Speaker 1: daily fantasy lineups this week, and we'll also ask our

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: nerd about quarterback play since the year two thousand. We

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: got that and plenty more in this show. But as

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: we always do about this time, we'll talk to our

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy Esquire and murph uh

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. You guys are playing in the Marquee College

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: football game of the weekend. You gotta be excited about

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: that one. I am ultra jacked up. Um, you know,

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: besides the fact that the Pack twelve is coming back

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: to see your Chrojan's play and it's the conference I

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: love watching glad about that. But yeah, I mean, obviously

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I want Trevor Lawrence healthy and I want to play

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: to Lawrence, want to beat the best. It's always better

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: to do that, it feels better. But um, the funny

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: thing about college football is like, so you know the

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys have their quarterbacks go down and their backups are

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, mediocre to below average college football. You know,

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: DJ steps in, he's a five star recruit. He was,

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: he was the top quarterback, and then you know the

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: recruiting class like he's a good player. So it's not

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: like you get you know, you're not. There's not that

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: much drop off like you see in the NFL. So, um,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: you know they I gotta hope for some turnovers from

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: from DJ, and that's just the Notre Dame offensive line

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: controls the clock and they just pound Clempson. I think

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: would be a really, really good game despite Trevor Larrence

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: not playing. It's it's amazing to watch some of these

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: college programs just retool at quarterback. I mean, look at

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the run Alabama went through, the fact that Oklahoma put

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: out back to back high has been winners, and they've

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: got another guy who's on the running for the Heisman

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: this year. Like it is, it is a different world

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: in college football and they can just retool. But yeah,

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: this should be a lot of fun. So I'm sure

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be locked in for this one. And at least, look,

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: it takes your mind off off of Sunday too, right,

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly right. Yeah, I don't have to worry

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: about the Giants as much. Although the funny thing is

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: it's it's the one TEENA Washingtons, the team that Daniel

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: Jones does be. It's only them and the box and

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: we just missed on beating the Bucks. So, um, I

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: I do expect a Giant's victory. Um, but I will

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: be honest, I am hoping more for a Notre Dame victory.

53
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll see what I get out of

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: this weekend. I appreciate that. I mean, you know Notre

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Dame that he has a Uh, they have more to

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: play for I think at this point in the season

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: than the Giants do. So I understand sort of pushing

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: your ships under that part of the table. So we

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: will check it out. Should be a fun weekend of

60
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: college football, no doubt. Let's turn down to the NFL

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: and to help us do that. We'll bring in our

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: pal Michael F. Florio and I know Floria for you,

63
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this. College football in in your

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: part of the country isn't necessarily a big thing. But

65
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: is there something in particular this weekend that you are

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: looking forward to? Well, yeah, outside of sports maybe, but

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: also of the Mets. Now are are officially going to

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: be owned. It looks like us today by the richest

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: owner in baseball, a guy who can flip the Yankees

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, just for fun. So I uh,

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about that this week and that's gonna

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: have me pretty exciting. Yeah, I did. I've never got

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: a chance to ask you about that. Steve Colin taking over,

74
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean that, Uh, that's that's gotta feel nice. It's

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: it's a little bit liberating for you guys there there's

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: hope at least in in Metsville right now. Yeah. I'm

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: going from hoping to get like a B one B

78
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: level free agent each winter to like this year, I'm

79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: like spend everything, like let's get everyone because it's actually possible.

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: It's uh, it is a brand new day in Queens

81
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: before the Mets. So so We'll see how that goes.

82
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Let us turn to what happened last night in Santa Clara.

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: It was not pretty if you were a forty Niner fan.

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: It was great for Packers fans. Green Bay gets a

85
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: thirty four seventeen win that was pretty easy, a game

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: that was pretty much over by halftime. But you look

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: at the top scorers from that game, Richie James maybe

88
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise, nine catches, a hundred and eighty four

89
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown that was better than thirty three points,

90
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Davante Adams doing Davante Adams things with ten for one

91
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: seventy three and a touchdown, and then Aaron Rodgers having

92
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: just a very smooth night three hundred five passing yards

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns in that one. But but let's let's

94
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: talk about Davante Adams. I mean, I think we just

95
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: need a moment to sort of appreciate what is going

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: on with him right now. I mean, this is a

97
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: guy who basically missed two and a half games because

98
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: of injury. He's also had a bye week so far

99
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: this season, and as we talk right now recording this show,

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is the wide receiver one I know Florio.

101
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes we can be prisoners of the moment. We can

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: sort of revert to the last thing we've seen, But

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, really should really talking about Davantae Adams is

104
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: a fantasy m v P right now? Yeah, I think so.

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: And that just shows you how well he's playing right now,

106
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: because this is a guy who was a first round pick.

107
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: So typically if you're taking in the first round, it's

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: hard for us to view you as the fantasy m

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: v P because you were already expected to, you know,

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: put up big numbers, and it more often than not

111
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: you just live up to those expectations rather than exceed them.

112
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: But Devanta Adams is greatly exceeding them. Like he's played

113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: six games this year and in four of them he

114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: scored over thirty points and two of them over forty.

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: And if you take away Week two where he left

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: early due to injury, well he's averaging over thirty points

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: per game right now. That is unheard of. Like Michael

118
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: Thomas was amazing last year, one of the best Fantasy

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver seasons we've ever had, he didn't put up

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: numbers like this, So it just shows you right now,

121
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 1: like how good and how consistent Davantae Adams is playing.

122
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Coming into the season, there were a lot of people

123
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: I was one of them who had Davantae Adams peg

124
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: as the number one receiver in fantasy and then he

125
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt and so I kind of in my head,

126
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching a perform I'm thinking, Okay, my narrative at

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: the end of the year will be, hey, he had

128
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: a really good year and he could have been the

129
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver one except for blank we might not have

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: to put in the disclaimer anymore. I mean, because the

131
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: way he's playing, the way Rogers is throwing him the football,

132
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: and let's make no mistake, Aaron Rodgers is playing great

133
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: football too. Right now, these two are clicking on a

134
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: level that it really is possible that Davante Adams ends

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: up as the wide receiver one and won't have played

136
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: anywhere close to sixteen games. That is absolutely incredible, and

137
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: I think it reassures people because the top of the

138
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: first round in fantasy drafts has been just an abject nightmare, right.

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: I mean, we're probably getting Christian McCaffrey back, but Sa

140
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Kwan's gone for the year. Michael Thomas has been just

141
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: missing for a while. Zeke is now struggling because the

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense has gone bad. You go to the end

143
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: of the first round. I mean, if if people took

144
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Kenyan drink, they're frustrated. Uh you know, anybody pegg Joe

145
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: Mixon at the back end of the first round, they're frustrated.

146
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: So having Adams, yeah, right exactly, I mean having so

147
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: having Davante Adams going here and produce. He and Alvin

148
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Kamara are like the two guys, and I guess Derrick

149
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: Henry are like the three guys that are kind of

150
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: saving your first round right now, because otherwise it's been

151
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: an absolute nightmare picking guys early in your draft. Um.

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: On the flip side, the forty niners, I mean, look,

153
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: they were just depleted between injuries and and COVID restrictions

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. That offense was completely depleted.

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: The one guy we thought you could count on was

156
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: going to be Jamichael Hasty because he had been running well.

157
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: The Packer run defense had not been playing well this year.

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: We didn't see much of Hasty. We saw a lot

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: of Jerick McKinnon, who had an okay night. So now,

160
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: what what do we make of of how Kyle Shanahan

161
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: used his running backs, and what can we do to

162
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: kind of apply that going forward? I think we have

163
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: to just root for he most took to come back

164
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: because when most of was here like this at backfield,

165
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: was at least a little bit more predictable, right Like

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: he was gonna get the carries and some a cup,

167
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: maybe a handful of targets a week. But McKinnon was

168
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: going to play the past catching role there and since

169
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: he's gone down, it's really become a guesting game. It

170
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of the Rams offense, right like

171
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's run game. It's still effective, like if you

172
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: started Jack McKinnon last night, you're feeling pretty good today,

173
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: I think, But it's just becomes so unpredictable week to

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: week right now that while it is a good system

175
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: for production, we just don't know who is going to

176
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: be the productive back and so much for you know,

177
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: McKinnon's tired legs and them needing to give him a

178
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: break because on a short week he was just the

179
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: one out there playing three quarters of the snaps and

180
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: I trusted hasty. I was advising people to play hasty.

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: My bad on that I will say, though, I think

182
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Hasty deserves some blame here too, Like the little bit

183
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: of opportunity that he has gotten these last couple of weeks,

184
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: he just hasn't done a whole lot with it. So

185
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: I think if he was more productive then he would

186
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: be the back maybe that we were talking about tonight.

187
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: I think kind of him not living up to those

188
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: expectations that we set for him lead for Shanahan to

189
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: be like, all right, well, I gotta get my vetter

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: in that I know is at least reliable, And I

191
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: think there's there's a lot of merit to that. And

192
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: you talk about the snap share of thirty nine for

193
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: McKinnon just fourteen for Hasty, and a couple of people

194
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: noted that there was a play early in the game

195
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: where it looked like Hasty might have run the wrong

196
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: way that the you know, the quarterback of Nick mullany

197
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: went to hand it off and and McKinnon or a

198
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Hasty wasn't there, and so that may have impacted how

199
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: many snaps he played. Uh. I also think it's it's

200
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: sort of fair to remember, I know, we get excited

201
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: about these guys who move up the depth chart, and suddenly,

202
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, experience an opportunity and maybe succeed at least

203
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: for a week or two in that opportunity. But I

204
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: think it's also fair to remember there's also a reason

205
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: that some of these guys were lower on the depth

206
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: chart to begin with, that there are still things that

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: they're working through, that there are things that they're trying

208
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: to learn. There are mistakes that we don't see necessarily

209
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: on game, they that are happening in practice. And so

210
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: it's great to see a guy like Jamichael Hasty run

211
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: effectively and run hard, but there's also a reason to

212
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: remember why he was on the practice squad for quite

213
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: a while. There's some things that he's still working out,

214
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: So maybe we take that into it. But I'm also

215
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: with you that once where he moster comes back, hopefully

216
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: that solves some of these problems um, and that makes

217
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: everything better. But this was a pure case of shannahannigans,

218
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: I think coming to to rear its ugly head in

219
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: a matchup that seemed really really good for Jamachael Hasty.

220
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Um at this point though, look, we're we're waiting on

221
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: mostre We've probably lost George Kittle for the rest of

222
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: the year. Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be out for

223
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: an extended period of time. We'll see what happens with

224
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. How many forty niners would you want

225
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: to have on your roster for the rest of the year.

226
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Now it's slim pickings, like it's mostert I think it.

227
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: I think Jack McKinnon is still one that I would

228
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: want because he has a role as the past catching

229
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: specialists there even when st comes back, and and again,

230
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: most of it's been in and out of the lineup

231
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: all year, So I think McKinnon is one that you

232
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: would want to hold and then mate whichever one comes

233
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: back first of Deebo Samuel or Brandon Ayouk, like they

234
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: were seeing volume the least before they had to miss time.

235
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: So but right now, and I would say Jordan Reid

236
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: is like on that when when he is healthy, because

237
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I wish I saw this report earlier. I started Jordan

238
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: read in a couple of weeks. I didn't see until

239
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: after the game that it was reported that he was

240
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna play around ten snaps last night, and that's what

241
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: he did. He played I believe twelve snaps and two targets.

242
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: It just wasn't a good night. For him. But I

243
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: do think that next week now after this you know,

244
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: miny bye week that they get after playing on Thursday night,

245
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: he will be fully good to go. And that could

246
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: be one game, it could be the rest of the year,

247
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: who knows. But I think they're tight end. Who if

248
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: it's if it's read or Dwelly. Uh, they can be

249
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: just because of the state of tight end. They can

250
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: be worth rostering and fantasy. But it's getting pretty grim

251
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: And Marcus, I do want to thank you because in

252
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: a super flex league, I was going back and forth

253
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: all night last night Nick mole Lens or DeAndre Swift,

254
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: and just before kickoff, I was like, let me let

255
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: me run this fine Marcus, and you can see me

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: in the right direction and told me to go with

257
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. I'm glad I could help. Uh. You know,

258
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: it's funny you talk about that report about Jordan Reid.

259
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is turning into the king of telling us

260
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: things we should have known the day before, right, And

261
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: I say that jokingly, right because he's obviously not going

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: to necessarily put out his entire game plan because you know,

263
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: the opponent has Twitter also, um, but it is it's

264
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, we find out about Jerick McKinnon's tired legs

265
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: after the fact, We find out about Jordan reads tin

266
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: snaps after the fact, so that that's a little bit frustrating. Um,

267
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: We're also we're not we're not advising to pick up

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Richie James, right, this was this was like a one

269
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: week thing. We're not We're not buying into Richie James,

270
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: are we I'm not. I mean, he he played really well.

271
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: He's still had a couple of mistakes, like he could

272
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: have had an even bigger day, which is this scary part.

273
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: He outscored Davante Adams, but it's a one week thing, Like,

274
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm not buying into this long term. He had more

275
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: catches and yards last night then he did all of

276
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: last season, So that kind of gives you the clue,

277
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: of right, that gives you a clue about Richie James

278
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: and his status within the offense. So all right, so

279
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: the Packers still rolling along, the forty niners sort of regrouping,

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with that. In the meantime,

281
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: let's look at a couple of fantasy headlines, shall We

282
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: will start with the Detroit Lions. The report came out

283
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: earlier this week that Matthew Stafford is on the reserve

284
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen list. However, he could play this week against

285
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. He needs to test negative for the

286
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: remainder of the week and then the Lions will make

287
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: a decision whether or not he'll be able to go.

288
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: The first question here, though, is if you have Matthew Stafford,

289
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: how are you trying to navigate this situation? Oh, if

290
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: you have Matthew Stafford and you were planning on starting

291
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: him this week, because I understand why, Like Matthew Stafford

292
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: hasn't been you know, amazing in fantasy, but he's been

293
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: consistent and playing better as of late, and the Vikings

294
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: have given up a good amount of points to quarterbacks.

295
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: But you should already have another quarterback on your roster

296
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: because if he's out, you don't want to, you know,

297
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: pick up his backup and just plug him in like

298
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: you wanna. There's better options on the waiver wires. So

299
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: I think that you a hundred percent should have a

300
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: backup plan in place. And the same thing goes if

301
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: you were planning on starting t J. Hockenson, or maybe

302
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: I think Hockinson you could still use because tight end.

303
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: But if you were planning on like streaming Marvin Jones Jr.

304
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: This week, we'll have a backup plan in place, because

305
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna look a lot less appealing if matt Stafford

306
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: is out this week. So you're saying you're not you're

307
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: not excited about Chase Daniel or David Blow Uh see

308
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: your quarterback if it were to come to that. Uh yeah,

309
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: I I would agree. I mean, I think there's a

310
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: reason we've been sort of advocating streamers this week, and

311
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: we didn't know at the start of the week that

312
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: this was going to be a thing. But we've been

313
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: talking this week about Drew Lock, about Derek Carr, who's

314
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: another good streaming option going up against the Chargers. So

315
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: there are guys out there that are likely available on

316
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: on some waiver wires if you can pick up and

317
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: and start in the event that Matthew Stafford does not

318
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: go this week. So that's the thing just to kind

319
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: of monitor. Will certainly know a whole lot more on

320
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Saturday and probably getting getting into Sunday morning when we

321
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: kind of have a definitive answer all what happens with Stafford.

322
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: But it is wise just to sort of be prepared.

323
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: And you talked about the past catchers here, because I

324
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: know a lot of people were sort of looking in

325
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: the direction of saying Marvin Jones or or quintest Cepis.

326
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: I know Adam Rank sort of likes as a deep

327
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: sleeper this week. But if there is no Stafford or

328
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: you, you you are sort of pivoting away from these guys, right. Yeah,

329
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: Like I wrote about Marvin Jones in the sleeper article

330
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: this week, and I very much so would use him

331
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford is active. But if he's inactive, I

332
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: think it just leads to a lot of question marks, right,

333
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Like that's a big downgrade in the quarterback play. And

334
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: then it's also like with a different quarterback. We've seen this, Marcus,

335
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: where a quarterback, a quarterback will come in off the

336
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: bench or whatever and he could have a report with

337
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: a different receiver that we weren't really anticipating. So from me,

338
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: it just becomes too much question marks around this team

339
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: in their passing game for me to trust, you know,

340
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: going deep with the guy like Marvin Jones. Yeah, I agree. Um,

341
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: so that's this is another one look wide receiver. I

342
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: feel like it's a little bit easier to pivot from.

343
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: And I know there are buys this week, so that

344
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: might make it slightly more difficult, but it's a lot

345
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: easier I think, to find wide receiver help than at

346
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: his quarterback help and certainly tied in help. So you

347
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: mentioned Hawkinson earlier, you might sort of be locked into

348
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: him because it's gonna be hard to go out and

349
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: at the last minute find better options. But again, all

350
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: of this will sort of shake out, I think by

351
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: the time we get to Sunday morning, and you can

352
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: make it a more informed decision that in Miami, Matt

353
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: Breta is dealing with a hamstring injury, and according to

354
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: head coach Brian Flores, there's a chance he could play

355
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: this week against the Cardinals. Now, if you listen to

356
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the reports or read the reports, you know, sometimes they

357
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: say there's a chance a guy could play, and it's

358
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: more optimistic. This is more of, yeah, there's a chance

359
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: he could play. It was not. It didn't seem quite

360
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: as optimistic for Matt bree Uh, we don't. Miles Gascon

361
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: is currently on injured reserve, so he's not available, So

362
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: that leaves a backfield of Jordan Howard Patrick Laird and

363
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: Savant ak Med a guy who went to the University

364
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: of Washington. Any chance you would think about putting any

365
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: of these guys in your lineup against Arizona? Sadly, yes,

366
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: Like I had leagues out there right now where I

367
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: had I'm missing like Joe Mixon and GIOE. Bernard. This

368
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: week I'm mixing. I'm missing Boston Scott and Cream Hunt

369
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: like and those leagues. I'm looking at the waiver wire.

370
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is the best name still available to pick

371
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: up and plug in in their absence. And I know

372
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: it feels dirty to say, but I think this is

373
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: a a week where there's going to be volume to

374
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: be had there because again it's to a second start,

375
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: and we saw last week they really were not asking

376
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: to what to do much at all. I know their

377
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: defense scored the two touchdowns and they didn't really have

378
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: to ask him. But I think that is going to

379
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: be similar to their game plan this week. Like, I

380
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna ask to Uh to throw forty

381
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: plus times this week, especially since the strength of the

382
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense isn't that secondary. I think They're gonna look

383
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: to keep the game close, keep the ball out of

384
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's hands, and you do that by grinding out

385
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: the clock and running the ball. I know it's not,

386
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, a a sexy option for fantasy, but Jordan

387
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Howard could be looking at I think fifteen plus touches

388
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: this week, and I have no doubts that if they

389
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: get a carry near the goal line, it's going to

390
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard. I think Patrick Lard is just more of

391
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: a deep league. You hope he catches a couple of passes,

392
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: but I think Howard is the name that that fantasy

393
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: owners should be looking at, which sort of brings me

394
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: back full circle to where I was in August, where

395
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: I thought Jordan Howard was going to be kind of

396
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: a nice mid round value pick, and like I, I

397
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: admit that I was wrong about that because you know,

398
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: he he was scoring touchdowns, but he was also getting

399
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, one carry for two yards or two carries

400
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: for one yard a touchdown, and um, it just wasn't

401
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: enough to sustain you. So I have since you put

402
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: him on the waiver wire in a lot of leagues.

403
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: But I can't tell my self a story where if

404
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: you are in a need like like you talked about

405
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: in your league's uh that you can go back and

406
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: get Jordan Howard and have him be a viable starter

407
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: for you this week. So um, yeah, we we have

408
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: time as a flat circle. That's what Rust and Cole

409
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: told us all those many years ago, true detective. So

410
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: here we are back to Jordan Howard again. So it's

411
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's not appealing, it's not super exciting,

412
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: but this is where we are. I'm also having flashbacks

413
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: till last year where late in the season I was

414
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: forced to start Patrick Laird and a couple of spots,

415
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: and I don't feel great about that moment. Uh, But

416
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: but here we are. Here we are again, all right.

429
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: time for some of our big questions heading into Week nine,

430
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: and maybe the biggest one, the one that I think

431
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: we have all been asking ourselves and being asked about,

432
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: is what's going on down in Tampa Bay. Antonio Brown

433
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: is expected to be on the field this week for

434
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, making his debut down there alongside

435
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They played with one game together in New England.

436
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: But a B will be on the field now. To

437
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: throw a wrinkle into this, Chris Godwin is also expected

438
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: to play this week, So that means it is a

439
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: fully loaded compliment of receivers that Brady has to throw too.

440
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: With a B. Though, what approach are you taking? Are

441
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: you starting him this week? So I am I actually

442
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: picked up a B in a good amount of leagues,

443
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: and in most I am keeping him on the bench

444
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: and taking a weight and see approach. There's one league

445
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: where I'm struggling to fill my my flex spot, and

446
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: I might lean with Antonio Brown just because of his upside.

447
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: I do think he's still you know, it wouldn't surprise

448
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: me if Tom Brady tried to force in the ball,

449
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: especially near the goal line, and he finished with double

450
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: digit Fantasy points this week. But there's a lot of

451
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: unknown here. Like I had him in the wide receiver

452
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: to range when it looked like Chris Godwin was gonna

453
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: be out just because of volume. But now it looks

454
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: like Godwin is gonna be ready to play again. And

455
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: if so, I think that lowers Antonio Brown down to

456
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: at least wide receiver three territory. He's a pure boomer

457
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: bust option in my opinion. Even Bruce arians said he

458
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: could play ten snaps or he could play like the

459
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: full allotment of snaps this week. So I don't think

460
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: we really have any sense of Antonio Brown. The only

461
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: since I think that that we can really go off

462
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: of Marcus is that one game that you mentioned last

463
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: year with Antonio Brown, tom Brady was peppering him the ball.

464
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: He played one game and I think it took him

465
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: like Week fourteen for anyone else on the to surpass

466
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: in end his own targets for the Patriot lead, like

467
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: he was that many in one game, but there's more

468
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: weapons here, so I think Antonio Brown is purely boom

469
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: or bust. I really feel like that the answer you

470
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: gave was sort of the answer that everybody's kind of

471
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: leaning with it. If there was no Chris Godwin, we

472
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: would all feel better about playing Antonio Brown, But now

473
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: that it looks like Godwin is going to play, I

474
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: think we're sort of pivoting away from a B and

475
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: we are kind of taking that wait and see stance.

476
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: I also go back to that game in New England

477
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: last year, and I feel like we sort of pegged

478
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: that one for what it was that when the Patriots

479
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: got him in and got him on the field, that

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to get him up to speed and get

481
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: him comfortable in that offense as soon as possible. So

482
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: that was the reason they peppered him with targets, because

483
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: they knew they needed wide receiver help. This one is

484
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: not so urgent that they can slowly work him in

485
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: if they need to and not necessarily mess up the

486
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: flow of the offense because, as you mentioned, look Godwin's

487
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: going to be there and get targets they still have

488
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: to kind of feed Mike Evans at some point. Rob

489
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Gronkowski has become, you know, a much more viable option,

490
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: and they still have two running backs that they have

491
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: to try to work into this one. So I don't

492
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: see the same level of urgency to get Antonio Brown

493
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: a ton of targets this week. So if you have

494
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: that luxury, and look if if you went and picked

495
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: him up on the waiver wire knowing that you were

496
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: going to have to stash him for a couple of weeks,

497
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: you probably have the luxury of waiting at least one

498
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: more week. So I I would tend to air on

499
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: the side of caution knowing that the guy who is

500
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: the primary target in the offense is going to be

501
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: there and that you know, a B might have to

502
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a back seat at least

503
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: in the short term. Speaking of guys coming back, Christian

504
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is finally back after missing six weeks with a

505
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain. I know the Panthers were hoping maybe

506
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: to get him back last week, but with it being

507
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, they figured, you know, the phrase

508
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: of the week, a phrase of the month. I guess

509
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: we're a year out of an abundance of caution that

510
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: they were going to sit him down, But now he

511
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: is back for a match up against the Chiefs, which

512
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: on paper isn't that great necessarily, But what should we

513
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: expect from Christian mc caffrey in his return. Yeah, this

514
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: is the opposite of Antonio Brown, right, Like, there's no

515
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: doubt here in my opinion, there's no question mark here.

516
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: Like you have Christian McCaffrey, you've waited since week two

517
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: to get him back in your fantasy lineup. You start

518
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: him this week, like I have him ranked as a

519
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: top five running back. Maybe he sees a little bit

520
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: less work than normal, but I it sounds like he's

521
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: back at full health, right Like he was pushing to

522
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: play last week, but with it being a Thursday night

523
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: game like you said, and bad weather, they were they

524
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: were cautious and they held him out. But he's been

525
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: a full go all week at practice and everything out

526
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: of from him and from Panther's camp just seems to

527
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: be raving about how good he looks. Maybe Mike Davis

528
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: eats in a little bit just to ease Christian McCaffrey

529
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: back in, but I don't think it's enough to even

530
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: downgrade McCaffrey outside the top five running backs. You probably

531
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: spent the number one overall pick on Christian McCaffrey. You

532
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: have been sort of patching holes in your lineup for

533
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: him with him or waiting on him for the last

534
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: six weeks. Playing Christian McCaffrey. You don't, you don't care

535
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: what the matchup is. You're not you're not parsing this out.

536
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: And and as Adam Rank would say, who are you

537
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: gonna play over him? You know what are you gonna do.

538
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna go in and get J D mckissic and

539
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: trying to plug him in, or you're gonna hope for

540
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas to get some extra touches. You're gonna play

541
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, and and you're just gonna kind of live

542
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: and die with whatever happens, because you know, this is

543
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: this is what the situation is. I have enjoyed though,

544
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: that all the reports out of Carolina have been but

545
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: what does he look like? And all the coaches like,

546
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: he looks like Christian McCaffrey, like and we all know

547
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: what that, yeah, exactly, we all know what that means. Like, Okay,

548
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: sweet let's get him back in our lives and man,

549
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: let's go from there. The Bills, you know, they're still

550
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: playing good football, are still you know, it looks like

551
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: they're on track to win the a f C East.

552
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: But for fantasy we have sort of been frustrated because

553
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been scuffling for the last few weeks.

554
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: The Patriots are, you know, they're not the same that

555
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: They've got a good matchup this week the Bills do

556
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, whose secondary has been struggle. Is this

557
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen bounce back game we've been waiting for?

558
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: I think so, I mean, and it's long overdue. Like

559
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: the first four weeks of the season, Josh Allen did

560
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: not score less than twenty five fantasy points in the game.

561
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: The last four weeks, he has not scored seventeen in

562
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: a game. So it's just been a seat like a

563
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: night and day each of the first two months for

564
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But the Seahawks allow the most fantasy points

565
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. They allow the most passing yards by four

566
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: by far, and it's been consistent like each week they're

567
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: giving up a lot of production to the quarterback position.

568
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't expect that to change this week. I think,

569
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: uh Josh Allen, And again, I think part of what

570
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: helps him too is that the Bill's defense hasn't been

571
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: what it was in in recent years. So I'm still

572
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: expecting Russell Wilson to do his thing and him in

573
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: d K and Locket to put up numbers, which makes

574
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: me think that Josh Allen is gonna have to throw

575
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: even more to keep up with that office. I I

576
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: completely agree with you and throwing the fact that the

577
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks run offense has actually been pretty good, which means

578
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: it might be a little bit tougher for Devin Singletary

579
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss to get going. And if Russ continues

580
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: to cook the way he has been cooking, it is

581
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: going to be incumbent on Josh Allen to throw the

582
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: football and continue to kind of keep pace with that

583
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense this this week. So I expect good things

584
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: out of Josh Allen. I think again, I think you've

585
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: sort of been plugging him into your lineup waiting for

586
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: the kaboom to happen again, and I think this is

587
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: the week that it finally happens back in your lineup.

588
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: I have been told for a couple of years now

589
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: that Marcus Brown is going to be a big thing,

590
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: and I am still waiting for to happen on a

591
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: consistent basis, Like you know, he'll have a couple of

592
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: nice blow up games and then he'll have games where

593
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: he gets you know, like seventeen yards or something like that.

594
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: This past week, Lamar Jackson sort of said, look, this

595
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: is on me that I'm not getting the ball to

596
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: Mark Keats Brown enough that I gotta get him more targets.

597
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: I gotta help him out a little bit. This week

598
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: they don't have a great matchup, but are you expecting

599
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: that Lamar is gonna make good on his promise? And

600
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: then we see some more some more targets to Brown

601
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: this week. First, I got to admit, like I was,

602
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: I think one of the people driving the Marquis Brown

603
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: hype train all somewhere long. I had high expectations for him,

604
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: and I felt great after week one, and it just

605
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: even the first month of the season, like he was.

606
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: If you look at percentages, right, like seeing a high

607
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: percentage of targets and air yards and everything, but then

608
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: when you look at the raw numbers, you're like, all right, yeah,

609
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: he's seeing thirty percent of this team's targets, but that

610
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: equals six targets per game, Like that's not a big number,

611
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: and part of me is a little bit excited this week.

612
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: Four Markets Brown is kind of a last ditch, like,

613
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: let's see what he can do. Let's see if he

614
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: has like a squeaky Wheel type of game where he

615
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: expressed his frustration and now they're gonna come out and

616
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: game plan around him and make sure to get him

617
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the ball. But it's also not like they haven't been trying,

618
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Like he is the third most targets of twenty plus

619
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: air yards this year, but they're just not connecting on those.

620
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: So I don't expect Lamar Jackson to sudden we be like,

621
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: all right, Marcus Brown, complain, let me throw the ball

622
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: to him better on these deep throws, Like it's just

623
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: an issue there. They haven't been connecting. I think what

624
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for, and what I think if you have

625
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: Markets Brown you have to be hoping for is that

626
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: they design more plays closer to the line of scrimmage

627
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: for him. Just get him the ball in space and

628
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: let him use his speed because down the field, those

629
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: throws just haven't been there this year. That's the point

630
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: that that I am sort of looking at is if

631
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: they're just going to use him as a deep threat,

632
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: he's always going to be sort of this boom er

633
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: bust guy, right. He's going to be sort of the

634
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson is right where he will have those huge

635
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: home run games, he'll house will have some games where

636
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: he just strikes out a lot, and I think that's

637
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: sort of what we're seeing. If they can start using

638
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: him in a more varied set of routes, get him

639
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the ball in space and let him work because he's

640
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: he's just electric with the football in his hands, then

641
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: I think we start to see more and more consistency

642
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: from him. But as long as they're just sending him

643
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: down the field and hoping that Lamar Jackson can hook

644
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: up with him, we're going to continue to have that volatility.

645
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting the matchup. Like I said,

646
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: it's not great against Indianapolis this week, So maybe maybe

647
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: this is their opportunity to try some more creative things

648
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: with him and we'll see what happens. Um But it's

649
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to want to ride that roller

650
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: coaster on a week to week basis staying in the division.

651
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: The Steelers have a dream matchup against the Cowboys this week.

652
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 1: It is one of those that we're always picking on. Uh,

653
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, when we're setting our fantasy lineups, you look

654
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: at their wide receivers though, right, I mean Deante Johnson

655
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: seems to be the number one guy there. Um, they

656
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: got Chase Claypool, that Juju smith Shuster still hanging around there.

657
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: When you look at all these wide receivers, which one

658
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: do you think has the best outlook? Because Ben Roethlisberger

659
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: has been sort of spreading the ball around all of them. Yeah,

660
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: this Steelers passing game is just not what it once was.

661
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Like it's spreading the ball out a lot more. They

662
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: used to funnel it to one or two wide receivers,

663
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: which was awesome. They also would throw the ball down

664
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: field more like Big Ben is averaging a career low

665
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: and area. It's per target and that's worrisome to me

666
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: coming off of the the elbow injury that he suffered

667
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: last year. But I think this week and I feel

668
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: like going forward, Deontay Johnson is the number one target here.

669
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: Like I tweeted last week, a picture of a guy

670
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: from SpongeBob in like a body cast and said, like,

671
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: this is Deontay Johnson this year because every week it

672
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: feels like he's leaving with a different injury, hamstring, toe,

673
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: all these other things. But when he's healthy, he sees

674
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: double digit targets each week. And and the Cowboys off defense,

675
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: the one thing that they've been pretty good at this

676
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: year is stopping slot receivers, and Juju runs most of

677
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: his routes out of the slot, so I don't love

678
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: him as much this week. I have those two very close.

679
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: And I will say I think Chase Claypool is high

680
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: upside and nine targets last week, but he has two

681
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: really big games this year and the rest are just

682
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: completely unusable and fantasy. So I think he's just purely

683
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: boomer bust each week right now. Too. He is sort

684
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: of slotting it like like we talked about with with

685
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown. He's kind of that that home run hitter

686
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna strike out quite a few times. So if

687
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: you plug him in and he gives you one of

688
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: those big games, it's great. Otherwise you're looking at a

689
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: pretty bad number in your lineup. I'm with you that

690
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson is sort of the receiver of choice there

691
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger, but it has been it's been a

692
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: little bit hard to pick. I mean, maybe it's because

693
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: we expected so much out of Juju this year and

694
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: that hasn't really happened. And then we we got stars

695
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: in our eyes over Chase Claypool and a couple of

696
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: big games. But I do think that when it's all

697
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: said and done, you know, Deonte Johnson has stepped in,

698
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: has become the top wide receiver there at Pittsburgh. So, uh,

699
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we should stop trying to make fetch happen

700
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: with some of these other guys and just sort of

701
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: let it, let it fall where it does, uh, and

702
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: understand that you know, there's one guy there that that

703
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: is the one true guy you can sort of count

704
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: on on on a regular basis. For more analysis like that,

705
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: you can join me and Florida alongside Adam Ranking Kimmy

706
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,760

Speaker 1: have all the latest injury news, will have ads, drops, starts, sits,

708
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: all of that kind of and stuff lean you right

709
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: up until kickoff. We get started at noon eastern nine

710
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: am Pacific, and you can see a streaming on NFL

711
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: dot Com, in the NFL Fantasy app and YouTube as well.

712
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: In fact, if you're watching it on YouTube, Florio is

713
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: there answering questions for you right up until about fifteen

714
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: minutes before kickoff. Side for Best Value presented by Draft Kings,

715
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: as we do every week about this time, we try

716
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: to give you the most bang for your fantasy buck

717
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: when you were setting your DFS lineups for the week.

718
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: So so to quarterback Florio, who is your best value

719
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: in Week nine? It is someone that I think I've

720
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: overlooked a little bit in the past, but it's Derek

721
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: car Like, he's playing really good football right now. He

722
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: has scored over nineteen fantasy points and four of his

723
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: last six games, finished as a top twelve quarterback in

724
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: two of his last three, and that boilds well for

725
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: him because the Chargers have allowed a top twelve quarterback

726
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: in four of their last six games. They're allowing the

727
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points two quarterbacks. And another thing that

728
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't think Car gets enough credit for Marcus is

729
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: he's using his legs a little it more right, like

730
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: he is between nineteen and forty one rushing yards in

731
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: four of his last six games. And I know you

732
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: could be saying at home, like nineteen rushing yards. That's

733
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: not a whole lot, but that's two additional like free

734
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: bonus Fantasy points you get, So they do matter, and

735
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: I think it makes car a better value. I think

736
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: especially that that nineteen or more fantasy points and two

737
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: of the last three games is important because you're talking about, um,

738
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: there's some about a value guy, right, and if you're

739
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: talking to more you know, more traditional leagues, say a

740
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: streaming quarterback to get nineteen points, uh is a pretty

741
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: nice number, right for a guy that that's not considered

742
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: any elite, top level quarterbacks. If you can get that,

743
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: then I think you sort of roll with that. And

744
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: we saw last week what Drew Lock was able to

745
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: do against the Chargers. I expected Derek Carr can sort

746
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: of do that against the Chargers as well. And you know,

747
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: throwing the fact that he's occasionally throwing the ball deep

748
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: now that he's got Henry Ruggs there. That's always been

749
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: the knock on him that he does not go down field,

750
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: but it appears that he's doing that now that he's

751
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: got a legitimate field stretcher. In rugs over to running back.

752
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: Who's your value pick there? We're gonna We're on opposite

753
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum here, but I'm going with Melvin Gordon.

754
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: So much of it is the matchup here against the Falcons,

755
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: and the reason I went with Gordon over the guy

756
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick, who I also do like this week

757
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: is because on the year, Melvin Gordon is the one

758
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: that they trust and they have been using more in

759
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: the passing game and that that is big this week

760
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: because the Falcons are in the top five and catches

761
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: allowed to running back. So I think if this becomes

762
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: a higher scoring game and we're getting a little bit

763
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: more passing out of Drew Lock and this Broncos offense

764
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: like we're many of us are expecting this week, I

765
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: think it could be Melvin Gordon that gets you know,

766
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: four or five plus targets this week and it helps

767
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: give him a safe floor at justf on draft kings,

768
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: I I'm gonna go you mentioned I'm gonna go the

769
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: other guy in that backfield and go with Philip Lindsay

770
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: because I think the matchup obviously is very good. Lindsay is, Yeah,

771
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: he's sort of a big play guy. I mean, you

772
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: give him the football anytime and you have to watch

773
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: out because he can go the distance with it. So

774
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: my fear about this backfield all year long has been

775
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a hot hand situation that

776
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: one of these guys is going to have a good

777
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: game and that's going to be the guy. So this

778
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: could go really either way, or because it's the Falcons defense,

779
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: both of these guys could succeed. That is certainly within

780
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the realm of possibilities as well. So I just I'm

781
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna lean with Lindsay on this one here, but I

782
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: think Melvin Gordon is equally a good choice, and the

783
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: salaries are just about even there. So it's it's a

784
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: value I think either way that you go over wide receivers.

785
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: I look at this one and I like it. I'm

786
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: saying I'm not saying you're a Homer. I think I

787
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: think this is a smart pick here wide receiver. Thank you.

788
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cole Beasley of the Buffalo Bills. Yes,

789
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: I am a Bills fan, but it has everything to

790
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: do with the matchup here right Like Seattle is allowing

791
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: the most by far most fantasy points and receiving yards

792
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, but taking it even in step further,

793
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: they've allowed a top twelve wide receiver in every single

794
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: game this year. So you may be saying, all right, well,

795
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: that means Stefon Diggs is a great play this week.

796
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: But they've also allowed a second wide receiver to finish

797
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: as a top twenty five fantasy receiver in all but

798
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: two games this year. So I think there's going to

799
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: be production from someone outside of Stefon Diggs, and I

800
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: think it is beasily as the slot has been a

801
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: big weakness for Seattle, they've allowed the most fantasy points,

802
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: two receivers lined up in the slot, the most yards.

803
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: And Cole Beasley is just low key, been pretty reliable

804
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: outside of last week when people started to take notice

805
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: of him. But before that, you know, like he's on

806
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: pace for just under a thousand yards this year, eighty catches.

807
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: He's just a reliable option each week, and I think

808
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: this week he is more upside than usual. I'm gonna

809
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: stay in that Denver Atlantic game and I'm gonna go

810
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: with Jerry Judy, and we're still waiting, I think for

811
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: the real, true Jerry Judy breakout game. And I do

812
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: think that it could come this week. I like Drew

813
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: lock as a streamer in more traditional leagues. I've said

814
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: that all week long, and I think he's gonna start

815
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around, is trying to get the rookie

816
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: more involved. Uh, we've seen him make some really nice

817
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: plays occasionally. We know how much the Falcon secondary has struggled,

818
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: and this could be a game that sees a lot

819
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: of points in both directions. So I think Judy is

820
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: probably to have the the big game we have been

821
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: waiting all season for him to have. Uh look, let's

822
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: let's we talk about tight ends. We might as well

823
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: just stay in Denver, right, I mean, it makes the

824
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: most sense, doesn't it. Yeah, I mean we have Bronco

825
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: said basically every position this week. I'm going with no

826
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: a fant here. I know forties six hundred isn't a

827
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: huge value, but I think once you get outside you

828
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: know that, Like if you're not paying up for Travis Kelsey,

829
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: all the other tight ends are kind of similarly priced,

830
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: and fan has been seeing targets go his way each week.

831
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: He's in the top seven and target share amongst tight ends.

832
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: His fantasy production has been much better with Drew lock

833
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: than with the other quarterbacks, and the Falcons are allowing

834
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points per game two tight ends, so

835
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: I think it's just the opportunity plus a good matchup

836
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: there makes him a really strong play this week. I'm

837
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: going with a deeper dive here and I'm going with

838
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's Aikins for the Houston Texans. And I know he's

839
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: not a name that immediately springs to mind when you

840
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: talk about the tight end position, but when he's been healthy,

841
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: he has been the number one tight end in that

842
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Houston Texans offense, and I think this is an opportunity

843
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: for him to go out and sort of get back

844
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: into the rhythm he was had. Like when he played

845
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, he was third on the team

846
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: in targets, so DeShawn Watson was looking his way quite

847
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: a bit. He's been out for some time because of

848
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: multiple injuries that he's been suffering, but he's gonna be

849
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: back this week and he's got but I think it's

850
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: a very good matchup against the Jaguars. He's given up

851
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns to tight ends, at second most so far

852
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: in the league, So, uh, you may not have thought

853
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: about him. You might not know who he is, but

854
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins is the name that, uh, you know, it's

855
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: worth plugging in at least in some spots, just sort

856
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: of for the upside potentially in the flexibility he gives

857
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: you roster wise. Over to the defense there, what's your

858
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: what's your value defense for the week. I'm going with

859
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, and they are a defense that I've

860
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: picked up in a bunch of regular, like seasonal leagues,

861
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: and I'm streaming them there as well. The the Jaguars

862
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: offense has not been anything to write home about outside

863
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: of James Robinson all year, and now they're taking out

864
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew and we're we're getting six front pick Jake

865
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Luton making his first NFL start, such an unknown at

866
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL level, and we've already heard him talking about

867
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: like what it's gonna be like having like j J.

868
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: Watt trying to chase him down and stuff. I'm not

869
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: saying the moment's gonna be be too big for the

870
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: kid or anything like that, but when it's such an

871
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: unknown in an offense that's already been struggling this year,

872
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: I think that there's an opportunity that the Texans defense

873
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: can have a big fantasy day. I like that, especially

874
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: because of the change at quarterback. I'm gonna go with

875
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: the Washington football team this week that their defense has

876
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: been playing pretty well all year, but the biggest reason

877
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: is they're taking on the Giants here. And there's one

878
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: thing we know that Daniel Jones still struggles with the turnover.

879
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: The streak is lengthy for him in terms of turning

880
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: the football over, and I think that is where Washington

881
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: can make some Hey there, here's the thing. On the

882
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: flip side, the Giants defense might not be a terrible

883
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: start either going against the Washington offense, just because they're

884
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: prone to give up sacks and turnovers as well. So

885
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: the defenses on both sides of this thing could end

886
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: up being fairly productive. But I'm gonna plug Washington and

887
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: as my value pick this week. All right, there, You

888
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: know that was best Value presented by DraftKings. It's not

889
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: for best of the Pack presented by Pannini Trading Cards,

890
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: where every week we open a pack of Panini Trading

891
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: Cards and uh, we tell you who is the best

892
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: in there, and we kind of talk about them a

893
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: little bit. So let's start with a running back here,

894
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: it's James Conner with the Pittsburgh Steelers. We talked about

895
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: the Stealers passing game a little bit earlier in the show,

896
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: but Connor, he gets to face the Dallas Cowboys this week.

897
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: How high do you have him ranked? He was my

898
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: RB five before I had to put Christian McCaffrey back

899
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: in the top five and knocking him out, But he

900
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: is very much so an RB one for me this week.

901
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: The the Cowboys defense, We've know they've given up a

902
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: ton of points all year, ton of yards, but I

903
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: think this is their offense would at least keep games

904
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: competitive and make teams have to throw against them. That

905
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: I am not expecting to be the case this week.

906
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: It hasn't been since really Jack's gone down and with

907
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: if I'm expecting the Steelers to be playing with the

908
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: lead throughout, I think it's going to be a lot

909
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: of riding James Conner in the second half. I feel

910
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: like this is going to be, you know, some some

911
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger throwing the football early, watching the Steelers get

912
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: out to a lead, and then third and fourth quarter

913
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: they just sort of grind this thing out. The hope

914
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: would be if you have James Conner, that they stay

915
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: with Connor the whole time and that they don't at

916
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: some point pull him and go to Bnny Snell late

917
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: in the game. But I do think that this is

918
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: a big, big game coming for the Steelers running back.

919
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: All right, next, let's go Hunter Henry tight end for

920
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. It seems like Justin Herbert coming

921
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: in has elevated just about everybody except really Hunter Henry.

922
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: Um he's the tight end I think fifteen right now,

923
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: which doesn't really necessarily need a whole lot considering the

924
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: state of the position. But how are you feel thing

925
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: about Hunter Henry now versus maybe how you felt about

926
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: him in the preseason? Not great? Like I got. Hunter

927
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: Henry was one of the tight ends that had the

928
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: upside to take that next step and be you know,

929
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like be what Darren Waller was or

930
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrew was last year, but similar to that, you know,

931
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: like a tight end that you can stream like that

932
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: you could start every single week and not really have

933
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: to worry about the position. And the first couple of

934
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: weeks it looked like he would be, but in three

935
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: of his last four games he scored less than eight

936
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. He's just one touchdown all year. Keenan Allen

937
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: is getting force fed the ball by Justin Herbert every

938
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: single week. Mike Williams is more involved now and that's

939
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: hurting Hunter Henry. I get it you can't like drop

940
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: him because of the state of tight end, but I

941
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: don't think that he is a guy that you just

942
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: you plug in your lineup and don't question each and

943
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: every week. Like I think there's better options some weeks,

944
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: and right now, I don't even think I have him

945
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: ranked to say tight end one this week. In the preseason,

946
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: he was one of those mid round tight ends that

947
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: I didn't necessary really feel great about, but I also

948
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: felt like of those sort of midrange titans, and maybe

949
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: he was the one with the best outlook. And I

950
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: will admit that maybe this is some of the residue

951
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: of how I felt about him coming out of college,

952
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: where I liked him and I thought he was a

953
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: good fit, and I've been waiting for the big breakout season.

954
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: The first couple of years, he was still kind of

955
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: sharing time and targets with Antonio Gates. Then one skates,

956
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: Gates left, Then Henry gets hurt and he's dealt with injuries.

957
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: Now he's healthy and he's in there with a quarterback

958
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: throwing the football well, and it just still isn't working out.

959
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: So maybe this just is who Hunter Henry is going

960
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL. And I am just I

961
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: would say that I'm kind of disappointed. Maybe I didn't

962
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: expect the moon. I wasn't expecting him to be a

963
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: top five tight end, but I was expecting more than

964
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: we've gotten this year. And it's a little bit frustrating,

965
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: especially because, like I said, Justin Herbert has been so

966
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: good for so many other Chargers pass catchers. He just

967
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: just hasn't really been good for Hunter Henry. All Right,

968
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 1: our last one, we're chasing the ghost of and Onnio Gates.

969
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: This offense, we absolutely are. Maybe Hunter Henri should have

970
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: played basketball. Maybe that's that's when he's missing. I think

971
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: I think we're onto it. Yeah, you didn't play basketball?

972
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: All right? Our last one here wells because chants for

973
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. And and this is a guy that

974
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: I know that I've loved all season long, and it's

975
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: had some some nice moments. You talked about Jake Luton

976
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: coming in to start at quarterback this week. How much

977
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: of an effect is that going to have on Chanal's

978
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: usage and production. I could definitely see it leading to

979
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: some more carries for chanaltause I'm expecting the Jaguars to

980
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: re lun rely heavily on their run game James Robinson,

981
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: and we know that Chant will get involved there here there.

982
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: The targets I'm not totally sure of because they've been

983
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: up and down already this year. I with a new

984
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: quarterback again, the pasting tendencies, we don't know who his

985
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: favorite target is going to be exactly. So I'm not

986
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: saying give up on Channel, but right now, like I'm

987
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: taking a wait and see approach with him before getting

988
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: him back in my line up. I if I have him,

989
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm dropping him, and I know he's

990
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: not rostered in a ton of leagues right now. But

991
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: if I have him, I'm still holding on to him

992
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: just because he does have that that jack of all

993
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: trades appeal. But I'm with you until we get a

994
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: sense of how this offense works with Jake Luton or

995
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: whatever their option is going to be, because I'm not

996
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: certain that Luton is going to be the starter for

997
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I mean, minshow could come

998
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: back and and take that job once he's healthy again.

999
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: I do want to see exactly what they're doing with

1000
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: chald I feel like he's sort of I guess the

1001
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: best comparison I'd have for him now is sort of

1002
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: what the Panthers are doing with Curtis Samuel right where

1003
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: they're using him in a lot of different ways. And

1004
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: maybe he'll have that big game like Samuel did on

1005
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: Thursday Night a couple weeks ago. But I don't think

1006
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen regularly enough, and I don't know that

1007
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: I that I feel confident enough, especially against the chiefs

1008
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: of this urrogancy of the Texans this week, UH to

1009
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: give him a start, So I would I would probably

1010
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: hold off on keeping him in my lineup. All right,

1011
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: It's time now for one of my favorite segments, Ask

1012
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: a Nerd, where we go to our pal matt Okada

1013
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: and we asked him to kind of dive deep and

1014
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: I'm up with some good research negets for us. This week,

1015
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 1: we asked our resident nerd about the best single game

1016
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: quarterback performances since the year two thousand. What do you

1017
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: got for us? Matt Thanks. Marcus ask a nerd has

1018
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: been on a roll for shadowing big fantasy games, so

1019
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: let's make it a three pet as we tackle the

1020
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: top five single game fantasy performances by a quarterback this millennium.

1021
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: At number five, we start with a big game for

1022
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: Big Ben Roethlisberger, who posted forty four point eight fantasy

1023
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: points against the Colts in week Big band through for

1024
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: five d and twenty two yards, tying Boomer Assison for

1025
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: fourth most in NFL history, and added six touchdowns. Number

1026
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: four might be a bit of a surprise. It's former

1027
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Eagles legend Nick Fulls. Fulls tied the NFL record with

1028
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: seven touchdown passes in Week n against the Raiders, adding

1029
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: four or six yards for a total of forty five

1030
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: point to fantasy. Number three in our less is Aaron

1031
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: Rodgers and his forty five point nine fantasy points, but

1032
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: not entirely for the reasons you might expect. Rogers had

1033
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: only four hundred and eight yards and four scores through

1034
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 1: the air, along with the only interception on our list,

1035
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: but added thirty six yards and two scores as a

1036
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: runner versus the Broncos in Week four, two thousand eleven,

1037
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: amainst his m v P season. Coming in at number

1038
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: two is Peyton Manning in the first game of what

1039
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: would become the greatest passing season in NFL history. In

1040
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: Week one, Manning became another member of the exclusive seven

1041
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: t D club and added four hundred and sixty two

1042
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: yards against the reigning Super Bowl champion Ravens for a

1043
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: final mark of forty six point three Fantasy points. And

1044
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: finally at number one, we journey back to Week ten

1045
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: to watch our second Eagles QB. The electric Michael Vick

1046
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: put up forty nine point three Fantasy points against Washington.

1047
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: Not surprisingly victed most of his work on the ground

1048
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: with eighty yards and two e d s, but he

1049
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: so I added three three or three yards and four

1050
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: to these through the air. That's it for week nine

1051
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: to ask a NERD, good luck to your starting qv

1052
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: this week and may the fantasy points be with you.

1053
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt. Good stuff as always. And you know,

1054
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks we've done this, uh, it

1055
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: has led to some some big performances. I mean, two

1056
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago we talked about wide receivers and Tyler Lockett

1057
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: blew up. Last week we talked about running backs, and

1058
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: it was Dalvin Cook who blew up. So that's been

1059
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: kind of on a role. So let's let's kind of

1060
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: do this conversation the way we have. Let's see if

1061
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: we can keep this going. If you could pick a

1062
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: quarterback who's been drafted since the year two thousand for

1063
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: your fantasy squad, who would it be? Marcus? This was

1064
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: one I didn't have to look up like stats or

1065
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: anything for. I went with my heart. I went with

1066
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: the player who really made me fall in love with football.

1067
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with Peyton Manning. Uh he was just for me,

1068
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: like a Bill's fan growing up rooting against Tom Brady.

1069
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: I was always on the Painton Manning side of that rivalry.

1070
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know, it was just so much fun

1071
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: to watch paint and all the time. And like one

1072
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: year I drafted him, he had the next surgery, my team,

1073
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: my season was over before it started. But then another

1074
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: he made up for it. I drafted him. I had

1075
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: him on that big week one game he had that

1076
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: you saw in Mantecatta. I had him, no Sean Marino

1077
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: and Eric Decker on the team. Rewrote like all the

1078
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: scoring records for that league, and uh, it was just

1079
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: one of the most fun years I had in fantasy

1080
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: and just payt Man and gave me so many good memories.

1081
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm going with him, all right. So I might be

1082
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: more prisoner of the moment, but I'm gonna go with

1083
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes just because the guy has been so lighted

1084
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: out just since taking over the starting job there in

1085
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I mean, he's we've gotten to the point

1086
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: that we're talking about drafting him in the second or

1087
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: third round in fantasy leagues. We expect he's gonna go

1088
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: out and give us huge numbers every week, to the

1089
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: point that when you know you only get twenty points

1090
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: out of Patrick Mahomes, we look around, We're like, what's wrong?

1091
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: Like what happened? What what went wrong with Mahomes this week? So, yeah,

1092
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: maybe it is some recency bias going on here, but

1093
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Patty Mahomes and and

1094
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: have him defining we all with Peyton certainly, but I'm

1095
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go more recent vintage if you will. Okay, So,

1096
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: since we talked about you guys overall, and I mentioned

1097
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: some of the guys recently that have had blow up games,

1098
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: after we've done Aska Nerd. If there's a quarterback this

1099
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: week that could have one of these all time top

1100
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: five games, who do you think it's gonna be. I'm

1101
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: going with Kyler Murray here. Uh. He scored twenty one

1102
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: fantasy points in every single game this year, so the

1103
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: floor for him to have like a big game is

1104
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: already there. And I think with no Kennyan Drake, we've

1105
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: already seen like like, Kyler Murray is their goal lineback

1106
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: and he's running a bunch. But with no Drake this week,

1107
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe he runs even more than he has been and

1108
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: that leads to a lot of fantasy points very quickly.

1109
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Kyler Murray. I'm gonna go

1110
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson here. He's had a string of four straight

1111
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: games of over three hundred yards, He's had two or

1112
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes in five straight games, and the Texans

1113
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: defense is not particularly good. Now. I know the Jaguars

1114
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: offenses we've talked about isn't necessarily gonna go out and

1115
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: put up thirty five forty points. Who knows, but I

1116
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: do think the defense will sort of Deshaun Watson in

1117
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: a situation where he has to throw the football and

1118
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: maybe he celebrates a little bit more because they didn't

1119
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: trade his number one target and Will Fuller. So I

1120
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: think if there's a guy at plus, look, there's still

1121
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: the running option to for for DeShawn. He's had three

1122
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: straight games with twenty five or more rushing yards as well,

1123
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: so there's some some extra points in there. So I'm

1124
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna pig Deshaun Watson as the guy who

1125
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: is who's gonna be the uh, the big time quarterback

1126
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: for you this week? Is there a game in particularly

1127
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: that you're looking forward to watching NFL wise this week? Um? Well,

1128
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm very biased in saying Bill Seahawks that is one

1129
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: that that I am very excited for. Besides that uh

1130
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: Saints box, I mean seeing Antonio Brown, what what's gonna

1131
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: come from that offense? That's one that I will be

1132
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: watching very closely. Yeah, I think that Saints Bucks game

1133
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be a lot of fun to watch. I mean,

1134
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: we saw a Week one, but now these teams have

1135
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: had a time to sort of get the custom with

1136
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: one another and kind of get in the rhythm, and

1137
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: the Antonio Brown factor I think is gonna gonna make

1138
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: it very interesting. Alright, that is it. We are done.

1139
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,640
