19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to Monday night Football was trying

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: to put it off, but here we go. A highlight

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: of Monday night Football Giants versus the Vikings. There Freeman

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: getting a start after showing up yesterday the Vikings facility.

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Eli Manning under a minute to play. First quarter, Giants

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: are punting return man Marcus share Els. Here you go.

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: You see the flag would not come to bear any fruit,

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: though that little bit put the crossover on momat six

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: yards for the touchdown. The penalties as I mentioned on

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: colling what could have been a horse coll on one

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: weather first dollars down the drain. Tom Coughlin, a little

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: upset tends to get upset when things like that happened.

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Vikings lead seven three. Here he goes. Second quarter, Giants

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: first and ten, Manning to Randall for the one four. No,

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: note had an opportunity right before that play and dropped it.

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: I quit the route and dropped it. Giants Lee ten

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: seven at halftime. Now, who's that? H I L L.

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm coming straight from house. Fantasy alert. Peyton has fourteen

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Tommy point seventeen seven Giants fourth quarter under a minute's play.

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Here's the fourth and eleven. Josh Freeman accuracy, No, not

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: so much, too far out of his receiver. Just seven

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: days in this offense. Yeah, and there he is no

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: business starting that game in the first place. And you

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: see there twenty that that is a five twenty of

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: fifty three. That's a lot of passes and a lot

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: of antequtes. Look in in Leslie Fraser's defense, they don't

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: have a real good running back on that team, so

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: you don't on the ball. You'd be better served having

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: a guy that showed up midweek throw fifty three passes

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: and tell you something. This is something I never thought

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I would say. After Peyton Hillis's big season in Cleveland,

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: he scored more fantasy points that Peterson nearly, which has

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: been crazy more how does that happen? I don't get it.

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Twelve carries, twelve carries, and there is strife and in

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Minneapolis because of it. Adrian Peterson clearly not happy with

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: his role in that game and opportunity for the Vikings

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: to pick up a win against a struggling New York

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: Giants team they did not. So let's get to it.

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: Josh Freeman fifty three pass attempts and of the fifty three, oh,

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: I'd say about fifty two of them were wildly off target. Well,

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: they're wildly off target because in his six sixth frame.

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw him overthrowing. You saw him throwing

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: him too high, and there's times that he's throwing it

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: too low. You know, he just wasn't comfortable in his offense.

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: They could tell that around him. The paralysis by analysis

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: is what they call that on the football field, and

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: it showed. But you know, shame on the on the

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: coordinators for not getting Adrian Peterson the ball to get

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: him going to build that confidence in the young quarterback. Well,

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: and speaking of those coordinators, fabs, what did they not

69
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: lean on this guy right here? Adrian Peterson a lot

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: of play action fakes. All he was doing was blocking,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: staying in to protect Josh Freeman for what. I don't know.

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Maybe they have the Giants defense

73
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: on their fantasy team. I have no clue, but Adrian

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Peterson needs to get more than thirteen carries against the Giants,

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: who are all banged up on defense. This was just

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: an awful display. And part of this is on Adrian

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Peterson because remember last season he ran against eight and

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: nine man box, so he's very capable of running against that. Yes,

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: they stopped the stacked the box off, but this Giants defense,

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: they came off the ball, they shed blockers and was

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: able to stop Adrian Peterson and he was not productive. Well,

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: and I do look you mentioned they did not they

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: did not fear the passing attack of Christian Ponder. Last

84
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: year Adrian Peterson still Darnier broke the single season rushing record.

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: The difference here was they really didn't respect the passing game.

86
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: You mentioned the coordinators and sham on them for not

87
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: getting Adrian Peterson the ball, sham on them for playing

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Josh Freeman in the first place. He looked like he

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: had no christiness being out there, did not know what

90
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: the offense was supposed to do. They were in wrong positions.

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: He was constantly trying to look to his receivers to

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: figure out which way they were going. It was, it was.

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: But here's one thing, here's one thing out of all

94
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: those low lights that we saw from Josh Freeman, here's

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: one thing. He said he's got a stronger arm than

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Christian Ponder. So I think definitely as he starts to

97
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: mature in this offense, they can definitely get some more

98
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: the vertical game going with Cordell Patterson and Greg Jennings

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: as well to JaMarcus Russell. Well, he's a better quarterback

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: to JaMarcus. That's not fair with him. A full week

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: with the offense with Green Bay. A little too early

102
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: to write off everybody on the bikes just yet. Let's

103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: get one more look at it. Let's go to the

104
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: running back that showed up midweek and people didn't even

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: realize he was still playing football in New York. Brandon

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Jacobs just destroyed the Bears and then was in pedestrian

107
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: clothes on the sideline. So Peyton Hillis was the guy fast. Yeah, unbelievable.

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: And yesterday on Twitter, people were asking me, well, who's

109
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna start? It went from Peyton Hillis and it was

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: Michael Cox and it was back to Peyton Hillis. He started,

111
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: he was the better back. And I gotta tell you

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: what six teams off if Brandon Jacobs doesn't play against

113
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles in Week eight, I guess who's gonna be

114
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: on the waiter wire and picked up by a lot

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: of people in fantasy. He in Hillis. This this season

116
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: has been insane. I can't believe he came straight off

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: the couch to do it. But I'll tell you another

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: guy that I was impressed with was Ruben Randall. Randall

119
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: is a straight ball, and you can forget every thing

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: that you know because you're so in love with Victor

121
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Kruz and his ability to salsa dance HA team. You know,

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, my son works. He hadn't worked for you

123
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, and so Ruber ran On Eli

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: Manning sees that and now all of a sudden, he's targeting,

125
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: he's beating. Look at this beats his man on one

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: on one coverage. You've got to do that when you're

127
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. And he did it. Well. You know

128
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: what he showed. He showed energy, he showed that he

129
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: wanted to be there, and that's something that you would

130
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: think of Keen Nicks would show, considering he is in

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: a contract year, but he didn't. Some way to go

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Ruben Randall. The other big obviously performer was the Giants defense,

133
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: and they've always been big performance because they sacked the

134
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: quarterback a lot just hasn't happened this year up to

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: this point, Fast and Fantasy, they've been awful. So a

136
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: lot of people did not start the Giants defense, and

137
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: I would not tell you to go out and pick

138
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: them up because this was probably a one week thing,

139
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense scored a lot of fantasy points to

140
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: mostly on that kick return. Yeah exactly from Cheryl's all right,

141
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: well there you go. That's gonna do it for the

142
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Monday game and week seven. Time to take a look

143
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: at the latest news and headlines as we look forward

144
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: to week eight. Alright, money, thank you. Time for some

145
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: news and notes. Adam Rink here to give you the

146
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: fantasy spin. Hello Adam, Hello, we start in the big

147
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: easy as ESPNS. Adam Schefter reports that Jimmy Graham is

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: still not a hundred percent after the Saints bye week. Adam,

149
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: are you worried about starting Graham this week? Very worried

150
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: about this A lot of times when big name players

151
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: end up on the injury report. I think of Calvin

152
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Johnson a couple of weeks ago. We kind of brushed

153
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: it aside. No, it's a big name, he'll play. But

154
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: we saw that a couple of weeks ago a Megatron

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: didn't play. So I'm very concerned. So if you have

156
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham on your team, go out and get Jordan

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: read Good pick up as I do. Graham before the

158
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: injury led the league in receiving yards Meanwhile, in the

159
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: city of Brotherly Love, the Matt Berkeley era in Philadelphia

160
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: may have already reached its end for now. The Philadelphia

161
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Inquirer reports Michael Vick will be back at quarterback for

162
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles Week eight against the Giants, despite battling a

163
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: hamstring injury that has kept him out of two games. Adam,

164
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: are you concerned about Vic's effectiveness? I know you like

165
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: this matchup, though. I really do like the matchup, and

166
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: I look at the Giants defense, and I think Michael

167
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Vick can go out and get a lot of points

168
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: in that team. I like to Shaun Jackson, like Shadey

169
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: McCoy this week. I like all the guys. I don't

170
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: like Matt Barkley and Nick Foles also obviously out with

171
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: that head injury. In the Big D. Cowboys head coach

172
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett was asked yesterday about the possibility of shutting

173
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: down Miles Austin. Here's what he had to say about

174
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: the injury. Plague receiver warmed up well, So we gave

175
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: him a chance to play in the ball game, and

176
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I thought he did fine. He's not quite himself. Uh.

177
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: He really had a good start to the season. And

178
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: had some explosiveness and quickness to him was very productive

179
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: for us. Then he then he tweaked that Hamstrom a

180
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and hasn't really been the same.

181
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: So we got to make sure we get him healthy

182
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: and and hopefully we can we can do that and

183
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: have some other guys play for him until he's ready

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: to really roll. All right, Adam, clearly not himself, is

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: now the time to drop Miles Austin. We told you

186
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: to drop on a month ago. This guy has been

187
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: injury prone for a long time. At me, I am

188
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: mad at you. I'm taking that very personally. But Terrence

189
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Williams is the guy to go and pick up. Before

190
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, He's shown even with Miles Off sit

191
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: in there, he was the number two receiver behind As Bryant,

192
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: So Nolan Miles Austin is no longer in there. Terrence

193
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: Williams is the guy to own. He had another touchdown

194
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: this week, of course every week he does, Adam, And

195
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: it's that time of year where players return from the publist.

196
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: One of those players is Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin.

197
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: Is now a good time for owners to grab the

198
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: playmaker before the rest of the pack jump on board. Absolutely.

199
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Of my forty five teams that I have, I think

200
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: forty I exaggerate a little bit, but most of them

201
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: are derivatives off of Percy Harvin's name. I'm excited about

202
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: him coming back. The only caveat there is that they

203
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: play on Monday night, so it's a little bit risk.

204
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: And let's you have like Golden Taylor, Sydney Rice who

205
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: you can put in there in case Percy doesn't play.

206
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a real big risk. The Seahawks have

207
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: to activate him in the next three weeks or he's

208
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: done for the year. At what we're gonna see. No,

209
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: he's practicing, So just make sure he's on your rust.

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Got it. Another player set to come off the publist

211
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: is the Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart. What is Stewart's

212
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: value as he eyes a Week nine return to action. Yeah,

213
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: you really need to pick this guy because you will

214
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: see as we go on this week talking about all

215
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: the injuries, all the bye weeks, that Jonathan Stewart is

216
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: somebody to pick up and own on your roster. And

217
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: I like him going forward. I like him to eventually

218
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: come up and take the job away from D'Angelo Williams.

219
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Williams had his opportunity to go out and establish himself

220
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: as the number one running back, but it always see,

221
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: he just can't do it. He just can't get over

222
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: the hump. We've always spelled that Jonathan Stewart was the

223
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: more do you think they want to put? All? Right?

224
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: More good news and hot Atlanta as Falcons head coach

225
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Mike Smith expects running back Stephen Johnson to return to

226
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: practice this Wednesday. Adam, if s Jacks is good to go,

227
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: do you hesitate putting him in your lineup this week?

228
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: Which of my forty five teams we were talking about

229
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: because I have them in virtually every one of No,

230
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: because I drafted Stephen Jackson and the majority of them.

231
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: And you know what, your quiz, Rodgers has been so

232
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: good in his absence that I'm not sure that Steven

233
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Jackson is going to come in and be the number

234
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: one running back there. So I'm gonna wait. I want

235
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: to put him back. I wanted a little bit of

236
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: a return on my second round and bad sman, But

237
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: until he comes out and shows me something, I really

238
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: can't trust them. And obviously they have smelling as well.

239
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Now we head up North. Bill's head coach Doug Maron

240
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: was asked yesterday about the poor play of running back

241
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller. Here's what he had to say. I

242
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: would think the injury it had everything, you know what

243
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, really to deal with it, not not some

244
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: of it. And I think that it's the same thing.

245
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: You know, we're looking at the production seeing if he's

246
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: getting better and not putting him out there in jeopardy.

247
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: What do we do here? I want to be one

248
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: of those guys in the crowd just asking him questions like, hey, Doug, yeah,

249
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: Adam rank here, remember when you said you're going to

250
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: run him three D And is it the ankle or

251
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: is it he's just not playing very well? I mean,

252
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: be a stand up comedy routine with you and there.

253
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I think it's like a cold open of Saturday Night

254
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Live or something like. Anyways, Fred Jackson has been the

255
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: much more effective running back there. Well, you know what,

256
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about that when we get to my rankings. Ranks, ranking, ranks, rankings.

257
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe. I can't give it all away at

258
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: the top of the show. Got to leave something we

259
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: wait for them every Wednesday. We call that a tease

260
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: in the business. One other thing I want to mention

261
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: Indie some unfortunate news. Reggie Wayne officially on the I

262
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: r with that torn meniscus and a c Also keep

263
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: your eye on Darius Heyward Bay and t Y Helen.

264
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Oh No, I got a guy that you gotta you

265
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: gotta say. I can't give it away now. Ranks eleven

266
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: comes out on Wednesday. I'll have them then, bro still

267
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: to come. We visit the Fantasy Bar. Yeah, you heard

268
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: me correctly, where we share stories of fantasy pain as

269
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: we seek solace. Heading into the midway point, one of

270
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: our fantasy experts made us smooth move in week seven.

271
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Will tell you what he did and how you can

272
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: follow his lead to fantasy success. He's certainly enjoying that success.

273
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: That's coming up next NFL Fantasy Live and Off the

274
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: Mathews in the party running all did you get to

275
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the goal? Yes? Few light to the is. Now we're

276
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: time for the Lenovo Fantasy Coach of the Week. Here

277
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: winner winner chicken Dinner. The winner is Matt money Smith,

278
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: who beat America's team. It's very dangerous to crown you

279
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: because the last time I was here, Molly. That was

280
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: the last time I appeared at this test. We all

281
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: know why. When you got that one win against me,

282
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: that's one for the back. Many times have we played

283
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: one time undefeated right here against Molly Karam and Team American.

284
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that in a minute. Yeah, way

285
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: to keep track of your record. So you started Ryan

286
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Matthews over Rochard menten Hall. Take us through that process. Well,

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: it was a tough thought process, I'll tell you. Because

288
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Richard menten Hall's playing on Thursday night. I like playing

289
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: running backs on Thursday night because quarterbacks typically do not

290
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: fare very well. It's a vanilla package on offense, which

291
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: means a lot of running backs. But I opted to

292
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: sit Rochard ment in Hall because they were playing the Seahawks.

293
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: You look at the Jaguars defense, you feel pretty good

294
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: about Ryan Matthews, who, by the way, a bit of

295
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: a renaissance here for Ryan Matthews. He's rushed for over

296
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards three of the last four games. I like

297
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews moving forward as well. So that's kind of

298
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: what into the thought process. It was more so the matchup.

299
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's show your team now against America's team and I

300
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: know you were very happy to take down America. I was,

301
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: and you see here I got big production from what

302
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: I like to call the big free right there, the

303
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: two backs and the dominant wide receiver that is Calvin Johnson.

304
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I picked late in the draft, so I got four

305
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: to in the first round, came right back to Calvin Johnson.

306
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: I defeated America's team without even having the benefit of

307
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: my third round pick, Drew Brees. I'd like to point

308
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: out Nick Foles. I expected to do big things for me.

309
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: But you know what more important than this scoreboard and

310
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: me dominating America's team by thirty points. I think there

311
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: was a more important issue at hand, Molly, and if

312
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I could just get to my single here this is.

313
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: This is a message I like to share with the

314
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: people because see right here, I um, I got this,

315
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I got this right here. This comes um from viewer

316
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Sandra Q from Waterbury, Connecticut, and it says derresk Mr Smith.

317
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to share my great concern and source of

318
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: consternation as it pertains to Team America. You see, I

319
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: fear Team America has been relying on past successes. They've

320
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: grown arrogant, complacent, and desperately need a reality check to

321
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: forge ahead. I feel Suey Soup Sifters are the perfect

322
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: vehicle for this reminder. Well, Sandy, First of all, Mr

323
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: Smith is too formal. You can call me Matt. I

324
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: hear your concerns, and that's why this week was important

325
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: for me. Molly, I'll tell you why. Because Team America

326
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: has gotten complacent. They are relying on that five game

327
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: win streak against competition. Sandra Que's last name Karen, I

328
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: don't know, and it just said Sandra Cue. But here's

329
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: what I'll tell you. Articulate. Here's what I'll tell your

330
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Team America. You may know that George Washington crossed the Delaware,

331
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: but you don't know what Nathaniel Green did to get

332
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: him to that point. They don't know who Betsy Ross is.

333
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: They don't know what a rampart is that they're watching over.

334
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: And that's why Team America had to go down. And

335
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: that's why this guy was the one that got the

336
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: w Please don't give this man any more coffee. Thank

337
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: you Sandra Que from Waterbury the Dirty Water for writing

338
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: in Ryan Matthews. You started him just because of the matchup. No,

339
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I started him to defeat Team America. That's why I

340
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: started Molly and the matchup as well. Okay, moving on here, though,

341
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: you have quite the decision this week Week seven, Both

342
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: your backs matth Forte and Ryan Matthews are on a buy.

343
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: So what do you plan on doing to fill the

344
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: void and win game? Obviously I feel good about Richard Manton.

345
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Holly got that touchdown against the Seahawks. He is certainly

346
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: still the feature back in Arizona ahead of dre Allington,

347
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: even though we've grown a little enamored with the backup,

348
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: like we do any backup that starts to get a

349
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: little bit of love. But I'm gonna hit the waiver

350
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: wire and I like Jonathan Stewart. Jonathan Stewart's gonna come

351
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: off that publist this week. Carolina likes to run the ball.

352
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: What did I just say about Thursday Night Football Vanilla defense?

353
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: They run a lot, not a lot of fancy packages,

354
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball all over the place. So I'm going

355
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: to pick up Jonathan Stewart, start him, and you know what,

356
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I get to win. Maybe I don't this week,

357
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: but I like Jonathan Stewart moving forward, because that's what

358
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Carolina likes. To do. That's how they had their success

359
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: at three and three. Now with the dominant defense, they

360
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: are going to stick to the ground game, and that

361
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: means Jonathan Stewart gonna have a lot of touches moving forward,

362
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: specifically in that goal line packet. So I'm very comfortable

363
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: starting him this week, so we know he's eyeing a

364
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: week nine return. Okay, So Ryan Matthews over rochard Men

365
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: and Hall beating America's team makes you the Novo coach

366
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: of the week. My friend, COPD have you back sometime.

367
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: I hope you're not one and done. No, come on,

368
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: it would be two and done by the way, because

369
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: I defeated you a couple of weeks ago. And again

370
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: a big thank you to Sandy for sending that letter

371
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that really just got gluing. It took down. Now simmer down,

372
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: we got a we got a full show to get too,

373
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: still to come. Just because their backup on the depth

374
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: chart doesn't mean they won't help you take home the win.

375
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: In fantasy, we've got a few backups to plug and

376
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: play for your injured stars that's coming up, plus which

377
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: all the players off the waiver wire could make the

378
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: difference for your roster and week aide. We're breaking down

379
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiana's top targets as NFL Fantasy lines rolls on Thursday.

Speaker 1: with the Bucks. Panthers Bucks Thursday Night Football Thursday at

383
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern, Live on NFL Network. Hello everyone, and

384
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the Fantasy Cantina. I'm your friendly bartender, Adam Rank,

385
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: here to serve up a cool glass of fantasy advice.

386
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: Look at these morose guys right here. Mike, how's the

387
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: world treating you like a baby treats a diaper? At

388
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: him like a baby treats a diaper. That seems pretty bad.

389
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is killing my fantasy team. Tom. You know

390
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: this reminds me of a story. I remember one time

391
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I had a relationship with Cam Newton. I was head

392
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: over heels, and you know what, I traded him away.

393
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: You can imagine how disappointed I was when he ended

394
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: up winning a title with some other guy that same season.

395
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: You know, I've been faithful to Tom for seven weeks

396
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: and he's given me one good week. I'm ready to

397
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: break up with him. Well, let me tell you why

398
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: you should stick with Tom Brady. If you look at

399
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks and how many drops they've had over

400
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, or excuse me, the last

401
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It hasn't been good. Tom Brady has

402
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: been victimized by bad receiving more than anybody else. Look

403
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: at the numbers here drops this season. That's a lot.

404
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: But now he's got Rob Gronkowski and beg Shane Vereen

405
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: is gonna come back in week eleven. When you start

406
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: looking forward, Michael, trust me, tom Brady is going to

407
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: be there for you. You don't want to you don't

408
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: want to cast him aside to have him win for

409
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: somebody else. You know what. He had Gronkowski back last week,

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: you know, and he gave me eight points. That was

411
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: last week. He's got the Dolphins this week. But what what?

412
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: What's your troubles young man? Man? I've got ninety nine problems,

413
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: but my bench ain't one. It really isn't. It's my starter.

414
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller. C J. Spill. I went out and

415
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: invested a first round pick this guy. I thought he

416
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: was gonna be all this from my roster and he's

417
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: done nothing. He's done You know what this reminds me? Yeah,

418
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: I remember the Bell Sisters, Beverly Enjoyce boy. One of

419
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: them was a model. She was the one that everybody wanted,

420
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: but she would break your heart. You want the dependable one.

421
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: That's where you gotta go. Fred Jackson has been the

422
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: most dependable running back for that team. As a matter

423
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: of fact, let me give you some numbs because his

424
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: quarterback is not even good. Take a look at this

425
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: production from C. J. Spiller. It just has not been good.

426
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: We expected him to come out and get three hundred

427
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: and fifty carries. That's what they were talking about. They

428
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: were going to run him doing pukes. But look at this.

429
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: It's fantasy owners who have put in Fantasy points average.

430
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Oh is his numbers are down a bar You gotta

431
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: you gotta keep on the bench. This is a guy

432
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I understand. He was the apple of your eye at

433
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: the one point. But now it's time to move on.

434
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: Is it time to go? Just so? Friend Jackson, let's

435
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: say the friend Jackson will takes them out of it.

436
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: You're amongst friends. Why don't you sit here? What do

437
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: you got? I heard you somebody else is bugging that

438
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. You know, Chris Johnson is absolutely destroying my

439
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: fantasy team. You know, I feel like it's a dog

440
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: eat dog world and I'm wearing milk going underwear. He

441
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: is really hurting me this season, and I don't know

442
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: what to do with it. You know, I'm I'm familiar

443
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: with this, this Chris john Scott. Just the other day,

444
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: I was walking out of this bar. There was young

445
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: man sitting there holding the sign said he would trade

446
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson for virtually anything. Well not anything, because I

447
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: offered him, you know, the San Diego Chargers defense, and

448
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: even turned down that office. But he would trade him

449
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: for anything. And I understand. Take a look at these

450
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: numbers from Chris Johnson. They just aren't good. Now. I

451
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: understand last week he had a pretty good game. You

452
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: were excited about it. He got back into the ten

453
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: point range. But look at that two touchdowns, all those

454
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: points right there, all his other a hundred eight touches,

455
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: three point it was a matter of fact, he's averaging

456
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: four point one yards per touch. I thought, it's not good.

457
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: Help me feel good. What do I do with Chris Johnson?

458
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: You gotta put him on the bench. Don't be don't

459
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: be caught off guard by one big week. If he

460
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: does that again, then you can trade him. I have

461
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: somebody else take that problem from you. You know, I

462
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: could trade you, Chris Johnson. That's not who's who's bugging you. Now.

463
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever had heartbroken? Oh? Many times? Heart's broken.

464
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: I've got this guy, Larry Fitzgerald. Larry Fitzgerald, he's just

465
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: been hate all the wrong guys. He's just yeah, he's

466
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys around. They are a bunch

467
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: of sloppies. Yeah he was. He was with that religious

468
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: fellow a couple of years ago. Was so good, and

469
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: now he's falling in with the wrong crowd. Here's the

470
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: thing that just confuses me. He has so many excuses.

471
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: It's oh, I don't have a quarterback. Oh I went

472
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: through so many quarterbacks. How do you ever receiver? Imo?

473
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Site of me? They're bringing and rolling the press coverage

474
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. What happened? And then all of

475
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's okay, I got some good news for you.

476
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: Take a look at what happens when this Carson Palmer fellow,

477
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: when he actually goes out and targets Larry Fitzgerald. Look

478
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: at the production. You look right there, fourteen targets against St. Louis,

479
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: it's twenty points nine targets against Tampa Bay Is twelve

480
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: point eight and San Francisco. He had a big game

481
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: with those twelve targets this week on the road. Can

482
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: just getting a little home at home? Of course it's

483
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons this week. He saw what Vincent Jackson

484
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: did to that defense. For me, should I play him?

485
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: What should I do with him? Start him this week

486
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons. I guarantee he'll be good for you,

487
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280

Speaker 1: big day in Week eight. This is NFL Fantasy Live

499
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: and we get a look here. What a week you

500
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about attrition? Week seven notable injuries. Look

501
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks Jay Cutler, Sam Bradford or Michael Finley.

502
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Very scary moment there at the lamb a Field after

503
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: the hit frontation Gibson. Nick Folds of course out with

504
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: the head injury. Matt Barkley looked fantastic in relief there,

505
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Harry and Foster a hamstring, Doug Martin a shoulder, My goodness,

506
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: Ben take the backup to Aaron Foster with a RIF injury.

507
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: It just keeps getting worse and worse. And with so

508
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: many notable fantasy stars out of the lineup and six

509
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: teams on buys this weekend, it is likely at them

510
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: that people are going to be scraping the bottom of

511
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: that proverbial barrel this week. So I've been starting Mike

512
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: glennon and you know what I actually did starting once

513
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: it's been it's been pretty bad. So let's help him out.

514
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: What backups can people at least rely on that we're

515
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: not going to say, maybe put up big numbers, but

516
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: you at least feel good about when you're looking at

517
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: that starting lineup. Well, you're talking about Doug Martin just

518
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: a moment ago. With him not being able to play

519
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: for some time, it seems you're gonna have to go

520
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: pick up Mike James and put him into your lineup.

521
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: And you don't like him this week against the Carolina Panthers,

522
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: who have been very tough against the run so far

523
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: this season. But what we're talking about right now is opportunities.

524
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: That's basically what you're looking for, especially with all the injury,

525
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: with six teams on a buy, the biggest thing going

526
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: forward right now is opportunities, and it looks like he's

527
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: going to get that chance. Yeah, I'll go to a

528
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: pass catcher. I was at Lambo as a matter of

529
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: fact for that game against the Browns, was not sure

530
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: how Boykin would perform. Well, better than we expected, that's

531
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: safe to say. A hundred yards and a touchdown. You

532
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: see the team high ten targets. They do split them

533
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: out wide there. So with the return of James Jones,

534
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: I still think he will be a viable option like

535
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: any pass catcher is in the Green Bay offense. Especially

536
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: which are Michael Finley likely out again and they don't

537
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: have another pass catching tight and Andrew Porliss is not

538
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: that So I like Boyken moving forward. And two weeks

539
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: ago he had six targets when everybody was there, so

540
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: he was given the opportunity. But now it seems like

541
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: him and Aaron Rodgers have a little chemistry going. No question.

542
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to the running game, because again

543
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs and this is like any

544
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: season to go down, is there a viable start out

545
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: there for a backup? This week? Ring about Roy Hello,

546
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: should we talk about Shannahannas just for you? It's back

547
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: and just for you. It's hard to believe this wasn't

548
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: personal because I came out on Sunday and they said

549
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Freddy Morris was gonna have a monster day. Of course,

550
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: Roy Halloo goes out and steals three touchdowns. But when

551
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: you start looking at this, when we're looking at guys

552
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: who were gonna have to pick up plugging and play,

553
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: you look at Roy Halloo and he's had at least

554
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: seven Fantasy points and his last three games the Broncos

555
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: have given up a ton of fantasy yards. You look

556
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: like Donald Brown did as a backup last week against

557
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. I'm gonna I'm gonna start Roy Hallo

558
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: in one league, and I realized he's probably not gonna

559
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: come through for I should probably bench him because Sinahan

560
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: will find out that I'm starting him high that it

561
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: will be all Freddy Morris, Yeah, no doubt, and you

562
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: know it will be a third back that ends up

563
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: coming in or a full back that steals all your carries.

564
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: But here we go. How about playing Harry Douglas. I

565
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: don't think I'm breaking any news here with Julio. With

566
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Julio Jones out and not Julio, but Julio, Harry's your guy,

567
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. Twenty point nine fantasy points

568
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. You look at the matchup this week

569
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: and you know whether Harry drew Darrell Rivas or whether

570
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: he drew the opposite corner. You feel good against Arizona

571
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: because he proved that he can catch passes against Darrell Rivas,

572
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: so he can catch him against Patrick Peterson or he

573
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: can catch him against the opposite corner as well. He

574
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: was a deep threat three receptions of over twenty five yards.

575
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: Taking those targets that were reserved for Julio Jones. So

576
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: here you go. Teams on a by the Bears, the Titans,

577
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Chargers, the Ravens, the Texans. That means

578
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of waiver wire targets. And for more let's

579
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: get it over to Molly Caam and the guys money.

580
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Go check your fan mail while

581
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: you have some time off if you're looking for a

582
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: good playoff on the waiver wire for week. We are

583
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: here to help a few more names to keep an

584
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: eye on here courtesy of our own Michael Fabiano, his

585
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: top ten waiver wire targets. We're gonna take a look

586
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: at those right now. Chris Ivory, Jock was Rogers, Percy Harvin,

587
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams, Harry Douglas, and many more. But I want

588
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: to focus right now on Percy Harvin. He was sidelined

589
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: all season on the ire with a hip injury. He

590
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: returned to practice this week, might not be back this week, FABS,

591
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: but is this the time to pick him up? Yeah,

592
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: you've got to get ahead of the curve. And I

593
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: actually said last week, pick him up last week because

594
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the hottest names on

595
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: the waiver wif you're getting a guy Molly who, if

596
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: he was healthy in the preseason, was far a top

597
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: ten wide receiver and Fantasy football. So we're getting him

598
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, and maybe he starts off slow

599
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: and you can't start him. But we're only getting into

600
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: the end of October through November we get to the

601
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: stretch run where the fantasy playoffs start. Percy Harbin has

602
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: got to be added now in the Seahawks. We know

603
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: have to activate him over the next three weeks. Jordan Read,

604
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: the tight end, has been flying under the radar in

605
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: the year of breakout tight ends. He might be as

606
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: good as anybody out well, we're starting to see this

607
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: offense for the Redskins really starting to develop. Now now

608
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: that r G three knee starting to get a little stronger,

609
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: he's sarting to feel a little bit more confident and

610
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: what does that do. We're starting to see that he

611
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: has now another formidable weapon in Jordan Read. He is

612
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 1: starting to be He's a mismatch for these linebackers and

613
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: he showed that capitalizing on nine targets bringing in nine

614
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: receptions for a hundred and thirty nine yards and a touchdown.

615
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: This guy's big time, primetime, showtime, all time, good time.

616
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah he is. I should have picked him up instead

617
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: of Joseph Fourier. All right, let's go to the Jets backfield.

618
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: We know they're committed to running the ball, and it

619
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: seems like Chris Ivory's emerging as their go to god.

620
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: We'll see he had thirty four carries. Last week was

621
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: the usual basically did nothing. So it looks like Ivory

622
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: is stepped up and Paula stepped back. But there is

623
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: sometimes some shanahanigans that goes on there in New York.

624
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: So you pick him up. I don't necessarily think you

625
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: started this week in Cincinnati, but I was definitely worth

626
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: you accidentally slipped up and called him blah blah. I'll

627
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: saw what you did. You'll say he's blahs. Say that.

628
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: I think I didn't say that. Now he's gonna tweet.

629
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Colts. Now we know

630
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne on the i R officially we reported that earlier.

631
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: So what does this do for Babe Darius Heyward Bay Well,

632
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: I think well they're gonna have to do is he's

633
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: not going to replace Reggie Wayne He is not Reggie Wayne,

634
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: but I think he has a lot of speed and

635
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: that's what Al Davis saw in him when he drafted

636
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: Darius Heyward Bay. And so it's gonna be up to

637
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: coach for Donald and Pep Hamilton to use him in

638
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot of type of gadget place to get him going.

639
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: That's the way you build receivers like like Darius Hayward

640
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: Bay sometimes could be known for stone ends, but he

641
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: came out and put up a really good performance. He

642
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: showed up, he stepped up. Look at this little gadget

643
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: play here that used to get him into the end zone.

644
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see need a lot more of this,

645
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see him running a lot of those

646
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: vertical route screens. So you get him in that motion.

647
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: I think he could be a very good player. I

648
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: say you pick him up because now Angel look has

649
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: to find somebody to throw too. And more t why

650
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: Hilton as well with that unfortunate news. Another guy who's

651
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: really stepped up. That'd be Terrence Williams. Even with Miles

652
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Austin back but limited, he's been great. Yeah, and Myles

653
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: Austin is going to be limited here for the next

654
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks so he can get healthy. Regardless, Terrence

655
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: Williams is a guy that you pick up and you

656
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: play this week against the Detroit Lions. That should be

657
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: an absolute shootout at Ford Field. Terrence Williams should be

658
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: owning more fantasy leagues than Miles Austin right now. And

659
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: the opposite is true. That needs to change TDS in

660
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: three straight games for him. Pretty good with so many

661
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: injuries to keep players this week, and got to work

662
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: the waiver wire right a lot of great deals they're thinking.

663
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I'm following my own advice. I

664
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: went up and picked up Jordan Reed. I wouldn't go

665
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: and put a claimer for him right now, so I

666
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: need enough tied end. Greg Olsen has been cutting for me. Yeah,

667
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: good advice. Maybe that's why you. Jimmy Graham's on the block.

668
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: All right, You and I got to negotiate. You want

669
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit. Coming up, we're revealing the

670
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: first of our midseason Fantasy awards. For the votes are

671
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: in see who the fans picked as their waiver wire

672
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: pickup of the year at the halfway point of the

673
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: regular season, plus Adam Rank's top ten running backs for

674
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: week contained a few surprises. See which guys might deserve

675
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: a spot in your starting lineup right after this, Welcome

676
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: back Adam Rank. Your big quarterback play of week seven

677
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: was Butler. That one obviously didn't pan out due to

678
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: the groin injury, but if Josh McCown I guess, was

679
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: a guide, it certainly looked like it would have. Let's

680
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: get to who you got on the hit list for

681
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: week eight. I guard you three this week, and if

682
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: you look at what he's done over the last couple

683
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: of weeks, I like him. Of course, you know you

684
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: have the you have the three Wiseman to start off here, Manning, Breeze, Rodgers.

685
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think about starting anybody over those guys, Romo, Stafford,

686
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: cam Newton is starting to come back. Tom Brady. I

687
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: have a little bit of it's a little bit. Uh,

688
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: let's emphasize the word little bit. I'm confident. Well, I

689
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be. I mean, well, I guess you got Gronk back.

690
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: So see what you're saying. I gotta believe you like

691
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: Griffin because they're starting to do the read option offense

692
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And this is where you're getting

693
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: all those points. Yeah, a hundred and fifty five rushing

694
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: yards over the past two games. He is back to

695
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: being the running quarterback that we all drafted him to

696
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: be and realized. I don't know if you knew this.

697
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: He's coming off a knee injury and people were everybody's

698
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: getting crazy about. Of course, it's going to take him

699
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of time to get more comfortable back there.

700
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, we saw it last year, didn't really get

701
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: comfortable to about the midway point of the season so

702
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: now and the reason and the reason why is because

703
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: with that surgery, as you go through the process, you

704
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: start getting stronger and stronger, and you're seeing that with

705
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: r G three. I like that right there, all right,

706
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, care you see it back for fantasy owners

707
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: fifteen plus in each of the last two I love

708
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: this pick at number ten because he's got to earn

709
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: his way back up. We had so much high holds

710
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: for Colin Kaepernick, but now he's starting to do exactly

711
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: what r G three. Coincidentally around the same time, making

712
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: plays with his feet. Back to back games, decent games

713
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: as I really like the matchup this week against the Jaguars,

714
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I have them so high. There's a

715
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks on a bye this week, but not

716
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot of great starting quarterbacks. If you look at it,

717
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, match shop, was he gonna start for you anyways?

718
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: But when you look at the quarterback position, it seems

719
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: like you got him Cken though against the Jags, I

720
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: know it's at Lon and you got across the pond. You'

721
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: the I think just higher than Brady. Yeah, I definitely,

722
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: even though Gronk is back. I mean, seventeen targets for Gronk,

723
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: what does that say about the rest of the offense?

724
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: And and so you're gonna still see a lot of

725
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: that from Gronk. He still needs to get back into

726
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: into game shape as far as that that type of coordination.

727
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: But I would fight for Russell Wilson, you and I

728
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: in the green room to get him, Okay, Wilson. You

729
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: know Wilson at number eleven, And that's the guy that

730
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking about. And you think about Tom Brady

731
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: to last week. It was the matchup. Tom Brady historically

732
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: doesn't play very well against the Jets, but playing against

733
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins he's usually very good against All Right, let's

734
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: get to the running backs and the ranks for a

735
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: Week eight and what we're looking at here, Jamal Charles

736
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: at the top, no argument there. He's been one of

737
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: the most consistent running backs in fantasy football. I drafted

738
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: him in the first round in our experts league, and

739
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: I have been writing them all year. And of course no,

740
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: Shan Marina was a guy that I drafted in the

741
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: middle of the late rounds and he's paid off. He's

742
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: actually been a lot better than the number two guy drafted,

743
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, So that hasn't worked out at least you

744
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: only put Stephen Jackson on every one of your fantasy teams.

745
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: Eight of nine, eight of nine, there is one. Let's

746
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: get to number eight there and the rookie Levian Bell. Yeah,

747
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: you know what. The first week he came back, we

748
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: all kind of missed out on it. We kind of

749
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: kept him off the bench because he was going up

750
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. We wanted to see what he could do.

751
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: And then he had a bye week and then we

752
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: rushed it back into the lineup. But now I'm very

753
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: confident with him go going forward. And the big reason is,

754
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: and Matt we talked about this earlier. It's opportunities. You know,

755
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: he's getting the chance with the Steelers. There's not a

756
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: lot of running backs out there who just are the

757
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: bell cow running back. And I know exactly what bell

758
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: cow means. I know where that comes from. So well,

759
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: well that and I love that and probably know a

760
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: pun intended there with this with this kid. But the

761
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: fact about the fact that he's growing up against the

762
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders also makes it likely that he's gonna succeed.

763
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get his first hunting yard game.

764
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: What about the bane of my preseason draft prediction existence

765
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson and what he's doing with this Bill's offense. Yeah,

766
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: he has been. He's the guy. He's the most consistent guy,

767
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: and there's just there comes a point where you just

768
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: can't ignore it anymore. I know a lot of times

769
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm very stubborn with guys, hence Tom Brady still being

770
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: in the top ten for me. But with Fred Jackson,

771
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: you know what the numbers say, you have to start him,

772
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: So I'm starting with you know, called the way it

773
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: is he stole the show from C. J. Spiller. I mean,

774
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: he just outproduced him, outworked him. We always we already

775
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: knew that c J. Spiller coming in was gonna be

776
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: the guy. But you know, Freddy Fredy Jackson is just

777
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: doing his thing out there. And Doug Browns says, c J.

778
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: Spiller is battling that ankle injury, so until he's completely healthy,

779
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: fred Jackson has to play. You can make the argument

780
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: they like to share choice more than they like c J.

781
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: Spiller these days. All right, let's get to the wide receivers,

782
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: the pass catchers and how it shakes out. No surprise,

783
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: the man that stays at number one ought to be

784
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: number one every single week unless he has a vibe.

785
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: But let's get let's be beyond that. The top three

786
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: should probably stay the same each and every week. Jordy Nelson,

787
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: I like this week going up against the Minnesota Vikings.

788
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: Hasn't played very well against them historically, but feel like

789
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: this is the week that he's gonna come and break out.

790
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz was a little bit disappointing on Monday Night,

791
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: but again love the matchup there, Deshan Jackson, love the matchup,

792
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: great history against the New York and again Josh McCown

793
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: the Redskins secondary and the Redskins secondary is headed to

794
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Sports Authority field at Mile High and this is the

795
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: guy of the trio that you like. I really like

796
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: him because, as you see right there, he leads the

797
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: team and targets. And it seemed like everybody got a

798
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: little bit too concerned when he was left out of

799
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: the touchdown frenzy in Week one. But since that time

800
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: he has been their most consistent guy. It seems like

801
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: he scores a touchdown each and every week. And I

802
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: know when I was in our experts league, Eric Decker

803
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: was going on that Sunday night game, I knew I

804
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: could count on him for ten points. You know, I

805
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: don't agree that you have Eric Decker as the number

806
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: one Broncos wide enough. No, I go Westwalker, then Demarius Thomas,

807
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: then Eric Decker. That's how I see it, and I

808
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: know right now during this stretch, but they're gonna start

809
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: to see Eric Decker now starting to make all these places.

810
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to pay attention to Eric Decker.

811
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna have to. They're gonna have to

812
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: trust that somebody can cover cover him in single coverage

813
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: because you can past three games, we haven't seen that

814
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: you cannot put single coverage on Dmarrius Thomas or he

815
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: apparently say do single coverage against Eric Differing may jump

816
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: in and flex my football. The one thing I'd be

817
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: concerned about what the Broncos moving forward is less eleven personnel.

818
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to start playing more two tight end

819
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: sets because you saw how they were teeing off on Peyton.

820
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: As much as they want to spread that ball out

821
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: and start chucking it to what they're gonna, they're gonna,

822
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be better with your past protection

823
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: because Peyton man can't afford to get hit like that.

824
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: But one thing I know about Peyton Manning is he

825
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: will play what the defense has given him. And there's

826
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a defense. They're saying, you know what we're

827
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: concerned about, decker Dt gets to get the big play there.

828
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: All right, Well do I'll agree to disagree. I guess

829
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: maybe you guys can formulate a trade that you won't execute.

830

841
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: he said, said touchdout. But we are halfway through the

842
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: fantasy regular season. No, not halfway through the regular season,

843
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,400

846
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: slash NFL Network. So let's take a look, guys at

847
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: our first two awards, starting with the mid Season Waiver

848
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: Wire Award. The nominees Philip Rivers look at that third

849
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: most points in the NFL a D and thirty seven

850
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: point five eight, Julius Thomas second amongst tight ends there

851
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: with his NINT plus halfway through, and yeah, the Chiefs

852
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: defense running away with the award. But let's get started

853
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: on Julius Thomas and why he is one of our nominees.

854
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: And it's got to be because he has not let

855
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: you down in a single week. He's been unbelievably good

856
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: a season and he wasn't even on the radar in

857
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: most fantasy football drafts. It's unbelievable of me that this

858
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: kid is doing what he's doing considering how many miles

859
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: there are to feed in that Denver pass attack, and

860
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: it's coming at a position where you don't get a

861
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: lot of production from a lot of guys week to week.

862
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: It seems like some fantasy owners have to just struggle

863
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: to find a tight end. But this guy has been

864
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: rock solid, and give credit to Peyton Man who who's

865
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: been able to find him when those mismatches are their

866
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: own and the key there. You saw it six or

867
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: seven weeks a touchdown. When you get a touchdown from

868
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: your tight end, it's already made your week and you're

869
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: likely going to get a jump on your opponent. However,

870
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: the winner is not Julius Thomas, but what well, there's

871
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, there's Julius Thomas and chief that's just do

872
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: you want a couple of stats. The Chiefs defense right

873
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: now would be eighth at quarterback based on fantasy points,

874
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: second at running back, and twenty points ahead of the

875
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: best receiver. I mean that's unreal production. Think about that.

876
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: Think about that. You've got the set the best running

877
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: back in your defensive spot, You've got the best wide

878
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: receiver in your defensive spot. And how do we get

879
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: to this point when you look at this defense so

880
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: tenacious when those guys are coming off the edge. Of

881
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: course Tom Bahami leaved Ontario Pole in the middle bringing

882
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. But they they've got a safety,

883
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: a ball hawking and yet a physical safety. And Eric

884
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: Barry can get up there play the one and also

885
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: go out there and survey the field. He's got a

886
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of you know, sideline to sideline mobility. I love

887
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: this defense. This defense gonna continue to produce pressure at

888
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: all three levels. That's the key. And it does help

889
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: that they play in the a f C West and

890
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: get the Raiders twice. Yes, here we go the mid

891
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: season Fantasy Awards. The best rookie nominees are Keenan Allen

892
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: come on strong. Has been coming on strong in these

893
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: past few weeks. To see the fifty one plus Fantasy

894
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: points this season. Geo Bernard twelve among running backs for

895
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: in the twelve team league. There you go, he is

896
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: an RB one and Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers.

897
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: But let's get started with Geo Bernard and what I

898
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: believe is going to be more touches more production in

899
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: the weeks to come for a team that looks like

900
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: the class of the a f C. North Well, I'll

901
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: tell you why. This offense hasn't had this type of

902
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: running back in a long time. And he's different. He's

903
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: a different breed. He's a Darren Sprow slash Reggie Bush

904
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: put into one. You put him out in the space

905
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: and Marvin right now learning how to use Giovanni and

906
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: each week you see him becoming more and more part

907
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: of this offense, and he's making the most of his opportunities.

908
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: I really like the way they've been using him. Him

909
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: coupled with the law firm, it's been a great marriage there.

910
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the nominees and see who

911
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: comes out ahead. Here you go, Gio Bernard, keenan Allen,

912
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: which means fifty six percent. Eddie Lacey. We can now

913
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: confirm the projections are true. Edie has one. That's the

914
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? Because Gio Bernard

915
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: has been the best rookie and fantasy up to this

916
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: point in this season. But I can tell you something

917
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,480
