1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, October twenty second, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we notify

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: you of our injury status to me your man MG

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: and fellas normally like to start the show. A little

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: bit of happy chat, but not a lot of happy

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: to start this show, so let's.

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: Get into it. There were two Monday night games.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: You had the Chargers and the Cardinals, which was weird

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: because it went a whole lot of scoring, wasn't necessarily

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the most appealing game, and it was put behind a paywall.

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: That's a whole different story.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: The other game that most of us were able to

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: see without much trouble or without much trouble, the Ravens

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers. On the good side of things, you

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: had Lamar Jackson doing Lamar Jackson things, throwing five touchdown passes.

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: You had Derrick Henry running the ball like a madman,

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: getting in the end zone yet again. On the other

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: side of things, though, things not so great. Yes, Baker

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Mayfield did end up having a good fantasy day. The

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Bucks ended up losing, but bad news all around with

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Wide receivers. The big one, Chris Godwin

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: a dislocated ankle He's expected to have surgery later this

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: week has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Then the other one, maybe not as long term, but

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: equally serious, Mike Evans, who was trying to play despite

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a bad hamstring aggravated that hamstring injury and now looks

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: like he is out until at least after the Bucks

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: By in week twelve, so the or week eleven rather

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: week twelve being the earliest that he is expected back

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: this season. So, Florida, I'm gonna start with you here.

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Obviously this you know you're sort of looking at next

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: man up in the Tampa Bay Wide receiver room. I mean,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: my first thought was a BITVT to Jalen McMillan, but

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is there as well. Which one of these

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: guys would you rather have right now?

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: For fantasy?

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: McMillan, For me, I'm always a when it comes to

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: like two situations like this, I'm gonna go with the

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: young guy, the one that came with pedigree and stuff

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: more than the guy who is kind of past his rope.

42
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: But McMillan is one that I am willing to not

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: only pick up, but to spend some fab on this week.

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: Like in one of my leagues, I'm putting like thirteen

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: dollar bid on him out of one hundred. I only

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: have less than fifty left, so that is a good

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: chunk of it. But I'm also putting in on Shepherd

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: and Tucker like min bids either zero or one dollar

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: or something like that, just in case I'm wrong or

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: something like that. There will be volume up for grabs.

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: But even more than McMillan. I think the big winner here.

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: I think McMillan is the biggest wide receiver winner. But

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Kate Awton man like he was already getting so much

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: volume or starting to get more and more and more volume,

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: and then last night had ten targets and he's out

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: there in a lot of leagues and tight end being

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: what it is like grab kitaut in tonight when Waivers run. Yeah.

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Kayatton was a guy that I sort of liked as

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: a sleeper the last couple of weeks because he was

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: very quietly getting a larger share of the targets in Tampa,

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: and then we saw on Monday night him getting a

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of work, and you expect that's gonna go

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: up with Evans and God went out for at least

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. That God went out for the season,

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Evan's out for at least the next few weeks. So

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: ot and going to get a big part of that

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: target share in an offense that throws the football a lot.

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: But Lakwan, that does lead us to the quarterback question.

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: There in Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield was having a fantastic season,

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: both in real football and in fantasy football.

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, as of this moment, he is.

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: The second highest scoring player in all of fantasy behind

73
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: just Lamar Jackson right now, eighteen touchdown passes, seven interceptions,

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: and fifty nine passing yards.

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: He's even running the football a little bit, Lakwan.

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: For now, with his top two weapons gone, how much

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: does that impact Baker Mayfield. I felt like he was

78
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: getting to the point where he was kind of a

79
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: set and forget an option for you now, do you

80
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: have to think about it on a weekly basis?

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I really think this is going to be

82
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: where we see Baker Mayfield play a lot of hero ball.

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: This is gonna be where he's gonna be making those

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: bonehead mistakes like that interception in the red zone, Like

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: that's probably the worst area for a quarterback to turn

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: the ball over and scoring distance. And I feel like

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: now Baker Mayfield, without his two core weapons, he's going

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: to try to have to make whatever work with the

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: guys that he has in front of him to step up.

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: You're hoping Sterling Shepherd can step up in a way,

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 4: being that they have previous chemistry in college. You're hoping

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: Jalen mcmallon can step up and be that underneath guy

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: that can kind of stretch the field as well at times.

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: And Kate Odd and he's another guy that you know,

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: we talked about him getting more opportunities as the weeks

96
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: go on, and I think this might be the Baker

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: Mayfield that we saw last year where him and Rashad

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: White might connect a lot these checkdowns where you know,

99
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: a lot of shot away fantasy managers are probably you know,

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: unfortunate situations happy now that he could find a lot

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: more fantasy relevance having a season high on Monday Night

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: with a fantasy So I really think that Baker Mayfield

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: does not become an option of every week, you know,

104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: we start and forget where you might have to really

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: go out there looking on the waiver wire for Jameis Winston,

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: you know, which sounds disgusting right now, but it is

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: what it is. What Baker not having Mike Evans and

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: Chris Codman, well, it's going to be really tough to

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: go out there each week trying to think that Baker

110
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: Mayfield is going to be put up the numbers that

111
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: he did before.

112
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Well, and on top of it, when you look at

113
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: the upcoming schedule for Tampa Bay, it's not particularly friendly.

114
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: I mean, coming up this week they've got a big

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: matchup in the Division against the Atlanta Falcons, who defensively

116
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: are better, certainly than they've been over the last few years,

117
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: kind of middle of the back in past defense, but

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: certainly not as bad as they have been in recent years.

119
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: Then they go to Kansas City to take on that

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense, which is shut down just about everybody they've

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: run up on. Then they have to host the forty

122
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: nine Ers, who, again the Niners, maybe not the same

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: defensive team they were a couple of years ago, but

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: still not a defense that you really want to have

125
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: to fool around with. So it is just not a

126
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: great run over the next three weeks. Then they have

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: the buy in week eleven. Hopefully in week twelve you're

128
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: able to get Mike Evans back when you go on

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: the road to the New York Giants. So just a really,

130
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: really tough stretch for Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, and

131
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: now we're going to have some decisions to make when

132
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: it comes to putting them putting him in our fantasy lineup.

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Other big story that came out earlier in the week

134
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, who suited up we heard he had an illness.

135
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: He tried to go, couldn't go, ended up sitting out

136
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: most of that game against Kansas City. Turns out he

137
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: had pneumonia, He had fluid in his lungs, was admitted

138
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: to the hospital on Sunday. He has since been released

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: from the hospital, but no real timeline of when he's

140
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: going to get back on the field. So I mean,

141
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I'll ask both of you this. I'll start with you,

142
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: if you are looking for a niner off the waiver wire,

143
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: knowing that Samuel is out for who knows how long,

144
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Knowing that Brandon Ayuk is out for the rest of

145
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the season, who would you rather have Juwan Jennings, who's

146
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: expected back this week, or the rookie Ricky Piarsol, who

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: made his debut on Sunday against Kansas City.

148
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, I will probably play it safe here.

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: I'll put in waiver wires for both Ricky Piersoll and

150
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: Jawan Jennings, even maybe Jacob Cowing. I mean, honestly, I

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: feel like you have plenty of options here if you're

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: looking to replace a Brandon Ayuk or Diebo if he's

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: going to miss extended time. But honestly, I'll probably hang

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: my hat on Ricky Pearsall. I mean, we watched his

155
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: college states. The guy can make all the circus catches.

156
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: He just needs to get a little bit more adjusted

157
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: if you're looking for that big swing upside where I

158
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: think he could be a reliable target for Brock Berdy.

159
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: But Jawan Jennings banged up. We did see earlier in

160
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: the season. He did pop up, show up and show

161
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: out in times. But more so, I'm going to be

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: going with the young guy here where I think he

163
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: has a lot to prove. He's been waiting to get

164
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: on the field, So give me Ricky Pearsall. In this

165
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: offense moving forward.

166
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: How about you Florio Jennings or Piersol Jennings.

167
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: For me, I agree with Lakwan. I'm putting in bids

168
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: on all of them just in case, but the ones

169
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: where I'm spending fab is on Jennings because I agree.

170
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: I like Ricky Piersoll a lot. I still believe he's

171
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: kind of behind the eight ball a little bit. He

172
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: missed a lot of time this summer. He wasn't practicing

173
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: with them, but Jennings was. And not only that, we've

174
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: already seen Jennings step up when one of those two

175
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: top wide receivers have missed time this year. Even when

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: you came back, Marcus, you kept joking like, yeah, the

177
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: forty nine ers paid their wide receiver one and Brandon

178
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: Aiyuk this offseason because that's how much volume was going

179
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings way. So I'm willing to bet to bank

180
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: on that continuing. But I'm putting my big fat bits

181
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: in on him. But I'm putting backup bids on Ricky

182
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Pearsol and then even behind him on Cowing because of

183
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: what Lawan said, like if you miss out on one,

184
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: you still want pieces of this offense so, and my

185
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: belief is you should always put bids in because even

186
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: if you're like, this guy's gonna go for way more,

187
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: It's happened to me so many times where I end

188
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: up just putting a just in case bait and get

189
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: that guy. So put in bids for all three of them.

190
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: If you need wide receivers, that's the order I would

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: be putting them in. But yeah, you can never go

192
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: wrong with just throwing a bit in just in case.

193
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. I would say that if I'm

194
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: picking one.

195
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: If I had to pick one over the other, it's

196
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings just because we've seen him have a big

197
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: role in this offense. I said it before third in

198
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: Juwan was a real thing for this forty nine ers offense,

199
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: and I go back to the fact that there was

200
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: a good ten minute stretch when he was he was

201
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: the leading candidate to be Super Bowl MVP.

202
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: So I think the role is gonna be big for him.

203
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I think we'll see Pearsaw develop into something good along

204
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the way, but that may take a little bit of time.

205
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: So if you need help right away, I think Jennings

206
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: is your guy. If you're willing to wait and sort

207
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: of wait for someone to develop, then you know, take

208
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: the shot at Pearsaw. But like both of you guys said,

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: probably worth it to put bids in on both of them.

210
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: So there you go.

211
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: A rough stretch for wide receivers across the league and

212
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot of tough decisions for

213
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: fantasy managers going forward. So those are a couple of

214
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: things that we had questions about. In the meantime, have

215
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: some more big questions that we're looking at fantasy wise

216
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: for week eight and beyond the first one.

217
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: Lakwan is it over for Travis et In?

218
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: Like I know he was.

219
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: Hurt and that was the reason he didn't play this

220
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: past week in London, But Tank Bigsby looked so good

221
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: and has looked very good over the last couple of weeks.

222
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: Like, how worried should you be if you have Travis

223
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: et In?

224
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: You should be very worried. Him and Rashad White are

225
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: literally in the same boat. Like it's one of those

226
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 4: things where it's weird where you know they missed some

227
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: time and then their backup show up and show out,

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: Like I have this thing where you know I live

229
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: by it. If it's a weird thing, but I say,

230
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: if you take a day off where you go on vacation,

231
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: might lose your job and opportunities. And that's clearly what's

232
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: happened here in Jacksonville. You know, Travis Etn on the sideline,

233
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 4: he's looking like Michael B. Jordan, like doing his best

234
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: impression our side, Like he's smiling, shaking his head like yeah,

235
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: this is great, like we're getting the run game going.

236
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: But he's really crying inside because Tank Bidsby, Oh my god,

237
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: he's just been playing phenomenal. Like I don't see how

238
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: you go back to that, you know what I mean, Like,

239
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: how do you go back to Travis Etn leading the

240
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: backfield because he hasn't been efficient And I just think that,

241
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 4: you know, Tank Bigsby just gives you that boost. He

242
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: gives you that burst. There's some burst in the step

243
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: and he's like one of those guys that can pull

244
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: those over people like I love watching him play.

245
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: So Travis Etn handshake ice Cube from Friday getting fired

246
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: on your day off? Yeah, what's happening right now with

247
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: Travis Etn. I mean, look and when he comes back

248
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: and he's healthy, he's going to have a role in

249
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: this offense, but at this point it's hard to see

250
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: it being as significant as we thought it was going

251
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: to be and as it was at the beginning of

252
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: the season because he's just flat out getting out played

253
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: by Tank Bigsby Right now, Flouria, Do I have to

254
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: keep starting Anthony Richardson?

255
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: No pie behind the curtain of this week? I have Richardson.

256
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 3: I haven't written it yet, but I have him as

257
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: a sit in stardom sit him, And this one was

258
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: hard for me because he has had a lot of

259
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: success against the Houston Texans, but it's largely come on

260
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: the ground rushing touchdown wise, I think he has three

261
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: and two games against them, but the passing production just

262
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: is not there, and I think teams have kind of

263
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: figured out if you could take away his legs or

264
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: at least contain his legs and you don't let him

265
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: hit those home runs downfields. This is a team that

266
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: is really going to struggle to consistently move the ball

267
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: because of his accuracy issues. And this past week he

268
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: completed just ten passes for one hundred and twenty nine

269
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: yards three straight games. Now that he has started and

270
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: finished and been held to single digit Fantasy points, it's tough.

271
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: I get it. Some of you invested very highly in

272
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. You just can't get away. You might not

273
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: have an option or whatever, butack, some quarterbacks have hate

274
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: off the waiver wire and if you picked one up,

275
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: I think it is okay now to sit Anthony Richardson

276
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: until we see more signs of life.

277
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,359
Speaker 1: I mean, last year a fifty nine percent completion percentage.

278
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: This year it's even worse, forty eight point five percent

279
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: completions for Anthony Richardson in a league where sixty percent

280
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: is sort of the baseline for being a relevant, competent quarterback.

281
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: I know we love.

282
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: The guys who can run, but you have to be

283
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: able to back that up with being at least a

284
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: sufficient passer, and he has not hit that number. Has

285
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: not hit that threshold so far this season. On top

286
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: of it, he is just running less and being less

287
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: effective when he runs. Just one rushing touchdown so far

288
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: this season. He had four last year in four games.

289
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: And I do think some of that as Jonathan Taylor

290
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: being there because they did not play much together last year.

291
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: They didn't overlap at all. Taylor came back and was

292
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: healthy by that time. Richardson had the shoulder issue and

293
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't play against for the rest of the year. So

294
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: obviously having Jonathan Taylor there, it takes away from Richardson's

295
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: rushing ability and he is not nearly good enough a

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: passer to make up for it throwing the football.

297
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: Do they know each other?

298
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure they have.

299
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've been introduced at some point this season,

300
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of it.

301
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: When did Taylor get hurt this year? Let's check it out.

302
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: So he was there the first three weeks before Richardson

303
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: got hurt, and then they both got hurt in that

304
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: same game. Act. So yeah, they've played three games together

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: start and finish. Wow.

306
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it has not really that LaQuan. Are we

307
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: here for Alexander Mattis season? Is that a thing?

308
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: Now?

309
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

310
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Look, I mean the Raiders played your Rams on Sunday.

311
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: You got to kind of watch it a little bit.

312
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Is Alexander Madison a thing?

313
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: When you have matchups like that, I think you kind

314
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: of start thinking like there could be some here, but

315
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: absolutely not. I'd want no parts of this backfield. But

316
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: he is averaging twelve Fantasy points per game. But it's

317
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 4: like I'll only put him in if I'm depleted at

318
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: depth at the running back position, or I got a

319
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: guy on by, like I guess I'll throw him in there.

320
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: Like you're very happy that he's taken most of the

321
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: red zone touches and Zamir White is just basically dust.

322
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: So I just feel like, you know, you have to

323
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: really really be really down bad to have exally, oh

324
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: my god, Alexander Madison, as you're starting running back going

325
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: into the week, but I'm not here for.

326
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: It at all.

327
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Samir White played fewer snaps than a mirror Abdullah on Olay.

328
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where we.

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: Are, right, mister Stark. I don't feel so well.

330
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean right, I still go back to the offseason

331
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: when you know josh Acobs left, everybody's excited he's going

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: to be some mere White season. Alexander Madison got signed

333
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: and people were like, no, whatever, it's still it's still

334
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: some mere White season. He has not been good running

335
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the football, and he offers you very little as a

336
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: pass catcher. It's just it's hard to really get excited

337
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: about Zamir White. And maybe you're right, maybe Madison does

338
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: not offer a whole lot more, but he does offer more.

339
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: You know, I think the matchup bait. Like next week

340
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: it's the Chiefs don't like him, but in their matchups, right,

341
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 3: I have him in a deep league and I've played

342
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: him a few weeks already this season because he's getting

343
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: targets and he's getting goal line work.

344
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm I think that's sort of the thing.

345
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: Right Again, the fact that he catches the football kind

346
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of gives him at least a little bit more juice.

347
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Samir White, he doesn't catch the football and he's an

348
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: inefficient runner.

349
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: It just it just doesn't work at all for him.

350
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: All Right, let's look at some mid season fantasy predictions

351
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top of the show. We did

352
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: some awards, we did biggest disappointment in MVP on Monday show.

353
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: But let's spend things forward about some players we are

354
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: curious to watch in the second half of the season.

355
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because we're adding them and think you're playing

356
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: him late in the year. Maybe it's a dynasty situation

357
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: where you're sort of looking beyond twenty twenty four and

358
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: seeing what these players have to offer. We'll talk it

359
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: out right now, LQ. Who is on your radar for

360
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: the next few weeks.

361
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: I am on the Drake May train right now. I

362
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 4: just love everything that I'm seeing from him. Like I

363
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 4: watched his game very closely these last two weeks, and

364
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 4: like he's just phenomenal. He's literally the future for New England.

365
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 4: Like he's given this offense a way, like a whole

366
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 4: new identity, and like defenses need to take him serious.

367
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: And like we know he can get out of the

368
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 4: pocket when there's pressure, because we know how bad that

369
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: old line is, you know, the old lines Jersey numbers

370
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: are coming screaming at his face. But he's more so

371
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: just him cool, calm, collected in the pocket. Just he

372
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: will climb the pocket and keep his eyes downfield. So

373
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: these are little things that you're seeing from him, which

374
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 4: is like great to know, like moving forward for Fantasy

375
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 4: because like I said yesterday, like he's playing better than

376
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomesey's last two weeks man, Like he's averaging twenty

377
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: Fantasy points right now, Like this is insane. Like he's

378
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: definitely earned his spot on my especially especially with a runner,

379
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 4: you know, like being able to get out of that

380
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: pocket extended place. So I just absolutely dra loved Drake

381
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: May right now.

382
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think by Drake May, he's throwing the ball well.

383
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: Even though they don't have necessarily a ton of talent.

384
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: The Jalen Polk drops are becoming a thing right now,

385
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: or just his inability to get open is kind of

386
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: becoming a thing right now. But last week May or

387
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: actually go I guess s say Week six, May led

388
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots in rushing. This week is past week. He

389
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: was signed for the.

390
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: Team lead in rushing up.

391
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Granted that was only eighteen yards, but the point being

392
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: he will get out of the pocket and run. Is

393
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: that cheek code that we'd love to have for our

394
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks, Florida.

395
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: Who is your eye on in the second half?

396
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 3: A guy who literally you haven't been able to watch

397
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: a single snap of so far this season, but Jonathan Brooks.

398
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: I love Jonathan Brooks coming into the season, and I'm

399
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: not shying away. I don't think he's gonna live up

400
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: to the expectations I thought he would. I thought he'd

401
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: be back already by now. I thought he'd be starting

402
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: to take over this job. But I do think he

403
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: could still come back and be a very fantasy relevant

404
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: type running back. Chuba Hubbard is never going to go

405
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: fully away, but Chuba Hubbard was held in check this

406
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: past week. Miles Sanders gets involved, so I could see

407
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: it being a two headed backfield. But Brooks has explosiveness

408
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: for days. He can miss people, make people miss, He

409
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: can be used in the passing game. He could do

410
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: it all.

411
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Like.

412
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: That's why my expectations were him were so high. But yeah,

413
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what this Panthers offense might look like

414
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks after the trade deadline. But

415
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: I do know that in the second half of the year,

416
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks will be active. He will be getting reps

417
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: for this team. And my hope is if he looks

418
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: as good as I think he can look, he could

419
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: steal more and more workaway. And I think he still

420
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: has league winning upside. But Cheuba Hubbard is going to

421
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: be a thorn in that side.

422
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was not a thing that we anticipated

423
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: coming into the He's had a chance to be on

424
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: the Late Round podcast with the great JJ Zacharyese, we

425
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: kind of talked about the fact that Hubbard is a.

426
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: Free agent at the end of the year.

427
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: Brooks obviously in his rookie season, maybe they decide to

428
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: pivot a little bit and start to see Brooks a

429
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. But I think it depends on whether

430
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: or not Dave Canallys is sort of calling the shots

431
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: on that or this is a front office thing. It's

432
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the front office thing. I think we see more Brooks

433
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: if it's Dave Canalis. I think we continue to see

434
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Hubbard because he's helping them at least be competitive. Air

435
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: quotes right now, I'm going another rookie running back, and

436
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: we're all going rookies year, but I'm going Tyrone Tracy,

437
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: who they said that he was going to start getting

438
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: more opportunities in that offense in New York.

439
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: And it showed.

440
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: Now.

441
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: Granted, the Giants got thumped by the Eagles this past week,

442
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: but what you do love to see is that Tyrone

443
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: Tracy led the Giants running backs in snaps thirty seven

444
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to twelve over Devin Singletary just back off injury, and look,

445
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Tracy has been very explosive. He's been great with the

446
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: football in his hands, and it's good to see him

447
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: getting more chances. I'm sort of like in Carolina with

448
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Brooks and Hubbard. I don't think Singletary's every ever fully

449
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: going away. I think Brian Dabell, having had that previous

450
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: relationship with him in Buffalo is still going to get

451
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: him involved in things. But it's hard to deny that

452
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: you can get Tyrone Tracy some opportunities, especially in an

453
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: offense that is looking for a spark. Daniel Jones has

454
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: not been very good at the quarterbacks position, at least

455
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: not consistently. Yeah, so I think you just have to

456
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: see more Tyrone Tracy. I think he's earned the opportunity

457
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: for sure. Gonna take a quick break. Stick around for

458
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Back here on

459
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show, Let's get to.

460
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: Some waiver wire deep diyes. We did the waiver wire

461
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 2: on Monday.

462
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: But if we're going a little bit deeper, LaQuan, who

463
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: are we looking at?

464
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: I'm looking at Cedric Tillman Man. I liked everything I

465
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: saw from him on Sunday Man twelve targets, eight catches,

466
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 4: Like he played behind Amari Cooper really on the depth

467
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 4: chart in that role, and it looks like he's filling

468
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 4: in nicely for that role. I mean, solwill Winston checked in,

469
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 4: he made a nice twenty five yard completion and like

470
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: some of the little things that Tim was doing, like

471
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: not running into coverage, playing really good in the zone,

472
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 4: just making himself available for him And like I think

473
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 4: more so looking forward, they need somebody to step up

474
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 4: in this offense, like one of the young guys, and

475
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 4: he's definitely one of those players. Like I think Jerry

476
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: Judy checked out, like I said on yesterday's spot, like

477
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 4: just the body language of it. Like we know Jerry

478
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 4: Judy could be very explosive at times, but I really

479
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 4: think he's just over the whole Cleveland experience. And I

480
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: think Cedric Hillman could be the guy that can step

481
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: up and like find some fantasy relevance on the back

482
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: end of the season. So I'm looking for all the

483
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: wide receiver depth because they're dropping like flies. So if

484
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 4: I can get a talented six ' three wide receiver

485
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 4: that can make some of the big plays in the

486
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 4: red zone and end zone, I'm all for it.

487
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: Man.

488
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I like him a lot. And he had

489
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: twelve targets on Sunday. Seven of them came with Dorian

490
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson at quarter. Esp'll see what happens. We'll see

491
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: if dtr is back on the field. I know he

492
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: was dealing with a finger injury this past week. That's

493
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: what let Jamis get into the game. Who are you

494
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: deep diving for this week?

495
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: Mike Jatavian Sanders from the tight end from the Carolina Panthers,

496
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 3: because in his last three games he is averaging six

497
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 3: targets per game. In his last two he has sat

498
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: just around like nine point nine or double digit fantasy

499
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: points in each of the last two. And uh, this

500
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: is someone that I know, LaQuan you pointed out Bucky

501
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: Brooks was talking a lot about him during draft season.

502
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: Just a huge target six four, two fifty, So he

503
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: could be utilized in the red zone if the Panthers

504
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: ever kind of get the ball in the red zone.

505
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: He also could just be a yak guy for them.

506
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 3: Plus there's a lot of rumors of like Deontay Johnson,

507
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: Adam Thielen, some of these veterans potentially being available in trade,

508
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: and if something like that happens, that just opens up

509
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: more volume for Sanders. So with the bar for tight

510
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: end being so low and right now that look, I'm

511
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 3: not telling you to pick him up and start him

512
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: in like a ten team league, but if you play

513
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: in deeper leagues, I think he is already someone that

514
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: you could stream, and there's potential for him to just

515
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: keep getting better. This is something that I know we

516
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: kind of have discussed previously, but like with rookie tight ends,

517
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: he usually takes a little bit before they get going.

518
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: So I'm very encouraged with what he's been doing these

519
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks and hopeful that he could build

520
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: on it in the second half of the season.

521
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, big athletic tight end on a team that's just

522
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: looking for playmakers right now.

523
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: I think he's going to get more opportunities later.

524
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: In the season.

525
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsow is going to get more opportunities just because

526
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are shorthanded at wide receiver and

527
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: they need all the help they can get. There was

528
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: the expectation before the season started, when it looked for

529
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: a little bit like the Niners might be trading Brandon Ayuk,

530
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: that Pearsaw could sort of be the guy to step

531
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: in there, be a good route runner and win against

532
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: man coverage. Now it appears they may need him just

533
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: because injuries have taken their toll on this forty nine

534
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: Er offense. We saw him finally get back on the

535
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: field after being shot in a robbery attempt before the season.

536
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: He got out there in Week seven against the Chiefs

537
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: made his first NFL catch.

538
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see a lot more opportunities.

539
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: It could start as early as this week on Sunday

540
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: Night Football against a Cowboys defense that has been beaten

541
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: up and could be without a couple of pass rushers.

542
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence expected to be out, Marshawn Neiland expected to

543
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: be out, and Micah Pearson. Michael Parsons rather very much

544
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: still up in the air with his availability for Sunday Night.

545
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: So if we are adding guys, we got to be

546
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: dropping guys. Lakwan, who's going back to the free agent pool? Ooh,

547
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: you could say goodbye to ty Chandler Vikings backup running

548
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: back to Aaron Jones. I understand the need to have

549
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: the debt behind Aaron Jones, but honestly, he's toasted. He

550
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: has not been great with his opportunities and they traded

551
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: for cam Akers. I was very surprised to see that

552
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: he had a forty five percent roster share. I don't

553
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: know why folks are still holding on to him, and

554
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: it's time to say goodbye because he's just not efficient

555
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: has look great with his opportunities, and like I said,

556
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: cam Makers might be that backup to Aaron Jones. Yeah,

557
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: I was, I think very telling when they signed or

558
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: they traded for cam Akers again. Actually I thought it

559
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: meant that Aaron Jones was going to be a beat up,

560
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: but he actually played really well.

561
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: Lauria, who are you saying goodbye to Trey Sermon?

562
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: And I know this was He's not like a huge name,

563
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: but I have a lot of teams that need running

564
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: back help. Where I went like Hero running Back or

565
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: zero RB or something like that, and Sermon was someone

566
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: that I streamed the last couple of weeks and two

567
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: now almost three weeks ago. At this point, it was

568
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: good because he got the touchdown, he had the six targets,

569
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: but those running back targets for him and Goodson kind

570
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 3: of went away when we saw the move go back

571
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: to Anthony Richardson from Joe Flacco and then Goodson had

572
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 3: more carries than him. He produced him, he got the touchdown.

573
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: This past week, Sermon pretty much had almost all of

574
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: his fantasy production come on one drive late in the game.

575
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: So even if Jonathan Taylor, who is getting closer, if

576
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: he is out again next week. Goodson is a running

577
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: back that I would trust more than Sermon right now.

578
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: So it was fun. You helped me, You gave me

579
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: a win in the league in one week. But it's over.

580
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably over for him. I also think it's

581
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: over for DeAndre Hopkins right now. I mean, one, we've

582
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: just sort of seen the decline in Hopkins.

583
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Over the years.

584
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: But the quarterback situation in Tennessee is such a nightmare

585
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: right now. You've got on the one side Will Levis,

586
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: who is very aggressive at trying to push the ball downfield,

587
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: but not very accurate and prone to making horrific mistakes.

588
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: When he got hurt, we saw Mason Rudolph step in,

589
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: and Rudolph is not going to push the ball downfield.

590
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: He's very much going to be a checkdown guy. So

591
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: that does not help Hopkins in any way right now.

592
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: His best game this year came in Week three against

593
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: the Packers. He went six for seventy three and a touchdown.

594
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: Only time.

595
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: He's been about fifty five receiving yards so far this

596
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: season on pace right now for about forty three catches,

597
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: which would by far be a career low. Really, it's

598
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: hard to really count on any pass catcher in that

599
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans offense, but the new compkins very much among them.

600
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: At this point, there's so many other wide outs there

601
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: that you can get a look at that it doesn't

602
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: really make sense to be holding a space on your

603
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: roster for him.

604
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: So uh, we we love you.

605
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: Know you've been great for so many years, but at

606
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: this point it looks like father time has has finally

607
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: gotten up to you.

608
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: So there it is all right.

609
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: That'll do it though, for this edition of the NFL

610
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Podcast, they happy, safe and healthy.

611
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: Do good and live well and enjoyed. Theday is everybody,

612
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: and we will talk to you again tomorrow.

613
00:28:36,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: Wow. All the
