1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. We 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: have spot starts everything you need for Week seventeen. We're 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: gonna look ahead to the twenty four teen season as well. 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Adam Reich has his likes and dislikes all set to go. 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: We have some surprises, well surprises in that they're big 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: names who disappointed, the guys who can come back and 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: rebound for two thousand and fourteen. A couple of people 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: that will be looking at in the coming weeks here. 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: But I will talk myself into drafting next year and 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: be like, these guys gonna be great as Jackson. Let 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: me tell you something. Okay, fine, Steven Jackson might not 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: have been the Fantasy m v P, but he played 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: well in Week fifteen, so that's all he needed to do. 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have, I think, even looking in my heart 15 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: of hearts, I knew I was never going to play 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: him in Week sixteen against the forty niners. At least 17 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: that's what I've convinced myself. He gave me one week 18 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: when it mattered, unlike you know, like Peyton Manning for instance, 19 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: who's so good the previous fourteen weeks, and then in 20 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: week fifteen kind of disappeared. But I think Steven Jackson 21 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: you can still say he's the m v P because 22 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: him getting hurt allowed you to bench him and play 23 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: other parts and turned out to be getting You never 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: played some of the guys you picked up, and I 25 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: didn't have to wrestle each week do I played no 26 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Sean Moreno, it was like half. It makes it easier 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: like that. Now, all right, we have ten Player of 28 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: the Year, Fantasy Live Player of the Year coming on 29 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: the show. We have a lot of big nominees. It's 30 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Jamal Charles or Peyton Manning. What do you 31 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: guys thinking, give me give me your selection right here. 32 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: See I was big on Mercat May kind of sweeping 33 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: the awards out of nowhere. Guys. You know, I have 34 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: a feeling it's gonna be that guy in the Midwest 35 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: who had ran the ball so effectively all you long, 36 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: especially when people needed it the most. Yeah, that's the 37 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: big thing for me. He played so well in Week 38 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: fifteen when we needed it the most, where a lot 39 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: of us needed at the most fifty points. I mean, 40 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: that's you know, it doesn't have it happens like once 41 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: a year and it came at the most opportune time, 42 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: whereas Peyton Manning was sitting there in week fifteen losing 43 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: to the Chargers. Now it was like the real life 44 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning when he was with the Colts losing to 45 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers in the playoffs. Kind of thing at Adam 46 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Rank on Twitter.

You gotta be a real tough fantasy owner 73 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: to play in Week sevent TM. This is where a 74 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: real men play fantasy football, because it's not a lot 75 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: out there. I must not be a real man.

Send it over to them. 78 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: They're standing by with the latest fantasy headlines. Guys, Thank you, Jason, 79 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Grant and I here with your latest fantasy headlines 80 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: for Friday. As Jason alluded to earlier, we started Dallas, 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: where the big news of the day is Cowboys will 82 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: be without quarterback Tony Romo, who underwent surgery on his 83 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: back and was placed on season ending i R on Friday. 84 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Let me start with this. Tony Romo underwent back surgery 85 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: this morning. UH, and the surgeon was done as a 86 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: result of the injury that happened in the game against Washington, 87 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: and UH, Tony will be on i R. Kyle Orton 88 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: will be our starter in the ballgame. Kyle Lordon will 89 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: get the start for the Dallas Cowboys with Marcus What 90 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: is the trickle down effect for this injury. I think 91 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: you can still roll with DeMarco Murray. That's not going 92 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: to really affect how the Cowboys use him this week. 93 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: I think the other guy you can really trust that 94 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: offense is Dez Bryant. He is hands down the number 95 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: one receiver for the Cowboys. He'll see plenty of targets. 96 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: Beyond that, you might want to try to find some 97 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: more consistent options for the rest of your fantasy roster. 98 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: What about Jason Went. I think Jason Went and he 99 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: really kind of frightens me. Even in the past weeks, 100 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: he hasn't been seeing a lot of targets. He hasn't 101 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: produced a whole lot. I think with a new quarterback 102 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: in there, I think he's a bit of a shaky choice. 103 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: But it seems like that's who Kyle Orton would be 104 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: looking at it. He's he's a security blanket out There 105 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: could be somebody I think you could put out and 106 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: start in your lineup. Yeah, but you don't even sound certain. 107 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm trying to myself. It's a bigger point. 108 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: In Green Bay, coach Mike McCarthy announced Aaron Rodgers would 109 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 1: get the start for the Packers with the NFC North 110 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: Division on the line Sunday. Rodgers hasn't played in eight 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: weeks with a broken left collar bone. When asked if 112 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: Rogers would be more susceptible to further injury by playing, 113 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy said, quote, any football player that plays Sunday will 114 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: have risk. We've done our due diligence. We feel it's 115 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: time for Aaron to play. If you're in a week 116 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: seventeen championship, do you play Rogers? I play Rodgers unless 117 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: they are a handful of guys that you have that 118 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: are better than him, And I know Michael Fabiano probably 119 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: has his list as well. There are a lot of 120 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: guys on that list. So for the most part, I 121 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: think you roll with Aaron Rodgers because Aaron Rodgers. What 122 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: about Nick Foles, He's one that because he's probably somebody 123 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: that you picked up to replace Rodgers. What if you 124 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: had that situation, Nick Foles is the guy would play 125 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: over Aaron Rodgers. He's been so good all year long, 126 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: and he's going to be against that cowboy defense that 127 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: has been shredded time and time again. And we'll stick 128 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, where Packers running back Eddie Lacey is 129 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: expected to get the start as well versus the Bears. 130 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Coach McCarthy isn't concerned with Lacey's lack of practice, So 131 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: are you, Marcus? I am not concerned with Eddie Lacy's 132 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: lack of practice. Is he on the field. He's my lineup. 133 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: The Bears have been just dashed in the running game. 134 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: We saw it last week against the Eagles. I think 135 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: it happens again. As long as Eddie Lacy is ready 136 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: to go, I'm making sure I started him. Jimmy Starks 137 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: could be somebody maybe a sneaky play. He's a sneaky plays, 138 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: more of a sleeper place. Similar how we've seen in 139 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: the past Reggie Bush and joyke Bell in Detroit. You 140 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: could see a Lacey Starks combo this week. What if 141 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: tex Cobs ready to go? Is that? Is he somebody 142 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: that I would stay away from him? He's just been 143 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: out of action so long that he's just hard to 144 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: trust in a championship And this would be good news 145 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: for Jordy Nelson if Rodgers came back. He had seven 146 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: touchdowns where Rodgers has been in there one since he left. 147 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: So that's the guy. I really liked that absolutely. I 148 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: think you stick with Jordia Nelson. He's continued to be 149 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: a top flight fantasy receiver even with a change at quarterback. 150 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: Very good Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt, who was in 151 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: the final year of his contract with the Tennessee Titans. 152 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: He told reporters on Thursday, quote, I'm going to be 153 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver somewhere else if I'm not 154 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: here next year, and that is guaranteed. Anny Britt, he 155 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: was a complete bust in two thousand thirteen, totally less 156 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: than one hundred yards on the year and zero touchdowns. 157 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: They take a late round flyer on him next season. 158 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: Let me think about it. No, I'm not I'm not 159 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: trusting Kenny Britt. We've been waiting for years for Kinney 160 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: Britt to break out. It hasn't happened. He's only regressed. Yes, 161 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: he's probably not gonna be in Tennessee next year, but 162 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: there's so many other guys out there who could play 163 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: the receiver position. I'm not doing it, but he guaranteed it. Yeah.

So you see there, Adrian Peterson doubtful, 171 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Toby Gerhart out, Matt Asiata You're gonna get some. Sat 172 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: Is a deep sleeper. He's a flex at the most. 173 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: I know he was huge that last time he started, 174 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: but we're talking about a championship week. I don't know 175 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: that I trust, but he had fifty yards on fifty 176 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Carreyes be Britt also guaranteed he'd be a number one receiver. 177 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: He guaranteed it. How can you you know you convinced me? Alright, well, 178 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: I guarantee. We're gonna have more news later on in 179 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: the show, but right now, let's send it back to 180 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: Jason to the guys for more of today's stop stories. 181 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: All right, thanks a lot, Mr Rank, A little more 182 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: in depth in the two big topics of the day. 183 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: The first one Tony Romo being placed, and I are 184 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: talking about what it means for him and his weapons. 185 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: The first thing, FABS, people are always looking for quarterbacks 186 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: Week seventeen, you're playing, can you take Kyle Orton? Throw 187 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: them in your lineup? Not in the standard league. If 188 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about a two QB league. I think he's 189 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: going to be a starter. Kyle Orton, He's not terrible. 190 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this guy in Chicago, won a whole 191 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: lot of football games. But in a standard league. No, 192 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I mean if you got a thing too, 193 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean with that better and experience, he's still gonna 194 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: be able to go through his read still be able 195 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 1: to understand the offense. And when you think about a 196 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, sometimes you get these backup quarterbacks who happened 197 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: no experience. This is a different type of experience for 198 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Orton soul. That does make Dez Bryant and other 199 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: guys in the offense still a must play. So I 200 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: know we are gonna be worried about Dez Brian anyway 201 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: you sit him, no no chance. Kyle Lauren's gonna know 202 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: where to throw that football, and it's going to be 203 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: to Dez Bryant. I still think Jason Waiten is a 204 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: tight end one, and you're starting de Marco Murray. If 205 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys do anything in this game, they're gonna want 206 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: to keep control of the football, keep the Eagles offense 207 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: off the field. That means running de Marco as much 208 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: as they can. Martin, you sound like a coach that's 209 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: good time time of possession right there. Running the ball. 210 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: You run a lot of that clock off off the 211 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: excuse me, a lot of time off the clock. And 212 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: then also that you help to get that offense pace 213 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: going with the short passing game, and then you extended 214 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: out to Dez Bryan for some deep shots. Let's move 215 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: on to Aaron Rodgers. Now, would you start Aaron Rodgers 216 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: week seventeen? You saw the guys talking about a couple 217 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: of seconds ago, Febs. Let me give us some quarterbacks 218 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: you could potentially have alongside Aaron Rodgers. Tell me if 219 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: you'd start Rogers or the quarterback if you have Nick 220 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: Foles and Aaron Rodgers. I'm starting Foles against the Cowboys 221 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: of course, all right, if you have Andy Dalton or 222 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers is that close? I'm I have confidence 223 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: in Rodgers there. Philip Rivers or Aaron Rodgers. Let's be 224 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: at Philip Rivers hasn't been that good the last few weeks. 225 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to Rodgers there, all right. Last one, Russell 226 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. I'm going Rodgers, all right. So basically, 227 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: unless you have Nick Foles is the guy, he's still 228 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, yeah, I would play him all throughout. 229 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: I Mean, I love Nick Foles, I think he's great, 230 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: but I would go a clean sweet for Aaron Rodgers. 231 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: Uptick on on a guy like Jordy Nelson or James 232 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: Jones playing this Sunday with Rogerson on the football. Absolutely, 233 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: just like Muhammad Ali is the most recognizable face on 234 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: the planet outside of Michael Jordan's as as athletic is concerned. 235 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: The same time, it comes with his athleticism and Aaron 236 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers ability to make place. He's gonna find his guys. 237 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna find Jordy Nelson, He's gonna find James Jones. 238 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: He's that talented. With or without having played the last 239 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: seven weeks, this guy is gonna make those guys fantasy 240 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: value jump out of the roof. I would say, play 241 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and James Jones. That's segue made no sense, 242 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: by the way, he just wanted to get our Twitter 243 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: argument on the air. It was recognizable that this is 244 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: a talented quarterback. So don't overthink it and say I'm 245 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: not gonna play Aaron Rodgers or any of his wide receivers. 246 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: When NFL Fantasy Live returns, we'll take a look at 247 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: the schedule for Week seventeen and take a closer look 248 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: at the guys in our radar and later.

But this is called show 273 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: me something, not just for this week, but for the 274 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: teen drafts. Some games of the players who you want 275 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: to see something from in week seventeen so you can 276 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: draft them higher or feel good about drafting them next season. 277 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: So right, kick it off, You've got Detroit and Minnesota. 278 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: Give me who wins and who you looking at. I 279 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: like Minnesota to win this game three to one, and 280 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: one person I will be playing very close attention to 281 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson. This is a guy that I've had my 282 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: eye on for the last couple of weeks because he 283 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: has been fantastic. He has scored a touchdown in four 284 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: consecutive games. He is somebody that keeps sneaking up my 285 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: draft boards. And what I'm gonna be looking for in 286 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: this game is reasons to continue to push him up 287 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: my draft board because I I know me, I know 288 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: in my heart of hearts, I am probably gonna be 289 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: drafting Corderoll Patters a little bit too early next season. 290 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: But when you look at this guy, he is a 291 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: dynamic playmaker. He's somebody who can take the pressure off 292 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: of Adrian Peterson, and if there's a coach, a coaching change, 293 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: and a quarterback change, it could be huge things for 294 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: him next year. And on the other side of the football, 295 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: I am looking at Matthew Stafford, somebody I have been 296 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: highly disappointed in this season, somebody who I felt could 297 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: have entered this season and been a great fantasy boon, 298 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: but he only ended up ruining my team. And I 299 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: look at him next year, I'm not sure that I 300 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: can trust him. I understand there could be a coaching 301 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: change in Detroit. I'm not trying to speculate on that, 302 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: but it's got to be something different there because he's 303 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: had great receivers, hasn't been able to make the most 304 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: of it. So I look at that situation in Detroit 305 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: hope something's gonna give. I have a guy I will 306 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: give you later on in the show who I think 307 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: could be a better quarterback than Matthew Stafford next year, 308 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: somebody later in the dress. But you're gonna we'll look 309 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: forward to that unless than nine fantasy points. That's a crusher. 310 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: You've been riding Stafford all season. It's been the playoffs, 311 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: and it was it was it was a disappointing nice 312 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: to say the least for the Lions and for my 313 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: fantasy team. All right, I'm moving on. I'm gonna talk 314 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Jets Dolphins here. I'm gonna go Jets in this one 315 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: because it's a typical Jets game to win. Whenever you think, well, 316 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: we know what's gonna happen in the off season, replace 317 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback, replace the head coach. We know they'll win 318 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: this game and it's gonna be now what do we do? 319 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: This is one of the guys I'm looking at is 320 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: Ryan tan Hill because everybody wants to know who could 321 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: be the next breakout quarterback candidate in tan hilp can 322 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: be that guy. Twenty three passing touchdowns this season, most 323 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: in Dolphins history. Right, there's nobody better than him that 324 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have had. Right, there's who is the guy 325 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: who hots gloves? Oh? Dan Marino guy well, second most 326 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: in Dolphins history, but over twenty one fantasy points in 327 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: three out of four games. He's a guy that can 328 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: throw the football with success. Another year offseason, he could 329 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: be that hot guy. He closes hot against the Jets, 330 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: He'll move up everybody's draft board. Chris Ivory also somebody 331 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: The Jets have been running the football phenomenally the last 332 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: three weeks against three. Run defense is ranking the top ten. 333 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: The Jets are averaging nearly a hundred seventy yards per 334 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: game over the last three contest. It's all coming on 335 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory's legs and his shoulder pads and his helmet. 336 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: Ivoris a guy who another big game from him and 337 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: suddenly he'll be the guy who thought he was going 338 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: to be this year next year. But you're talking about 339 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan before. If something does happen, if there is 340 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: a change in New York, would you fear that something 341 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: happens to Chris Ivory? No, I would. I would worry 342 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: more about Geno Smith, but Ivory a coaches will inherit 343 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: running backs and say, hey, this guy's talented, that's fine quarterback. 344 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: They want their own guys. I would worry too much. 345 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: Abou Christ into the systems as I work, work on 346 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: that hamstring all seasons. On that handscrap San Francisco and Arizona. 347 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: This is a late game on Fox, Marcus, what are 348 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: you looking at here? I am looking. First off, I 349 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: think the Niners winning what's going to be a pretty 350 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: defensive battle. I think San Francisco pulls it out seven 351 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: team to third team. But one guy I'm really keeping 352 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: my eye on is Colin Kaepernick. He has been up 353 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: and down all season long. We expected really big things 354 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: from him after the way he finished last year. Certainly 355 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: losing Michael Crabtree looked like an impact on a lot 356 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: of the things they did in that offense. He didn't 357 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: run nearly as much. But later in the year since 358 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Crabtree has been back, he's looked like the Colin kaepern 359 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: We all expect that he has certainly targeted Crabtree quite 360 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: a bit, and more than that, he's running the football more. 361 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: But we will keep an eye on him this week 362 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: to see if he's gonna be that guy, because the 363 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: bottom of that top ten quarterback ranking, I think it's 364 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: really very muddled, and if Kaepernick can finish strong, I 365 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: think he's a guy who creeps into that top ten. 366 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: On the other side, Andre Ellington definitely a name to 367 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. He was a guy who midway 368 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: through the year looked like he was taking over that 369 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: top spot in the Cardinals backfield of Shard Mendenhall has 370 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of held onto that, but mental Hall could hit 371 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: free agency this offseason. He might not be back in 372 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: the Desert next year, which should open some things up 373 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: for Ellington. It's a tough matchup against that nine of defense, 374 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: but Ellington has run well against some tough defenses this year. 375 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: There's another good performance. He's a guy I think you 376 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: keep an eye on as an RB two next year. 377 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys I want to talk into 378 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: drafting much higher to and if Kaepernick plays well, he 379 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: could be the next Isotona guy. You never know something 380 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: to think about. I like when they would pick the 381 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: key up with the glove and look, you could pick 382 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: a key up. I didn't realize that. Now, ok, bar 383 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: is going big game hunting right here. You're going Eagles Cowboys. 384 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: Your initial score before Tony Rummo was ruled out for 385 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: the season was a close one was Eagles thirty five, 386 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty eight. However, in light of that news, you 387 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: have changed your final score. I have. I mean, you know, 388 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: with the with Kyle Orton coming into the game, well, 389 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: everybody's like, well yeah, Kyle Orton's in, you know right, Look, 390 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: let's let's be hones. Let's get real. We saw what 391 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles did this is coming down for the 392 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: NFC East. It's gonna be forty four team. And the 393 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: one guy that I'm looking at him giving this game 394 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. The one guy that I'm looking 395 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: at is Riley Cooper. Riley Cooper came into this league 396 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure because of this offseason excuse 397 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: me is off the field issues and a lot of 398 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: people just kind of overlooked Riley Cooper. But here's the 399 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver that has a lot of talent, and I 400 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: want to see how he finishes off the season. How 401 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: does he finish? Does he finish dronk, You hope that 402 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: coming into this following season, for the two thousand fourteen season, 403 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 1: that he's not gonna have any of those distractions and 404 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: you can see him for the pure talent that he is. 405 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: And I think that he's a very talented wide receiver 406 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: and I want to see this success CONTI and you 407 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: so I can go out and pick him up in 408 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: the draft next year as well. And then on the 409 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: other side of the ball, we know al Sean Jeffrey, 410 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: and we know h Brandy Marshall and that tandem guess 411 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: Brian and Terence Williams could they be the same as 412 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: electric as as those two. And I think Terence Williams 413 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: could be exactly that. Let's see how he connects with 414 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: cow Argon. Cow Warden probably spent a lot of time 415 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: throwing to him before he became a starter. He was 416 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: a great waiver wire guy for a long part of 417 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: the season. And he just said he just fell off 418 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: a cliff. He just disappeared. Yeah he did. But guess what, 419 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: He's got his boys back, all right. Well, so I 420 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: thought you're gonna say, now the Kyle or no, no, no, 421 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: here's our pick and recap. We're split on the Vikings 422 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: and the Lions, on the lone Wolf with the Jets, 423 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: as I said, typical Jets thing to do to win 424 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: this football game. Split with the Cardinals in San Francisco. 425 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: And I still think the Cowboys can win this game 426 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: because it would be a typical Cowboys thing to do 427 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: to say we're firing everything person in the world. Everything's out. 428 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: But then the Cowboys will win this game in suddenly 429 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: as well, we're gonna bring back Garrett. We'll bring back 430 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: almost the same soaps the Cowboys thing to do. And 431 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: if you look at the pick on page, you'll notice 432 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: I did pick the Cowboys because I made my picks 433 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: before the season started and I have not changed, which 434 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: is percentage. It's not making You do know that that 435 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: the Philadelphy Eagles just put up fifty plus points the 436 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: week four, right, I'm aware, Okay, watched the game. You 437 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: know that's the that's the largest league in the NFL. 438 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: This is the administration. This is the one thing I've 439 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: noticed about the league is that everything that happens the 440 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: week before is very indicative of that what happens the 441 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: next week, except not at all. People say, what do 442 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: you mean, Carter? And I don't understand. But that's all 443 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: I know. I'm trying to explain for people before Jimmy 444 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: Carter Championships are one in lost in Fantasy and re return, 445 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: we announced the Fantasy Live Waiver Wired pick Up of 446 00:19:50,680 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: the Year.

Well, 458 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey has gotta be right there. He has been 459 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: one of the top ten wide receivers in Fantasy football. 460 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: But I have a soft spot for Zack Stacy because 461 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: I picked him up in a lot of leagues and 462 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: at running back. To come up with a player that 463 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: good off the waiver wire, that one is tough because 464 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: there's a joke going around about tex Stacey. Please don't 465 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: know is there a song written about mom? I saw 466 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: it because it wasn't hosting this segment. I'd i'd be 467 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: we're simpatico. Sorry. I think Julius Thomas has a has 468 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: a good shot to win this thing. I mean, you 469 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: mentioned he's one of three, so I hope he's got 470 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: a one in three shot to win this deal. I 471 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: would say, you know, he was the guys you mentioned 472 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: was everybody ran to the waiver wire to go get 473 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: him after that huge Week one performance and maybe there's 474 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: something nice the symmetry of him catching Peyton's first touchdown 475 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: this year and catching Payton's fifty first touchdown. I like 476 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: where your head's at all? Right? Well, I guess we 477 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: could sing it, or we could bring it and bring 478 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: the winner that is.

So 496 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: to speak for Alshan, I would just say, uh, working 497 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: hard this off season with Brandon and uh, coach grow 498 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: he's been uh you stepped for me in my game 499 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: at coach trust mean he's bringing me along and just 500 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: understanding the game, just slowing down for me. You know 501 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: that during that jump there's one thing you might have 502 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: picked up. Maybe it's film watching, maybe something you didn't 503 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: wait room. What was that one thing this offseason that's 504 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: helped you make this transition? I would say just just 505 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: being a lot more focused on locked in and making 506 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: the plays, Just trying to make every play. That's what 507 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: I Because Brandon always says you gotta have that big playability, 508 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: So I always try to just be locking in and 509 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: just make the big play. Last week, Brandon Marshall sat 510 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: in that chair at our. Host Dan Helly asked him 511 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: about the fact that you two may become the most 512 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: dangerous tandem as far as wide receivers going football, and 513 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: he replied, quote, there is no probably to it. We 514 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: are we are definitely the number one tandem. End quote. 515 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: What do you think about that quote from Brandon? I 516 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: feel the same way. But everybody's entitled to their pain. 517 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: But for the Chicago Bears, that's how we feel about 518 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: each other. Man, Brandon, we always talked. We talked about 519 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: it last year when I came here at first, but 520 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: I had a few injuries, so that could happen. You know, 521 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: it feels what you saw him smiling. You know he 522 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: really feels that way. Now. Now tell me this. Every 523 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: player dreams as a young kid. Although if it's basketball, 524 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: for it's football, you know, playing in that big game. 525 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: This is a game that matters. This is for the 526 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: NFC North. You guys are going up against the Green 527 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. What have you guys done this week? Uh? 528 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: And what do you guys have in store for for 529 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. We're gonna try to come out 530 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: and just nominate a game play Chicago Bears football. We 531 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: got we got a lot of store. So it's gonna 532 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: be a fun game. Everything's gonna be everything's on the line. 533 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: So we're just gonna come out and just compete, give 534 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: it our best shot. So walk me through. We got 535 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: an all goal situation here Cutlers throwing an all goal. 536 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: You've got a cornerback, he's pressed up in front of you. Well, 537 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: what is al Shan doing in that situation? I'm always 538 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: thinking about economy. No matter who's coming me, three people 539 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: can be on me. Okay, I like that. I like that. Well, 540 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: they had to play. They had seven guys on him 541 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: last week when he turned and caught that football for 542 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So he's talking about something that actually happened. 543 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: I know, Hey, Bro brought up Jake Cutler. It's been 544 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: kind of a crazy season. You know. Jay Cutler was 545 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: the quarterback and then he got hurt. Josh McCown came 546 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: in and did very well. Now Jay Cutler is back. 547 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: What's the like for you? Trying to go through the 548 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: changing quarterbacks a couple of times this year, I would 549 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: say pretty much they pretty much the same with Jay 550 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: is a lot more vocal, uh, a lot more aggressive, 551 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: just uh, just tough. You just want to win. He 552 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: just always send him you just y, I'm coming to you, 553 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: no matter what he's gonna tell you like, just make 554 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: the play, all right, Alshon Jeffrey, phenomenal season so far. 555 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: Best of luck on Sunday, look forward to talking down 556 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: the road. Thanks for having all right, man go deep, 557 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: man go deep? Alright, Waiver Wire Player of the Year 558 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: from more on Jeffrey and his future. Let's start back 559 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: over the rank and the guys. Thank you, Jason. Yes, 560 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey says he and Brandon Marshall are the best tandem, 561 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: and like James Content in the eraser, I agree with him. Yes, 562 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: now best tandem? He did see that? Wow? Okay, was 563 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: that the one with the fake alligator? Yes? It was. 564 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: But if you have to pick between one of the 565 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: two guys Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey, who are you going with? 566 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go with Brandon Marshall, but it's close. 567 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Marshall is still the number one guy 568 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: there in Chicago, just and he has a longer track record. 569 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: But how good? How good can Alshon Jeffrey? But I 570 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: think he could be fan tastic. I think Alshon Jeffrey 571 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: is a guy going in the next year that a 572 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna look at. That's potentially a 573 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: number one top type wide receiver in fantasy. You see 574 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: the yard is there, over thirteen hundred yards. He's had 575 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: a huge impact on the Bears offense and a lot 576 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: of us because he's been making big plays like that. 577 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey has fourteen catches of twenty five or more 578 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: yards this season that side for fifth most in the NFL. 579 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: So not only is he seeing its hardet, but he's 580 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: making big plays with him. I mean, you're talking about 581 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: a guy who where you're you're catching deep balls like that, 582 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: you get four or five receptions that ends up to 583 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: a huge day, and so many of those seem to 584 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: have ended up in the ends. Over this year, it 585 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: seems like draft boards will be turned upside down, and 586 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: Julius Thomas is somebody who's gonna be figured into that 587 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: make somebody when the tight end run starts, Julius Thomas 588 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be right there in the mix of Really, 589 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: if you look at the tight end position, only Jimmy 590 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: Graham right now is a guy that I would put 591 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: ahead of Julius Thomas. And I'm not saying that i'd 592 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: take him in the second, third round, but he's gonna 593 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: be the guy that at some point in the fifth round, 594 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna be like, you know what, I'm going after 595 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: Julius Thomas. I'm gonna give him at and he will 596 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: be the guy who kicks off the tight end run. 597 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: But Michael, you talked about Zack Stacy before you were 598 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: the driver of the Zack Stacey bandwagon. How hi is 599 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: he going Fantasy drafts next season? I wouldn't be surprised 600 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: if he's a second round pick. In fact, you know me, Adam, 601 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: I like to go with running backs early, So Zach 602 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: Stacy someone who will come off the board late second rounds, 603 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: no later than the early part of the third rounds. 604 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: This kid's been phenomenal. Seven touchdowns since Week nine rushing. 605 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: That's most in the National Football League. Zach Stacy is 606 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: the real deal. Guys. Yeah, they've got a lot. It 607 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: seems like they have a lot of pieces there in St. 608 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: Louis and it's only a matter of time before they 609 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: come together. But that division is pretty tough. Though, it 610 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: is pretty tough. But Zach Stacy was sort of matchup 611 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: proof this year even against the Niners, had a good 612 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: stat line. You can trust him against those tough defenses. 613 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: Zack Stacey is certainly on the rock. You're hoping he 614 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: doesn't go back in a running back rotation? Yes, now true. 615 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: I think the Rams have seen enough of Darryl Rickinson, 616 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Pe. They know where the back they're looking at it. 617 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: All right, well, very good in congratulations to al Sean Jeffrey, 618 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: But we have one more piece of hardware to go out. 619 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: Three men entered, only one will leave with a two 620 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: thousand NFL Fantasy Live Player of the Year award.

Marcus, what's your 646 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: strategy when you look through the Playoff Challenge line up? 647 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,239 Speaker 1: My strategy is to find the teams, and I think 648 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to the Super Bowl teams. It's a 649 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: combination of teams that I think you're gonna go far 650 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: in the playoffs with guys that I think are gonna 651 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: be very productive. So you look at my roster loaded 652 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: up with the Broncos and the Seahawks. I'm all in 653 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: on these teams because guys their teams that I think 654 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: can go really far in the postseason. Like the way 655 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: you roll, you like that, right, So you got Peyton Manning. Look, no, 656 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: Sean Moreno, I don't think he's the best running back 657 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but he's on the team that goes 658 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: far and he's a very productive guy. You've got Marshawn 659 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: Lynch on the other side. I love the Seahawks defense 660 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: because they are so tough up there at Century Link Field. 661 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: I like this group. And the thing about it is 662 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: there's a chance I may not get any points in 663 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: the first round because these teams could have first round buys. 664 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: But they'll double up. They'll triple up if they keep 665 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: going through the playoffs the way I think they will. Yeah. 666 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: And no, Sean Marino a hundred yards and a touchdown 667 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That's like four hundred yards and 668 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: four touchdowns exact. So that's why you pick the guys 669 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: who go far. And no surprise, Peyton Manning your quarterback. 670 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely no surprise there. Manning has been the best fantasy 671 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: player from week wyman. He came out of the gates 672 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: quick with that seven touchdown performance against the Ravens. He 673 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: has been the top scoring pretty much all season long. 674 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: If you're looking for a quarterback in terms of, you know, 675 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: ability to go deep in the playoffs and ability to 676 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: score on a weekly basis, I don't know how you 677 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: can do much better than Payton. I can see a 678 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: few people saying, well, I don't know they could get upset. 679 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: Peyton doesn't have a great track record in the playoffs, 680 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: but most people Payton Manning is a great pick. I 681 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: don't know anyone who's not going to pick Marshaw Lynch. 682 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tough to go against Marshawn Lynch. 683 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: I mean, beast mode really turns up for some of 684 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: the biggest games of the year. And again, likely if 685 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: things go Seattle's way this weekend, they will have a 686 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: first round by they will have home field advantage throughout 687 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: the NFC playoffs, and in Seattle, they're a tough crew 688 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,959 Speaker 1: to handle it. If Marshawn Lynch is getting twenty too 689 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: want to five touches a game up there in Seattle, 690 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a tough option to turn down. Ok 691 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: bars initial strategy was to take everybody from San Diego State, 692 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: but his lineup, so you went in a different direction. 693 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: Tell me about your strategy. Well, you know, I first off, 694 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to hit hard and fast, 695 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: kind of like how I live, you know, And so 696 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that I got some good 697 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: points early and fast. So you know, I went out 698 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: and got some of the big name guys, guys who 699 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: I knew could produce. Like, for example, based off of 700 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: this week alone with the championship or the playoffs will 701 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,239 Speaker 1: start this week, you had a Frank Gore going up 702 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears. That's a ton of fantasy points 703 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: right there. So just based on that option, I know 704 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: guys have the ability to advance. Lashawn McCoy is another 705 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: good option. He could have a field day against that 706 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: that defense for the New Orleans Saints based on the 707 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: playoff picture right now. When you look at Lashawn McCoy, 708 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: he is the top running back in the league averaging 709 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: four yards per game, and he's got that in factor 710 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: both in the passing game and in the running game. 711 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: A J. Green, you're also picking him. Bengals are a team. 712 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: If I'm trying to pick a team that think can 713 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: make a sneaky run through the playoffs Bengals around my 714 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: short ways. Yes, they are so good because you know, again, 715 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: they could go up against the Miami Dolphins. They could 716 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: win that matchup. They're probably gonna go to a J. 717 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: Green a ton maybe thirty times. I'm joking, but they're 718 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: gonna go to a J. Green often to get that. 719 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden they could be sitting 720 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: there and they're gonna be facing the New England Patriots. 721 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: And I think that a J. Green again could win 722 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: that matchup. And this is a team that could upset 723 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: the New Patriots event hard and fast, just like you 724 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: just like listen the guy with four kids who takes 725 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: a nap at three thirty. That's how hard and fast looks. Now. 726 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: These were the seatings as they sit right now. Obviously 727 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: things can change between now in the playoffs, so we're 728 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: going picking players if the season ended today going forward. 729 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: If a guy like Michelle Lashawn McCoy loses in the 730 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: first round, awkward, you get to replace him with another player, 731 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: but you don't get the double points of the multiplayer 732 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: a pretty big thing. Coming up next, Adam Reik reveals 733 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: why his likes and dislikes for next season could put 734 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: some stars unnoticed this and more when NFL Fantasy Live returns. Hey, everybody, 735 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: Adam Rank here every Friday and talking on't likes and 736 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: dislikes in the world, the sports, movies, TV comic books 737 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: in the current week of fantasy football, but it's week seventeen. 738 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: People who has a championship in week seventeen? I have 739 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: one league like that, but I lost already. So I'm 740 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: turning the page and I'm going to two thousand fourteen 741 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: to take a look at the guys I like and 742 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: dislike heading into that season. We'll start with Falcons quarterback 743 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Ryan and the Falcons were the biggest disappointments 744 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: of two thousand thirteen, well at least the side of Houston. 745 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: But with Roddy White and Julio Jones coming back healthy, 746 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: plus the emergence of Harry Douglas, things are looking good 747 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: for Atlanta next year. Lyon will likely be your second 748 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: quarterback selected in two thousand fourteen, but he could end 749 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: up carrying your fantasy team. Quarterback I don't like for 750 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: next season is Nick Foles. I know it's kind of 751 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: crazy to say. Folse has been awesome this year. I 752 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: won't deny it, and I'm not saying he's gonna be 753 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: a bus next season, but just know somebody's gonna take 754 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: him in the second round of your fantasy draft. Works feeds, 755 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the most over valued guy going into 756 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: your league. Trust me, Foles and Ryan will have pretty 757 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: similar production next year, but Folds will cost you a 758 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: second round pick. Ryan will go much later, if at all, 759 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: in your draft. A running back I like for next 760 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: season is Ray Rice. Obviously, he was wildly disappointing this year, 761 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: but all those playoff runs and carry's finally caught up 762 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: to him in two thousand thirteen. But he's gonna be 763 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: back strong next season. He's gonna turn twenty seven next month, 764 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: so he's got a lot of life left him. So 765 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: those of us who take him next year as an 766 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: RV two, we're gonna be greatly rewarded. And running back 767 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: I would stay away from, however, is Arian Foster. I 768 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: was headed into this season because I think of all 769 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: the great athletes who have had their careers robbed by 770 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: a back injury, guys like Mario Lemieu, Larry Bird, Shawn Michaels. 771 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: Somebody is going to be tempted to take Foster in 772 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: the first round next season. Don't be that guy. You'd 773 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: be better served to wait for Ray Rice. And finally, 774 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: I like Jordy Nelson. He's disappeared over the last couple 775 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: of weeks without Rogers, but he was awesome before the 776 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: quarterback went down. He was one of the top value 777 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: picks this year, and I have no doubt he will 778 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: be back among the hop once again in two thousand 779 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: and fourteen. He's gonna be a great number two receiver 780 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: for somebody, somebody like me, because I am going to 781 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: draft him. Now Here are some more guys to keep 782 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: an eye on for two thousand and fourteen. Ryan Tannehill 783 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: is a guy I like heading in the next season. 784 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews will be strong, Randall Cobb, Jordan Cameron will 785 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: come back. Some guys who avoid next year Carson Palmer, 786 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. I will not be fooled again the Keeam 787 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: Knicks and Riley Cooper. But time right now we will 788 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: send it over to Jason Smith and the guys for 789 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: some more Thank you very much, Richer. Right right now, 790 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: time for our Hotels dot Com Fantasy Spotlight spots starts 791 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: of the week, and everybody who plays a championship in 792 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: Week seventeen. It's the same thing. I say, the same 793 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: thing that we go, really you playing Week seventeen and 794 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: they go, yeah, I know, it's so let's help people 795 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: out here. These are guys. Obviously you will never play 796 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: again because your championship is this week. So bar you 797 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: are going deep for your base, but you are going 798 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 1: Oprah for your spot start. Yeah, I am you know. Still, 799 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: you know, Stickman Bailey is the neigh of you almost 800 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: you know. And this is not Oprah's boyfriend. This is 801 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: the real Standon Bailey for the St. Louis Rams. But 802 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: when I look at this guy, he's come along now 803 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. Now they're starting to 804 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: integrate integrate him into this offense. And I think that 805 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: because of his talent, he got a little overshadowed by 806 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: Tavon Austin, his college teammate. But I think this kid 807 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: has some real good skills. I think you could put 808 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: him in there and snick him in there as a 809 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: sneaky flex play, as a low in flex play. But 810 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: I think if you're if you're struggling in a Week seventeen, 811 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: look at Stevan Bailey. I was just wondering how many 812 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: times you're gonna see that reverse over and over. Stem 813 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: got a touchdown. All right, let's talk it back over 814 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: to Adam Rank, who has a big sleeper for our 815 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: big spot start force this week. What he got? I 816 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: hope it's somebody we have more b roll for. We 817 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: don't have to say the same touch here it is 818 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: in slow motion, and I'm gonna talk a little bitbout 819 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 1: Jimmy Starks going up against the Chicago Bears a run 820 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: defense and hasn't been able to stop anybody. And again 821 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: we're looking at guys who will get a chance to play, 822 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: who will have an opportunity, And last time these two teams, 823 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy Starks did score a touchdown.

Mercedes Lewis, you go, you get, 857 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: you put him in your lineup. I think Marcedes Lewis 858 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: is that you really like.

He may not have a lot of receiving 868 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: yards this week, speaking of Lewis, but he's a guy 869 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: that I think when they get close to the end zone, 870 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: they're gonna look for him on first and second down. 871 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon.
