1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Wow, what is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, name g Marcus Grants.

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like neo in the matrix,

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: and we are almost done with Week nine and it

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: can't be over a moment too soon. Uh. It was frustrating,

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: lee awful week. We'll get to that and plenty more

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But as always joined by

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: producer Justin and the specialist, as the cast of dozens

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: that help us put on this show and joined on

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: screen has always by my pal Michael f Florio, And

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about this this morning, like Week nine

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: was it was pretty much just a dumpster fire when

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: it came to to fantasy predictions and analysis this week. Yeah,

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: it was especially rough um for me because I'm a

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Bills fan and my favorite player, uh in NFL history

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: really is Josh Allen. So hearing yesterday NonStop about how

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the other Josh Allen was having a career day and

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: my favorite player, Josh Allen was struggling. It was it

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a rough day for me.

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen just dominated Josh Allen and you know, at

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: some point you figured Josh Allen was going to come

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: up with an answer for Josh Allen, but Josh Allen

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: just kept stepping up and making plays whenever Josh Allen

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. Um, yeah, that was wild. It was.

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: It was fun at first, but by like the fourth quarter,

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: when the Bills are losing and turning over the ball,

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I was like enough already, Like I get it, Like

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Jaguars, Josh Allen pretty much hit for the

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: cycle against the Bills. Josh Allen on Sunday, uh and

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars shocked the world getting a nine six win

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: that when he photos shouted his face on Michael Jordan's

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I took that person like, I was like, I can't

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: even be mad, Like this guy deserves it, Like go

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: out and celebrate all week. You've earned it. I mean honestly,

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: from the moment he got drafted, I would sort of

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: secretly rooting for the day that Josh Allen would sack

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I didn't think it would just be a

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen bonanza in any one game. But you know,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: here here we are, so uh, we have plenty to

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: talk about on the show today. We're gonna ask the

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: question is it a rap for Clyde Edwards Hilaire in

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City? How where we should we be about him? Also,

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: is the time to jump on the vermondre Stevenson train.

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: And of course we will have a preview of the

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Monday night football game between the Bears and the Steelers.

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: But first let's get into some fantasy headlines as we

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: usually do. UH. Start in Carolina where it was another

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: awful day for Sam Donald, and that start he had

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: the first three weeks or so of the season is

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: a distant memory. Uh, an awful game against the Patriots,

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, three interceptions, got screamed at by Robby Anderson

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and a tweet I saw about Sam

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Donald specifically against the Patriots because remember it was what

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he did the whole

55
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing ghosts thing and that was against New England. UM.

56
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: In his career against the Patriots, Sam Donald has one

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: touchdown pass, nine interceptions and zero wins. Just perfectly awful.

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: But this Florio kind of is part of a string

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: of awfulness that we've seen from him over the last

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: month or so. I wasn't last week or two weeks

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: ago he was benched for p J. Walker. Um, he

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: got the starting job again this week. Now it's sort

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: of up in the air. And so the question is,

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: at some point, if we have say d J. Moore

65
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: or we're holding onto Robby Anderson for whatever reason, do

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: we need for p J. Walker to take over as

67
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. Uh, it can't hurt at this point.

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't think Sam Donald is is Sam Donald? Like

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: I actually even tweeted yesterday markets like, maybe Sam Donald

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: owes Adam Gaze an apology because it's that bad right

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: now for Sam Donald. Since Week five, his high and

72
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: passing yards is two hundred and seven. He doesn't have

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: a game in that stretch with multiple passing touchdowns. Hasn't

74
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: thrown a passing touchdown in three straight games. Uh, seven

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the year to eleven interceptions. It's been brutal. Uh.

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of kicking myself because early in the

77
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: year I did get sucked into with Sam Donald's good play,

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: but he was rushing touchdowns and we knew that wasn't

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: sustainable for him. So Uh, I think even with Christian

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: McCaffrey back, he struggled. Yeah, I think we should be

81
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: rooting for p J. Walker for one reason, Marcus, because

82
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Sam donnand right now is going to get these receivers

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: they're hurt. Like it happened with d J. Moore yesterday,

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: it happened with Harris Marshall. Robby Anderson was screaming at

85
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: him over the sideline. Not only is he not playing well,

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: he's not protecting his receivers either. That's actually a big part,

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: I think, not necessarily for fantasy. I mean, obviously we

88
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: don't want to see anybody hurt for any reason, especially

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, for fantasy purposes, you don't want to lose

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: one of your receivers. But if you're Matt Rule right now,

91
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: if you're the head coach of the Carolina Panthers and

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: you don't try us that your quarterback can keep your

93
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: other players protected, then you really do have to look

94
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: at making the change and the way Donald is playing.

95
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't feel like there's much to lose by putting

96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: p J. Walker in there. Um, the Panthers are sort

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: of in free fall right now in a in a

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: conference where you know they're not out of it. Um.

99
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: You know, I looked this morning and I thought the

100
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: forty Niners were done at three and five, but they're

101
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: still very much in play for a wild card. The

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: saying goes for the Panthers, so I wouldn't be surprised

103
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: if we see a change coming soon. Um, And maybe

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: that helps with guys like DJ Moore. Uh yeah, makes

105
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: you wonder what they would have been with Teddy Bridgewater,

106
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: It really does, because Teddy b had a pretty good day.

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: The Broncos had a really good day against the Dallas Cowboys,

108
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: and it does make you wonder what they would have

109
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: done if they hadn't decided to go out and and

110
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 1: make that change. Who knows. UM. In Arizona, Chase Edmonds

111
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: left the game early on Sunday against the forty Niners

112
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. It turns out they didn't need

113
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: him because James Connor was level, scoring three touchdowns against

114
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco in a route But the report coming this

115
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: morning from our own Ian Rapp report says Chase Edmonds

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: is feared to have suffered a high ankle sprain and

117
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: that potentially means a short term stay on injured reserve,

118
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: which of course is at least three games. Generally speaking,

119
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: players with a high ankle sprain and miss anywhere from

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: four to six weeks. So what it looks like at

121
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: least right now is that Chase Edmunds is certainly going

122
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: to miss some time. The question becomes how much in

123
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: the interim. I mean, look, Florio, James Connor was already

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: playing well with scoring touchdowns at will. But now with

125
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: no Chase Edmonds, does that mc connor a must start

126
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: every week? I think so. I know yesterday was a

127
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: little skewed because there was no Kyler Mary that the

128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: cards were very banged up. But in Edmunds absence, They's

129
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Tart targeted James Conner five times. He caught all five

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: of them. Uh. He went for seventies seven receiving yards

131
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. He rushed for nineties six yards and two.

132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this is his fourth game with multiple touchdowns

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: this year. The touchdowns alone, we're keeping him at fantasy

134
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: as a starting option even with Chase Edmonds. But in

135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: his absence, I don't think it's gonna be like a

136
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: split between him and Eno Benjamin. I think, you know,

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: will get involved, but the bulk of the carries and

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the targets I think go to Connor. We know he's

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: already gonna get those goal one carries. I think he's

140
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: very much so it must start option until Edmunds returns,

141
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: and after that I think there might be a changing

142
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: of the guard there. I mean, it's gonna be hard

143
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: to get away from James Conner if he keeps playing

144
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: this well. I would agree with that too. And I

145
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: thought Chase Edmonds is always sort of a nice complimentary piece.

146
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: I never believed he was necessarily going to be a

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: frontline guy. That's what the Cardinals were trying to do,

148
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: and he was fine. But really that touchdown upside is

149
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: what makes Connor super valuable. But now if he's going

150
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: to start getting more touches, um, and I can't really

151
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: envision a scenario where I would take him out of

152
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: my lineup. Um. By the way, I felt like this weekend,

153
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: I was victimized multiple times by Arizona State University. First,

154
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the sun Devils beat up on my beloved Trojans who

155
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: just don't have a clue and and really might as

156
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: well just just wave the white flag for the rest

157
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: of the season. Then on top of it, you know,

158
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Benjamin comes out of nowhere to score a touchdown against

159
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, I don't really know what the people

160
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: in Tempe have against me, but apparently they're upset with me,

161
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry you personal Regina George apparently yeah, yeah,

162
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: uh someone someone, someone in the value of the Sun,

163
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out on a mountain or whatever, has

164
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: like a burn book my names in it, and that's great.

165
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. Uh, last bit of news here,

166
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: um de Sean Jackson did get his release from the

167
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: RAMS after he sort of asked for it and the

168
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: RAMS obliged, and he reported himself via Instagram that he

169
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: is going to the Las Vegas Raiders. So I doesn't

170
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: really have to move all that far. You can even

171
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: commute from l A to Las Vegas. It's just that easy.

172
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: But the bigger picture here, right the Raiders obviously in

173
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: need of past catching help. Brian Edwards uh just disappeared recently.

174
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: Obviously we know the story with Henry Ruggs not going

175
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: to be playing football anytime soon if ever. Again, I'm

176
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: with Deshan Jackson going to Vegas. Does this make him

177
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: worth an ad for fantasy rosters? I think so. I

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: will say there's other receivers. The waiver Wire article is

179
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: already out. There's other receivers I like more than him

180
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: this week, but if you miss out on those guys,

181
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: I think that DeShawn Jackson is definitely worth rostering. I mean,

182
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday the Raiders. They got Kennyan Drake heavily

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: involved in the passing and they were just searching for

184
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: a receiver. It was really Waller and Renfro like Brian

185
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: Edwards didn't step up. He didn't even have a catch.

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: We know that the Raiders are void of their deep

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: target now, so I think that is a role that

188
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson can come in and fill right away. He

189
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: still has juice, he is still fast, he could fly

190
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: down the field. It was just Van Jefferson stepped up

191
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: and was out playing him in in uh In l A.

192
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: But I think now in Vegas, where there's a lot

193
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: of targets up for grabs, there's a role that he

194
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: can feel. I think that you can take a flyer

195
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: off him off the waiver wire, and I think it

196
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: is I think that's what it is. It's kind of

197
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: a flyer because de Sean Jackson has always sort of

198
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: been Boomer Buss, but now that he is pretty much

199
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: at the end of his career. I think that's even

200
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: more so. So I think you will have some games

201
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: where he may be connects with Derek Carr and a

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: couple of deep throws, and you know, he's he's always

203
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: good for the you know, three catches for you know,

204
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten yards and a touchdown, but he

205
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: also can follow that up with like, you know, four

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: catches for twenty seven yards and then you're frustrated. So

207
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: just just sort of keep that in mind. But I

208
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: would imagine you're going to see a lot of folks

209
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: making a move to pick up de Sean Jackson, uh

210
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: in the next week or so, just to try and

211
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: fill out their roster and add some depth to the

212
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver spot. All right, that gets us to another

213
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: weekly edition of Things we learned, all the stuff that

214
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: we picked up by watching football on Sunday, And I

215
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: feel like this is a chance for you to lament

216
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about what happened with your Bills a

217
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: little bit. One thing that I learned, and it wasn't

218
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: just yesterday yesterday was like what cemented it is the

219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive line is a problem. Uh and and it's

220
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: something that I really have felt since Week one and

221
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was getting enough talk because Josh

222
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Allen and the Bill's offense was playing well. They were

223
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: still putting up, you know, like thirty plus points a week,

224
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: one of the top scoring offenses. But Allen has been

225
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: under durest a lot this season, at least it feels

226
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: like it when you watch. He's constantly running for his life.

227
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: He can't keep his eyes down field because he's just

228
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: trying to find anyone that is open. But I'll also

229
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: say that it's not just entirely the offensive line, because

230
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is under pressure actually a little bit less

231
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: according to Nextion stats than he was last season. Watching

232
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: the game, it feels like he's under a lot more pressure,

233
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: But according to the next in stats, it's pretty similar.

234
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: But his numbers have taken a hit. The completion percentages down,

235
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: expected completion percentages down, air yards is down, pass rating

236
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: is way down. So he is the old one and

237
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen are both struggling when they're under pressure, and

238
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I think it is something that we have to monitor

239
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: moving forward. Um even in an easy matchup yesterday, Markets,

240
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the Bills and Allen were not able to take advantage

241
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: of it, and it quite hasn't been like they were

242
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: last season. It really hasn't, you know. I was very

243
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: surprised when I looked up at that game in the

244
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: second quarter and the Bills I think, had just three points.

245
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: It's like, what is going on? I just anticipated they

246
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: were going to get out and it's sort of, you know,

247
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: steamroll the Jaguars, but that didn't happen. I mean, credit

248
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: to the Jags for figuring something out and making plays

249
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: when they needed to. Um. So, it's weird because we're

250
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen sort of not being a hundred

251
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: percent what we wanted. We know, Patrick Mahomes we'll talk

252
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: about a little bit later on in the show. That's

253
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: a whole other can of worms right there. So it's

254
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: definitely something to to maybe be concerned about. On the

255
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: flip side, I'm sort of happy about Carson Wentz because

256
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: right now he feels like a QB one to me.

257
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go so far and say that

258
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: he's a league winner, because I don't know that he's

259
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: been that good, but he's been pretty good. I mean,

260
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: you go back over the last six weeks and he's

261
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: got fourteen passing touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. He's

262
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: been over twenty points and two of the last three games.

263
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: You can plug him in and pretty much feel confident

264
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get at least a solid floor of

265
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: seventeen points, and then if something good happens, uh, maybe

266
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: that number goes up. He's got some nice games on

267
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: the schedule next week, They've got the Jaguars, They've got

268
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the Texans at some point. They do have the Raiders

269
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: on Championship Week. So there are some spots where you

270
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: can get Carson Wentz in your lineup and feel pretty

271
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: good about your production over the last month. He is

272
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the QB seven that's heading into Monday Night football. I

273
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: I liked went at the beginning of the year Floria

274
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: as a sort of a QB two, a fringe guy,

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: maybe a plug in streamer option. I feel like he's

276
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: been that so far, and maybe even a little bit more. Yeah,

277
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: he's been consistent, which is very useful in fantasy football,

278
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: like all but one game with seventeen fantasy points, multiple

279
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in sixth straight. I write about him weekly

280
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: in the Waiver Wire column. He's finally now just over

281
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: roster and NFL dot Com leagues. I still feel like

282
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: that number is too low. I think it needs to

283
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: be higher, especially with good matchups coming up. Like you said, yeah,

284
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go up. I hope it's gonna

285
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: go up. But yeah, he's he's very just he's been steady. Right,

286
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't been spectacular, but he's been steady, and I

287
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: think that's worth some recognition at this point. All Right,

288
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: we will take a quick break. When we come back,

289
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: we will dive into some of the top performers from

290
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: this past week, including a couple of older guys who

291
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: seem to be doing some big things. We'll check in

292
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: on that after the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

293
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Here's a look at some of the top performers from

294
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: week nine. Justin Herbert, where's your QB one with more

295
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: than thirty one and a half Fantasy points? Matt Ryan

296
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: at QB three, Carson Wentz, who we just talked about,

297
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: is your QB five with just over twenty four Fantasy points.

298
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: James Conner forty points, just going nuclear as your RB one.

299
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, who actually sat a top the RB rankings

300
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: for a while. On Sunday he finishes. These are r

301
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: B two right now with thirty or four points. Davonte

302
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Freeman showing up kind of out of nowhere to get

303
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: to sixteen is the RB nine. Elijah More way back

304
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday finishes as your wide receiver one with twenty

305
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: seven points. Davante Smith with his first big game in

306
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: a while, twenty two and a half points there, Brandon

307
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Auk kind of resurrected a little bit to nearly nineteen

308
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: points and make him with the wide receiver eight. And

309
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: welcome back George Kittle. He got twenty points there. He

310
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: was your tight end one for the week. So let's

311
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: get to some of these guys though, that we saw

312
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: on that list. Matt Ryan had a really nice day

313
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: and has quietly put together a string of nice games.

314
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: And we talked about Carson Wentz being sort of steady

315
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: but not spectacular. I feel like Matt Ryan has sort

316
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: of fallen into that recently. Should we be talking about

317
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: him more? Is he worth more starting consideration based on

318
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: how he's played lately? I think so, And I think

319
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: like I was overlooking him a bit as well, but

320
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I changed that in week nine. I wrote about him

321
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: in the Waiver Wire article. I mean three hundred and

322
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: forty three passing yards, two touchdowns, and then he added

323
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. You can't bank on the rushing touchdown

324
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: each week, but he is now top twenty one Fantasy

325
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: points in three of his last five games. The issue

326
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan is he doesn't bring a safe floor.

327
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Like last week he had seven Fantasy points, so there's

328
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: always the chance that he gives you a dud. But

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I think he's become at least a quarterback that we

330
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: could streaming good matchups, like next week he gets the Cowboys,

331
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after that, he gets the Jaguars, Like,

332
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I think he's in play in those favorable matchups, especially

333
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: because we know he's gonna have to throw a good

334
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: amount because they're they're running backs are better suited as

335
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: pass catching running backs, and then their defense gives up

336
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: a lot of points, which leads to Matt Ryan typically

337
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: having to you know, throw a lot late in the

338
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: game as well. So I think he's a streaming option

339
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: in favorable matchups. You talk about their their running backs

340
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: being pass catchers, Cordario Patterson had a hundred receiving yards.

341
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: Uh uh, and I mean they lined him out wide

342
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: a few times. Awesome. Look, that's it's he's awesome. It's

343
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: not a terrible surprise considering, you know, teams were trying

344
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: to shoehorn him as a wide receiver for a number

345
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: of years until the Falcons figured out how to unlock

346
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: him this year. But yeah, I mean, Matt Ryan is

347
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: one of those guys who, again, he's kind of a

348
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: fringe QB one, probably better suited as a QB two,

349
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: who you can use when the matchups are right, and

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: the matchups have been right up first of all, but second,

351
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: just watching the Falcons offensively, it's like they're sort of

352
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: figuring some things out and finding a rhythm recently. And

353
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: it's maybe even more surprising that they're kind of doing

354
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: this without Calvin Ridley. At least the last couple of weeks.

355
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts has kind of been up and down, not

356
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: necessarily consistent week to week, but for whatever reason, Atlantis

357
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: is figuring out how to be effective offensively. Defensively, they

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: still have issues, but at least at least Matt Ryan

359
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: can can be a nice guy that you can sort

360
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: of count on when the matchup is right. And uh,

361
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: I think he's he's sort of deserving of maybe a

362
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: little more praise, a little more uh startability, and he's

363
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: only rostered in league. So if you were the streaming

364
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: quarterback notion, UH, maybe he's worth picking up sometime in

365
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: the near future. Uh. The other guy, former founcon Devonte Freeman,

366
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: who is now in Baltimore and uh had sixteen points.

367
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: I was a top ten running back heading into Monday

368
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: Night football. We have been kind of racking our brains

369
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: trying to figure out this Ravens running back situation. So

370
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: after what we saw on Sunday, is DeVante Freeman the

371
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: Ravens running back we want on our rosters. I think

372
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: he is for now. I have questions of what it's

373
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: gonna look like once Lottavius Mary is back, because Freeman,

374
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: while he had a role, he was playing a secondary

375
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: role behind Lettavius Mary. But he's played well in his absence.

376
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday he saw thirteen carries for seventy nine yards,

377
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: caught two of his three targets for four yards and

378
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think that he's been an adequate running

379
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: back for this team we know. I think he is

380
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the preferred pass catching option of the two. But I'm

381
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: starting to wonder if when Latavias Mary comes back, well

382
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: we see more of a split than we had been

383
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: seeing between the two. I do think if if nothing else,

384
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman is worth picking up right now, and I

385
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: think he's a streamable option. If Lettavias Mary is out

386
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: again next week, which I mean he didn't even practice

387
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: last week, so Lettavias Mary could be out once again,

388
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: I definitely think he should be added to some more rosters. Uh,

389
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: just because regardless of who's back there, the one thing

390
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: we know is that the Ravens are going to run

391
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: the football pretty consistently. So if Freeman is for now

392
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: the guy, then he should be on rosters. Uh. Remember

393
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: remember way back another lifetime ago. It feels like when

394
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: we were all on the Tyson Williams train like that

395
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: that went off the rails. He had two good games

396
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: and then was never seen again. Uh uh Yeah. DeVonta Freeman,

397
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: by the way, is rostered in less than of NFL

398
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: dot Com League, so he is still widely available. So

399
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: he should probably look into that this week when you

400
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: were making some of your waiver claims. And so, by

401
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the way, I know there are people out there that

402
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend asked me if some starting questions as

403
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, as happens. I know there was DeVante Freeman

404
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: and a few of them, and I don't think I

405
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: recommended starting him anywhere because I just honestly couldn't quite

406
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: put my finger on what to do with the Ravens backfield.

407
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: So I apologize for that, which fittingly enough transfers us

408
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: to uh, what is normally the I'm salty segment. It's

409
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: normally the segment of the show where we talk about

410
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: the guys that frustrated and disappointed us and let us down.

411
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: But if anything, you all should be salty this week

412
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like we all let you down, certainly, Uh,

413
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Floria and I had our mrs. I feel like across

414
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the fantasy analysis industry there are a lot of swings

415
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: and misses in a week where nothing seemed to go

416
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: according to plans. So instead of I'm salty, uh, this

417
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: is more of an I'm sorry. So this is our

418
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: chance to sort of apologize for some of the big

419
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: things that we whipped on this week. So if you

420
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: would like to start offs off with the Maya culpas,

421
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: where would you like to begin one of my biggest

422
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: swings and mrs was Tyrod Taylor this past week. I

423
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: thought Taylor was in a good spot returning off the

424
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: i R after they gave him extra time to get

425
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: that hamstring ready in what on paper was a great

426
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: matchup against the Miami Dolphins. But he was anything but

427
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: good yesterday. Two hundred and forty passing yards, three interceptions,

428
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: just twenty three rushing yards. I mean this one interception

429
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: that he had on the sideline, It's like he forgot that,

430
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: like the other team can catch the ball. Also the

431
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: other the defenser steps out of bound, steps back in

432
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: and catches it, and they this one right here. I

433
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: don't know why it was upheld. I don't know what

434
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Tarad Taylor was thinking. Either way, it was a huge

435
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: disappointment in fantasy, and I put it out on Twitter

436
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: markets I started him in some leagues myself, So I'm

437
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: sorry greatly, and I felt the pain myself firsthand. I

438
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: sort of with you, because I really thought that that

439
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: Tyrode was in a really good spot, and uh, I

440
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't start him anywhere, but I certainly advocated for starting

441
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: him in some places. Um. Similarly, I'm sorry about just

442
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: telling everybody that Joe Burrow was a must start this week.

443
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: I really thought it was. I mean that the Browns

444
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: had been struggling defensively. They were certainly having their own

445
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: share of issues in the locker room with the whole

446
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham situation. The Bengals, yes, I know they sort

447
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: of laid an egg the week before to the Jets,

448
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: but still seemed like they were on track for some

449
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: big things in the division and this was going to

450
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: be a big statement game. Uh, and it was. They

451
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: made a statement. The statement was we're still sort of

452
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals and I don't know if we're ready to

453
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: take that leap forward. But Joe Burrow not a good

454
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: day for him. Uh. Fewer than three hundred passing yards, Okay,

455
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: that's fine, the two eight two not bad. A pair

456
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: of interceptions, Uh, one rushing yard. He got you seven

457
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: point three fantasy points right now, He's sitting at the

458
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: QB twenty three this week. Not at all what you

459
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: were expecting, especially from a guy who had gotten you

460
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: twenty plus points in four of his previous five games. Uh,

461
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: this just was not This was ugly from the Bengals

462
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: all around. It definitely didn't help that, you know, Jamar

463
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: Chase dropped it should have been a touchdown and just

464
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: he just didn't get a lot of help offensively. But

465
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: it was just a rough day for the Tiger King

466
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: and his pals there against the Browns. Um, yeah, I

467
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: was with you, Marcus. I have a league where I

468
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: start Kyler Murray all year and I have him as

469
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: my backup, and I was like, see, this is why

470
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: I've held him all year and Nope, Yeah, that that

471
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: was rough. Anywhere else that you feel like you need

472
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: to make amends for, I owe a big apology for

473
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: anyone who started Cadarius Tony. And on Sunday morning, I

474
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: told a bunch of people to start Caldarius Tony. He

475
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: had one target for nine yards, one carry for negative

476
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: two yards. The Giants receivers as a whole had five

477
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: targets yesterday. That was fewer than their tight ends and

478
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: they're running backs. I don't know what the game plan

479
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: was here. It was a pretty good matchup. Caldarius Tony

480
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: with Nels Shepherd has been awesome. He's explosive and he

481
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: just got completely factored out. So I started him in

482
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: a couple of leagues myself. I was very excited for him.

483
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: I had him ranked as the top Tony receiver. Huge

484
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: swing in a miss there and uh yeah this one,

485
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very sorry on this one. Yeah, there is tone.

486
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: It was another one that that I really liked this week.

487
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: And it's just so weird that the Giants just didn't

488
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: throw the ball to their wide receivers. I don't understand.

489
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't really understand what was what was happening there.

490
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Um yeah, they gotta win, so I guess it sort

491
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: of worked out. It just was bizarre. And and I

492
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: did recommend Tony to a lot of folks. Uh. I

493
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: also recommended Boston Scott to a lot of people. Thought

494
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: he was a must start after what we saw the

495
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: week before. Um uh, it just it just didn't work. Um.

496
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that he played the Kenny Gainwell

497
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: role from the week before, but that really wasn't the case.

498
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: I mean, Gainwell did have more points than Boston Scott,

499
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: but he also only had a three yard touchdown. Like

500
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: that was the extent of Kenneth Gainwell's production, so he

501
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: was really a non factor as well. The Boston Scott

502
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: got you forty total yards on the ground on tin

503
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: carry's against a bad charger run defense. He just really

504
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be seen. Um, And so I I

505
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: got a tweet from somebody who said, the week before

506
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: they started Kenny Gaine, well, this week they started Boston

507
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Scott and they just were kind of pulling their hair

508
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: out as to what to do about Philadelphia running backs.

509
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: My answer to you is, well, we'll get to it

510
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: a little bit later. Actually, I do have an answer

511
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: um that that will come a little bit later on

512
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: in the show, so stay tuned for that. But I mean,

513
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: I know I wasn't the only one on Boston Scott

514
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: this week, but man, that that one, just that was

515
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: a huge miss this week in the league. Marcus. I

516
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: I decided to start him over Darryl Williams because I

517
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: was like, I have Williams elsewhere. I even started him

518
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: over d J. Moore because I didn't feel great about

519
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: more and I lost by like two points, and if

520
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: I went with either other option over Boston Scott, I win.

521
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I've I've been especially salty towards Boston

522
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: Scott today. Just yeah. Um, he did have a very

523
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: funny tweet. We can't really use it, but we've all

524
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: been there. Just go just go google Buston Scott Twitter.

525
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: He has a tweet about going home and playing Rocket

526
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: League against the twelve year olds, um and and just

527
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: sort of the the emotional pain of that as well.

528
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: So it's definitely worth taking a look at. You probably

529
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm about to ask you to do because

530
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I do it pretty much at this time in every show.

531
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna asking anyway, go follow us on TikTok

532
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: please at NFL Fantasy where we're doing a whole lot

533
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: of fun, interesting, exciting stuff. Um yeah, it's it's hopefully

534
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: informative and hopefully it keeps you entertained. Hopefully you know

535
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: it it satisfies your short attention span. If that's who

536
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: you are, not judging, I'm one of you. It's all good. Uh.

537
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: You'd also checked me out at Marcus Grant on TikTok

538
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know, are you still exploring these

539
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: studio space with with TikTok? I am basically when I

540
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: opened TikTok, I watched you and rank videos for like

541
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: the first you know, a couple of minutes, and then

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: I started to explore a little bit. But I need

543
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: to get just using it more. I get self conscious

544
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: when like sound comes around my out of my phone

545
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: and other people are around me. I need to just

546
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: get past that and just start watching some videos on TikTok, right,

547
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: or you know, just like get some earbuds or you

548
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: know whatever. Those are a great invention too, really they

549
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: really are. Yeah. Now I'm very much into cooking TikTok,

550
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: and especially now that it's like slow cooker season and

551
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: soup season, Like I'm getting all these soup ideas. Um, yeah, yeah,

552
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty great, made a really great you know what

553
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna waunch into this whole

554
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: soup thing. We'll save that for the Yeah, we'll save

555
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: that for the cooking show that we do sometime in

556
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the twelfth of Never, I've eaten more soup in the

557
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: last week than in the last six months. So I'm

558
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: excited for that because you know, uh, you're not from

559
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: a place that gets as cold as it does here

560
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, you know, never those usually those mild

561
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: New York winners. Now you're out here in the bottle

562
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: l a cold uh in the wintertime. So yeah, you

563
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: gotta load up on soup. Anyway, let's do some either,

564
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: or shall we? We were talking about guys who have

565
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: been sort of frustrating to to have in your starting

566
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: lineup in fantasy. And we're gonna pick the guy that

567
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: we are the most worried about. Uh. First one, a

568
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks from the a f C. West, Patrick

569
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Derek Carr. Which one of those two are

570
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: you more worried about right now? It's easily Patrick Mahomes

571
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: for me. Like, if I have Derek Carr, I'm pretty

572
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: happy with the results he's given me. I know the

573
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks haven't been great, but on the

574
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: year as a whole, like Patrick Mahomes on the other hand,

575
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: he looks like his normal self for the first five

576
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: games or so, five weeks or so, and then the

577
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: last month has been anything but. And I went in

578
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: to look at like, is he struggling. Maybe it's the

579
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: old line we know that became an issue for him

580
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: late last season. And it's not like he's been under pressure.

581
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Of his throws this year the same number as last

582
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: season in the year before and way lower than his

583
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: m v P season, But his numbers under pressure are

584
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: by far the worst. Is passer rating his completion percentage

585
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: by far career loads so and we're seeing, you know,

586
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: video breakdowns of like his mechanics being off. For me,

587
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: it feels like everything that they do in this offense

588
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: right now is either a throw behind the line of

589
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: scrimmage or it's like forty yards down the field. And

590
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: like Mahomes has come out and said, like, yeah, I

591
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: need to, you know, take the profit, take that fifteen

592
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: ten yard pass when I can. It's just been off

593
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes. And what's even worse, Marcus is he's

594
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes right Like, I'm never gonna drop him. I

595
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: am still not even considering sitting him. But I have

596
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: a lot of Chiefs in fantasy, and like they had

597
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: a really bad Week nine in a lot of places

598
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: because of this Chief's offense. I I have him in

599
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: a couple of places. I was able to sort of

600
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: overcome in one league just because I also have James

601
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Conner and that sort of made up the shortfall that

602
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: I got there. But there is there's a lot of worry.

603
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm more worried about my homes and

604
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: car is because sort of what you alluded to, the

605
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: expectations for Patrick Mahomes are vastly different than what you

606
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: were expecting out of Derek Carr. You didn't come into

607
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: the season thinking I'm gonna draft Derek car and he's

608
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: going to be the guy that I just said it

609
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: and forget it and I start him every single week.

610
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Car was always the guy that, hey, you know what,

611
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: when the matchups ride, I'll put him in. And he's

612
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: definitely gone above and beyond what we thought he was

613
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: going to do. Mahomes has just been slumping over the

614
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: last month. I mean, you can't turn on a football

615
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: themed anything without hearing some discussion of what is wrong

616
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs offense, how do they fix it? And

617
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: does it all start with Patrick Mahomes And and look,

618
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: he's maybe not the full extent of the problem, but

619
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: he is definitely part of it right now. Some of

620
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: it may have to do with the fact the defenses

621
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: really just trying to take away Travis Kelsey and Tyreek

622
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: Hill as much as possible and they don't have another

623
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: real consistent third option to throw it too. But you know,

624
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: right now, we're we're just sort of we're sort of

625
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: that meme with the guy with the stick like poking

626
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: at the Chief's offense saying do something, because they really

627
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: haven't they gotta win on Sunday against the Packers. But

628
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: you do wonder how for that game would have been

629
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers was playing, just because this is not

630
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: the same electric Chiefs offense we've been used to see

631
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: it over the last few years. After that game, markets

632
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: they when they converted that first down yesterday, that like

633
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: sealed the game. I believe it was a past Tyreek

634
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Hill Mahomes like went crazy, and I was like, this

635
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: is sad because if they have thirteen points against a

636
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, that pretty much I think any team would

637
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: have beat the package yesterday. And like you're celebrating, like

638
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you just want to, like you have won the Super Bowl.

639
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: You you put up m v P numbers like you

640
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: routinely put up like thirty points a game. You're you're

641
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: going this crazy for a first down in a game

642
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: that you look this bad in Like, to me, that

643
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: was a bad indication of where this offense is at

644
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: right now. It is not in a good place. And

645
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if they're able to turn it

646
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: around sometime in the very near future, which kind of

647
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: takes us to our next either or um. A couple

648
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: of running backs who right now are not playing for

649
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: their respective teams, and you start to wonder whether or

650
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: not they're going to get their jobs back. Um, Clyde

651
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire versus Miles Sanders, Which of these two are

652
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: you more concerned with? For me, it's Clyde Edwards Hilaire

653
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: because with Miles Sanators when when he got hurt, people

654
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: were asking, like, do I bench this guy? Is he droppable?

655
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: Like he just hasn't lived up to expectations. So while

656
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: I still think he gets the job back when he's healthy,

657
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't have too high expectations for him. Clyde Edwards Hilaier,

658
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: on the other hand, is someone that I drafted in

659
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: the second round of a lot of leagues. I thought

660
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: this guy was going to be the lead runner and

661
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, lead receiver out of the backfield on one

662
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in football. Now, not only do

663
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: we have to worry about the offenses around him, we

664
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: have to worry about uh, Darryl Williams continuing to play

665
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: a big role. Because Williams, I think, has been better

666
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: than Clyde Edwards Hilaire has been. We have to worry

667
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: about Derek Gore, you know, he's a big back. Maybe

668
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: he could steal some goal on work there, so I

669
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: do have I think Clyde Wards Hilaire isn't gonna get

670
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: phased out of this offense, but is it gonna be

671
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: less used than and in a share here? I think

672
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: that is a big concern once he returns. I feel

673
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are coming to the realization that maybe

674
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards de Laire isn't the guy they hoped he

675
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: would be when they drafted him. Look, he's still early

676
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: in his career, but the fact that he has been

677
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: underwhelming for the most part and now he's dealing with

678
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: injury and other guys have stepped in and kind of

679
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: outplayed him. I would think that if you're Andy Reid

680
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: and Eric b Enemy, you're sort of looking around and saying, well,

681
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: maybe there are some other options out there. Um, I

682
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: will still go with Miles Sanders here is the guy

683
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about, just because even when he was

684
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: healthy and playing, we were still hyping up Kenneth Gainwell. Um,

685
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: we will ignore sort of what's happened the last couple

686
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: of weeks with Gainewell kind of being m I A

687
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: but that was a real legitimate conversation we were having

688
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: about a month ago about how Gainwell looks like he

689
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: was ready to start taking food off of Miles Sanders plate.

690
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: Now they go out, they start getting Boston Scott more integrated,

691
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: Jordan how Word has become a big thing, and then

692
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, there are some reports that Howard's role in

693
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: the Philly offense might become more permanent, which does not

694
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: bode well for Miles Sanders. I keep coming back to

695
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: this idea that the Eagles don't like Miles Sanders as

696
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: much as we like Miles Sanders, and at some point

697
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: we need to kind of start listening to that. I mean,

698
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: he's averaging nine points per game, Fantasy points per game. Uh,

699
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: the the opportunity just seems to be shrinking all the time,

700
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: you know. And then they have weeks like they had

701
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: yesterday where we see Davante Smith step in and have

702
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: some big games. We know Jalen Hurts is still going

703
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: to run the football. Um, yeah, you probably didn't spend

704
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: as much draft capital on Miles Sanders as you might

705
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: have on Clyde Edwards Hilaire, but I really do wonder

706
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: whether or not the Eagles are you know, at a

707
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: point where they're there may be transitioning their backfield situation.

708
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Uh in Philadelphia. I mean, Jordan Howard looks like he's

709
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: not going away anytime soon. Sorry, I look at it.

710
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: If anything, Jordan and Howard is a is still a

711
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: very good goal on runner and we know that's where

712
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: you know you're running back could take a beating. If

713
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: they want to keep Miles Sanders healthy and upright, maybe

714
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: they just continue to use Jordan Howard near the goal line.

715
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: If that's the case, that is a nightmare for fantasy.

716
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, at some point then that that turns

717
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders into I don't even know what Devin Singletary.

718
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the first name that popped into my

719
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: head as well, Like like that's like, you know, nobody,

720
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: nobody really wants any part of that, especially not after

721
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: you spent maybe a third or fourth round pick on

722
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: a guy who knows um last one and includes a

723
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: guy from Buffalo as well as a guy from Carolina.

724
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: Dj Moore versus Stefon Diggs. Of these two wide receivers,

725
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: which one are you more concerned about? This is a

726
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: good comparison because it's two receivers getting you know, like

727
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: ten targets a week, but not a whole lot of production.

728
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about DJ More because Sam Donald has

729
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: looked very, very bad um and p J. Walker isn't

730
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: isn't great either. I have more faith than Digs because

731
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but I'm worried about both of them. Like

732
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: DJ Moore looked like a wide receiver one early on

733
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: and he's been anything but as of late. He gets

734
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: the volume, but he's not really doing a whole lot

735
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: with it. Stefon Diggs, on the other hand, will give

736
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: you like fourteen fifteen points a week, but he has

737
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: one game with over twenty one game with over ninety yards,

738
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: which those are numbers that he was giving us pretty

739
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: much weekly last year. So I'm worried about both of them.

740
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: More worried about More because of the quarterback play. But

741
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: neither one of these guys, I don't think you're living

742
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: up to the expectations that we had for them. They

743
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: definitely aren't. And I've gotten some tweets asking me what's

744
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: wrong with Stefon Diggs. I mean, I keep sort of

745
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: coming back to I don't know if it's anything wrong

746
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: specifically with Diggs as much as it is, the Bills

747
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: just have other places to go with the football. And

748
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: the reason I'm less worried about him and more worried

749
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: about DJ Moore is because I still believe the Bill's

750
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to have big weeks. You know, Yesterday

751
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: obviously was not a good day for them, But I

752
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: also see that it's being kind of just a hiccup, right.

753
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: It just one of those weeks where things didn't really

754
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: work out for them. But going forward, I do believe

755
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: this offense is going to write the ship. They're gonna

756
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: score points. I can't say that with the Panthers. Um,

757
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about how bad Sam Donald was.

758
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: The fact that we are, you know, openly talking about

759
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: should p J. Walker get the job? Um, you know,

760
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: not that he's any great shakes. Not that they're suddenly

761
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna start, you know, scoring thirty points a game with

762
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: p J. Walker there, That to me makes me more

763
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: concerned with d J Moore. The fact that they can't

764
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: really get anything else going in the passing game. I

765
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: do expect side note that they're gonna start really leaning

766
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: heavily on Christian McCaffrey once they feel like He's a

767
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent right because they just can't throw the football

768
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: and and DJ more we'll probably lead the team and

769
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: targets um, but they may not be quality targets and

770
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: that the production just just might not be there. Not

771
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: that we were hoping from the stick more this year

772
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: in the least bit. All right, time for another break.

773
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: When we come back, we will dive into the waiver

774
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: wire for week ten. We're into double digit weeks now, folks.

775
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Uh So we'll check out some of the name as

776
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: you need to be picking up on waivers this week,

777
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: and we returned on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's

778
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: take a look at the waiver wire targets four week,

779
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: Tin Florio, take us through who you got Carson Wentz

780
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: We we spoke about him earlier. He's just getting the

781
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: job done. He's got a good matchup next week. Trey Lance.

782
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: This was inspired by your tweet Markets, but I agree

783
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: the Niners. They're falling fast right now. Eventually I think

784
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: we see the switch to Lance. Matt Ryan's been playing

785
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: pretty good ball as of like, it's a good matchup

786
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: next week. Devin Singletary, he got more volume. Zach Moss

787
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: is dealing with a concussion. If Moss is out, I

788
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: think you could use Singletary next week. Kenyan Drake had

789
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: eight targets, so he's been getting more involved with more.

790
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Stevenson there lad the Patson receiving and rushing yards. Downte

791
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: Foreman didn't get a whole bunch of volume, but I

792
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: think he looked the best of the Titans backs on

793
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: the ground yesterday, and the heam hands back in our

794
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: fantasy life. Jordan's Howard there and DeVonta Freeman's who round out?

795
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: Uh the running backs. We've already spoke about those two guys,

796
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: and then some receivers and tight ends. Michael Gallup he

797
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: could be back next week. If he's been dropped in

798
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: your league, I say you go grab him. Elijah More

799
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: coming off a huge day. He's the wide receiver one

800
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: so far in Week nine. Rashad Bateman, I'm gonna keep

801
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: saying it until his roster percentage increases. He's been getting

802
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: consistent volume. Brandy Nayuk, He's back in our fantasy lives.

803
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: Marcus uh Van Jefferson is someone that I know that

804
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: both of us have been excited about. Donovan People's Jones

805
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: DPJ playing the new role of oh b J there

806
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Deshaun Jackson now with the Vegas Raiders. Uh.

807
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: And then some tight ends Tyler Conklin, Dan Arnold and

808
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman, both all three of them getting some more

809
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: consistent volume. Uh. And I think, you know, volume is

810
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: really all you need to be a tight end on

811
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: the waiver wire list heading into a to week end

812
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: right now pretty much if you you know, if you

813
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: can lace him up and run, you handle routes, YouTube

814
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: can be a waiver wire tight end. Uh. In fantasy

815
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: football this year, UM, gonna be interesting. Uh. Some definite

816
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: I think interesting names to pick up off the waiver wire.

817
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup coming back excites me because I have him

818
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: statched in multiple leagues and I'm just excited to you know,

819
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to at least consider him from my

820
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: lineup again in the near future. UM. A couple of

821
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: names of note there too, to kind of hit on.

822
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: The one Remandre Stephenson, and we have sort of gone

823
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: back and forth between he and Brandon Bolden for the

824
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: last few weeks. But I'm getting the sense that one

825
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: guy is starting to take over as producer. Justin said

826
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: to us, is it Stevenson seasonson. I said it right.

827
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna got it the banks.

828
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: I got it right. So that's the question though, is

829
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: it is it Remandre Stephenson seasonson now? I I hope.

830
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: So I can't say yes with confidence because the Patriots

831
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: have been using their backup running backs weird. I mean,

832
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: it was only two weeks ago that I came out

833
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, Brandon Bolden is the new James

834
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 1: White and it looked that way, but until yesterday again,

835
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: when they started to get Stevenson more involved. I think

836
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: this is something the Patriots have actually got wrong this year.

837
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: I think Stevenson is their most explosive runner outside of

838
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: maybe Damian Harris, but he's definitely more explosive than Brandon Bolden.

839
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: And this is an offense that is void of any explosiveness.

840
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: Like you have a bunch of possession receivers, you need

841
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: someone who could, you know, take a short pass and

842
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: break it like like we just see on the screen there,

843
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: and Stevenson can do that, So I would be grabbing

844
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: him off the waiver wire. I think he has a

845
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: lot of upside. I'm not sure you could trust him

846
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: just yet. But I think the upside if he starts

847
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: to get consistent volume, especially in the passing game, makes

848
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: him worth taking a flyer on right now. So we

849
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: were sort of saying, Brandon Bolden is James White two

850
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: point oh. The talk before the season is that Remandre

851
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: Stevenson was Lagarrant Blunt to point oh h. We'll see

852
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: who wins out here, but I'm with you. I think

853
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: he's the guy that has the greater upside. After all

854
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: these years, we sort of know who Brandon Bolden is.

855
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: Let's find out who Romandre Stevenson is. I think he's

856
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: a really nice compliment to Damien Harris in the backfield.

857
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: I would feel better with it. I just I think

858
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: he's sort of more of the future, especially for its

859
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: team that the Patriots aren't rebuilding. They're very much in

860
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: the race right now in the a f C East,

861
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: but maybe it's time to turn to some of the

862
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: younger guys and see what this unit has as a whole,

863
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: uh and kind of build for the future while you

864
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: also at the same time sort of play for now.

865
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: So we'll see if if this actually is Stevenson's time,

866
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: But it would be sort of nice to have a

867
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: little bit of that clarity, uh the other one, and

868
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned it Donovan people's jones. You know, I jokingly tweeted,

869
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: you know DPJ greater than oh b J. I don't

870
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that. It's just jokes people, It's Twitter, that's

871
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: what happens. Um. But he did step up and play

872
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: really well. It was a big win for the Browns

873
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So does this mean he's the answer? Should

874
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: we grab him and plug him in expecting to get

875
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: the production we were hoping from Odell Beckham. I'm not

876
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: ready to say he's the new Odell yet, but I

877
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: do think he's worthy of grabbing off the waiver wire.

878
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a little bit of a deeper wide

879
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: receiver target. I don't love that he saw just three

880
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: targets in this game, but it was game where the

881
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: Browns didn't really throw a whole lot they They're only

882
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: player with more than three targets was Jarvis Landry, who

883
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: had five. So DPJ played the second most snaps amongst

884
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: the receivers. I do think he is the new starter,

885
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: starting receiver opposite of Jarvis Landry. He's gonna get some

886
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: deep shots. Um. I just think the volume is gonna

887
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: make him a little bit and and the fact that

888
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is up and down week to week is

889
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: gonna make him a bit of a boom er bust

890
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: option each week. But he is definitely someone that if

891
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: from going a little bit deeper at receiver this week

892
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire that I'm interested in grabbing, I

893
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: would definitely add him, I think as a depth at

894
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: uh side. Note, when I was, you know, thinking about

895
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: the Browns game from yesterday, it made me think of

896
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you've seen this floating around

897
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: on social media, there was a graphic called the Baker

898
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: Mayfield cycle where it says, you know, play like crap

899
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, uh, which goes to

900
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: criticized by media, which goes to underdog mentality, which goes

901
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: to beat inferior opponent, which goes to call out doubters. Uh.

902
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: And then we start back over at play like crap again.

903
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: So I think we're at the you know, I guess

904
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: beat inferior opponent perhaps a moment right now after what

905
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday, and then that leads to call

906
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: out doubters, which then he neverly leads us back to

907
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: Baker playing like crap again. Um, the thing is, Baker

908
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: didn't even play good yesterday. The rest of the Browns

909
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: play like Baker didn't play bad. But the I mean

910
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: they had to pick six, they had Nick Chub had

911
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: a long touchdown run like like come on. But you

912
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: know it's like that's gonna be like, hey, maybe Baker

913
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: is ready to leave this team again and they're not,

914
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have distractions and blah blah blah.

915
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: And then you know, Baker will go out and throw

916
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: for like a buck eighty and like a touchdown with

917
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: two picks, and we'll be like, what's happening? So, because

918
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: that's just how it works, all right. Over to the

919
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: top targets though waiver wire wise four week ten h

920
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: If you have the top priority or if you're going

921
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: to you know, spend a chunk of your fab budget,

922
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: where is it going this week? For me, it would

923
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: be Michael Gallup. If he is available on your waiver

924
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: wire roster. He's available in about half a little bit

925
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: over half of NFL dot com leagues. I checked other sites.

926
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: He's still available in over half on them as well,

927
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: So he's widely available right now. Michael Gallup is kind

928
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: of a forgotten man markets because he played Week one,

929
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: he had the seven targets, but then he got hurt

930
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: and we haven't seen him since it's been two months now. Uh,

931
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: we kind of just picture, you know, Ceedee Lamb and

932
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: Marity Cooper. But Michael Gallup is still a strong downfield receiver.

933
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: He's a good contested catch option. I think he could

934
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: be a presence in the red zone on this high

935
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: powered Cowboys offense. I think you do have to monitor

936
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 1: the usage each week because they have legitimately four good

937
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: receivers if you count Dalton Schultz and then you add

938
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: zeke In out of the backfield, so a lot of

939
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: mouths there to feed. But I think Gallup is a

940
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: really talented player. If he's already roster though, then I

941
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: would pivot to Elijah Moore as my top pickup of

942
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: the week. Both those guys, uh well alizah More playing

943
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: really well the last couple of weeks. Michael Gallop a

944
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: guy that you know, we want parts of the Cowboys

945
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: passing game. Uh, and that's why I've always sort of

946
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: liked him and wanted to draft him. Hopefully he can

947
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: move past Cedric Wilson on the depth chart, and he's

948
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: not battling there for snaps and targets, but I think

949
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: he's a name that's worth adding. I'm gonna go with

950
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard just because he's rostered it only two point

951
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: two percent of NFL dot Com legs me thinks that

952
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: number is going to go up significantly after this week

953
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: because the guy has got three touchdowns in his last

954
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: two games, combined hundred and twenty eight rushing yards. In

955
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: those two games, he's combined for over thirty Fantasy points.

956
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is the dude has been a top twenty,

957
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: top twenty five running back the last couple of weeks

958
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: at a time of the year when we need running

959
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: back help. Mentioned earlier in the show that it looks

960
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: like his role in the offense may become more permanent.

961
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: So even when Miles Sanders is back, maybe they're using

962
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard down near the goal line and giving him

963
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: that touchdown upside. So, Uh, if you haven't already gotten

964
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: on the Jordan Howard hype train, this feels like the

965
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: time to do it, because, Uh, it's taking off and

966
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: there may not be too many more chances for you

967
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: to jump on there. Who would have thought in one

968
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Jordan Howard is a thing? Do

969
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: you think next week when everyone starts Jordan Howard, it's

970
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna be like Boston Scott going off and we're gonna

971
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: hit for the Eagles running back cycle. Oh yeah, no,

972
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 1: it'll be Boston. It'll be Boston Scott and Tinny Gainewell

973
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: next week like that will be it because everybody's gonna

974
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: be on Jordan Howard and then it's just not gonna

975
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: work out for us. That's what coaches due to us. Apparently,

976
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: uh Florio mentioned. The Waiver Wire column is already out

977
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: and you can go check that out at nfl dot

978
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: com slash waiver Wire fittingly enough so you can get

979
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: some names to make your claims and a little bit

980
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: of analysis to help you justify why you did what

981
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: you did. Let's wrap up the show with a little

982
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: Monday night football preview the Bears at the Steelers to

983
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: cap Week nine, and thank goodness, is good riddance to

984
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: a week that has been super frustrating and just about

985
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: every respect. So let's start with the bare side of

986
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: things that David Montgomery is expected to come back and play.

987
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: It seems like a pretty much a sure thing. So

988
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: welcome back, by the way, because I have been waiting

989
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: on him in a few leagues. But Khalil Herbert has

990
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: been playing well in Montgomery's absence, and the thing we

991
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: talked about was that it looked like Herbert could still

992
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 1: have a role in this offense even with Monty coming back.

993
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: Would you still take the chance, though, to start him

994
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: tonight against the Steelers with Montgomery expected to play. You

995
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: might not have a choice if you left him in

996
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: your starting lineup and hoping that like Monty wouldn't play.

997
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: But if you do have a choice, I think Monty

998
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: is the preferred play, and I would try to get

999
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: away from Herbert at least until we get some clarity

1000
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: of what his new role will look like in this offense.

1001
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: I I sort of agree with you there. I think

1002
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for him. I think he's uh, he's

1003
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: sort of primed to be the new Tarik Cohen for

1004
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: lack of a better description. But David Montgomery was playing

1005
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: really well before he got hurt, and I can't see

1006
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: the Bears just suddenly pivoting and and giving a ton

1007
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: of work to Khalil Herbert. So if you have the

1008
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: option to just sit and wait and watch, I would

1009
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: prefer to do that. But if you have David Montgomery, hey,

1010
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: full be ahead, because look you've been waiting on him

1011
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: and the guy has been playing well. So hopefully he

1012
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: gets back on track tonight. Last week, Justin Fields had

1013
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: his big breakout game that we were waiting for, twenty

1014
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: five points, including that really spectacular touchdown run against the

1015
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: forty niners. Can he get to twenty points this week

1016
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: against the Bears? Can he? Yes? Will he? I'm not

1017
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: confident projecting him as that because, like you said, it

1018
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: was all on that A lot of it was on

1019
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 1: that spectacular touchdown run he had. Is he gonna be

1020
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: able to pull something like this off weekly? I don't know.

1021
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the passing numbers yet in yards or touchdown,

1022
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: so until that becomes a little bit more consistent, I

1023
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: have trouble projecting him for over twenty. But it's definitely

1024
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: possible because of what he can do with his legs.

1025
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: I think if it happens, that's the way it happens.

1026
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: I don't imagine he's gonna throw the football effectively enough

1027
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: to get to twenty points alone, so maybe you are

1028
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of hoping for some rushing yards, maybe a a

1029
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. I don't expect a lot of points in

1030
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: this game, so I'm gonna I'm gonna put him, uh

1031
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: just short of twenty points this week, hopefully. Though last

1032
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: week sort of showed some things and maybe gave him

1033
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: some confidence, maybe gave the Bears coaches some confidence to

1034
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: to open up the playbook a little bit more. But

1035
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 1: twenty points seems like asking a lot this week against

1036
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Last one on the flip side, which Steelers

1037
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: would you be interested in starting tonight? I think Nagy

1038
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: Harris and Deontay Johnson you start each week, Especially Nagy Harris.

1039
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: You don't think twice about it. Outside of him, it's

1040
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: not a whole lot. Maybe Pat Fryarmouth, if you're a

1041
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: little bit deeper at tight end. I know he got

1042
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: volume last week. Chase Claypool. I still think it's a

1043
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: good flex option, but he's been so up and down.

1044
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: Outside of that, No one I like Big Ben is

1045
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: not even I don't even consider an option anymore in fantasy.

1046
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: So it's really just those two guys, and maybe if

1047
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: you're going a little deeper on Claypool or Frymouth. I

1048
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: would definitely go Harris and Johnson for sure. Um friar

1049
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: Muth I would art if you're in a deeper league

1050
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: and you need some tight and help, that might be

1051
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: it for me. I'm not sure, uh if I feel

1052
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: okay even starting Chase Claypool just because the inconsistency has

1053
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: been so drastic. And I'm with you on on on

1054
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,280
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. It has been terrible for him this year. Uh.

1055
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: He right now is the QB uh and he has

1056
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: only gotten you sixteen points once this year. Yeah, it's

1057
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: been pretty awful. Part of the reason Nagie Harris has

1058
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: been so good because they just can't throw the football. Uh.

1059
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: Ben can't throw the football, so they just either turn

1060
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: around and hand it off or they dump it off

1061
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: to Nagi Harris. Uh, and he's been pretty good. Um.

1062
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, uh predictions you think pick a winner

1063
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,479
Speaker 1: for this one tonight. I think the Steelers pull it off.

1064
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: I just trust they're like Naji Harris, Donte Johnson a

1065
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: little bit more than I chut fields in the Bears

1066
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: offense right now. But I think this is going to

1067
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: be a slob or knocker markets. It is going to

1068
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: be ugly football. I would agree with that part for sure.

1069
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: I do think the Steelers sort of get the edge

1070
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,240
