17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I know you like to try different restaurants. I saw

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: news some sad news this morning that I guess, uh,

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the Jerry's famous Delhi and studio city that's been there

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: for forty plus years is shutting down. I don't know

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: if you ever had a chance to eat any of

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the Jerry's or the one at Studio City specifically, No

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: I have, and I, um, yeah, you are correct, My

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: I do enjoy food here. I'm I have, Like I know,

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: if it's fortunate or unfortunate that my my girlfriend works

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: respectrum and has like a food segment. So like last

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: night she went to a Polish place Solidarity over in

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: the West Side, think of Santa Monica, and just brings

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: back like trays of Polish food. It's like I'm trying

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: to be somewhat healthy during quarantine and just gets thro

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: ount the window when I'm just getting all this food

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: thrown to me. But but yeah, I have not tried

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: that place yet. I live close to Canner's Delhi, which

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: is like one of my favorites in Los Angeles. I mean,

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: there's just so many good spots to eat here. Um,

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel like at a loss leaving New York

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: coming here because there's so many great places. But but yeah,

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I am. I'm always open to trying to

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: trying new stuff. You know. Cancers is one of my

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: favorite places in l A two And I love the

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: fact that I think in the final season of Madmen,

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Don Draper goes to l A and that he has

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: like a lunch or dinner meeting at Cancers. And I

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: love the fact that Cancers still looks the same now

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: as it probably did in like the mid to late sixties,

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think they had to address the place

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: up at all for him to be there. Canner's is awesome,

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of places in LA have this as well,

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: with the history of like oh, which famous celebrity from

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: years past sat there or did whatever there? But like

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Canada's besides the Comedy Store, all the all the old

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: comics used to come there at like you know, one

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning and hang out there, and

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: like Guns and Roses would play the kibbage room like

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: three am. Like there's so many cool things that happened there.

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: Like you have to read into all these restaurants around

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles because you never know, like what the history is.

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: It's just pretty cool. My my one last quick hander

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: story is that when I was just graduated from college

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: and they were having their seventy fifth anniversary, so they

61
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: rolled their prices once a week for specific sandwiches back

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: to their Opening Day prize sol like for once we

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: stood in line for we stood in line for like

64
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: three hours just to get strom in which worth it.

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Oh Man, the room and that's all I get you

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: all you need. I can live on the pa room

67
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: in there every day the rest of my life. I

68
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be healthy, but I would enjoy myself. That's all right,

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: absolutely so uh yeah, so that was our food talk

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Football Show. We'll bring in another

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: New Yorker, the only, the one and only, Michael f Florio,

72
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: who I don't know if you have sampled any of

73
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: the delis around the Los Angeles and how they compared

74
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: maybe to some of the New York dellis that you

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: may be familiar with. Yeah, I definitely have um. Like

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I've been to candors. They they hold up to like

77
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the name of the famous John me Telly

78
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: in New York right now, but it compares. My fiance

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: is a huge foodie and has really turned me into

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: one in recent years. As Callie is trying to she

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: hears food, she's trying to get it. So if I've

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: tried a lot of the famous l A places, but

83
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: if if you were Eddie or anyone has any recommendations,

84
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: you could always shoot in my way. Oh absolutely well.

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: And as it was it Carnegie or stage Door, I

86
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: know those are two of the bigger one too, with

87
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: a more famous one that was the one I was

88
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: thinking of. There you go, all right, all right, So

89
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I plenty to talk about in this one. Let's start though,

90
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: with the Thursday night football game. The Falcons UH get

91
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: by and hold off the Panthers via score of twenty

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: five to seventeen. So Atlanta putting together a couple of

93
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: wins right now, the Panthers right now in free fall

94
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: with three straight losses. The top scorers, Curtis Samuel ended

95
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: up having a big day with a couple of touchdowns

96
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: in that one. Julio Jones seven catches for a buck

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: thirty seven and then Matt Ryan just under eighteen points,

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: passing yards and interception, but also twenty seven rushing yards

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. The one thing though, that was a

100
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: little bit surprising, Todd Gurley came out played in the

101
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: first quarter of the ball game. Then we didn't see

102
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 1: him for a good long while until the second half.

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of Brian Hill, We saw some

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Qadre Allison anything about what we saw in in terms

105
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: of his usage. Gurley's usage last night that concerns you.

106
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was at halftime. He had played us

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: than fifty percent of the snaps, and I tweeted Marcus.

108
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: I saw like I saw you tweeting, and a lot

109
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: of people were like, where is Todd Gurley right now?

110
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: And then they kept showing him on the sidelines, like stretching,

111
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and he was on the bike. At one point I

112
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: saw him like kicking his legs out, trying to stay loose,

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: and and like Joe Buck and the announcers were like,

114
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: where is Todd Gurley? Like everyone was kind of wondering. So, yeah,

115
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: I was definitely worried. He salvaged his day with a touchdown,

116
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: but going up against the Panthers, like I had him

117
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: ranked as a top ten running back, I expected a

118
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: lot more last night. I think he disappointed. I don't

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: know if it was his knee was bothering him or

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: what it was, but the usage is definitely a concern.

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were making the joke

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: that you know this is this was punishment for him

123
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: inadvertently scoring that touchdown the week before and yeah, I mean,

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: like I get the joke absolutely, but it is just

125
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: weird that he would come out start the game and

126
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: then just vanished for a long stretch, come back in

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: the second half, and as you mentioned, what was a

128
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: really great matchup. So that one's a head scratcher. Maybe

129
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: we'll get some more clarification on it and the days

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to come, but that was one that I think kind

131
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: of caught everybody by surprise. Uh and and really sort

132
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: of you know, has people asking questions the other thing

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: and you know, there's no real question here. Rather than that,

134
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley left the game with what looks like a

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: foot injury. I know the initial or X rays were negative.

136
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I think we're sort of waiting further tests on that,

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: but that's gonna be a thing to definitely keep an

138
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: eye on going forward if Calvin Ridley can't get on

139
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: the field for the Falcons. On the other side, Curtis

140
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Samuel ended up having two touchdowns, had a huge first half.

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: I think you only had one or two touches completely

142
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: in the second half. Didn't do much. But what do

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: we make of how the Panthers worked him into the

144
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: game yesterday. I think it's it's definitely interesting, but I

145
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to fully invest in him in fantasy

146
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: because so much of what he did. You know, the

147
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: the goal line touched on the second one in a

148
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: in a two week span that that he received, not

149
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: Mike Davis, but when Christian McCaffrey comes back, I mean,

150
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: those goal line touches are going his way at least

151
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Like I'd be surprised if we see

152
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel getting those and then four catches thirty one

153
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: yards and a TV like that that was and the

154
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: long catch was great to see. It was impressive if

155
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: you started him in fantasy. But with Robby Anderson and

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: d J. Moore still being there and still going to

157
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: get their fair share of targets each week, I think

158
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel is nothing more than like a Boomer bus

159
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: wade receiver later deeper wade receiver options. He's one of

160
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: those guys that again, there's a whole list of guys

161
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: out there that are I think good and useful for

162
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: real football, but not so much for fantasy, and I

163
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: think Curtis Samuel sort of slots into that because we

164
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: saw that they used him in so many different ways,

165
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know. That was actually the scouting report

166
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: on him coming out of college, that he could be

167
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a Swiss Army knife. You could use

168
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: him as a runner, you could use him as a receiver,

169
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: and that's what they've been doing the last couple of weeks.

170
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: But that kind of usage is going to be, by

171
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: its very nature, sort of inconsistent, especially when, as you mentioned,

172
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: they still have Robby Anderson d J. Moore as their

173
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: primary receivers. Christian mc affrey is very likely going to

174
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: be back next week, so that means the Mike Davis

175
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: run is officially over. So I felt like Curtis Samuel

176
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: this year was going to be the odd man out.

177
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: It's been nice to see him produced the last couple

178
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, but I'm with you, Florio, I don't know

179
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that it's going to be consistent enough for anybody to

180
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: really count on him outside of like really really deep

181
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: leagues or you know, if you've got injuries or buys

182
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: or that sort of thing that that have you shorthanded.

183
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: It's it's just gonna be hard to count on him.

184
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: So the last thing about this thing is the last.

185
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: Pretty much all year long, we have decided we can

186
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: pick on the Falcons defense that they are kind of

187
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: a soft target. But last week Matthew Stafford didn't have

188
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: a huge day. I mean, Kenny Galladay had over a

189
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards, but it was just an okay day when

190
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: it was all said and done. This past week, you know,

191
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater was not great, U Mike Davis was sort

192
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: of underwhelming. Neither of the the primary receivers for the

193
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Panthers did much to to write home about. So is

194
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: it time to start to stop picking on the Falcons

195
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: the offense or was this just kind of a two

196
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: week good run for them. I I'm not fully ready

197
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: yet to say like this is a defense that we

198
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: can no longer pick on, but I don't think it is,

199
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, the no brainer you start everyone against this team.

200
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I will say last night was pretty bad whether it

201
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: looked like heavy rain and they were saying the wind

202
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: was was blowing. So I think that that obviously played.

203
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: It helped the Falcons. It was harder to pass when

204
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: when the weather was poor, and and last week the Lions,

205
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I was high on Matt Stafford in that passing game,

206
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: they disappointed. I think that might say more about the

207
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Lions right now and the state of their offense than

208
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: it does the Falcons. But they're not the slam dunk.

209
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying like, oh, you can't stream against

210
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: them yet. I think we need to see at least

211
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: one more week of them playing like much better defense

212
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: before I'm I'm fully out on the streaming against the

213
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: Falcons defense. And the other part of this. I will

214
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: say that the the opposing scores haven't necessarily been awful.

215
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Stafford was okay. Uh, I said, Key

216
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: gall it was okay. Just they just weren't the huge

217
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: blow up games, and I think we were sort of

218
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: hoping for there. So I'm with you, I'm not really

219
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: ready to just be all out on the Falcons now.

220
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Next week the Broncos are their opponents, So maybe we

221
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: still take a chance on guys like Noah fant On

222
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: on the running backs, whether it's Melvin Gordon or Philip Lindsay.

223
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: I think we can still sort of be in on

224
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: those guys. But uh, look where he Morris. Maybe it's

225
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: turning some things around, so they're not quite the easy

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: target that they were earlier in the season. All right,

227
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: let's transition to some fantasy headlines. A couple of big

228
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: stories that will have some fantasy impact this week and

229
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: going forward. The first one, Julian Edelman is going to

230
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: have knee surgeries. This knee has apparently been bothering him

231
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: all season long, so he's going to for sure miss

232
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: this week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Beyond that, we're

233
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: not totally sure what the prognosis is how long he's

234
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: going to be out. So this is a Patriots offense

235
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: that has been struggling for the last couple of weeks

236
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: with no Julian Edelman. Are there any Patriots that you'd

237
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: consider starting against Buffalo? I don't really think so. I

238
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: think if maybe if you know the state of running

239
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: back and all the the rbs on buys and then

240
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: the injuries that are piling up there like in a

241
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: deeper league, or if you're just kind of desperate at

242
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: running back like I am in some leagues, and I'm

243
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: someone who was prioritizing the position in drafts and I'm

244
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: still diving deep on the waiver wires. I think they're

245
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: James White or Damian Harris can come into play, but

246
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: outside of that, that's really it. Like Cam Newton hasn't

247
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: looked the same since he's returned, and it's just dragging

248
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: down that passing game. I actually had Julian Edelman as

249
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: a player that I thought was droppable before we learned

250
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: about his knee injury this week, So I think now

251
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: having to wait maybe a couple of weeks to get

252
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: him back, I do think you can drop him. Nikkil

253
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Harry like, I think he has upside, but right now

254
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: I would not want to trust him in my starting lineup,

255
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: especially if he's getting a lot of trade whites. So

256
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: right now, I just think this offense is one to

257
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: completely avoid. To be honest, the pay Riots receiver who

258
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: might quietly be having the best season might be the

259
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: mere bird. Uh. He's he's getting a lot, but that's

260
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: not saying much right because nobody is talking about him,

261
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: nobody is considering starting him. So I think that speaks

262
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: a lot to where the Patriots offense is right now.

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: And for those of us who were excited about Cam Newton,

264
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: who liked what we saw from him the first couple

265
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: of weeks, uh, this is another big blow to to

266
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: any of his production on on top of the fact

267
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: that he just flat out is not playing well right now.

268
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: But now you're also taking away one of the most

269
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: consistent weapons in that offense. So it is really hard

270
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: to to start any Patriots again. I think people have

271
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: asked me about Damien Harris, and depending on who your

272
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: other options are, I might say yes on that. But

273
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: things are not good right now for New England, and

274
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: uh it is. It is not going to be a

275
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: fun time to start any Patriots anywhere in your fantasy roster.

276
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of starting, it looks like rookie Bin Denucci could

277
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: be making his first start this week for the Dallas Cowboys.

278
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton had a concussion that he suffered after a

279
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: nasty hit last week against Washington, and all signs point

280
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: to him not being able to get on the field

281
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: this week against Philadelphia. So we have seen that the

282
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Dallas pass catchers have sort of struggled the last couple

283
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: of weeks with Dalton there. Now they've got a completely

284
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: new quarterback. Would you start any of these Dallas pass

285
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: catchers against the Eagles. I think the only one that

286
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: you could start is a Mari Cooper, and even that

287
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: he's a lot lower for me than obviously than with

288
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: Dac and even then with Andy Dalton, like, we don't

289
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: really have any idea of of bender Nucci's past tendencies

290
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: of who he of which of these past catchers he's

291
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: going to rely on the most. For what it's worth,

292
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: he threw three passes last week. Two of them did

293
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: go to Marie Cooper. I don't think that's really worth

294
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But Cooper has been the most consistent

295
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and volume wise and fantasy production wise this year, so

296
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I do think that if you're gonna start any of them,

297
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: he is the guy. I'm someone who was very high

298
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: on Ceedee Lamb coming into of this year and early

299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: on that looks great, But I am benching him everywhere

300
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: I have him. I'm dropping Michael Gallup right now. And

301
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's a pretty ugly situation right now in Dallas.

302
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: It went from us feeling like Dallas had just a

303
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: a fountain of fantasy talent to now it I think

304
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: everybody's looking around and saying, what do we do with

305
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: our cowboys at this point? And last week Ceedee Lamp

306
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: scored point one fantasy point, which in a PPR world

307
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: is really hard to do. I mean, right like, just

308
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the fact that you get one full point for catching

309
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: the football. Uh, the fact that you would score zero

310
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: point one fantasy points total really speaks to where this

311
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: offense is right now. And it's still outscored Michael Gallup.

312
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: And he's still outscored Michael Gallup. I mean so at

313
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: this point, Gallup, he's drop herble, right, I mean we

314
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: we can we can move on from Michael Gallup at

315
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah. I think so. He's had one top

316
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: thirty five wide receiver game all year, like he had

317
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: he had that you know, one or two games uh

318
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: where we thought maybe he was gonna salvage something. But

319
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: I think that that might do it with no Doc

320
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: and certainly you know, and this week possibly with no

321
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton Um, I think it might be over for him.

322
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: On the other side, though, between de Nucci starting, between

323
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line being beat up, are the Eagles is

324
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: their defensive must start this week? Yeah? I think so.

325
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty happy because I picked up the Eagles

326
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: defense a lot of leagues last week because they played

327
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: the Giants and I didn't have to spend any know,

328
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: any fab Orny waiver Wire claims to try to pick

329
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: up a new streaming defense this week because they're going

330
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: up against Ben de Nucci, and again he is just

331
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: a complete unknown. This passing game has looked really bad.

332
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: The the old line is in complete shambles right now.

333
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: And the one positive in this offense you would think

334
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: is Ezekiel Elliott. Well, he's having trouble holding onto the

335
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: Bali four fumbles this year leads all running backs, and

336
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: the Eagle strength on defense is upfront against the runs.

337
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: So I do think they are a must start defense

338
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: this week. I I feel like I think earlier in

339
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: the week when I looked, they were rostered, and I

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: think about fifty of NFL dot com leagues, I haven't

341
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: looked since, you know, since Tuesday, I think, but I

342
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: would suspect that number has gone up because I think

343
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: people are going to look at this, this Cowboy offense

344
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: and say, you know this, this is a chance to

345
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: really do something, you know, with a fantasy defense, and

346
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: suddenly the Cowboys. We talk about the Falcons being a

347
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: soft target, the Cowboys have become that soft target both

348
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: defensively and offensively now, which is not a thing that

349
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: I expected. We'd say, with the way the season began,

350
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: with just the amount of talent they seem to have

351
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: on this roster, but file under life comes at you

00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: So the bulk of Week eight is coming at us

359
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday and has always We've got some big questions

360
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: we want to answer that will hopefully help your fantasy

361
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: squads heading in to that full Sunday of action. Let's

362
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: start in Baltimore. The running back situation has been a

363
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: mess pretty much all year long, but Signs points to

364
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: mark Ingram not being available this week for their big

365
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So that takes what had

366
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: been a three headed running back attack not counting Lamar Jackson,

367
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: and makes it a two headed running back attack not

368
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: counting Lamar Jackson. So choose your fighter then. Is it

369
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards or is it J K. Dobbins. I think

370
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head with how just

371
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: of a mess this backfield has been I think with

372
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: mark Ingram out it makes it a little bit better.

373
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: But it comes to the worst possible time, right against

374
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers team who have allowed the least fantasy points

375
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to running backs this year. But I'm going with j

376
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: K Dobbins of these two guys because one he's their

377
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: past catching back already, like he's not seeing huge targets

378
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: each week, but he has fourteen targets I believe it

379
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: is on the year right now, and the other two

380
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: come Bond, have just eight, so he has that role.

381
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: And then he's also again it's very small numbers, but

382
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: he has to goal line carries this year, while Gus

383
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: Edwards and mark Ingram have one a piece. So he's

384
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: a I mean, he's a huge man. I'm hoping that

385
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: if they get near the goal and it is him

386
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: and not Edwards they're using because hopefully can catch a

387
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: couple of passes. Again, though I don't really feel great

388
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: about either one of these two coming in against this

389
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: tough matchup, but it is improved with no mark Ingram there.

390
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: So everything you just said about, you know, j K.

391
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: Dobbins versus Gus Edwards I completely agree with. But for

392
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: some reason, I just have a feeling this is going

393
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: to be a Gus Edwards game. I don't. I don't

394
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: have anything other than so inside, you know, a little

395
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: a little behind the curtain here. Before the show started,

396
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: we were talking about you know, the world series and

397
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: analytics and and and you know, gut feelings versus sort

398
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: of playing the numbers and that sort of thing. Uh.

399
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the numbers and I'm seeing them and

400
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm understanding them. But my gut just says that somehow

401
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is going to be the guy this week,

402
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: that he's gonna rip off maybe a long run or

403
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: what have you. And I don't I don't expect either

404
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys, Dobbins or Edwards to have a

405
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: huge game because that Steelers defense, I think is going

406
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: to clamp down if if the Ravens are successful, and

407
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: if they win this game, I think they do it

408
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: through the air by taking some shots down the field.

409
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't love starting either of these guys. I

410
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: get it, if you have to. Um, I'm just saying,

411
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: my my gut has this feeling that somehow Gus Edwards

412
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy despite everything. You just

413
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: laid out, which is a hundred percent accurate and makes

414
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: complete and absolute sense. All Right, So now we talked

415
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: about Ben Dnucci possibly making his first start for the

416
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, but another more heralded rookie is going to

417
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: make his NFL debut coming up this week. That's too

418
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: a tag of Alloa for the Miami Dolphins. And look,

419
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: we have sort of been interested to see him on

420
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: the field that the matchup is not necessarily a great

421
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: one this week for him against the good Rams defense,

422
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: But what do you expect to see from two of

423
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: this week? I'm not expecting a whole lot out of

424
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: two of this week. He's someone that I'm super excited

425
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: to watch. I'm excited for his long term fantasy outlook,

426
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: but if I picked him up, I'm keeping him on

427
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: the bench this week. He has a very tough matchup

428
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: against the Rams defense that have allowed the seventh fews

429
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: fantasy points to quarterbacks. But even so, he's a rookie

430
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: making his first start and he's asked to go against

431
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey and that bunch. Like, to me,

432
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot that could go wrong here,

433
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: and the upside is not particularly worth starting him, in

434
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think it could also be a game

435
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: where they try to rely on the run a lot

436
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: and and use Miles Gaskins a lot more than they

437
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: did with Fitzpatrick. I'm with you. I want to watch

438
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: it just one from a standpoint of being a football

439
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: fan and just seeing the guy out there and seeing

440
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: what he can do. But I also just kind of

441
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: want to observe and see exactly where he's going with

442
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the football, how quickly he's getting it out when he runs,

443
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: how much he runs. I want to get a feel

444
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: for what to attack of Bloa can be in the NFL. Now,

445
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: in some respects, it's good to see it against such

446
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: a quality defense because that way, I think we'll get

447
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: a better gauge maybe of of who he's going to be.

448
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: I think it would be one thing if he were

449
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: starting against say the Cowboys defense, uh, and we're just

450
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: kind of running through them up and down the field,

451
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: and maybe we get a false sense of security. So

452
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: I think this gives us a good barometer of of

453
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: who he's going to be potentially. And the ceiling is

454
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: I think going to be very high, so like whatever

455
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: we see is not the final verdict on him, but

456
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I don't know that I would start

457
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: him this week. I also would kind of stay away

458
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: from any of the other Dolphins pass catchers, so DeVante Parker,

459
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Preston Williams. Maybe I'd start like the Sicky, just because

460
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: the Rams have kind of struggled against the tight end position.

461
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: But I think beyond that, it's it's kind of a

462
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: wait and see attitude for me with any of the

463
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins players. Jonathan Taylor has not yet had the big

464
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: breakout game, but I think a lot of us would

465
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: have wanted. They've got the Lions this week, who have

466
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: certainly had their defensive struggles. What sort of usage and

467
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: production are you expecting from j T? I know you

468
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: know the pup wants to get in an answer too,

469
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: but I'll ask you first, what do you expect from JT?

470
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: This week? She has Jonathan Taylor. She listened to me

471
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: and drafted Jonathan Taylor, So now she's like, where's all

472
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: my fantasy points that you promised been. I think they're

473
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: coming though. I think that um this, I think he

474
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: has the potential to be this year's Miles Sanders, right,

475
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: a rookie running back that just in the second half

476
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: of the season catches fire, and I think it could

477
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: start this week against the Lions defense that has allowed

478
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: a ton of fantasy points to running backs all year long.

479
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: They're in the top five and yards and points allowed

480
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: to the position. Plus Jonathan Taylor's work is pretty safe,

481
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: right Like, his snaps have gone up each week since

482
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: Week three. Um, he's seen over seen thirty five percent

483
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 1: of the Colts touches already this year. So now that

484
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity has been there and the schedule is about

485
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: to get favorable, I'm feeling very optimistic about Jonathan Taylor

486
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: right now. You talk about the Lions defense and giving

487
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: up a lot of points to running backs, and especially

488
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: over the last month, they've given up the third most

489
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: points for games fantasy running backs, So that's a plus

490
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: in their favor. On the flip side, that not that

491
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: their past defense has been led out, but he has

492
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: certainly been better. And you you factor that in with

493
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, who has been struggling, especially over the last

494
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: few weeks. This does feel like the sort of game

495
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: where the Colts sort of lean on their runners a

496
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: little bit more, where maybe we see Jonathan Taylor get

497
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: that big workload and have that big breakout game, because

498
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were hoping it was coming.

499
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: I will say that I was never completely out on

500
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. Obviously, he unfortunately got hurt and so that

501
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: sort of changed things. But now that it's j T show,

502
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: I think we're all waiting to see him maybe have

503
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: that big game and it could really happen this week

504
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: against Detroit. Alright, So since we're talking a lot of

505
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: running backs, we talked the Ravens backfield, we talked the

506
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: Colts backfield, Let's look at the forty Niners backfield because

507
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: that has become a free for all back there with

508
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: so many guys shuffling in and out because of injury.

509
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Then you have the Seahawks this week, who've been pretty

510
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: good against the run. If you had to pick a

511
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners running back, who would it be. I'm going

512
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: with Jamichael Hasty right now. I thought he was a

513
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: sleeper last week and then he really made me sweat

514
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: as we had to watch Jeff Wilson get infinite fantasy

515
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: points and touchdowns while Hasty wasn't even on the field.

516
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: But Ben Wilson went down unfortunately with the ankle injury.

517
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: It just seems like ankle injuries are piling up this year.

518
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: But when he went down, it was Hasty, not Jerk McKinnon.

519
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: That was really brought in and and trusted by Kyle Shanahan.

520
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: And I am a believer that Marcus. I know you

521
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: are a forty nine Ers fan. I nothing against Mostard

522
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: and Coleman and all these running backs. I think Kyle

523
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Shanahan is what makes that that run game work. Like.

524
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: His system has proven to be beneficial for whoever is

525
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: the starting running back there. And there's been numerous backs

526
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: who have started under Shanahan and been Fantasy productive. So

527
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm going with Hasty. I will say, though, the one

528
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: thing if to keep an eye out on is Tevin

529
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: Coleman has been designated for returns, so at any point

530
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks they can activate him, so

531
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: monitor that situation before. But if he is inactive, go

532
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: with JA Michael Hasty. In my opinion, I would say

533
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: Hasty as well, in part because last week we didn't

534
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: see McKinnon get on the field much. I think he

535
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: had three touches, and then after the fact, Kyle Shanahan says,

536
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the plan was always the sort of rest

537
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: him because we gave him so many snaps and so

538
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: many touches early in the season, and he just has

539
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: looked kind of heavy legged the last couple of weeks

540
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: when he was on the field. Of course, none of

541
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: us knew that, and for a lot of people who

542
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: started Jerick McKinnon, uh, there were a lot of angry

543
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: tweets fledding into my mentions last week. But I do

544
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: think that Hasty is a guy with a little bit

545
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: more pop right now. He's running a little bit more effectively,

546
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that I would go with as well.

547
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: I also completely agree that I think it really does

548
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: have a lot to do with Shanahan's scheme versus the

549
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: individual players. I mean, look, Remostart is obviously very talented,

550
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: but let's keep it real. He was a journeyman who

551
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: had kind of, you know, bounced around to a number

552
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: of teams before landing in San Francisco and having success,

553
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: So I think that does play into it. My fear

554
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: is that Tevin Coleman is activated and comes back to

555
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: play that might be of anything, that might be Kyle

556
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: Shanahan's blind spot is that he has this allegiance to

557
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. Despite the fact that of all the running

558
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: backs to forty nine has have put out there, whether

559
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, Mostard or McKinnon or Hasty or Wilson,

560
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Coleman seems to be the least effective of all of them.

561
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Yet the Niners keep trying to, you know, force that

562
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: square peg into that round hole. So that's the guy

563
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: that that sort of frightens me, not because I expect

564
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: huge things from him, but just because they may keep

565
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: trying to shoehorn him in there, uh and and having

566
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: him take opportunities away from the other guys. But of

567
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: all the guys that are healthy and that we know

568
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: we're going to play, I am with you, I think

569
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: ja Michael Hasty is the guy that you gotta want

570
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: in your lineup this week. So for more analysis like

571
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: that and even more, be sure to check us out

Speaker 1: and take you right up until kickoff. It's time for

579
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Best Value presented by Draft Kings. As we do every week,

580
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: we try to get you the most bang for your

581
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: fantasy buck by finding some values you can place on

582
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: your DFS roster. So let's start at quarterback. Who do

583
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: you have this week, Florio, I'm going with Jimmy Garoppolo.

584
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, these Seahawks are just a team

585
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: that you can stream your quarterbacks against. They've allowed the

586
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to the position. But what I like

587
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: even more is it's not like it's been just one

588
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: or two big blow up games, like I know Kyla

589
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: Mary went off against him last week, but it's been

590
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: a consistent thing each week. They've allowed over twenty one

591
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: fantasy points to every quarterback they played this year that's

592
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: not named Kirk Cousins. So you could just throw on

593
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: this defense right now. And I expect Jimmy g who

594
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: is coming off of his two highest passing yardage game

595
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: UH this season the last two weeks. I think that

596
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: he can have a big game this week against Seattle.

597
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: I like that pick a lot. Uh. I know that

598
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live Adam Rank had a Jimmy garoppolo George

599
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: Kills stacked this week against the Seahawks. I'm gonna go

600
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: with Drew Lock against the Chargers, and the Chargers have

601
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: given up some fantasy points to quarterbacks over the course

602
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: of the season, and so this is one where you know,

603
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: the the Broncos have their quarterback back and healthy again.

604
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: I think Noah Fan hopefully is a little bit healthier

605
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: as well. We've seen guys like Tim Patrick step up

606
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and play well. I think we're still waiting for a

607
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: huge Jerry Judy game and that might come as well.

608
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: But the Bronco offense as a whole, I think is

609
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: getting healthier there with an opportunity to go and play

610
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: and look, I think it's an interesting quarterback matchup in

611
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: the sense that you've got two young quarterbacks who like

612
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: to throw the ball downfield, and this could be kind

613
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: of a fun game, sneakily to watch. It's not one

614
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: of the headliner games this week, but I think it

615
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: could end up being really entertaining if things turn out

616
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: the way that I think they can. Over the running back,

617
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: who is the running back that you're choosing for your

618
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: value pick, I'm going with DeAndre Swift, and I know

619
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a great matchup on paper against the Colts,

620
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: but he's just been trending up in my opinion, like

621
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: the work has been increasing. He's already their past catching back,

622
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: so it's been really encouraging to see him also getting

623
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: used near the goal line. And I don't think it's

624
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: been talked about a whole lot this week, but Adrian

625
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: Peterson was limited at practice with an a dominant injury.

626
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: To me, that is scary and if it leads to

627
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: less Adrian Peterson, carry On Johnson has already been removed

628
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: from this offense pretty much, so if it's less Adrian

629
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Peterson this week due to that injury, it could be

630
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: even more DeAndre Swift and a fifty. I think his

631
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: price is low because of the matchup, but I think

632
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: he can still produce and give you fantasy points. I

633
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that it has taken the Lions so

634
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: long to get DeAndre Swift into the mix, but we're

635
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: glad to see it. Uh, you know, so I carry

636
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: on Johnson, I think has been off fantasy rosters for

637
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: a while. Adrian Peterson might be heading that way. I'm

638
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna go. Look, this maybe low hanging fruit. This maybe

639
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: just a little bit of wish casting. But I'm gonna

640
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Levey on Bell here. Uh, partially because obviously he plays

641
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: in the Chief's offense, but partially because of the revenge

642
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: factor against the New York Jets. I mean, that's one

643
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: of the defenses we have been picking on consistently all

644
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: season long. And I do think that the Chiefs are

645
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna give Bell some extra opportunities this week. I think

646
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Clyde Edward Hlaire is a good star as well, so

647
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm not completely fading him, but I do think there's

648
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of extra here, and I do think

649
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs want to see Levo out and and get

650
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: a little get back against Adam Gates and the team

651
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: that just let him go not all that long ago.

652
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: So especially the fact that the salary is forty hundred,

653
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: you can slide him in there, and that gives you

654
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of flexibility to do some other things. Okay,

655
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: over to the wide receivers, which one do you have

656
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: your eye on? I'm going with Nelson swagg A Lard. Yeah.

657
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: I know that that he's became like he became a

658
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: meme and and was like a joke in Philly, like

659
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: he can't catch the babies, but he's catching the long ball.

660
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: Now in Oakland, they've moved him from the slot to

661
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: LT wide. Kudos to John Gruden. I know people like

662
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: to get on John Gruden a lot, but he said

663
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: he saw Aguilar speed and was like, we gotta get

664
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: this guy out wide and take some deep shots with him.

665
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: And it's worked. He scored over fourteen Fantasy points in

666
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: three straight. But what I really love is last week

667
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: he had nine targets and he scored over twenty Fantasy points.

668
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: So he's looking like their water receiver one. Sadly it

669
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: is not Henry Ruggs right now. It looks like it

670
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: is Nelson Aguilar, and I don't think the DFS price

671
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: is caught up yet. That was kind of surprising to

672
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: me that that that the number was so low for

673
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: him this week. But I do like him, especially because

674
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs has been you know, he's just not getting

675
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: a lot of targets and Aglor seems to be the

676
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: guy that's getting those looks from Derek Carr. I'm gonna

677
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: go Scotty Miller because we know that Chris Godwin is

678
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: not going to be available this week, which I think

679
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: we're all sort of surprised by the news that he

680
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: had a broken finger that is getting worked on. So

681
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: he's not going to be available for the Buccaneers. And

682
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: so when we've seen God went out, we've seen Scotty

683
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: Miller stuff up and get a lot of opportunities. In fact,

684
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: I saw a stat this morning that a per next

685
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: Gens Stats, four of Tom Brady's five longest completions this

686
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: season have gone to Scotty Miller, which means he's kind

687
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: of a boomer bust guy. But with no God, when

688
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: the boom opportunity goes up, he's got a good opportunity

689
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: to make some plays. And look, we have sort of,

690
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, taking our shots at the Giants defense, and

691
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: so that's an o tinnity for I think Scotty Miller

692
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: to slide in there and have some production. I thought

693
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: tight End had some pretty good options available to us

694
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: this week for value picks. Floria, which one did you

695
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: go with? I thought so as well. I went with

696
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: John new Smith at forty one. I was surprised to

697
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: see that his price had fallen that far. One bad

698
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: game and he's back to being a pretty cheap tight end.

699
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: I know you could say it's two bad games, but

700
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: two weeks ago he left early due to injury and

701
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: his backup just went off and put up nearly twenty

702
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: fantasy points. I believe it was Ryan Tannehill is still

703
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: in the top three in percentage and to total throws

704
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: per game going to tight ends, So the volume, I

705
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: feel like it's very safe for john new Smith. He's

706
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: not even a tight end that I think you need

707
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: to play the matchups. I just think he's one of

708
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: these tight ends that there's very few of them. But

709
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: if he is healthy and active, I'm starting. I mean,

710
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: Johnny Smith is the tight end seven and that was

711
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: him with him missing some time with an injury, So

712
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: I I am surprised that that the number hasn't caught

713
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: up to him quite yet either. I'm gonna go Jared

714
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: cooked here, and part of it is, Look, we know

715
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is not going to be available after he

716
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID, and Michael Thomas may likely be back,

717
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: may not be back. We're not completely sure of what

718
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: his health is going to be even he if he

719
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: is on the field. Uh, the the Saints wide receivers

720
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: as a group have really sort of underperformed this year.

721
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: We got one nice game out of Sanders. We haven't

722
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: been able to figure out whether it is you know,

723
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: tra Quant Smith, uh, Deante Harris or Marquez Callaway who

724
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: stepped in and had a big week last week. And

725
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: it's sort of been kind of a patchwork there. But

726
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: Jared Cook has kind of been the one constant. So

727
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I do see him getting some opportunities, and I like

728
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity to get him in there, even at DRED.

729
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: I'll take the shot out of him. Uh. Defense. As

730
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: we wrapped this one up, the we talked about the

731
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Patriots offense and their struggles. It seems like that's that's

732
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: a good place to sort of target if you could.

733
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: For defenses. Yeah, there's quite a few defenses that I

734
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: like as streaming options this week, so I just went

735
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: with the one that was the cheapest. It's the Bills

736
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: at thirty three hundred and again it just goes back

737
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: too because I am a Bills fan and I could

738
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: tell you firsthand Bill's defense is not what it was

739
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: last year. They haven't really been able to shut down

740
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: opposing offenses unless they're playing the Jets, but this week

741
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: they get a very weak and struggling Patriots offense right

742
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: now that is going to be without Julian Edelman, that

743
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: is with Cam Newton really struggling, and just like we

744
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: were saying earlier, no one on that team on the

745
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball scares me. So I think

746
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: you could stream against them. I think the Bills are

747
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: a great pick. I'm gonna go with the Eagles. We

748
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: talked about them a little bit earlier as well. With

749
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys sort of in a similar situation. They've got

750
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: a potential rookie quarterbacks starting, They've got an offensive line

751
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: that is full of holes right now. It is. Things

752
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: are bad down in Dallas. So you know, for fantasy,

753
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: we can sort of take advantage of that and get

754
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: that Eagles defense fired up. Slightly more expensive, but certainly

755
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: not breaking the bank there. So I think that's a

756
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: quality option if you're looking for a defense that you

757
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: can get in sort of at a value price. This

758
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: week in Daily Fantasy, there you go. That was the

759
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: best values presented by DraftKings. Well, it's at the best

760
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: of the pack presented by Panini Trading Cards. We do

761
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: this every week. We picked three guys out of a

762
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: pack of cards, and we talk about it. It's just

763
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: that simple. So let's start with this. Lamar Jackson starting

764
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: quarterback for your Baltimore Ravens. We talked earlier in the

765
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: show about the Ravens run game and just kind of

766
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: the mess that it has been. But Lamar Jackson has

767
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: sort of underwhelmed this year. It's got a tough matchup

768
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: on paper against the Steelers. How worried should we be

769
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: about al Jacks this week? There's lots of reasons to

770
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 1: be worried, Like the Steelers defense might be the best

771
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: in the league. They've allowed the sixth US fantasy points

772
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks this year, and they held him last year

773
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: to less than twelve fantasy points in the one game

774
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: against and that was his worst game of the season.

775
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: But Marcus, it's just one of the conversation, like you

776
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: referenced earlier, It's one of those things like there's plenty

777
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: of numbers that say that this is a game to

778
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: be worried about Lamar Jackson, But I still have him

779
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: as my QB five because maybe it's a flawed logic

780
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: on my part, but I keep thinking, like Lamar Jackson

781
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: is going to have a big breakout game eventually, right Like,

782
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet. He hasn't had a signature Lamar

783
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: game yet. I still think one of those is coming.

784
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna have a game where he throws for

785
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: like two fifty, multiple touchdowns, rushes for like a hundred

786
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: yards and when everything is pointing like this is the

787
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: week that it's clearly not gonna happen. I just have

788
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: a feeling that, like when no one is expecting it,

789
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: Lamar might shine. I do think that if again, like

790
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: I said earlier, if the Ravens succeed in this one,

791
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: it's because Lamar threw the ball effectively, and if there's

792
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: a spot where you can sort of beat the Steelers,

793
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: it is down field. They will give up some long

794
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: throws occasionally, and I know that's the reason a lot

795
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: of people sort of have Marquees Brown as a sleeper

796
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: this week. People are sort of pegging that this is

797
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: the week that Hollywood has his big blow up game,

798
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: because maybe he and Lamar connect on a couple of

799
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: those long throws and get in the end zone. So

800
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The numbers suggest that this is going

801
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: to be not a great game for Lamar Jackson. But

802
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: I do think that there's an opportunity for him to

803
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: kind of come out and shine and make to be

804
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: sort of quiet some of the doubters that are starting

805
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: to creep up right now and have one of those

806
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: classic Lamar Jackson games that we saw so many times

807
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: last year. All right, next step, it's Gronk, Rob Gronkowski,

808
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: and the last couple of weeks he's come back to life.

809
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: He's been able to score touchdowns. He and Tom Brady

810
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: seemed to be connecting like they were in New England

811
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: for all those years. And now, as we talked about,

812
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin is out, So how much might Gronk benefit

813
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: from not having Chris Godwin around. I think Grounk can

814
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: benefit big time because a lot of Godwin's routes come

815
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: in the slot, so over the middle type routes, and

816
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: that's where Gronk is gonna do a lot of his damage.

817
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: I especially love how they've been. Brady especially has been

818
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: targeting him near, you know, in the red zone and

819
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: near the goal lines. So I think I was someone

820
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: Marcus who was high coming into the year on grunk

821
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: and I actually have a team where I drafted him

822
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: as my starting tight end and have twice dropped him

823
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: and repicked him back up, and I just can't seem

824
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: to quit Rob Gronkowski. But the last couple of weeks

825
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: have been fun, and I think right now with god

826
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: Win out, you just continue to ride the hot hand

827
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: and you start grownk. I mean, look over the last

828
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: two weeks, back to back games, he's had ten catches,

829
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards, two touchdowns. That makes him the

830
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: tight end one. And admittedly what is a small sample,

831
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: but I don't I do think it speaks to how

832
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of getting back into shape. He's starting to,

833
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of get comfortable again, and you know

834
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: they are finding him. I know Bruce Arian said they

835
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: weren't going to try to force the issue when it

836
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: came to getting the ball to Bronk. But he's getting open,

837
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: he's making plays. He and Tom Brady we know work

838
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: well together. So it seems to be working out. And

839
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: where I was sort of skeptical about Gronk and kind

840
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: of stayed away from him, now I'm sort of, you know,

841
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of regretting that a little bit, wishing I had

842
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: taken at least one or two shots on him somewhere

843
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: in draft, so you live and you learn, all right.

844
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: The last one is another tight end, this one a

845
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: much younger version. This one is no offense for the

846
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Who really has been the top pass catcher

847
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: in that Broncos offense And like Bronk, he wears number

848
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: eighties seven. Uh, except the Bear are on the docket

849
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: and it's not a great or actually no, it's not

850
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: the It just the best. I don't know what it is.

851
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: But do we start no a fan this week for

852
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: the different Broncos. I think you you can because of

853
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: the state of tight end right like, like he said,

854
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: he is their top past catching option there and he

855
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: was really playing well early on in the season and

856
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: then coming like since he's come back and the production

857
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: hasn't quite been what you want. But again, the state

858
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: of tight end is is just so bad right now

859
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: that I think when you get down after the the

860
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: top eight or nine tight ends this week, I think

861
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: he is very much so in that next group and

862
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't play. It's the Chargers. By the way, I knew that.

863
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: I said that earlier, so I don't know I forgot that,

864
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: but uh, look, I think you're starting No. A Fan

865
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: just because he is sort of the primary option. I

866
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: think in the Broncos passing game, he's the guy who's

867
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: doing most of the work. And I know he's had

868
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: a couple of down games, but I still have a

869
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in him. And You're right, he's one

870
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: of the guys that I think we can sort of

871
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: count on week af your week in a at a

872
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: position where we are struggling to find consistency. So I

873
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: start No A Fan. I don't really worry so much

874
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: about the matchup. I just believe that the Bronchos are

875
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get him to football, and

876
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: we'll see if it happens this week against the Chargers.

877
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: The Chargers, it is the opponent, so alright. That was

878
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: best of the pack presented by Panini Trading Cards. The

879
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,480

Speaker 1: it's time for our favorite segment of the week, Gets

884
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: Asked a Nerd. We went to our pal Matt Okada

885
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: and asked him for the best single game running back

886
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy performances of the new millennium. Thanks Marcus Well after

887
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: highlighting some historic wide receiver performances on last week's Ask

888
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: a Nerd, Tyler Lockett heard the call and actually made

889
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: the list. We're aiming for a repeat this week with

890
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: the top five single game running back before us of

891
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: this millennium. At number five, we have Chiefs and Fantasy

892
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: superstar Priest Holmes. In Week twelve, two thousand two, Homes

893
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: posted an unbelievable three hundred seven scrimmage yards and three

894
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: scores in rounds of fifty five point seven Fantasy points.

895
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: For reference, that yardage total is more than the Jets

896
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: have posted as a team in five of seven games

897
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: this season. We have a tie for third between Seawan

898
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: Alexander and Ladanian Thomason at fifty six point one Fantasy points,

899
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: and both games also took place in the fabled two

900
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: thousand two seasons. Lt S game came the week after

901
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Holmes game, when he told a record forty

902
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: eight touches and racked up two hundred seventy one yards

903
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: and three TVs against the Broncos Alexander made our list

904
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: in week four when he scored five touchdowns and added

905
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty one yards against the Vikings Number two.

906
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: We have our first game outside have two thousand two.

907
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: It was a whole year later that Broncos back Clinton

908
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: Portis scored fifty seven point four points in Week fourteen,

909
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: two thousand three against the Chiefs. Port just did the

910
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: vast majority of his damage on the ground, rushing for

911
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: two d eighteen yards and five touchdowns and coming in

912
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: at number one. We have our second chief and fourth

913
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: member of the a f C West, Jamal Charles. Charles

914
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: was known for incredible breakaway runs, but this performance was

915
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: almost all aired as he snagged eight catches for a

916
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: hundred ninety five yards and four scores, adding another twenty

917
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: yards and a score on the ground in Week fifteen.

918
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: This has been another explosive episode of Aska NERD have

919
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: a fun Week eight and they all these fantasy points

920
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: be with you. Thank you, Matt always appreciate that. Yeah, so,

921
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's funny. We talked about wide receivers last

922
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: week and then as he mentioned, Tyler Lockett goes out

923
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: has a huge performance for a lot of Fantasy folks.

924
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: So I asked last week, which wide receiver drafted since

925
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: two thousand would you take if you had the choice?

926
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: So I might as well just ask the same question

927
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: for running backs. There's a running back that's been drafted

928
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: since two thousand that you would want on your fantasy team?

929
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: Who would it be? I'm gonna go with Adrian Peterson here.

930
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: He's the man who made a who first made a

931
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: torn a c L look like a knee scrape coming

932
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: back and just having an absolute stellar season off of that.

933
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: He's won an m v P, which is something that

934
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, not many running backs can say they've done.

935
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: And he's still going, like I keep waiting for the

936
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: wheels to fall off of Adrian Peterson, and he just

937
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: keeps proving this wrong year in and year out. I

938
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: really thought hard about Adrian Peterson, but at the last moment,

939
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: I decided to switch, and I'm gonna go with Ladanian Tomlinson.

940
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: And not just because he is one of our colleagues

941
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: here at NFL Media, but you want to talk about

942
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: a guy who in his prime was an absolute beast,

943
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're just talking about who was

944
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: just a lock generally for thirteen fourteen hundred yards every

945
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: single season, not just double digit touchdowns, but we're talking

946
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: about your fifteen eighteen twenty touchdowns this season. And on

947
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: top of it, me, once in a while he would

948
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: go and throw a pass too. I mean, trust me,

949
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: all my friends who are Raider fans lament the fact

950
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: that it just seemed like Ladanian Tomlinson would throw a

951
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: touchdown pass at least once a year against them. I mean,

952
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: the guy was just an absolute beast for the entirety

953
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: of his career, and he played at a time when

954
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: you know, you saw that three Baska heard segment. I mean,

955
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: he got forty something touches in a game like that.

956
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: That is insane to imagine a running back nowadays getting

957
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: forty touches in a game that was consistently Ladanian Tomlinson.

958
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: Uh So that's the guy that I would go with.

959
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: But I really did think very hard about going Adrian

960
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Peterson there. So, since Tyler Lockett broke into the list

961
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: last week, Uh, if there's one guy that you look

962
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: at this week that has a chance to maybe break

963
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: into this top five list, who do you think it

964
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 1: would be? First, I played Tyler Lockett in a league

965
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: that I looked like I was easily going to win

966
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: and then lost big time because of it, so that

967
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't too much fun. But for running back, I

968
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: think it would be Dalvin. Look those running backs on

969
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: that list that that Will Kado laid out, they were,

970
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, bigger name backs who were going to get

971
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: a lot of touches. And that's what Dalvin Cook is.

972
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: We know he's an elite talent and he's been practicing,

973
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: and they're saying that if he is not going to

974
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: be on a snap count or anything like that this week.

975
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: And the Packers have allowed the most fantasy points to

976
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: running backs, you can run all over them, but their

977
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: secondary has played well. I think the Vikings are gonna

978
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: do everything they can to continue to feed Cooking that

979
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: run game and keep the game close. I'm gonna go

980
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt because you said the Packers give up the

981
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running back with the Raiders give

982
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: up the second most fantasy points to running backs, and

983
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt has been He was good even when Nick

984
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: Chubb was there, but without Nichubb, he really is getting

985
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: so much more work. We know he's gonna catch the

986
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: football as well. He's been effective as a runner. And

987
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: even for all the good things Baker Mayfield did last week,

988
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: the Brown still want to run the football primarily. So

989
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that if if a guy is gonna

990
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: go out and have just a bonkers game this week,

991
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: it is going to be Kareem Hunt. So there you go.

992
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: Make sure you get Dalvin Cook dream Hunt in your lineups.

993
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: You probably were anyway, but now it was added reason too,

994
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: because maybe they'll end up in an asking Herd segment

995
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: somewhere down the line. In the meantime, for us, that

996
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging out

997
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,279

998
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two

999
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: friends rate review and remember, of course, truth is stranger

1000
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. Be safe, take

1001
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: care of yourselves. Were a mask, and we will see

1002
