It was not as good 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: as week one. 19 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: I kind of washed out on bets, came out about 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: fifty to fifty. But it's not the worst thing in 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: the world, you know, if a bad week is kind 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: of coming back out, even there are worse escapes to 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: be made. Today has been a weird sports day. My 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: Timberwolves have blown up the team. I'm getting ready to 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: go to a Cubs game, but we are here to 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: talk about NFL, so it's all happening for me. 27 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: That is so exciting. I yeah, a multi sport athlete 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: over here. I live right across from Korsfield, and I 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: haven't been to a game in like months now, and 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm really really itching because you can hear it literally 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: from my apartment building. So I'm super excited, super jealous. 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: You're going to the Cubs game. Who are they playing today? 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: Sorry, they're playing the Twins. So this is actually both 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,919 Speaker 2: of my teams. 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: I grew up a Minnesota sports fan and now I'm 36 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: in Chicago area, so get to see both of them. 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: My brother is in town for this one. This is 38 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: my first Cubs game since so we handed out the 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: World Series rings, so it's been a minute. I think 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: that's about four full seasons, and there's maybe like two 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: guys left who got one of those rings. So this 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 3: is a very different team. I had the Blue wedding 43 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: earlier this year when the Cubs created just about everyone away. 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: But there's nothing like being at a game, especially in COVID. 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 3: We've all learned I think to appreciate what that will 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: be like outdoors is my friend, and I can't wait 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: to get a hot dog and watch a game and 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 3: learn some of these new players. 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: Yes, please enjoy the ambiance of live sports and adult 50 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: beverage if you're into that, and yeah, just a hot dog. 51 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: I guess I love stadium food actually, so I mean 52 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it like every day. We even did it, 53 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: like back to back when Katie and I kat our 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: editor went to the All Star Game. I'm Ren Derby, 55 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: and I was like, this might be a little too much, 56 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: but like I still enjoy it. 57 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: So when you're at Cores Field, what's your go to? 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: What's the order that you're getting at Cores? 59 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: Mostly I am focused on getting a white claw or 60 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: something like that. But I have never been to a 61 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: live sporting event where, like, you know, where it's like 62 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: absolutely freezing, like a Patriots game or a Bills game 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: or something where they come in sleeping bags and I 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: just like can't imagine that because my body gets so 65 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: cold if I'm sitting for any period of time, Like 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: the only hope is if I'm moving around. So either 67 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: they're drinking massive amounts of beer, which probably is true 68 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: or I don't know. Man, I think I would literally 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: die of hub with every like that can't be fun, honestly. Yeah. 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: See. 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: On the other side, I'm from North Dakota, so i 72 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: grew up in snow at all times, so I've done 73 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: the like bear chested in the snow football game, painted 74 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: on your chest experience, Like that's just college to me, 75 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: That's what football was like here. So no, that's just 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: another day. We got winter about half the years you 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: got it used to a little cold. 78 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: In my world, sing, I missed out on the true 79 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: college experience. I did not go to university in the States, 80 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: so I certainly did not have the college football experience. 81 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: I have actually never been to a college football game, 82 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: so I feel like I'm so missing out. All these 83 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: stories that people tell me, I'm always just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: that sounds like fun. I can't relate. I went to McGill. 85 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: We do have an NFL player that was in my 86 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: year at McGill, Laurent Dubernet Tardif, who went for the Chiefs. 87 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: He is actually a doctor, which is super Yeah. 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: He took last year off to fight COVID on the 90 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 3: front lines and now he's back to fight raiders on 91 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: the front lines. 92 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: Super super impressive. I remember when he was like in 93 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: the draft class and he, I guess, was saying that 94 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: just studying for the MCAT he lost like thirty five 95 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: pounds because it's so hard for them to keep on weight. 96 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably worth three hundred pounds. So big dude, 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: thank you. But yeah, Canadian Pride. All right, let us 98 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: just jump into the mailbag, hit me with some questions. 99 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: All right. 100 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: Our first question comes from Kenzie. She says, should I 101 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: start the Cardinals defense or the Browns defense this week? 102 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: I'm guessing the Cardinals since they're up against Jacksonville. Thank 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: you in advance, So polite, Kenzie. So for me, it's 104 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: kind of like a coin flip. I think these are 105 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: really really close. I think they're both really good starts, 106 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 3: like definitely top twelve starts. I'm gonna go with the 107 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: Browns DST. I think you're correct that the Cardinals defense 108 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: gets the slight edge in terms of matchup. 109 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Well, maybe a little bit more of an edge now 110 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: that Justin Fields has been named the starter. Though the 111 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: Bears and Jaguars have scored seventeen points per game this 112 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: year each so they haven't put up too too much offense. 113 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: Like I said, I think this may change a little 114 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: bit since Fields will be the starter. I trust the 115 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: Bears offense as a whole more now, but with the 116 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: the way the Cardinals offense has been playing, I can 117 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: definitely see this game having more shootout potential. Bigas seems 118 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: to agree. I got these lines last night, so I 119 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: don't know if they changed with the quarterback change, but 120 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: the Cardinals Jaguars game has a point total of fifty two, 121 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: tied for the fourth highest point total of the week 122 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: versus forty six and a half for Bears Browns. 123 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that one. I think that 124 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: the Browns could have a big game this week. One reason, 125 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: you know, I'm in Chicago area, so everyone's been talking 126 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: about Justin Fields ever since they drafted him. Everyone's excited 127 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: for his debut. But one reason I think Andy Dalton 128 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 3: was starting is because he has had one of the 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: fastest release times. He doesn't do much, but he does 130 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: get the ball out fast, and with Fields, that was 131 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: one of the big draft critiques was that he's a 132 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: little slow getting things out, and so you put Fields 133 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: on the road in a raucous environment. You got a 134 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: rough you know, Miles Garrett and Jadavian Clowney bearing down 135 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: on him. To me, that spells some sacks, maybe an interception, 136 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: some forced problems there. So I like the Browns to 137 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: cause some mistakes from a rookie in this first start 138 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: in the road. So I like that one. 139 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And we definitely saw I guess a little bit of 140 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: when he stepped in last week of maybe like rookie mistakes. 141 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: We saw the interception and stuff, So I think probably 142 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: not start him this week. I think speaking the week 143 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: after would be the times to start him. I think 144 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: saw on the ratings and the fires of the most 145 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, so maybe this week I would wait because, 146 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: like you said, the Browns have a pretty decent pass rush, 147 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: so I could see that being an issue for the rookie. 148 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that all right. 149 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: Nate writes, would you start James Robinson or Tyson Williams 150 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: this week in half PPR League. 151 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: The James Robinson whole thing is just giving me such 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: a headache because one wrote him off for dead when 153 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: Dravis Etn was drafted. Then Etn gets injured and Robinson's 154 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: right back in that RB two conversation, but he has 155 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: just not put that up. So I'm going to go 156 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: with Tyson Williams. The matchup is better in Detroit opposite 157 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: as opposed to versus Arizona, and Williams is the top 158 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: back in a very run heavy Baltimore offense, which I 159 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: don't think this is a hot take, is significantly better 160 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: coached than Jacksonville. Williams is tied with Melvin Gordon right 161 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: now and half PPR is RB eleven through two weeks, 162 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: while Robinson is RB forty two, So he's got the 163 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: better matchup, better opportunity track record thus far, so to me, 164 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: he's an easy start over Robinson. What do you think 165 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: between those two guys? 166 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: Thinks about gamescript on this song. You either have the 167 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: Baltimore running back who's likely going to be running, running 168 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: all game, protecting a lead, or you have the Jacksonville 169 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: one who might be behind all game and then who 170 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: knows if you're catching passes, who knows if you're not 171 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 3: even on the field. Maybe it's a different back. So 172 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: I like Jabos Robinson coming to the year. I bet 173 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 3: on him to leave the league and rushing and I 174 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: could pretty much just throw that ticket away at this point, 175 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 3: I think so, I think, man, yeah right. 176 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: We tried. We tried. 177 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: I bet I bet on pretty much every other Baltimore 178 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: running back for that one too. 179 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: So I've got a few other torn up tickets already. 180 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I totally get that. I think we talked about this, 181 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: but I was a little bit over leveraged on JK. 182 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Dobbins and Gus Edwards things. I was telling everyone to 183 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: go out and bet Gus Edwards over four and a 184 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: half rushing touchdowns, which I guess voids because he's not playing. 185 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: But so that's the good one. 186 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: Still. I was definitely in on his Baltimore backfield, which 187 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: is obviously exploded. 188 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: All right. 189 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: Our next one is from beach bod one oh one 190 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: that this question is not for me is what you're 191 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: learned from that? So beachbod one oh one says who 192 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: to start for Week three, DeVante Parker or ron Dale Moore. 193 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: Any feedback would be much appreciative. 194 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so both have pretty positive matchups. I'm going to 195 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: say More over Parker, though I've been really high on 196 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 1: more all week. Really of the past couple weeks. You 197 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: can read a really great piece from Sean Kerner about 198 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: this that was from before his awesome performance in Week two. 199 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: That was like, go pick him up before there's a 200 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: mad rush, and of course he goes off, so there 201 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: was a mad rush. The Dolphins play the Raiders this week, 202 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: who have been middle of the road against the pass. 203 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: Parker has a number of things working against him, though. 204 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: For one, Will Fuller is expected to make his debut 205 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: for Miami this week, which was supposed to happen last week. 206 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: He was serving out a six week suspension that started 207 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: last season. Took a week off for personal reasons, but 208 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: I think he's coming back this week. In addition, his 209 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: addition will ultimately cannibalize some targets from Parker and Wattle, 210 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: but more so from Parker since they're like more of 211 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: the stretch the field type guys, where Wattle lines up 212 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: more in the slot. Second, I wrote these notes like 213 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: last night, where the quarterback situation was up in the air. 214 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: It is no longer up in the air. But Toungo 215 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: Vailoa has fractured ribs. He's not going to play. It's 216 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: going lea Jacobi Brissette. I'm not sure that that's necessarily 217 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: a downgrade for the whole offense. But if it hurts anyone, 218 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: it probably hurts guys like Parker more so. This offense 219 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: was also just shut out thirty five to nothing last 220 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: week with Brisette stuck sting in for a tongue I love. 221 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: It's just looked overall pretty anemic. On the other side 222 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: of things, we've got more in this Cardinals offense, which 223 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: is just looks absolutely fantastic. I think that they will 224 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: feast on the Jaguar secondary, who have let Loud the 225 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: sixth most passing yards per game this year. He is 226 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: the wide receiver for in this offense, but it's super 227 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: high volume. They play a ton of four wide sets 228 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: and he has more targets than DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk 229 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: and AJ Green, So I like him for this week 230 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: and beyond. 231 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm with you on this one. 232 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 3: The Cardinals, Loo, if you really don't know what you're 233 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: going to get from either of these guys, just because 234 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: they're you know, not buried on the depth chart, but 235 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: certainly not at the top of it, so you're not 236 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: really sure from week to week. So I think it 237 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: just comes to the matchup then, and you got to 238 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: like playing Jacksonville. We've talked about that one. A couple 239 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: of times, he's gonna be points on that game. I 240 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: think Jacksonville might even score a little bit too. Slen 241 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: Arizonal have to keep throwing. So I don't necessarily love 242 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: either one of these guys. I'm not sure they're going 243 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 3: to be super consistent long term, but I agree with 244 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: what you said. I think Rondelle Moore looks like the 245 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: right play this week. He is a jitterbug. That dude 246 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 3: is tiny and just like running right through the whole 247 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: defense just before halftime. Last week, my poor Vikings gave 248 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 3: up like a seventy yard bomb to Rondale and then 249 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 3: right before halftime gave up another great play whereas it's 250 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: kind of a dump off screen and he ran through 251 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: like five defenders, got out a bounds of the second 252 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: left and made. 253 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: A big play that picked up a field goal. 254 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 3: So if your Arizona got to like what you're seeing 255 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: with him, I feel like he gets on the field 256 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: a little bit more so. 257 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: I like that one. 258 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: Sorry about that game, that was a paintaball loss. 259 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: I'm sure, Well, you know, just another day for Minnesota fans. 260 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: Someday you'll have a. 261 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: Great someday someday all right. Up next from at Matthew J. Sloan, 262 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: he writes, would you drop Kenneth Gainwell for Alexander Madison 263 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: if you also roster Delvin? 264 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: So I think it brings up an interesting point because 265 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: I want to address this first. I don't know where 266 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: you stand on rostering your own backup, Like, personally, it 267 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me if you have Cook what you're 268 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: assessing whether or not to roster Madison. So this dilett 269 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: comes down to Madison versus Samwell. But I'm just curious 270 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: to see where you stand on that spectrum in terms 271 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: of like do you need to get well? This is 272 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: not I was just going to say Tony Pollo Ezekiel Elliott, 273 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: but that's actually no longer a good example. But Madison 274 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: and Cook are the perfect example. So if you drafted 275 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: Cook in the first round that you had the second 276 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: overall pick, are you taking Madison later on? 277 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 2: Yeah? 278 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: This is a tricky one for me because typically I'm 279 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: not a fan of having to invest in that handcuff 280 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: running back just because you're kind of wasting a pick, 281 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: you're wasting a roster spot. Even more important to me 282 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: because I love to play waivers and trade, and I 283 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: don't want that spot just wasting away all year. To me, 284 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: I think if you have Cook, you ought to have 285 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: Madison because if Cook does get injured, and he basically 286 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: does every single year for a few games, then Madison 287 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: is a top five or ten play so that makes 288 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: sense to put them together. 289 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: But for me, if I think. 290 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: That about a player, if Cook is likely to get injured, 291 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 3: I'm less likely to want him on my team the 292 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: first place, because I don't want to invest the two 293 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: picks in the extra roster spot, so I'm usually going 294 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: to fade the situation in that spot. But for me, 295 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: if I do have Cook, I would personally want to 296 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: keep Madison around, just because if it's a guy that 297 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: has a run centric team like Minnesota and where if 298 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: Cook does get hurt, you know Madison. We've seen him, 299 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: he's been productive, we know that he would be the guy. 300 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: So I think it's rare that a handcuff is worth it. 301 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: But in a spot like that where you know you're 302 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: going to have like an RB one immediately, then I 303 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: think that I maybe hang on to him, But it's 304 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: it depends on the team. 305 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: Probably. 306 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, obviously, all these things depend We're just 307 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: getting these questions in a vacuum without seeing your roster, 308 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: see your your settings and everything like that. But in 309 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: terms of the game Well versus Madison question, like I said, 310 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: it just really depends if you need a flex play 311 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: this week in like a deeper league that gives you 312 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: more guaranteed points. Since he is in the committee with 313 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: Sanders versus just being a backup, he also has a 314 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: plush matchup against the Dallas run defense. Meanwhile, Madison, like 315 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: I said, is the clear cut backup. He will see 316 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: a pretty trivial workload there, barring a major injury to Cook. 317 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: Just in terms of like workload, Madison is seeing two attempts. 318 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: That's a four percent share this season two Cooks forty two, 319 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: while game Will has seen fifty two fifteen attempts to 320 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: standers twenty eight. So that's about seeing about half of 321 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: what Sanders is seeing, whereas Madison is barely being used. 322 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: I think those were those two touches you probably got, 323 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: or when Cook was like briefly out of the game 324 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: and in the injury tent last week. That said, if 325 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: you are super deep at running back and only need 326 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: a bench stash for a potential upside. I would say 327 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: Madison makes more sense of guys Keenwell and Madison would 328 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: vault into a media RB one consideration if either Cooker 329 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: Sanders were to miss time. But the possibility of cook 330 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: missing time is higher, I thought, just from his history 331 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: and also given the fact that he's already banged up. 332 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: So that is what I'm going with. I would say 333 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: probably in most cases, I would keep gain Well. 334 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: Let's go to our next realm from at jj D 335 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: golf one, who asks they need two running backs and 336 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 3: a flex this week, and we have some options here. 337 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 3: So here are the names that we're choosing from. We 338 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 3: have Najie Harris, Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, Elijah Mitchell, your favorite, 339 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: Kenneth Gainwell, Antonio Gibson, Jacoby Myers, Carlos Hyde, and Tony 340 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: Jones Junior. 341 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: So where are you starting on this song? 342 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: There's like slam dunk guys, and that's going to be 343 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: Naji Harris and Antonio Gibson. Like those your locked and 344 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: loaded two running backs versus a top twelve play this 345 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: week and I think most weeks. But they're going against Cincy, 346 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: so that's a good matchup. And then Gibson is kind 347 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: of on a borderline right now, Like I think people 348 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: are overreacting to him getting out scored by Jad McKissick 349 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: last week, and it's a little bit of a toper matchup, 350 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: But like I'm definitely starting him, Like there are very 351 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: few situations I can imagine where I would be benching 352 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. So you're starting Harrison Gibson. As for your 353 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: flex spot right now, I'm just automatically tossing out jo 354 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: Toni Jones Junior, Jacoby Myers, Kenneth Gainwell and Carlos Hide. 355 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 1: Those guys are just they're they're fine bench guys, but 356 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: compared to the other two that you have, it just 357 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. So to me, it comes down to 358 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: Mitchell versus where it's Elier. Mitchell isn't even practicing understand 359 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: the frustration though with Edwards d Lair, especially after a poignant, 360 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: in costly fumble to end the game last week. I 361 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: don't think he's in Andy Reid's doghouse quite yet. And 362 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: there's also like no one in that backfield that he's 363 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: gonna lose his job to, Like I just I just 364 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: don't see that happening. I don't see him getting the 365 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: super high volume that we thought he might get, but 366 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: he has a more established role. Mitchell, on the other hand, 367 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: banged up in this unpredictable Kyle Shanahan wielded backfield. Both defenses, 368 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers and Packers respectively, are well below average in 369 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: terms of stopping the run, so I'll call that one 370 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: a push. The chief Chargers game, though, has a higher 371 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: point total than Packers forty nine ers. It's fifty six 372 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: versus forty and a half. I'm giving Edwards either the 373 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: edge Obert Mitchell this week. Mitchell might not even play, 374 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: so that might make your decision even easier. 375 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: Well, and Mitchell might play and then not play too. 376 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 3: As you know, with the Shanahan aigins, you never really 377 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: know what's going to come up with that, so not 378 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 3: to steal your phrase. 379 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: Literally, did I just see before we started recording this 380 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: that they signed someone. 381 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: New, Chris Thompson, I think they brought in, and then 382 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 3: I saw a second name on there too, So it's 383 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: just running back Roulette in San Francisco. 384 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, carry on. They had carry On Dress signed 385 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: to you their practice squad. But I think they're going 386 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: to bring up so they need depth. I mean, Jamichael 387 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: Haysey is injured, Trace Herman obviously terrible injury on the 388 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: very first carry of his NFL career. So and a 389 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: fumble yet the whole the worst, worst possible communication of events. 390 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 3: And and I'm still on the ground pouting a little 391 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: bit while not tackling the guy who recovered his fumble. 392 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 3: Well we'll say he was hurt, but you know, I 393 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 3: feel like he could have tripped him or something. 394 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, unless he was like completely knocked out. 395 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: You just can't like even you gotta finish the play, 396 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Like Baker Mayfield throws a pick and tries to tackle 397 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: a dude like. 398 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 3: Well, he probably shouldn't have shouldn't have done. I don't 399 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 3: want to separate your shoulders. Gott to let that, Baker. 400 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, I like Clyde Edwards Hilaire as the flex. 401 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: It went in doubt for me. Just play the guy 402 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 3: on an awesome team that's going to score points. You 403 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 3: can never really go wrong with having a piece of 404 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: the Chiefs offense. I think Chiefs Chargers is probably a 405 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: shootout where it's one of those games where the last 406 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: team with the ball is going to come away with 407 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: the win, so the Packers Niners might end up being 408 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 3: that too, But I just played. You know, I never 409 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: mind having a chief in mine lineup as long as 410 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is around and might give me points. 411 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 2: Whoever my guy is. Sure, let's see what happens. 412 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I feel like if I had to guess, 413 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers will lose this one by a field goal, 414 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: since that is their mo. 415 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 3: They do like to do that. There, They're a team 416 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 3: after My own heart is a Vikings fan. All right, 417 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 3: we got one about George Kittle here, very simple from 418 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: at AC Snow twenty two. Start bench or trade George Kittle. 419 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm starting him. I don't know which Titan you theoretically 420 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: have also rostered that you're benching Kittle for, like, please 421 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: don't say it's Max Williams, Jack Oil or something like 422 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: don't get cute. I know that Max Williams is like 423 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: the sexy ad right now, don't do it. I get it. 424 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: It's been a rather quiet two weeks. Like Kittle I had, 425 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: I've been saying is the only forty nine er you 426 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: can really trust. Still maintain that he is still a 427 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: top six play. He is in my Bilo column this week, 428 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: so I think if you can get him, like you know, 429 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: for other people, if they can go out and try 430 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: to trade for him, I think that's an awesome play. 431 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: He should be fine season long, especially against the Packers 432 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: who have given up three touchdowns to Titans so far. 433 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 1: I think if you're trading him now, you're trading him 434 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: at his absolute Ney dear so just started. 435 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree hundred percent. You look, you invested a 436 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: high pick or high auction value here. You can't sell 437 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: it half the price. You just got to ride it out. 438 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: And Kittle is a beast. He's going to have a 439 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: good game soon enough. 440 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: I said here on the Fantasy Flex is a segment 441 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: we call Elite Entries where we will dive into the 442 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: Prize Picks app to builth co entries. And today we 443 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: are going to look at Thursday Night Football plays for 444 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: Week three on Prize Picks as mine. Carolina Panthers to 445 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: go on the road to take on the Houston Texas. 446 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: What a barnburner it is going to be Sam Darnolds 447 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: versus Davis Mills. Like get excited on that note. The 448 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: first time that I like is Davis Mills under two 449 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and nine and a half passing yards, So like, 450 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: this wasn't terrible stepping in for Tyrol Taylor, but he 451 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: wasn't great either. This is a play I actually already 452 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: mentioned on the previous podcast. I'm just going to reiterate 453 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: it again, and actually the total has gone up. So 454 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: I certainly like the under. I just don't first see 455 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: a scenario where Mills is going over two hundred passing 456 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: yards because this Carolina defense that has looked really good 457 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night, the short week, I just I 458 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: just don't see it happening. What say you, Brandon? 459 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 460 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: I mean, look, the Panthers defense has been awesome. You 461 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: have got to be excited about your guys. They are 462 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: the numbers. 463 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: Oh man. 464 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: I'm a big Brian Burns fan, so I'm excited to 465 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: see him tear up the line. 466 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: A little bit this week. 467 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: They're the number one defensive DBOA team right now. So 468 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 3: that is a rough spot to be a rookie making 469 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 3: your first start on a short week, when you're on 470 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: even really prepared to step into this. 471 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: I like the under. I agree with that one awesome. 472 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: The next one that I like is terrorist Marshall over 473 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: three catches, so Marshall has had three catches in each 474 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: of his first two NFL and it's currently third behind 475 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: DJ Moore and Christian McCaffrey and catches for the team. 476 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: I just think his role is going to grow as 477 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: the wide receiver too. In this offense, Like I think 478 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: he's the better receiver. And it's weird because I had 479 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: this theory that like Robbie Anderson and Sam Dartold would 480 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: have this chemistry from like surviving the Adam Gase era, 481 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: would like he would throw to him. But like Robbie 482 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: Anderson has just not been nearly the factor that I 483 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: thought he might be. I think Terras Marshall really represents 484 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: the future for them, and I think his role is 485 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: going to grow. And I think if you're looking ahead 486 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: in terms of like Waiver wire type guys, I would 487 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: pick him up before he goes off this week. What 488 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: city you branded? 489 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta trust the Panthers insider on this one. 490 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: I know I don't know much about the rookie. I 491 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: wasn't super high on him in the draft, but it 492 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 3: is a nice spot. 493 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 2: I agree. 494 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 3: I was expecting Robbie Anderson to have some chemistry there 495 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem to be the case. So it's 496 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: a good spot for Terris Marshall. 497 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: I like it. 498 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: It's definitely a bummer too, because Anderson was being drafted 499 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: is like a wide receiver three, and I did take 500 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: him in spots because I thought that that like he 501 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: was falling later than that I feel like in my drafts, 502 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: and I guess everyone else just saw through that. So 503 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: that's one I maybe get a little wrong. The next 504 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: one that I like is mark Ingram under eight and 505 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: a half Fantasy points. So Ingram has seen a lot 506 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: of the workload as the I'm gonna call him the 507 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: alpha in this backfield, but it's kind of a generous term. 508 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: It's a very crowded backfield. He hasn't been able to 509 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: do much with it either. He has forty rushes, which 510 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: is fifty eight percent share for one hundred and twenty 511 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: six yards if you want to do that math, that 512 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: is three point two yards per carry, so not stellar 513 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. He only has one catch all year 514 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: for minus one yards, so suffice it to say he 515 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: is not being utilized in the passing game. It's just 516 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: a bad matchup to me against this Panther's much improved 517 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: defensive line, So I think he goes under eight and 518 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: a half fantasy points. 519 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 3: I'm going to catch passes and so basically you just 520 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 3: need to fade a touchdown. If it doesn't get a 521 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: touch down, than all we're really looking at is he 522 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 3: needs to not get to eighty five ninety yards and 523 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 3: you should be safe. 524 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: So that one makes sense to me. 525 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: Awesome. The last one that I am looking at as 526 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: a possibility is Sam Darnold over one and a half 527 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, so he's thrown two touchdowns. He threw two 528 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Saints and one touchdown a week one 529 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: against the Jets. I just feel like this Texans defense 530 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: is not going to get put up too too much 531 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: of a fight. Like we saw them kind of shut 532 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: down the Jaguars, but that was the Jaguars and we 533 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: realized like, oh yeah, it's the Texans, Like everyone calmed down. 534 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: So I definitely see there being two touchdowns to go 535 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: around here. 536 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: To me, this is the riskiest of the four, I think, 537 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 3: just because you know, there should be a couple of touchdowns. 538 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: Houston's defense as not much, but CMC is a beast, 539 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: you know, I don't any game he could be a 540 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 3: threat to just run like three of them in on 541 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: his own. And I don't have a good feel yet 542 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: for the play calling and is Donald going to get 543 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 3: the touchdown? I know Teddy didn't really get many passing 544 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 3: touchdowns last year. 545 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: So I'm still a little skeptical. 546 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 3: I wrote an article action last week ranking all the 547 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 3: opening day. 548 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks and ear muffs. 549 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 3: Unfortunately I had Sam Donald last out of the entire. 550 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: Him probably last two. 551 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: So you know, he's looking. 552 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 3: He's looking good so far, but I am probably taking 553 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 3: the Texans points on this one at multiple scores at 554 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 3: home underdog. I still need to see a little more 555 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: from Sam Donald. You know, I like what Matt Rule 556 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: and this team was doing, but I've got to see 557 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: them pay it off a little bit. So that's the 558 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 3: one where I might might have to double think about 559 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: it before going in again. 560 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: I feel the same way that I need to like 561 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: kind of see it from Sam Donald a little bit 562 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: more and see him feed up on teams that are 563 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: not just the Jets. And I mean the Saints scheme 564 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: was impressive. Still, I don't want to take that away 565 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: from him. But yeah, anyway, that is our elite entry 566 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: for Thursday Night Football.

Bope writes, should more 583 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 3: redraft leagues use a third round reversal instead of a 584 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 3: true snake draft? Getting a philosophical here today, have you. 585 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: Done any of these third round reversal drafts? 586 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 2: Haven't? I would like to. 587 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 3: I try to convince my friends to add it into 588 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 3: our draft, but we like to keep it traditional interesting. 589 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: Okay, well, your average pick, like the mean of your 590 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: picks goes from twenty nine point four to thirty one 591 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: point six and third round reversal, so the impact isn't 592 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: as big as it would seem like. It seems like 593 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: it's a big impact if you have one of the 594 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: edge picks, And I think it's it's kind of cool, 595 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: like it does deemphasize the draft order, like people don't 596 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: focus as much on like what pick you have, and 597 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: balances out the league. So I think it's it's interesting, 598 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: and I think it's cool to like spice up fantasy leagues, 599 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: especially if you're in like a bunch of leagues like us. 600 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in a lot of leagues, so like 601 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: piking a draft a little bit more fun, keeping me 602 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: on my toes. I like it. 603 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a big fan of having some sort of 604 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 3: unique rule something to make your draft a little different, 605 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: if for no other reason, then, especially if you are 606 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: a seasoned fantasy player, mix it up a little bit, 607 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: add in a twist because everyone else has already had 608 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: Fantasy football solve for them by people like Mantha who 609 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 3: has told you exactly what to who to pick, what round, 610 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: everyone to figure it out, and you know, it's a 611 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: little boring to me. It's the same thing in all 612 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: the leagues. So mix it up, whether it's the third 613 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 3: run reversal or one of my favorite rules we used 614 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 3: to do was have a flex position that had to 615 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: be a rookie starter, so you had to start a 616 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: rookie running back, receiver tight end. 617 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 2: Just you know, mix the things up a little bit. 618 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: And you can't just click on an article to have 619 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 3: everyone tell you what to do on that. You got 620 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: to send it into the mail bag instead. So I 621 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: don't know if I would like the third reversal, and 622 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: that is to say I don't think I would want 623 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: one of the high picks. It's a long wait and 624 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: at least the payoff is you get those two top 625 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 3: twenty five type guys. But if you lose that second one, now, no, 626 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: you might end up with Matt Ryan. So, speaking of 627 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 3: quarterbacks who have disappointed named Ryan, here's a question from 628 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 3: Ryan about another Ryan. 629 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: How about that transition? 630 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 3: Ryan writes, Are you worried enough about Ryan Tannehill to 631 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: consider replacing him? 632 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's tricky yeah, so I while I don't 633 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: think it's one hundred percent of Tannehill's fault like this 634 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: doesn't matter for fantasy purposes, I am worried enough about him. 635 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: They have allowed these second most sacks in the NFL 636 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: so far with nine. That's tied with the Tangles and 637 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: behind only the Jets, who just have looked absolutely terrible. 638 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: So I think this is really hurt Tannehill's performance as 639 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: a passer so far. If you have him, I would 640 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: definitely consider streaming quarterbacks week to week because Seaman's your 641 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: QB one, But you can get guys, or at least 642 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: could have gotten guys before this waiver cycle, like Daniel Jones, 643 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: like car, like Bridgewater, any of those guys would have 644 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: been awesome streamers this week. Next week there'll be another 645 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: streamer even like Kirk Cousins might be available to you. 646 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: But like I said, I would consider streaming quarterbacks week 647 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: to week until we see this offensive line perform better 648 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: in pass protection. I would even consider starting guys like 649 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold over him this week the matchup is better. Yeah, 650 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: Like Bridgewater, Jones, Donald and Carr were widely available before 651 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: this favor cycle, so it's certainly not the end of 652 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: the world if you've drafted Tannehill, but there are options 653 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: for you. 654 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: I mean, the hope is that Ryan has at least 655 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 3: a second option on the roster. Hopefully we didn't go 656 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: into the year with just Ryan Tannehill as the only hope. 657 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: There are so many good quarterbacks that you really should 658 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 3: be able to find a second option out there, even 659 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 3: to trade for one if you need to. There are 660 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: a lot of those, you know, the Donald's and Teddies 661 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: of the world that can add to the rotation. I 662 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: think the best news with Ryan Tannehill is that he's 663 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 3: still just to play the Texans twice and the Jaguars twice, 664 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 3: so there are definitely some matchups there. I'm not excited 665 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: about him. I was a big fate on the Titans 666 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 3: this year without Arthur Smith around, and we don't really 667 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 3: know yet. We had one really bad Titans week and 668 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: one where they pretty much looked like they looked the 669 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 3: last couple of years, So I know that's a panic yet, 670 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: but I wasn't really ever unpanicked about the Titans, So. 671 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of on the same page that, like, 672 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm like a little bit worried but I never started 673 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: out very high. 674 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: All right, we've got on a much better running back, 675 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. So Chris wants to know, should I sell 676 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 3: high on Derrick Henry after his monster game? 677 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: How dare you? No? Unless someone offers you Like I 678 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: hate to say no definitively, but like, unless someone offers 679 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: you something ridiculous in return. I am all in on 680 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: Henry rest of season. Like we've seen the Titans passing 681 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: game struggles, I think they will continue to lean on 682 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: the run pretty heavily. We're not. Henry is a guaranteed 683 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: as they come. I feel like in terms of fantasy production, 684 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: people really really overreacted to his first week. But like 685 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: I said, with the Titans passing game looking kind of 686 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: an emick right now, I think that he will continue 687 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: to be fed. 688 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 689 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: Look, you don't sell high on first round picks. You 690 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 3: drafted him to get games like this. So if you 691 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 3: have Henry, enjoy the ride. Hope that he stays healthy, 692 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 3: and I hope that he just keeps plowing through the defense. So, 693 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 3: all right, We've got a couple more here, I think, 694 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 3: and then we'll get job here Sean Wright. Should I 695 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 3: trade Antonio Gibson? For Julio Jones if I need a 696 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: receiver and this is a half PPR league, Yeah. 697 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: I don't love that trade. It's going to depend a 698 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 1: little bit on your roster build, Like I don't know 699 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: exactly who you have, but at this point, you are 700 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: selling low on Gibson after one game in which he 701 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: was outscored by Jade and Kissick. I admit that his 702 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: usage in that game was a bit peculiar, but I 703 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: think he should continue to offer low end or be 704 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: one upside in the right matchups. He's more valuable in 705 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: my opinion than the second receiver in a Titans offense, 706 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: which again we've been just kind of down on one 707 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: passing touchdown all year. I don't think that continues to 708 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: that degree, but it's certainly a concern, and I think 709 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: a long run, we're first of all, I think in 710 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: the long run we're going to see more of Taylor Heineke. 711 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: It's not I don't know if we'll see Ryan Fitzpatrick 712 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: again this year, and Taylor Heinike being in there I 713 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: think does help Antonio Gibson in long runs. So don't 714 00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: sell low in him. 715 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'd hang on to Gibson I've not 716 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 3: been high on the Titans passing game, so you know 717 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 3: it is a by low spot, but it's a cello 718 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 3: on Gibson too, like that that was probably your top pick. 719 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 3: Julio Jones was a you know, a round or two later, 720 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 3: and you rather have the bell call running back if 721 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 3: you can. There's just not that many of them. Like 722 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 3: that's that's the whole thing in fantasy. So I don't 723 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 3: love either a player, but I'd rather just hang on 724 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 3: to Gibson and and hope that Washington they can really 725 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 3: only go up from where they're at, so I think 726 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 3: that they should get a little better enough. All Right, 727 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 3: our last one comes from at my raw. 728 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 2: Let's go with that. 729 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 3: So they would like to know what do I do 730 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 3: with Trey Lance. This is a one to one team 731 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 3: streaming quarterback Kirk Cousins the first two weeks. Keep calm 732 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: and carry on or cut bait. 733 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it just depends on if you need 734 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: the roster space. Like I'm totally fine with streaming Cousins, 735 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: especially to speak against the Seahawks, especially since it seems 736 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: like he has like a really competent third receiver like 737 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: that passing game has looked pretty strong. However, if you 738 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: do find yourself needing an extra spot, and assuming this 739 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: is like making a lot of assumptions, but assuming this 740 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: is a re draft league, no keepers, no dynasty, and 741 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: it's a one quarterback league, not super flex, I would 742 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: definitely consider cutting Lance, like you typically don't need to 743 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks in a normal type league if there 744 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 1: is a keeper dynasty element, though I would keep Lance 745 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: obviously he has longer, longer term value. But like, Lance 746 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: is sitting on the waiver wire in a couple of 747 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: my leagues right now, and I think that's fine. 748 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that's where he ought to 749 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 3: be for right now. He's just not quite ready to play. Look, 750 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 3: I'm a North Dakota State diehard fan, so Trey Lance 751 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 3: is my guy. But this was always supposed to be 752 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 3: a wait and see approach with him. Like, I think 753 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 3: he's going to come in and play a few snaps, 754 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 3: get a couple of red zone looks, you know, maybe 755 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: steal a touchdown every now and then. 756 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 2: Clearly that's the plan. 757 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo is not going to be the guy for 758 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 3: so long, but I think right now Garppolo is the guy, 759 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 3: and it doesn't look like we're getting close to turning 760 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 3: things over to Lance, and we don't even know what 761 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 3: he'll look like even if we get there. So yeah, 762 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 3: if you have, if your settings are that there's an 763 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 3: extra reason to keep Lance, then keep them. If it's 764 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 3: because it's a keeper, a dynasty, a second quarterback, then 765 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: keep him for sure. Otherwise I don't know I would 766 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 3: cut Bait because I don't know that he would have 767 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: been on my roster to start with. And look, you 768 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 3: probably could just get him back at a couple weeks 769 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 3: from now. Anyways, if you want him, I'm not sure 770 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 3: that there's gonna be a mad rush to grab him 771 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 3: right That will. 772 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: Do it for this mail Bag episode, Brandon, thank you 773 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: so so much for joining me on this episode.
