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: delirious pick buddy. All right, guys, you brought him up before.

1165
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the quarterbacks this week for my delirious pick,

1166
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: uh Andy Dalton playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is

1167
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: a two part I guess reason as to why I'm

1168
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: going with him. Um, so I'm picking him to be

1169
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: the top point getter for quarterbacks one number one overall. Um,

1170
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: he's been okay this year area two games north of

1171
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: thirty points if I remember correctly. But they're playing the

1172
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: Buccaneers the first part of this is just like the

1173
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,720
Speaker 1: box might be if you ask me, like, what team

1174
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: do you want to watch? The least bus just like

1175
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: they just it's a mess going on both sides of

1176
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: the ball. I could see him tearing the defense up.

1177
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: They have not been great and it's because also I

1178
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: think the NFL just like a league of averages, almost

1179
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: like everything finds its level. So everyone expected last week

1180
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: Dalton have a great game versus the Chiefs. He didn't. Uh,

1181
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: comes back this week strong, I think, with a really

1182
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: good performance versus the lowly Buccaneers. And there's a couple

1183
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: of their matchups, two with quarterbacks I don't particularly love.

1184
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: I know Brady has an easy one, but I could

1185
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: see Brady just you know, the Patriots running the ball

1186
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: when they're crushing the Bills, um right the second half, Yeah,

1187
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: something like that are gonna be tough. I don't think.

1188
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Rogers have the easiest time versus the Rams,

1189
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes versus Denver. They you know, they gave him some trouble. Uh,

1190
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: They they've been giving quarterbacks trouble. So I could see

1191
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: Dalton having just a really, really really good game this week.

1192
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: That's that. So you know we do a hot take

1193
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: hot Take takedown segment every week on on Fantasy Live,

1194
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: and I didn't do it, but I did give some

1195
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: long thought to making Andy Dalton the QB one this

1196
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: week in my hot take takedown. So UM, I'm on board.

1197
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: I like that. I think that's cool. Um. Alright, so

1198
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: before you get out of here, we have some mailbag

1199

1204
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: start out of? Kenyan Drake, Nick Chubb and Jordan Howard's

1205
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: full point PPR. Please help, I'd say Drake and Chubb. Yeah,

1206
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: and I don't like either matchup. I don't like any

1207
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: all three of those. All three of the matchups are yeah.

1208
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd agree with Marcus, but I don't like

1209
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,479
Speaker 1: the matchup. Yeah, I'm sure how you will love you guy. Sorry,

1210
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: but hey, we didn't pay. It's not a great choice

1211
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: that we have. At Horsepower four, should I start Lettavius

1212
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,959
Speaker 1: Murray this week against New Orleans or roll of dice

1213
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: with either Buck Alan, Aaron Jones, or Mike Davis. Now,

1214
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: I probably God would be my number two children, right right.

1215
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: Mike Davis is interesting, but I go Littavius. We have

1216
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: at legendary j Who would you start yelled in or

1217
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: Doug Martin? Yess, I'd go yelled in. I mean, I'm

1218
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: expecting him to see more of the workload than Carlos side.

1219
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be a split

1220
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: or not, but um, the alternative I see like and

1221
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, Doug Martin came out today

1222
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, they're still gas on the tank,

1223
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: whatever the case maybes, Like, yeah, it looks great. We're

1224
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna run in guy's average and what like three yards

1225
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: of carry in the last two or three seasons. I mean,

1226
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: show it and then we'll back you up. The stats

1227
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: don't back up with Martin saying so, I mean, I

1228
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: think Jalen Rochard this week is probably gonna score more

1229
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: points in PPR leagues than Doug Martin. I could be wrong.

1230
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I will say this. Gruden brought him in for a reason, Like,

1231
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't need him. He didn't need him, right,

1232
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: So he's got to have something in Gordon, you know,

1233
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: he's like but I mean, like Martin should be owned

1234
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: in all leagues. But I don't know if I'm playing

1235
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: him this week. It's a good matchup too. I think

1236
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: it's a Jalen Richard Jay Little Shard game just because

1237
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders will probably fall behind and have to throw

1238
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: the football. But how the Raiders have operated all year

1239
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: loss Yeah, I think I've noticed a lot of these tweets,

1240
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of running backs concerns due

1241
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: to the bye weeks and stuff. So right around with

1242
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: the last one, here is another bye week injury conundrum

1243
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: from at thoughtful pause half PPR League running back to

1244
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake or Kenyan Barner. Drake Kenyan Barner to me

1245
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: is like he's kind of I don't know, right, I

1246
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: don't know how many touches he's gonna get and it's

1247
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be enough. The the only the only

1248
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: way that that Barner has a big game, and this

1249
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: is possible, but this is going deep. Game script is

1250
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: if the Patriots are blowing the doors off the Bills,

1251
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: they decided to sit James White in the fourth quarter

1252
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: and Barnard gets a whole bunch of garbage time. Yeah.

1253
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I've talked to uh a friendoman who I'm playing with

1254
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: the first place plattle and in our league and let

1255
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: the people care about my fantasy team. But I said

1256
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: this to Belichick has that thing that he does sometimes

1257
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, James White's working every single week,

1258
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: let me just to not use it anymore because teams

1259
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: are now game planning against him. Like, not that it

1260
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: will happen, but that would be a very Belichick thing

1261
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: to do, to all of a sudden swap out White

1262
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: with whoever else and just used some for the rest

1263
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: of the season. Look, I mean along those lines, you're

1264
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: talking to a proud recipient of the Jonas Gray game,

1265
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: like I just struggling Gray, I needed to running back.

1266
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Last minute, I snatched Jonas Gray up off the waiver wire,

1267
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: plugged him in and got his four touchdowns. I have

1268
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: a friend who was still to this day salty about

1269
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: did you play the Colts? Was it? Yeah? It was

1270
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: the Cults, right, And then the very next week he

1271
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: he overslept in his practice and that's the last week

1272
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: of Jonas That was that's a great was it? So

1273
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: that was a great pull. By the way, did you

1274
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: see you said you saw Venom? Was it good? It

1275
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: was fine? It was fine, I thought. I thought at

1276
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: times it was kind of corny, but like, okay, it

1277
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't terrible, like a lot of the critics said,

1278
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: it's fine. Yeah, it was just okay. So it's not

1279
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: a movie that I can talk to my girlfriend into

1280
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: going because it was good, I'd say, I'd say, well,

1281
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm biased. I love Tom Hardy, but it was I

1282
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: think he's awesome, And at times it was very depressing

1283
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: in like a way that I enjoy because they want

1284
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: to make it more of a dark character and I'm like,

1285
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I like the direction of this movie. And then too,

1286
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I agree with Marcus it got a little bit corny

1287
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: at some moments, and I was like, oh, you guys

1288
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: really had a chance to do something really cool and

1289
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: the kind of the dark night mold and then they

1290
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: kind of pulled a rug from out underneath you and

1291
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, it's fine now. But I mean the

1292
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: humor works, like Hardy's great in it, um, but I

1293
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: wish it was a little more closer to like a

1294
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: rated R like scarier, darker venom than what the product

1295
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: that week. I wanted to be more, you know yeah,

1296
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: like Dark Knight. It would have been would have been cool.

1297
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: I finished The Haunting of Hill House. Oh my god,

1298
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: it's so good. It's so good. Even if you don't

1299
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: like horror, watch it. It's so good interesting. So I'm sorry.

1300
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I gotta get my hotter on my list. I still

1301
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen Halloween yet. I have a back to see

1302
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: it this weekend. A backlog of things on Netflix, dude. Yeah,
