Speaker 1: buddy with barack Oswilder and the Miami Dolphins and a
Speaker 1: slobber knocker headed down to Houston. Were there seven and
Speaker 1: a half point underdogs. Sure we'll get into that game
Speaker 1: later on. Certainly we're creeping closer to week A man,
Speaker 1: like we say every single week, just flying by, flying by,
Speaker 1: was flying by my waivers are around. This is weird.
Speaker 1: Used to run at noon and it's twelve four? How
Speaker 1: you doing? Greg? Are it okay? Man? I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: last night and they actually waken up every morning at
Speaker 1: like four thirty, I don't know, and then I go
Speaker 1: back to sleep. But it's been pretty consistent, very tired.
Speaker 1: Duty's playing frying of tricks on your something. She's probably
Speaker 1: probably snore and kicking them as my guess. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so something. I've just started doing it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. Um just start happening now in
Speaker 1: my life. So last night we we clicked the NOOKI
Speaker 1: you remember, Oh yeah, how was that? Very bad? Very bad?
Speaker 1: Don't do homemade yoki, just buy thenochi but you could
Speaker 1: buy nook like or not or just fresh. It went terribly,
Speaker 1: really bad. Canna tell the story? You might have? I
Speaker 1: started off the show the story, sayed it for later.
Speaker 1: I know you you're particular about these things. Whatever you want, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, you want me to say it for later,
Speaker 1: say later. I'm not. You might as well keep going,
Speaker 1: all right, so you're not gonna listen to me anyway?
Speaker 1: I was what are you started to do? All right?
Speaker 1: We bought the basil over the weekend. The pesto sauce
Speaker 1: they put at the top by fridge, so it got
Speaker 1: too cold and it like got like brown. So we
Speaker 1: made I made fresh pesto sauce, and it was just
Speaker 1: like too basially and too sour. So I had to
Speaker 1: go to the supermarket and buy more basil. So already
Speaker 1: the disaster. Right, made the paste beautiful, made the pesto
Speaker 1: cream right made it. Put it in there a little butter,
Speaker 1: little cream, dude. It was amazing. The pesto sauce itself
Speaker 1: was amazing. It's a great start, Judy, being homemade garlic
Speaker 1: knots at a dough perfect, It's great. Right Yeah, thenocchi disaster.
Speaker 1: The reason why the word no is in yoki, that's right,
Speaker 1: disaster man, like we it would Basically it felt like
Speaker 1: I was eating mashed potatoes in pesto sauce. I don't
Speaker 1: like mask. You're not Italian, so I mean you don't
Speaker 1: know how to make minyoki. I tried, We really tried.
Speaker 1: We either. We said next time we will only buy
Speaker 1: the nochi like pesto sauce. People will buy the nyoka.
Speaker 1: It was a foul man sounds like it would have
Speaker 1: been a sick dinner though, Dude, we spake. If you
Speaker 1: actually bought the nioki pre made and you had them
Speaker 1: and then you made a fresh pesto and you got
Speaker 1: the garlic bread, that would have been awesome. Nuts. That
Speaker 1: is like a Frank special dinner, like carbs on top
Speaker 1: of carbs, a creamy sauce, and it was all real. God,
Speaker 1: it was terrible. Frank, why my waivers not coming through?
Speaker 1: This is bothering me anything else besides waivers? Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: So this is the part of the stories. We made
Speaker 1: the yoki and it took a long time. Like we
Speaker 1: started at sixty five, Like Judy left the work early.
Speaker 1: I got out of here. We and we normally like
Speaker 1: hang out and then start cooking. We got right into
Speaker 1: it because we knew it was gonna be a thing, right.
Speaker 1: It took We took literally two hours to do. By
Speaker 1: the time I was done clean up everything, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of cleanup. It's three hours. This is a three
Speaker 1: hour straviganza. So then we go back and Judy puts
Speaker 1: on a show named The Kitchen where just like they
Speaker 1: start making stuff like it was like old school Food
Speaker 1: Network type style in the food, Well, Honny baking I
Speaker 1: always watched to be nice and then the kitchens like
Speaker 1: she loves that stuff. And I'm saying in the cash
Speaker 1: was look at that, look at this, look at this
Speaker 1: like a Judy. I'm out, like I was just taking
Speaker 1: my fan duel team. I'm just I'm sorry, I can't
Speaker 1: look at this, look at this the kitchen. That's the
Speaker 1: point for at a ten on IMDb. Then I started
Speaker 1: falling asleep on the couch and I was getting yelled
Speaker 1: at for that, and I was like, I'm done. Are
Speaker 1: you getting yelled at for sleeping because he wanted me
Speaker 1: to watch? Why do you have to watch forced her
Speaker 1: to watch wrestling sometimes? Really? Oh? Then I guess it's
Speaker 1: fair for sure. Well, I shad to watch Roman rain
Speaker 1: speech this week. Obviously, I actually didn't watch the entire thing.
Speaker 1: I saw some some clips of it on Twitter. Who's said,
Speaker 1: did you watch a little thing? Oh? Man? I probably should?
Speaker 1: Um Robert digs As because Frank, I'm upset we have
Speaker 1: Greg's elbow pads pin this year. It's still it's only October.
Speaker 1: Did you get upset about it only October? Greg? You
Speaker 1: know what that it's funny you pointed out Greg is
Speaker 1: a Greg is a sensitive guy like he When Florio
Speaker 1: and myself used to bash them about the elbow pads,
Speaker 1: I used to take that into consideration. Did when I
Speaker 1: was when I would put something on, when I put
Speaker 1: something on in the morning, I would look at the
Speaker 1: had the elbow pads, like, I can't wear this today.
Speaker 1: I have a switter with elbow pads. Should we should
Speaker 1: be planning an elbow pad Friday tomorrow. Let's do it. Um,
Speaker 1: I already know what I'm wearing tomorrow. It picks out
Speaker 1: his clothes with the whole one. I look, I was
Speaker 1: looking at my clothes. I'll wear this tomorrow. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure it has a little bit elbow You know how
Speaker 1: I hate showering in the morning. Greg also hate picking
Speaker 1: out my clothes. Do you think about the night before? No? Never,
Speaker 1: So I'm always like fifteen minutes late, every single every
Speaker 1: single day. It's pretty much a lock. But yeah, I've
Speaker 1: had so much stuff to do at nights, i haven't
Speaker 1: been able to shower at nights, and now I'm showering
Speaker 1: in the morning picking out my clothes in the mornings. Great, No,
Speaker 1: it's not great. It's terrible. I hated, why sucks? Why
Speaker 1: I just don't like showering in the morning. I like
Speaker 1: rolling out of bed, brushing my teeth, put it on
Speaker 1: my clothes and leaving it like I like waking up
Speaker 1: with like fifteen minutes to spare. Yeah, I used to
Speaker 1: do that one. It was the six Am Show. That
Speaker 1: was what I did for that. Your six am is
Speaker 1: my ten am. Now I stroll in here like seven
Speaker 1: fifty am. It's great stuff. Greg, you jump into some rankings,
Speaker 1: what do you want to do coming out ten minutes
Speaker 1: from now? A lot of weird injuries, right, So when
Speaker 1: I was picking out my best Fantasy five, which you
Speaker 1: can now get on Rotal experts dot com along with
Speaker 1: my Week eight ranks, a lot of what I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about was contingent on players being out, Like,
Speaker 1: for example, you know, we'll probably talk more about running
Speaker 1: back and wife twoyears tomorrow, but Ronald Jones, Like if
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber's out this week, Ronald Jones is in a
Speaker 1: good position with four teams on by against the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: who have not been great against running backs, especially lately.
Speaker 1: I mean, we just saw a Kareem hunted against him
Speaker 1: last week, Ronald Jones is in a good spot to
Speaker 1: be a flex option, but that's contingent on Peyton Barber
Speaker 1: being out this week. There are a few plays like
Speaker 1: that too. Um No, we want to like if if
Speaker 1: Sony michells out, Kenyan Barner becomes a flex option against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Yep, we're not gonna know until Monday.
Speaker 1: Same thing with uh with Lashaw McCoy and Chris Ivory.
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of injury this week where
Speaker 1: the backups to those players instantly become high end flex options,
Speaker 1: but it is contingent on those starters being out with injury.
Speaker 1: So I'm very interested to hear what dr has to
Speaker 1: say about some of these guys. Yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: really really interesting for Sony Michelle, for Lashan McCoy, who
Speaker 1: we put on their battley and ankle and a concussion.
Speaker 1: Um so so, especially with everyone trying to set their
Speaker 1: lineups for tonight, what you're gonna do? We do know
Speaker 1: that tonight both starting wide receivers are two or three
Speaker 1: starting wide receivers for Miami are ruled out Albert Wilson's
Speaker 1: and i Are Kenny still has been ruled out. We've
Speaker 1: all assumed as Danny Almondola show, DeVante Parker gets a
Speaker 1: shot as those Jachim Grant, are you starting legitimately? Want
Speaker 1: to start any of them tonight? I know we normally
Speaker 1: do you running back wide receiver rankings tomorrow and that's final.
Speaker 1: We'll getting into it tomorrow. But the Miami Dolphins wide receivers,
Speaker 1: where are there right now? Frankie? So? I have Danny
Speaker 1: am Dolo just outside of my top thirty six, but
Speaker 1: if you're hurting on a buy, I could see using
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver three or a flex option.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, the most targeted wide receiver one
Speaker 1: week ago for brock Osweiler, and it seems like he's
Speaker 1: kind of like the safety blanket right now. So as
Speaker 1: long as he's healthy, you want to get Danny Avendola
Speaker 1: in your lineup just because the process of elimination, there's
Speaker 1: not much else there. It's Jaccheine Grant, it's Savante Barker,
Speaker 1: and Jachine Grant to have a little bit lower. I
Speaker 1: think he barely sneaks inside of my top fifty at
Speaker 1: wide receiver this week. Ideally for the Dolphins wide receivers
Speaker 1: outside of Amandola, I'd want to take a wait and see.
Speaker 1: Like we obviously recommended Jacheine Grant as a waiver wire ad,
Speaker 1: but if he, you know, has a long touchdown tonight
Speaker 1: and it's on my bench, I don't really care all
Speaker 1: that much because I kind of want to see what
Speaker 1: his usage is like this week, now that Kenny Stills
Speaker 1: is out, now that Albert Wilson is out, I kind
Speaker 1: of want to see what his snap percentages, like, what
Speaker 1: his target shares, like, how often he's used. The one
Speaker 1: guy I do trust tonight. If you are in a
Speaker 1: pinch and need to start a wide receiver tonight is
Speaker 1: Danny A Mendola that's on the Dolphins side. Obviously we
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins, who could see Xavien Howard, so it's
Speaker 1: not the greatest matchup, but DeAndre Hopkins is obviously matchup proof,
Speaker 1: and without Kiki qt, Will Fuller checks in as a
Speaker 1: low end wide receiver to assuming that he will not
Speaker 1: be the one that sees a lot of exaving Howard.
Speaker 1: Nobody bid on Jachem Grant, who is now on my team.
Speaker 1: Your job, but just pick him up to that Are
Speaker 1: you gonna start him? Oh? No, no, I don't. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not going I'm not going to start him.
Speaker 1: I chose him over Nelson Aghalore, who you told me
Speaker 1: to do that yesterday. Yeah, they asked you that. Try
Speaker 1: to make sure has not done anything since alshon Jeffrey's return.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you this though. Mohamedsan New is also
Speaker 1: out there. He's gonna buy this week. Should have done
Speaker 1: that over Jachine Grant probably, Yeah, I didn't. You see,
Speaker 1: obviously you were watching the Falcons and uh and Giants
Speaker 1: came on Monday night. They were consistently consistently saying that
Speaker 1: the Falcons have the best wide receiver trio in the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's not true. I feel like we would be able
Speaker 1: to find a better trio the Rams. But are they though, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean listen, Julio is on another level, all right,
Speaker 1: So that's basically what it is. Like Julio is the
Speaker 1: best of that bunch. But it's like you have more
Speaker 1: talent in the next three on the Rams than you
Speaker 1: do and album really and I mean it's not a
Speaker 1: knock on them, but yeah, they can. They were consistently
Speaker 1: being that into the ground on Monday night. The best
Speaker 1: wide receiver trio in the NFL. Does I like Tested store,
Speaker 1: but like that's kind what he does. The more that
Speaker 1: game points out how excited Joe Tested gets over every
Speaker 1: single play, the more I notice it and the more
Speaker 1: I hated now too. Yeah, I got it, but it's
Speaker 1: like Sean McDonald get excited over like a fifteen yard slant.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's the first down. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like another first star. It sounds like a guy is
Speaker 1: going through a table like Jim Ross calling it all
Speaker 1: over again on every single play. Quick question, where is
Speaker 1: John Allison ranking in your He is inside my top
Speaker 1: thirty six. He's actually one of the players that I'm
Speaker 1: higher on than the consensus, and I actually wrote about
Speaker 1: this week. There's there's some risk involved just because you
Speaker 1: don't know how the Packers wide receivers are going to
Speaker 1: be deployed. Outside of Davante Adams. You know he's gonna
Speaker 1: get his, but you don't know. Are we gonna see
Speaker 1: more Randall Cobb is Mark has Valdes Scantling, gonna see
Speaker 1: more work on the outside, taking away some from Geronimo Allison.
Speaker 1: I just think what we've seen at Geronimo Allison in
Speaker 1: Fantasy this year, the guys had at least sixty yards
Speaker 1: in every game. He had a touchdown in two out
Speaker 1: of four games that he played. He was wide receiver
Speaker 1: twenty five and points per game in the four games
Speaker 1: that he played. It just seems like there's a connection
Speaker 1: there with Aaron Rodgers. And honestly, I want a piece
Speaker 1: of this Packer's offense, especially the passing game. Going up
Speaker 1: against the Rams with the fifty six and a half
Speaker 1: point game total, that's the highest total on the slate
Speaker 1: in Week eight, and they're nine and a half point dogs,
Speaker 1: so Vegas expects the Pig the Packers to be chasing
Speaker 1: a ton of points here. I want to get Jeronalo
Speaker 1: Allison in my lineup, all right. That that makes me
Speaker 1: feel great to be honestly, because I was deciding between
Speaker 1: um Jaime Grant and Jeronimo Allison this weekend. Pretty high.
Speaker 1: That's that's not really all that close for me. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start Kenyan Drake tonight against Houston, so expecting it.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's something there. I also like that I have
Speaker 1: him as Look, he's a low nd RB two, he's
Speaker 1: a high INFLEXI option. He is what he is but
Speaker 1: if he doesn't break off one of these long touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and what is he giving you, Because then he's giving
Speaker 1: you like ten of twelve touches hopefully, because that's the
Speaker 1: way that Adam Gates is using him right now, like
Speaker 1: hen consistently getting out carried by Frank Gore. Um. Where
Speaker 1: he does help you is if the Dolphins fall behind,
Speaker 1: they're going to throw to him a ton especially now
Speaker 1: with those receiving options going down Stills Um obviously Albert
Speaker 1: Wilson as well. That might open up even more targets
Speaker 1: for Kenyan Drake, who you know, that's the one part,
Speaker 1: that's the one part of his game where he's actually
Speaker 1: been excelling and he's been giving you know, hope for
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. So I like Kenyan Drake as a you know,
Speaker 1: low nd RB two tonight. But there is some volatility
Speaker 1: just because his inconsistent usage. But I mean that's part
Speaker 1: of the courts. You can just you can clip that
Speaker 1: out and you can say it again next week, you
Speaker 1: can say it again the week after that. I have
Speaker 1: a question for you. I I have, well, I have
Speaker 1: three running backs, No. Four running backs were all ranked
Speaker 1: within five spots in my rankings. It's Kenyan Drake, Doug Martin,
Speaker 1: Crow Well, Rahan Moster. It's like, do I start Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake tonight? You only selling one of them? I can
Speaker 1: start one of them and he's use the other in
Speaker 1: my flex. I want crawl. I want to roa crawl.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm buying into this Doug Martin stuff
Speaker 1: from from Jon Ruden saying he's gonna be our feature back.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, just because you're feature back doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you're you know, you're good. Peyton Barbow was
Speaker 1: a feature back for the tam Baby. Here. We haven't
Speaker 1: seen Doug Martin do anything in the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: What if he's getting fifteen sixteen touches a game in
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, and that's
Speaker 1: why I have him ranked where I do he's I
Speaker 1: currently have him as a low n RB two high
Speaker 1: in flex. How Martin, there's four teams on a buy
Speaker 1: Mostart has a great matchup going up against the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and if Matt Breed is out, maybe he sees more like,
Speaker 1: you know, twelve touches in this game. And he has
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks so I got myself, I
Speaker 1: got myself a little pickle here to night. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start Kenyan Drake honestly, so I have something
Speaker 1: to watch tonight, which is probably not the way to go.
Speaker 1: But they're all they're all ranked around the same area. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do not use Kenyon. I like Crowell and Martin
Speaker 1: Moore that him, so here I have Crowell two is
Speaker 1: just the mar what is the league? Have PBR alright,
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't start most That's the why I would
Speaker 1: rule out pretty easily. Um, you're starting to flesh what
Speaker 1: wide receiver you're starting over? What what wide receiver are
Speaker 1: you starting these guys over? Okay, I have Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: and Sammy Watkins, who I'm deciding for my wide receiver
Speaker 1: three spot. Have Godwin in right now. I just think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of points scored in that in that
Speaker 1: Bengals game and end, and then I have those running
Speaker 1: backs and Sammy Watkins for reflex. Yeah, so I would
Speaker 1: do my RB two inflex. No, honestly, i'd probably start
Speaker 1: this is so gross. I'd probably start crawling Martin. But
Speaker 1: here here, here's how I have and have curl welts
Speaker 1: twenty two, Doug Martin twenty three, Kenyan Drake twenty four,
Speaker 1: he most or twenty six. All right, so I wasn't
Speaker 1: so I wasn't so wrong? Then no you're not. But like,
Speaker 1: why are you wait? Because I have to ask you this.
Speaker 1: You just said I'm gonna start Kenyan Drake tonight, Then
Speaker 1: why don't you have them ranked? About the other guys
Speaker 1: you on your own team that have this option are
Speaker 1: not following your own rankings? Okay, what's what's in your
Speaker 1: PVR rankings? We'll have PPR rankings. Have Isaiah Crawl twenty three,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drink, Doug Martin twenty five. So there you got it,
Speaker 1: and you should start Curl and you should start drinking
Speaker 1: like I mean either way, I mean you're picking, you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're just putting hairs here. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: mean you can't kill me for one and to start
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drink switch then I want you to switch it
Speaker 1: that I'm not. Then you just start your guys and
Speaker 1: half PPR Kenyan Drake is higher than Doug bart Crawl.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll be right backs Fantasy best Friends forever.

Speaker 1: Friends Forever Fantasy. We've been calling Doctor. I'll get him
Speaker 1: on in among Frank before we do Thursday Night Football tonight.
Speaker 1: We've been on the Dolphins side a lot. We've always
Speaker 1: look really interesting during the break. Lama Miller is where
Speaker 1: this week he is begrudgingly RB fourteen Greg. That makes
Speaker 1: him a high end R beats end. If you read
Speaker 1: my best Fantasy fives, you made it. You made it
Speaker 1: into my artcle. What's you the dismay of my bff?
Speaker 1: Mark Miller is set up for success on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football against them? Why? Greg? Over the last month, the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have allowed the second most fantasy points supposing
Speaker 1: running backs. They've just been getting shredded. They've allowed seven
Speaker 1: ninety three total yards in six total touchdowns. They're having
Speaker 1: eighteen rushing yards per game opposing running backs. Mark Miller,
Speaker 1: let's talk to drudown inside injuries right now. Dr what's
Speaker 1: going on in Hey guys? How are you guys doing
Speaker 1: a little technical snaff? Who apologize for that? Oh good?
Speaker 1: We're happy to have you here for sure. And Doc,
Speaker 1: a lot of running back injuries this week, and we
Speaker 1: want to break it down. I've asked. We're just talking
Speaker 1: about Chris Ivory before and the Bills and what's to
Speaker 1: make Lashawn McCoy. So let me start there. What is
Speaker 1: the latest on Shady McCoy. So, you know, the we've
Speaker 1: always talked about McCoy at high injury risk, you know,
Speaker 1: even before the season started. So grade one concussion, so
Speaker 1: not a grade two, but still, uh, he's the ferry
Speaker 1: factor that he's still in concussion protocol, um, you know,
Speaker 1: is not really a good sign are healthy to return
Speaker 1: his week nine. He should not play in week eight
Speaker 1: just for the you know the risk of having a
Speaker 1: repeat concussion, um, you know, and you know the lengthy
Speaker 1: injury history has had. He's he missed four games in
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve with a concussion, missed four games. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't a simple concussion in two thousand twelve, So
Speaker 1: this is his second, almost not as severe, but it's still,
Speaker 1: you know, his second concussion. So the very fact that
Speaker 1: if he does try to play in in in week eight,
Speaker 1: it's not a good sign you should avoid him as
Speaker 1: a fantasy owner. Um, he will remain at high as
Speaker 1: he has been all along. Um, when you're at high,
Speaker 1: in our books, that means by the midway point in
Speaker 1: the season, you have sustained, um, you know, at least
Speaker 1: one or more significant injuries. So by week eight, you
Speaker 1: know he's already suffered that, and unfortunately he's gonna stay
Speaker 1: at high injury risk the whole year. So, Greg, normally
Speaker 1: we would want Chris Ivory to be a flex option
Speaker 1: this week on Monday Night. But really the only way
Speaker 1: you could do that is if you have another plan
Speaker 1: set up in case Losaw McCoy plays. It doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like he's going to, but there's still a chance that
Speaker 1: he does. Obviously he can get ruled out over the weekend. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I would go into that that Monday night game with
Speaker 1: maybe a combination of Ivory and Kenyan Barner and to
Speaker 1: see like, all right, one of these running backs are
Speaker 1: gonna play. You could do that's also about You could
Speaker 1: do that for sure. You could also and this sounds ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but if you have like advanced McDonald on your team,
Speaker 1: start McDonald at tight end and you have Gronk and
Speaker 1: you have that Gronk combination at the flex potentially versus
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory type thing, maybe that could work as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a weird week again because of all these
Speaker 1: injuries and the game is on Monday night. But you
Speaker 1: know I mentioned Kenyan Barner dr Ray, so that's where
Speaker 1: I want to go next. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: about Sony Michelle, a player who was dealing with a
Speaker 1: knee injury throughout the preseason, kind of limited him early
Speaker 1: on in this season, now dealing with another knee injury
Speaker 1: which he quote avoided structural damage. We were talking about
Speaker 1: Sonny Michelle yesterday on our trade show. Someone wanted to
Speaker 1: trade away Sonny Michelle, and I was a little bit hesitant,
Speaker 1: But I also did mentioned that I assumed that you know,
Speaker 1: you and inside injuries would be kind of pessimistic about
Speaker 1: Sonny Michelle. Here how do you guys feel about him?
Speaker 1: And he's probably not in the play and we get right.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone did not like statistics when they grew
Speaker 1: up and went to school and they said, oh, it's
Speaker 1: the most boring thing we had but week, but it
Speaker 1: does unfortunately prove to be right. We had Sonny Michelle
Speaker 1: had elevated injury risk before the season because of his
Speaker 1: multiple knee injuries at Georgia as well as you know
Speaker 1: UM in the preseason, and we knew that again this
Speaker 1: would come to haunt him, and unfortunately even before the
Speaker 1: midway point of the season it has. Now remember this
Speaker 1: is the Patriots, and the injury information that comes out
Speaker 1: of the Patriots on our board, it's like blaring red,
Speaker 1: blaring red. You know, it's like, you know, this is
Speaker 1: what they're saying, this is what it's translating to. Okay,
Speaker 1: and so you know, given all of that, we have
Speaker 1: him an elevated injury risk. UM. He should not be
Speaker 1: back until week eleven. Right now, he's at fifty nine percent,
Speaker 1: So basically he needs to get to a D to
Speaker 1: eight five percent before you would even think about putting
Speaker 1: him on the field. And that looks like it's going
Speaker 1: to be week eleven. Um, when when they say m
Speaker 1: R I shows no structural damage, remember we got we
Speaker 1: went into all of this. It could mean that it's
Speaker 1: a severe sprain. It could mean that there's a tear
Speaker 1: within the tendant, so it's like an interest substance tear,
Speaker 1: and so it could be as high as a Grade
Speaker 1: three injury. We've listed in him as a Great two
Speaker 1: injury for now. Um, but UM, you know, the only
Speaker 1: time where it says that there is structural damage means
Speaker 1: it is the tendon or ligament has torn completely. So
Speaker 1: that's a minimum of a Grade four injury, which is
Speaker 1: sort of a season ender. So no structural damage does
Speaker 1: not mean that okay, everything looks okay. That means that
Speaker 1: it's that it's likely a great to possibly a Great
Speaker 1: three injury and he should not come back until week eleven.
Speaker 1: And we spoke about this yesterday, Greg. They actually have
Speaker 1: the week eleven by, so we could potentially not see
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle until week twelve, and that's what you had
Speaker 1: speculated on UM. I think for those owners who picked
Speaker 1: up Kenyan Barne, you feel pretty good about that right now,
Speaker 1: assuming the team doesn't sign another back like Mike less lee.
Speaker 1: But if if he's still out there, I would say,
Speaker 1: go out there and pick up Kenyan Barner. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess you're right, and we kind of speculated on that yesterday.
Speaker 1: You're right in that both of both of you guys
Speaker 1: are are totally on the on the nose here, because
Speaker 1: if we could Levin's optimal and I have to buy
Speaker 1: and we swell he's more realistic, and that would really
Speaker 1: is brutal. That's why I told my buddy to make
Speaker 1: that David Johnson trade. And that also pushes James White
Speaker 1: back into our body more territory. Actually, he's not just
Speaker 1: gonna see the five or six carries like you was before.
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna see more like ten to twelve carries
Speaker 1: in addition to his six to eight targets that he
Speaker 1: was already getting. We've hit two A F C. E.
Speaker 1: S teams. Let me get to the third, and that's
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Blah Pal's out for the year
Speaker 1: and potentially forever with the neck injury. We've seen more
Speaker 1: and more of these very scary neck injuries over the
Speaker 1: past few years in the NFL. Blah Powell the latest
Speaker 1: victim of that right now, Isaiah Crawl is the starter.
Speaker 1: Cannon is a backup, but Elijah McGuire returned to practice
Speaker 1: this past week. What's the latest update on McGuire and
Speaker 1: will he be healthy and ready to rock as soon
Speaker 1: as next week? Yeah. Injury day was in July of
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. Um, you know, Uh, he had
Speaker 1: his HTR at week six on our book, so ten
Speaker 1: week recovery. This is a very very small, non displaced
Speaker 1: foot fracture. Heals very well, looks like he has come
Speaker 1: back and not had any significant setbacks on his recovery.
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, we anticipated originally him coming back
Speaker 1: in week six and you know it's already week eight,
Speaker 1: so we don't see any potential flaws there. Um. So
Speaker 1: he's already above UM, he's at which basically means that
Speaker 1: he's back to peak health. He just crossed the border
Speaker 1: to peak health. UM. But he's at an elevated injury
Speaker 1: risk at eighteen percent. So running backs with foot fractures
Speaker 1: tend to recur. Uh, they tend to recur not in
Speaker 1: the next very next game, but they do tend to
Speaker 1: recur over the next four to six games. So that's
Speaker 1: why he's elevated injury risk at eighteen percent, that will
Speaker 1: not go down until probably if he doesn't have a
Speaker 1: fracture this year, then it will probably go back down
Speaker 1: next year. So just be cause shift. He's back, he's
Speaker 1: at peak, but eighteen percent injury risk. Um so, it's
Speaker 1: one of these high risk, high reward type of guys.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Elijah McGuire is healthy right now,
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's ready to go. But the injury risk
Speaker 1: of doing something else in that foot, especially as a
Speaker 1: running back, UH is pretty high as well. So let's
Speaker 1: keep that in back your mind when you go out
Speaker 1: and pick him off this week. I think the way
Speaker 1: that doctor laid it out, high risk, higher reward is
Speaker 1: exactly what we're looking at here. Blal Powell we consistently
Speaker 1: ranked as a flex option running back. With him now
Speaker 1: down for the season and again maybe his career, it
Speaker 1: seems that Elijah McGuire, a player that the team likes
Speaker 1: a lot, is going to step into that role. UM
Speaker 1: so could have could could give you back some value,
Speaker 1: but there's definitely risk involved. Doctor. Normally we don't ask
Speaker 1: you a lot about players that are on by, but
Speaker 1: this is a different kind of situation because Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: is currently the RB three overall and fantasy. He's a
Speaker 1: consistent player, I mean scoring touchdowns at a rapid pace. H.
Speaker 1: He actually didn't suit up in that game in London
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans because he was dealing with a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. The one positive that we could take away
Speaker 1: from that is, unlike other situations which were handled different
Speaker 1: differently with Leonard Fournett and Dalvin Cook, the team opted
Speaker 1: to just give Melvin Gordon all the time that he
Speaker 1: needs to recover right away, not forcing him back into
Speaker 1: action and giving him the additional week with the bye week,
Speaker 1: and we expect him coming out of the bye to
Speaker 1: be healthy or is he kind of unfortunately now in
Speaker 1: the same boat as Fournet and Dalvin Cook. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: great decision by the team. You know, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: we would have done and advised the team to do.
Speaker 1: Week nine. Um, you know our data shows that, um,
Speaker 1: you know, he's healthy healthy to return is actually week nine.
Speaker 1: But here's the problem with Melvin Gordon. You are correct.
Speaker 1: We had him at low injury risk and peak health
Speaker 1: right before this injury and then boom, just a Grade
Speaker 1: one hamstring injury. Throws him into in in HPF and
Speaker 1: twenty two in injury risk because for the last two
Speaker 1: years ankle foot showed or knee injuries even though he's
Speaker 1: played all sixteen games. This is the point where you
Speaker 1: see Melvin Gordon's numbers start to decline. You know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of a slow, slow decline, and it's all related
Speaker 1: to just having these types of injuries, and so this
Speaker 1: is where it begins. Last year they did not have
Speaker 1: this attitude with him, and he kind of played through
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of injuries. This is a great decision
Speaker 1: and it will benefit fantasy owners because he'll get back
Speaker 1: to peak health, he'll be back to a lower injury risk,
Speaker 1: and he will he will have now longevity much more
Speaker 1: with better numbers because he'll be healthier basically. And so
Speaker 1: this is a great sign. You should keep owners of
Speaker 1: Melton Gordon should keep him. His numbers will improve and
Speaker 1: he should have a very good outlook for the next
Speaker 1: three to four to five games. As you said. As
Speaker 1: you said Frank yesterday, Anthony Lynn did the right thing
Speaker 1: by bending him on Sunday, giving him a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks off here and now when he comes back after
Speaker 1: the bye in week nine, he's gonna be ready to go.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be ready to go, and his numbers can
Speaker 1: improve according to Doctor A as the season goes on.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Dr A from inside Injuries, not another
Speaker 1: running back we do you want to ask you about.
Speaker 1: He's in Denver with Royce Freeman. Has been an oupen
Speaker 1: down year for the rookie Philip Lindsay picked later in
Speaker 1: the draft or drafted and well he's he's been better
Speaker 1: than Royce Freeman for Royce. What's the latest injury update
Speaker 1: on him? Grade one ankle sprain. It's a high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect you know, and when funny when we
Speaker 1: talk basketball, it's like the kiss of death the high
Speaker 1: ankle sprain for basketball players, but for running backs it's
Speaker 1: not as bad. Um and it's a grade one injury.
Speaker 1: So his injury was in week seven. We have a
Speaker 1: two week HTR, so week nine, okay, that's when he
Speaker 1: should come back. And that's what the numbers show. He
Speaker 1: only moved up too, and so he only needs to
Speaker 1: get down to below twelve percent to get back into
Speaker 1: UH to low injury risk. And even though he's only
Speaker 1: at fifty right now. I mean he's in the middle
Speaker 1: of his injury. If he does wait till week nine,
Speaker 1: he'll be back up to peak health and me back
Speaker 1: down to low injury risk. So it's very important that
Speaker 1: he does not play Week eight. And if Royce Freeman
Speaker 1: does not play week that leaves a wide open back
Speaker 1: field for Philip Lindsay hanging up against the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: who have bled fantasy points to running backs season, specifically
Speaker 1: past catching running back. So I currently have Philip Lindsay
Speaker 1: ranked inside of my top twelve this week. That's assuming
Speaker 1: that Royce Freeman is going to miss time. Doctor, I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about THEO Riddick, who missed last
Speaker 1: week with a knee injury, has not practiced yet this
Speaker 1: week because of said knee injury, and it's not really
Speaker 1: for his value overall, because him being out actually opens
Speaker 1: up more opportunity for rookie carry On Johnson. We just
Speaker 1: saw a run for a hundred and fifty eight yards
Speaker 1: this past week, so we expect THEO ritic to play
Speaker 1: in week eight, because if not, we're looking at carry
Speaker 1: On Johnson as a high end r B two once again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson, even though I'm I really dislike Auburn.
Speaker 1: He's the guy basically, Um he's uh you know, um
Speaker 1: he was low injury risk and Pete Califuman perfect numbers
Speaker 1: like he you know, it's all lining up for him theoretic. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's very spray. I mean, we haven't related.
Speaker 1: We tried everything to try to get really specifically, we
Speaker 1: think we have nailed at the severity of this knee injury.
Speaker 1: It's great too. He sustained it week five. That causes
Speaker 1: that's a four week optimal recovery time. So his HTR
Speaker 1: is week nine. So obviously this week is no go.
Speaker 1: Next week you gotta look at him. But you know,
Speaker 1: with his previous injury risk and all of his player
Speaker 1: nucleus and all the information we have, it bumped him
Speaker 1: up to twenty eight percent injury risk. And he's attent
Speaker 1: right now. Even if he plays next week for recovery
Speaker 1: from this particular injury, I don't see him getting back
Speaker 1: into peak health this year. And so that's really it's
Speaker 1: for Carrie on Johnson owners. That's a very very good sign.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lot of carries. He's gonna try
Speaker 1: to rack up a lot of fantasy points. Theoretic is
Speaker 1: kind of a guy that's not going to get to
Speaker 1: peak health the rest of this year. Right, this might
Speaker 1: be more of a talking point for next week, because
Speaker 1: I still do think carry On Johnson could have a
Speaker 1: fine week this week against the Seahawks with Theoretic out
Speaker 1: his upcoming schedule. Carry On Johnson that is is very tough.
Speaker 1: So if he has another game without theo Ritic in
Speaker 1: the lineup, and then Theoretic is expected to return after
Speaker 1: this although an injury risk, it might be time to
Speaker 1: sell carry On Johnson with the upcoming schedule. But let's
Speaker 1: talk about that next week, qick. Yes we will. Indeed
Speaker 1: Theoretic once again banged up in a major way. Now, Doc,
Speaker 1: I haven't been selfish one yet, and I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: to that right now. Cooper Cup seems doubtful for this
Speaker 1: week with that spring m c L. He already missed
Speaker 1: last week. He's doubtful this week, so it seems like
Speaker 1: he's not going to play. What's the latest of Cooper Cup? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean great to m c L. You cannot mess
Speaker 1: with that. You gotta let it heal completely. And it's
Speaker 1: just good. I mean, at least you know he should.
Speaker 1: I mean they're saying doubtful for a weekend. It should
Speaker 1: be no way week basically, you know, um, but week
Speaker 1: nine no way as well. Week ten is what we're
Speaker 1: looking at. I mean, this is a guy that's had
Speaker 1: this one injury. He just needs to completely heal it.
Speaker 1: This thing tends to recur if you don't completely heal.
Speaker 1: He's at injury risk and fifty h PF. So if
Speaker 1: he if he wait till week ten, these numbers will
Speaker 1: go back into low injury risk and peak health. If
Speaker 1: he doesn't, he will play in that game with elevated
Speaker 1: injury risk and likely below average or above average HPF,
Speaker 1: So he will not be at peak health if he
Speaker 1: comes back before week ten. I actually expect Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: to make the right decision. I don't expect um Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup to play this week obviously. I expect him to
Speaker 1: take time and let him heal up hopefully because you know,
Speaker 1: like Dry mentioned, we want him to be at peak
Speaker 1: health when he does return for that stretch run. For
Speaker 1: fantasy football owners talk. Another running back that I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about is Peyton Barber, and it's not
Speaker 1: so much for his value. It's for the value of
Speaker 1: another rookie running back, and that's Ronald Jones. We just
Speaker 1: saw Ronald Jones score his first career touchdown last week.
Speaker 1: Has a great match up ahead of him this week,
Speaker 1: ring up against the Cincinnati Bengals. But a lot of
Speaker 1: that is contingent on Peyton Barber being out. So Barber,
Speaker 1: who's dealing with the ankle injury. They say he's quote
Speaker 1: fifty fifty to play this week. What do you guys
Speaker 1: have on Peyton Barber. We we don't expect him to
Speaker 1: play this week. Actually shouldn't play this week. He should
Speaker 1: be week nine. And uh, it's a two week recovery
Speaker 1: for a Grade one ankle for a running back. As
Speaker 1: you guys remember, I mean the ankle is such in
Speaker 1: a huge important pot body part for running back the
Speaker 1: lateral side to side movement, which is what they do.
Speaker 1: And so two weeks htr is week nine and he'll
Speaker 1: be back into peak health if he plays in week eight.
Speaker 1: If he plays this week, this is a no go.
Speaker 1: This is this is something that definitely should be a
Speaker 1: no brainer that he takes this week off. The question
Speaker 1: is if he takes this week off, rank does he
Speaker 1: ever get his job back to Ronald Jones, especially with
Speaker 1: the good matchup. It could be one of those where
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones just goes off and then you know, we
Speaker 1: don't see Monchs of Peyton Barber anymore. Again. Yeah again
Speaker 1: Selvisually speaking, Doc, I've been waiting all season long for
Speaker 1: Deant Foreman. We know the Achilles injury is very, very
Speaker 1: tough to come by. He's certainly not playing tonight. But
Speaker 1: is there a chance when the Texans return from their
Speaker 1: Mini by the Foreman's back in the lineup. You know, Greg,
Speaker 1: this is very interesting to us because you know guys
Speaker 1: that come back from Achilles tears, you know, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a tough injury to come back. When they do come
Speaker 1: back and they fully heal, they actually their numbers improved greatly.
Speaker 1: Dante Foreman's numbers even though he it's been he got
Speaker 1: injured week eleven, two thousand seventeen, and his optim recovery
Speaker 1: time is thirty weeks is way past optim recovery time.
Speaker 1: His injury risk is still at twenty nine. So our
Speaker 1: algorithms are saying it does not matter if he comes
Speaker 1: back with it that they based on all the information
Speaker 1: that we have for him. He is a high injury risk,
Speaker 1: below average player this year, and he should not even
Speaker 1: touch him. That's what our injuries I mean, that is
Speaker 1: exactly what it's saying. So dr from inside injuries. We
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. As always, the FFS come back right

Speaker 1: What are you looking at? I don't know what's what's
Speaker 1: what's the best? I was number one the night. The
Speaker 1: number one value right now at forty two PM is
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond going up against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dude, we
Speaker 1: thought the Cleveland Caves were gonna be Ron James bad,
Speaker 1: like they got blown out by the Brooklyn Netsis. And
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that game was in Cleveland too. That
Speaker 1: was part of the reason why Kevin Love didn't actually
Speaker 1: meet his value yesterday, because they were losing by like
Speaker 1: twenty five points after the third quarter. They're probably thinking, Hey,
Speaker 1: we gotta back to back. Why are we gonna Why
Speaker 1: are we gonna play Kevin Love in the fourth? Drummond
Speaker 1: to own him tonight. I would expect that to be true.
Speaker 1: And John is probably gonna be my lap tonight. Kevin Love.
Speaker 1: This appointing overall, that's appointing now I cash cash pretty easily.
Speaker 1: Last night. I felt good. I was in the money.
Speaker 1: It was in the money all night, so it felt good.
Speaker 1: My buddy, I gotta tell you this. I was was
Speaker 1: waiting to do this read it, texted you this about
Speaker 1: what my friend who my friends started last night in
Speaker 1: his lineup, and I was like that I didn't have
Speaker 1: josh O Cooke. He did not have josh No, he
Speaker 1: did not have josh akoge. But some of the names
Speaker 1: he did have were something else. Man, dude, he almost
Speaker 1: won a lot of money. Really yeah, so at one
Speaker 1: point last night, but it was like eleven eleven thirty
Speaker 1: last night, he was up seven dred bucks and one
Speaker 1: of these things. And then Steph Curry happened in the
Speaker 1: third quarter and that was down of that. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: so his lineup was Trey Young, Cameron Payne, Gary Harris
Speaker 1: Dotson on the Knicks, who New Dots, joannest and Lebron Surgeon,
Speaker 1: Baga Demontes Sabonis, Jared Allen. That's not a bad lineup.
Speaker 1: Sa Bonus is a perfect tournament lineup guy because he
Speaker 1: has like when he gets hot, he catches fire. He
Speaker 1: really needs like twenty minutes and the guy could have
Speaker 1: like a fifteen and ten to old double. So it's
Speaker 1: two I think it was three nights ago. I used
Speaker 1: him the cash game, gave me like ten fantasy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's very boomer bust, but at his value, you
Speaker 1: he's a guy that could hit the tournament. So especially
Speaker 1: for cheaper value too. Damian Dotson, call man, that's the
Speaker 1: crazy one right there. I couldnt believe he started. Damian Dotson,
Speaker 1: We're not for like forty fantasy point. That was the one. Okay,
Speaker 1: Damian Dotson was amazing, spous was amazing. Jared Allen was
Speaker 1: a lot of the names that I wasn't really in
Speaker 1: on yesterday, like the I At certain points I had
Speaker 1: the honest lebron combo Um. I didn't wind up going
Speaker 1: that direction, but I was pulped from my buddy. He
Speaker 1: you know, he had two entries, was running literally up
Speaker 1: staring at it. He did the four four dollar or
Speaker 1: forty four cents to try to win a hundred Graham
Speaker 1: at the time he sent this to me at eleven
Speaker 1: eight teen yesterday. Last night, he was in fifty seven
Speaker 1: out of one hundred and eleven thousand people. You can't
Speaker 1: get you can't get happy that early though, because there's
Speaker 1: there's always at least a few time thirty games. So
Speaker 1: here's the thing. This is halftime the leaguer games, and
Speaker 1: he's still Lebron and the Warriors are also close to halftime.
Speaker 1: The problem was leaguers up twenty and Lebron barely played
Speaker 1: in the second half. That was what killed him, and
Speaker 1: he and he was excited. Career didn't even have to
Speaker 1: play the fourth quarter, correct, so he was excited and
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's what happened. And the other one where he
Speaker 1: put in three dollars in a pool of four thousand,
Speaker 1: seven thirty two to win two thousand dollars. At the time,
Speaker 1: he's in fourth place overall after this text message was
Speaker 1: actually in first place at one point. How much did
Speaker 1: he actually end up winning? Like bucks? Really? Yeah, poor guy.
Speaker 1: I felt bad, but he said he's like all in
Speaker 1: now on didn't I didn't check until I woke up today. Really,
Speaker 1: I was very Wednesday nights are tough, man, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I do a lot of NFL research on Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: so I really did not watch a lot of basketball.
Speaker 1: I was I was all over basketball. I had the
Speaker 1: World Series on in the background too, the Red Sox
Speaker 1: are just taking I know, stop stop betting with your heart, freak.
Speaker 1: I was winning. I was on a fandom all night.
Speaker 1: I was like, like I said, in the money all night.
Speaker 1: So when I went to sleep, it was like a
Speaker 1: very confident I was gonna win. Even though I didn't
Speaker 1: have any warriors. I was like solidly in the money.
Speaker 1: It was a little scoring night for most of the
Speaker 1: night too. Yeah, but you know I've hit two nights
Speaker 1: in a row like well over three hundred points on
Speaker 1: fan duel, So tonight is gonna be the night that
Speaker 1: jump a tournament. I'm gonna put up like two forty.
Speaker 1: I think we just gonna consistently do my five dollar thing?
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, yeah, it's for fun, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: are we trying to become millionaires here? Gregor what? No? Right,
Speaker 1: I'm trying a cold dollars. You know it's fun, but
Speaker 1: you know it would be nice, you know, if we
Speaker 1: can if we hit one of those tornis. I mean
Speaker 1: not not first place, but hey, get a couple of
Speaker 1: hundred would be nice. But like buy myself some new
Speaker 1: beats with that. Dude, I didn't play fans with like
Speaker 1: two years or a hundred broke. There was a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars of my camp everybody I opened up fan dollars
Speaker 1: sitting there and I had no idea I even had
Speaker 1: that money. And then I honestly invested it. Like a
Speaker 1: year or two ago, should I started go fund me
Speaker 1: for to get Frank a new a new pair of
Speaker 1: Beats headphones? I mean, were they an editor with no headphones?
Speaker 1: Your were they? Is? Literally in two weeks White Cordonald,
Speaker 1: can I get to go fund me for? Asking he't headphones?
Speaker 1: I'm trying could buy them for you would buy Beats,
Speaker 1: but to buy your headphones? All right, we'll talk about it, okay,
Speaker 1: because the blue ones are killing. I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: obviously tell you to buy and the reimburse the company.
Speaker 1: But still yeah, sure, I'm not gonna overdo it either.
Speaker 1: It's needs something. You know, you would have found a
Speaker 1: pair of headphones on Amazon for thirty bucks. You buy those? Done?
Speaker 1: You buy him after the show? Love it? How's that?
Speaker 1: I appreciate you never even asked me. I didn't because
Speaker 1: I don't know us headphones thirty bucks? I approve it,
Speaker 1: all right? Cool quarterbacks, side ends anything, take some calls
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six seven nine. We're
Speaker 1: gonna line you up right now eight four or four
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine. We're getting in the
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller before dr as we wait for the calls.
Speaker 1: Let me stick with Houston. There's been a lot of heat.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll call it towards DeShawn Watson this week,
Speaker 1: given the rive injury, given some movies inconsistency. Where's the
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson ranked in your quarterback rankings this week? Frank?
Speaker 1: Is QB fifteen for me, and I have them four
Speaker 1: spots lower than the consensus. Who has to make QB eleven?
Speaker 1: How come? Um just more to the same. You know,
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks I've called it. I'm not
Speaker 1: really in on the Shawn Watson. That game against Buffalo,
Speaker 1: I had him ranked very lowly below the consensus. I
Speaker 1: don't know that there are a ton of points scores,
Speaker 1: and I think we barely get the over with the
Speaker 1: game total at forty four points. Could see some you know,
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller tonight for sure, but I think Shaun Watson
Speaker 1: is max. He's gonna give you to fifty and two.
Speaker 1: That's probably gonna be right around QB fifteen. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he can add rushing now,
Speaker 1: because if he takes off, he's putting himself at risk.
Speaker 1: The guy is dealing with a punctured lung. So I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much rushing production he's gonna give
Speaker 1: you here on out. That offensive line is gonna end
Speaker 1: up getting him killed. The Dolphins pass for us is
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. So yeah, I I have Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: right behind Russell Wilson, right behind Stafford. I haven't behind
Speaker 1: Ribiskie this week. Uh, if you have Andy Dalton, James Winston,
Speaker 1: I'd use all those guys over DeShawn Watson. I do
Speaker 1: think that he can do enough to make d Hop
Speaker 1: and will Fuller fantasy vible. We could still see a
Speaker 1: normal you know, e D and a touchdown at a
Speaker 1: D HOP. We could see a you know, seven to
Speaker 1: eight d R performance out of out of will Fuller,
Speaker 1: and that will pay off where I have them eight.
Speaker 1: But I just don't think Shaun Watson has has big
Speaker 1: upside while he's dealing with this injury. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if he lands on I R at some point.
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, the guy's dealing with a punctured
Speaker 1: long with you know, one of the top three worst
Speaker 1: three offensive lines in the NFL right now. I agree.
Speaker 1: It's like the Giants and then the Texans. He didn't
Speaker 1: get healthy. Man, he makes it out. Tonight's would you use?
Speaker 1: Would you use? Would you use Stafford, Russell Wilson or
Speaker 1: Cher Whisky over Deshaun Watson this week over de Shaun
Speaker 1: Watson facing the Jets, Stafford and Russell Wilson face each other.
Speaker 1: The game total at forty nine and a half. I
Speaker 1: would use them all over Deshaun Watson. I'm gonnaquickly ranked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would you use Baker over him? That's the one
Speaker 1: I have right behind him, and I thought about moving
Speaker 1: him ahead he faces Pitts. No, I probably Sun Watson. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they're close because Baker has been a he's
Speaker 1: been a bit of a letdown. Even last sweet against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I used him on FanDuel use him in DFS,
Speaker 1: talked him up a lot um. He was a little underwhelming.
Speaker 1: Remember I brought up that streak of Tampa Bay allowing
Speaker 1: three fifty passing yards and three touchdowns in three straight
Speaker 1: games going into that matchup. Against Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: put up like whatever it was two d fifty to
Speaker 1: sixty and like two touchdowns. That's fine, but it's just
Speaker 1: we were expecting a lot more. Steelers defense is certainly
Speaker 1: better than the than the Bucks. I do expect the
Speaker 1: Browns to be playing from behind, but yeah, i'd probably
Speaker 1: use the Shawn Watson over him. I think I think
Speaker 1: they're in a similar boat. Eight four or four four
Speaker 1: three six seven nine. Let's go to Terry at the
Speaker 1: Jersey Shore. Terry. Oh, hi, guys, um, I made a
Speaker 1: big mistake. Well, let me know, and I just need
Speaker 1: a plack. I dropped um Amari Cooper instead of Hooper
Speaker 1: for Mars Bryance, just for extra wide receiver. A good
Speaker 1: thing you didn't call up and tell Corey Parson this.
Speaker 1: It would have been starting about you know what. I'm
Speaker 1: happy I thought I picked up um. I thought I
Speaker 1: picked up the kicker instead because my eye. I woke
Speaker 1: up it like four oh five to check and I
Speaker 1: realized what I did last night. I was like, how
Speaker 1: do you drop? Even though all Marie Cooper is in
Speaker 1: on my bench? I needed him for like when everyone's
Speaker 1: I'm by next week and that's why I picked up
Speaker 1: um Marquavius Bryant to see how he did this week.
Speaker 1: But uh, just whatever, right, Like I agree to see
Speaker 1: you to see what kind of upside he has. But
Speaker 1: uh yeah, Basically the lesson here is do not not
Speaker 1: make waiver claims or free agent pickups when you're half
Speaker 1: asleep and droggy in the morning. I think that's the takeaway.
Speaker 1: You know, I would actually try and add am MARW
Speaker 1: Cooper back to your team if you still could. No,
Speaker 1: I did, I did, But listen, all right, So now
Speaker 1: if I'm but now more important about my run and Dick,
Speaker 1: it's um standard n your bonus. So I have Barkley
Speaker 1: and Chubb in those two spots unless you want to
Speaker 1: take out Chub, but think so. But for my flex
Speaker 1: is a Carson, Lamar Miller or Isaiah Crowow. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a questions about Chris Carson this week, Frank, this
Speaker 1: is a this is a good problem to have. Chris
Speaker 1: Carson is interesting because they're coming off the Bible. You
Speaker 1: can never know what Pete Carroll is gonna do. And
Speaker 1: normally this would be a good match against the Detroit Lions,
Speaker 1: but they just traded for snacks Harrison, who was one
Speaker 1: of the best run stuffers in the league. UM. I
Speaker 1: spoke up Lamar Miller early on the show. I mentioned
Speaker 1: I have him RB fourteen. I actually have him ranked
Speaker 1: higher than Chubb, but Chubb is not far behind him.
Speaker 1: So I would actually plug in who you have with
Speaker 1: Barkley and Chubb, and then I would use Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: at the flex. I know it's crazy, but it's it's
Speaker 1: a good match against Miami tonight in short week. You know,
Speaker 1: we we see more out of the running backs. He's
Speaker 1: coming off a game twenty two rushing attempts for a
Speaker 1: hundred yards and a touchdown. I'm using Lamar Miller against
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Greig mar Miller, Carson, I know what it is.
Speaker 1: You're just staring into my eyes with hating your eyes
Speaker 1: see fire. It does not like Lamar Miller. No, no,
Speaker 1: let me go to Julian and my ann what's up
Speaker 1: Julian's guys. Um all right, So there's two parts to this.
Speaker 1: The first one I got, oh, b J and Barkley
Speaker 1: and my team. By the looks of it, the Giants
Speaker 1: are starting to rebuild early and then with the inconsistency
Speaker 1: of Eli Manning. I am worried about that often should
Speaker 1: I be. Um. I understand why you're questioning the offense.
Speaker 1: I mean we could have we could have questioned it
Speaker 1: every week until this point in the season. But with
Speaker 1: them selling off players under defense, I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: be more games where they're trailing, and typically that's gonna
Speaker 1: lend itself to you know, while Eli Manning hasn't looked great,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to throw a ton and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be more targets for O. B J. And it's gonna
Speaker 1: be even more checkdowns for Sa Kwon Barkley. So I
Speaker 1: get what you're thinking. You're you're you're thinking is logical,
Speaker 1: and you know, I understand, but I still I just
Speaker 1: think that the way that this team is training, they're
Speaker 1: still gonna have to throw, and O b J and
Speaker 1: Barkley are talented enough where given the volume that they're
Speaker 1: gonna see, they'll be able to make the most of
Speaker 1: that opportunity for fantasy purposes. Greg, Yeah, I I I
Speaker 1: tend to agree with you. Frankie. Look O b J
Speaker 1: is coming off the game if you want to, if
Speaker 1: you could shop him for another you know, Top eight,
Speaker 1: Top ten, wide receivers. Go ahead, but I'm not just
Speaker 1: gonna trade him away for the sake of trading. I felt,
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I didn't want to be
Speaker 1: in that ship once it sinks. So I started to
Speaker 1: look for trades, and UM, I like Barkley more than
Speaker 1: Odell because Barkley you just got a hand on the
Speaker 1: ball and he goes to work. So I made this
Speaker 1: trade and it was it happened yesterday after the show ended.
Speaker 1: I couldn't call I traded away. Aaron Jones, Kenyan Drake,
Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham and t Y Hilts him four, A J. Green,
Speaker 1: Camara and Moser. Since I have agreed as well, massive
Speaker 1: trade Frank so was O B J. Drake? Before you
Speaker 1: answer the question, I want to sign off YouTube and
Speaker 1: get us get us ready to Fanashoball Frenzy comes your
Speaker 1: way next. Corey Parson, Jim Day and Chris Venture The
Speaker 1: Closer will have you cover You're losing up a podcast.
Speaker 1: We appreciate a subscribe, give us a five star raining
Speaker 1: and leave a comment if you're watching, if you are
Speaker 1: listening on the radio, we'll be here from the duration
Speaker 1: of the hour, So thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 1: It was O. B J. Drake and who else did
Speaker 1: you give up? Yeah? Probably gone. Going from from the
Speaker 1: sounds of it, I think I think it made sense,
Speaker 1: like that that's the type of wide receiver, though, that
Speaker 1: you're looking for in return for O. B J. Is
Speaker 1: a J. J. I don't remember who the other running
Speaker 1: backs were, but I think I think it made sense.
Speaker 1: Like even if you gave up depth, he gave up
Speaker 1: four players. I know there was four players to get three,
Speaker 1: but you get a J. Green, you get Alvin Kamara,
Speaker 1: who's by far the best running back in the deal.
Speaker 1: He didn't give up Barkley and the deal. Remember, he
Speaker 1: just gave up A J. Green. So Um, I like it.
Speaker 1: I like it, like that's what you're looking for. If
Speaker 1: you're worried about Odell Beckham and the Giants offense, you
Speaker 1: get a J. Green returned Like that's a top eight,
Speaker 1: top six wide receiver. Every single week. Let's take another call,
Speaker 1: A need four four, four, three, six, seven nine. It's
Speaker 1: Pete in Florida. What's up? Hey? What's up? Guys? Um?
Speaker 1: Do you like Dalton Wilson? This week? I refer you
Speaker 1: to the the Best Friends Forever Rankings? This week, Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, what are you thinking? Well, I'm gonna continue
Speaker 1: to pick on the Tampa Bay Bucks defense every single
Speaker 1: week for the reason I like Baker Mayfield last week.
Speaker 1: Tampa Andy Dalton going up against that Bucks defense this week.
Speaker 1: Very high game total for that one as well. Uh
Speaker 1: So Russell Wilson, I mean, remember the guy's not rushing
Speaker 1: a lot this year. He's been very touchdown dependent, not
Speaker 1: throwing for a lot of yards. They're just, I mean,
Speaker 1: that offense is very weird right now. Brian Schottenheimer, Pete Carroll,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm using Andy Dalton. It's not really close.
Speaker 1: For man, I have any Dalton's my seventh quarterback. I
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson at fourteen. And how about I need
Speaker 1: two of these running backs a Latavius Murray and carry
Speaker 1: on two of a p Latavius Murray carry on Johnson.
Speaker 1: What what format is this? Oh it's PPR. Well, PPR,
Speaker 1: so the one I'm gonna start. I'm going to start
Speaker 1: a P against the Giants. I think he has a
Speaker 1: really nice game this week. Chris Thomps has kind of
Speaker 1: banged up to the Jes haven't been great against the run.
Speaker 1: And they just trade awayte It's it's a it's AP
Speaker 1: and carry on. That's what it is. It's a p
Speaker 1: then carry and your saying it's AP and carry on.
Speaker 1: I agree. Agreeins have been really, really good against running back,
Speaker 1: so I totally agree with that. My only caveat was
Speaker 1: if theoretic plays, you still start carry on. That is
Speaker 1: a good question if if theoretic. If theore plays, I
Speaker 1: would use Latin Murray. But I don't think the rig
Speaker 1: is gonna play. I don't think Leo or theoretic I started.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Frank, I'll start AP and carry on.
Speaker 1: John said, all right, let's get let's get to the picks.
Speaker 1: Tonight Thursday Night football, the Dolphins travel to Houston there
Speaker 1: seven and a half point dogs at Reliance Stadium Tonight.
Speaker 1: The over under States and I'll believe at forty four
Speaker 1: and a half. What do you think, Frank, we're at
Speaker 1: flat right now for the game, and we've consistently seen
Speaker 1: on these Thursday night games. I mean, it's just not
Speaker 1: enough time to game plan for your opposing team to
Speaker 1: get the defense set up. So I think we see
Speaker 1: more points again. I'm gonna take the slight over here,
Speaker 1: so you knowing your Miami defense thing like they're good,
Speaker 1: not a thing anymore. Well, they're on the road now.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins defense is still all right. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: if they give up twenty one points like whatever, in
Speaker 1: this climate of the NFL, twenty one points isn't as
Speaker 1: bad right now. Um, I'm taking taking the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: to cover the spread. I think they're in play to
Speaker 1: win this game. October Baby, give it to me. I'll
Speaker 1: take Miami and the over as well. Everybody's on Miami.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get a blown out to the Frenzies up next,
Speaker 1: Frank Staville, I am good, Exausman, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for watching and listening to the Fantasy best Friends Forever.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope.
