Speaker 1: the latest fantasy news. Follow us at NFL Fantasy. Let's

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: kick it off with some headlines and number one. Matt

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Flynn is going to start against the Lions. The Packers

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: back up a place to struggle in Scott Tolzine. Last

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: week last time, Flynn started against the Lions, six touchdowns,

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: one pick, made about a zillion dollars thanks to his performance,

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: He's living off of one day. It's like playing the

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: lottery for the rest of his life. So I ask

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: you this, Elliott. Is Matt Flynn worth starting on Thanksgiving?

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: I think you can a minute. You're just absolutely sick

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: of r G three. Give me and Dud's play Matt Flynn.

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: You get fifteen to eighteen points. Here's what I like

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: about his matchup. He's gonna see those Lions helmets out there,

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna remember a day when he had his

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: best day of his life. You know that's confidence boosting,

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and as a quarterback in a profession NFL player, that's

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: what you're looking for. You want to walk out the

44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: field and feel like you own it. I think that

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn will be very good on Thanksgiving. Kind of

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: like looking back at your prompt pictures. Yeah, something like that.

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Mullet mullet, Yeah, I work to medieval times. Wow, t

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: M I from Elliott Harrison. How about the wide receivers?

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Who do you played with Matt Flynno, and Matt Flen's

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: gonna play quarterback? Dirty Nelson's a guy that you're gonna

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: have to start. The matchup is very good. Although the

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Troit Lions have been tough against opposing number one, why

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: don't you still gotta play him? Jared Boykin is a

54
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: good play. I hadn't even played James Jones as a

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: third wide receiver in a larger league. This is going

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: to be a shootout there. And with all the quarterbacks

57
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: that we've seen that people didn't really know or trust

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: who've had big games this year, why not Matt Flynn

59
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: why not? All right? Now, if you are watching games

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: Sunday from medieval times, and maybe that's where you watch

61
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: your game from, you will see Nick Foles played quarterback

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. Not only that, you will see

63
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: him play for the rest of the season, as he

64
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: has been named the starter for Philadelphia fans. This is

65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the best news because anyone who picked up Nick Foles

66
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: the guy pre us is now you know you're gonna

67
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: have him. You have to worry about a week sixteen.

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: We're going back to Michael fan and that's good for

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: him to he doesn't have to look over his shoulder,

70
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: so that's going to just increase his confidence. Now, the

71
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: matchup this week is is pretty tough against the Arizona Cardinals,

72
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: but they have given up an average of post to

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy points per game to quarterbacks on the road

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: this year. Nick Foles is locked in as a top

75
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: ten fantasy quarterback right now. I'm gonna have more on

76
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Folds later in the year, Jason, But you know this

77
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: decision for Chip Kelly, the name the started going forward,

78
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: that's a real tough question. It's kind of like should

79
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: I ever date Brooklyn Deckert? Do I ever want to

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: spend ten dollars seeing thirteen going on thirty again int

81
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: the theater? Really top question? Here start Nick Foles. Here

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: we go. Here's Nick Foles as the start of this

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: season in five games, thirteen touchdowns. Don't forget about his

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: five rushing touchdowns averaging twenty five fantasy points per game.

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: This is a guy who is a top since he

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: took over, is a top five fantasy quarterback. And he

87
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: has the three TVs when he wasn't starting as well,

88
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: So he's actually got sixteen touchdowns and no interceptions. Let's

89
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: move on. Raider's offensive coordinator Greg Olsen has confirmed the

90
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: team plans who stick with the quote hot hand of

91
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Rashad Jennings at running back Thursday against the Cowboys, even

92
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: though Darren McFadden is ready to return. The facts we

93
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: had heard that this is what's gonna happen because Jennings

94
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: has earned that right. Because he earned the right to

95
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: start on Thursday, he still has to play. The Cowboys

96
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: are awful against the run. I mean, we've seen that

97
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Henre Broun went off against it the game that that

98
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had in New Orleans, which which is abject disaster.

99
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Every running back in New Orleans had twenty Fantasy points,

100
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: including Deuce McAllister. They all had big time fantasy production.

101
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: You have to start Jennings right and Cowboys one a

102
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: middle linebacker Shawn Lee back by week third team, but

103
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: week their team falls on a Thursday. That's too quick.

104
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he plays for Shaw Jennings all right.

105
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree has been activated from the team's physically and

106
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: able to perform list the pup list on Tuesday. He

107
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: was placed on the list in August. Has been recovering

108
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: from an achilles injury. Crabtree expected to make his season

109
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: debut this weekend against the Rams. Can you just as

110
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: simple as saying, hey, he's great Colin Kaepernick. No, No,

111
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: you can't plug and play, not against the Rams, not

112
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: when he hasn't played at all. I'm not saying that

113
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: crab Tree won't give me any value going forward, but

114
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: what I feel confident when a lot of people FABS

115
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: need to win right now, I just don't think he

116
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: can even put him as a flex. Pick him up, yes,

117
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: stash him, yes, startom not right now. And remember, this

118
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: is a very difficult injury for a player to come back.

119
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: From Akbarbaja Bia Miller are pal Here on NFL Fantasy Life,

120
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: suffered the same injury during his career, and he said

121
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: it's really tough, one of the most difficult ones to

122
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: come back from. Stash him, don't start him just yet.

123
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: I could be potentially great news for Colin Kaepernick, who

124
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: has been up and down as a fantasy quarterback this year.

125
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: Take a look at what the offense looks like when

126
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree plays. When he plays with Colin Kaepernick ten games,

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: he gets almost ten targets a game, six catches, eight touchdowns,

128
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards a game. Does Michael Crabtree coming back

129
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: if you can't play him? Does this give you more

130
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: confidence in Kaepernick? It does give me more confidence in Kaepernick. Well,

131
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: not only because he's got such a great rapport with

132
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: with Crabtree, but defenses now have to pay attention to

133
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree. So he went from having Vernon Davis and

134
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: a Koon Bolden to now he's got Davis, he's got Bolden,

135
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: he's got Mario manning him, and now he's got Crabtree.

136
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: So now there's no excuses for him. Still no excuse.

137
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: It's still tough. You want to see how he returns,

138
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: how he plays with Michael Crabtree returning. Now, since this

139
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: week likely marks the final week of the fantasy football

140
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: regular season, there's a lot of people who need some advice,

141
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna take a moment to give some final

142
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: advice for the very big week you have coming up

143
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: as either you try to sneak into the playoffs or

144
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: hold on to the seed that you've already clinched. So

145
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: fab what tip do you have for this week? Easy,

146
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: stick with your studs, stick with the players who got

147
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: you where you are. Because the fact of the matter is,

148
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: if you go out and bench a guy, for example,

149
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: like a Tom Brady, which I've done maybe once or

150
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: twice during the regular season, and then he puts up

151
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: a big number in your replacement for him, doesn't that's

152
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: gonna kill you the whole rest of the off season.

153
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Why did I sit Tom Brady? That happened to me

154
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: last week with Philip Rivers. I benched him, I played

155
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. I lost in that league because of the

156
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: decisions I did that. Eli Manning, never again, never in

157
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: any Eli Manning, Elliott, what's your tip? All Right's really simple, guys,

158
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 1: have fun. Half Fantasy football is supposed to be fun.

159
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: So when your team has six guys, I'll go on.

160
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: I r have fun. Enjoyed going the waiver wire. It's

161
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: great picking up Willis McGahee. See, I'm gonna go this

162
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: way so you can cool off a little bit here before.

163
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're not working needivial times. You have all

164
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: that weaponry around this old swords. He sold swords. That's

165
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: tough to say, you sold swords. See shehell ceashells by

166
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: the seashore. Uh. Don't pick anyone up off the waiver

167
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: wire and play him this week, all right there you.

168
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: I know Brandon Bolden is a nice pick up Tam Stashum,

169
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: but don't sit here and say, oh, man, I missed

170
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: out on fifteen points from t Y Hilton or Danny

171
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Amendola because I thought I could pick up a guy

172
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and plug him and play him off the waiver wire.

173
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Play with the guys you have been playing well the

174
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: last four or six weeks. Don't grab somebody and throw

175
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: him right into what's the biggest week of the regular season.

176
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: So please listen to that advice and keep Elliot away

177
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: from what you wrung you that's what you're saying. And

178
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: back to the prom analogy. We've come full circle. That's

179
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: right there we go from born. Now let's throw it

180
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: over to Molly Karam and Marcus Grant, who looked like

181
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: a very nice lee dressed prom couple. Thank you. I'm

182
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: going to complete the circle, my fan see tip for

183
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison no mullets while playing fantasy, just saying a

184
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: thirteen on thirty reference and a Medieval Times reference. We

185
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: need a color me bad in here, right, those guys work.

186
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: You guys have me have me laughing quite a bit,

187
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, Molly Careram. Here with our NFL

188
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: dot Com Fantasy editor, Marcus Grant, and we're going to

189
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: take a look at the top player ads on NFL

190
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: dot Com for week thirteen, the people that have been fasting. Marcus,

191
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: and let's start with Zack's um Let's start with Benny Cunningham,

192
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: with Zach Stacy sideline, the undrafted rookie's been filling in nicely.

193
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: It's the Niners this week. Yeah, and I think that's

194
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: the cause for concerned. One of the biggest conference concern

195
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: is not knowing what the status of Zach Stacy is

196
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: going to be Benny Cunningham has looked great though in

197
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: relief yet thirteen carries a hundred nine yards last weekend

198
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: relief against the Bears. He's been averaging more than nine

199
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry in his last couple of games. So

200
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: when he's on the field and getting his touches, he's

201
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: been fantastic. But you really worry whether or not he's

202
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: going to get those touches this this week. If Zach

203
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: Stacy's back, plus Niners defense is really nothing to joke

204
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: around with. Another rookie San Diego receiver Keenan Allen has

205
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: really become Philip rivers number one target at this point.

206
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: He absolutely has. He has seen thirty four targets in

207
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. That's more than anybody on that

208
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: charges roster. He's leading the team and catches and yards

209
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: over the last month or so. And I know a

210
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: lot of people were down on him because he had

211
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: a couple of bad weeks exercise patients. Now people are

212
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: running back to the wave wire to pick him up.

213
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: This guy's been here all year long. You just gotta

214
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: believe this week the matchup maybe not so great, but

215
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: going forward, it looks really good for Keenan Allen. All right,

216
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: let's go to the most drop now, the guys that

217
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: are looking for the lust overs, non for that last

218
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: little bit of turkey soon. What I'm trying to do here?

219
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: I see? Okay, could you at least give me a

220
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: sympathy smile? All right, let's start with Kenny Stills New Orleans.

221
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Is you know, spread the wealth offense? Does he have

222
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: any value at this point? Right now? It's really tough

223
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: to trust Kenny Stills. His schedule going forward is not

224
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: particularly favorable. And it's like playing roulette when you're dealing

225
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: with Saints wide receivers. You never know who's gonna be.

226
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: Is he going to be Lance more Marcus Coast than

227
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe Kinney Stills. I think the other thing with Stills

228
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: is he is so much of a home run threat.

229
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a lot of targets. He's not

230
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of reception. So if he

231
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get you that long touchdown catch, when you're not

232
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: getting a whole lot out of him BLUs As I mentioned,

233
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: the schedule is not good. I think at this point

234
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: you look for help elsewhere. Jericho Cattrey at the kid's

235
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: table and he is starving, held without a catch in

236
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: week twelve. What do we do with him at this point? Yeah,

237
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I think it's another guy that you said goodbye to,

238
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Happy holidays to Jericho Contrey and send him on his way.

239
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: No touchdowns in his last seven meetings and seven career meetings,

240
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: I could say against the Baltimore Ravens. And he's another

241
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: guy who's kind of feast or famine right now. The

242
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: table is looking pretty barren for Jericho Catre. It's another

243
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: guy that I think you put on the waiver wire. Yeah,

244
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: maybe we should wish a merry one happy holidays of

245
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: going further because he might be done. You could take

246
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: a plate on his way out. All right, Coming up,

247

Speaker 1: and this is happenings a handsome general. Welcome back to

254
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, the official Fantasy football show of the NFL.

255
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Molly Carem here with Elliot Harrison, Michael Fabiana and Tom

256
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the Turkey and guys getting in the holiday spirit of Thanksgiving.

257
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some fantasy turkeys, so meaning these are

258
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: guys that you need to consider sitting this week. Let's

259
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: start with quarterbacks and especially focus on Eli Manning. Why

260
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: are you sitting him against the Skin's defense? This is

261
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: a great matchup on paper. The Redskins defense has been

262
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: just playing arl and we saw that on Monday Night

263
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: against Colin Kaepernick. But look at Eli Manning's numbers against

264
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. One touchdown pass or less in sixteen

265
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: of seventeen career meetings against the Washington Redskins, plus passing

266
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: yards just twice in seventeen career meetings against the Redskins.

267
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: This has more to do with the fact that he

268
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: just playing doesn't do well against Washington than it does

269
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: with Washington's lack of a past defense this season, Yeah,

270
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: struggling against a divisional opponent. Here's a look at Eli

271
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Manning's last four games against the Redskins. Not quite the

272
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: stuff fantasy owners can feast on. Two touchdowns, six interceptions,

273
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: with an average of just barely ten Fantasy points a game. Now, Elliott,

274
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: explain this to me. Nick Foles just officially named the starter.

275
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: You're calling him a fantasy turkey. I am because I

276
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: don't want fourteen fantasy points and I don't think telling

277
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: me the turkey digs my nachos right now. But I

278
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: want to tell you you don't want You don't want

279
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: fourteen fantasy points on your holiday? Do you? And I'll

280
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: tell you why you don't and why you're gonna get it.

281
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Because he's playing the Arizona Cardinals. That's not an easy matchup.

282
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are winning right now mostly on the strength

283
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: of their defense. They have a good secondary. They also

284
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: have twenty three takeaways. So Nick Foles, who hasn't thrown

285
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: any interceptions, and that's why it's been so valuable for

286
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: You're not getting those dreaded minus two because the Cardinals,

287
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to have two turnovers, give him a fall

288
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: the loss and an interception. I'm not saying he's gonna

289
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: be awful. Fabs, Do you want four teen points from

290
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: your fantasy starter? I don't. Typically I think folks can

291
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: do better than that. But you're right, this is a

292
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,119
Speaker 1: very tough start. No, we want a feast on Thanksgiving.

293
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: We do want a feast. Okay, let's continue with this

294
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: and the Turkey theme with the running back position, which

295
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: running backs are going to see stuffing. I wouldn't even

296
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: give Stephen Ridley Cranberry sauce alright for Thanksgiving. Fumble it

297
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: onto the ground. He has lost three fumbles in his

298
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: last three games, and right now he is in the

299
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: doghouse in New England. I'd rather play Shane Breen. I'd

300
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: even rather play Brandon Bolden. This has nothing to do

301
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: with the matchup against the Texans and everything to do

302
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: with the fact that Bill Belichick doesn't trust Steven readily

303
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: because Elliott he's a fumbler. Yeah, you know how much

304
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick likes running backs and put the ball in

305
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: the carpet about as much as FABS likes me, saying,

306
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: said Kobe Flaner. But we'll get to that one in

307
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: a minute. Right now, let's talk a little m J

308
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: We call that a tease in the business. Yet they

309
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: also have Bolden and Blood. Yeah, let's talk about m

310
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: v D. We're not even certain that the team will

311
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: sign the soon to be free agent next season. Yeah,

312
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: I just don't like the match up here. I mean

313
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, they're having their their struggles this season,

314
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: but it's not the defensive side of the ball. In fact,

315
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: they're only allowing ninety eight rushing yards for game, and

316
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: they're allowing three point four yards per carrious. So if

317
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: m J. Dean is not gonna touchdown for you, he's

318
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: not gonna have much fancy value. I see about a

319
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: give him a five, five six point game. You need

320
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: more from your running back or flex spot fabs. Is

321
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: this other Jags player going to eat on Thanksgiving week?

322
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Cecil Short? He is going to be starving because Joe

323
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Hayden is going to be all over him. And that

324
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: is Cecil Shorts. This is a guy who has no

325
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six straight games, less than nine fantasy points

326
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: in each of his last five games, and Joe hay

327
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be a little ticked off

328
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: over the fact that Antonio Brown got the best of

329
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: him last week. Cecil Shorts. On your bench, Turkey, Turkey

330
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: Elliott last week. Eric Decker targeted just four times in

331
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: the passing game. This week against the Chiefs. Will he

332
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: eat even less? I think he's gonna eat less. And

333
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just glad I'm not having to start

334
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and except I am. Eric Decker is playing against Kansas

335
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, which is a little better matchup now that

336
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: they have injuries on their pass rush fabs. But here's

337
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: the deal, Eric Decker hasn't gotten you a touchdown since

338
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: October twenty October. It's week seven, Okay, I'm tired of

339
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: putting in my lineup and seeing five point to It's great,

340
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: you're a true professional. It's hard for me to focus

341
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: right now. I agree Brown either, no, you are all right.

342
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to some tight ends fantasy turkeys guys that

343
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: it will not be gravy for moving ahead. And let's

344
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: start with justin Jared Cook here. He really hasn't been

345
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: doing much and no change with Sam Bradford not at quarterback. Well,

346
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: he had a really good game last week. But I

347
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: don't want people to chase the fantasy points with Jared

348
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: Cook because now he's got to play the San Francisco

349
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They've given up the fewest fantasy points to

350
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: tight ends this season. No receiving touchdowns for tight ends

351
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. Hey, Jared Cook good and

352
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: week one hadn't been since then good last week. I

353
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: am avoiding him at all costs. I would rather play

354
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, Elliot, Jared Cook won't be cooking well, Kobe Cleaner,

355
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleiner. I don't like him. I I love your

356
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: phrase of chasing fantasy points. Yes, he had a hundred

357
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: yard game, but how often is Kobe Fleaner gonna get

358
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: you a hundred yards? You need the touchdown and Tennessee

359
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: does not give up passing touchdowns. They've given up eight

360
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: this season. Eight. We're weeks thirteen. Man, that's the lowest

361
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: in the league. In fact, you know who else wanted

362
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: to check in on this segment. I'm a woman, But

363
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: that's okay, the fantasy predator, I think. Really, yeah, I

364
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: haven't heard of it. I didn't know. Maybe he'll recap

365
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: board here right now. Of all the fantasy turkeys this week,

366
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you aren't petting the turkey, aren't you? Molly? All right?

367
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: We got Eli Manning, Nick Pole, Stephen Ritually, I'm ignoring

368
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: you and j G cecil Shorts. I can't bounce him

369
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: on my shoulder like Elliot and on the skills Eric Decker,

370
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Cook and Beats Leaner. Uh still to come on

371
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Which stars need to be riding the

372
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: pine this weekend and which underperformers are must starts. Find

373
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: out next with Michael Fabiano, because all it starts and

374
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: sits for week thirteen turkeys attacking me? Plus who are

375
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: the sleepers that will await this weekend and be the

376
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: difference between you watching the fantasy playoffs for fun or

377
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: watching with a chance to rise like a champion. More

378
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live after this took around, Welcome back to

379
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Jameson Smith here with our own Fantasy

380
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano. You would just pick all quarterbacks,

381
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: all running backs, all wide receivers. You wouldn't know. No

382
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: lineman would go, no kickers, no defense, It's just all skill. Guys.

383
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Do they play defense in the Pro Bowl? I mean

384
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: they know? Do they really do? You got to get

385
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: in on that. You gotta help those guys draft. Listen.

386
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm working on it, Smith, all right, You're working on

387
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: it every wednes that you reveal all your starts and

388
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: sits for the week. So let's start with the quarterbacks

389
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: four week thirteen. These are Michael Fabiano's recommendations of who

390
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: to putt in your lineup and then you can sit down.

391
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Philip Rivers back in the good

392
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: graces after a big breakout performance last week. He had

393
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: been slowed for a while. Andy Dalton, who has tremendous

394
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: playoff matchups and fantasy pick up Andy Dalton if he can.

395
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: Your sleeper is Josh McCown against Minnesota. But fabs, you know,

396
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: you look at this list. They see names like Rivers

397
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: and guys on here, and I think, boy, some names

398
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: don't belong. And then you see Tony Romo, who's always

399
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: good on thanksgat He's always good on Thanksgiving in six

400
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: games on Turkey Day, seventeen touchdowns, just six interceptions. Great

401
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: matchup against the Raiders. They have a lot of the

402
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: second most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the last four weeks.

403
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: So despite the fact that Romo hasn't been that great

404
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: over his last two games, I am still starting him,

405
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: especially on Turkey Day. Yes, some traditions you have to

406
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: you have to hear by, and this is one of them.

407
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: That's one of them. What about the tradition of Ben

408
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger being worth being started in Fantasy. I would not

409
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: played Ben Roethlisberger. I know he's been better in recent weeks,

410
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: but the Ravens have allowed the third few Fantasy points

411
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks on their home field. And look at Roethlisberger's

412
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: numbers against the Ravens. Not good. Five touchdowns, twelve turnovers

413
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: in five career road games in Baltimore. I'm sitting Ben Roethlisberger.

414
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the running backs now FADS

415
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: recommendations for here in Week thirteen. Rashaw Jennings. Yes, I

416
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: know that Darren McFadden is gonna play, but look, as

417
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders said, Rashaw Jennings has earned this no matter

418
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: what the health status of Darren McFadden is. Andre Brown,

419
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson. He got Chris Ivory against Miami, sleeper Lord

420
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Donald Brown against Tennessee. But perhaps Fred Jackson at some

421
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: point We've gotta see C. J. Spiller, right, Well, you

422
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: might be able to start both of these guys. The

423
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: matchup is dad good. I see Freddy has more of

424
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: an RV two and Spiller is a risk reward flex.

425
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: This is a great matchup. Atlanta has allowed the third

426
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running backs on the road this year. Now,

427
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Freddie Jackson hasn't been great over the last six weeks,

428
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: but he does have a Russian touchdown and three of

429
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: his we're games against the NFC. Now you can say

430
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: it's it's not risk reward for Spiller. It's just risk.

431
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: It's risk. The reward is that he's playing Atlanta. That's

432
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: the reward, all right. Bobby Rady burst on the scene

433
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: two weeks ago with a great game, not so much

434
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: last week. Look, we knew Fabs coming down the stretch.

435
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: His schedule was going to be very difficult. It's all

436
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: about the matchups, and this week is not a good

437
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: one against the Panthers. They've allowed the fourth fewest fantasy

438
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: points of running backs to this season and only three

439
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, that second fewest in the National Football League.

440
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: So kudos if you picked Bobby Rady up off of waivers,

441
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: don't start him this week. Some guys you just have

442
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: to be patient until the playoffs start that you can

443
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: get him back in your lineup. Philip rivers a guy

444
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: and talk about him. That's one of guy that that

445
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: falls into that category. Wide receivers. We go here now

446
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: and fabs wide receivers. The last couple of weeks, we've

447
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: seen some big numbers from guys like Josh Gordon, Antonio Brown.

448
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: They've really become top five players over the last couple

449
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: of weeks, no data, and especially Josh Gordon. This is

450
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: the guy you have to get in your lineup. Harry Douglas,

451
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd, Jared Voykan at wide receiver. Start these guys.

452
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: Player you want to sit Marcus Colston in Seattle. T

453
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Y Hilton's a risk against Tennessee Cecil Shorts on Hayden

454
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Island and my sleepers. Kind of right, Let's get back

455
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: to Josh Gordon. This is a kid who has led

456
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: all wide receivers in Fantasy points over the last two weeks.

457
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal. He's playing the Jaguars this week. Yeah,

458
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They did hold Andre Johnson and check last week,

459
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: but at this point Josh Gordon is a superior wide receiver.

460
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: Get him in your lineup. Tory Smith, who has had

461
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: a nice season, not a break up, but a nice season.

462
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Is a sixth week. It's all about the match up here.

463
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Tory Smith has fewer than seventy five receiving yards and

464
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: each of his five career meetings against the Steelers one

465
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in those games as well. So as much as

466
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: I like Tory Smith, the guy is a great player

467
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: and he's having a very good season. If you have

468
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: depth out wide receiver, well Tory Smith should be on

469
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: your bench. So this isn't a straits that this is

470
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: if you have other options exactly, the numbers just don't

471
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: really paying out here for Tory Smith having a big game.

472
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: By one of the big mysteries and fantasy this year,

473
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: FABS has come to it from the tight end position.

474
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: You see Jordan Cameron get back in the big swing

475
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: of things is playing the Jaguars. Why not you say

476
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars and think this is it? Greg Olson, Martella s Bennett,

477
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: you're sleeper Brent Selick. But here's Kobe Fleaner who Fabs.

478
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't get it. The guy is a top five

479
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: tight end. In the last three weeks he's been fantastic

480
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: and in his last game against the Tennessee Titans, he

481
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: had eight catches a hundred seven yards. He has eight

482
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: or more fantasy points in four of his last five weeks,

483
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: and he's still available in a lot of leagues on

484
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Now, I know some of these things

485
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: are probably dead, but I don't think sixty leagues are

486
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: dead right now on any platform. If Fleaner is available,

487
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: please pick them up and started if you need a

488
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: tight end. And you know when when Reggie Wayne went out,

489
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: you saw it was a direct result of the targets

490
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: that we're going to Wayne are now going to Kobe

491
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Fleaner and simply took a little while, but this guy's

492
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: becoming an elite tight end, could be a weekly top

493
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: five guy before a long and Antonio Gates started out

494
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: pretty good this year FABS, but not this week. Yeah, Lately,

495
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates has not been as good. One receiving touchdown

496
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: in his last four games at home and fewer than

497
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: seventy five yards in seven straight games. And the Bengals

498
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: are just tough on tight ends. They have allowed the

499
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: eighth fewest fantasy points in the position this season. You're

500
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: seeing a little bit more of the Darius Green there

501
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: in that rotation. So Antmates is probably a low end

502
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: tight end one this week, but temper your expectations. This

503
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: Bengals defense is going to hold him in check right now,

504
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a look at some defenses that we

505
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: like and and this is how when you talk about

506
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: the matchups being so important, it's not often we say

507
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: start the Cowboys defense, but this week, start the Cowboys defense.

508
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: This is where fantasy and reality are very different. On

509
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: the field. The Cowboys defense stinks. You want to start

510
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: your players against them. They're that bad. But what do

511
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: they do, Jason. They sacked the quarterback and they force turnovers,

512
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: and that's good news against a Raiders offense that has

513
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: really struggled outside of John L. Jennis playing well, and

514
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: you've still got an inexperienced quarterback in Matt McGloin under center.

515
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are a very good playing There's

516
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these you've got, like the Miami Dolfins

517
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: against the Jets, the Cleveland Browns against the Jaguars, the

518
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: Patriots against the Texans. But the Cowboys are a good

519
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: one as well are the Chiefs defense, which all year

520
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: long has been start of their matchup proof the last

521
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: two weeks. Now it's not just one week, it's a

522
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They've proven they're not not jump. You

523
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: want to talk about a Turkey. Negative three Fantasy points

524
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: last week for the Chiefs, and they have scored four

525
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: or fewer Fantasy points and three of their last four games.

526
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: The last time they play the Broncos, which was a

527
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, they only scored six Fantasy points.

528
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: The Chief's defense has gone from hero to zero very quickly.

529
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 1: That was Vanilla Ice, I think right and cool as

530
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Ice drive. You're ever listen. No is he In Motley Crue,

531
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: no van Halen Metallica. He's in none of those groups.

532
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: Still to come. The miseducation of Michael Fabiano's musical tastes.

533
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: The NFL tradition of football on Thanksgiving continues. So we're

534
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: gonna give you a full preview of all the games

535
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: so you can set you're a lot of It's a

536
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: huge week. We'll take care of you. This is NFL Fantasy.

537
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: You can ride on the wild side. Smith, Welcome back

538
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. Molly Carrom joined by Elliot Harrison

539
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant. There in the middle of the staring contest. Meanwhile,

540
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I have business to get to a gentlemen. One of

541
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: the hottest names. Guys. You have to have analysis in

542
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: a segment name he's trending on Fantasy Genius is Philip Rivers.

543
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: He's been up and down all season, but still the

544
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: fourth highest scoring quarterback in Fantasy the season. Do you

545
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: trust him moving forward? Twenty seven point eight points last week, Elliott? Yeah, absolutely.

546
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: I've been saying for weeks on this show. Every Wednesday,

547
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, go get this guy. When we did the

548
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: trade deadline, Marcus, I said, go get Philip Rivers. And

549
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: it's all because of his remaining scheduled and when you

550
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: look at it, it doesn't lay out any better. Okay,

551
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: he's got a semi tough game this weekend. I think

552
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: he gets seventeen points versus Bagals. I'm not talking about

553
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Week thirteen, Week fourteen Giants, Week uh fifteen, Broncos, Week

554
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: sixteen Raiders. Two of those three games are at home, Molly.

555
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't lay out any better than that. Giants can't

556
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: stop anybody, the Broncos getting shootouts, the Raiders they don't

557
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: have a great secondary either. Why not play Philip Rivers

558
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: going forward? Marcus? Yeah? What he said, Okay, thank you

559
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: for that staring con test and what he said. All right,

560
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: here's Philip Rivers remaining schedule. As Elliott just alluded to,

561
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: he has three four hundred yard games so far. The

562
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: only person to have four games was Dan Marino in four.

563
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: How about them apples. Meanwhile, we need to move on

564
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: because it's my favorite time of the week. It's time

565
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: now for Engineer to win for them by Volkswagen. This

566
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: is when we put one thirty on the clock and

567
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: then what do we do watter? All right, We're gonna

568
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: go through as many Fantasy Genius questions as we can

569
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: submit it by you, the fans, So feel free to

570
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: log on and do that. You ready, guys, let's first

571
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: one top Fantasy player on Thanksgiving? Marcus. I love go

572
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo just because traditionally he's been very good

573
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. I think they're gonna throw the ball around

574
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he spreads it around. Dez Bryant,

575
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: Jason Witt and all these guys get something like Romo

576
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: a lot, you know what. I like Dez Bryant. I

577
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: think des Brian is gonna be the recipient. He's been

578
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: a little bit down. Des Brian explodes on Thanksgivings. So

579
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: two cowboys, all right, who will be the biggest sleeper

580
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Before we get to that, I just

581
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: want to put it. We have music. Now we're upgraded.

582
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: This is fantastic party, go ahead. Biggest sleeper of the week.

583
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: I think the biggest sleeper of the week is going

584
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: to be Jared Boynton. He's a guy who sees a

585
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: lot of targets. He seemed to have a rapport with Whoever.

586
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: The quarterback is going to be, probably Matt Flynn. I

587
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: like him a lot and a great and a great matchup,

588
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: you know. I like The Cowboys defense is somebody that

589
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: FABS has talked about. They do get the turnovers. The

590
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense has been lousy in reality. Let's be honest.

591
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: You start all your guys against them, but they can't

592
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: get fantasy points. They will get over double digit. Better

593
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: start Rashad Jennings against the Cowboys or Jamarco Murray versus

594
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I'm going Rashad Jennings. I think even with

595
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden there, I think I think he still sees

596
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of carries. Me too, Richard Jennings. I like

597
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: the touches and again, the Cowboys defense not fit. Better

598
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: start Philip Rivers against the Bengals or Russell Wilson versus

599
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: the Saints. I'm going Russell Wilson on this one. I

600
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: know the Saints have been tough, but Jabari Greer being

601
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: ding them I think I think will help him. On

602
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: It's not Halloween. Rivers gets seventeen, Russell Wilson gets fourteen. Okay,

603
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: better start Jordan Cameron versus the Jabbars or Kobe Fleaner

604
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: against the Titans. I'm going Fleanner. He's getting all the

605
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: targets that Reggie wayn It have gotten when he was there.

606
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: I like Jordan Cameron because he's been down a few

607
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: weeks in the matchup against that Jake's secondary. I love it, gentlemen.

608
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you, but that's the last.

609
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. We're done. Yeah, time to go eat

610
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: we do. That was fantastic, all right? That was engineered

611
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: to win bi Volkswagen for some week thirteen Fantasy sleepers. Now,

612
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: let's throw it over to my friend Adam Rank. Hey, everybody,

613
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Adam Rank here, and every week I give you my

614
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: top sleepers. A little column I like to call Ranks eleven.

615
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: You can check that out at NFL dot com slash

616
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: ranks eleven. But you for you find folks at home,

617
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: why don't I give you a little taste right now.

618
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: And as you see, there are some quarterbacks on the

619
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: list because Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler are not expected

620
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: to play, and unfortunately our G three is expected to play,

621
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: So you probably need some help with the position some

622
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: other guys. A lot of running backs on the list.

623
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: There's even a tight end down there, Rob Housler is

624
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: sneaking onto this list. But I will start with the

625
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: running backs. And here is the question. Can you believe

626
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: in Brandon Bolden? Well, yes you can. While it's true

627
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: we will never truly know what's going on in the

628
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: mind of Bill Belichick. I do know three things that

629
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: he hates sleeves, Tom Coughlin, and running backs who fumble

630
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: the football. So Bolden will be back in the mix

631
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: against the Texans. School have allowed the eighth most points

632
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy running backs over the last two weeks. Now,

633
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: if you need a receiver, look no further than Michael Floyd,

634
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: who has finally started to relish his position opposite Larry Fitzgerald.

635
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's impossible not to. That would be like

636
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: starring opposite George Clooney. And not becoming a star. Oh wait,

637
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: that's right, Chris o'donald did kind of fizzle after Batman

638
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: and Robin. Well, don't worry about that. Floyd is a

639
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: great start against the Eagles, who have allowed the most

640
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: points to receivers this year. And if you want to

641
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: get into the holiday spirit, how about a little love

642
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: for Jared Boykin. At some point you have to acknowledge

643
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: what he's been doing. He's been consistent in recent week.

644
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: He gets targeted a ton and the matchup is a

645
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: pretty good one. The Lions do a pretty good job

646
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: against number one receivers, but it's the number two guys.

647
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: It always seemed to run free. Look at what Underwood

648
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: did last week for the Kevin a Buccaneers. I expect

649
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Boykin to do that again on Thursday. So there you are.

650
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Those are ranks eleven sleepers. Now, if you want a

651
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: truly deep sleeper, a defense that is so obscure you

652
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: might not have even realized his team is still in

653
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: the league, Well you can go to NFL dot com

654
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: slash ranks eleven and check that out. And that's it

655
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: for me. That's what I call it. Tease. Adam Rank

656
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: coming up next, the doctor is in. I don't know.

657
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: That guy looks like he has some heavy lifting to do.

658
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: He is overwhelmed by a fantasy enthusiast that is next.

659
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: Trust me, you don't want to miss that today on

660
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: It All New, Dr Philliate, Dr Philiate. I am just

661
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: at the end of my rope. I'm a fantasy quarter.

662
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: It feels good to say it. At least. I want

663
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: to collect as much on as I can. But I

664
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: can never pick the right guys from my lineup. One

665
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: guy's in, one guy's out. I'm sitting and I can't

666
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: even see it all on one page. I get so

667
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: overwhelmed with the clutter and the stats, but I can't

668
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: help myself. But that's not all. I keep picking up

669
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: random players. Sometimes middle of the night, I'll do it.

670
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: Some guys haven't been in the league in years. I

671
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: actually started tight as young in one of my league's

672
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: last week. Doctor. You have to help me. I look

673
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: like a college basketball coach at the end of the game,

674
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: all slovenly and exhausted. What can I do? All that more?

675
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: Coming up? All right? Everybody? Hey, hey, you good to

00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: I want to welcome our guest today's show. Got let

680
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: her here from Jason Smith is having a little bit

681
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: of problems, a little bit of what we call f

682
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: fantasy and security. Jason, thanks for coming on harder. Well,

683
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: thanks Dr. Thank you helping me with my problems. So

684
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: I say that you're a little slov and ly, but

685
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: you look good for us. But watch your video, read

686
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: your letter, and uh, you're having a few problems. I'm

687
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: a hoarder. I keep trying to pick up people and

688
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: keep them on my roster. My roster is illegal half

689
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: the time. I have like eight tight ends on my

690
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: roster at all times. I just don't know who to start.

691
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: I keep picking them up and playing picking them up. Hey,

692
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: calm now, you can't read seward or ducking with wet hands, Jason. Okay,

693
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: so you just need to find a tied end, right, yes,

694
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Jason, We're gonna handle this for you. Now.

695
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: We have a lot to sort through here, scoring points,

696
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: finding a tight end, a good matchup, and your complete

697
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: lack of composure. I'm gonna tell you right now, this

698
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: is a turkey shoot. Three problems putting a hit on

699
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: your fantasy team at once. It's got nothing to do

700
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: with anything else. But you can't get a quail with

701
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: a pie shooter. Jason' tell you that right now. That's

702
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: why you see this piece of video on your TV

703
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: at home, you're in your living room. You gotta play

704
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen. Don't play him coause of jealousy, you know,

705
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Jason the blonde locks. I understand you and I push

706
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: off the same dock on now. And partner we all

707
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: like to have is here. You want his fantasy numbers

708
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: and a Shiano. He's gonna have all the victory formation

709
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: he could stump. I hope so because I played Telling

710
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: Winslow and Jeff crumbl into my flex last week. And

711
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: what is it that you're worried about? I mean, why,

712
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: why don't you just go in there and you click

713
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: a minute? I mean, I see all this video of you.

714
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: You know you had a sippy cup. I think in

715
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: one of those little things that we saw there. I mean,

716
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: what's the problem. I just can't decide. I have all

717
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: these I know you know that all these experts are

718
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: telling me, here's what to do, here's what not to do.

719
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: With the experts confuse me sometimes. All right, all right,

720
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: let me start with this out for you. Which defense

721
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: should you start? I'm gonna tell you right now which

722
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: defense you should start. Okay, what you got here is

723
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: how you view yourself and the looking glass self, the

724
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: classic paradox in psychology. Let me tell you what that means.

725
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Quick looking at your fancy team through Canadian whiskey glass, Jason,

726
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Dr Philip, it's gonna bottom line this deal. Play the Browns.

727
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: I keep seeing the sleepy Hollow promos on Sunday. I'll

728
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: tell you the Jags and the Jets are the headless

729
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: horsemen out there. That's what we call segue. Play the

730
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins to get yourself some picks and call of today.

731
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: That's a plus two and standard NFL dot Com League

732
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: scoring plus two for you, your spouse and your fantasy team.

733
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: All Right, but you're telling me to play two defenses, Jason,

734
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: if you see a fork in the road taking But

735
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: but I can only play one of those two. Now,

736
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: I say in your letter here that you got a

737
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. Good matchup, good quarterback, bad matchup. Tell me

738
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: about that. Well, guys like Andrew Luck I have, Philip

739
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Rivers I have, and they have bad matchups this week,

740
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna get a lot of fantasy points.

741
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Is a big week, final week before in the playoffs,

742
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: so I need to put some guys in there. We're

743
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: gonna get me fantasy points. Are you what are you

744
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: in insurance sales? Uh no? I host a TV show,

745
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy Lot. I thought, so, Smith, you gotta tap the

746
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: brakes on the wine and slam them on the Warrior

747
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: and quit thinking about what the fantasy experts say. It's

748
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 1: a trap. The geno Smith looking fella and the little

749
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Italian guy drows the eighties seven I rock forget the

750
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: those guys play Josh mccount Call of Today. By the way, Hey,

751
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: seven was a good year for the Irock reminds me

752
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: of Keena McCardell. You play him. He hasn't been in

753
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: the league in like six years. He was just finished

754
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. I met keenan Allen. She don't play

755
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: him either. Hey, bad matchup, account, good matchup, Wilson, bad matchup.

756
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: Don't listen to these network guys. A couple of more

757
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: born on third base? Think they hit a triple? But

758
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: how do you get on third if you don't? Hey, listen,

759
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,879

Speaker 1: full preview. Who you need to start? Who you need

773

Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day schedule. Things kick off the Packers and the Lions,

777
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn at quarterback for Green Bay, and that one

778
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Cowboys. Despite the potential return of Darren McFadden,

779
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: Roshan Jenning is still the number one running back there

780
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: and open and Steelers and the Ravens. Let's see how

781
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: many wildcat plays the Ravens wind up running on Thanksgiving Night.

782
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live is the official fantasy football show of

783
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. Jason Smith alongside Michael Fabiano and Marcus Grant. Now,

784
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: before we get to some fantasy analysis for Thursday's games,

785
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: let's throw it to our meteorologist Jim Kosk at ABC

786
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: four in Salt Lake City for the Turkey Day forecast. Jim, Well, Jason, Michael,

787
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: and Marcus. While I always come prepared for football and eating,

788
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: if you are not, may I suggest going deep as

789
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: in deep fried. That's your best bet because listen up,

790
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: Mother Nature. Massive storm system al on the East Coast,

791
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: just drilling cold air down in from Canada. What could

792
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: that possibly mean? Well, flurries for your tailgating festivities outside

793
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: of Ford Field, inside your comfy sixty nine for crying

794
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: out loud. That's not bad, but there is a ton

795
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: of sunshine down the road in the Big d I

796
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: have trouble calling this a T and T Stadium. It's

797
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: ben Cowboy Stadium for a good jillion years. Nonetheless, forty

798
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: nine hey, Penn State are coming to town right there,

799
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: and Matt mcgloyn. We'll see how he does right there.

800
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: Got to give him a shout out. Meanwhile, at M

801
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: ANDT Bank Battle of five and six teams, weather not

802
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: really a factor because well, you live in the North

803
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: or Feast, you expect the cold and it's actually not

804
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: going to be nearly as harsh. That being said, though,

805
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: come Sunday, we are watching Cold Air in Cleveland, New York,

806
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: well New Jersey, Philadelphia, and also on the opposite coast

807
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: as we get some Dome teams and some Cold Air

808
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: teams coming on in. So that being said, guys, I

809
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: know we have more coming up on these Turkey Day matchups,

810
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: but please a little quiet time because it's the tripped

811
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: and dude trip, the trip whatever nap time. Guys. Alright, thanks,

812
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Alex, you're back tripped to fan. I'm sorry,

813
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: trip defense select again. He carves me up some dark meat.

814
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: That's that's what you know. When the Cowboys and Raiders

815
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: getting in the middle of that fields a very good

816
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: head of fabs. Fabs could be a meteorologist as well.

817
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about these Thanksgiving Dames now, starting with

818
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: the Packers and the Lions. Look, you're gonna start Eddie

819
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: Lacey in this one. You're gonna start Matthew Stafford. But

820
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: a couple of questions out there. The first one is

821
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: Jared Boykin. Are you starting him this week? Mr? Hat Uh?

822
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: You know what? I Am starting Jared Boyken this week.

823
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: I think he has really earned some some targets. I

824
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: think he's earned some looks. And no matter who the

825
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna be, which looks like it's gonna be

826
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn, I think he's a guy that you can

827
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: trust going forward. I don't even know if I could

828
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: give analysis with you where that had. I like Jared Boykin.

829
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: The matchup is very good. If you're in a PPR league,

830
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: he is especially valuable. This kid has really come out

831
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: of nowhere to become a very good fantasy option for

832
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. How about Reggie Bush. He's been up and down. Lady,

833
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: go ahead, I know you want to say it. What

834
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: I just I like, sir, Reginald Alfred Bush. The second

835
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: I knew that was gonna happen. You know, I think

836
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna run the ball well. I mean, he's done

837
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: very well at home. Certainly the weather is not going

838
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: to be a factors Jim Kosig mentioned, and the Lions

839
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: they need to win. They're gonna spread the ball around

840
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: their playmakers. We know Calvin Johnson's gonna get his looks,

841
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: but I think Reggie Bush sees a lot of action

842
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: this week as well. Let's move on to Oakland and

843
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: Dallas for Shan Jennings. Fad, He's earned this start, He's

844
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: earned his spot on your roster. Yeah, what do you

845
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: think they're Tommy Turkey, Yeah, I think this is a

846
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: good start for Sean Jennings. He has been phenomenal. There's

847
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: only been one running back who scored more fantasy points

848
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: over the last four weeks, and that's Adrian Peterson. So

849
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: that's some pretty good company. The Cowboys have given up

850
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points of running back to this season.

851
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: They've been awful against the run, So start Rashad Jennings.

852
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Despite the fact, as you mentioned that Nick Fadden could

853
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: be back, you can't trust him because he's wearing a hat,

854
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: but you actually asked your turkeys to fantasy. He gives

855
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: pretty good advice. Smith, all right, how about Rod's markets,

856
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: But however you communicate with your turkey Rod Streeter. Yes'm,

857
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm listening. Rod Streets the guy. I think you're

858
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: playing Rod Street if you're really hurting at the position.

859
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of other options. But

860
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's going to see targets. The Narius

861
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: Moore is now out for the week, so Rod Streeter

862
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: in his absence in the past, has stepped up and

863
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: played really well. I think he sees some looks against

864
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: that Cowboys secondary, But I also think that he's well

865
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: down your list of receivers that you're just plugging in

866
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: this week for the Cowboys. You're playing Deaz, you're playing

867
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, and you're playing Tony Rummel on Thanksgiving. Take

868
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: a look at his career as a starter on Turkey

869
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: Day fabs uh not not a bad day for him.

870
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: Six games, seventeen touchdowns pert day per day. Pretty good,

871
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: as Larry David would say. And this is a guy who,

872
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: unless you have Peyton Manning or a superstar quarterback of

873
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: that caliber. You're starting Tony Rome on Turkey Day. I

874
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: remember a few years back get what five six touchdowns

875
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He likes to play on

876
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Turkey Day, and he likes to play teams that are bad,

877
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: like the Yorkland Raiders. That's de Marco Murray. Marcus. I

878
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: like de Marco Murray as well, and I know that

879
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been kind of spreading it around a

880
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: little bit in the backfield, but the Marco Murray is

881
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: still the primary guy. And I like the fact that

882
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: he runs the ball and then he'll catch the ball

883
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. I think this is

884
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a really high scoring affair between the Raiders

885
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: and Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, and I think the Marco

886
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Murray is gonna be right in the middle of that.

887
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Baltimore the night game, you're absolutely playing Antonio Brown.

888
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: He's turned into a top five Fantasy wide receiver. Anybody

889
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: that can do what he did to Joe Hayden, You're

890
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: starting him. But fabs, how about Ben Roethlisberger. The matchup

891
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: is not good for Roethlisberger in Baltimore, and his career

892
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: numbers in Baltimore against this team have not been good.

893
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: Five touchdowns, twelve turnovers in his career. I am benching

894
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: Big Ben on Thursday Night. Lady on Bell, you would say,

895
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: of course you start the guy. The guy's getting you

896
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: ten plus fantasy points a week. But Marcus, this is

897
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: maybe the most difficult matchup he's had against the Ravens defense. Yeah,

898
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: it really is. I mean, but I think he's a

899
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: kind of guy who has earned the right to be

900
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: in your lineup. Maybe as a flex at the best,

901
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna see a lot of opportunities

902
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: and have been Roethlisberger struggles, they may turn to Levion

903
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: Bell to try to move the football. Fag. You talked

904
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: about Tory Smith being a sit earlier. We're gonna talk

905
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: about it all the time. How about ray Rice? You guys,

906
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: you guys playing the Ray Rice is flex. This is

907
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: a good matchup. It's not a fantastic matchup. But this

908
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 1: is not this Steelers defense that you feared in terms

909
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: of running the football this year. They're mediocre at best, exactly.

910
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: Ray Rice is a matchup based option. This is one

911
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: of the matchups you like. All right, let's get to now.

912
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: Since it is going to be Thanksgiving, we're talking about

913
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: what we're thankful for fantasy wise. So Marcus, what's something

914
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: that you're thankful for this fantasy season. I am thankful

915
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: that I ended up with Russell Wilson as a keeper

916
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: and only had to give up an eleventh round pick

917
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: for him this past year. And when it's come to

918
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: situations where Roddy White has been disappointing, where Alfred Morris

919
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: has been a mystery at times, Russell Wilson has kind

920
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: of kept me in and he's helped me make the

921
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: playoffs in my league of record. You know, it's crazy

922
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: because we saw him coming in he was gonna be

923
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: a great player, then he lost some mojo going forward,

924
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: and now eleventh round pick. That's terrific. Fabs. I have

925
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: a feeling I know who you're going to talk about,

926
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: who you're thankful for thankful I ain't this guy, because

927
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: come Thursday, you're gonna be in big trouble. I would

928
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: you just stop and have a sense of humor for

929
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: once Smith, I'm very grateful that I have Zach Stacy

930
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: on my fantasy team. He has been phenomenal. This guy

931
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: has come out and played so well, both on the

932
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: field and from a fantasy perspective. I'm just hoping he's

933
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna be okay this week. Of course, he had the

934
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: head injury last week and Zach Stacy's mom has got

935
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: it going on. Remember one, Remember when I mowed the

936
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: lawn and she came out of the towel. Look, I'm thankful.

937
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: I would like to thank America because they rejected my

938
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy and lavy On Bell for Rob Gronkowski trade

939
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: in week three. Thank you, America. My team wouldn't be

940
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,319
