24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: about this tweet from New Jersey Record Giants beat writer

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: New Jersey Record Giants beat writer Art Stapleton. You can

26
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: follow him at Art Stapleton. Larry Donnell benched himself in

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football last week in favor of Vernon Davis. His

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: team lost by fifteen points. Quote what a one if

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I played me, Danell said. He told Stapleton he has

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: inserted himself into the starting lineup four Week four, and

31
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: of course he missed out by leaving him self on

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the bench. Fab fabs about three and a half points,

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the most amongst tight ends. Yeah. Well, so if he

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: doesn't know that he's going to be utilized in the

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: red zone, how are we supposed to know that? That

36
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: reminds me of Chris Cooley. Remember a few years ago

37
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: he played a guy who had Chris Cooley. He scored

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: three touchdowns against the Cowboys and Coolly lost because he

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: had three touchdowns. And by the way, I mentioned week

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: five because I got so excited about your four and

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: old record. Of course, Week four is what we are

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,400

Speaker 1: presented by Bose, the official fantasy football show of the

64
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: National Football League. Matt money Smith here joined by NFL

65
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: dot Com Senior Fantasy analyst Michael Fabiano. Fab Fabs. We

66
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: are well really a third of the way through the

67
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: fantasy season, and I believe this is kind of your

68
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: sweet spot for trades, right It's the sort of the

69
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: trade season right now. Of course, I always make trades.

70
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: If you're not trading, you're not trying. That's right. Well,

71
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: let's get to someone perhaps you can trade four. But

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: a reminder you can always tweet the show at NFL Fantasy.

73
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: And speaking of Twitter, check out this tweet from New

74
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: jer The Record Giants beat writer Art Stapleton Larry Dinnelle.

75
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: This is the quote benched himself and fantasy football last

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: week in favor of Vernon Davis. His team lost by

77
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: fifteen points. Quote would have one if I played me,

78
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: and l said, he told Stapleton. Stapleton he has inserted

79
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: himself into the starting lineup four Week five. No surprise,

80
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: of course, Vernon Davis left that game against the Eagles

81
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: with an injury, a back injury. Less than a point

82
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: production from Davis twenty three and a half, the most

83
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: of all tight ends for Dannelle. So if he doesn't

84
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: know that he's going to be utilized in the red zone,

85
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: how are we supposed to know these things too? And

86
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: it reminds me of Chris Cooley a few years ago.

87
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: He's a big fantasy guy played against a friend who

88
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: played Chris Cooley. Coolie had three touchdowns against the Dallas

89
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys and lost to his friend because of those scores. Well,

90
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: perhaps in defense of Dannelle, I believe we all benched

91
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: him because they were the road team on Thursday night football,

92
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: and me typically bench everybody from a road team on

93
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night football. So, hey, Larry, maybe you were just

94
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: taking our advice. All right, we got plenty of news

95
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: and notes to catch you up on, but first let's

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: get to that low down of the Vikings and Packers

97
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday night foot ball. Thursday night for both Vikings

98
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: and Packers at the Lambeau break Out. Running backs Matt

99
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Aciata and Jerk McKinnon leads the bikes. Well, any lady

100
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: see trying to get back on track for the path.

101
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Molly carm here, flow everybody alongside Adam Rink and as

102
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: bar Baja Biamila and we will have the latest on

103
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: the vikings in just a second. But first we hear

104
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: that in Green Bay the weather is terrible, thunderstorms projected

105
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: for this evening. How does that affect the players, and

106
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: let's be honest fantasy owners. Well, for for one, obviously

107
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: with the skill position guys, skill position guys, they always

108
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: get a little freaked out, especially when it comes to equipment,

109
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: their gloves, their cleat, they gotta go in and change

110
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: with the click size. So I think a lot of

111
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: that has to do with mentality. But I mean, if

112
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you're a road dog, you're going out their ball regardless

113
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: of the weather. All right, Well, speaking of road dugs,

114
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: we don't know about Teddy Bridgewater here. He's gonna be

115
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: an official game time decision after spring his ankle late

116
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Adam, if the rookie does play, we just

117
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: heard about the weather. What can we expect at this point?

118
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect a whole lot. North Turner had a

119
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: eight game plan last week against the Falcons, but realized

120
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: now going into this game at Green Bay on the

121
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: road limited practice, even if he was completely healthy, he's

122
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: still coming off a short week, and you see what

123
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: happens do inexperienced quarterbacks on short weeks. Look at what

124
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: happened to Kirk Cousins last week, and that's kind of

125
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: what happens. And these rookie quarterbacks. You get excited about him.

126
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: He had a great game and you want to rush

127
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: and put about it in your lineup, and realized, don't

128
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: chase the points. Keep him on your bench whether he

129
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: plays or not. He's somebody to hang on too for

130
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: later in this season. There'll be some good matchups. This

131
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: is not one of them. One thing we do know

132
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: for sure, it's whoever is at quarterback will be handing

133
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: the ball up quite a bit. Cordarrell Patterson has played

134
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: on over percent of snaps for the past two weeks.

135
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: After how does that translate into fantasy poll? I know

136
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy owners are a little nervous about

137
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Cordiville Patterson, saying that the production hasn't been there, especially

138
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: what people are anticipating from Cordiolle Patterson. But I will

139
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: tell you this, he is still the most explosive offensive

140
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: weapon that the Minnesota Vikings had. He's second right now

141
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: in receiving in Russian, so you know that that that

142
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: speaks to his versatility. And I think this is going

143
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: to be a big game for him. And here's why,

144
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings, he's starting to step up now. We saw

145
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Jarius right make a debut there, so when defensive coordinators

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: start game planning against them, they have to account for everybody. Guys.

147
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: It appears at this point that Matt Assiota and Jerk

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: McKinnon are splitting carries, with the Asiata getting the bulk

149
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: of the goal line work. What kind of numbers are

150
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: we expecting tonight? Again, whether you whether you have an

151
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: inexperienced quarterback or Christian Ponder going for you on Thursday night,

152
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna lean on a guy who has familiarity with

153
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the offense. So of course that will be Asiata, who's

154
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: played very well in in relief of Adrian Peterson and

155
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: I look for him to continue it this week against

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: the Packers. He's going to be the focal point of

157
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: that game plan. So He's the only one of these

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Vikings that I like to Let's see you all right.

159
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of seeing people, let's welcome in Michael's abano now

160
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: as we preview Thursday night football in FABS, rookie running

161
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: back Jerk McKinnon broke out with a hundred and thirty

162
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: five rushing yards last week. Who is this guy and

163
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: is he worth a looking fantasy He's certainly a guy

164
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: who needs to be roster in all fantasy leagues right now.

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Good matchup tonight based giving up the fourth most fantasy

166
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: points of running backs this year. But Moley as gotta

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: still the Vikings running back to play. McKinnon still has

168
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: issues in past protection. He's not a great receiver out

169
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: of the backfield. It could be a sloppy track tonight,

170
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: which means you want to run the workhorse, the big guy,

171
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: so as is the better play. But McKinnon is certainly

172
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: someone again who needs to be on fantasy teams right now. Alright, FATS,

173
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Let's take a look now at

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: our Vikings projections. And as you can see, it's like

175
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: it's like Super detect mobile. It's Vikings QB. It's a

176
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: little vague, but gentlemen, taking a look. Where are discrepancies here?

177
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: Obviously at quarterback. I'm not very high on either of

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: these guys going forward in this game. Cordarol Patterson. I

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more out of him.

180
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You talked about last week losing looks to Jerry's right.

181
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: The reason for that because he's open. Cornell Patterson is

182
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: not open. Patterson's gonna get open because he's going to

183
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: create that because Jerry's right and Greg Jennings, they're gonna

184
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: be doing their thing. You watch that, we shall see, gentlemen.

185
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: But we swing over to the home team now, guys,

186
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and Eddie Lacy hasn't really gotten on track yet this season,

187
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: but do you like him on this one with the

188
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Vikes on a short week. I do like Eddie Lacy

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: in this matchup. And the reason why is because when

190
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: you look at coach McCarthy last week against the Chicago Bears,

191
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: he gave him the ball a ton. In fact, he

192
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: was the only running back to get a touch, so

193
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: there was no starts. There's nobody else in the backfield

194
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey. That means that the coach knows that he

195
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: needs to get this offense in the right direction, and

196
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: the way you do that is by having a respectable

197
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: working game. This offense for the Green Bay Packers have

198
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: been up and down, and that has to do with

199
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: the fact that we haven't seen a huntry yard running

200
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: game out of this offense for Eddie Lacey. So once

201
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy gets on track, he gets his confidence right,

202
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: you'll see a totally different Eddie Lacey. And I believe

203
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: it starts in this game. I'm expecting a big game

204
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: from double dig. This will be a second game with

205
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: double digit, know, I sure hope. So as an owner,

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: let's get to the guy who will be handing the

207
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: ball off to him. That's one Aaron Rodgers. And when

208
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: we take a look now at his point totals week

209
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: by week, and guys, this is tough to predict. Come on, well,

210
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: look he's funny. Seattle. Seattle's got a great defense, especially Inconstiuent.

211
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: Inconstanc he's on the road. In Seattle, he's on the road.

212
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't pay against defense. So once they get that root,

213
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: you'll see his numbers consistently in the twenties. They're gonna

214
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: go up against his Vikings team. They're gonna be able

215
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: to throw on them. They started out to allow the

216
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: falcons that kind of move the ball through the air.

217
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: This Vikings team has played pretty well in the first

218
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but each and every week they seem

219
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: to give up a little bit more. You know, this

220
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer defense. Just a little by little, they're playing

221
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: over their heads and now they're starting to receive just

222
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. When you got a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers,

223
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna go out there and fire the ball around.

224
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: He got back on track last week against the Bears.

225
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: He's working in both Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. He's

226
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: at a high point right now. He's comfortable, everything's ready

227
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: to go. As he said last week, Relax, he's gonna

228
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: be fine. Huge night cutting r from what we saw.

229
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: The matchups matter, obviously, captains, and he's better at home.

230
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those two receivers for the Packers and

231
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobbs and Fabs. We want you

232
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: to weigh in on this. Of those two, if you

233
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: have either guy, you gotta start him right. And who

234
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: do you think is gonna have the bigger game though tonight? Well,

235
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: I'll go with Jordy Nelson here. I think it's gonna

236
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: be very close though. And Nelson and Cop just like

237
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: you said, they're guys you have to start weekend and

238
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: week out. They're both in the top five and Fantasy

239
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: points among wide receivers. But Miley, listen to this stat.

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson has put up fewer than sixty five yards

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: in all five home games he's played against the Vikings,

242
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: and in those five home games, he has been held

243
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: without a touchdown four times. I'm not saying you betch

244
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. I'd just like to play with the numbers.

245
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: So those numbers are not a good trend for Nelson

246
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: at home against Minnesota. Okay, so we should curb our

247
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: enthusiasm there and temper those expectations real quick, Adam, before

248
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: we let you guys go here. The big discrepancy I

249
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: see is with you and Michael here with Eddie Lacy,

250
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Why are you so long on it. I don't really

251
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: think that's a discrepancy. I think we both have similar

252
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: yardage for him sixty nine yards and a touchdown for

253
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Michael that would be sixty seven yards for me. Freddy

254
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: Lacey and what I'm doing there is. I'm predicting that

255
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown is not going to him. I'm saying it's

256
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: a John qun game because we always talk about that, like,

257
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: how can we predict when Conon's gonna get into the

258
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: end zone. I'm predicting it right now. He scores a

259
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: touch of this because it's a time of thing. You

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: get a touch last week, it's that time of the year.

261
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: Do we ret least expected way to be aggressive? Alright,

262

Speaker 1: good s, thank you so much. Tonight Thursday Night Football

267
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: Huma man, all right, thank you. Time to get everyone

268
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: caught up on the latest news from around the NFL,

269
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and we start FABS in Cleveland, Ohio, where Brown said.

270
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: Coach Mike Petton said that Bentate is on course to

271
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: play and start against the Titans, not to has not

272
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: played since Week one with a knee injury. Terrence West

273
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Crowell have played well in his absence. So

274
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: will we see a committee? Well, Petton said, dividing running

275
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: back reps is quote not an easy problem. It's an

276
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: issue so fast. What is a fantasy owner to do.

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Let's just get all three guys start or sit. Bent

278
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: takes to start as a flex. Titans have not been

279
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: good against the run. Remember what de Marco Murray did

280
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: to them a few years a few weeks back, So

281
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: he's the guy that I'm starting. Isaiah Crowell to me,

282
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: is more of a flex something like that, A little

283
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: bit less value right now than bent Tate and Terence West.

284
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: I've seen reports that he's now third on the depth chart.

285
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: If that's true. Really hard to start this guy. I

286
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: guess what you say. Money plays could be the situation

287
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: there for bent Tait if he plays well, because he's

288
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: going to get the start, he could be the guy

289
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: who sees cars. Yeah. Well, good news is only two

290
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: teams on a by and one has no running backs

291
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: that you're starting anyway the rads in Chicago. Bears wide

292
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: receiver Brandon Marshall is practicing in full this week, the

293
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: first full go practice since re injuring his ankle against

294
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: the Jets in Week three so expect him to bounce

295
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: back from two down weeks as the Bear's head to

296

00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: not just the great players. To take a never before

309
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: seen look inside the life of an NFL scout finding Giants,

310
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: watch an advanced premiere of an all new episode tonight

311
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: after the post game, only on NFL Network. Time for

312
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Coaching Decisions presented by Lenovo. Four weeks into the season,

313
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: some of the players we spent high draft picks on

314
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: just have not lived up to expectations. So we're leaving

315
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: owners with very tough decisions week to week. Here to

316
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: coach you up off Barbaja Biamila and Michael Fabriano. Well,

317
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: how you go first? Who are you gonna start Matthew

318
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Stafford against the Bills? Are Nick Foles against the Rams?

319
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: This is an easy one for me. The Rams have

320
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: been really tough against quarterbacks on the road lately, so

321
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm going with Matthew Stafford thirteen total touchdowns five inutes

322
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: sections in his last five games against the a f C.

323
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: The Bills have given up nine touchdown passes in their

324
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: last three road games against the NFC. I really like

325
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: Stafford this week. I say he poked up a very

326
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: big number for your fantasy football team. Yeah, it looks

327
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: like he's gonna have a big game. Their fabs are

328
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: who would you start Victor Cruz against the Falcons or

329
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen at home against the Jets. Well, you know,

330
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: I know that kem Nollen looked really did last week,

331
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: but that was because they were going up against the

332
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm gonna go with Victor Cruze. Victor Cruze

333
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: to me, he's starting to really get it now. I

334
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: think he's kind of out of that Kevin Gilbride mindset

335
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: down and into the West Coast offense of Ben McAdoo,

336
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: their new offensive coordinator. This whole offense is predicated on timing.

337
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: And I told you earlier in the season that once

338
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: he got the rhythm down that he and Eli Manning

339
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: were gonna be just fine. And that's what we're starting

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: to see now with Eli, excuse me, with Victor Cruze.

341
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: He's comfortable, he's in sync with his quarterback. For every

342
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: step he's taken back, he's taking that step in his routes.

343
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Very good for for Victor Cruz. We're gonna see another

344
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: double digit game from him, Yeah, no question. We saw

345
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: that last week. And facts, who you start c J.

346
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Spiller on the road in Motown or his teammate get

347
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. I do not trust c J. Spiller as

348
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: far as I can draw him. I'm five eight about

349
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: a hundred season in Detroit. I understand, I understand. I'm

350
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: going to Reggie Bush here. Reggie has averaged a hundred

351
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: seventeen scrimma yards in his last ten home games. He

352
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: also has five total touchdowns. In five career games against Buffalo.

353
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't trust Spiller and honestly, Fred Jackson's risked this

354
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: week to the Troy It's really good against the run

355
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: at home. All right, Reggie Bush, it is Thank you, gentlemen.

Speaker 1: on the show. Rank you're gonna go first. This is

374
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Joscelin from cow State Fullerton, Zata to Alpha Zeta. There

375
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: we got partner with the NFL during Breast cancer Awareness Month.

376
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Russell Wilson here at quarterback. There's

377
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: really no need to have two quarterbacks. Russell Wilson against

378
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: the Jacks. I like it's a different beast now. Blake

379
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: Portal is a little bit more compa. They're gonna hold

380
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: the ball over the stock Rishan Jennings obviously, each and

381
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: every week, her biggest question right here comes with a

382
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: running back. Of course, Mark Ingram is injured, Nile Davis

383
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: part time guy, Terence West part time guys. So you

384
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: really have to go with Chris Johnson. You don't feel

385
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: great about it hard time? You know what simpatica. I

386
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I gotta do the same thing in a couple of leagues,

387
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: stuck with Chris Johnson. But look at this is where

388
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: she makes it up a corporate. She's already got Jimmy Graham,

389
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: but she's gonna go with a j Green the Marius

390
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: Thomas clearly, and I would normally flex Mike Wallace. But

391
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: of course the Dolphins are on a by this week,

392
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, of those part time running backs, and you

393
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: have not set a defense has got two of them?

394
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: Are there? We go no with Cincinnati each and every week.

395
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: There's no reason, no reason to carry two quarterbacks, no

396
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: reason to carry two defenses, especially when you have a

397
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: guy like Russell will start. It's good looking line up.

398
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: Like you said, you give up a little bit at

399
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: the running back position, but you certainly make tight end

400
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: with Green Thomas, Jimmy Grhant. Way to go, Joscelyn Zada's

401
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: all right, I now have the line up for Jason

402
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: he drafted Andrew Luck. You don't need to have two quarterbacks,

403
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: only one kicker, Justin Tucker and the Detroit defense against

404
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Morton and those Buffalo Bills. So let's get to

405
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: the running backs. Some people say we can't start Alfred

406
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Morris against the CLC Hawks. I say, hogwash. You're not

407
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: one of those exactly. It's too early to start predicting

408
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: those trends. Cal Morris is a number one back, and

409
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: after all the interceptions that Kirk Cousins through, guess what,

410
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: John Gruden. J Gruden, I should say it's gonna play

411
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more conservative, and I love Al Morris

412
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: in his zone read, run scheme, zone block, and I

413
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: should say running scheme. You see it right there, there's

414
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a whole lot of that against the Seawks. Look,

415
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: they're a tough run dye, but Alfred Morris is a

416
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: number one back. He's got a shot to be a

417
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: top five running back. And here on the road, Yeah,

418
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: so here we go next running back. I will go yes,

419
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: Zack Stacey, Absolutely, I will. I will go ahead and

420
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: start Zack Stacey. I like, look, they've settled on a quarterback.

421
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: Brian Quick seems to be taking the top off the defense.

422
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like Stacy can get you some yards

423
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: there now in the flex position. You know what, I'll

424
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: set the wide receiver's first, because clearly we'll do Michael Crabtree.

425
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: That's a good matchup against Kansas City j Jonesy're gonna

426
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: start Julio Jones every single week for the tight ends. Look,

427
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: I have been hesitant on Delaney Walker. He's proved me

428
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: wrong every step of the way. So Delaney Walker it

429
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: is over. Dwayne Allen. Even though I love what Andrew

430
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: like does. But you know you got Luck there. So

431
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: how about this, We'll go Reggie Wayne over one of

432
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: those running backs over Kyrie Robinson attempted to Yeah, I'm

433
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna go Reggie Lane into the flex position. So there

434
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: we go, Andrew Luck, al more, Zach Stacy, Michael Crabtree,

435
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Julio solid, it's a solid D plus. My gosh, I'm

436
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: so tempted to take Zach Stacy out, but you know what,

437
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's

438
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: take Zach Stacy out. I'm gonna put Toby Yes. You

439
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: know why, because the Pittsburgh Steelers have be given up

440
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: three three rushing touchdowns this season to running backs, and

441
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: you said it, it's a new era in Jacksonville with

442
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: Blake Portals. I'm with you. There you go. Jason coming up.

443
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: Akbar is going inside the numbers to break down why

444
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: we should not be surprised to see more performances like

445
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: what we saw in Week four from Ravens wide receiver

446
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: Steve Smith Sr. And with Andre Ellington coming off a

447
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: bye week, Michael Fabiano says he's a must start versus

448
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Find out what other running backs are must

449
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: starts this week when NFL Fantasy Live returns. Welcome back

450
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. Molly Caram here alongside Akbar Bosja

451
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: bi Emila, and we're going to go inside the numbers

452
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: as we set your lineups for a week five. So

453
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: take a look at the running backs and wide receivers

454
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: who account for the highest percentage of their team's total yardage.

455
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: I had to call them the workhorses here. One to

456
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Marco Murray and clearly, uh that team has been happens.

457
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean when he's involved there. Levian Bell also huge impact.

458
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Matt poor table. Let's focus on Emmanuel Sanders

459
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: for a minute. He's a newcomer in Denver, but he

460
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: has been great in the first three weeks there. Why

461
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: has he been so effective for this team? Well, his

462
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: ability to run routes. And I think that's the biggest

463
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: thing for Emmanuel Sanders. And when you talk about Peyton Manny,

464
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: he wants to be able to trust his wide receiver.

465
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: And you're gonna look at this. This is against the

466
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: legion of poolm this is man to man coverage. Peyton

467
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: Manny recognizes his immediately and says, well, I know I've

468
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: got a one or one matchup with Richard Sherman. So

469
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: what's the best way to defeat a guy like Richard Sherman,

470
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: a legion of boom. You want to pick rocks kind

471
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: of like in basketball setting a pick, but you've got

472
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: to be able to explode through this pick. And that's

473
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: what Emmanuel Sanders does. And he's available for his for

474
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: his quarterback, Peyton Manny, and he will develop that type

475
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: of trust in him. And again you look at his

476
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: cover three. You're gonna see Maxwell here at the top

477
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: right now open up his hit, trying to funnel him

478
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: to that safety. But no, Sanders finds the open space

479
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: in that cover three. He's able to get the balls. Again,

480
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: that's the trust. Now watch this, you were the well

481
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: look at this, just shaking him right there, doing the

482
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: Allen iverson on him. Let's look at this again. Let's

483
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: look at this again. When you're Peyton Manny and you

484
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: see your guy juking the heck out of Gregg toler

485
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: like this and making this hit and do the crazy,

486
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you better believe you're gonna be outstanding. And

487
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: that's why many Sanders and Peyton Manny, these guys have

488
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: an excellent chemistry, excellent chemistry right now. No, certainly tremendous

489
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: effort there. And going into the season, the big thing

490
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: was can he replace the West Welker? Obviously West is

491
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: back and could he potentially be even better? But he's

492
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: had such an impact on that team. And talking about

493
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: familiar faces in new places, there's another newcomer cooking up

494
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: some big numbers there and new digs, quite a few

495
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: of them. Let's take a look right now, Ahmad Bradshaw,

496
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Rashawn Jennings, Steve Smith Senior. We saw the performance he

497
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: put up the other day and Darren Sprawls and if

498
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: you can see their fantasy points, they're all over fifty

499
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: except for Darren Scrolls forty one. And then look at

500
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: their position ranks. Jens, I mean came out of nowhere

501
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: and nonna look where he's position number five. That's huge

502
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: for Rashad Jennings. Yeah, and the Giants really needed help

503
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: with that running game and he stepped in so nicely.

504
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: And we know and Darren Sprowls is certainly being missed

505
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: there in New Orleans. All right, so let's go talk

506
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: a quick second about Steve Smith. And why has he

507
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: been able to be so effective besides having that chip

508
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Well, I think it really is. It

509
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: really comes down to the chip that's on his shoulder.

510
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: He's there, he's aggressive. We've seen him stiff arm a

511
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: couple of defensive back but more importantly, his quarterback trust him.

512
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Look at this route right here. This is what they

513
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: call a China count combination here, a D seven whatever

514
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: you want to call. They want to run this route

515
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: to get this seven route which is coming from the

516
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: tight end over the top, so they can hit the

517
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: tight end. But no, what is Steve Smith. He's savvy

518
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: enough to know. Then, Look, I need to get out

519
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: of this route here because there's a little moving from

520
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Steve Smith just happens to be at the

521
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. That's big. But this

522
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: is where you know that there's chemistry and trust. What

523
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: is Joe Flackle? See here? Oh, I see a man

524
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: up high. That must mean man to man coverage on

525
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: Steve Smith. I'm betting on my man to beat him

526
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: one on one. I dropped the ball. If I can

527
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: just get to my utility belt into order to get

528
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: to your utility belt, you have to trust your wide receiver.

529
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: And guess who's there right there, Steve Smith. That's why

530
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: he's been able to be because he's there, He's available.

531
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: Whenever Joe Flacco goes to his utility belt. That man

532
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: right there, Steve Smith is doing his thing. It's incredible.

533
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: He's the number one guy. He's a surpassed Tory Smith

534
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: there and we heard what Yeah, we heard what he

535
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: said after the game. Listen, I'm thirty five years old

536
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: and I'm making a running around these guys. What did

537
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: he say, like school kids? Oh? Yeah, school, it's like

538
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: a schoolyard. That was tremendous act for great stuff. Thank

570
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,120

00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: going to your high school, you very well maybe the

572
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: most famous alumnus. Well, you are the most famous alumnus

573
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: of Pope John Paul the second high School. Let's get

574
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: started with your trip to Detroit from Seattle. How are

575
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: you acclimating? How is that offense? And how happy are

576
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: you that they are a well a vertical style offense.

577
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm loving this so far. You know, winter hasn't rolled

578
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: around yet, so it's probably why I'm loving it still.

579
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: But uh, as far as the football part of I'm

580
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: loving everything about it. You know. I love coach Carlwell,

581
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: his coaching style, uh and how he how we practice.

582
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: I love the guys in the locker room. And Joe

583
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: Lombardi's offense is tremendous for me. I think I fit

584
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: perfectly into it. Um. I think I've been thriving. I

585
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: think I can do more, and uh, you know it

586
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: does it doesn't. It doesn't hurt to have Calvin on

587
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: the opposite side. You had a great week for against

588
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: the Jets. How difficult is it adjusting to a new

589
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: quarterback when you change teams? Obviously, Matt Stafford very good.

590
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: But how how comfortable do you feel now? I feel

591
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: really comfortable. I think we're still working. I still think

592
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: we have some work to do until we are on

593
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: the same page completely, but I think we are heading

594
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Um. As you know, Staffer can

595
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: make any throw in the field, which is which is great.

596
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: He can see everything uh and short and including my

597
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: five tin stature, so you know, he finds way it

598
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: gets me the ball. And then most importantly, there's times

599
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: where I think I'm covered, but he throws me open.

600
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: So as a receiver, you gotta love that. Now, you

601
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: mentioned Calvin Johnson Megatron of what it's like to play

602
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: alongside him, opposite of him. You were the number one

603
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: in Seattle, so I'm guessing you saw some double coverage

604
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of attention. How different has that

605
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: been for you through these four games having him on

606
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. You know what the

607
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: game him. I don't know if I'm growing up or

608
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: if it's him or the offensive. The play calling, but

609
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: the game seems a bit easier having him on the field.

610
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: He draws a lot of tension, and I don't even

611
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: understand why. He's like, he's like top five worst player

612
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: in the league right now, So it's weird. But you know,

613
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: he's such a great athlete and he makes catches that

614
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I said. I mean, I sit there and watching film like, wow, God,

615
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: you you blessed him a lot. But uh, you know,

616
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: it's the offense has been it's it's it's opened up.

617
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, we still are trying to figure out some things.

618
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: But you know, for the most part, I try to

619
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: compliment him, and he definitely compliments me. You are playing

620
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: the Bills this week, something we wouldn't qualify as a

621
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: rivalry game, but you went to Notre Dame, so there's

622
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: built in rivalries there. How about this, let's go back

623
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: to your Seattle days. What was a more intense game

624
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: when you're on the field San Francisco, Seattle or I'll

625
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: go how about Notre Dame USC. I'd have to say Seattle,

626
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I mean that that. You know, it's a

627
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: it's another level. Uh, you know, we both were best

628
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: in the division, best best in the league at that

629
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: at that time, so I definitely have to go Seattle,

630
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco. What's the game plan this week for the Bills?

631
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: How are you planning on attacking that defense? Um, We're

632
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna just continue to do what we do. Uh, you know,

633
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we ever need to change who we

634
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: are as a team. I think as long as we

635
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: played discipline, fundamental football, we have a great chance of

636
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: winning along with you know, limiting, limiting penalties and also

637
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: no turnovers and getting a few turnovers. But uh, you know,

638
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: Calvin should be back on the field. You know, we're

639
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: learning more about the offense and we're just trying to

640
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: get better every day. I think the way we practice,

641
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: it's hard for us not to get better. And you know,

642
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: I think right now only think we only problem we

643
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 1: have right now as injuries were struggling there. But uh,

644
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: for the most part, we're just we're just gonna do

645
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: what we do Golden Uh. We are, of course a

646
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: fantasy show, so it's all about those touchdowns and the

647
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: six points you get. Joe Fourier was a touchdown machine

648
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: last year. As his dancing prowess would suggest, you don't

649
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: have any pup beaes that you're trying to potty train

650
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: right around now right because a lot of people are

651
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 1: starting you this week against Buffalo. Uh no, no, I'm

652
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and give them my all, especially

653
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: for the fantasy owners, because we know the world has

654
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: turned into fantasy only unless you actually play in the NFL.

655
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: But uh, you know I didn't. I didn't get a

656
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: chance to pick up myself this year in fantasy because

657
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Don don Riola picked me up pretty early, and I

658
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: was expecting myself to be hanging around until the eighth

659
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: and ninth round in my own league because I thought

660
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: they would have some respect here. But I didn't get

661
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: a chance to pick myself up. But I do have

662
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: a decent team, although my record does not say that.

663
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: Who are your receivers? Steve Smith, uh Dee Hopkins, Damaris Thomas,

664
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin and those are those are a few of them.

665
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: So Percy Harvin, you've got some insight there. I assume

666
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: you expected big things out of him because you left Seattle.

667
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: How more touches more opportunities for him. Absolutely, I figured

668
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball just about every other play um,

669
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: and they've gotten the ball a lot um, you know,

670
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: and this is a non flex league for me, so uh,

671
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's getting the ball out of the backfield.

672
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: He's getting the ball, you know, on on short, intermediate,

673
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: high percentage plays, and he's fast, he can run, so

674
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: h you know, he's been pretty productive until last week

675
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: when they had to buy. Of course, I think I

676
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: saw Fred Jackson in that lineup. Are you gonna have

677
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: to bet you gotta bench him this week? You can't

678
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: have them in there. Yeah, I'm gonna have to bench him.

679
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Mother running back is Doug Martin, uh and Frank Gore.

680
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: So I'm in a I gotta vive a dilemma. And

681
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback to Tom Brady. What are you gonna do?

682
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna put him on waivers? I mean you're gonna

683
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: keep rolling with Brady. He's ranked thirty two and Fantasy

684
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: points to season. I don't know, man, Tom Brady has

685
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: not been very impressive at all this year in Fantasy.

686
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: But I do have Joe Flacco who's been putting up numbers.

687
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: So I think it's time for me to make the change. Uh.

688
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: I seem it seems like him and Steve Smith have it.

689
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Haven't figured that figured out. So if they're throwing, if

690
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: if Flacco is throwing Steve Smith touchdowns, I'm getting double points.

691
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll finish it with this Golden. We saw

692
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the receivers. You've got a couple of good receivers on

693
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. A lot of people looking to Golden

694
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Tate this week after that a hundred yard performance last week.

695
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: If you had Golden Tate on your team, would you

696
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: insert him in your lineup over those receivers you have

697
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: this week? I personally would because I have a lot

698
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: of confidence in myself and I love this offense, and

699
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: I think I'm due for a touchdown. But we'll see.

700
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: But that's why they call it fantasy football. That's right,

701
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: it's our fantasy. You are part of it. About being

702
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone with us on this one. Golden,

703
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: We appreciate your time. Congratulations on all your success the

704
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship last year. Off to a good start

705
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: in Detroit. We wish your luck against the Buffalo Bills.

706
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your time. Absolutely thanks for

707
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: having me, guys. Thanks all right, there he goes the

Speaker 1: Just find out who we expect to break away from

714
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: the pack when NFL Fantasy Live rolls up tomorrow. Warren

715
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Moon was as physically gifted as any quarterback, but prejudices

716
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: almost robbed him of opportunity until his talent proved he

717
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: belonged with the best. Warren Moon of Football Live tomorrow

718
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: at nine pm Eastern only on NFL Network. Pay back

719
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: to catch and he's a happy man. Calvin Benjamin's what

720
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: a catch touchdown? Touchdown hair catch by Jeremy Alright. Four

721
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: weeks down, twelve ago in the fantasy season. It's too

722
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: early to hand out any hardware, but it's never too

723
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: early to make predictions. So let's get started by taking

724
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: a look at our nominees for Fantasy Rookie of the Year.

725
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: And again, this is just the quarter poll, so we

726
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: are projecting if all stats hold, these are the four

727
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: gentlemen we'll be talking about at the end of this season.

728
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: In that week, seventeen our awards season, which direction you're

729
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: going rank? The RNN is projecting Kelvin Benjamin will be

730
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: the Rookie of the Year, the Fantasy Rookie of the Year,

731
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: because this guy has been dominant as a number one receiver.

732
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: He walked into a situation where there was absolutely no

733
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: discernible talent or anybody to go to here, but he's

734
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: emerged as a number one option. And as you saw

735
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: it last week, he's going up against Jimmy Smith and

736
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: he's all right there in the video. He's going against

737
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: team's best cornerbacks, the number one guys. He's the guy

738
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: that they're game planning against, and he's still flourishing. And

739
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Benjamin is only going to get better. As soon as

740
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton gets a little bit more acclimated, a

741
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: little bit healthier, this team is, it's gonna start rising.

742
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: And we all love and by we, I mean everybody

743
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: that has ever played fantasy football, are really invested in anything,

744
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: loves return on investment. That's the most important thing. So

745
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: here we go, Fantasy Value Pick of the Year nominee.

746
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: He's return on your men to late round investment. You

747
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: see him, Calvin Benjamin. We just talked about as a

748
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: rookie waiver wire in a number of leagues. Martellis Bennett,

749
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: the well always dearth of tight end position, uh and

750
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, Jeremy Macklin, who was the number one receiver

751
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: there in Philadelphia. How about an Akbar who who gets

752
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: the nod from you. A lot of good names, but

753
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with the tight end Martellis Bennett.

754
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: And you think about where he was going in the draft,

755
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: He's going real late. I mean, this is the most

756
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: interesting tight end in the NFL right now, outside of

757
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: the fact that he's an author and he's got a

758
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: book coming out in March. He is an excellent tight end.

759
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. He and Jay Cutler right now,

760
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: he's the top dog right now in Chicago. You think

761
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, you think, of course alshon Jeffrey. He leaves

762
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: the team with twenty nine receptions two hundred nineties something yards.

763
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: That's a big time and wise because he's abusing the

764
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: guys at the linebacker and safety position. I spoke with

765
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: him this morning and he's telling me that he really

766
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: put it all together. He said, the thing that he's

767
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: doing now that he wasn't doing is that he's using

768
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: his speed to power and he's exploding every single play.

769
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: Here we're looking at the nominee is for Fantasy Waiver

770
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Wire Pickup of the Year. Hard to argue as Steve

771
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: Smith Senior, as he is leaving all receivers in point

772
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: production right now. But I'll take this one, guys. I mean,

773
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: if Larry Dennell is not going to start himself, why

774
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: am I going to pick him to win an award?

775
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: Take that? Now, He's gonna take a Mod Bradshaw. And

776
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: this is me projecting again, That's what we're doing here.

777
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: We're predicting because he's playing with what looks to be

778
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: the m v P of the league, Andrew Luck. And

779
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: I like that playoff schedule with the Cowboys in the

780
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and yes, the Cowboys defense is playing better,

781
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: but I just envision Week sixteen. You're in the final

782
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: game and a Mod Bradshaw and Andrew Luck go off

783
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: for like fifty five points against the Cowboys, and you

784
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, oh, teams that won their Super

785
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: Bowl of them had a Mod Bradshaw on their team. Certainly,

786
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: there looks to be some sort of chemistry at Reggie

787
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Wayne su chemistry between these two, and I suspect it

788
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: will continue through the rest of the season. Plus, he's,

789
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: you know, a running back and those guys get hurt

790
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: all the time, and he's healthy right now. All right,

791
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Player of the Year. Well, we just mentioned Andrew Luck.

792
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: Maybe the m v P. How about it, fans, you'd

793
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: take the big one? Well at bar. I didn't talk

794
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: to Andrew Luck on the phone this morning, but I

795
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: did say he was gonna be the quarterback to break

796
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: in the top three this year. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees

797
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: and Nearon Rodgers, and he's the m v P. There's

798
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Right now, it's twenty two more

799
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points than the second best player, who is Matt

800
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Ryan and guys, right now, Luck is on pace for

801
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: over passing yards and fifty six let me say that again,

802
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: fifty totals a lot of touch total touchdowns at Lawrence Taylor.

803
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: He is the guy that next year people are going

804
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: to be drafting in the first round at the quarterback position.

805
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Calvin Benjamin, Martellis Bennett, Ahmad

806
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Bradshaw and Andrew Luck. I would say we would suggest

807
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: you trade for them of the season. This year, the

808
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Player of the Year will be awarded at NFL Honors,

814
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: on the fence about starting Larry Fitzgerald, Well, we just

00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: so happened to have the Hall of Famer Michael Bobbian

823
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,359

Speaker 1: fifty five. Check it out at NFL dot com slash

825
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: record Breaker and hey, hey everybody, we're gonna try and

826
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: give you a leg up on this record Breakers game

827
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Live and Akar Peyton Manning as

828
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, holds the single season record with fifty

829
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: five touchdown passes big time for sure. That averages to

830
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: about three and a half per game. So who has

831
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: the best shot at scoring four touchdowns this week? You know,

832
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna have to go with a pick that

833
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: most people won't look at. I'm gonna have to go

834
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton. You call him Red Dalton. The reason

835
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: why I look at his matchup, his matchup against the

836
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: New England Patriots is one that's intriguing to me because

837
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: if you remember, if you go back and watch film,

838
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: we saw Dwayne Bow get off on on the New

839
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: England Patriots, and I think that this is an abuse

840
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: and beat up defense. And he did that against Durell Reavers.

841
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: So what do you think of course number eighteen A J.

842
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: Green is gonna do against a guy like Darell Reavers.

843
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna ball out big time. He's gonna

844
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: get four touchdowns. This is an aggressive pick, I must say,

845
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: because here's the one thing, and I don't have the

846
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: exact statistics, I'd like to see they had such a

847
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: bad loss on Monday night that the Patriots are going

848
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: to drop another one like that. You're gone. You are

849
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: going to see that. And yes, this is just counting

850
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 1: him out right now. Bulletin board material. Yeah, my quote

851
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be up on their bulletin board. I'm sure

852
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: of it. Oh gosh, all right, Adam, I'm having too

853
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: much fun. This is said. Fammitting holds the record for

854
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: this season passing yards with five thousand, four hundred and

855
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: seventy seven, so that average is out to three yards

856
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: per game. I'm good at Matt. So who's the best

857
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: shot at Ucation Public School? All right, I'm gonna go

858
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. I like this matchup going up against

859
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: the Bucks. If you look at Breeze historically against this team, Hey, listen,

860
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: he's he does very well against his club. And this

861
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: is their second home game in five weeks. It seems

862
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: weird that they've flit. They've been on the road so

863
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: much this season. But Breeze is a much better quarterback

864
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: at home. He sees this great matchup. They struggled a

865
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: little bit. And you talk about a team that you

866
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: don't want to count out, I'm counting out the Patriots.

867
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: I Am not counting out the Saints. There's too much

868
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: pride on this team, and now they are going to

869
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: turn things around. They've got great skilled players, guys like

870
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, guys like Brandon Cooks. That's the difference. That's

871
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: why I don't count them out because they have so

872
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: many weapons to go to and Breeze is gonna spread

873
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: it around. He's gonna throw for four hundred and twelve

874
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: yards a bar. Listen to me, four twelve Okay, you

875
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: guys on Monday Night football and on Sunday Night football

876
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: to just okay, just check all right, a bar. If

877
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: you're looking to be Eric Dickerson's rushing record of two

878
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: thousand one five yards, you need to wrap up an

879
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: average of one hundred and twenty two yards per game

880
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: on the ground. So who's your pick four Week five?

881
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna have to go with a really

882
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: good pick and an outstanding running back. And this is

883
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 1: an easy one, but it's gonna be Levion Bell. Levion

884
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: Bell against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Really seriously, of course, what

885
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: else do you expect for him to do against this

886
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense that hasn't really been good? But outside of that,

887
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: think about let's talk about Levian Bell. He is getting

888
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of touches in the red zone. And

889
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: when you talk about his red zone touches right now,

890
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: he's second in the NFL right now, tied for second

891
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL red zone touches. And that's not only

892
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: just getting the ball and carrying the ball, but that's

893
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: also being thrown too. So I look at his production

894
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: and just know that he can walk all over the

895
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Sorry Jacksonville, but that's what's gonna happen with

896
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. He's gonna get a ton of touchdowns. Yeah,

897
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: this one's a no brainer. The others I'll be watching, gentlemen,

898
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: I'll be tweeting your names because Donald Brown smoked him

899
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: last weekend. Good stuff, gentlemen. So, as for the week

900
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: five leaders in receiving yards will be Calvin Johnson or

901
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: a J. Green or perhaps a dark horse contender. Well

Speaker 1: You do it for the people you posted every week

915
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: at NFL dot com. It only takes you, I don't

916
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: know about half the week to put together. It's your

917
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: labor of love, Babs. Let's get it started with the

918
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: tight ends. Walk us through it. I am sticking with

919
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: Martelli Spenne even though it's gonna be in October game.

920
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: Greg Olson against Chicago is old team, guys. I'm sitting

921
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: Jared Cook Zacher to struggle than the last couple of weeks.

922
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: And Jason Witten He's been on my sinnam list all year.

923
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: But let's go back to Antonio Gates money. Honestly, the

924
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: last two games he's done zero. So if you can't

925
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: exploit this matchup against the Jets, it's gonna be time

926
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: to put him back on the bench. The Jets have

927
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: a lot the fourth most fantasy points to tight ends

928
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, and Gates has four touchdowns

929
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: in his last three home games, so it's a good matchup.

930
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: If he doesn't do it here, Gates is going back

931
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: to the place where he was last year, the bench. Yeah,

932
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: and we said it like two weeks ago. Well you

933
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: have to start him. Well now with Travis Kelsey and

934
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: with Larry Dinnelle, we do have some Delaney Walker options.

935
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: Where are you don't necessarily have to start him? All right,

936
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Let's go start sits wide receivers Fabs, Keenan Allen back

937
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: to back great matchups, Stardom, Michael Crabtree, great matchup against

938
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Eric Decker forever on my sit list until

939
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: further notice, even though he had a touchdown last week

940
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson went an awful matchup. But let's talk

941
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: about Larry Fitzgerald. This was once an elite wide receiver

942
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: in Fantasy football, a second or third rounder across the board,

943
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even close. But right now he has

944
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: no touchdowns in six straight games. He has two point

945
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: nine fantasy points per game this year. That's awful and

946
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: this is not a good matchup against the Bronco is either.

947
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: They've been tough at home against wide receivers and Fitzgerald

948
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: at this point is on pace for the worst numbers

949
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: of his entire NFL career. Not even six hundred yards

950
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: is projected for Larry Fitzgerald based on what he's done

951
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: money or hasn't done so far this year. Andrew Stanton

952
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: still started. It looks like that maybe long term because

953
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: of the injury to Carson palmers shoulder. Right here we

954
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: go to the running backs, and while speaking of Larry

955
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's teammate Andrey Allington, right there, he's there, Rashad Jennings

956
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: against the worst run defense of the National Football League

957
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: XACT Station's a great play against the Eagles, Guys. I'm

958
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: sitting Monte Ball. Arizona's run defense is very, very tough.

959
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller. Listen, that two thousand and twelve season

960
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: seems to be uh sort of an afterthought now he

961
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been a very good fantasy for the last year plus.

962
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: But let's go back to your boy Ellington year. I

963
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: really like this match up against the Broncos. They have

964
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of average of what it's twenty two fantasy

965
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: points per game the running backs in their last four

966
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: home games, and in those four home games, the Broncos

967
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: have given up at least one rushing touchdown. Ellington not

968
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: on pace to have a big season. I think it's

969
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna change in Week five. Stardom as your r B

970
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: two or flex all right, Now, the always well, I

971
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: shouldn't say always elusive, but I had a feeling who

972
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: was going to be at the top of your sit

973
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: on list, fads, and that brings up a and awfully

974
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: compelling conversation. But start us off with the starts of

975
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Philip Rivers has been hot. Another great matchup,

976
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: this time against the Jets. Ben Roethlisberger is gonna make

977
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: it two big games in a row against teams that

978
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: come from the state of Florida. Guys, I'm sitting yeah,

979
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: Ellen mannings on that board. Atlanta does not give up

980
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns on the road, at least not

981
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: lately in their last seven road games. Now, let's go

982
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady and Britty has been one of the

983
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in fantasy football for a very long time.

984
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know that this is not the end

985
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: for Britty. From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't scored thirteen

986
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: points in a game all year long. The Bengals are

987
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: one of the best past defenses in the league, allowing

988
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: your third fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, They've

989
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: given up one or fewer touchdown passes and four of

990
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: their last five road games. And honestly, money, Brady's offensive

991
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: line looks bad. And let's be honest, Brady looks bad

992
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and I'll tell you what fat you

993
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: can point to whatever you want. The offensive line, the

994
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: lack of targets. If you are in a two quarterback league,

995
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 1: and this is you are in a two quarterback league,

996
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: we would advise you not to start. I would start

997
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: Austin Davis and Blake Bordles ahead of the league. Alright, well,

998
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: that is Michael Fabiano stardom and set him and again

999
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: you can get them all at NFL dot Com. Right.

1000
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live will be back on NFL Network Friday
