1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another addition to the

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Line Podcast. Its being Your Man NAMG Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and the

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy viper Graham Barfield. Hey guys, this, uh, we talked

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: about it before we started recording. This was a weird,

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: weird fantasy week. I think in a lot of respects,

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: the NFL is weird in general, but this this week

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: in particular, was I don't know, rather frustrating I put it.

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Are you saying that the NFL is unpredictable, Marcus, Yes,

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: it's well. The No Figure League was back in effect

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: this week, and I'm sure a lot of folks are

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: scratching their heads. You know. Week one, we we we

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: kind of gauge things, we think we have a basic idea.

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Week two, I feel like it's the week we sort

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: of overcorrect. But I don't know, man, this a lot

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: of weird things happened this week. A lot of injuries

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: that could potentially be sort of lead tilting also happened

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: this week. So we'll talk about some of those, will

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: go through the things in Week two that we know,

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: the things we think we know and the things that

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: we have no idea about and are still trying to

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: figure out. Of course, because it is Monday, we'll also

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: do some waiver wire picks as well. Normally we go

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: behind the glass and talk to our faithful producer seenor

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: Edward L. Murphy esquire. But we are in a different

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: studio today because of scheduling issues and technical deals that

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: are above my pay grade. Uh, we got bumped from

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: our normal spots. So Murf's here. You know that he's

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: wearing a pretty sweet Rocky Johnson jersey. I think things

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: are not going to well for Big Blue, so he's

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: trying to take his mind off of that right now.

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Uh So, you know, I got a couple of cowboys

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: jersey is at home. I don't think he wants to

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: wear those. You're welcome to where. I don't think he's

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna wear one of the rest of the season. I

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: was actually surprised he hasn't broken out the Notre Dame

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: jersey yet. I feel like that's probably coming sometime soon,

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, who knows. You know, Marcus, you talked about

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: how like this was like a while the week. Did

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: you notice that for the second week in a row,

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the top Fantasy wide receivers are just

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: what DeMarcus Robinson Nelson are, John Ross again, Deebo Samuel

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: d J Chart Do Do Do Do DJ Chart. I

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: am stuck with that damn song in my head now

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season because Gardner Minshew has

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: a man crush on DJ Chart Do Do Do Do Do,

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be talking about him all season long.

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I could already tell im just telling you don't spend

49
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: an early round pick on a wide receiver. That's you know,

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: you can wait on a wide receiver. It's gonna be

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: my new mantra. I love Marcus Grants mantra. That's a

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: running backs truth or although the running backs though some

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: of them were not that good this weekend either, I mean,

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm mostly kidding because you know, Christian Julio

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: Jones went big on Sunday Night, so and you know,

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: but like in terms of the big name guys like

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Julio went big, Mike Thomas had like ten catches after that.

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but we have to also put Chris Godwin

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: in because he is gonna end up being and that

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up in that Elite category by the

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: end of the season. All right, So we have played

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: to talk about obviously, so with anytime, let's do some news.

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Well the big one, and it is still developing as

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: we sit here and record this podcast. On Monday morning yesterday,

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Drew Brees left the game against the Rams in Los

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Angeles after he basically inadvertently high fived Aaron Donald during

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: the middle of a play, injured his hand left headed wrapped.

68
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: We saw Teddy Bridgewater for pretty much the rest of

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: the game. I think Breeze tried to come in come

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: back in briefly. That didn't last long until they went

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: back to Bridgewater. Breeze stayed in l A after the

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: game to get checked out by a hand specialist, and

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: the preliminaries that he's going to miss some time. I

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: think the early indications that he will six weeks, which

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: also includes the team's by so right now, best case scenario,

76
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees isn't gonna be back probably until week ten. Ostensibly,

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater takes over as the starter there in New Orleans,

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and though we'll see how they work, if they work

79
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill back into the mix. Uh fabs, I know

80
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: coming into the season. It was pretty fashionable for a

81
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: lot of folks to sort of fade Drew Brees, and

82
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: the talk that uh, he was not going to be

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback was pretty rampant. We obviously didn't

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: see this coming, but I would imagine it's very hard

85
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: with quarterback being so deep, to try to hold a

86
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: roster spot for him for the next you know, month

87
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: and a half or so. Yeah, unless you're in a

88
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: league where you can put an injury guy on a

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: reserve spot, and on NFL dot Com, you can't do

90
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: that unless the player is actually on injured reserve designated

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: to return. So Drew Brees is gonna be dropped in

92
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, which is odd after the second

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: week of the NFL season. But Graham, I think you

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: agreed with me. I wasn't big on Drew Brees this season.

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I didn't think that he was gonna be an elite

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: any quarterback. Now we have Teddy Bridgewater in the mix,

97
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and let's look at their schedule coming up. Okay, they've

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: got the Seahawks on the road coming up. Okay, then

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: you've got the Cowboys in New Orleans. And the Cowboys

100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: are the real deal, folks, And that's just not me

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: being a homer. Buccaneers good schedule, they're a good match

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: up there, then Jags Bears, so both of those are

103
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: on the road, and then they Teddy Bridgewaters schedule is

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: not going to be, shall we say, very favorable. And

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: every player on that roster, maybe not Michael Thomas because

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get peppered with targets, but every

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: offensive player on that roster is now going to be

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more sketchy, even Alvin Camara, and we

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: saw that yesterday. This sucks for Camara too because Drew

110
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Brees and Camara have been one of the most efficient connections,

111
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: um in terms of like just their timing in the

112
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: in the short and intermediate areas. This is a it's

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: a tough day. It's a tough day for Camar and

114
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Thomas owners. I think, yeah, you know this obviously, this

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: is a thing that that is unforeseen. You can't predict

116
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: this sort of thing. But taking Drew Brees out of

117
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: this offense completely changes everything. Um look, I know it

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago we were hoping for

119
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: big things from Teddy Bridgewater. Then you had that awful

120
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: knee injury that took him out for you know, over

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: a year. Um, but I think it's it's a lot

122
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: to ask for Bridgewater to come back and suddenly be

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: that guy, and certainly to replace Drew Brees. I mean that,

124
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's just that those are huge shoes to fill.

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: So I think now it's a little bit sketchy about

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: what's going to happen there in New Orleans with the Saints.

127
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Other big quarterback news this out of Pittsburgh. Ben Roethlisberger

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: left the game with an elbow injury. Um. You know,

129
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: they're still looking at that right now. The team is

130
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: hoping that he can avoid surgery. The words Tommy John

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: we're throwing around. And certainly if you're never good, if

132
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: you're a baseball fan, you know that is bad news. Um.

133
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: The update from one of the many Twitter doc like

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: actual doctors on Twitter. I shouldn't say Twitter doctors. That

135
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: sounds there is a distinction though, Yeah, there is a distinction. Um.

136
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: One of the mini doctors on Twitter who you know,

137
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: offer sort of diagnoses from afar uh suggest that maybe

138
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: it's something that he can just kind of sit out,

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: let the injury scar over, and then come back and

140
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: play in a few weeks. But Graham, regardless, Ben Roethlisberger

141
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to miss a few weeks. Uh

142
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: so much like we're downgrading folks in New Orleans, I

143
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: have a feeling we're kind of knocking some folks down

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh as well. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see what

145
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the injury timeline looks like. But a big Ben word

146
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: of miss games. It's an obvious downgrade of this entire

147
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: off and sort of like the Drew Brees situation. Um,

148
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, I I think, um, no offense to Eddy

149
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Bridgewater might be in a slightly better situation. Um, I

150
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: think we've seen Rudolph acquit himself in the preseason and

151
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: the Stealer's offensive line is still fantastic. Um. But yeah,

152
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean if if if Big been Mrs time, this

153
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: is no good for Juju, I mean the teams that

154
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: took Juju um and and Michael Thomas or or Tyreek

155
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Hill at the one two turn, and we're looking great

156
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago. Lots of sad emojis.

157
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: So I might take a chance on though, because a

158
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of people may have dropped James Washington after Week one,

159
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: he's starting to play a little bit more too. And

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief can't catch a cold. And there is a

161
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: connection between Rudolph and James Washington. We saw it in

162
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: the preseason, in free season. I mean what going back

163
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: to to Oklaholoma State. Obviously, Washington just offers so much more,

164
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: not only just like as a pass catcher, but it's

165
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: just a route runners, a lid lifter in this offense. Man,

166
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: I would tell you I'm one of those people who

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: who did grab Juju in a lot of leagues, you know,

168
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: late first early second round, even before the Roethlisberger injury.

169
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: You know, I I I was starting to get concerned.

170
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: You know. Last week it was you could kind of

171
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: blow it off and saying, well, hey, it's the Patriots

172
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: or whatever. Uh this week, you thought maybe it would

173
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit better against the Seahawks, but really,

174
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: for what the first half, even into the third quarter,

175
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Juju really was nowhere to be found. It took kind

176
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: of a flee flicker to sort of get him going

177
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: a little. The good news with both the Saints and

178
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers, in my opinion, is that like they both

179
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: have number one clear entrenched number one receivers and then

180
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: they have a bunch of incillary guys, right so if anything,

181
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: we should expect Thomas and Juju to at least get

182
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: peppered with targets. But it's just you know, the efficiency

183
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: and how many of those are going to be near

184
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the you know, near the goal line and getting in

185
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: for scores like we would normally expect with their quarterbacks. Also,

186
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: James Connor dealing with an injury. Uh, And so I

187
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: mean it's kind of all bad right now Pittsburgh. I mean, yeah,

188
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: they're owing to uh, two of their their top stars

189
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: are injured right now. And you know, I think right

190
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: now that like it doesn't look like anything long term

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: is going to happen with James Connor. But man, it's

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: just it's kind of bad right now. It's it's amazing

193
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: how quickly things can change. I feel like I say

194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: that every week because you know, we were just a

195
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: couple of years removed from Roethlisberger, Brown and Bell the

196
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: big three maybe the biggest three in fantasy football on

197
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: one NFL franchise. Now Bell's gone, Brown's gone, and Big

198
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Ben might be gone because of this day injury at

199
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: least for a few games. We'll see what happens. I mean, so,

200
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: any interest in Jaylen Samuels, I mean he he's the

201
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: guy who moves up. If he's out there, then you

202
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: have to go out and grab him, just as a

203
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: speculative ad in case James Connor uh is forced. I'm sorry,

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: James Conners is expected to miss any time. So man,

205
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: but again, this is another one though, where you take

206
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: been out of this offense and maybe it changes some things.

207
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll say it hasn't particularly been great.

208
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: Uh down in Miami? Uh, dude, is there a football

209
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: team down there? Man? Is there? Would Clemson beat them?

210
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: The You? The you's not looking too good? Uh, I

211
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: mean they've been sort of up and down. And the Dolphins,

212
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: it's bad. Uh. They lose. Here's the thing. They lost

213
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: by fewer points in Week two than they lost by

214
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: in Week one. That's the upside outside the outside that

215
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: they didn't score any points in weeks They at least

216
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: scored points in Week one. The Patriots defense, which was

217
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: ranked number one on most fantasy lists. Nobody was thinking

218
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: what I was loving it. I had them in like

219
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: half my league's Yeah, but the early word out of

220
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: South Beach from head coach Brian Flores is that Ryan

221
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is still the starter. Now. He says they're going

222
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: to evaluate during the week. That could change, but as

223
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: we speak right now, he is still the starter. Um. Look,

224
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick through as many Patriots touchdown passes as Tom

225
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Brady did yesterday. Both had to Patriot touchdown passes. Um, look,

226
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: you're not starting Fitzpatrick. You're probably not starting Josh Rosen.

227
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: But I think in terms of of just kind of

228
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: speculating and looking forward, especially if you're talking dynasty, they

229
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: got to play Rosen now, right, I mean they got

230
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: to see what they have with Josh. What's the what's

231
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: the point of playing Ryan Fitzpatrick. But I mean in

232
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: the defense of the decision to start Ryan Fitzpatrick to

233
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: begin the year, right, like, especially without Laramie Tons. So

234
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: this is not an NFL offensive life for Rosen, dude,

235
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: because like it was last year, now this might be worse.

236
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: This is absolutely worse. I Mean, he's gone from what

237
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: we thought was the worst situation in the NFL was

238
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: last year, and the Cardinals coaching staff and they're talented

239
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: to Um. Yeah, significant downgrade again, there. I mean, there's

240
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: really I mean, even if Rosen Marcus let's say Mark,

241
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: let's say he does start Week three, right, anything that

242
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: he does and puts on tape, you've got a grade

243
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: on a curve. I mean, it's just it's just the

244
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: nature of this offense this year. So I'm not I

245
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: mean as a as a Josh Rosen fan coming out,

246
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely frustrating, you know. I look, man, it

247
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: takes a lot for me to stand for a U

248
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: c l A guy, But I like Josh Rosen and

249
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: I want to see him at least get a fair shot,

250
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: and through a season plus two games he hasn't got

251
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins got eleven first downs yesterday eleven, that's it, eleven.

252
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: They had eleven drives. So so this upcoming I can't

253
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: move the ball at all. Zeke is gonna rush for

254
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: about two fifty. Dack's gonna throw in the first half

255
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: gallop and Cooper, oh, go over a hundred. David Smith,

256
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: where the hell did that come from? My goodness, gracious.

257
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody on the Cowboys is going to be

258
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: startable in fantasy, and that that matchup, I think, aside

259
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: from the Dolphins just being god awful. What we can

260
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: take away on the Patriots side is that the presence

261
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown really gonna hurt Josh Gordon and Julian

262
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Edeman and I get it, they were blowing this team out,

263
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: but um A B when he was in there, I mean,

264
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: they targeted him all the time. And I don't even

265
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: know if A B will play another game for the

266
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: Patriots depending on what happens with this whole off the

267
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: field situation. But if you drafted Edelman to be you know,

268
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: a high too, you may not be getting high to

269
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: production from him. If abs on that roster the rest

270
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: of the season's that's pretty much gonna be in flux

271
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: for a while. That's gonna be so than to keep

272
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: an eye on. By the way, you mentioned Michael Gallup too,

273
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: Just a quick though. He is having an m R

274
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: I on his knee. He took a helmet on the knee. Uh.

275
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are hoping thinking it may not be serious,

276
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: but this is kind of a precaution. So really really

277
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: tough day for injuries yesterday. Yeah, lots lots of small,

278
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: little minor things and obviously the big ones with breeze

279
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: and big Ben. Uh yeah, take that, you know, take

280
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: it from somebody who started alshon Jeffrey in one league

281
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: into Sean Jackson and another and watching the Eagles. Everybody

282
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: got hurt. Everybody got hurt. Yeah. Uh, So we'll also

283
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye. We'll keep an eye on what the

284
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: what is up with these Eagles wide receivers. Apparently this

285
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: was something for both those guys that happened in the pregame.

286
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Uh and then they didn't really play and Dallas Goddard

287
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: got hurt hurt. I mean, look, Zach Ertz got hurt late,

288
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: but he stayed in there. I mean he took a

289
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: wicked shot to the ribs nearing the end of that game,

290
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: and and he stayed. Ina loves Zach Hurtz, but he

291
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: has he ever broken a tackle ever? Has Zach Kurtz

292
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: ever broken a tackle? If he breaks one tackle yesterday,

293
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: who knows what happens. I love him, man, but sure

294
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: with some of the best hands we've seen among a

295
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: tight end, but he does not break nearly enough tackles.

296
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Man um. Last bit of news, uh, just coming from

297
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: Jim Ersay. He said after the Colts game yesterday that

298
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Adam Minitary's miss kicks are becoming quote a concern. Vinitary,

299
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: for his part, sort of intimated that he could be

300
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: retiring sooner rather than later. Just a tweet from Beat

301
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: writer Stephen Holder suggested that we could hear as soon

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: as today that Adam Minitary is hanging them up. Like

303
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: I know, we don't. We don't spend a lot of

304
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: time talking about kickers, understandably. Um So, I guess my

305
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: only question about this is, when it comes to kickers,

306
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: do we put Adam Minitary in our fantasy ring of honor?

307
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: I would think so, right, absolutely, yeah, I mean sustained dominance,

308
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: and I mean obviously with two teams, yeah, with right,

309
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: multiple teams, but also just multiple great fantasy seasons. He's

310
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: definitely up there. I mean, I mean, I always think

311
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: it's funny that, you know, you hear the stories about

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: him having teammates who were like, oh, yeah, I were

313
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: watching you when I was a kid. You know, so

314
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: he's what'ty seven? I remember watching him as a kid. Actually,

315
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: he's I think the back he's yeah, thanks Graham, he

316
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: will be forty seven into some into December. Uh so

317
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: he's at the four. I interviewed him a long time

318
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: ago for the the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame

319
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: in Chicago, and um, just couldn't be a nicer dude,

320
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: had a had a had a tremendous career. If this

321
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: is in fact the end of the line, um, you

322
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, this is just you know, to

323
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: reinforce how long Adam Vinitary has been in the league.

324
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: He tackled herschel Walker in a game. Yeah, he chased

325
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: down herschel Walker on a kickoff and tackled him in

326
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: a game. I was gonna say it didn't tackle him.

327
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna correct you. He chased

328
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: him down. Yeah. Just go google Adam Mivinitary herschel Walker

329
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: and you see Vinitary chasing down I mean really, one

330
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: of the greatest athletes the NFL has ever seen. Uh

331
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: and making a tackle on a kickoffs. So maybe the

332
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: reason why the Cowboys had a dynasty going on. Yeah

333
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: herschel It's funny they ended up with a dynasty, but

334
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: not not the way people would have expected when they

335
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: first drafted herschel Walker. So uh So, if this is

336
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: indeed the de Vana Minitary, best wishes in the future.

337
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: We have enjoyed watching you kick field goals. Uh and uh, hey,

338
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: it's it's been great and that is pretty much everything

339
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you need to know. Alright, So week two pretty much

340
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: in the books. We have one more game the Jets

341
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: and the Browns, which seemed a lot more interesting before

342
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: the season started, and everyone, uh, you know, you're caught

343
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: mono or got injured or you know, just I'm telling you,

344
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: Week two has been cursed. Apparently apparently so, but most

345
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: everything else is done now. So now that we are

346
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and I broke this down into

347
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: three different categories, what we know, what we think we know,

348
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: and what we don't know at all we're still trying

349
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: to figure out. So first off, the things that we know,

350
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: this one is an easy when Patrick Mahomes is still

351
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy football god. I mean, we started the season

352
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: and and look just almost universally like right, like, he

353
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: can't throw fifty touchdowns again, right, Regression is coming. It's

354
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen, right, And then he goes out

355
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: and and lights it up in Week one against the

356
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars of all things. Then he comes back in week

357
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: two and somehow the Chiefs for the first time in

358
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, for a while now don't score in the

359
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: first quarter, but they scored five seconds into the fourth

360
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: to the second quarter, and Mahomes puts up four touchdowns

361
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: in the quarter. I gotta be honest, I was disappointed.

362
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I had three touchdown thost quarters from Patrick Mahomes. Well,

363
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: obviously he's no good oh boo hoo. Um. So I mean, look,

364
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean I know the here's the thing. Yes, I

365
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: know you can wait on a quarterback right, just pletty good.

366
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna get one early, get the best one,

367
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: right man. They get the Ravens next week. But um,

368
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: to start the year, he's thrown for over ten yards

369
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: per past attempt in both games, and his touchdown rate

370
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: is nine point one Last year, his NFL record touchdown

371
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: rate was eight point six percent. Yeah, we were all like, hey,

372
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: can't do that. Oh my god. Man. What I do like,

373
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: is this upcoming matchup, you're getting last year's best value

374
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: at quarterback against this year's best value at quarterback. I

375
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: tweeted that out yesterday that Lamar Jackson is this year's

376
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in terms of where you got him in

377
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: the production that you're getting from him now. People fought

378
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: back and said well, wait a minute, he played two

379
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: crappy defenses. You can only play who's who's lined up

380
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: against your dude, And that was the point of buying

381
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: all these Ravens. That is what I've been saying. Their

382
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: schedule like it was awesome. This was a great setup

383
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: to start the year. This could all this was in

384
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: the range of outcomes for Lamar to get hot really

385
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: really quick, and it happened. Yeah. Uh, you know it's

386
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: funny too because like this past week, we got the

387
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Lamar versus Kyler matchup, which was okay, now we get

388
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: the Lamar versus Mahomes matchup, so at least, you know,

389
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: and a viewer, it's fun. I will say this, Kyler

390
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: in a fantasy in terms of fantasy was not all

391
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: that great. He had fewer than seventeen points and that's

392
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: not gonna didn't have any touchdowns, but he had like

393
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: that is big and when you when you watch the game,

394
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I would like to see him run a little bit more.

395
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: But it's it's there, dude, it's there. This guy is

396
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: going to be a top ten quarterback when all of

397
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: said and done this season. Yeah, I mean I still

398
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: want them to fix their offensive line. Yeah, that's gonna

399
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: be the problem all year. Marcus Gilbert too, they traded

400
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: for him. He was previously a stud tackle for the Steelers,

401
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: and he's out for the season with an a c

402
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: L injury. I mean, their offensive line is gonna be

403
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: a bad, bad deal all year. We had a lot

404
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: of that. Atlanta was down to a lineman at one

405
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: point last night. UM, and then uh, McCarry McCreary came

406
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: back in. UM. Luckily for them. I thought he was

407
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: gonna be I thought he was done the way he

408
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: the way he left real quickly. Know about Mahomes, right,

409
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: So two weeks in a row. First week, Uh, Sammy

410
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Watkins has the big blow up game for him. Week two,

411
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: it's the Marcus Robinson that has the big blow up game.

412
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: And then Sammy, you know, kind of did what Sammy

413
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: Watkins does. Occasionally, we just sort of fade back into

414
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: the background. Um. Have we settled on who the the receiver,

415
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the non Travis Kelsey pass catcher is going to be

416
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: in this offense? And I still think it's Watkins. He

417
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: saw third team targets yesterday, Uh didn't. I haven't rewatched

418
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: all of them to see what happened. I know if

419
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: they were like uncatchable or what this game situation was.

420
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean full time usage, thirteen targets just

421
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: kind of an unlucky you know, you know who it's

422
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna be Graham, whoever is open? Yeah, that's whoever is open, dude,

423
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: I mean Hardman. Hardman could have had two touchdowns in

424
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: that game. One was called back robe. He had a

425
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: seven yard touch ballistic, Robinson went ballistic. It doesn't matter,

426
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Like you know, Watkins is clearly still

427
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: the guy that you want in fantasy. But it's whoever

428
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: the hell is open, because homes is gonna find them. Yeah. Uh.

429
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: You know the Ray has had a curious strategy of

430
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: of not covering people yesterday, Um, that didn't work out

431
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: well for them. That DeMarcus that one of the two

432
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robins testdowns, I think it was the longer as

433
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: the forty yard scores. So they motioned McCoy out right,

434
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: it's like kind of a mortar screen and they just

435
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: kind of forgot to cover around DeMarcus Robinson there in

436
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: the slot that the corner went with McCoy and that

437
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: was in whoopsie, whoopsie. Uh. Other thing that we know

438
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: after a couple of weeks, Austin Ekeler is a legit

439
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: RB one right now. I mean he has fully slid

440
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: in into the role that has been abandoned by Melvin Gordon.

441
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean he got to think like seventy of the

442
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: Snaps yesterday, he's getting plenty of opportunity. They are moving

443
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: him out to you know, lining him about why. I mean,

444
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: part of that might have to do with some injuries

445
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and a lack of BEPI wide receiver, but they're moving

446
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: him all around. We knew FABS that he had standalone

447
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: value even with Melvin Gordon, but right now, after two weeks,

448
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: he might be the biggest draft value in fans man.

449
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, highest scoring running back in fantasy football right now.

450
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: He's tied for fourth among running backs and touches with

451
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: forty one. As you mentioned the office of Snaps, he

452
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: is on the field, he is their guy, and Justin

453
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: Jackson he actually looked pretty darn good. But he's not

454
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: getting any opportunities, uh, not nearly enough to actually have

455
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: standalone value at this point. So this is Austin Ekeler's

456
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: backfield and things that have kind of worked out well

457
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: for him. Right, because you know you lose a Hunter Henry,

458
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: he's going to see more opportunities as a pass catcher.

459
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: We all know that he is a tremendous pass catcher.

460
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: We all had new going into the season that he

461
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: was a playmaker. He was a guy who can give

462
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: you those yards after catch, and he is showing it,

463
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: uh right now. And if we were drafting today, Austin

464
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: Ekeler would be a first round right back to back

465
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: games with Hunter Darves, some scrimmage. They get the Texans

466
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: uh in Week three? But then guess what, guys the

467
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins Week four? Yeah, maybe Melvin Gordon should come back

468
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: for that. Any anyone that took Austin Nickeler in like

469
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: the six, seven, eighth round of their drafts, they're most

470
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: likely going to be four now. You love life right now,

471
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: you're you're most likely gonna be four now to stamp

472
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: the life I start your started season. Congrats, congratulations man

473
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: um other thing that I feel like we certainly know

474
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: after a couple of weeks Mark Andrew's weekly starter at

475
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: tight end, Graham give me high five. So we were

476
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: excited about market, but man, two games over a hundred yards,

477
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: what a touchdown? In each of the first two games. Uh,

478
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: even for those of us with high expectations, I feel

479
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: like this has sort of exceeded those expectations. Yeah, man,

480
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: that's funny. I have him in a couple of leagues,

481
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: and I have Arts in one league. So now I'm

482
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: like trying to flip Andrews for something big because if

483
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: you have Andrews was not drafted to be a tight

484
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: end one in a lot of leagues. People drafted him

485
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: as like a high too, uh, drafted him late for upside.

486
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: But if you like, if you have Art's and Andrews,

487
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: or if you have Kittle and Andrew's, for example, I

488
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: would put both of them on the trade block and

489
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: see which of the best offers comes your way. Because

490
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: Andrews is the real deal man. And we we talked

491
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: about a Graham in the preseason, how Lamar Jackson loves

492
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: to throw to his tight ends. Andrew was his guy

493
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: at the end of last season, and now we're we're

494
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're sort of seeing the fruits of our

495
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: of our labor, because he has been just better than advertised.

496
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: So it's that trend has persisted last year. Lamar Jackson's

497
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: like eight starts he targeted his tight ends and the

498
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: highest right in the NFL, and that has persisted to

499
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: start this season. No quarterback has targeted their tight ends

500
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: at a higher rate than Lamar Jackson. And now the

501
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews against the Chiefs coming up next week. The

502
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs just gave up nine catches for nearly a hundred

503
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: yards to both Darren Waller and Derrek Carrier. Just another

504
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: fantastic right. Right now, Andrews is tied for fourth in

505
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: targets with Travis Kelsey. It's good company. Yeah, Mark Andrews

506
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: isn't a full time player, but when he's out there,

507
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: when he's out there, he's getting it done. He's he

508
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: is just only involved in the past game. It's like

509
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: a like a beer commercial. I don't always play, but

510
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: when I do, I'm bawling. Okay, So moment on the

511
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: things that we think we know but we're not totally

512
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: sure about. The first one is the Bingles passing game

513
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: is good, Zach and damn. Two weeks Andy Dolton goes,

514
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: he goes four eighteen and two touchdowns in week one.

515
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: He goes three eleven and two touchdowns in week two. Um,

516
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: now week three, they're on the road at Buffalo, which

517
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: should be a I was gonna say, well, let's let's see,

518
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes until we see them in Week

519
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: three on the road against a tough defense. UM. I

520
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of actually have a lot of respect

521
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: for the forty niners revamped front seven. I actually think

522
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: their front seven is very talented. But the Seahawks secondary

523
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: and the four nin secondary or just not even close

524
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: to what the Bills can offer, both talent wise and

525
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: with their schemes. So I'm excited to see what the

526
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: Bengals can do. Just a quick little note on here. Um. So,

527
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals have two of the top ten most targeted

528
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the National Football League, and one of

529
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: them is that Aja Green. When aj Green comes back,

530
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: I wonder would you try and buy low on a

531
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: j now? Because we don't know when he's coming back.

532
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: But when he does come back, I mean, is this

533
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: what we're getting? What would you try buy low on him?

534
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Right now? Two things, the Bengals have started fast, and

535
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: maybe this is their third straight year this they've started

536
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: pretty quick. We still don't know when Ajia Green is

537
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna return. UM. I am always trying I'm trying to

538
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: be hesitant more hesitant and buying low and players that

539
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: are like but we're buying basically a perceived injury discount. Um.

540
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's obviously been a great start for Zach Taylor.

541
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: Big news just just released. The Steelers just released a

542
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: statement saying Ben Roethlisberger will need surgery on his elbow.

543
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: He is on injured reserve, and he has done for

544
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: the year. So, uh, all that we just talked about,

545
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Mason Rudolph takes over now is the starter. Um.

546
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: You know, look, maybe you you bump James Washington up

547
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. Hopefully Juju is able to sort of

548
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: keep his targets presumably. Uh, you know, we're still waiting

549
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: to see what the prognosis is for James Conner and

550
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: what that means for the backfield. But huge news out

551
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh and that not only changes the fortunes for

552
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: the Steelers, but obviously for plenty of fantasy teams as well.

553
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: With Ben Roethlisberger being where at this point, where if

554
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: we were drafting today, where does Juju Smith Schuster get

555
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: picked without Ben Roethlisberger late on the third round, third

556
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: or fourth round a guy who was a second round pick.

557
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this this one hurts, man, this one really hurts.

558
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's good for Vance McDonald possibly, but this

559
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: is this is bad for everyone in that offense. You know,

560
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: I get it, Mason, Mason, Rudolph has got some upside.

561
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: He looked pretty good yesterday. But he's not Ben Roethlisberger.

562
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: He just not. And um James Washington maybe again we

563
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier a speculative ad if he was dropped, because

564
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: he's got that rapport uh with Rudolph. But this is

565
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: bad news. And I mean, we still don't know what

566
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Connor's status is. We'll find we'll find it later on Monday. Today.

567
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: You could be looking at Rudolph, Samuel's and then Juju

568
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: as the top three weapons in that Pittsburgh offense their

569
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: next three games, or the Niners Bangles and then the Ravens.

570
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Um kind of a kind of a mixed bag of

571
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: a stretch there, but yeah, still yeah, yeah, so there

572
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: we go. So it's gonna leave a lot of people

573
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: kind of scrambling and trying to figure out what the

574
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: next move is. If you were relying certainly, if you

575
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: were relying on Ben Roethlisberger. But even if he were

576
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: lying on some of the supporting pieces there in Pittsburgh. Uh,

577
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: back to the program here, what other things that we

578
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: think we know after a couple of weeks and Graham,

579
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: you sort of talked about this, You and I talked

580
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: about this yesterday during the day. Larry FitzGeralds like he

581
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: was severely undervalued in you know, I this this was

582
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: a mistake on my part. I mean, he was at eighth, ninth,

583
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: tenth round pick all summer and we knew the Cardinals

584
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: were going to one throw a ton and always being

585
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: four wide receiver sets, and that means Larry Fitzgerald was

586
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna probably be a big part of this passing offense.

587
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, he just kind of slipped through

588
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: the cracks there and that that eight through tenth round

589
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: uh tenth round range. And now he's looking like another

590
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: another year where Arry fitz is just a stud you know,

591
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: receiver three and PPR and you kind of plug and

592
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: play him every week and he's a great not only

593
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: a great depth at not only is it your good

594
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: depth receiver to have on your on your roster, but

595
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: he's a weekly flex play. And by the way, I

596
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: had mentioned that Zach Taylor has two wide receivers ranked

597
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: in the top ten in targets at the position. They're

598
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: both in the top ten as well. Yeah, Kingsbury's uh

599
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: he he is what what we thought he was, and

600
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor is proving to be uh sort of the same. Man.

601
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: I just I'm waiting for the week that the Cardinals

602
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: put it together for four quarters, right, because so far

603
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks the first half, isn't that

604
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: been right in the fourth quarter they turned it on.

605
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: I tweeted yesterday that you know, Cardinals offense in the

606
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter is like you know, last two minutes of

607
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: an NBA game, Like they just turn it on and

608
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: just it goes sort of next level. There. The other

609
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: thing that we think we know, Derrick Henra is an

610
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: RB one. Ah, he's you know, he's had two really

611
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: good games that I know. I know that, you know,

612
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: the knock on him that he tends to score in

613
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: bunch of is. But man, he's looked a little bit

614
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: more consistent the first couple of weeks of the season. Uh,

615
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: they're sort of throwing the ball to him. I mean,

616
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: he's not like you know, they're sort of throwing them.

617
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: You're not going to confuse him with you know, Alvin

618
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: Kamara or se Kwan Barkley or anything like that. But

619
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: it seems like they're trying to work him into the

620
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: passing game this year, which is which is a positive. Selling. Yeah,

621
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: five targets through two games. Last year only I saw

622
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: eight team targets. And across the whole season, the Titans

623
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: have been in two good game scripts for Derrick Henry,

624
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: though they obviously were competing against the Browns and won

625
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: that game. Then the game this Colts game was closed

626
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: all the way throughout, so they've been able to stick

627
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: to their game plan and keep hammer, you know, Hender

628
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: the ball um. But I mean, it's obvious that Dean

629
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: Lewis's role as a rusher in this offense is completely over.

630
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: It's got six car Yeah, it's it's over. Yeah, It's

631
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all Derrick Henry on on first and

632
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: second down and all Derrick Henry in the red zone

633
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Henry and Lewis have

634
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: the same amount of targets so far this season. Nice,

635
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the thing, because like I just already

636
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: sort of looked at the Lewis's five past catching back. Um,

637
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: but now if if Henry is starting to take some

638
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: of that role, Lewis is a handcuff and and if

639
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: now he's waiver wirefighter, Yeah, so that that's gonna be

640
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: one worth watching. So now we move on to the

641
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: things that we don't know, and we're still trying to

642
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: figure out two weeks into the season. The first one

643
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: is easily the biggest one, at least as far as

644
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Is Cam Newton fixable? The first two weeks

645
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: have looked just miserable, right, And we we try I

646
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: know we tried to kind of talk talk our way

647
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: around week one, thinking all right, well, let's let's just

648
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: wait and see maybe things Week two still bad. And

649
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: the thing to me fabs that that really is shocking.

650
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: It's it's not so much the lack of designed runs,

651
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: it's the lack of improvised runs too. When things break down.

652
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: We're used to seeing Cam get out of the pocket

653
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: and make plays and kind of extend. He is standing.

654
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: He is a statue in the plot, and that to

655
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: me is concerning. He doesn't run anymore. He he doesn't

656
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: number one, he has no touchdowns in his last four

657
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: games dating back to last season none zero, Okay, and

658
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: he's never been the most accurate dude in the world.

659
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: But if you watch the game last week, there were

660
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: some throws, man. I mean, Curtis Samuel could have had

661
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: a huge game if if Cam didn't overthrew him. Greg

662
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: Olsen could have had a bigger game if Cam didn't

663
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: overthrow him. Cam Newton is sort of a shell of

664
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: what he has been as a fantasy quarterback. And if

665
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't run with a football, he's useless to us.

666
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, to be quite honest with you, you you look

667
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: back at his success in his career. If you take

668
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: away the rushing totals, okay, and you put what he's

669
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: been averaging in his last four games, he's not a

670
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: QB one at all. I mean, he's not a QB

671
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: one And it's tempting when we talked about it before

672
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: the podcast. You got the Cardinals coming up this week, right,

673
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean their defense is garbage. But I don't know

674
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: if I can trust Cam Newton. I will be completely

675
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: out on Cam Newton this season if he does not

676
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: have a good game. I'm not looking for a blow

677
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: up game, but a good game against the Cardinals. The

678
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing faster than anybody else in the NFL,

679
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: which means they're opposing teams are going to get more

680
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: play volume and their their secondary sucks. Um But yeah, man,

681
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head though, Marcus. It's

682
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: the problems is not only the design plays like he's

683
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: not running you know, the fourth and one sneaks near

684
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: the goal line anymore, but fifty over fifty dropbacks last

685
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: last week against the Bucks and basically no scrambling. I

686
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: mean he's not even looking to scramb And think about

687
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: it too, that's not Cam Newton's game, man, That little

688
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: ham Newton is dropping back fifty times to throw and

689
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: not scrambling. Bro That that little gadget play that they

690
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: that they ran at the end with McCaffrey trying to

691
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: trying to get that first down and or touchdown one

692
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: of the worst play calls of the season. If Cam

693
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: Newton is right, okay, that is Cam Newton jumping over

694
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: the damn offensive line and scoring a touchdown. Okay, And

695
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: it's there's now I wonder because North Turner is d

696
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: o C. Last year Cam was banged up, only had

697
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: a hundred one rush rushing attempts uh in fourteen games.

698
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, Norv's never had a dude who's who's this versatile,

699
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: who can run with the football. You know, if you

700
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: look at it his career, you know he's looking at

701
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: like the Troy Aikman's and you know Phil Rivers, you

702
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: know the guys who were sort of like immobile. But

703
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: I mean Cam, If Cam's not a runner, Cam's not

704
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: a valuable fantasy asset. I mean right now. So I

705
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: I ran the l A Marathon once upon a time,

706
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: and like I didn't know what I was doing when

707
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: I trained, I just was like, I'm gonna just get

708
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: up and run, like with no real like plan. I

709
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: was so super sore afterwards, obviously because I didn't do

710
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: it right. There was there was a period of six

711
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: months where I wouldn't run across the street of traffic

712
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: was coming. That's sort of what Cam looks like in

713
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: the pocket right now, right there, like bodies flying at

714
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: him and he is standing there like a statue. I

715
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: was going to ask you, how bad did your legs hurt?

716
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: The worst it was. I've done it a couple of

717
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: times since then. When I actually trained properly and everything

718
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: was a lot better. But yeah, just me just on

719
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: my own being an idiot, just like like I just run.

720
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm like no, so quick question for you guys, cam

721
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals or Jamis against Eddie's Giants, and I'm

722
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: I and I'm gonna say it on the show today,

723
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking about freaking starting Jamis Winston this week

724
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: because the Giants are awful. I love you, but they stink. No,

725
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I would, I would play Jamis over camera right now too.

726
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's the Giants. The Giants had I mean

727
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Genores Jenkins said it perfectly after that game yesterday. The

728
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: Giants cannot rush the quarterback like they do not have

729
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: a pass rush right now, and their secondary is fine,

730
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's not terrible. But yeah, Jamis in the

731
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: Bucks should go off in that game. Yeah, I mean, look,

732
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: I I know he's I know he does know he does,

733
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: but he was I mean last week he had like

734
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: fourteen points. The week before he was seven. He was terrible.

735
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: And the Giant I mean, we all love Josh Allen

736
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: this past week and he just went he went bullissic.

737
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: He bawled out two Fantasy points. So I mean it's

738
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: like it's like, you know, you don't trust him, but

739
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: the matchup is so good, how do you not play?

740
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: And even as bad as as Jamis was for most

741
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: of that game against Carolina, he figured it out late

742
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: and he moved the ball and he made some plays late.

743
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: So at least that sort of he say, schizophrenic fantasy quarterback,

744
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from that? Absolutely is the is absolutely

745
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: case there. Um. The other thing that we don't know

746
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: what is the Niners running back rotation, right, I mean

747
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: Matt Brida. Matt Brida looked great when he got the

748
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: ball yesterday over a hundred yards, but right he most

749
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: played the most snaps out of anybody in the backfield.

750
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson came in and scored a touchdown. Uh, It's

751
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: it's like Shannahanigans are back with a new generation. You know,

752
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: like the millennials are keeping some things going, right. Uh,

753
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannahan keeping Shannahanigans going. And now you know, look,

754
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: I've already put in a couple of waiver claims for

755
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Rocky Mostard across leagues. I mean, he's going to be

756
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: a very popular ad, I would think this season. Yeah, yeah,

757
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: And I've got the numbers. Two he Mostard had sixteen touches,

758
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: Brida only had thirteen, Wilson had ten. Wilson had five

759
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: red zone touches, mosted to Brita zero. And then when

760
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: you look at the snaps played most at Brida at

761
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: thirty one and Jeff Wilson who wasn't on the roster. Yeah,

762
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: this is not anything new. Shanahan rotates his running backs.

763
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: He does not care what type, what point of the

764
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: game they're in. He does not care if they're in

765
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the red zone. He doesn't care if it's third down,

766
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: second down, and he does not care. They did this

767
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta to it just so happened. They only had

768
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: two guys, and they're were really good players, DeVonta Freeman,

769
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. Now he's got Matt Britta, who's really good.

770
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: But these other two rotational guys, he just doesn't even care.

771
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: He does not care. He's gonna play. He's gonna play

772
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: his guys and and optimize his running back usage to

773
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: keep these guys fresh. Got Pittsburgh coming up this week,

774
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: so and Pittsburgh gave it up to say, I mean,

775
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: they were Henny, they weren't great against the Seahawks yesterday.

776
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: So so yep. So, I mean you're you're looking at

777
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: that back and you spoke of Atlanta. What the heck

778
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: do you do with that backfield right now? I mean,

779
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: Freeman weeks absolute disaster. Uh, He's been on the field

780
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: for fifty of the snaps. But Eto Smith's been out there.

781
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: He's getting looks too, So I don't know. I mean,

782
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: I think I think we can all agree that that

783
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: we were saying, Hey, Freeman is an RB two. Yeah,

784
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: I'll take him. So far, he has been awful. Yeah,

785
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: through two weeks that has not been good. I mean,

786
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: the the the Falcons offense has left some things to

787
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: be desired through the first couple. Yeah, I think that's

788
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it. They have not been

789
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: it well. They started this season with the Vikings front seven,

790
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: so sure, on the road tough game. Eagles front seven

791
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: is very, very good. The Eagles run defense was amazing,

792
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: amazing last year. So two tough spots at start of

793
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: the year. I'm not freaking out just yet. But Edo

794
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: Smith playing a little bit more than I think we expected.

795
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the concern long term. Definitely, that is

796
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: a definitely a concern there. Uh, speaking of running backs,

797
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: the other thing we don't know that did we overvalue

798
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson. I'm like, I'm I'm speaking from a

799
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: place of hurt right now because I drafted him in

800
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: so many places and was like really excited, like I

801
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: got Carrie On Johnson in the third round. It's gonna

802
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: be great. And he's been fine. It's just the workload

803
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: has not been what I thought it was going to be.

804
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of us went into

805
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: this season expecting him to kind of be more of

806
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: a workhorse and for the Lions to be more pass heavy,

807
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: and he's just been okay through the first couple of weeks. Yeah,

808
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: he's been held under under three yards per carrying back

809
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: to back games now, had eighteen touches Week one, fourteen

810
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: this past week against the Chargers, a tough spot coming

811
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: up two against the Eagles in Week three. Um, I'm not.

812
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean, do we ever expect carry On Johnson to

813
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: be the like a bell cow though, like just a

814
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: true he plays five percent of the snaps and never

815
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: comes off the field. Like if that was the expectation,

816
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: I think that might have been a little too high. Maybe, Um,

817
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I just thought, you know, I just

818
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: felt like they were really going to try and and

819
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: and ride him a little bit more. Um. But yeah,

820
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's playing about the snaps. Through two weeks,

821
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: he's averaging like sixteen touches a game. I mean, c J.

822
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: Anderson had eleven carries in week one and that was

823
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: reduced back down to five this past week in a

824
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: game to the lines won by the way, right. Um yeah,

825
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson got more more burned this week too. So

826
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: not that you're picking up Ty Johnson, but Ty Johnson

827
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: to be the handcuff to kJ should anything happen to him, Now, yeah,

828
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: that's possible too. I guess that's something just to kind

829
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: of keep in mind and see how this thing goes. So,

830
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: uh So, there we go. That's through two weeks. We'll

831
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: we'll also keep an eye obviously on what happens on

832
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: Monday nights, and you know, we'll we'll make some snap

833
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: judgments that will be totally wrong by week seven. That's fine,

834
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Uh So, that's It's kind of

835
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: a depressing day, isn't it. I mean, like breezes up

836
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's you know, done for the season. Uh. You know,

837
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: dudes that we drafted highly are not producing poor Eddies

838
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: or Giants fan. It's just sad aerund here today. Man,

839
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: it's a bummer of a day. It is a gloomy,

840
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: gloomy Week two, no doubt about it. Uh. So on

841
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: the up and up though, there's the waiver wire hopefully

842
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: that can boost our spirits a little bit. We put

843
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: together a list of guys that that should be available

844
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: in a majority of leagues that have some potential in

845
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: the weeks going forward. Uh let's see, just in no

846
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: particular order, here a couple of chiefs to Marcus Robinson,

847
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Nicole Hardman, who was a waiver wire guy last week.

848
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: And you know hear us now believe us later. Uh

849
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: go get Nicole Hardman because obviously with Tyreek Hill out,

850
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: his role increases there in Kansas City. Uh. Facts, you

851
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: mentioned it before the show, and it is absolutely true.

852
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin is Uh, you know, we didn't talk about

853
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: him a lot, and I tried to pick him up

854
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: in like every league I could last week. I mean

855
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: I got him in so many spots. After this week

856
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: he looks good. I almost don't want Haskins to take

857
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: the job because case Kaden is looking for him a lot.

858
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: So you know, guys, Terry McLaren is gonna be the

859
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: top scoring rookie receiver this year. He's what's gonna be

860
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: him him in Hollywood, Hollywoodwood, other big games. Long term,

861
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you McLaren has more opportunity. The Redskins are

862
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: going to be trailing more and the Ravens have Mark Andrews. Yeah,

863
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. So a few other a few

864
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: other receivers to target Deebo, Samuel Hell. At this point,

865
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: Donna Pettis is droppable. Dante Pettis did not play. He

866
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: played more than two snaps this he played thirty three

867
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: snaps about zero till he is. He is droppable at

868
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: this point. Uh. We talked about d J H. Chuck Okay,

869
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it again, Chris Connolly, d D

870
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: west Chris we all loved, but when Fulls went down,

871
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: our worst fears have been met. I really thought that

872
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: maybe with a week of practice that Gardner Minshee would

873
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: would kind of look in Westbrook's direction a little bit more.

874
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: But you know, at least at least this past week

875
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Maybe it happened. This has been

876
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: the theme of this podcast that Texans Jack's game is

877
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: freaking weird too. I mean, neither of those teams really

878
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: did much of anything offensives for Netts hasn't gotten anything

879
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: done too. In two weeks, is not left the field,

880
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: so I'm not concerned. No, that's good, but when when

881
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball, I mean wait, and then they

882
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: tried to win the game yesterday and the men show

883
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: was Jackson was leading rusher when it was Yeah. Yeah. Um.

884
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: We talked about Mikole Hardman as a waiver wire pickup.

885
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Here's one that, um, you may not think of off

886
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: the top of your head, but he's absolutely worth rostering. Uh.

887
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: That Jason Vorhees of fantasy football because he will never die.

888
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Devin Singletary left the game yesterday with a

889
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Not sure if he's gonna miss any games.

890
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll miss one or two, uh, in a worst

891
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: case scenario. But Frank freaking Gore is going to be

892
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: a flex starter on fantasy rosters in Week three. If

893
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: Singletary can't play, it is amazing. He just will not

894
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: go away. Yeah, no, he will like said, he will

895
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: live forever. He absolutely will live for ever. Say we

896
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: mentioned Ray Moster, Deebo Samuel. Uh, those are guys, Teddy

897
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: Bridgewater obviously with Drew brees out. I mean that's kind

898
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: of a deep poll right now. If you really need

899
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: some quarterback help, Uh, Mason Rudolph obviously we mentioned him

900
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: now that Ben Roethlisberger is done for the year. Another

901
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: guy who who you may want to kind of target

902
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: if you really need some help at quarterback. But yeah,

903
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: that's it, uh for for we were water don't even

904
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: more anymore guys Bridgewater, Yeah, Te and Teddy be's there,

905
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: Teddy two gloves. I mean, listen fantasy football and we've

906
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: said it. You know, it's so unpredictable. Hell Garden Minshew, Like,

907
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean if you're in a two keyp league or

908
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: super flex league. Dude, he mean him and Bridgewater both

909
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: mensh not terrible. He wasn't terrible. If he's going to

910
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: run the ball, hell, he's He's worth a look, man.

911
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,840

912
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely Jalen obviously with James Conner and then both McCoy

913
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: and Damian Williams are both dealing with injuries. Williams left

914
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with a knee injury last night, and

915
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,640

916
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,000

922
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,640
