1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: The most valuable commandity I know of is information. Would

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: you agree? Great? Five five dollars? This is a retenar

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: let happy table. You're saying that humans need fantasy to

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: make life bearable. Humans need fantasy to be human. My goodness,

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: I suppose bets relentless refusing to give up. All right,

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: hit that horn verbless there.

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to the Fantasy Flex Podcast presented by

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: Prize Picks.

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Samantha Purvidi.

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: Every Thursday here on this podcast, I will be answering

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: your mail bag questions, but you can submit for future

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: shows to mailbag at actionnetwork dot com. It will also

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: be featured in written piece that you can find on

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: Action network dot com.

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: All right, let us just jump right into it.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: Aaron Wrights, are you bull or bear on Ezekiel Elliott

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: rest of season? And then he asks Elliott or Mike

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: Sicky for George Kittle and Josh Jacobs. I have Dalvin Cook,

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt, Tyson Williams at RB keep your tips.

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Up, cute little ski reference.

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: So personally I am bullish on Elliott rest of season.

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: So yes, Elliott.

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: Definitely put a lot of fantasy managers in a hole

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: after a Thursday night dud on national television. It was

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: eleven carries for thirty three yards, caught two passes for

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: six yards, but are not to finish his RB forty

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: four with four point nine fantasy points.

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Hate to see it.

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: Definitely not the performance that managers were hoping for, but

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: I think it should have been at least somewhat expected,

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Like you probably couldn't sit Elliott.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: If he was on your roster, but it also was opposite.

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: The Buccaneers shut down front seven, so I don't think

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: it's not that surprising. Also worth noting that stat lines

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: really just don't tell the whole story. Elliott was deployed

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: in a blocking role al to protect quarterback Dak Prescott,

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: who's returning from a major injury, to protect him from

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: this Bucks front seven. I think that his role will

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: shift as the season progresses. In terms of the trade,

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: I am not exactly sure what side of the trade

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: you are on, but in a vacuum, it's actually pretty even,

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: So it's going to come down to your roster needs.

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: The difference between Kastiki to Kittle is significant, but so

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: is Elliott to Jacobs. So I think since you already

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: have a top tier RB one in your roster.

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: In Dalvin Cook, I would lean the Kittle side.

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: I am bullish on Elliott rest of season, like I said,

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: but I think you have enough running back depth and

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: Kittle is going to be a monster this year if

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: he can stay healthy.

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: He's the only forty nine er that I want on

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: my team.

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: All right, Next up, we've got Julie, She writes, who

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: is the guy to roster between Jamal Williams and DeAndre

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Swift or both? So Julie, friends, don't let friends think

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: Williams is better than Swift, even dealing with injuries. Swift

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: saw eleven carries for thirty nine yards and caught a

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: of eleven passes for sixty five yards and a touchdown.

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: The Lions meaned heavily on the run game, and Williams

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: son nine carries for fifty four yards at a touchdown

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: and caught eight of nine passes for fifty six yards.

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: He finished as RB four.

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: So Swift is the main guy in this offense, though,

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: and I fully expect Williams to have role moving forward, but.

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: I think he's going to take a back seat once

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Swift is fully healthy. I think both are actually valuable

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: to have on your roster, Like I have no problem

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: having both being Hunt.

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: And Nick Chubb, but if you have to choose one,

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: it's Swift for me. So if you actually have both,

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: I think you could shop one if you really want to.

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: But I think Williams will definitely have flex appeal while

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift should have you know, high end RB two,

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: possibly low end RB one value moving forward, Fletcher Wrights,

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: are we panicking on Mike Davis yet? So? Fletcher, there

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: is simply no other way of putting this. The Falcons

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: offense was just mega cringe last week. The team was

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: molly wopped by the Eagles, who were actually dogs in

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: this game and were held to just six points. They

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: couldn't seem to get anything going on the ground or

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: through the year. Matt Ryan was held to one hundred

82
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: and sixty four yards and zero touchdowns, which is very

83
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: not Matt Ryan like. It's pretty surprising given they were

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: trailing for most of the game, because I would think

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: you'd see Matt Ryan kind of throwing it a lot.

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: But it just seems like this offense didn't have anything

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: going right. Davis posted fifteen carries for forty nine yards.

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: That's three point twenty seven yards per carry, so definitely

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: not great, and caught three or six passes for twenty

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: three yards. It's not the worst showing, but it's not ideal. Meanwhile,

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: Cordero Patterson was more effective than Davis and posted seven

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: carries for fifty four yards and caught both of his

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: targets for thirteen yards. I liked Davis a lot in drafts,

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: just because he was falling super far to me, So

95
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: like you got to think about also, like what you

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: ended up using in terms of draft capito on him,

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: Like if you ended up getting him in the seventh

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: round or something like that. I don't think you're that concerned.

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: I did not expect him to be RB twelve or

100
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: whenever he finishes last year. I think if you went

101
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: into the draft with reasonable expectations, you're not freaking out.

102
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: I remained fairly bullish on him based on the situation alone,

103
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: so I am not ready to hit the panic button

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: just yet. I would, however, fade him this week against

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers on the road. So Mike writes, will Melvin

106
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: Gordon be able to hold off Javonte Williams after his

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: big first game? So Mike, I think this depends on

108
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: what you mean by hold off Gordon.

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: He obviously stole.

110
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: A show on the ground for the Broncos on Sunday,

111
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: doing large part to a seventy yard touchdown. Williams actually

112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: saw more touches though in his rookie debut and posted

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: fourteen carries to Gordon's eleven.

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: He rushed for forty five yards and caught one target.

115
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: For minus four yards, good enough for four point six

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: fantasy points.

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Definitely disappointing given.

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: Many managers drafted Williams multiple spots ahead of Gordon, but honestly,

119
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: this was the team's plan all along. Broncos insider Benjamin Albright,

120
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: We've talked about this a bunch on KOA. He expected

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 2: a sixty forty workload split, with Gordon getting the sixty

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: side of that, so I don't think that's super surprising

123
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: and also like super encouraging that Williams dacy as much

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: work as he did, so I think obviously.

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Williams is the long term play.

126
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: Gordon is in the second year of a two year

127
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: contract he signed last year, so I think, you know,

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: Gordon's definitely going to start out as the feature guy.

129
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: But It's like I said, sixty to forty, so I

130
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: think both of them are super valuable moving forward.

131
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Terry, Right, with the loss of Raheem moster for.

132
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: The year, how is the San Francisco backfield going to

133
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: pan out? And do we trust Elijah Mitchell or will

134
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: Trace Sermon get a shot? So, Terry, good question. Let

135
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: us consult the UIJI board. But in all seriousness, I

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: would temper expectations for Mitchell or any forty nine ers

137
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: running back since it's going to be a weekly dice roll,

138
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: honestly trying to interpret Kyle Shanahan's smoke screens into lineup decisions.

139
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: So Mitchell was the most popular waiver ad in all

140
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: of fantasy football. He was probably your league's most sought

141
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: after waiver ad after last week shanahanigans in the news

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: that will miss the rest of the year with surgery.

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell recorded nineteen carries for one hundred and four yards

144
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: in a touchdown, and then Jimichael Hasty rushed once for

145
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: three yards and caught a pass for fifteen yards. The

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: team did also add former Ryan's running back carry On

147
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: Johnson after a short stint with the Eagles. In light

148
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: of the most injury, So this backfield is definitely getting

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: a little crowded.

150
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Worth noting people are really quick to put trace.

151
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: Sermon on the ice floe because you got benched in

152
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: the first game. I am not necessarily reading too too

153
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: much into that.

154
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm dropping sermon.

155
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: I think he's eventually going to play a role in

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: this offense, possibly as early as next week.

157
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Like Kyle Shanahan. Is that unpredictable?

158
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: So, and this backfield is super crowded, so TLDR, I

159
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: don't trust any forty nine ers running back with moster

160
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: out for the year. Neither should you. I have no

161
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: idea how this whole situation is going to pan out.

162
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: It's probably just going to be a very annoying platoon.

163
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: And if you hit on it, great, and if you don't,

164
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: you don't.

165
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: That is it?

166
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: Phil Right, Can Taylor Heinikey be a real NFL quarterback?

167
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Or is the stock way down on Terry McLaurin. So,

168
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the Ryan Fitzpatrick injury probably hurts McLaurin

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: the most, followed by Curtis Samuel once he gets healthy

170
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: and looking at the game log, you know, of the

171
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: other guys, it seems like Heinekey actually targeted Logan Thomas

172
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: three times, so I think his value kind of remains neutral.

173
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: We've seen that with tight ends they tend to be

174
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: a little bit more immune.

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: To or quarterback play.

176
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to assume that Taylor Heinecke is going

177
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: to be a bad quarterback or anything, but there obviously

178
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: is a reason that he wasn't the starter running back

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: to Antonio Gibson and Jade because it could seem more

180
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: work on the ground and short yardage situations. I think

181
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: they will a little bit more past conservative with Heinecke

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 2: under center. Now, all that said, we have seen McLaurin

183
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: perform with bad quarterback play for almost his entire career.

184
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,479
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen he caught passes from case Keenum Dueene Haskins,

185
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 2: and Colt McCoy, and in twenty twenty he caught passes

186
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: from Alex Smith, Queen Haskins, Kyle Allen, and Taylor Heineke.

187
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: So that's not an impressive cast.

188
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that Heinike is even in that much

189
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: of a downgrade from the guys that he was catching

190
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: passes from over the last two years.

191
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: And this is what he said of the issue.

192
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: If you want to be a top guy, you've got

193
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: to go out there and make play, doesn't matter if

194
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: it's the fourth string QB. He said that to JP

195
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: Finley of NBC Sports Washington. So, I think mclaurin's ceiling

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: takes a little bit of a hit, but I think

197
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: he's still a very serviceable high end wide receiver too,

198
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: at least while Fitzpatrick is out. So I'm still starting

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: him in most situations, including this week against the Giants.

200
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: Right start one Jalen Wattle, T Higgins, Brandon Cooks or

201
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: Marvin Jones full PPR. So of those four dale it's

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: going to be between Higgins and Cooks for me. Higgins

203
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: has a slightly tougher matchup on the road against the

204
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: Bears versus Cooks, who is on the road against the Browns.

205
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: Higgins has more competition for targets too, from rookie Jamar

206
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Chase who ended up looking excellent despite all the preseason chatter,

207
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: and Tyler Boyd you know, versus Cooks, who is competing

208
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: against guys named Baroh Brown, Danny Ammondola, and Conley. However,

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: there is a stratospheric separation between the upside in the

210
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: Bengals office versus offense versus the Texans offense. The Taxans

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: did show like credit where credit is due. They did

212
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: show that they're not just going to be an automatic

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: by for opposing teams.

214
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: Obviously, they won in.

215
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: A surprising upset against the Jaguars, but in my opinion,

216
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: there's really no comparing Tyrod Taylor to Joe Burrow. I

217
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: expect the Texans to also lean much more on that

218
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: crowded backfield and the Bengals to be very pass heavy

219
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: this year. So I am starting Higgins, and for what

220
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: it is worth, I would rank them as follows. For

221
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: full PPR, it would go Higgins, then Cooks, then a

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: pretty big jump than Wattle, then Jones. Next up here

223
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: on the Fantasy Flex is a new segment we're calling

224
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: Elite Entries where we will dive into the prize picks

225
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: app to build some entries. And my like is Antonio

226
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: Gibson over sixty eight and a half rushing yards.

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: So Gibson was featured super.

228
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: Heavily in Washington's close loss to the Chargers, with Ryan

229
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick being knocked out of the game early. He saw

230
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: twenty attempts for ninety yards caught three of five passes.

231
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: For eighteen yards.

232
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: I think the football team is going to be even

233
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: more bullish on the ground with Taylor Heineke taking over

234
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: for Fitzpatrick, who is on IR now with the hip injury,

235
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: and the Giants are pretty pedestrian against the run.

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon has had a one hundred yard game last week,

237
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: so give me Gibson to smash the over sixty eight

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: and a half rushing yards.

239
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: The next one I like is Terry McLaurin over sixty

240
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: five and a half receiving yards. So people are definitely

241
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: going to be fading McLaurin with a switch to Heinike.

242
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: But let's not pretend that he hasn't performed with subpar

243
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: QB play in the past. I've already told you guys

244
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: about the interesting laundry list of quarterbacks that he's played against.

245
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: It's really been his entire career.

246
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: Last week, he caught all four of his passes for

247
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: sixty two yards. One of them was an absolutely insane pass.

248
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think that the Chargers secondary is also

249
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: going to be stronger than the Giants, So give me

250
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin.

251
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: To go over sixty five and a half for seeding yards.

252
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: The last one I like is Sterling.

253
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: Shepherd under fifty seven and a half receiving yards. So

254
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Shephard is actually a cell high for me at this point. Yes,

255
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: he looked good in the Giants lost to the Broncos

256
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: last week. He saw two more targets than anyone else

257
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: on the team, caught seven to nine passes for one

258
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen yards in a touchdown. But he is

259
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: facing a tougher Washington secondarya and passed rush that recorded

260
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: the fifth most sacks per game in twenty twenty. I

261
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: think that's going to be tough for Daniel Jones. I

262
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: think this offensive line is still pretty untested, not great.

263
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: We're going to see him all the run a lot.

264
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: I also expect Kenny Galladay to see increasingly more targets

265
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: as time goes on, while Galladay adjusts to the new

266
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: offense that change it quarterback and recovers from his hamstring injury.

267
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: So this is an easy under for me. It kind

268
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: of feels like people are just a little.

269
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: Bit reacting to one really good game from him, and

270
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: I just don't know that I'm there yet for Shepherd,

271
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: all right, So that is our elite entry for Thursday

272
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: Night Football Antonio Gibson over sixty eight and a half

273
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: rushing yards, Terry McLaurin over sixty five and a half

274
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: receiving yards and Sterling Shepard under fifty seven and a

275
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: half receiving yards. As a reminder, you can mix and

Speaker 2: All right, let us keep it moving here on our

287
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: mailbag episode. All right, next question is Joel Wright Week two.

288
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: I need one wide receiver Robbie Anderson, Mike Williams or

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: Courtland saw In. So Joel, I feel like it is

290
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: a toss up between those three, Like those are really

291
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: really close for me. You didn't specify format, but I

292
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: think that they're all kind of really close.

293
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to go with Sutton with the

294
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: slight edge just due to the matchup.

295
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: So Sutton had the worst week one of those three,

296
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: so I understand the inversion.

297
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: He's also coming off on injury.

298
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: He caught one of three passes for fourteen yards and

299
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: clearly lacked chemistry with new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater that Jerry

300
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: Judy did have with him.

301
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: So that said, Jerry Judy is out for four days,

302
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: eight weeks with this high ankle spring. Really don't know

303
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: when he's coming back.

304
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: That high uncle spring is what is keeping Michael Thomas

305
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: sidelined at this point.

306
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's.

307
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: Going to mean that the other pass catchers are going

308
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: to have to step up. This in theory should result

309
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: in more targets for Sutton as well as Noah Fans,

310
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: kJ Hamler and Tim Patrick. I think the Broncos intended

311
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: to ease Sutton in who is returning. Like I said

312
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: from a tour in ACL he is on the road

313
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: this week against a Jaguars defense which allowed a Tyrod

314
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: Taylor led Texans team to throw all over the place.

315
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Say that ten times fast. It should be a great

316
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: bounce back spot.

317
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: For Sutton, who now has a clear path to be

318
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: the team's wide receiver one once again. Anderson has the

319
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: toughest matchup of the trio against the Saints at home.

320
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a recency bites, but like

321
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: New Orleans just held the Packers, who were one of

322
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: the most fearsome offenses last year, to just three points.

323
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: Devonte Adams was held to just five catches for fifty

324
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: six yards in the effort. Aaron Rodgers was intercepted twice

325
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: by Marcus Williams and cornerback Paulson Adebo.

326
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Wilson's Week one was salvaged.

327
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: By one catch, which was a fifty seven yard touchdown,

328
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: so he definitely didn't kill you. That was on three targets,

329
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: but he clearly took a back seat to DJ Moore

330
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: and rookie Terrace Marshall from a target standpoint, so I

331
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: think he's definitely going to be the second or maybe

332
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: third guy in this offense.

333
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: So I don't like that. Plus, the matchup.

334
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: Williams is definitely interesting. He had the best Week one

335
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: of the group. He caught eight of twelve targets for

336
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: eighty two yards in the touchdown and faces a very

337
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: permeable Dallas secondary.

338
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: This week.

339
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: The Chargers offense is also more pass heavy of the three.

340
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: The most pass heavy of the three, I should say,

341
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: which should mean more opportunities. But Wilson is still the

342
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: clear number two behind Keenan Allen, while Sutton is probably

343
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: the team's wide receiver one now that Judy is out,

344
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: so it's extremely close, but Sutton gets the edge.

345
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: I would ranked these three as follows for week two.

346
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: It goes Sutton, then Williams very close, and then Anderson.

347
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: A few spots below Andrew right.

348
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: So what is your season long outlook on Corey Davis?

349
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: I drafted him in multiple leagues because I liked the value.

350
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: Can he be a high end wide receiver?

351
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Three?

352
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: Did week one just confirm my priors because I was bullish?

353
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate any insight on him. Yeah.

354
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: Andrew Davis looked super sharp in his debut for Dange Green.

355
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: He reeled in five catches on seven targets for ninety

356
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: seven yards and two touchdowns.

357
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely phenomenal.

358
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: Was clearly this was all from rookie Zach Wilson. He

359
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: was clearly the top target for Wilson. He scored twenty

360
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: four point two Fantasy points in half PPR finished as

361
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: wide receiver five. That said, I do expect Davis to

362
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: come back.

363
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Down to earth over the next two weeks.

364
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: The Jets have a brutal Week two matchup against the Patriots,

365
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: whose coach Bill Belichick is just notoriously adept shutting down

366
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: rookie quarterbacks. They then face the Broncos on the road

367
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: in Week three. Season long, though, I do expect him

368
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: to be in that high end wide receiver three range.

369
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: I think you got a great value in him because

370
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: people were.

371
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: Just so down on the Jets offense. So congrats and

372
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: congrats on probably winning your Week one matchup at ninety

373
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: space dad right, flex help full PPR league, Miles Sanders,

374
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: Robbie Anderson or Sterling Shepard all right, So of those three,

375
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: it's got to be Sanders for me. I get the

376
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: temptation to lean receiver in your flex SPA, especially in

377
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: PPR format, but Sanders gives you a pretty guaranteed floor

378
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: over the two. He was the feature back against Atlanta

379
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: in Week one. He saw nineteen touches to Kenny Gainwel's eleven.

380
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: The team is going to use both backs, but I

381
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: think Sanders is going to be the main guy right now.

382
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: It is the Eagles home opener against the forty nine Ers,

383
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 2: who are coming from the West Coast on a one

384
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: o'clock game. They looked very permeable against the run again

385
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: the lowly Lions last week. Jamal Williams and DeAndre Swift's.

386
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: Had good games.

387
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: I think he is the best matchup of the trio,

388
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: and I like him in terms of upside. This week,

389
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 2: So Anderson, we kind of just talked about it was

390
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: his Week one was totally saved by that fifty seven

391
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 2: yard touchdown. Clearly not Sam Darnold's top option, which is

392
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: honestly a little bit surprising. I thought he would lean

393
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: on Anderson a little bit more, just because they did

394
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: play together before. But Anderson's faces the Saints at home

395
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: this week, whose defense looked super stout held the Packers

396
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: to a field goal. So I think that's definitely a

397
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: tough matchup. And then Shepard definitely the lone bright spot

398
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: in the Giants lost. We talked about him. He saw

399
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 2: two targets more than anyone on the team, caught one

400
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen yards in a touchdown. Kenny Galladay caught

401
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: four of six passes for sixty four yards, and Darius

402
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Slayton caught three of seven passes for sixty five yards.

403
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: I expect Galladay to be heavily targeted once he fully

404
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: recovers from this preseason hamstring injury. Like they didn't go

405
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 2: out there and spend all their money during free agency

406
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: to have a guy sit on their bench and you know,

407
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 2: play number two to Sterling Shepherd. So I think this

408
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: is going to hurt Sterling Shepherd's target share. The Giants

409
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 2: also face Washington this week, whose secondary and pass rush

410
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: are going to be a problem for Daniel Jones. So

411
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: I am going Sanders and I would rank these three

412
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: for week two as follows Sanders, Ben Anderson, Ben Shepherd

413
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: at Sauchi is God, writes Antonio Brown or Elijah Mitchell.

414
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: So again with the forty.

415
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: Nine ers backfield, Mitchell has Shanahan's favor for now, which

416
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: probably means Jamichael Hasey is going to go off this

417
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: week or Tree Sermon is going to go.

418
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: Off this week.

419
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: You know, in all seriousness, I'm going to temper expectations

420
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: for Mitchell or any forty nine Ers running back.

421
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: It's almost like we don't learn, including myself, like, we.

422
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: Just don't learn that Kyle Shanahan cannot be trusted for

423
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: fantasy no One except for which Kittle can be trusted.

424
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: But you know, it's going to be very difficult to

425
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: interpret his smoke screens every week. Sermon's eventually going to

426
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: play a role, possibly as early as this week. So

427
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: I think it's just really really tough to trust anyone,

428
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: including Mitchell. He has a significantly tougher matchup than Brown

429
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: does on the road against the Eagles, who just boxed

430
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: up Mike Davis last week. Davis looked pretty bad against them,

431
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: so could be possibly a little bit Mike Davis, but

432
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't know with that platoon. I'm just not super

433
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: super excited to start Mitchell. Whereas Antonio Brown completely stole

434
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: the show in the NFL opener against the Cowboys. He

435
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: looked like vintage Antonio Brown. He was the Buccaneer's top

436
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: receiver and caught five of seven targets for one hundred

437
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: and twenty yards and a touchdown. Tampa's offense was just

438
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: firing on all cylinders in Week one, and they get

439
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: another cupcake matchup this week.

440
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: At home against the Falcons.

441
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: Bottom of the barrel pass defense that just made Jalen

442
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: Hurts look like Hayton Manning.

443
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: So it is a brown by a landslide for me.

444
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: Maxwell writes, would you rather start Deebo Samuel or Mike

445
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: Davis twelve person PPR? Thank you, Maxwell, I am going

446
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: with Samuel, even though I'm just kind of bashed the

447
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. I think he's a little bit of

448
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: a cell high at this point. He seems to be

449
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: in Kyle Shanahan's flid graces for now. He put up

450
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: a monster game as the focal point of this offense

451
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: last week against Detroit, Cott nine of twelve targets for

452
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty nine yards in a touchdown. In contrast,

453
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: you know, Trent Sherfield caught two of three targets for

454
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: twenty three yards in a touchdown, and Brandon Ayuk, who

455
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: I was ready to put on the back of a

456
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: milk carton sow zero targets all day. Samuel finished with

457
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven point four Fantasy points in half PPR, the

458
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: third best of the week among receivers. I don't expect

459
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 2: Kyle's smokescreen Shanahan to truly lean on any one receiver,

460
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: especially with Ayuk trending towards being healthy. But for now,

461
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to trust Samuel over Davis, who just has

462
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: that brutal Week two matchup on the road against the Bucks.

463
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: We've talked about Davis.

464
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: I think he just doesn't have the ceiling that Samuel

465
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: might have in this game. Last question is at Keeney

466
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: crushing rights. I have Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. Should

467
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 2: I try to trade one of them for a running back?

468
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: I currently have Jamal Williams as an insurance policy for

469
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift and Latavius Murray as my only bench running backs.

470
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: If so, what running backs are the right value for

471
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 2: each quarterback? So I'm going to assume this is a

472
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: one quarterback league. This was not specified, but I'm going

473
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: to assume it is. Considering you're trying to shop one

474
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: of them. I would absolutely try to flip one of

475
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 2: them for a running back, assuming that is your leanest position. Like,

476
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: I'm just making a lot of assumptions since I can't.

477
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: See your roster.

478
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on to the next part of this question.

479
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: Comparing quarterback and running back values is just super super tough.

480
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: It really just varies based on your leagues positional scarcity

481
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: and manager's needs, Like you know, if someone really needs a.

482
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback, they're gonna pay more.

483
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: That said, some of the really nice by low running

484
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: backs I like this week are Clyde Edwards, E Lair,

485
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Aaron Jones, and Nagie Harris. No,

486
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that any of those managers that have

487
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: them rostered are going to be willing to flip them

488
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: for a quarterback, but I think that, you know, one

489
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: of them might be in there in that range. Allan

490
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: will probably fetch more in terms of running back value,

491
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: and I'm personally fine having either of those guys as

492
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: my loan quarterbacks, so I would probably try to shop Alan,

493
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 2: though you might be selling a little low on him

494
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: at this point after his kind of embarrassing Week one

495
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: performance against the Steelers. Another obstacle you might have in

496
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: flipping one of your quarterbacks would be the dearth of

497
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: injuries to any top quarterback in Week one.

498
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: Obviously a good.

499
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: Thing, like we're not wishing any injuries on anyone, but

500
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: if if you are trying to flip one of them,

501
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: I might wait until someone gets injured, Like it's totally inevitable.

502
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean someone will get injured and you can then

503
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 2: kind of jump on their needs. But also maybe the

504
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: manager that has Aaron Rodgers or Ryan Tannehill is panicking,

505
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: in which case send them the offer, like if they

506
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: have a running back. They have lots of running backs

507
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,719
Speaker 2: and their roster. I could see it happening, So anything

508
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: is possible. Just don't send like ridiculous trade offers. That's

509
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: obviously the worst.

510
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: All right, that will do it for this Mailbag episode.

511
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,240
