1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, November sixth, twenty twenty three. 2 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, 3 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grant joined by Michael f Florio. Coming up 4 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: on the show today, we got our biggest takeaways from 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: week nine, plus we're breaking down all the top performances 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: and biggest disappointments from the weekend. So it seems like 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: we were here this last week and we said the 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: same thing and I'm gonna say it again. Injuries suck man, 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: and they are really changing the landscape of both the 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: NFL and fantasy right now. 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for all the whole like running quarterbacks are 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: the ones that get hurt, a whole bunch of pocket 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: passers are just getting taken out weekly. It has taken 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: what has been you know, Look, I still love fantasy. 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: It's a fun game, but it definitely makes it a 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: lot less fun when all the players that we want 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: to see out there are just not out there. 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking and it seems like every quarterback that has 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: had a season ending injury I have had on a 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: roster somewhere. I have one ride of one roster that 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: has lost Aaron Rodgers, Anthony Richardson, and Kirk Cousins all 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: in the same year. I'm sorry, yeah, it's pretty although 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: weirdly that team is six and two with a chance 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: to go seven to two, so go figure. I have 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: no idea how it's happening, but it's sort of sort 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: of working out. We do have our big takeaways of 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: course from week nine, our top performers, and our waiver 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: wire targets, which are going to be very important because 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: as we get into the fantasy headlines, as we do 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: this time every day on the show, a lot of 31 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: interesting and important injuries have happened. The big one coming 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: out of New York. Daniel Jones has torn his acl 33 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: He is going to miss the remainder of the twenty 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: twenty three season. You combine that with Tyrod Taylor, who's 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: on injured reserve, and Tommy DeVito is the man of 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: the hour for the Giants at quarterbacks. So look, we're 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: not starting Tommy de viv We're not going to pretend that, 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna try to pretzel myself and 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: make you think this is a viable start for you. 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: The question is, though, are we done with the Giants 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: pass catchers. And what does this mean for Saquon. Yeah, 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: we're done with the Giants pass catchers. Like coming into 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: the year, it was Darren Waller or Bust. 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: I thought Jalen hyd had some upside, but that's gone 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 2: now with Tommy DeVito as quarterback and even Darren Waller, Like, 46 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: we have three more weeks where we know he is 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: not playing. You can go and throw him on your 48 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: IR spot. If you don't have an IR spot, you 49 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 2: can seriously consider cutting him this week, I said last 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: week on the show, I think is now is the 51 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: time to sell Saquon. The schedule gets a little bit tougher, 52 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 2: like get a good game, but it was against the Raiders, 53 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: not the usual Saquon kind of game. And how many 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: scoring opportunities is he going to get with Davido? How 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: many loaded boxes is he going to see with Divito? 56 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: I'm very, very concerned about Saquon the rest of the way. Yeah, Saqua, 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: I's gonna see like nine men in the box every 58 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: time he finds up there he goes. 59 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: There's zero belief that Tommy the Vito is going to 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: beat you with his arm. The Giants are in a 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: bad way offensively. I suspect they may go out and 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: try and sign a free agent quarterback. Look, man, Josh 63 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Dobbs is off the market. We saw what he did yesterday, 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: so good luck with that. But Carson Wentz Cars Marson. 65 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: Wentz, you can finish his well, he's still got Dallas, 66 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: but he's trying to make that trip around the NFL. 67 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: They know the whole NFC East loop. If he can, yeah, 68 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: it's it's bad news for the Giants and we are 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: pretty much done. Jalen Hyatt, one, Dale Robinson, all of them. 70 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: I think you can pretty much let go him at 71 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: this point now. Staying in the NFC East, Dallas Goddard 72 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: fractured his forearm in the win over the Cowboys on Sunday. 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: He's expected to have surgery. We'll miss approximately four weeks. 74 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: Look I learned this morning when I went and looked 75 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: at Alberto Kuie Boonham is actually on the Eagles roster. 76 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: I somehow missed that. There's nobody that's just going to 77 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: get for the Tide in position to fill in there. 78 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: So closer to us in Los Angeles, the Chargers, who 79 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: do play on Monday Night Football, they have placed wide 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: receiver Josh Palmer on injured reserve, So Mike Williams has 81 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: gone for the year, Josh Palmer is on injured reserve. 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Is this finally it for Quinton Johnston to do things? 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: I hope? 84 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 2: So I really like I have Quinton Johnson on a 85 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: number of rosters and I only played him in one 86 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: place this week because I was pretty desperate. But that's 87 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: just because of the Jets. Like they allow sixteen Fantasy 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: points per game note to wide receivers. Every other team 89 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: is twenty one or better, so they are by far 90 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: the hardest matchup. They also have two elite corners that 91 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: play out wide and that's where Quintin Johnson primarily lines up. 92 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: But after the Jets, I'm in on Quinton Johnson because 93 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: who else is gonna catch the ball there? Like the 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: top targets are gonna be Austin Eckler and Keenan Allen, 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: but they need their first round rookie to step up. 96 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: He's coming off of his best game of the year 97 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: where they finally were like, hey, we're gonna throw you 98 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: some short passes unless you run after the catch, and 99 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: not expect you to be Mike Williams two point zero, 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: which I think he was miscasted as but yeah, check 101 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: your waiver wire right now before that game starts, even 102 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: because if he's out there, you could grab him. 103 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: Which is really funny because a couple of weeks ago, 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: I think we were all like, well, it's probably time 105 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: to move on from Quinton Johnson. He's not getting any targets. 106 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: Josh Palmer's the guy, blah blah blah. Now Josh Palmer 107 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: goes down, and suddenly it's like, all right, well, maybe 108 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Quintin Johnson, this is your opportunity to go out and 109 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: make some plays. I know there were questions about his 110 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: hands and whether or not he can consistently catch the football. 111 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: He's going to get that opportunity to find out really 112 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: really soon. All right, in Minnesota, while they were riding 113 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: the high of Josh Dobbs coming in literally coming off 114 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: the street and not even having a practice with the 115 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: team and coming in and winning the I don't know 116 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: if you saw the video of him working out the 117 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: cadence with the offensive lineman like on the sideline. No, 118 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: he said, I didn't know any of these guys' names. 119 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: I didn't know the cadences. I didn't know anything. And 120 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: so like during a period where the defenses on the field, 121 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: you see Josh Dobbs lined up with the center and 122 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: a couple of the offensive linemen and they are telling 123 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: him what the snap cadence is because he hasn't been 124 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: there long enough to want it, and somehow he came 125 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: from behind and to beat the Atlanta Falcons there. 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: I love the idea of him like completing a pass 127 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 2: and then being like, oh, by the way, I'm Josh. 128 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: Hey, Josh, nice to meet you. So that was the 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: high there for Minnesota. But the low comes in the 130 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: backfield where cam Acres suffered an injury. In fact, as 131 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: we were sitting here and recording this show, it was 132 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: confirmed that it is a torn Achilles for cam Acres. 133 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: So another one. I mean, he had one a couple 134 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: of years ago, tried to come back at the end 135 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: of the season, didn't really look great. Seemed like maybe 136 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: he was starting to find a role there in Minnesota. 137 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: But now his season is over and you do have 138 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: to sort of worry what that means long term for 139 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: his overall career. But in the short term for the 140 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: rest of this season. Does this mean we can go 141 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: back to trusting Alexander Madison. 142 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: As like a safe floor RB two. Sure someone who 143 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: I f You're like, I want ten to twelve fantasy points. 144 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: I just don't think the upside is all that much 145 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 2: higher than that. Like the Vikings have two rushing touchdowns 146 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: this season. There are Cam Akers and Josh Dopps, like 147 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: two players who weren't on this team coming into the season. Madison, 148 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: I know, had the receiving touchdown yesterday, his second one 149 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: of the year. You're his only chance I think of 150 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: ever cracking fifteen is what they touched down, and they're 151 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: going to be few and far between. I've never been 152 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: the biggest Alexander Madison fan, but if you have him. 153 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Sure he's a reliable RB two moving forward out. I 154 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: mean I think that's sort of it. I mean, we 155 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: saw at the beginning of the year how inefficient he was, 156 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the Vikings struggling to run the football. The upside now 157 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: is that volume comes back his way. It was something 158 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: that was starting to go away with Acres passing him 159 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: on the depth chart, but now he gets a ton 160 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: of volume. Whether or not he's going to be more 161 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: efficient and effective, I'm skeptical considering the way the season started, 162 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: but as you mentioned, I think RB two probably on 163 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: the lower end of that scale is probably where he 164 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: slots in the rest of the year. Time now to 165 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: look back upon Sunday and talk about the things that 166 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: we learned from watching the NFL this week, and one 167 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: thing you learned is that, man, there's a lot to 168 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: be excited about in Houston. Yeah. 169 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: With the Texans passing game, I understand that there's going 170 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: to be volatility the rookie quarterback. All of your top 171 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: wide receivers are very very young. 172 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: It's just a young team. 173 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: But the highs are worth the volatility here. 174 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Like c J. Stroud yesterday threw for four hundred and 175 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: seventy yards. 176 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: No rookie quarterback had ever thrown for four forty No 177 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback had ever thrown for four hundred yards and 178 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: four touchdowns in a game. He threw for four seventy 179 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: and five first time ever that three different players had 180 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: over one hundred receiving yards. So I understand maybe you 181 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: don't want to play tang Dell each and every week, 182 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: but he is definitely in play in the right matchups. 183 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: So is Noah Brown. 184 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: I think Nico Collins were at the point where you 185 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 2: just start him every week. You start Dalon Schultz every week, 186 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: and I'm even getting to the point where I think, like, yeah, 187 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud, you just start him. The floor might 188 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: be like fourteen to fifteen fantasy points, but the upside 189 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: he is the only quarterback this year with a forty 190 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: point game, Like, the upside is so high cracked twenty 191 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: four different times this year. I think you just deal 192 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: with the low weeks and you ride with your Texans. 193 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: For me, the Vikings offense might still be usable in fantasy. 194 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: And that's different than where we were this time a 195 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: week ago. This time last week, Kirk Cousins was out 196 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 2: for the season with a torn achilles. 197 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: We didn't know what was going to happen. I mean, 198 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: we knew Jaren Hall was likely going to get the 199 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: start in the short term. We didn't know what this 200 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: meant for TJ. Hawkinson, for Jordan Addison, for all those 201 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: guys around him. And look, based on what we saw 202 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: for about three quarters yesterday, there's still hope. Now. Granted, 203 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: the ceiling is going to be lower with Josh Dobbs, 204 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: but we saw what Dobbs was able to do with 205 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: Marquise Brown, and you know, Zach Ertz and Trey McBride 206 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: in Arizona. I think you can have confidence that he 207 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: can get the ball to his playmakers. So yes, you're 208 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: not going to have as high as ceiling for Addison 209 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: and Hawkinson as you did when Kirk Cousins was there, 210 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: but you don't have to worry that. You know they're 211 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: going to be completely useless for you either, So there 212 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: is some hope. We didn't have that a week ago. 213 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: Thank you, Josh Dobbs. You know all it took was 214 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: you being a rocket scientist to make this happen. But 215 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: we certainly appreciate it, and it's good to know that 216 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: our vikings are not completely off the table for the 217 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: rest of the year. Another team that wears purple and 218 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: has been doing big things, But you think it's time 219 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: maybe to maybe move on from a guy. 220 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: I think right now is the optimal time to sell 221 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: high on Gus Edwards in fantasy football. I understand he's 222 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: given you at least seventeen fantasy points in three straight games. 223 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: He has six rushing touchdowns in those span, five in 224 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: his last two games combined. He has one game this 225 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: year with over seventy rushing yards, and he is not 226 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: top seven fantasy points in a game without a touchdown. 227 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: But what where is me? 228 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: Even more is he played just nineteen percent of the 229 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: snaps this past week and was third on the Ravens 230 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: in carries. Keaton Mitchell seems like he is becoming something 231 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: that is going to remain involved. They never fully get 232 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: away from Justice Hills. So as good as Gus Edwards 233 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: has been lately, I think that's why you sell high 234 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: now because I don't think he's gonna Maybe he could 235 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 2: be this year Jamal Williams and just score touchdowns at 236 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: an insane rate, and their offense is good enough where 237 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: maybe he can be that. I would play it safer 238 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: and try to get someone that's a little bit more 239 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: reliable and not part of a. 240 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: Three back committee. Yeah. See, that's the thing is that 241 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: they talked about trying to get Mitchell more involved in 242 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Obviously it happened in a 243 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: big way on Sunday. But you look at it, Mitchell 244 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: has one hundred and thirty eight rushing yards. Gous Edwards 245 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: has two rushing touchdowns. Justice He'll play like sixty four 246 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, so there's nothing resembling clarity in 247 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: his backfield. So it's going to be really, really hard. 248 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, I mean Edwards is playing well, 249 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: has the high touchdown upside. You could definitely get something 250 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: back in return for him now, especially, you know, before 251 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: this thing gets even more muddled and complicated than it 252 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: has been for me. Keep the faith with Tony Pollard. 253 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: I get it. It has not been great. He has 254 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: not scored a touchdown since Week one. He had two 255 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the season opener, has not scored that touchdown 256 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: since then. He's had fewer than sixty five scrimmage yards 257 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: in four of the last five games. He's had single 258 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: digit fantasy points in four of the last five games. 259 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: But there are signs that are positive. He's still dominating 260 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: the backfield snaps. He's still getting a decent target share, 261 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: about four and a half five targets per game for 262 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, So the chance to catch the football is 263 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: there the next few weeks. Things get a little bit 264 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: better over the next couple of weeks. They've got the Giants, 265 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: they've got the Panthers, so there're gonna be some good 266 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: matchups coming up for Tony Pollard. I think at this point, 267 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: what you spent on him in draft capital. It's hard 268 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: to imagine you're gonna get that return on investment. I mean, 269 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: we were talking about him as a high second round, 270 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: maybe even a late first round pick. I don't think 271 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: that's going to You're not gonna get that sort of 272 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: production from him this year. But I do think it 273 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: can be better than what we have seen so far. 274 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: So I understand it's frustrating and understand it's hard to 275 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: get away from Pollard. You know, if you're still in it, 276 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: keep the faith. I think Tony Paul is gonna come 277 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: around for you very very soon. All Right, we're gonna 278 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We're gonna come back talk about 279 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: some top performers and some disappointments. I'm sure Tony Pollard 280 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: was a disappointment for some of you. That and more 281 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: coming up here on the NFL Fantasy Football show Such 282 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Your Alarm.

Of course, the Monday night game still to 289 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: be played, but CJ. Stroud talked about that earlier. Had 290 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: himself a day four hundred and seventy passing yards, five touchdowns, 291 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: forty one point eight fantasy points. Rashad White, who very 292 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: quietly has been moving up the ranks with his production, 293 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: nearly twenty eight fantasy points for him. He had a 294 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: pair of rushing touchdowns, also four catches for forty six yards. 295 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: Tank Dell the big recipient there from CJ. Stroud, or 296 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: one of them, I should say, six catches, one hundred 297 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: and fourteen yards, two touchdowns, nearly thirty fantasy points. Dalton 298 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Schultz the other big recipient. Ten catches on eleven targets, 299 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown. He had 300 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven points, would have been bigger had he not 301 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: lost a fumble. Young waykup four field goals and a 302 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: couple of pat's that was good for eighteen and the 303 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: Colts defense huge day four sacks, three picks, two pick 304 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: six's against Bryce Young he have a thirteen points that 305 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: was good for twenty six fantasy points. So let's talk 306 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: about some of the guys that were either on the 307 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: list or just off the list. No surprise Jonathan Taylor 308 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: against a bad Colts run defense that pretty much went 309 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: the way we thought it would. 310 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jonathan Taylor. And to me what stood out was 311 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: the usage that he saw seventy five percent of the snaps, 312 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: eighteen carries to Zach Moss's seven. He ran twenty routes, 313 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: had five targets. Zach Moss did not see a target 314 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: in the backfield. There, So sixty nine holder yards and 315 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: a touchdown for Jonathan Taylor. And I know some people, 316 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: I mean, seventeen point nine fantasy points is a very 317 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: strong day. Some people are still like, we haven't seen 318 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: vintage Jonathan Taylor just yet. That is coming. And I 319 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: think the fact that we've seen him fully start to 320 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: take over snaps the last couple of weeks and now 321 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: the touches as well heavily going his way, they are 322 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: slowly but surely starting to get Jonathan Taylor back to 323 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: the workload that we are accustomed to seeing with Jonathan Taylor. 324 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: He is back to being a must start running back. 325 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: Zach Moss, on the other hand, I don't know if 326 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: we could keep starting him after this performance. 327 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's weird because I really thought 328 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Zach Moss is gonna have a good day. I thought 329 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: both guys would happen a really good day. Maybe the 330 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: tide is turning in favor of Jonathan Taylor. I don't know. 331 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: Shane Stiken seemed to suggest that both guys are still 332 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: gonna get work. So I'm not ready to completely tap 333 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: out on Zach Moss, but the alert the antenna are 334 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: up after what we saw this past Sunday. Meanwhile, we're 335 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Sean White. I mentioned he is very quietly just moving 336 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: on up because they're getting him much more involved in 337 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: the passing game. The four catches for forty six yard, 338 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: it's a big plus there, and that's sort of how 339 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: it's gone because the Bucks have struggled to run the 340 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: football consistently, so they're using the short passing game as 341 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: an extension of that run game. But then on Sunday 342 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: they were also able to run the football twenty carries 343 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: for seventy three yards. I know the yards per carry 344 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: average is not all that great there, but the opportunity 345 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: I was huge for Rashad White there gave you almost 346 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: twenty eight Fantasy points. And this was the guy that 347 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: I remember a couple of weeks ago was asked what 348 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: I want, Rashad White or James Cook, and my first 349 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: instinct was, well, of course James Cook. And then I 350 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: started to dive into it. I was like, oh, this 351 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: is a lot closer than I anticipated. And I think 352 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: with what we saw from White the last couple of 353 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: weeks versus what we're seeing from James Cook, I think 354 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: I kind of went with shot White at this point. 355 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: I was very much so on James Cook and was 356 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: off Rashad White early on in the year. But yeah, 357 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: I think the two have certainly flipped, and there's no 358 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: way I think right now you could take Cook over White. 359 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: No, I mean, just the way their respective teams are 360 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: using them, it's hard to take Cook over White. Meanwhile, 361 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: Johan Dotson, as our friend Adam Rank calls him, he's 362 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: come to life lately. Yeah. 363 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: He has eight or more targets in three straight games, 364 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 2: he has a touchdown in two straight and has topped 365 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: sixteen Fantasy points in each of his last two games. 366 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: So someone that I thought coming into the year was 367 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: a potential breakout candidate, really slow start probably was dropped 368 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: if you were the one that drafted him, still available 369 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: in just under half of NFL dot com leagues. I 370 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: don't love his matchup next week against the Seahawks. I 371 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: think you could either bench him or pick him up, 372 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: leave him on the bench, whatever you want to do there. 373 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: But he is someone I want on my roster right now. 374 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 2: Moving forward. I think the upside is very high. And 375 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: with the Commander's defense being what it is, they are 376 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: always going to have to throw the ball they are. 377 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: I have Johan Dotson on a roster where I haven't 378 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: really found a way to put him in the lineup, 379 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: and I know that I'm going to put him in 380 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: the lineup this week and he's going to go back 381 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: to having like the thirty yards or whatever it is. 382 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: But they're using him and that's kind of what's important there. 383 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs, who had himself a day, I mean just 384 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, was forced into action after the 385 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: injury to Jaron Hall. He suffered a concussion as in 386 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: the protocol. Then on top of it, Cam Akers, who 387 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: was the emergency quarterback, goes down with a season ending 388 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: achilles injury, so it was up to Dobbs to finish 389 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: the game one hundred and fifty eight passing yards, two 390 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, also a rushing touchdown, did have a couple 391 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: of fumbles lost, but overall he had a very good 392 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: day against a pretty good Falcons defense. But as I 393 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show, what I really appreciate was 394 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: the fact that he got the ball out to his playmakers. 395 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: I mean, he barely knew any of their names, but 396 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: he knew how to get the ball to TJ. Hawkinson, 397 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: to Jordan Addison, got Alexander Madison involved in the passing 398 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: game as well, and that, really, more than anything, is 399 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: sort of what we want from the Vikings quarterback at 400 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: this point. I don't think we're believing that Josh Dobbs 401 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: is going to be a weekly start, but as long 402 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: as he can keep all those other guys involved, that 403 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: is maybe the most important part. Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, 404 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: after Josh mcgannins was fired, the thing that came to 405 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: mind was the song Yub Nub from the end of 406 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi, after the Death Star blows up 407 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: and all the Ewoks are celebrating, like, that's kind of 408 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: what I imagine the Raiders' locker room was like, I mean, 409 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: after the game, you saw Max Crosby smoking cigars, but 410 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: on the field, Josh Jacobs finally had a huge game. 411 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raiders look like a team that has just 412 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: been freed something that has clearly been holding them back. 413 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: I mean, look, us, as Josh Jacob fantasy managers, we've 414 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 2: been in need and all we needed was AOC to 415 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: come out here and help a little of us less 416 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 2: fortunate people out in AOC's two best games this year. 417 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: Two games this year, I mean, Josh Jacobs has had 418 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: his two best fantasy outputs of the year. Twenty six 419 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: carries yesterday, ninety eight yards, two touchdowns. And I know 420 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: gamescript was on their side, and the schedule gets harder 421 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: moving forward, but Josh Jacobs is getting so much volume 422 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: now and he is a quarterback that will throw him 423 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: the ball. 424 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: We know that. 425 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: We saw that in O'Connell's first start. So I I think, 426 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 2: look the schedule and stuff. 427 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: I get it. 428 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: Maybe you're not gonna be able to get a hole 429 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: like you're not trading Josh Jacobs, I would say right now. 430 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: But if you drafted him, this is probably the best 431 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: you could feel about. 432 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: Him all year. Yeah, it really is. So Josh Jacobs 433 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: got a whole lot of work and he had a 434 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: big game. We're still waiting for it to turn. For 435 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: Devonte Adams, he went a while before he finally got 436 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: a target, didn't really have a great game. So we'll 437 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: see if maybe that starts to change in the very 438 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: near future. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones had one of his best 439 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: games of the season. And this is a guy that 440 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy managers have been struggling with, understandably 441 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: because it just hadn't really come together. It didn't help 442 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 1: that Jordan Love hadn't been playing well, but Jones had 443 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: been incredibly inefficient. Wasn't getting a lot of work in 444 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: the passing game. You wondered whether or not aj Dillon 445 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: was going to pass him up on the depth chart. 446 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: It just had been bad. But finally the seventy three 447 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: rushing yards and a touchdown four catches for twenty six 448 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: yards against the Rams. Look, it was not a great 449 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: game from either side offensively. It was kind of hard 450 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: to watch in a lot of respects. But Aaron Jones 451 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: finally coming through maybe gives you a little bit of faith. 452 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: He's not gonna you know, he's not gonna suddenly turn 453 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: back into the Aaron Jones from the last couple of years. 454 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: But maybe he's gonna be better than he has been. 455 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: So that's that's the positive from that one on Aaron Jones. 456 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: Those are the guys we liked. How about the disappointments 457 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: for the week? Who really broke your heart in Week nine? 458 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: The entire the entire Seattle Seahawks offense. I mean, Geno 459 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: Smith goes out. I know it's a hard matchup against 460 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: the Ravens. One hundred and fifty seven yards, no touchdowns, 461 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: one interception. Kenneth Walker and Zach Sharbonay combine for twenty 462 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: four rushing yards. Tyler Lockett gave you single digits. DK 463 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: Metcalf had one catch. Yeah it was a fifty yarder, 464 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: but he had one catch. Jaysen was the loan positive 465 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 2: thing for the Seattle Seahawks. Kudos to the five percent 466 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: of you that started him or whatever the number is 467 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: this week. This offense is simply just not what it 468 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: used to be, and I did not think that the 469 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: change of offensive coordinator would lead to it being as 470 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: bad as it has been because they still have so 471 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: much talent and all of these skill positions like. I 472 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: don't want to say Gino Smith is cooked or anything 473 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 2: like that, but he is clearly not the same guy 474 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: that he was last year. That being said, they get 475 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders next week. I'm giving Geno Lockett and 476 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: DK Metcalf another shot next week, but if they disappoint 477 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: in that one, we need to have a very serious 478 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: conversation about what to do with this offense movie. 479 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's been really bad for Gino Smith 480 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: so far this season. But I do think this is 481 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: a week potentially for them to kind of turn things around. 482 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get going, but it's been very, 483 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: very frustrating for those guys this year. Meanwhile, DeVante Adams 484 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: I mentioned it, I really didn't get a lot of targets. 485 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: I thought for sure he was gonna get the ball 486 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: a lot. My bold prediction this week was that he 487 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: was going to get at least fifteen, maybe even twenty targets. 488 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: It was quite the opposite of that. He just had 489 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: the seven targets, four catches for thirty four yards. It 490 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't work out. Yeah, I don't really know what to 491 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: say about it other than he's DeVante Adams, so it's 492 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: hard to make a real case to put him on 493 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: the bench, and you just hope that Aidan O'Connell figures 494 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: out how to get him the football that'll do it. 495 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: For this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show, be 496 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: sure to listen tomorrow for our pal matt Ocatta's top 497 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: waiver wire targets.
