20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: How you feeling about we Gayton? How was your week seven?

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Oh? It was really good. I went thirteen and three

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: this week. It was crazy, like, none of them are

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: a sweat. All the wins were just you know, breeze.

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: All the losses were boom dead. Immediately, I went viral

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: on my Jamiir Gibbs under six and a half rushing yards.

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: So that was fun last night dealing with those people

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: dunking on me. But again it was a quick, painless death.

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to fade elite players like that. I

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: wish it was as easy as as backing everybody. I

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: saw you're on the Monty under. I was gonna go

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: with that, and then I saw Campbell kind of saying

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: like he wanted to even up the backfield, and usually

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: he's pretty credible, but I mean, Jamier Gibbs is so

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: good that I'm not shocked he went off. But it

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: was just hilarious to get so much shit. Was my

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: most like tweet of the year on a weekend with

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: thirteen and three. So if I'm the fave god after

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: thirteen and three weeks, so be it. I welcome it.

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: But that's quite tough.

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: That's tough because how do you how do we Usually

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: we're doing the like the next week Curner plays, but

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: if you hit all your plays in one week.

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: Now, what are we supposed to do well?

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean that happens Vaccasionly I do have good weeks,

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: but I was definitely a couple weeks early on, like

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Rohnda Gadson, I still had some of those things going on.

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: But congrats again. I saw that you finished first place

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: again in fans Pro, so what was that like two

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: times and three weeks and yeah, so yeah, congrats on that.

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I think you had another good week because it was

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: just a shit show when it comes to just injuries

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: in general. But heading into you know, long time for

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: the contest, we didn't know if like Abuka and or

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Mike Evans would play. And I saw that you stuck

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: with Abuka at wide receiver thirty three, which was ballsy

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: to say the least, and then you were low on Evan.

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: So you're just basically, you know, projecting it straight up

58
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: that book was playing. Uka finished thirty three exactly. Wow,

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: So that that is an absolutely massive It's because some people,

60
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't even rank them. Somebody like ranked

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: them in the top ten, which is probably too high.

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: But if you nail a player like that exactly with

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: that wide range of outcomes, you're gonna have a good week,

64
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: so hoping you get like the third top finish in

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: four weeks, that might be a record. But I know

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: you're crushing in that rooting for you. I think I

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: had a bad week, so I'll just be cheering for

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: you probably the rest of the season.

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: It's interesting because you know, some of those things with

70
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: like the injured guys are tough, but the Bucks have

71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: data where it's like I just looked at their questionable

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: guys and it turns out like over the last three

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: years under Bowls, like eight percent or something like that,

74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: they're questionable guys played.

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: So I was just like, Okay, these guys are definitely

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: suiting up.

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: And then I just went and back and looked at

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: all the injury reports of like who is questionable how much,

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: and they all played around like two thirds of the

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: snaps they usually play.

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I just kind of it.

82
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: Was a little simpler than like, you know, he like

83
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: any like genius scientific thing, but hopefully.

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like you dug into the intery report.

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Most of us are just guessing. I ended up being

86
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: really low on Josh Jacobs. I thought there was a

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: legit chance he could miss, so I like lowered him

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: down to sixteen. I still had him like eighth on

89
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: our side or whatever. But those are kind of, you know,

90
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: just kind of a crap shoot and I think I missed. Yeah,

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I messed on Jacobs and some other like Yeah, I

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: had a booka like round wide receiver fifty so whatever.

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, didn't mention Jackson play through like a doubtful

94
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: tag years ago the Bucks. Yeah, rust in peace, but

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: I remember he played through a doubtful tag and scored

96
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: like three touchdowns. So we've kind of seen this with

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Bucks receivers and.

98
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: Man an rip muscle hamster Man. That's oh yeah, the

99
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: other one man but.

100
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: The Bucks legend. But yeah, that was that was sad

101
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: to say.

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: All right, Quarterback Waiver Wire, Week number eight, where do

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: you look at Sean?

104
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, until this guy is taken in over

105
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the leagues, I'm gonna roll with him.

106
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Jackson Dark is my top ad again this week. Yeah,

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: so until this happens, until he's available in less than

108
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent leagues, I'm gonna be taking him. And you

109
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: you even mentioned he doesn't even have his buy until

110
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: week fourteen, so this could be some time until he's

111
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: finally scooped up in more than half leagues. I think

112
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: it should happen soon. I mean, he could continues to

113
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: outperform expectations. He had that brutal matchup against the Broncos

114
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: this week and still went off. You know, granted that

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: opening touchdown to our favorite you know, tight end Daniel

116
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Bellinger was busted coverage, but maybe that's because you know,

117
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: they just have to worry about dark you know, using

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: his legs, you know, just escaping pressure. So you know,

119
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: his his rushing upside could lead to you know, opportunities

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game like we saw. So that was

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: just a wild game. He ended up crushing it once again.

122
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: I was low on him at the end of the

123
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: week with my rankings, Like again, it was a tough matchup.

124
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: But if he continues to outperform my projections, everybody's expectations,

125
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: you know, we're I'm probably gonna be ranking him too

126
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: low every week. So you know, I have him as

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a high end QB two this week. But this is

128
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: a matchup against the Eagles where he posted a top

129
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: five score just the other week, you know, with fifty

130
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards in the score. So I think you

131
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: just got to add him. You just got to bank

132
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: on the upside, and especially a week with six teams

133
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: on a buy, this is definitely the time to scoop

134
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: him up if you haven't already and you need help

135
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback.

136
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that, like some of these matchups for

137
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Dark in particular have been, you can't just kind of

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: look at the numbers against you know, the v the

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: defense is numbers against passing.

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: You have to kind of look at it.

141
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: You know, how much man coverage do they play because

142
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: a lot of these teams like Denver Philly that are

143
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: good against the pass, they do play a lot of

144
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: man coverage, which is why they're so good.

145
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: But that opens up rushing lanes.

146
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: So it's it's kind of an either or where I

147
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: think it would hurt, you know, like a pocket quarterback

148
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: a lot more against some of those some of those

149
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: better defenses. But speaking of pocket quarterbacks, I would target

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: to Flacco under waiver wire. He's still still somehow relevant

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: in fantasy, but you know, he's been throwing forty times

152
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: a game essentially the whole year and kind of continued

153
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Bengals, except now he's throwing the better receivers,

154
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: so you know, last couple of weeks, he's had a

155
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: couple of you know, multi touchdown games through the air,

156
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: you know, forty five and forty seven attempts, and that's

157
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: what he's gonna kind of do. He's not gonna be

158
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: able to scramble. He's not gonna throw deep every single

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: play and hang in the pocket like that. But he's

160
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: gonna get the ball out and keep it moving. And

161
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: I think, you know, throwing to Chase, throwing a Higgins

162
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: and these guys, it's it's gonna put up some decent numbers.

163
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's not a big it's not a great

164
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: week for streamers, those two what happens with some of

165
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 2: the injured guys. But Flacco's available to eighty eight percent

166
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: of weeks, throwing up against the Jets who are still

167
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: looking for a win. So don't mind Flacco at all here.

168
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: If you need a quarterback, where do you have him

169
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: ranked this week? Around like QB sixteen, like right on

170
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: that fringe, fifteen sixteen, Yeah, what about you?

171
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, QB fourteen, And it's not out of the question.

172
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: He could put up, you know, similar numbers to Burrow.

173
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Burrow doesn't really use his legs much. And you know,

174
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Flacco's throwing a ton and he has you know, arguably

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver duo in the league. So yeah,

176
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: like there's a chance he could be uh, you know,

177
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: a low end QB one the rest of the way.

178
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Just give him this, this scheme and he barely knows

179
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: the playbook. Now imagine what's he he learns the playbook

180
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: and has better chemistry with you know, Chase and Higgins.

181
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, unbelievable. Joe Flacco out here.

182
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: Having a better feat than Lamar Jackson at this point, all.

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: Things could see crazy since you know Lamar replaced them

184
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Nick lame back in the day.

185
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: All right, running back, who are you targeting on the

186
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: wire for Week eight?

187
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna start off with kylenag and I

188
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: available in ninety three percent of the leagues. I'm not

189
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: adding him because of the matchup. They're at Baltimore. This

190
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: is probably a bad spot to be leaning on him.

191
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: But you know, we saw him have a huge spike

192
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: in usage last week against the Saints, just a week

193
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: after you know, DeAndre Swift had a breakout game, and

194
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: you know he Kyle managed to put up thirteen carries

195
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: for eighty one yards and a touchdown in a game

196
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: where Swift also went off nineteen carries, one hundred and

197
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: twenty four yards in a touchdown. This could be sort

198
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: of the Monty Gibbs type situation under Ben Jonson forming

199
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and that's you know, when I was watching Monoganize film

200
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: at Rutgers before the draft, I was loving it. He

201
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: just does a really good job running through contact. And

202
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: when he ended up you know in Chicago, I thought, hey,

203
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: he could be, you know, the Montgomery role. So I

204
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: drafted him in my Dynasty league and I've loved what

205
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: I've seen so far. I know the coaching staff loves him.

206
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, Ben Johnson always raves about him whenever he's

207
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: brought up. So this could be a situation where you know,

208
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: the Bear could have two viable backs and if you

209
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: look at you know, their pass rate over expected. Ever

210
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: since the buy a few weeks ago, they've been much

211
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: more run heavy, So I think this is kind of

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: a trend that's going to continue. So yeah, he's an

213
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: RB three flex for me this week, just because six

214
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: teams are on by and like you know, there's eight

215
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: viable you know, fancy backs that are on by this week,

216
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: so he's all the way up to you know, RB

217
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: thirty five, but this is a tougher matchup. They could

218
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: be trailing on the road against Baltimore, but you know

219
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: he could have RB three flex value you know going forward,

220
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: and then you know RB two value if DeAndre Swift

221
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: misses time. So I think he's he's a must add

222
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: this this week if you know you want to fill

223
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: out your bench up the running back. He needs some

224
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: help or just long term stash. But liking what I

225
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: see with him. And then just as always, Tyler Ljier

226
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: available in sixty one percent league's has a great matchup

227
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: this week against the Dolphins, so he should already be

228
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, on someone's bench because he has RB one

229
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: upside if b On We're ever miss time. But these

230
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: are the weeks that you could actually trust him as

231
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: an RB three option. This is a spot where you

232
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: know the Falcons should lead this game most of the

233
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: way and lean on both backs, and this is a

234
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: spot where al Jiar should get you know, double digit

235
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: touches and against this Dolphins defense, so he should already

236
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: be rostered, but this week he is definitely a mustad.

237
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: I have n't as my RB thirty opened the week.

238
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is kind of you know a lot

239
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: of these NFC South teams, they just seem to be

240
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: with the exception of the Bucks, they seem they seem

241
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: to be much better at home. And so, you know,

242
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: like last last week against the Niners, it was kind

243
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: of like a predictable like the Falcons. You know, they're

244
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: coming off this big win at home against the Bills,

245
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: and before that it was the Commanders at home and

246
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: then they go on the road.

247
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: But now they're back home against Miami.

248
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: So he ass the smash spot Algier could get you know,

249
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: double digit carries, they could be blown them out.

250
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: So like that, TAIJ. Spears is the guy I think

251
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: should be targeting.

252
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: He's still available in about you know a little over

253
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: half leagues, and you know, he we we knew that

254
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: there was gonna be some changes in Tennessee and Spears

255
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: saw an uptacking usage. You know, was out snapped by

256
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: Power just thirty to twenty three. Power did you know,

257
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: catch a bunch of passes. But I think Spears is

258
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: the better pass catcher and Spears probably the.

259
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: Better just overall back.

260
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: And I know you've said that at times when we've

261
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: seen both of them kind of play. So I think

262
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: going forward, we're gonna see that kind of begin to

263
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: to kind of go be a fifty to fifty time share.

264
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: And with the way Tennessee's going up power as a

265
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: veteran guy, you know, who knows what what's gonna happen

266
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: with this team is going nowhere fast, So I would

267
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: expect Spears to kind of you know, be featured and

268
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: for them to kind of see what they have in

269
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: him moving forward.

270
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: You know, the issue with.

271
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: Him has just been injuries, but as long as he's healthy,

272
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 2: and this is a game that kind of sets up,

273
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: as you know, for the RB two or the pass

274
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: catching back to do work. Because you go into the

275
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: essentially the best team in the league right now, Indianapolis Coast, You're.

276
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: You're on the road. So yeah, like like Spears in

277
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: the spot, Yeah, I love that.

278
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: And if you look at like Camwart's first few games,

279
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: he refused to check down those back but I think

280
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: the new coaching staff has kind of told him, like, hey,

281
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: if you don't see something like check down in your back,

282
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: the target raight for his backs has gone way up

283
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,239
Speaker 1: the past couple of games.

284
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like hit your first read or check it

285
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: down like that's that's kind of what they said they

286
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: wanted to simplify, so I'm assuming that's probably what they Yeah,

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 2: all right, why receiver Week eight? Sean Kerner who you

288
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: like on the waiver wire?

289
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: No one really just another awful week at wide receiver.

290
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean we could just again, you know, hid another

291
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: wide receiver four that's gonna have his occasional big game,

292
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: and that's Alec Pierce available in ninety one percent of

293
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the league's but you know, he benefited last week from

294
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: Josh Downs being out and I guess Ashton Dulin to

295
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: a certain extent, but you know, Pierce is already getting

296
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: a ton of playing time, but when a player like

297
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Downs is out, you know he's going to get a

298
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: couple extra targets, which is massive for someone like Pierce

299
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: that you know he produces at a high rate when

300
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: he gets targets because they're typically downfield, explosive type play.

301
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: So he finished with five catches nine eight yards last week.

302
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: So he's just always a good option to have in

303
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: your back pocket and deeper leagues, I guess just in

304
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: case you need like a high ceiling type play, So

305
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, He's a decent upside sash short and long term.

306
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: But you know, Luther Burden the third is still available

307
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: in eighty seven percent of leagues. I thought he was

308
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: going to get a game with DJ Moore being out

309
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: last week, you know, more looked if he this time

310
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: last week, but he ended up shooting up and was fine.

311
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: So Burden, you know, still operating as the number four

312
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Bears. It's gonna be hard for

313
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: him to offer you know, consistent value in that role.

314
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: But if any one of the top three receivers were

315
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: to ever miss time, like, he could offer legit wide

316
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: receiver three plus value. So he's just the rare wide

317
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: receiver sitting out there that I think, you know, actually

318
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: has wide receiver two upside, So why not stash him

319
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, just going through these guys

320
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: that are going to be all of a week to week.

321
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I think Burden the third is still the best stash

322
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: out of all the vailable receivers right now. I'll give

323
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: it kind of.

324
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: The same like a veteran guy.

325
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: And then I got a little stash too, So the

326
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: veteran guy would I would scoop up Darnell Mooney again,

327
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: something I wrote about last week on the Niners Falcons breakdown.

328
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: But you know, Penicks just hasn't been as good on

329
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: the road. They're back home against a bad defense. Mooney

330
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: did play, you know, kind of most of the most

331
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: of his normal snap count. He'll be around eighty eighty

332
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: to ninety five percent most weeks as that number two receiver,

333
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: and Drake London's was getting targeted so much that I think,

334
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: you know, Penix is gonna have to continue to look

335
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: Mooney's direction, you know, as the season progresses, and he's

336
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: the kind of receiver that.

337
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: I think would help a Penix.

338
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: You know, he's been out there with what Casey Washington,

339
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: Ray Ray McLeod just got benched, I guess for run

340
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: blocking purposes. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely got to do it

341
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: run blocking because you know, and then you know David

342
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: Sills and canar Hodge doesn't even get many snaps anymore.

343
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: So I think Mooney is a big upgrade and will

344
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: help there. And you know, he's still available about seven

345
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: out of every ten leagues. Then he was the guy

346
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: that you know coming into the year, I think he

347
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: was a little banged up, but if he wasn't he

348
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: would have probably ranked, you know, a top forty receiver

349
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: even headed into the year. So like him and then

350
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: first Dash guy go with another Titan here because this

351
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: is the one team where their value is just so

352
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: low that you know, anybody could kind of emerge here.

353
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: So I think shim Ray DK is an interesting one.

354
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: You know, he had forced catches seven yards and a

355
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: touchdown for cam Warden that first game with the new

356
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: coaching staff. But more importantly, you know, he was the

357
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: primary slot receiver he played. He still played special teams,

358
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: but did play you know, like about two thirds about yeah,

359
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: about two thirds of snaps, all those slot snaps and

360
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: Tyra Lockett essentially after his release. So that kind of

361
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: means that DK probably jumped him, you know going forward,

362
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: or at least the coaches gave them, gave him some

363
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: kind of indication. So I could see this guy, you know,

364
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: popp it off. We're kind of looking for Io men r.

365
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: But I think it's just harder for him because it's

366
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: not a good team and he's gonna get more coverage

367
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: just you know, they kind of rousey runs and the

368
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: where he lines up, especially once you know, when Ridley's

369
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: back He's probably gonna be like the fifth guy in

370
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: the progression and the slat guy probably be higher. So yeah,

371
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: like like DK is a stash as well, he might

372
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: he might be what we wanted, you know, like burden

373
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: to be.

374
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Like it's like, yeah, yeah, he definitely has the opportunity.

375
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: Especially again, like you said, Lockett getting released is massive.

376
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: That was kind of he was kind of splitting. Lockett

377
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: started over him to begin the season and then they

378
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: kind of shared that role. So if Locke gone his

379
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, snapcout should go way up. And yeah, ioa

380
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: minor is kind of the default number one wide receiver

381
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: with Ridley out, but DK could end up being they're

382
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: legit you know, wide receiver one going forward. It depending

383
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: on what happens with Ridley.

384
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, I don't know if I had

385
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: I think I had Van Jefferson getting cut over before Lockett.

386
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: It was definitely something coming coming into the year. It's

387
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: like it was just a mismatch between all these rookie

388
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: guys and then like over the hill bets but uh,

389
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: tight end, tight end be fine, Well.

390
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: This is an easy one at this point, but Aronde

391
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: gets in the second Holy shit, seven catches one hundred

392
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: and sixty four yards and finally his first touchdown. I

393
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: finally cashed on him on our Touchdown show. I've been

394
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, talking him up for a couple weeks now.

395
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: It was really telling last week when Will Disley returned,

396
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: we finally just got to see this tight end room

397
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: fully healthy and Gatson had his season high end routes

398
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: run rate, so it was clear that the Chargers were

399
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: ready to do on Lesham. And you know, he just

400
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: reminds me of Darren Waller, who was also drafted in

401
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, the round five six range, went later in

402
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: the draft. It's still very talented. So Gatson's more of

403
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: just a pure pass catching tight end. And I had

404
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: written up in my tears last week, you know he

405
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: probably needs one of the top three receivers to offer

406
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: tight tight end one value. But everybody was healthy last

407
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: week and he put up I guess it was the best,

408
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, tight end game for a rookie since nineteen

409
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: eighty five or something crazy like that. And that's when

410
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: they're all healthy. So if you know, lad Or Quinton

411
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: or Keenan ever missed time, like his target share is

412
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: going to be even higher. And having said that I

413
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: have them as my tight end five to open the week.

414
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: So again, the last two weeks have not been fluky.

415
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: I think he is a must ad. Unfortunately, he probably

416
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: takes like a what fifteen to twenty percent bid right now,

417
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: depending on you know who your tight end is. If

418
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: you have Tyler and Warren, you're obviously not going to

419
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: bid on him. But I mean, t the tight end

420
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: position is so wide open, I would try to get him.

421
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: He's attached to Justin Herbert, you know, just a lot

422
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: to love about him, so yeah, don't be shy with him.

423
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I think the past couple of games were not fluky,

424
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, the sky's the limit when it

425
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: comes agats and.

426
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, the Chargers kind of almost lucked

427
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: out with their running back injuries because they can if

428
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: they haven't need an extra pass protector, they could just

429
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: leave you know, Hassan Haskins there out in there to

430
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: just pick up a butzing linebacker.

431
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 3: Let like dads go into the into the route.

432
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I think the Chargers have kind

433
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: of made it clear that they they want to feature

434
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: him more because they you know, they made Lambert Smith

435
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: the rookie wide receiver, and we've kind of seen them

436
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: cut back a little bit on that. They were one

437
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: of those teams that would have like an average of

438
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: like three wide receiver snaps per pass play, which essentially

439
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: mean you're always in that like one to one personnel

440
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: or or greater. And uh, you know, now they're kind

441
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: of it's scaling back a little bit to whether they're

442
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: even running more two tight end sets, you know, with

443
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: you know, Matt Locke and all those other guys too,

444
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: but against his query, the featured option, those guys aren't

445
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: even running routes half the time, all right, Kate Otton.

446
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: For me, I think he's still still gonna be relevant.

447
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: You know, we always see an uptick in him when

448
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: these bunks receivers start dropping like flies. And now Mike

449
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: Evans looks like he's you know out again. Uh, you know, Godwin,

450
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: we'll see what's going on with him. But he didn't

451
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: look Elsey at at any point in the season. Abuka's

452
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: back probably had his worst game, you know, in terms

453
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: of efficiency, But overall, I think Otton, he's probably.

454
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: Gonna see an uptick here.

455
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: Mayfield's still playing well and it's going to be a

456
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: team that's just going to throw the ball well and

457
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: at probably a high volumes most of the year. So

458
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: like I'm still available in about sixty percent of leagues.

459
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: I think he has another decent matchup against the Saints

460
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: this week. All right, defense, special teams Kerner, who do

461
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: you like?

462
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: Well, no brainer? This week? The Colts are available in

463
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: forty nine percent of the leagues and they face the Titans,

464
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: so just by default, they are my number one defense

465
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: this week. Picking on the Titans just continues to be

466
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: a cheat code. The Patriots posted nineteen points last week,

467
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: finishes the number two defense. The Browns were the top

468
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: defense last week. I think you call them our dfs.

469
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: Good stuff there to what do you finished with minus

470
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: nine Fantasy points or something crazy but ridiculous. Maybe I

471
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: want to pick on the Dolphins as well, but this

472
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: is a matchup where I think the sack upside for

473
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: the Colts is massive. Last two is in the midst

474
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: of a breakout. He was part of my sack luck

475
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: parley and he he had nine pressures picked up a sack.

476
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: More sacks are coming for him. But DeForrest Buckner and

477
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Quitty pay should also feast here, so you know this

478
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: should be a multi sack game, you know, potential for turnovers.

479
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: They're what fourteen point favorites. Now they probably won't cover, right,

480
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: That's just there's no way, there's no way there should

481
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: be there's no way they should be anything less than

482
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, like a fourteen point favorite. But yeah, it's

483
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: just this checks every box. So this is a rare week.

484
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: I think if you're a win now mode, you have

485
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: plenty of fab I would bid a couple of dollars

486
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: just to secure the Colts this week. There are situations

487
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: like that where I think it's fair to kind of

488
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: bid on a defense, even if it's a one week streamer.

489
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: And I think the Cults fit that description this week.

490
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: For me, Yeah, yeah, it's tough. I'm I probably don't

491
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 3: bid it.

492
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 2: I just I would just hope that like no one

493
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: needs you know, kind of like it's kind of like

494
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: with the tight End too.

495
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: It's like you just kind of.

496
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: Hope no one needs them, and and and they get

497
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: they go for like nothing in your league or they're

498
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: still available.

499
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: But I still think running back is going to be

500
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: the priority.

501
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: But well, that's a good that's a good point. I

502
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: as someone with like the Algiers and charbonnets on my

503
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: bench already. That One of the things I love about

504
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: doing that is I usually don't have to bid that

505
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: much on ther running back throughout the year. I just

506
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: have those guys on my bench. So yeah, it depends

507
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: on your situation, don't you know. Be don't be stupid.

508
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm bid on a defense every week. There are exceptions.

509
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: I just think if you're in a good spot, you're

510
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: a win that mode. And like, what the top defense

511
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: this week? I bid a couple bucks. Again, this is

512
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: a rare time I would do that.

513
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: Of course for me, it's the Buffalo Bills going to Carolina.

514
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: Now Carolina another one of these things. They are better

515
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: at home. But you know, Wright is kind of on

516
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: the wall.

517
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: You know.

518
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: McDermott knows this this Carolina team a little bit, you know,

519
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: from his days back there. And then they got Bryce

520
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 2: Young dealing with an injury, so you might get some

521
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: Andy Dawson, which not not great I don't think for

522
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 2: for I mean, it's it's good for the Panthers probably,

523
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: but it's not it's good for the opposing defense because

524
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: they'll probably throw more with any Dulton and you probably

525
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 2: throw more interceptions, and you know, get sacked more and whatnot.

526
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: So I actually like it if Dalton plays even more.

527
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: But they're still available in about six out of every

528
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: ten leagues, and you know, coming off you know, kind

529
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: of a long break here, I think it's a good

530
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: spot to target to them. They should be a little

531
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: healthier on defense, which they haven't been most of the year.

532
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna ask if like Dalton would change

533
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: your projection up, but you kind of answered it the

534
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: fact that they'll they'll probably drop back more, just more

535
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: opportunities for sacks and turnovers.

536
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

537
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean, they'll definitely try to run on the Bills too,

538
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: but you know, coming off the break, I think it's

539
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: the Bills will be ready for it.

540
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: All right.

541
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: Kicker's closed out. Who you like for Week eight on

542
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: the waiver wire? Yeah, I think I think this is

543
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: a pretty good week for streaming kicker. Looking forward to

544
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: see who you have, because I think there's like six

545
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: or seven great options.

546
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to just go with the guy. He's my

547
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: number nine rank kicker, but I still consider him to be,

548
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, one of the best kickers in the league,

549
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: so I'm going to use that as a tiebreaker. It's

550
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: will Reiker at LA, so you know he's going to

551
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: be kicking indoors even though he's on the road. But

552
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, he easily cashed on my over one and

553
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: a half field goals made last week another just sweat

554
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: free bet. I think he had five field goals made,

555
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: including a fifty nine yarder, and part of my rideup

556
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: was he was eight of nine on the season, his

557
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: lone miss being that fifty one yarder in London that

558
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: hit a wire. It it probably would have gone in.

559
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: He and his agents were trying to get it scrubbed

560
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: from the official statlog, and you know what, Will I

561
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: took care of it in my model. I didn't kind

562
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: of as a make. I just you know, omitted it

563
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: like it didn't happen. So he's still a perfect you

564
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: know whatever. It is thirteen of thirteen on the season now,

565
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: so he just grades really highly in my model. They're

566
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: comfortable kicking at you know, he could make anything from

567
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: sixty plus. So, you know, another it sounds like it's

568
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna be another week of Carson Wentz Center Center, which

569
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: I think helps get them across midfield. And then this

570
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: is a good Chargers defense, so I think they could

571
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: slow him down. And again, this is a spot where

572
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: he could end up kicking you know, a few field goals,

573
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: some longer ones. So even though he's ninth in my model,

574
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: I just personally kind of like push him up just

575
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: because he is such a good kicker. Is the charge?

576
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: Are the charges a good defense? And it looked like

577
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: it for some three weeks.

578
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes they can be good, good enough to, let's

579
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: put it this way, good enough to kind of give

580
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: Carson went some fits once they get in scoring range. Yeah.

581
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm actually going with the money badger here, just targeting

582
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: the Titans.

583
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: Again.

584
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: He's available in eighty eight percent of leagues, and the

585
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: Colts kicker on the year which Trader and bagged, he

586
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 2: is the kicker too. Overall, in the last couple of weeks,

587
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 2: it's been almost all touchdowns, though, so you do expect

588
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: eventually them to get some more field goals. They only

589
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: had two field goal attempts in the last three weeks

590
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: have the Indianapolis Colts. That's how good they've been on offense.

591
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: But you look at this last game against the Titans

592
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: and Schrader had three field goal attempts and five extra

593
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: point attest He actually missed one of the field goals too,

594
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: so there's upside for you know, fifteen points, league leading stuff.

595
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: And you know the coach will move the ball so

596
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: they you know, money Badgers thing is like the long

597
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: field goals, but they'll they'll probably be in you know,

598
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: the red zone all day, so you know anytime it's

599
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a high floor, high ceiling spot for

600
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 2: Badly here.

601
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 3: So like him up against Tennessee.

602
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: All right, that is gonna do it for our NFL
