13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Florio?

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Last week was relatively good outside of the Bengals. I'm

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: really trying not to check comments though, because, uh, I mean,

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: what good comes from that? But speaking of Rebecca Black,

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: I love that she's like, what seat can I take?

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: And then they show the car and there's only one

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: seat available.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, who knows?

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe she was gonna flex and just somebody else like,

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: get out the get out of the passenger seat.

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here, I have never seen that video. I'm

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: Rebecca Black. Damn it. Uh you gotta watch it?

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, we're gonna make Lakwang this is gonna be.

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Lakwan's Film Festival. You have to watch.

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: You have to watch the Friday video by Rebecca Black

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: onto less hilarious news. Uh starts since if you go

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: across and you talking about some interesting ones, Uh, Floyd

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: let's started quarterback?

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: Who is up and who's down?

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 3: Uh? I know last week I said if jayde and

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: Daniels went out and had a good week against a

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: good defense, he becomes a must start. But this being

35
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: against the Ravens felt like that final step, right. Having

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: him as a start against this defense means you start

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: him every single week. So Jade and Daniels, congratulations there

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: h Jordan Love, I'm continuing to ride with, especially against

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: the Cardinals. Dak Prescott I think is a mustard option

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: this week against the Lions, justin fields because the vague

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: the Raiders get ran all over and he could do

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: some of that running. And then all Williams is someone

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: that I am actually excited to be starting in a

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: couple of leagues this week. And then Jared Goff not

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: a must sit, but I don't think he's people's only quarterback.

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: And the Cowboys have been stingy against quarterbacks this year.

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: They struggle against the run. We know that's a specialty

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: of the Lions. Like for me, Daniels love dak All

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that I have with Goff that I'm playing over him.

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert is absolutely unusable in fantasy right now. You

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: should put him on the waiver wire before you put

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: him in the starting lineup. Trevor Lawrence. The Bears have

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: been elite right now on defense, especially against the pass,

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: and then Aaron Rodgers, he has not been good outside

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: of a game against the Patriots. The Bills secondary has

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: been good. So I just don't think this is a

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: week you want to get the Jets qb one in.

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, we were excited about Aaron Rodgers in the

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: sense of we expected it to lift Garrett Wilson. We

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna make Breeze Hall that much better LaQuan.

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: That has not happened so far. Change in play, Rogers, Buddy,

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett losing the gig, Todd Downing taking it over.

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I know we talked a little bit about this on Thursday.

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Does this potentially make Aaron Rodgers better or is it

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: just the case that he's a forty year old quarterback

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: coming off in achilles injury.

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: It might be a bit of both, just being that,

68
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: you know, you just rip play calling from one of

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 4: his best friends I would call him Sam in this

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: situation of Jerry shore sor but it's it's a little

71
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: weird to see Aaron Rodgers to be playing at this

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: level right now, being that he's such a great quarterback

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: with a lot of accolades and stuff like that, but

74
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: he is forty one years old and this old line

75
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: is sketchy and just overall his connection with Garrett Wilson

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: is definitely in question of like is it more so

77
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: of like an ego thing where he's punishing him where

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: he's looking at on the czar or he's like, you're

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: gonna have to earn your keep. So it's a lot

80
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: of just a storylines that again we need to just

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: let play out and kind of figure out week to

82
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: week what's gonna happen Florida.

83
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: You sort of talked about this in the preseason of

84
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the like, hey, you know, are we a little bit

85
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: too high hyped on Garrett Wilson. Some of it is

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: he's had some really really tough matchups to start the season,

87
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: But are we gonna have a real conversation about Garrett

88
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Wilson next year in terms of what his ADP is

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna be.

90
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: I think so because even like last week, one hundred

91
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: yards great, but it took twenty two targets to get there.

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: And one thing, I don't think it's all Garrett Wilson's fault.

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: I think it's two things. One, I think Garrett Wilson

94
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: is like a Tier two wide receiver that we try

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: to make a Tier one. Tier one to me is

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: the special guys, the Ceede Lambs, the Jamar Chases, Aman Ross,

97
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: Saint Brown's AJ Brown, those guys Malik Neighbors. I'm putting

98
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: in that category as well, who can thrive no matter

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 3: the situation, the quarterback, everything else. Wilson, I don't know

100
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 3: if he's quite to that level. But also the play calling,

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: like these other teams do what they have to do

102
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: to try to get their best player of the ball

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: as much as possible, whereas the Jets, it seems like

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: they're using Garrett Wilson to be like, all right, you're

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: gonna take all the defensive attention so that Alan Lazard

106
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: could be open, And it just doesn't seem like smart

107
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: planning and coaching to.

108
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Me, Yeah, Look, I think at this point we all

109
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: sort of know what Nathaniel Hackett is as a play caller,

110
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: which is part of the reason he's not a play

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: caller currently in the league.

112
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: So I think that has a.

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Lot to do with what we're seeing so Far's move

114
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: over to running backs, your starts and sits there.

115
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs coming off of one of his best, his

116
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: best fantasy game of the year. I'm riding with him

117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: again this week against the Cardinals. A lot of Packers

118
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: love You're gonna see this week. Tony Pollard gets so

119
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: much volume and the Colts have struggled against the run

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: this year that I think you just continue starting Pollard.

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift is someone that I know we've all talked

122
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: up this week, and the Jags can they struggle against

123
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: the past the run. I'm pretty sure we could make

124
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: an NFL fantasy team and go get a touchdown against

125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: this Jags defense right now. Najie Harris because he gets

126
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: so much volume and the Raiders really struggle against the run.

127
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: And Chase Brown is someone I'm very excited for this week.

128
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: I think a huge week is coming for him. The

129
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: Giants really struggle against pass catching and explosive backs. Brian

130
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: Robinson Jr. I have as a sit which seems spicier

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: until he missed practiced two days in a row to

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: begin this week. But if he plays, I think if

133
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: you have another option, you take it. Rashad White is

134
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: just not getting enough volume right now. His targets are

135
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: going down and he has not topped eleven fantasy points

136
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 3: in four straight games. Devin Singletary because Tyrone Tracy could

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: eat into his workload, and anytime a running back is

138
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: coming off of a groin injury, one that's easily retweakable.

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: I take a little pause. Rico dal Is taking over

140
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: the Cowboys backfield, but that doesn't mean you want to

141
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 3: play him against the best run defense in the NFL.

142
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: And then Zamir White, Alexander Madison Ameredula. I don't want

143
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: to play any of them against the Steelers, but whoever starts,

144
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: you can almost guarantee that the RB two is going

145
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: to have the better fantasy day.

146
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: So Lakwan as the leading Brian Robinson junior stan on

147
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: this show, would you like to re mister Florio's proposition here?

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: No, because he might have a point man. He's banged up,

149
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't even want to go out there and

150
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: roll the dice on Brian Robinson Junior, you know, banged up,

151
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: And I honestly think this isn't even a great matchup

152
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: where the Ravens are just very good at stopping the run.

153
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: Their past defense may suck, but they're still good at

154
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: stopping the run. So I'm not gonna test their chin

155
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: when it comes to that.

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, fair enough? So I was I

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: was crazy, and I say it's like a deep deep sleeper.

158
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: You have Tony Polls to start, I have Spears is

159
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: like a deep sleeper? Am I am? I talking out

160
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: of my head? What am I doing?

161
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: I don't think? So okay, I don't like it.

162
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: All right, it's a good matchup. We think Spears is

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: a good player. He just needs volume, right, so like

164
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: if he gets a little bit more volume, Yeah yeah,

165
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: right now, right, let's get Spears. The only difference is

166
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: is Pollard is playing well in ETN is not?

167
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, we need all he just needs volume.

168
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: This is why I like doing a show with you guys.

169
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: You validating some of my weirder theories on this show.

170
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: Wide receivers for who do you like? Who do you

171
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: not like?

172
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Lakwan spoke him up on the show yesterday, but I

173
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: love Dj Moore this week against the Jaguars. I spoke

174
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: him up yesterday. But Zay Flowers against the Commanders is

175
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: someone that I'm really excited for him. Don't call me

176
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: bias in this one, because I think you start Terry

177
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: McLaurin as well, Jayden Reed, don Tavian Wicks. Reed is

178
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: a must start if Jordan Love plays, but Wicks has

179
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: twenty targets in his last two games last week. Disappointed

180
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: a bit, but still I believe led the team in targets.

181
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: And then call me crazy Amari Cooper because he's top

182
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: four in targets and air yards in the NFL right

183
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: now and the Eagles struggle against the deep ball. And

184
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: then I have Garrett Wilson as a sit because he

185
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: averages less than twelve fantasy points per game against the

186
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: Bills in his career, and in two games against him

187
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: last year, he was held to forty two yards. I

188
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: know it's a different quarterback and he's not a must sit,

189
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: but if you have another wide receiver or flex option

190
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: that you feel good about out. I think this is

191
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: a week you could take it. I'm taking a wait

192
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: and see approach with Tank Dell. This is something that

193
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: Lakwan touched on on the show yesterday. And then Courtland's

194
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: set in against the Chargers and all of the Chargers

195
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: receivers against the Broncos. I don't want to start a

196
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: single pass catcher in that game.

197
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to start a player in

198
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: that game. No, yeah, you know, just that the Broncos

199
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: offense is a mess. The Chargers have to deal with

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense. That's a tough matchup. I think that

201
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: game could be nine to seven. I don't think I

202
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: want any parts of that game six to three.

203
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: This could be six to three. Start the kickers. I

204
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: don't know that might be what you want in this one.

205
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: LaQuan, how are you looking at Dontavian Wicks, because obviously

206
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the production was not great just the two catches last week,

207
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: but he had seven targets. I mean, are we is

208
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: this a trust the process or is it just like

209
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: hey man, the results aren't what we wanted.

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: I think trust the process, like Vyum will always be

211
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: king to me man and Jordan Love is going back

212
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: to him. It's not like Jordan Love is getting frustrated

213
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: with some of those throws, and some of those throws

214
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 4: aren't really deon Tavian Wick's fault, you know, right now

215
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 4: is looking like he can't catch the ball. He's dropping everything.

216
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: But a lot of times these are difficult balls for

217
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: a young player to go out there and catch. So

218
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 4: when you really watch the film of him playing, and

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 4: it's like growing pain. So I think as the season

220
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: progresses and he gets these opportunities, Ryan will always ring

221
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: king in my book, and these will translate to fantasy

222
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: points eventually.

223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: All Right, So we are still on the Dantavian Wicks train,

224
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: still very curious to see what's going on with Romeo Dobbs.

225
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: That's it's a weird situation there when you know we

226
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: haven't heard much on the outside.

227
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: I get it though.

228
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: You know, on the Internet a lot of people saying

229
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 4: that he's not the sexiest fantasy pick. So it may

230
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: be a little bit of him just watching too much

231
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: of the internet right now.

232
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess I would hope that I would hope that,

233
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, I hope he wouldn't put a lot of

234
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: stock into what we say.

235
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: I think he realized, despite playing the most snaps, all

236
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: of the other three receivers get more targets when they're

237
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: on the field. Yeah, and he's probably not too happy

238
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: about that.

239
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: That frustration. I mean, I do get that frustration.

240
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: But you know, as a lot of really smart people

241
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: who watch a lot of really you watch a lot

242
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: of wide receiver tape have told me frequently, targets are

243
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: earned and not given, and at some point, if you're

244
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: not earning those opportunities, you know, maybe it's it's time

245
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: to sort of look at what you're doing and try

246
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: to figure out your own process a little bit.

247
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: That's just me. I just talk about fake football for

248
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: a living.

249
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Finally, last, but not least, we have to talk about

250
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: tight ends Floorio, because it's a thing that we have

251
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: to do. I'm sure it's probably the most depressing part

252
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: of your week having to write about tight ends. It

253
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: starts sitting. But yeah, please, if you could pull yourself

254
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: out of your adul drums, please help us.

255
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: It is second behind kickers.

256
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I do my start sip kickers.

257
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: Immediately because I'm like, I want to get that out

258
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: of the way. Tight Ends are usually the last position

259
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: I'd write about. But Brock Bowers I have as a

260
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: Mustard option movie. He leads you pick a category, he

261
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: probably leads tight ends in it. Right now, Dalton Kincaid,

262
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: because the Jets secondary so good at taking out wide

263
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: receivers that I think this and James Cook is banged

264
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: up right now, I think it's going to be a

265
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: Kincaid week. Kyle Pitts cam Wolf came out last week

266
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: and said they want to get into the ball more.

267
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: They then he had his second best game fantasy wise

268
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: in the last three years Panthers struggled against tight ends.

269
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: He brings upside, which is more than most tight ends

270
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: can say. Tucker Craft, I don't see how you get

271
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: away from him right now. In fact, in my home league,

272
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: I am strongly going back and forth between Tucker Craft

273
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: or Sam Laporta. That's where we are at right now

274
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: with him and then and then Since Mark Andrews and

275
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: Isaiah Likely last week was a step in the right

276
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: direction for them, but their usage was still far from ideal,

277
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 3: and the Commanders have not allowed a top ten tight

278
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: end this year. I want to take a wait and

279
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: see approach with Dalton Schultz. Week two was fun for

280
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: Hunter Henry, but his other four games combined are less

281
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: productive than that. And then Mike Koseki. There's just not

282
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: enough volume when t Higgins and Jamar Chaser out there. Uh.

283
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: But selfishly, I want to ask you guys, would you

284
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: play Tucker Craft or Sam Laporta tough one.

285
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: I might go Tucker Craft just because his t that's

286
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: what I'm leaning. Stucker Show has been a little bit

287
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: more consistent. Jameson Williams has just wrecked Sam Laporta's value

288
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: this year.

289
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: I think they figured out the new identity because the

290
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: number support like this offense is way better than it

291
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: was last season, like in some major categories, and you're

292
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: looking at it like, man, Sam Laporta is a great player,

293
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: but he's on the outside looking in right now with

294
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: like eleven percent target share right now, so he's not

295
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 4: that involved in the offense as he was last season.

296
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really might go Tucker Craft and maybe this

297
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: recency bias, but you know, it's all we got to do,

298
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: that's all we got to work on.

299
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this point, his last two games are better

300
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: than any game Laporta has had this year. It's not close.

301
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: No, it's really not.

302
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: So you mentioned Mike Gasiki as a sit and I

303
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: get it, the volume is not really there any deep

304
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: level interest in like an Eric All, who I feel

305
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: like it's going to maybe start a tight end takeover

306
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. I mean, I am, I look on my am,

307
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: I you know, am my nuts, Am I talking on

308
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: my head again about this or what?

309
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't think so.

310
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: I mean all the hype over to summer was about

311
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: how great Eric All was with but he was injured

312
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: so therefore we didn't really see much in the summer.

313
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: But I think the hype around him is true coming

314
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: out of college. You watch his college state. The dude's talented,

315
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: and I think he could go out there and contest

316
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: an opportunity to be the starter there or start a

317
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: turnover on Mike Koseki because we kind of seen what

318
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: Mike Koseki could be these last couple of seasons. But

319
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: more so, I think if there's going to be any

320
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: competition that tight end rum, Eric might be the guy

321
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: to take it over.

322
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I can sit here and tell you

323
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: about like scouting reports and you know, practice report, or

324
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: I could just tell you that he started at Michigan

325
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: and went to Iowa, like those are like two tight

326
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: end factories, right, Like at some point we're just like

327
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Iowa tight end. Sure, I'll draft him, like build them right,

328
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: So like Eric all Iowa tight end, Like at some

329
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: point you just wonder if that, you know, if he

330
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: starts to take over there in Cincinnati, because I sick.

331
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: He's been fine, but he's de Floyd, He's Mike the

332
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: SICKI at some point, too.

333
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: Big Jersey, I think you're onto something. Not but not

334
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: only with Eric All right, like like him, Theo Johnson. Uh,

335
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: these rookie tight ends, it takes a little bit. I

336
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: know Sam Laporter came out to gate firing last year,

337
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: but every other rookie tight end it's a slower build.

338
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: So we could see these rookies kind of take over

339
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: like Trey McBride did in the middle of the season

340
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: last year. So I'm not saying that these guys are

341
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: must adds, these rookie tight ends, but just something to

342
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: keep an eye on, especially given the state of the position.

343
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the point, we're sort of grasping at straws

344
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: and trying anything that we think is gonna Yeah, so

345
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: if you were in a deeper league, like I'm not

346
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: telling you if you're a tim team lead.

347
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: You're not.

348
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: You're not grabbing Eric All and playing him, but you're

349
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: in a deep league where tight end is already pretty thin.

350
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm Eric All, THEO Johnson watchless utilize it, yep.

351
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: A couple of names told in your back pocket that

352
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: might provide some dividends for you in the future. There

353
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,200
