1
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, nam G. Marcus Grants,

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: still fully vaccinated and still try and like hell to

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: dodge variants like Neo in the Matrix who we had

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot to talk about. But as always, we

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: are joined by the specialists on the other side of

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: the glass. Hello specialists. There. We got producer Hytham back

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: in the main rire producer Justin is floating around in

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: there somewhere as well. Uh So, all of those folks

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: here to help us out. A cast of dozens that

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: puts on this show for us and joined here with

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Michael left Florio and um we are two of a

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: seems like you dwindling number of people associated with the

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: National Football League that have not tested positive for COVID recently. Yeah,

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: that number is definitely dwindling, and it's making it harder

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: and harder to set our lineups. I put it out

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter, like, if you have to buy in your

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: fantasy football league this year, it's probably more important than ever. Yeah. Absolutely,

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's going to win a playoff week with

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: like you know, Craig Reynolds or something like that in

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: their their spot. We got plenty, plenty, plenty to talk

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: about today. As Florial mentioned, it is fantasy playoff time.

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Should you automatically stick with big name players. That's a

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: question that we will ask. Plus we have some Week

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: fifteen sleepers, and we are going over every single game

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: on the slate. But let's get started, because there is

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of news. Let's get to these fantasy headlines,

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and let's start with as we were talking about a

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: ton of COVID issues around the NFL, the biggest one,

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: at least the most recent big one, I should say,

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: hitting on Wednesday. Let me just preface this by all

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of these things we want to talk about are valid

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: as of the time we are recording this show. Who

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen in the hours after we are

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: done here. But on Wednesday morning, the Browns placed six

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: players on the COVID list, including Baker Mayfield. Heavin head

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanki also tested positive, So it looks like

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: those two players are going to be unavailable. Actually also

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: mentioned that on Tuesday, the Browns placed eight players on

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen list, including Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper.

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: By the way, side note, the Browns play the Raiders

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: on Saturday on NFL Network. That game slated for four

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: thirty pm Eastern. As of now, there are no plans

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: to change the status of that game elsewhere. On Tuesday,

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: it was reported that sixty plus players had tested positive

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: for COVID nineteen. That was since Monday. That's when there

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: were also a slew of players. Twenty eight of the

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty nine players placed on the list tested positive for

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: the virus. That was on Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, the

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: Rams added nine players to the reserve COVID nineteen list,

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: including Odell Beckham Jr. Some of the other notable names

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 1: on the list Miles Gaskin, Savan Akhmed, Philip Lindsay, which

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: pretty much takes out the entire Dolphins backfield, Josh Gordon,

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: Darius Tony, Christian McCaffrey. I know he's on I R,

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: but he did test positive yet, Jamal Williams, Alexander Madison.

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm out of breath. Um. I guess the simple question

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: is how do we navigate this right now? It's very tough.

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think one thing I think is like,

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: if you have a player who's playing like Thursday night,

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: let's say, and a lot of studs are in that game,

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: so you're playing them. But like, let's say you have

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: like a Mike Williams, who you were on the fence about.

63
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: If he's playing on Thursday and he's good to go,

64
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: I think I would just start him in there then,

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: because you're guaranteed that he's going to play. Whereas right

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: now it feels like any player can can go at

67
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: any time, and I think you need to have your handcuffs,

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: like Dearness Johnson right now, a hundred percent should be

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: picked up in Miami. Go get Malcolm Brown or Duke Johnson.

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Like I know these are deep names that you don't

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: want to start, but you might be in a position

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: where they are your best options, so get them now.

73
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: That is sort of the problem right now, that we

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: are so uncertain about who's going to be available and

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: who's not. That makes it certainly hard to predict how

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: things are going to go. We're gonna do our best,

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: certainly over the next forty five minutes to an hour

78
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how things are gonna go, But

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: it really is gonna be catches, catch can and whoever

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: is healthy. Whoever is available, Uh, that player is gonna

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: be picked up and he's gonna be in in starting lineup.

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: So there are no clear, definitive answers. And anyone who

83
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: sits and tells you that they have a clear definitive

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: answer is not your friend, and they are lying to

85
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: you because that's just the way it is. Uh. So

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on it. Obviously, it's a thing

87
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: that's going to be reported on all week long, So

88
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: we'll do our best to try and keep you abreast

89
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: of all these different possibilities. But uh, it is. It

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: has been a rough couple of weeks. This week has

91
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: been easily the roughest in terms of positive COVID test

92
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: for the NFL since this whole thing began. And here

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: we're coming up on two full years of of COVID nineteen. Uh.

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Just when you think it might maybe there's a light

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: at the end of the tunnel, we get, we get

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: this comes right back again. So again we will well,

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: we'll try our best to kind of help you all

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: through it. We're all sort of going through this together.

99
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: We're all learning about a lot of this together. Uh.

100
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: And who knows the way things are going we may

101
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: have a you know, a breaking news pop up in

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: the middle of us recording this show right now. Other

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: issues that are not COVID related, more of the traditional

104
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: type injury news. Jim Hart or John Harbaugh should say

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: one of the hardballs. John Harbaugh says, uh. He plans

106
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson to start against the Packers. Jackson was

107
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: carded off with an ankle injury in the loss on

108
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: Sunday to the Browns now Florio. Obviously, a big part

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: of Lamar's game is being able to run. That seems

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: like it's harder to do on a bad ankle. On

111
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: top of it, he's facing a good Packers defense if

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: he does play. Can we feel confident starting him this week? Uh? Decent?

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: Like right now I have him as my QUB eleven. Uh,

114
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: And that was when I did my first go of rankings.

115
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna update it today and I'm thinking I'm gonna

116
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: lower him a little bit, like I have him just

117
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: ahead of Russell Wilson to a Kirk Cousins. I kind

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: of think I'm gonna slide him behind those names because

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: there's risk in one the re injury to the fact

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: that if he's not running that's a huge part of

121
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: his game, right they're taking away and then the Packers

122
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: are really tough defense as well on top of all

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: of that. So I think you could still ride with Lamar,

124
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: but it's definitely more risky this week than ever. Absolutely. Uh,

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. For the the Ravens.

126
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: They need to win. I mean, the the a f

127
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: C North is still very much up for grabs, but

128
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: nobody really is playing well, I would say in that division.

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: So for the Ravens getting a win is incredibly important.

130
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: But putting a hobbled Lamar Jackson on the field against

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: the Packers seems like a bad idea. But like I

132
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: I understand both sides of the story. If he's if

133
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: he's playing, it's hard to keep him on your bench

134
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy. I know that much. Uh. In Arizona, DeAndre

135
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: Hopkins is getting a second opinion on what's being called

136
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: a leg injury. No real further details beyond that. I

137
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: had an m R I earlier in the week. Now

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: getting a second opinion. Uh, look, right now, we have

139
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: no idea what's gonna happen with Nuke, if he's going

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: to play or not. He obviously has missed time earlier

141
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: in the year with other injuries. Should you have a

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: contingency plan ready for him, even if that is just

143
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: grabbing Christian Kirk or A J. Green, because I know

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people have dropped them because they've been

145
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: very up and down as of late. But DeAndre Hopkins

146
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: has been battling leg injuries basically since the midpoint. When

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: midway point of the season, he missed a couple of

148
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: games with that hamstring injury, and last week on Monday Night,

149
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: he was clearly hobbled by this, like he the game

150
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: on the line, he was on the sidelines, So to me,

151
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: that tells you a lot. And last week twelve targets

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: season high. Before that, they weren't really using him like

153
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: a traditional wide receiver one. So I think if he

154
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: plays and there's no reports of him being limited, you

155
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: probably still start de Hot, but you have to have

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: a contingenus contingency plan in place, and I wouldn't be

157
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: surprised if he plays, but it's very limited. The other

158
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: part of it is maybe they air on the side

159
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: of caution. They're playing the Lions this week, and I

160
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: know coaches will never tell you that they're looking ahead.

161
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: But I think privately they can look around and say,

162
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we can beat this Lions team without

163
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: having DeAndre Hopkins. They need to make sure he's ready

164
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. I wouldn't be completely surprised if they

165
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: decide to rest him. So, like like Florio said, have

166
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: a backup plan ready to go, whether it's another Cardinals receiver,

167
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: whether it's a receiver from another team, Just be prepared

168
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: in case he's not available. By the way, James Conner

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: is dealing with an ankle injury. He is also day today.

170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds was not activated off I our last week

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: could happen this week. So that's another thing that you

172
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: may have to plan for because on paper, great matchup

173
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: against some front defense. And and that's a good point

174
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: you said about looking ahead, because we've kind of seen

175
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: the Cardinals already do that this year. Like we kept

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: being like, they have to get Kyler Murray back, and

177
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: they just kept being like, Nope, We're gonna take a

178
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: long term approach here. So, uh, last bit of news here,

179
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: at least for us. Who knows more more may pop up,

180
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: but Michael Carter, who has been on injured reserve with

181
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: an ankle injury. Is expected to return for Week fifteen

182
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins, playing pretty well before the ankle injury.

183
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: So is it safe use him as a flex option?

184
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: I think so? Uh. He is the only jet that

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: I would be interested in using this week against Miami.

186
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: But he when he was healthy, he was getting enough

187
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: work and was looking pretty explosive that I I don't

188
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: love starting him as like a top twenty running back

189
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: or say, but if you're getting a little bit deeper

190
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: talking about a flex option, I think that's the right

191
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: spot for him. I think that's that's probably the ceiling

192
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: for him as a flex spot, especially if you're if

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: you're a playoff team, hopefully you have some deeper options

194
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: at running back. But yeah, yeah, who knows, considering considering

195
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: all we just talked about in the last couple of minutes,

196
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, maybe you don't all right, that

197
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: takes us to our three big questions for the week.

198
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Let's start with a handful of running backs that people

199
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: had expectations for that maybe have sort of underperformed throughout

200
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: the season. Yet, say Kwan Barkley, Rashant Penny, who doesn't

201
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: quite fit into that category but just popped up into

202
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: our lives. Miles Sanders and Antonio Gibson. If you were

203
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: to rank the four of them for this week, how

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: would you do it? With very little confidence, I would

205
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: put them in this order in Antonio Gibson, Sae Kwon Barkley,

206
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny and then Miles Sanders. And my thinking is,

207
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: all of these guys are very volatile. I'm gonna trust

208
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: the safer volume. And I know last week Gibson didn't

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: get a whole lot, but the two games prior to

210
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: that he was towards the top of the league and touches.

211
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley is gonna be getting used in the

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: passing game as well as we know he's the lead

213
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: ball carrier for the Giants. There. Penny, I know it's

214
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tough matchup, but he looked

215
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: really good the other day, looked explosive. And Miles Sanders,

216
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: I know he looked good last we saw him. But

217
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is back now, Boston, Scott Kenny Gainweller still there.

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: We don't have Sanders scoring a touchdown all years, So, uh,

219
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: it's all four of these guys, though, I feel like

220
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: this is a good grouping because they're all very volatile

221
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: RB two's. So my rankings for those four are pretty

222
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: much complete opposite weely. But I I also will throw

223
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: in the caveat that I have very little confidence in

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: how this is going to go. So I go Miles

225
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: Sanders UH number one, with Rashant Penny at two, Say

226
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: Kwan at three, Antonio Gibson at four. I I shuffled

227
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: these around quite a bit before I settled on this,

228
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: So I'll say that the one in four is because

229
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Washington is maybe as hard hit, maybe even harder hit

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: by COVID and injuries than anybody else, which I think

231
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: sort of impacts the game script. And so I think

232
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: maybe you see the Eagles run the football a lot,

233
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: which also, by contrast, means the football team might not

234
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: be able to run just because uh, you know, who

235
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: knows how they'll be able to move the ball. So

236
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: that that's why I put Gibson at four, Standers at one.

237
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Penny and Barkley UH really are interchangeable. I just think

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Rashan Penn is gonna get a ton of volume, and

239
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: after what we saw from se Kwon last week in

240
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: what was a great matchup on paper against the Chargers

241
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: that that made me hesitant. But uh, I mean, I

242
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: guess just gonna stand the reason. It sticks to the

243
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: point that all four of these guys are sort of

244
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: bunched together and there's no real clarity and what's gonna

245
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: happen here? Yeah, No, there's running back once you get

246
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: past like the top eighteen or so, it's just like

247
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of like struggling guys and good matchups

248
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: are guys who get volume but things are going wrong

249
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: for their team. Like, so there's a lot of question

250
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: marks around all of these players. But Marcus, did you

251
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: ever think we would get to the day where we're

252
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: talking Rashad Penny kon Barkley? I mean, what is going on?

253
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Say Kwon? Uh yeah, man, it's Meanwhile, all the Jonathan

254
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: Taylor managers are just sitting back and like you know,

255
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: they probably checked out on this portion of the show.

256
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: You guys, come on back now we're gonna we're gonna

257
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: talk about other things, not about you know, your luxury

258
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: at running back or anything like that. Um, this is

259
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: the next question should have Fantasy managers, now that we're

260
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, take the traditional stick with your studs approach.

261
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: And I asked that in terms of a handful of

262
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: guys that we consider to be studs that aren't playing well. Uh.

263
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: You know, a quarterback, You've got guys like Patrick Mahomes

264
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott. Uh. You know at running back, you

265
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: know we mentioned Sae Kwon Barkley, a guy like that.

266
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, these are guys that you know traditionally were

267
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: set it and forget it in your lineup. This year

268
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: they have not been that. But it's playoff time. Do

269
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: you go with that or do you do you risk

270
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: sitting them knowing that you know, a bad week send

271
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: you home. At this point. Typically, I am a a

272
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: stick with your studs type of player. I will say,

273
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: though it all, it all depends on your other option.

274
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Like if I have Dak and Taysom Hill, cool, I'm

275
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: okay going with Taysom Hill there. Or if I have

276
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Sae Quon and let's say I have one of the

277
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Broncos running backs, I'm okay taking a shot there on

278
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: those guys in a good matchup. But if we're talking

279
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: about like Romandre Stevenson is my my backup, no, I'm

280
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: gonna stick with my stud in Sa Kwon Barkley and

281
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: so that all is what it comes down to, Like,

282
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I need a backup that is not only playing well,

283
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: but it's getting consistent opportunity as well. I feel like

284
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: if I'm going to go with a backup in this situation, uh,

285
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: either it is somebody who's playing really well or just

286
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: has a matchup that is just undeniably good. Um. I

287
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a ton of those this week.

288
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: So I feel like, you know, this is a situation

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: where you are kind of starting some of your big names,

290
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: hoping for the ceiling play and hoping that they come

291
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: sort of back to where they have been. Um. But

292
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: it is a question that I know a lot of

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna deal with. We're gonna talk about some

294
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: of these guys you know that I'm thinking of later

295
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: on in the show. Uh, you know, guys like DK Metcalf,

296
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey will sort of dive into their situation a

297
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: little bit later on because it is a thing where

298
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, and it's questionable. Yeah, And there's different levels

299
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: of stud like like Julio Jones is a stud by name,

300
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: but he is he is not a like must start

301
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: your study every week kind of guy, but like a

302
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, that's a little different thing. Yeah, absolutely so,

303
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: which actually gets us to our third question. Who is

304
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: one player that you're worried about letting you down here

305
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: in the first week of the playoffs. Uh? You mentioned

306
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: him just a second ago, Travis Kelsey. Because he's not

307
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: try anymore. I'll tell you that much. I'm still definitely

308
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: starting Travis Kelsey. And this is one of those things, right,

309
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: Like Travis Kelsey on paper is a study. He's the

310
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: tight end two in the year on total points, tighten

311
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: form points per game. Again now what we paid for,

312
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: but still a tight end that you start. The Chargers

313
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: give up the six most fantasy points to tight ends.

314
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: He had a good game against this team previously, but

315
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: then the thing against him is like he's playing extremely

316
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: poorly as of late. And I mean his last two

317
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: games this single digit fantasy points with four targets last week.

318
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: That's not what you want to see. I'm still going

319
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: to be starting Travis Kelsey, but I will admit this

320
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: is in the last six years, this is the most

321
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: scared I've ever been about starting Travis Kelsey. I mean

322
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: a handful of games in a row with fewer than

323
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: ear least that I went to three games I know

324
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: with fewer than thirty yards receiving. He's got a handful

325
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: of games with fewer than sixty yards receiving. It. It

326
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: has not been what you were expecting when you you know,

327
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: like me, it's been their first round pick on Travis Kelsey.

328
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pivot though, to Nagi Harris as a guy

329
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: who really could potentially give you some problems this week.

330
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: They've got the Titans, who, as much as we've picked

331
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: on the Titans when it comes to the passing game,

332
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: they've been pretty good against running backs this year. And

333
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: I just I sort of look at that Steelers offense

334
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: and you know what we saw from them against Minnesota. Yes,

335
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: they came back late in that game, but for almost

336
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: three quarters that offense did absolutely nothing. And it worries

337
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: me that, you know, if they get in a situation

338
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: where they're falling behind, they have to throw the football.

339
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I know they can involve Naji Harris, but will they

340
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: so um, But this is a situation where he's been

341
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: so good this year that it's hard for me to

342
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: keep him on my bench. But I don't like the

343
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: matchup I don't like the way the Steelers are playing,

344
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: and if I'm starting him this week, I'm at least

345
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned about what the outcome could be

346
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: for him. I have a fantasy team with Travis Kelsey

347
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: and Naji Harris on it, so thank you. See, this

348
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: is why the by is important. This is why you

349
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: play all year to get that first week off time

350
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: for a quick break. But when we return, we'll dive

351
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: into our week fifteen game preview. Stay tuned for that

352
00:16:51,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. That gets us to

353
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: the start of our game. Previews will begin. I can

354
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: normally do with Thursday night football, huge game. It is

355
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Chargers. They're gonna play at just

356
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: on the other side of this wall over there at

357
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: so Fi Stadium. You can see that game, of course

358
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: on NFL Network, Fox and streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Uh,

359
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: so many big name players into this one. Where are

360
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: you focusing fantasy wise? I think you could start all

361
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: of your studs in this game, but let's specifically focus

362
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: on Clyde Edwards Hilaire who I mean, you could see

363
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: it right there on the screen. Start this guy like

364
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: a boss. I mean, when they played earlier this year.

365
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: C H had a pretty good game. He scored a touchdown,

366
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: He gave you seventeen fantasy points. The Chargers, though, they

367
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: give up the fifth most points to fantasy running backs

368
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: and the most rushing yards per games. So with Mahomes

369
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: not looking like Mahomes as of late, I wouldn't be

370
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: surprised if they try to get c H more involved.

371
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: Him score two touchdowns last week. But Arcus, what I

372
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: love is when these two teams played earlier this year,

373
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: it would a score fest and a concentrated score fest.

374
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Like every fantasy player that we wanted to to do

375
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: well did well in this game. So I think you

376
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: start everyone on both sides of the ball here. Yeah,

377
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: last you know, last week the Chiefs had a score fest,

378
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: but it didn't involve any of the players that you

379
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: really wanted, you know, no Tyreek Hill in the end zone,

380
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey didn't really play particularly well. I mean, I

381
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: guess if you started c H, you were fine, but

382
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot of the players that that you

383
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: were anticipating. There um a couple of Saturday games and

384
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: you can see them exclusively on NFL Network, the first

385
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: one being the Raiders and the Browns. As I mentioned earlier,

386
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: that game set to kick off at four thirty Eastern

387
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. Now you know, in full disclosure, I

388
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: originally said that the Donovan People's Jones was going to

389
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: be a sleeper in this game. But then you know,

390
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: most of the Browns seemed to have tested positive for COVID,

391
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: which completely changes. So we're gonna pivots to starting Josh Jacobs,

392
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: and it looks like he has really become the running

393
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: back there for the Las Vegas Raiders. We know what

394
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: he can do as a runner. That part has never

395
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: really been up for debate with Josh Jacobs. What had

396
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: previously been up for debate is whether or not they

397
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: were gonna use him in the passing game, and it

398
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: seems like they are. Even before Kenyan Drake went on

399
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: injured reserve, Jacobs was starting to see more targets. He

400
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: had a game a couple weeks ago where he had

401
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: nine targets caught all nine of them. This is the

402
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: thing we knew he could do coming out of Alabama,

403
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: and just the Raiders were using him that way. Now

404
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: they are, uh, and I think with so many other

405
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: questions in the offense. We know that Hunter renfro is

406
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna get targets. We'll see if Darren Waller is available

407
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: for this week. But Josh Jacobs is a part of

408
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: the passing game now, which is all we ever wanted.

409
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: And I think that makes him a pretty safe start

410
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: for the Races. Yeah. I think that makes him an

411
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: RB one. Like that's all he needed. Yeah, it's all

412
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: he was missing. So Uh, the other game on NFL

413
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: Network on Saturday is the Patriots and the Colts. That

414
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: one set for eight fifteen Eastern. And how are you

415
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: feeling about this one? Uh? Not great? And I know

416
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying are worried about Jonathan

417
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Taylor because they're like Bill Belichick likes to take away

418
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: the team opposing team's best weapon, and that that is true.

419
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: But I still think Jonathan Taylor is so good that

420
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: he's still m RB one ranked. So I'm gonna get

421
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: away from him and say, be aware of the other

422
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: good player on the Colts, Michael Pittman Jr. Because the

423
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: Patriots secondary has really been the strength of this defense

424
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: this year. They're allowing the fourth fews fantasy points to receivers. Uh,

425
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: and Michael Pittman Jr. Hasn't been playing great as of late.

426
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: You see there no touchdowns, the volume has been inconsistent

427
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: for him. So I have him in a couple of

428
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: spots and I'm sitting him this week where it's like

429
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is I must start every week. So so

430
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: don't be worried about him, but you should be worried

431
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: about Wentz and Pittman Jr. I think I think with

432
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: with Pittman, and I saw some folks discussing this on

433
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: Twitter this morning, that you're really sort of hoping that

434
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: even if he has minimal targets, that he hits a

435
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: couple of big plays in there. I think that's the

436
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: thing that you're really gonna look out for. But yeah,

437
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, Jonathan Taylor is gonna get volume. Even if

438
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick tries to scheme him out of the game. Uh,

439
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: the coult are gonna figure out a way to kind

440
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: of get him involved. So that's that's one less worry

441
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: I think you have in that matchup Packers and the Ravens.

442
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: We talked at the top of the show about Lamar

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: Jackson dealing with that ankle injury and kind of keeping

444
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: an eye on his status. Beyond that, what should people

445
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: pay attention to. I would be worried about Marquis Brown

446
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: right now. One. Markis Brown hasn't been great as of late.

447
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean early on he was putting up wide receiver

448
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: one numbers, but the last five weeks two games over

449
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: the last month, two games and over double digits, but

450
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: all thirteen or less, So you're not really getting what

451
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: you wanted there. The volume has been down the last

452
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: two games, and if lamar ms his time, Huntley has

453
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: thrown passes to four more players, then he has to

454
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown. Markets Brown has only seen nine targets from

455
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Huntley this year. That ranks fifth, whereas like Mark Andrews

456
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: is at nineteen, Bateman's at fourteen. So Huntley clearly has

457
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: rapport with other players. It's just another layer of something

458
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: to worry about from markets Brown. I have him as

459
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: like a low end wide receiver two this week if

460
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: if Tyler Huntley is starting at quarterback, I kind of

461
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: like Rashod Bateman as a sleeper this week against Green

462
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Bay elsewhere the Titans and the Steelers. I talked about

463
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: my concern for Nagi Harris in this one, but I

464
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: will say a deep sleeper is Deonta Foreman, and maybe

465
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: he elevates himself to just regular sleeper considering the number

466
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: of players who made miss time uh this week. Uh,

467
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: the wheel of Titans running backs post Derrick Henry has been,

468
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, kind of slowly turning. We went from Foreman

469
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: to Hilliard. Jeremy mc McNichols has been in there somewhere,

470
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: but there was an Adrian Peterson week if I remember

471
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: somewhere along the line. Uh, And now I think we're

472
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: back to Deonta Foreman. This is sort of game script dependent.

473
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: If for whatever reason, the Steelers jump out to a

474
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: lead and the Titans have to play from behind, then

475
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: maybe we see more Hilliard, more McNichols. But as long

476
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: as the Titans keep control of this game, I think

477
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: they can use Deonta Foreman as kind of a battering ram,

478
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: use him to grind some clock and maybe he finds

479
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: the end zone in this one as well. Uh. Falcons

480
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: at the forty Niners, which, weirdly, both of these teams

481
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: very much in playoff contention. The Niners right now sitting

482
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: at the sixth seed, but the Falcons kind of hanging

483
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: around here, which I never really thought I would say,

484
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: but for fantasy what what should we pay attention to?

485
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: I think you should start whichever running back starts for

486
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: the fort I'm hoping that it's Elijah Mitchell because I

487
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: have him in some spots. But even if not, we've

488
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: seen Jeff Wilson continue to get big volume when Mitchell sits,

489
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: and it's just a great matchup that Falcons have struggled

490
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: against running backs there in the top ten in UH

491
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: in total Fantasy points allowed. They allow a good amount

492
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: of touchdowns to the position, and we know the forty

493
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna run the ball. You want a part

494
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: of that Kyle Shanahan run offense. Hopefully it's Elijah Mitchell,

495
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: but if not, I still think Jeff Wilson's in plays

496
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: an RB two. I definitely think Wilson was a guy

497
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: to pick up off waivers this week, just because you know,

498
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: you don't know what the situation is going to be. UH.

499
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: The problem is if Mitchell is back, Wilson kind of

500
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: fades because Deepo Samuels gonna take those other cherries. He's weird,

501
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: it's weird. He's like the RB two that I don't know.

502
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. Whatever um the football team,

503
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: that being the Washington football team taking on the Philadelphia

504
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: Eagles first of two meetings in the next three weeks,

505
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: and they played this week and they play again in

506
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: weeks seventeen, because the schedule was weird and a really

507
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: concentrated a lot of division games late in the season.

508
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned, the Washington football team, dealing with

509
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: so many missing players, saw a tweet earlier on Wednesday

510
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: morning that said, between injured reserve and the COVID nineteen

511
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: reserve list, thirty players from Washington are on one of

512
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: those two lists. Remember, you have a fifty three man

513
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: active roster, so that says quite a lot right now.

514
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: But I will tell you there is one w f

515
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: T player that at least for now, it's startable, and

516
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: that's Ricky Seals Jones. Uh. The the Washington offense really

517
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: has utilized its tight ends pretty heavily, partially because they

518
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: just can't find any pass catchers beyond Terry McLaurin in

519
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: this offense. Now, McLaurin was in Cushing protocol earlier in

520
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: the week, so that's a thing the monitor as well.

521
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: But R. S J has been playing well, getting more

522
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: opportunities On top of it, the Eagles continue to be

523
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: awful against the tight end position. Doesn't really matter who

524
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: it is, they just seem to have tight end blindness.

525
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: So if you're streaming the position, which I'm sure there

526
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: are a few playoff teams that are doing that, Ricky

527
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: Steels Jones really has I'm not gonna say he's a

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: playoff winner, a league winner, but he's in really good

529
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: position in the next couple of weeks to do that.

530
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: And if he plays well this week, you just hold

531
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: him because again, like you said, two weeks from now

532
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: they play again. So there you go. You got your

533
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: streaming optionority on your ros already got that locked up

534
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of the playoffs. All right, We've got

535
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: doing some starts and sits here, but we also have

536
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: the start them sit him show. For those of you

537
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: who really want that championship shrow for you get Adam

538
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: Rank and a monitor. You get Michael left Florio shooting

539

Speaker 1: money guns, Jimmy Checks dancing. Uh, it's a whole thing,

540
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: and it's every Thursday. You can see that streaming at

541
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern in the NFL Fantasy App, nfl app,

542
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: nfl dot Com, or YouTube. Cha I I say this

543
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: as though you haven't heard me say it every week,

544
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: you probably know that by now. Uh. And for those

545
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: of you who have a life and can't be near

546
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: a device at the four pm Eastern, it's on demand,

547
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: so you can catch it whenever life allows. All right,

548
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks, it's been a struggle for DK Metcalf

549
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: and a lot of the Seahawks offense. So can we

550
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: trust d K against the Rams in Week fifteen? Dive

551
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: into that after the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

552
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Seahawks and the Rams. Specifically,

553
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: let's talk about DK Metcalf. Uh. You know, it has

554
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: not been a great stretch for DK this season. It's

555
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: been kind of an up and down year, but especially

556
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, and not particularly great. But obviously

557
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: this is a big time of the year for fantasy managers.

558
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Big game for both the Seahawks and the Rams coming

559
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: up this week, maybe more for Seattle than it is

560
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: for Los Angeles. Uh. Likely a matchup between DK Metcalf

561
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: and Jay and Ramsey. Do you still trust him this

562
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: week against the Rams? I do? I do? I would

563
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: be starting DK Metcalf. Look in the last two seasons.

564
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: These teams have matched up four times, already once in

565
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Last year, DK struggled. That first game, he

566
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: gave us less than five Fantasy points. The next one

567
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: he gave us twelve. The last two he's given us

568
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty six point six and twenty six point eight. His

569
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: best game of the year this year came against the Rams,

570
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: and look, I understand he's been struggling as of late,

571
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: still getting eight targets. Is at least eight targets and

572
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: four of his last five games. I will take eight

573
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: targets from DK Metcalf over most players in the in

574
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: fantasy football. So yeah, if you pick someone up off

575
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: waivers and you're debating like Monro's st Brown vers, it's

576
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: a no contest to me, Like give me Dk Metcalf.

577
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: I could live with him struggling in my starting lineup.

578
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: I would hate myself if I benched him and he

579
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: went off. I mean again, it's one of those things

580
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: where the ceiling is so high. DK is doing his thing.

581
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: You know what kind of numbers he can put up, uh,

582
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: and the other part of it, it doesn't take a

583
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: ton for him to put up a big number. I mean,

584
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: he can you know, take a short pass, break a tackle,

585
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: or he could take a deep throw end up in

586
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: the end zone. So I understand the fear. Plus as

587
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: we were talking about before the show, Um, he has

588
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: he has burned Jalen Ramsey in the past. He's had

589
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: good games against Ramsey. So maybe that isn't the fear

590
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: that we think it is. Uh So I get the

591
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: I get the concern, but I still think I'm starting

592
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: in there. I treat him like Jamaar Chase, like the

593
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: upside is so high that I'm starting every week because

594
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: he could just win me a week single handedly, absolutely elsewhere.

595
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: The next one up, we talked about the Cowboys and

596
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: the Giants Easy Kill Elliott, who has been really banged

597
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: up over the last few weeks. There's been talking about

598
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: whether or not the Cowboys should maybe feature Tony Pollard

599
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Uh He's got on paper a

600
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: decent matchup against the Giants this week. Do you consider

601
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: him to be an RB one in week fifteen? I

602
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: do not. I have him outside the top twelve. I

603
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: actually right now I have him at eighteen, but I'm

604
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna be reshuffling rankings a little bit this morning. But

605
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in that fifteen through eighteen range, the

606
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: top twenties. Someone you could still start, but not a

607
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: must start anymore, I don't think, and not in RB one.

608
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: So no, yeah, over the last four weeks he is

609
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the RB sixteen. I mean, part of it is that

610
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: they have been using Pollard and using him effectively. Part

611
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: of it is that he has been less than a

612
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I mean, there was that talk not that

613
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: long ago that maybe they were going to limit his workload,

614
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: maybe they would give him some time off. That hasn't happened.

615
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: But you can also watch Ezekiel Elliott run and you

616
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: can tell that he's not a hundred percent. So the

617
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys still trying to have him gut it out. I'm

618
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: sure he still wants to grind it out, but you know,

619
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: the production has suffered because of that, and so I

620
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: think that's something to take into account. But again, chances

621
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: are you don't have another better option. At least you

622
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 1: don't have two better options, I would think. So you're

623
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna play Ze against the Giants this week? Tell me

624
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: back into our game previews. Now we will go with

625
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals the Broncos again, two teams, right, now just

626
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, but still very much in

627
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: the playoff race. What are you doing here? I'm gonna

628
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: bench all the Denver Broncos pass catchers, like the only

629
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: players from Denver that I want to start in fantasy.

630
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: Are there two running backs? Because one that's what they

631
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: try to do. They try to establish the run. They

632
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: throw a bunch to their running backs as an extension

633
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: of the running game, and we're just seeing it Like

634
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Cortland Sutton gives you literally no floor and very little upside.

635
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: Ever since Jerry Judy's return, no offense is so inconsistent.

636
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: Like these guys median game is like nine Fantasy points.

637
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they're upside is like in the teens, Like to me,

638
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: their floor is so low, their ceiling is not high enough.

639
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: Like just just get away from them now that we're

640
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy playoffs. Is Jimmy Judy. I'm not gonna

641
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: say he was a bust this year, but he's definitely

642
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: a disappointment this one. Yeah, And I will say I

643
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: don't think it has anything to do with with Jerry Judy,

644
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: Like I still believe Jerry Judy is a really, really

645
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: talented wide receiver. It's just This offense isn't built to

646
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: be a high powered passing offense. So next year, though,

647
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: when they have Aaron Rodgers, it will be a lot better. Yeah,

648
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: it'll be so much better next year. The Panthers at

649
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: the Bills Buffalo, trying to shake off a couple of

650
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: really tough losses. Over the last couple of weeks, the

651
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Panthers kind of a disarray. We've seen Cam Newton get

652
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: pulled for p J. Walker. Now there's talk that Sam

653
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: Donald could be back and starting again. I will say

654
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: this though, Uh, you can sit Cam Newton regardless of

655
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is going to be. Maybe it's gonna

656
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: be Sam Donald, maybe it'll be Cam Newton, maybe it'll

657
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: be p J. Walker. Just just save yourself the headache, though,

658
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: and just take Cam off the list. Uh. And I

659
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: say this this comes from a place of hurt for

660
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: me because I wanted to see him come back and

661
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: have success. I wanted to see him. Look, I didn't

662
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be the same Cam Newton that was

663
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: an m v P and led the Panthers to the

664
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I did think he could come back,

665
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: uh and be competitive and put up some decent numbers.

666
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: And it hasn't happened. It hasn't happened in good matchups,

667
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: and this is definitely not a good matchup for guardless

668
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: of what's happened to the Bills in the wind lost

669
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: column the last few weeks, this is still a defense.

670
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: It gives quarterbacks issues. So I'm saying that Cam Newton,

671
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: but that can apply to anybody who's under center for

672
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers and and honestly Florida, I feel like it

673
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: extends just a lot of their skill position guys this

674
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: week too. I mean, with quarterback uncertainty, that means it's

675
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: tough for d J. Moore, for any of the running backs.

676
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: Just it's just not a good situation. They are one

677
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: of I was just thinking about it in my head,

678
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: like there's four teams that I would two exceptions maybe,

679
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: but like the Panthers, Texans, Jaguars, Jets, with the exceptions

680
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: being Robinson and Michael Carter maybe, Like I want none

681
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: of those players at all on my fantasy starting to

682
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: line up like the Panthers are. It's just gross, right,

683
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: just really this thing was sort of four now. I

684
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: think something like that. Sam Donald was in the conversation

685
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: for Comeback players, and he was, like I remem with

686
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: the first three or four weeks, he was leading the

687
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: league in rushing touchdowns and then it's all falling apart.

688
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: So all right, Jets and the Dolphins speaking of the

689
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: New York Getropolitans, Uh, they they are who they are?

690
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: The Dolphins still kind of hanging around in the postseason race.

691
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: What's happening here? Start all Jets. No, I'm just kidding.

692
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Start your Dolphins running back though, because in this game,

693
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of straightforward. You know, too is

694
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: a good streaming option, you know, to start Jalen Waddle.

695
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: But then it's like what else do we do? And

696
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: the Jets struggle mightily against the run. They give up

697
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: by far the most fantasy points, the most yards, the

698
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: most touchdowns, and they're up there in most catches allowed

699
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: as well. The only reason I say start your Dolphins

700
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: running back is because Miles Gaskin, Philip Lindsay, Savan Akhmed

701
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: or all on COVID i R. But Malcolm Brown is

702
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: eligible to return from the regular i R this week,

703
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: So if he returns, I think he is a good

704
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: streaming option. And if he doesn't, Duke Johnson's on the

705
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: practice squad like it's twenty fifteen, where you get Duke

706
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: Johnson back in her fantasy lives. I think whichever Dolphins

707
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: running back is the starter this week is one that

708
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: you could stream in fantasy. This makes me flashback to

709
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: a few years ago when it was right around this

710
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: time of year I had to pick up and start

711
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: Trick Layard because injuries and what have you, and like

712
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: he had a good matchup on paper, I don't. I

713
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: don't remember him had. That was the year Fitzpatrick led

714
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: them in rushing yards. That's exactly. That was exactly the

715
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: year I started Patrick Laird. It did not go well.

716
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: That's all I know. More game previews for you will

717
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: start with the Cardinals and the Lions. One of those

718
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: teams is really really good. The other one is really

719
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 1: really not. I will say though, that you are going

720
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: to start James Conner. We mentioned at the top of

721
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: the show. He is dealing with an ankle injury that

722
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: has him listed as day to day, but if he

723
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: is good to go for Arizona, he should absolutely be

724
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: in your lineup. We'll also see if Chase Edmonds is

725
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: activated if he returns this week, but even still the

726
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: way Connor is playing right now. You just can't take

727
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: him off the field that much. If you're Cliff Kingsbury.

728
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: He's out here making one handed catches and all kinds

729
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, he's doing ridiculous things. He's playing

730
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: incredibly well, uh for the Cardinals. So if he's in

731
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: the lineup for Arizona his ankle is good enough, then

732
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: he should be in your lineup. Um. I mean also

733
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: about one of the big surprises of the fantasy year.

734
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just just him being so good has been amazing.

735
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: I think he deserves like Fantasy m v P consideration.

736
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: He's been that good for where he went in there,

737
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: Like he might be a better pass catcher than Chase

738
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: Edmonds at this point. I mean, it's wild that we're

739
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: talking about him being great, talking about Cordarrell Patterson being

740
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: great all year long. People, Samuel has become one of

741
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: the best next, right, I mean, just guys that you know,

742
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: you just weren't really thinking about on that level, uh

743
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: this year, who have played some really really good football, uh,

744
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Jaguars because the schedule makers said so. Uh.

745
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: In theory, one of these teams is gonna get their

746
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: third win but in reality, there's a very good chance

747
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: they tie in zero zero, right, it could be and

748
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like two eleven and one. Which uh so,

749
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: because we're talking about every game, we're talking about fantasy.

750
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: What are we talking about here? I think you should

751
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: still be starting, James Robbins. Is this for us? Is

752
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: this for Urban Meyer? This is for us? Like I know,

753
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Fantasy managers out there who are concerned,

754
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: And look, I don't have an answer for the usage

755
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: he's gotten. The last two games combined, he has less

756
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: than forty total yards and less than three total Fantasy points.

757
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: It's not his fault though we know James Robinson is

758
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: very good. We know that when he gets volume, he

759
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: gives us good Fantasy days. But the thing I'll say

760
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: too is like those last two games, they lost by

761
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: a combined score of fifty seven to seven. So yeah,

762
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be the case this week against the Texans.

763
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: I expect a competitive game, and naturally, I think that

764
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: leads to James Robinson getting more volume. And if he's

765
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: getting good volume in this matchup, I think he could

766
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: still have a good Fantasy day. So I don't have

767
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: him ranked as highly as normal. But I still think

768
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: you start him. I just you know, I just want

769
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: good things for James Robinson. And I don't know what

770
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: he has done to deserve this. I think he's done

771
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: anything to deserve this, but he deserves more place. I

772
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: don't know what Jacksonville has done to desk. I don't know.

773
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: Like those fans are loyal, they're they're they're good, hard

774
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: working fans. They like, they love their team. They do

775
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: deserve better than this. London's team there, London's team right

776
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: there there are there's a team in two markets like

777
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: they deserve better than this. Help us out shot con

778
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: please all right, Sunday Night football. The Saints and the Buccaneers.

779
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: This probably looked a lot better on paper when they

780
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: put it together, and then it does now. They were here,

781
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: uh in week fifteen. But I will say, I think

782
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: you can start Taysom Hill. Uh not because Taysom Hill

783
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: is some amazing passer who's going to light it up

784
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: through the air and spread it around. Fact, I wouldn't

785
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: start any Saints pass catchers at all, but I'm doing

786
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: it because of what you're seeing here on the screen,

787
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: him running the football, The fact that he can get

788
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: out of the pocket that he basically is the second

789
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: running back or maybe the first running back depending on

790
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: how you view album Camara here whatever, he's going to

791
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: run the football, especially to get close to the goal line. Uh,

792
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: then I think, you know, he has a chance to

793
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: run it in and maybe he'll give you about a

794
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty passing yards off things go well. So

795
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: we talked about you know guys who are struggling, you know,

796
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott's of the world. Uh, you know, maybe

797
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson, depending on how you feel about him.

798
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: There are a handful of guys I think I would

799
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: play taste them ahead of So he's definitely in the

800
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: mix for starting consideration this week. Completely agree, and I

801
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: think it only gives me confidence that last week we

802
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: just saw Josh Allen run for over a hundred yards

803
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: against this same Bucks defense. They were I think we're

804
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of hill like dropping back like

805
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: one and it works. It works. That is pretty much

806
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: the entirety of the Saints playbook right now. Alright, we're

807
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: closed this out with Monday Night football, the Vikings and

808
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: the Bears. What's happening here? I think Justin Fields is

809
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: a streamable option this week if you've been streaming quarterbacks,

810
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: so he looks good on Sunday Night, besides the three

811
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: turnovers in a tough matchup against the Packers defense, and

812
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: in his last three full games he's topped eighteen fantasy points.

813
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: And then this is the Vikings. I mean, they give

814
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: up the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks, and just

815
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: last week they let big Ben big Ben towards them

816
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: for a bunch of fantasy points. So I think Justin

817
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: Fields could get the job done. I mean even last

818
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: week against the Packers when Fields had an up and

819
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: down game, I mean you had a couple and nice

820
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: big plays also through a couple of picks, still finished

821
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: with eight teen fantasy points, which is not terrible. So

822
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm on board with us too. I think you can

823
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: start Justin Fields depending on your situation. As we close

824
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: this thing out, we'll give you some sleepers for the week.

825
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 1: Who is your first one? My first one is Jimmy

826
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: G who's been playing good football as of late, and

827
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: I specifically love his matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who

828
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: give up the second most fantasy points per game two quarterbacks.

829
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: But again, you see there two passing touchdowns in five

830
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: of his last six games. He's just been playing better

831
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: than we anticipated, better than he gets credit for. I

832
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: don't think he is like a high ceiling type of quarterback,

833
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: but if you've been streaming, I think he can get

834
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: you like eighteen to tony fantasy points. You know, I

835
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: I really toyed with the idea. I didn't put him

836
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: in the sleeper's column this week, but I really did

837
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: take a good long look at it because the matchup

838
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: is good and as you said, he's he's playing pretty well,

839
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: uh so far over the last few weeks. Uh you know.

840
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: I I know that with my friends who are forty

841
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: Niners fans, they were, you're very nervous of on him

842
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: in overtime last week, but he got it done and

843
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: he got he got the Niners to win over the Bengals.

844
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to a tongue of Violoa who he's

845
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: been pretty much a matchup based starter most of the

846
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: year for the Dolphins, but play the Jets, so the

847
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: matchup is good. I think this is a situation where again,

848
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: if you are streaming to Ah, you're playing him, and

849
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: say a second quarterback in a two quarterback league. You know,

850
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: if you can get eighteen to twenty points out of him,

851
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: you should be over the moon. And I think that's

852
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: what he can do against the Jets. As much as

853
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: people seem to talk down on him and try to

854
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: pick him apart, he's played pretty well this year and

855
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: I'm I've been just excited to kind of see his

856
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: development because I don't really understand the hate for to

857
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: H and I think this is another week where he

858
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: can step up and maybe throw a touchdown pass or

859
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: two and end up with a pretty good fantasy number completely.

860
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: We we're talking about some streaming quarterback options. He's my favorite,

861
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: like ahead of Fields and Jimmy g Yeah, who I

862
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: think is in a good spot this week. Another sleeper

863
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: for me if you don't mind your boy here. He's

864
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: getting it done as of late, twelve targets in two

865
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: straight games and it's led to fifteen fantasy points and

866
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: almost twenty five fantasy points in the game before that,

867
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: and last week would have been a bigger literally the

868
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: play that they had the game winning touchdown on two

869
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago. They ran again in the end zone last

870
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: week and the monros st Brown dropped it, but he's

871
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: getting more looks in the end zone and in the

872
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: red zone that targets have been up. And this is

873
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: a lines team that, let's face it. I mean, they're

874
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: clearly going to be throwing in this game against the Cardinals,

875
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: So I think it leads to good volume for Monro's

876
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: st Brown. They're getting the rookie involved and he is

877
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: making the most of it. I mean, it only took

878
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, two and a half months, but he is

879
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: turning into the receiver I thought he could be in

880
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: the preseason. It looked like this was gonna happen all

881
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: year long. It didn't, so I'm pleased to you know,

882
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes you know you're delayed in being right, but

883
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: it still makes you feel good that that you were

884
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: right about something. I'm gonna finish this off with Tyler Higbee,

885
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: who is fresh off the COVID nineteen list. Didn't play

886
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: uh in the Monday night game against the Cardinals, but

887
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: looks to be available for this week's game against Seattle.

888
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: And while we've talked about defenses that are bad against

889
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: tight ends, I don't think we've talked as much about

890
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. He's generally been bad defensively, against nearly every position,

891
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: but the tight end position is one as well. Matthew

892
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: Stafford throwing the ball very very well recently, spreading it around,

893
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: and I think Tyler Higbee can get some looks if

894
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: no other reason, just down near the end zone, maybe

895
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: get in the painted area a couple of times, that

896
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. Um. But again, if you're streaming tight ends,

897
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: this is a Tyler Higbee week. I know a lot

898
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: of people were sort of distraught last week because they

899
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: were starting Tyler Higbee trying to get into the playoffs,

900
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: and then he tested positive for COVID late in the

901
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: week and left a lot of people scrambling. If you

902
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: somehow survived that, congratulations, Uh. Tyler Higbee may be available

903
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: for you coming up this this weekend if you want

904
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: more sleepers though, as I mentioned, I do write a

905
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: weekly sleeper's called them. I hope you know that. Because

906
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: it's week fifteen and we talked about this every single week.

907
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: You can check it out at NFL dot com slash Sleepers,

908
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: And if you want more fantasy goodness or plenty of options,

909
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: including Sunday Fantasy Game Day, you can find that streaming

910
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: in all the local normal spots. It starts at noon eastern. Uh,

911
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: it's Florio, it is can be checks. I think this

912
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: week it's Adam Rank. I don't think there's any money guns,

913
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: but there's some ridiculousness and you should check that out.

914
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 1: It's a whole lot of fun. Uh. You can find

915
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: it streaming. Like I said, at noon eastern. Uh. So

916
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: we made it through the show and I didn't see

917
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: any reports of anyone else testing positive for COVID. So

918
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: can't wait till we sign off and dirty players go
