Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever, m Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Don do Yeah, this is the Fantasy best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside
Speaker 1: Frankie Stamvill, I am Grass. What's going on? Bunday? Ray?
Speaker 1: What is up? My man? Giants Falcons? Last night? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a big It was a big day yesterday
Speaker 1: overall between going on that door cover, last second, crazy,
Speaker 1: a Fantasy matchup, all the way down on the wire too.
Speaker 1: It was great. So I so remember going to last night,
Speaker 1: I told you I don't know if it's on the air,
Speaker 1: off the air um that I had. I was up
Speaker 1: five with se Kwan and Calvin Ridley versus Matt Ryan Okay,
Speaker 1: so I literally had said I was down after Squan
Speaker 1: caught a pass and lost seven yards on it. I
Speaker 1: was down point three at that point, so I kept saying,
Speaker 1: all I want is a Falcon's rushing touchdown. So it
Speaker 1: would just be dump off the c Kwon, dump off
Speaker 1: the se Kwan, dumb off the Kwan, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what I got. And then the next play after that
Speaker 1: was a fifty yard dump off the c Kuan and
Speaker 1: we never looked back. Okay, you could always depend on
Speaker 1: a ton of dump off passes to say Kwon Barkley
Speaker 1: that you know what, congrats buddy, What does that make
Speaker 1: your record? That my record will be? This week? Said
Speaker 1: we're five and two and two. Yeah, I just had
Speaker 1: a bunch of really bad teams. No, I only have
Speaker 1: one really event I just talked about that on the
Speaker 1: most I only have one really bad team. Actually have
Speaker 1: a pretty good year. Um Gs two were three and four,
Speaker 1: climbing back into it, slowly climbing before going the right way.
Speaker 1: We're we're in the playoffs right now, came out of
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We're right there. We're like tied for the
Speaker 1: last playoffs. We're the we're in the mix. We're in
Speaker 1: the mix, uh Cartins League. I'm I'm around three and
Speaker 1: four or four and three something like that. UM five
Speaker 1: and two in my homely league one one where of that?
Speaker 1: And then UM flex, I think I'm the five and
Speaker 1: two and flex right, pretty sure? Yeah? I think I
Speaker 1: think I'm five inutes. What the heck you are? I
Speaker 1: think I'm five and two in both flex and five
Speaker 1: and two in flexes and the fish bowl. So I'm
Speaker 1: not having a bad here, oh Greggy, Yeah, stepping it up? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: because you have Robert Woods everywhere. Well, what do you
Speaker 1: think about last night's game? Outside of obviously you are
Speaker 1: you winning there? Look, you needed a lot of late
Speaker 1: production from s Kwon Barkley for most of that game.
Speaker 1: I think you were worried about what you're getting at
Speaker 1: it was. It was a little frustrating the Giants offense,
Speaker 1: you know, at least for their skill position players and
Speaker 1: for fantasy purposes. Bounced back. I mean Odell Beckham and
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd both cleared a hundred and forty yards each. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Beckham had that touchdown late on a on a great catch,
Speaker 1: should have had the two point conversion as well. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to get into the whole
Speaker 1: two point conversion talk. We were just talking about it downstairs.
Speaker 1: Everyone's freaking out. Why did they go for to Like
Speaker 1: there are analytics that show that when you're down fourteen,
Speaker 1: you score a touchdown. Going for two is the smarter play.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to get into that
Speaker 1: or not. So I don't want to get into it
Speaker 1: because I agree and I gotta I gotta fight my
Speaker 1: friends last night about this because they're say how stupid
Speaker 1: giants are for that, blah blah blah, and they weren't
Speaker 1: and in the Eagles of the that for weeks now
Speaker 1: and it's Super Bowl winning Eagles, Like Doug Peterson is
Speaker 1: a smart head coach. So I sent an article that
Speaker 1: that was written last year about why the brown should
Speaker 1: have done this Actually last year it's pointed out the
Speaker 1: same if they've been doing it this year, like Hugh
Speaker 1: Jackson has been trying to do this this year. So
Speaker 1: I've wrote I said out the article, um, speaking of
Speaker 1: that those analytics and Hugh Jackson's on the cover, my
Speaker 1: friends on Hugh Jackson will cover up. I'm not agreeing
Speaker 1: with anything like it literally says that he's an idiot.
Speaker 1: Just read the read the article. Uh so they're all
Speaker 1: screaming at me how I can think, how I can
Speaker 1: be so dumber? Just like I'm just telling you what
Speaker 1: the analytics saying. Man, like this wire's football baseball now,
Speaker 1: like because data matters, like it doesn't matter what support
Speaker 1: it is or what uh really what entathy it is.
Speaker 1: In politics, it's the same way. We're all using data
Speaker 1: and why wouldn't you use all the tools that you
Speaker 1: have and the data says that you should go for
Speaker 1: two because basically, in Lehman's terms, I'll just do it
Speaker 1: very quickly because I don't don't want to dive into it.
Speaker 1: But Lehman's terms, going for two from the two yard
Speaker 1: line is a proposition. Technically it's only forty seven point
Speaker 1: eight percent, but essentially it's fifty fifty, which means you're
Speaker 1: going to make it one out of two times. So
Speaker 1: if you go for two when you are down fourteen
Speaker 1: on the first um on the first time and you
Speaker 1: miss it, the odd state that you will make it
Speaker 1: the second time when you need it. So if your
Speaker 1: defense holds, you're down eight, you missed the first, you'll
Speaker 1: make the second you'll tie the game, you go to overtime. Fine,
Speaker 1: if you make the first one, all you need is
Speaker 1: an extra point and you win the game. The goal
Speaker 1: of the game is the goal of every game is
Speaker 1: to win, as Herman Edwards once told us, so by
Speaker 1: doing that, it puts you in a better position to
Speaker 1: win over time is essentially a fifty fifty toss as well.
Speaker 1: You want to avoid that. I believe by going for two,
Speaker 1: if you make it, you have like a sixty chance
Speaker 1: of winning or something along those lines. Like it was
Speaker 1: a no brainer, not no brainer decision, but when you
Speaker 1: look at the analytics, it makes plenty of sense. Going
Speaker 1: for two wasn't the problem of Pat Shermer last night.
Speaker 1: The problem with Pat Shermer was two fold. Number one,
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks sneaks the game on the line with the
Speaker 1: there's no game on a lot. But I don't think
Speaker 1: that's Pat Sremer's fault, though I think it's I think
Speaker 1: it's I think that's ELI, because they were even talking
Speaker 1: about that last night during the game, Like, I think
Speaker 1: they got that wrong. Well, Booger and test Tour, I
Speaker 1: think they all got that right. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think Eli's calling himself a quarterback sneak. He's never
Speaker 1: done that in his life. This is the first This
Speaker 1: year is the first time he's been sneaking. I mean,
Speaker 1: once you get that first down, the first thing you
Speaker 1: should do is just spike it. Yes, spike it, just
Speaker 1: you know, stop the clock. Um, So I think that.
Speaker 1: So that's my number one. Number two. Because people are
Speaker 1: focused on the quarterback sneak, and people are focused on
Speaker 1: the two point inversion, they're missing the real point. And
Speaker 1: I told Gabe this the first thing this morning. I
Speaker 1: didn't think you wanted to hear it from you, honestly, um,
Speaker 1: because I was like, people are gonna be talking about
Speaker 1: the right thing today. He's like, all right, what are
Speaker 1: they talking about. I'm like, I shouldn't. I shouldn't do this.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't tell people what to what to say. You know,
Speaker 1: these are my opinions. I don't care if one conversion
Speaker 1: because it was right. I don't care for the quarterack
Speaker 1: sneak because the game was over anyway, because you you know,
Speaker 1: hit the fifty six yard field goal. The problem was
Speaker 1: the atlant of Facons. As we stated yesterday in the show,
Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the NFL, their secondary,
Speaker 1: their linebacking corps. It's horrible. They're averaging like thirty two
Speaker 1: points a game allowed or something along those lines. The
Speaker 1: first quarter they have more points than anybody. Gisque none.
Speaker 1: Actually in the first quarter, the Giants against this worst
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL, had six points until garbage time.
Speaker 1: Six two field goals. Eli had three completions. Have the
Speaker 1: Odell touchdown. Three completions in the red zone all night.
Speaker 1: He was three in the red zone. They got there
Speaker 1: and they couldn't convert. It's pathetic when you go an
Speaker 1: offense and Odell Beckham and say Koon Barkley to score
Speaker 1: six points before garbage time is unacceptable. And this is
Speaker 1: the Giants weekend and week out. And yeah it's Eli
Speaker 1: because he's terrible, but it's also on Pat Srmer horrible,
Speaker 1: horrible job. Yeah, they had six points going into the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter yesterday, and you can't really blame the offense
Speaker 1: in terms of moving the ball. They were able to
Speaker 1: move the ball, couldn't score once they got in the
Speaker 1: red zone. That's just more of the same look. Sterling
Speaker 1: Shepherd a hundred and sixty seven yards, Odell Beckham a
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards, Like these guys did their job.
Speaker 1: Take one Arkley, Obviously, we were expecting a better performance
Speaker 1: out of him, but look forty rushing, another fifty one
Speaker 1: receiving so close to a hundred yards from scrimmage, and
Speaker 1: a touchdown, So take one. Yes, you want him to
Speaker 1: be better overall, you want the Giants whole offense to
Speaker 1: be better once they're in the red zone. I think
Speaker 1: that was obvious there. Um. Kevin Coleman on the other side,
Speaker 1: did his part, scored a long touchdown. I think we
Speaker 1: were expecting more from Matt Ryan overall as well. Three
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards. Yes, that's great, but only one touchdown. Look,
Speaker 1: another game in the NFL, another week goes by, another
Speaker 1: week without a touchdown. He was great, And if you
Speaker 1: watched the post game afterwards, when ESPN is talking to him,
Speaker 1: he's completely selfless, like he doesn't care if he scores touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He said that time and time again, like I don't know, man, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say he won? If they would
Speaker 1: have lost that we've been a different conversation obviously, But
Speaker 1: I mean they've been losing more than they've been winning
Speaker 1: this year, So it's I'm saying this game in this interview.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's freaking out and coming out and
Speaker 1: saying like, oh uh, you know, we're not winning because
Speaker 1: I'm not scoring touchdowns, or at least from what I've seen,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him actually complained about that. But look
Speaker 1: still great for PPR nine for one oh four. I
Speaker 1: think Edo Smith was a big leftown yesterday. Seven carries
Speaker 1: for sixteen yards. He was involved in the past game,
Speaker 1: only had two receptions for twenty nine yards. I think
Speaker 1: we were expecting more of him overall. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: he was a Netflix discussion coming in. But Tevin Coleman
Speaker 1: did his job. Not really much else to go around here,
Speaker 1: Like everyone who was supposed to do what they were
Speaker 1: supposed to do pretty much did that. Calvin Redley returned,
Speaker 1: Was that all right? Five three? Great? One? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know it's always wrong with the turf. I thought last night,
Speaker 1: se Kwan trip the bunch. Calval Ridley tripped the bunch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of times, So I thought that was okay.
Speaker 1: I thought, listen, both teams are able to move the ball,
Speaker 1: no problem, Um, do their do their things. Of course,
Speaker 1: Atlanta was was obviously able to see that they were
Speaker 1: going to dump it off a sea kwan a lot
Speaker 1: and they lunched it through the line. Um elik Like
Speaker 1: I said, it was terrible, um and that was the
Speaker 1: second biggest story. Indeed, it well it's great. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: I was out last night and uh he who must
Speaker 1: be named kid next to me and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: are you watching Raw? And I was like, I go
Speaker 1: giants Han, but oh well, no, do you see the
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns interview? I go, no, I passed forward through
Speaker 1: over Roman Reins in your views. Uh so no, even
Speaker 1: if I was watching RAW, I would not have seen this.
Speaker 1: And he tells me Roman Rains is leukemia and he's
Speaker 1: gonna like this chill that I just got again. I'm
Speaker 1: like what, And it's true. Man. What's said is that
Speaker 1: it's extremely sad. And obviously, you know, a guy like
Speaker 1: in the prime of his career, not just like wrestling career,
Speaker 1: but overall like his career, like he's getting it done
Speaker 1: right now. Obviously a huge name in Roman Reigns. Apparently
Speaker 1: he's been battling this for eleven years. So I assumed
Speaker 1: it's gone into like remission and then it's come back,
Speaker 1: and now it seems like it has come back and
Speaker 1: he had to relinquish his championship. I mean that's obviously
Speaker 1: on the back burner. Who cares about that? Obviously, all
Speaker 1: we're hoping for is for him to you know, get
Speaker 1: better and you know maybe one day because return. But
Speaker 1: obviously that's that's on the back burner now. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it really, it really is just uh it's it's crazy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's you wouldn't even expect either, right, like
Speaker 1: for a guy like in that good of shape, like
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like the last thing that you
Speaker 1: would expect, right, Yeah, it was crazy, you know he
Speaker 1: he I was telling Judy actually last night that he
Speaker 1: missed HOW shows and like Boston over the weekend. Everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what the hell is this? I got like a Bleacher
Speaker 1: Report update yesterday it was like Roman Reign's injured question mark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he missed, he missed. No one knows what's going on.
Speaker 1: It was the weekend in Boston and he doesn't really
Speaker 1: miss HOW shows. It was like, what's going on? Like
Speaker 1: why wasn't he around? And right, he's that raw, so
Speaker 1: I guess there's no big deal and he just took
Speaker 1: the weekend offers from family stuff and he comes out
Speaker 1: like in street clothes. It was like, oh, this is nice.
Speaker 1: He's like not wearing this stupid shield gear. And then
Speaker 1: he makes his announcement. He's like, hey, my name is Joe.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh boy, I mean I already knew
Speaker 1: the answer because Jake told me. But like it was sad.
Speaker 1: It was really sad. Obviously got booed out of the
Speaker 1: arena when he walks in and then cheered out of
Speaker 1: the arena right for so um as he walked out
Speaker 1: and actually come back from commercial and the announcers I
Speaker 1: was trying. They had to obviously know, I think, but
Speaker 1: it sure seemed like they didn't really know what was
Speaker 1: going on. Um, just be how their emotions, how they
Speaker 1: were like building up romans announcement like in storyline. They
Speaker 1: came out and they were in tears after that. Uh,
Speaker 1: Corey Grahams were ever a young and Um and Michael
Speaker 1: Cole and it was weird. It was It was just weird,
Speaker 1: really really weird. A night Aura And in the background
Speaker 1: of all that, the crowd chance and cancer sucks because
Speaker 1: it does. Evan suck. Um tough night Man, Tough Night
Speaker 1: It sucked. Yeah, yeah, it definitely does. But you know,
Speaker 1: shouts rom regns uh get better and hopefully hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: see you again in the future. Not to not to
Speaker 1: kind of build on um, but it has to be
Speaker 1: really serious. Like it's obviously serious because leukemia, but like
Speaker 1: it has to be really serious that as he was
Speaker 1: the champion, that he couldn't wrestle like one more matches
Speaker 1: and to lose the belt, like you knew he he
Speaker 1: had this big thing, uh in Saudi Arabia, which is
Speaker 1: a whole other problem, but like they have they have
Speaker 1: a big event in sort of Arabian two weeks and
Speaker 1: this has to me that serious that he couldn't either
Speaker 1: you go to that or b wrestle because he's a
Speaker 1: champion whatever he even if he hasn't you watch just
Speaker 1: lay down and he get pinned. Whatever. This is immediate serious,
Speaker 1: you know, crazy yeah, this because hopefully he could get
Speaker 1: he'd get back on track. Man. That's uh, that's that's
Speaker 1: pretty much it, right, yeah, m all right. So from
Speaker 1: there we will move on to the third biggest story
Speaker 1: a Monday Night, which is the Knicks losing again. I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. You know, in the end your recap you
Speaker 1: said that that was not a close game. It was
Speaker 1: actually very close until like the last two minutes again,
Speaker 1: was tied with like three minutes left. Yeah, but like that,
Speaker 1: it wasn't yeah, but it was. It was closer than
Speaker 1: you led to believe, Like you know, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just completely destroyed the Knicks last night. He didn't really.
Speaker 1: I was watching that for when I saw the game
Speaker 1: was tied going the fourth quarter, because at halftime they
Speaker 1: were down by like twenty, like, all right, well, wow
Speaker 1: they came. They battle all the way back. They tied
Speaker 1: the game going into the fourth court. Let's see what
Speaker 1: they have to offer. And then it was just the Knicks.
Speaker 1: You know. Chris Middleton was great. Chris Midleton is always great.
Speaker 1: He was, he was awesome. Good job I haven't updated,
Speaker 1: Oh man, I meant to pick up somebody off Fantasy
Speaker 1: Basketball waiver wire and I forgot today. Well but in
Speaker 1: all seriousness, the other big story that we wanted to
Speaker 1: get to you was a Mari Cooper being traded yesterday
Speaker 1: for a first round draft pick. That have an after
Speaker 1: our show yesterday, what were your thoughts? And then what
Speaker 1: are your thoughts now? Frank? So everyone's bashing the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys for giving up a first round pick for Marie
Speaker 1: Coop while the Patriots fleeced the Cleveland Browns and got
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon for a fifth round pick. And then, you know,
Speaker 1: I just saw a few people talking about this on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Imagine the backlash you know, people would have had on
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys if they were actually the ones to
Speaker 1: trade for Josh Gordon. Like everyone praises this move because
Speaker 1: it was the Patriots who it and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Patriots gotta steal. But if at the time the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were the team to trade for Josh Gordon, I'm
Speaker 1: sure they would have got backlash regardless. So, yes, the
Speaker 1: first round pick is a lot to give up for
Speaker 1: a Marii Cooper And based on everything else that we've heard,
Speaker 1: it seems like the other teams there was no other
Speaker 1: team willing to give up a first round pick. We
Speaker 1: were just talking to Corey about this downstairs. Uh, they're
Speaker 1: probably gonna use that first round pick this path this
Speaker 1: upcoming season to draft a wide receiver anyway. And you
Speaker 1: know it is different because that wide receiver would be
Speaker 1: playing under a rookie contract, obviously would likely be younger
Speaker 1: than a Mary Cooper, but people don't realize the Mary
Speaker 1: Cooper is still only twenty four years old. He's younger
Speaker 1: than Cooper Cup. I've seen some people, you know, point
Speaker 1: that out on Twitter. They desperately needed to make this move.
Speaker 1: They have Cole Beasley, who's like the underneath slot receiver,
Speaker 1: but by no means should he be the top receiver
Speaker 1: on this team. They now get that guy on the
Speaker 1: outside who can stretch the field, who can make the
Speaker 1: place or hope or at least we hope he can
Speaker 1: because you know, he's been given opportunities in the past
Speaker 1: and actually had a Stat of the day for the
Speaker 1: first time in a while. Great. It's kind It comes
Speaker 1: via Scott Barrett, So it's not really my stat of
Speaker 1: the day. It' Scott Barretts Stat of the Day, which
Speaker 1: I stole what I'm giving credit four. So so it's okay.
Speaker 1: Among all sixty one wide receivers to see at least
Speaker 1: one and fifty catchable targets in Marie, Cooper ranks dead
Speaker 1: last and drop rate thirteen point one percent. To put
Speaker 1: that in perspective, Doug Baldwin dropped one pass every thirty
Speaker 1: eight catchable targets. Cooper has dropped one every seven point
Speaker 1: six catchable targets, so that's you know, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a thirty catch difference between Doug Baldwin and Mari Cooper
Speaker 1: in terms of how often they dropped the ball. So
Speaker 1: he look, I guarantee if you asked the Marie Cooper,
Speaker 1: he would tell you I need to be better in
Speaker 1: terms of his fantasy value here. I think the targets
Speaker 1: go up. Will probably see more consistent targets. But remember
Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't pass the ball all that much in
Speaker 1: terms of play volume, Like they're going to run the
Speaker 1: football a lot still with Ezekiel Elliott there, you know,
Speaker 1: they throw the football the fifth fewest times in the
Speaker 1: NFL to this point the season. So you can see
Speaker 1: more consistent targets out of Mamori Cooper. I just I
Speaker 1: don't think this moosts value all that much. He's in
Speaker 1: the wide receiver three discussion from the value changes all
Speaker 1: that much. Either. I'll break it down my thoughts and
Speaker 1: hell your place them we go to the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: We'll do that when we come back to waiver wire Tuesday.

Speaker 1: Dallas and me personally, I don't like the trade for Dallas.
Speaker 1: I'm on the side of they give up too much.
Speaker 1: It's the first round pick, and I understand they're more
Speaker 1: desperate necess than the Patriots were. And Josh Gordon certainly
Speaker 1: has more issues than a Maori Cooper does off the field.
Speaker 1: And despite Cooper dealing with the concussion, still a young
Speaker 1: guy and he can improve, no doubt. But give me
Speaker 1: up that first round pick. That bothers me because I
Speaker 1: gets you gotta givote something to get something. But next
Speaker 1: year is his option year and he's gonna want to
Speaker 1: get paid. And if he balls out as Dallas hopes
Speaker 1: he does, they don't know him a lot of money.
Speaker 1: And as we've seen with some of these teams with
Speaker 1: UH store wide receivers, the Giants and the Bucks for instance,
Speaker 1: the last two to do it. When you play these
Speaker 1: all but tross contracts. These wide receivers, you gotta save
Speaker 1: money elsewhere, and it hasn't exactly worked. So, yeah, Dallas
Speaker 1: has the young quarterback under the rookie contract right now,
Speaker 1: but that goes away to next year, I believe. I
Speaker 1: mean after next year they gotta get Dack an extension.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know the long term,
Speaker 1: this is the right mover for Dallas. Obviously Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: will pay, but it's a salary cap you gotta worry about.
Speaker 1: So question more que the nazis for me with the Cowboys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand from that perspective. Um, yeah, they're gonna They're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay Dak Prescott as well. Um look,
Speaker 1: look if if they end up having to pay a
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper, that's gonna because he, you know, performed well
Speaker 1: for them. So I mean, if that's how they want
Speaker 1: to look at it, it just seems like they were
Speaker 1: the biggest problem with giving up the first round pick.
Speaker 1: It just seems like they were bidding against themselves, like
Speaker 1: who else was going to give up a first round pick?
Speaker 1: I saw that the Eagles were involved. I know there
Speaker 1: were a few other teams that were talking trying to
Speaker 1: get a Mari Cooper. But I just who else was
Speaker 1: willing to give up a first round pick. I I
Speaker 1: don't really think there was anybody. I think a second
Speaker 1: round pick probably could have got this done. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so too. I think ultimately something pick would get
Speaker 1: it done. But I'm sure Reggie mackenzie asked for a
Speaker 1: first and Stephen and the rumber one Stephen Jones called
Speaker 1: him out and said, all right, you got it. No
Speaker 1: back and forth, huh, just the take the It's like
Speaker 1: in fantasy, like you're throwing out a terrible trade off
Speaker 1: route there. It's like the first trade offer just for
Speaker 1: like you know, the feeling out process, like hey, I'll
Speaker 1: give you a Raheem Mostter, you give me Kareem Hunt,
Speaker 1: like you know, let's just let's just get the talk started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now I'll take that trade. I'll take that. Now I
Speaker 1: want I want Raheem Moostar for for Kareem Hunter. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just I just really want them on my team.
Speaker 1: So that's basically how it went down. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: I just a screen shot. Um Dan Dugan, his Giants reporter,
Speaker 1: just tweeted this out that the Sakwan Barkley sa Kwan
Speaker 1: Barkley t D was not reviewed. The Giants have the
Speaker 1: p A D D out there, and then Sherman was like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we should go over to Gosh. So Mark
Speaker 1: Cooper heads to Dallas and that brings us to our
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups for this week. Lots of Oakland Raiders,
Speaker 1: lots of Oakland Raiders and and if you watch the
Speaker 1: fandwel hurry up later on today, it will be filled
Speaker 1: with Oakland Raiders, but never a good thing. No, it's
Speaker 1: probably not. But they have to replace Marshawn Lynchon in
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, who's out for a while. They now
Speaker 1: have to replace Mark Cooper in the starting line up,
Speaker 1: who's out for good because he's on Dallas. Let me
Speaker 1: just start with replacing Amari Cooper. Who gets the biggest
Speaker 1: bump with a Cooper trade? I think undoubtedly it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's Jordy Nelson and Jared Cook. I think those are
Speaker 1: the first two names. But unfortunately those two are likely
Speaker 1: owned already. You could go out, I mean go ahead
Speaker 1: and check your waiver wire just in case, because they
Speaker 1: were on a by this past week in Week seven,
Speaker 1: and so you know, Fantasy owners needed that roster spot.
Speaker 1: They might have got rid of Jared Cook, they might
Speaker 1: have got rid of a Jordy Nelson. But if you remember,
Speaker 1: we actually told you to hold onto Jordy Nelson throughout
Speaker 1: the buy in case Amari Cooper was traded, which seems
Speaker 1: to be the case. But I do think that it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's just it's more Jordy Nelson targets. It's more Jared Cook.
Speaker 1: And look, there's still a chance that those guys can
Speaker 1: get traded too. I know that today is the trade deadline,
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. There's only a few hours
Speaker 1: left until then. Today that it was next Tuesday. I
Speaker 1: somebody told me yesterday that it was today. I thought
Speaker 1: it would be wrong, could be wrong. You look that
Speaker 1: up anyway, It's alright, so it's next week next So
Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, we'll have Jordy Nelson for
Speaker 1: at least another week. But I think it's Jordy Nelson,
Speaker 1: it's Jared Cook. In deeper leagues, you're gonna see Martavis
Speaker 1: Brian available. Obviously, he's owned pretty much. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: unknowned across the board. I think he more so just
Speaker 1: steps into that Marii Cooper role where the down the
Speaker 1: down the field threat, the big receiver type of role.
Speaker 1: But as we've seen out of Mary Cooper for you know,
Speaker 1: the past year and a half now, that is a
Speaker 1: very inconsistent role. So r Tavis Bryant will have a
Speaker 1: little bit more upside. He'll be on the field a
Speaker 1: little bit more, he'll see more targets, but like a
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper, he's going to be very boom er bust.
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of I think it's a
Speaker 1: lot of Joy Nelson, a lot of Jared Cook, and
Speaker 1: then once we get into the running backs, um, you
Speaker 1: might even see more targets out of Jailan Richard from
Speaker 1: a guy who was seeing a pretty safe floor of
Speaker 1: targets every single week before this trade and before the
Speaker 1: injury to Marshall Lynch. So it's Jordy, It's Cook, it's
Speaker 1: Jaylan Richard who I think see the biggest upticks in
Speaker 1: the past game. Okay, so Jaylan Richard, I want to
Speaker 1: get to him in a second. Martavis Bryant you also mentioned,
Speaker 1: and he's the one I'm looking at. The two obvious
Speaker 1: wide receivers Marte of is Brian and the architect Seth Roberts. Um,
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant only on in seven percent of Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: out there everywhere. He's out there everywhere, and he's at
Speaker 1: least in the past shown something. Um. I think he's
Speaker 1: shown some talent this year as well. And I think
Speaker 1: ultimately Seth Roberts is what he does his cat a
Speaker 1: little bit right, He's not nearly as talented as Brian.
Speaker 1: That could be more consistent maybe because maybe he goes
Speaker 1: right in that slot and through the years he has
Speaker 1: been the one that has taken, uh, taking time and
Speaker 1: taking opportunities away from Muri Cooper. So maybe Seth Roberts
Speaker 1: is a sneaky one, But I think Martavis Bryant is
Speaker 1: a more exciting option, and I would go with him.
Speaker 1: How much you bidding Martevis Bryant, I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: you might feel differently. I'm not going too hard for
Speaker 1: this again. I just think there's gonna still be a
Speaker 1: lot of mouse of feed from the guys that I mentioned,
Speaker 1: And in fact, I know there's a lot of mouse.
Speaker 1: There's there's he's gonna he's gonna step into that Mr.
Speaker 1: Cooper role, but that has been an inconsistent role, so
Speaker 1: tend a twelve percent is too much. That's probably the
Speaker 1: range of I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: I'm not breaking the bank for Mortavis Bryan because I
Speaker 1: don't think it's it's a lock, um, But I think
Speaker 1: it's fine. I'm fine with that. See, I think there's
Speaker 1: other wide receivers that we're going to discuss that I
Speaker 1: would like more than him. Really, okay, are you bidding
Speaker 1: on Seth Roberts in a deeper league? You could definitely
Speaker 1: throw you know, a few bucks there or whatever. Three
Speaker 1: to five percent bid just because the reasons you mentioned.
Speaker 1: If he steps into the slot, we've seen in years
Speaker 1: past that they like to use him in the red
Speaker 1: zone as well. Uh, not necessarily the case this year.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that many red zone targets, but in
Speaker 1: years past he was used in that capacity. So, you know,
Speaker 1: three to five percent. He's one of those those wide
Speaker 1: receiver flyers you just throw a little bit on, but
Speaker 1: you just don't just don't spend too much on. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: he's an end of the bench, sticking with sticking with
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Before we move on, you mentioned Jalen Richard
Speaker 1: and Jayla Richard obviously gets above in the receiving game,
Speaker 1: and he also gets a bump in the running game
Speaker 1: with Marshawn Lynch out for the month, if you have
Speaker 1: to choose between Doug Martin and Jaylon Richard, and I
Speaker 1: know this happened that this news came out last week,
Speaker 1: but it was after some of the waivers run waivers rans,
Speaker 1: and these guys could be out there for you. Um,
Speaker 1: if you have to choose one between Rochard and Martin,
Speaker 1: which one would you go with? It's the cop out answer,
Speaker 1: but this is what it has to be for this situation.
Speaker 1: It's it's situationally dependent. So in full point PPR, I'll
Speaker 1: take Jaylon Richard in non PPR, and even half PPR,
Speaker 1: I will still take Doug Martin. I think he steps
Speaker 1: in as the lead running back here. And if you
Speaker 1: look at what Marshawn Lynch had been doing, uh, he
Speaker 1: played fifty point three six percent of the snaps on
Speaker 1: the season, So that's likely the role that Doug Martin
Speaker 1: steps into. Maybe that that many snaps. Maybe he doesn't
Speaker 1: get fifty percent, but you know, maybe in that forty
Speaker 1: percent range Marshall Lynch had been you know on a
Speaker 1: per game basis a top twenty four running back this year.
Speaker 1: He had fifteen red zone carries, which was inside the
Speaker 1: top ten for running backs this season in terms of
Speaker 1: red zone carries. So Doug Martin I think just pretty
Speaker 1: much takes on that role in non pp R and
Speaker 1: half PPR. I'll take him in full PPR. I'll take
Speaker 1: jail on a chard, But I do like for Chard
Speaker 1: a lot. He's only had his season high is twenty
Speaker 1: four rushing yards. He doesn't do anything there, but he's
Speaker 1: had at least six receptions in four out of six games.
Speaker 1: The targets have been very consistent. From a PPR perspective,
Speaker 1: he has been um. He's just provided a very safe floor.
Speaker 1: And I think with Mark Cooper gone, with Lynch gone,
Speaker 1: that floor is even safer now and we might even
Speaker 1: see even more upside because he's gonna be on the
Speaker 1: field more. H Yeah, I think that. I think that
Speaker 1: makes sense. Here, Oh, here we go. There's been a trade.
Speaker 1: I got a text. Now it's all of my timeline.
Speaker 1: The Giants have trade in cornerback Eli Apple in the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Wow, that's interesting. Well, you know, say
Speaker 1: the Saints played against the Giants called weeks ago Eli Apple.
Speaker 1: I think we missed that game. We knew that they
Speaker 1: needed a cornerback. But hey, okay, maybe the Giants doing
Speaker 1: something smart. Okay is that smart though? I mean Eli
Speaker 1: Apple's pretty young and he was playing well this year
Speaker 1: when he was on the field. Resources man need resources
Speaker 1: to rebuilds. Yeah, it depends what they get for him,
Speaker 1: so that'll be interesting to see. But listen, they couldn't
Speaker 1: give this guy jets. I mean, they couldn't give this
Speaker 1: guy away. It's good for the Giants, but um be
Speaker 1: interesting to see. Yeah, interesting to see what happens. Doesn't
Speaker 1: really affect fantasy all that most. Sorry, it was just
Speaker 1: a definitely worth bringing up. Other wide receivers also something
Speaker 1: that happened after Waivers RAN's head again out for the
Speaker 1: season with New Orleans, which means Tray Kuan Smith the
Speaker 1: next guy up. He plays significantly over Cam Marioth over
Speaker 1: the weekend. From Smith's out there, how much is spending Frankie,
Speaker 1: He's likely in that same range as Martavis Bryant. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are very excited about Trey
Speaker 1: Kwan Smith over the weekend, and I get it. He
Speaker 1: has big play potential. He has upside, but again the
Speaker 1: Saints offense, it runs through who it runs through, and
Speaker 1: that's Michael Thomas, that's mark Ingram, that's Alvin Kamara. We
Speaker 1: even saw Ben Watson involved again this week. Six targets
Speaker 1: called all six altos. I had a touchdown in this game,
Speaker 1: so well, I do like the big play upside of
Speaker 1: trade Kuan Smith. Again, this was a guy who people
Speaker 1: fantasy analysts were very excited about in the preseason. He
Speaker 1: made some noise, he had that big game before the
Speaker 1: bye week. I just don't know that there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of consistency there. So he's in that same
Speaker 1: range as Mark Tavis Bryant. I would kind of put
Speaker 1: them on the same level. Um, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to jump the gun or anything as there was the
Speaker 1: other that would be crazy the the if the Packers
Speaker 1: wide receivers were dropped during the um during the bye week,
Speaker 1: those are really the guys that I'm looking at. Because
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb owned I So I agree with you. Normally,
Speaker 1: anything like below sixty I think it is worth talking about.
Speaker 1: So I I agree with you, but I will say
Speaker 1: that we don't have any confirmation that these guys are healthy, like,
Speaker 1: there's been no indication that they're back. We assume they
Speaker 1: are because we thought they were most of playing in
Speaker 1: the Packers last game two weeks ago, but we have
Speaker 1: not been given any indication that they're healthy ready to rock.
Speaker 1: Just say yeah right out of the gate. They Who
Speaker 1: knows if they'll be able to help you in Week eight.
Speaker 1: Act certainly trust Roonomo Allison much more than I do
Speaker 1: Randall Cob. It's just it's just been seasoned after season
Speaker 1: that Rando Cobb continues to get hurt now, and we
Speaker 1: know that Allison was dealing with that significant concussion. But
Speaker 1: that role, that number two wide receiver role is up
Speaker 1: for grabs, and we've seen, especially the past couple of
Speaker 1: weeks m v S Marquez Valden scant Ley has made
Speaker 1: the most of that opportunity. I wouldn't drop him yet either,
Speaker 1: because there's still a chance that he is the number
Speaker 1: of two wide receiver on this team. But you want
Speaker 1: to take a shot if those guys were dropped, because
Speaker 1: if they do emerge as that wide receiver to then
Speaker 1: you're looking at a legitimate, you know, high end wide
Speaker 1: receiver three for fantasy purposes, Yeah. Absolutely. Um. I love
Speaker 1: Jeronimo Allison. I own him everywhere. As you know, Randall
Speaker 1: Cobb when he's healthy, is worth it. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: Frank today, Martamos Bryant's out there right, Jack Blain Smith's
Speaker 1: out there. Would you drop m the s in order
Speaker 1: to get one of those guys? If you are anticipating
Speaker 1: that Cobb and or al So are healthy, you may
Speaker 1: not with with some of these byeways, you may not
Speaker 1: have some room to drop. So would you drop and
Speaker 1: the s for one of these guys? I would do
Speaker 1: it for Geronimo Allison. I wouldn't do it for Randall
Speaker 1: cop What about for Trade Kwon Smith? What about for
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant? No, I wouldn't. Okay, because there's still a chance.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the GI So you're saying there's
Speaker 1: a chance, Like with Marcus Valve Scandling. You know I
Speaker 1: said this before the bye. I mean they could have
Speaker 1: watched film. He could have talked with Aaron Rodgers, the
Speaker 1: coaching staff, whatever it was, they could have realized, all right,
Speaker 1: like we want to continue to give this guy a shot,
Speaker 1: Like let's see what he can do. Maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: the first game out of the by the three wide
Speaker 1: receiver sets are Davantae Adams, MVS, and Alison Maybe Randall
Speaker 1: Cops just kind of phased out here. We already saw that,
Speaker 1: you know, they were trying to cut him. They were
Speaker 1: trying to trade him before the season. So I would
Speaker 1: not drop MVS yet for either trade Kwan Smith or
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant, because again with the Saints bottom mouths to
Speaker 1: feed with the Oakland Raiders, I just don't know what
Speaker 1: the consistency is gonna be. Like this team could trade
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. It just seems like they're trying to get
Speaker 1: anything that they can get for anything on that team.
Speaker 1: So um, I just I'll trust the Packers passing attack
Speaker 1: more so than those others. Okay, other wide receivers that
Speaker 1: are out there from New Orleans from besides the Green
Speaker 1: May guys, besides Martavis Bryant and besides Tray Kwan Smith. Uh, Frankie,
Speaker 1: you mentioned Courtland Sutton. He's Marius Thomas and or Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sandras gets traded only abou. Yeah, I'm very excited about
Speaker 1: this one too, because I do think a trade will
Speaker 1: happen here. I can see to Marius Thomas getting shift
Speaker 1: out for you know, a third whatever, the third round
Speaker 1: pick whatever that might be. The Emmanuel Sanders I think
Speaker 1: is the guy that sticks around so Um, obviously we
Speaker 1: need him to get healthy for fantasy purposes. But Cortland
Speaker 1: Sutton has flashed a little bit here already this season.
Speaker 1: He has a few games with touchdowns. They use the
Speaker 1: second round pick on him, so they're obviously very excited
Speaker 1: about him. They use that draft pick knowing that, okay,
Speaker 1: he's going to be part of this wide receiver corps
Speaker 1: for the future, whether it's him and Emmanuel Sanders. They
Speaker 1: also use the draft pick on day Shawn Hamilton's so
Speaker 1: if you're play in deeper leagues, he's another name to
Speaker 1: pay atten into here. But very excited about Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 1: I do think whether it's if it's not this week,
Speaker 1: next week to Marius Thomas has traded from the team,
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton just steps in as that outside wide US
Speaker 1: leader two for this team. I agree, and you do
Speaker 1: it now, if Frankie, you do it now before we
Speaker 1: cost you everything next next week. Uh, two more guys,
Speaker 1: I want to get you in the wide receivers and
Speaker 1: we'll move on to the running backs. UM and they
Speaker 1: both play the same team, Jachim Grant and DeVante Parker.
Speaker 1: This team is going to be without Kenny Stills because
Speaker 1: they play on Thursday, and they're out without Albert Wilson
Speaker 1: most likely for the rest of the season. Bar Rock
Speaker 1: has to throw to somebody, and I understand maybe Danny
Speaker 1: Amondola should be on this list as well. He's got
Speaker 1: to throw to somebody. There is no tight end worth it.
Speaker 1: H Kenny and Drake fine, but which wide receiver, if any,
Speaker 1: do you want to pick up in Miami. So again,
Speaker 1: if Danny Amandela was healthy, you know, because he's banged
Speaker 1: up again. He got banged up in that game. If
Speaker 1: he were healthy, and we knew that he was going
Speaker 1: to play in that Thur'say Night game, and there's no
Speaker 1: indication that he's not going to play yet. But what
Speaker 1: was his injury? I believe it was a shoulder. I
Speaker 1: saw he was definitely banged up. Either left that girlfriend
Speaker 1: push pictures of him on the beach, so he seems okay.
Speaker 1: When when did that happen? Yeah, probably like an older picture,
Speaker 1: probably laying an hostle bed somewhere. He's he's limited with
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury in Monday's practice, it looks like he's
Speaker 1: gonna go. He's the guy. Danny Amndol is the guy
Speaker 1: if you're hurt on bye week, because again we have
Speaker 1: four teams on a buy, and it's teams that you
Speaker 1: might have been using their wide receivers. It's you know,
Speaker 1: the Falcons with Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Mohammed sanw Uh
Speaker 1: if you were using Cold Beasley. The Cowboys are on
Speaker 1: a buy, Corey Davis is on a buy, and then
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen has also on to buy. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: be hurting four some wide receivers here. If you're playing PPR,
Speaker 1: we just saw Danny Amndola targeted seven times, had the
Speaker 1: six receptions for eighty yards. I think the way to
Speaker 1: attack the Texans is through their secondary So Dani A.
Speaker 1: Mendole is the guy. I think Jachem Grant is more
Speaker 1: of the boomer Bus. He is electric, like he is fast,
Speaker 1: but I just don't know that the target share is
Speaker 1: going to be there. Um Devanta Parker too, like I'm
Speaker 1: not fooling round Vanta Parker. I just think Danny Amundel
Speaker 1: is probably the safest of the buck. I think Avandula
Speaker 1: is the safest of the bunch, but he's also the
Speaker 1: most likely to get injured of the bunch. You start
Speaker 1: in desperation on Thursday, he lasts one play. If I
Speaker 1: one of these guys, I'm going to keep Grant. Like
Speaker 1: you said, he's electric. We've seen some of these big plays.
Speaker 1: In order to went out Thursday, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get some big plays. And I think Adam Gaze, who
Speaker 1: we don't trust at all, I think he utilizes Jakeem
Speaker 1: Grant on Thursday night. I really do. We can agree
Speaker 1: that Devantay Parker is just not even in the mix
Speaker 1: here right, Yes, keep the same. She keep happing for me,
Speaker 1: Danny avandelavver Frank. We move on to the running backs
Speaker 1: in the tight end when we come back. Stick around more.

Speaker 1: let's getting some of the drawing backs pick up cool? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: we mentioned Doug Martin and we mentioned Jalen Richard before
Speaker 1: we do what we did A ready, I spent twenty
Speaker 1: two dollars on Doug Martin over the season. Over the weekend,
Speaker 1: they spent too much twenty two out of fifty nine
Speaker 1: on my remaining dollars. So I told you to use
Speaker 1: twenty two because it was his number, right, That's not
Speaker 1: why I did it. That's why I just randomly, I
Speaker 1: don't know this one with two two at a fifty nine,
Speaker 1: it's like probably remaining budget. How much was the next
Speaker 1: HIGHS bid? I don't think you can see that on CBS, alright,
Speaker 1: can see the next Highes bid. It's probably for the best.
Speaker 1: I mean not being able to see the next bid.
Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to know how. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes it works out, but sometimes it'll be like, all right,
Speaker 1: the next closest bid was like three bucks, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather not Nope, all right, so I'll just let
Speaker 1: it rock. Did you trade too much? Did you spend
Speaker 1: too much desperately? I mean, it all comes down how
Speaker 1: desperate you from running back. So my running backs are
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Can you didn Drake Isaiah Crowwell and Duke Johnson,
Speaker 1: So I could use the running back. He's running back
Speaker 1: when I have I have Mozart have most started Giants.
Speaker 1: The Giants re sid a fourth and a seventh for
Speaker 1: a former first round pick. Pretty good, pretty good, pretty
Speaker 1: pretty good, Mary Cooper, former first round pick, got a
Speaker 1: first round pick. Too bad. You guys can trade with Dallas.
Speaker 1: There's two years ago, right, Yeah, sure was the guy
Speaker 1: they actually wanted in that draft. Wasn't it like Leonard
Speaker 1: Floyd or something? Was that the draft? Yes, Jack Conklin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was is your former GM. Okay, Reese doesn't
Speaker 1: like to trade up in the draft to get his
Speaker 1: guys down. When you don't get we'll just stay right here,
Speaker 1: and who's best player available? Eli Apple? Here's our guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how he felt he's gonna come play for the
Speaker 1: Big Apple. Right, it makes a bunch of sense. Let's
Speaker 1: draft him and let's trade him. By the way, the
Speaker 1: Giants two thousand and sixteen first round, it was Eli
Speaker 1: Apple was Eric Flowers. Things going well? We Eric Flowers
Speaker 1: over Todd Gurley, I mean, we'll just never get over
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, like the Jets are the best
Speaker 1: drafters either, I mean bunds of stuff you can make
Speaker 1: fun of for them too. Yeah. Uh So back to
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, if he's out there this week, you played
Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars, Like, I think he's out there in
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues for sure, And so I guess
Speaker 1: based on how much I paid for him, Like looking
Speaker 1: at is, that's that's too rich. It seems rich. It's
Speaker 1: Doug Martin count stinks. Yeah, I'd rather Jaitlyn Rechard. The
Speaker 1: Raiders stink, and I know you're gonna be playing from
Speaker 1: behind exactly, and they just lost your top receiver. Give
Speaker 1: me Jaylen Richard Man, all right, Like I would pay
Speaker 1: like I play, I would pay him or so for Richard.
Speaker 1: So you're probably close to like the fifteen for Doug Martin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. I think it was starting running back. They
Speaker 1: used Marshawn Lynch a lot. If Doug Martin just stepped
Speaker 1: into that role, then I think he'll at least have
Speaker 1: like high in flex potential. But we'll see. Would you
Speaker 1: rather start? Haven't really done once the past couple of years,
Speaker 1: there's no doubting that. Would you rather start Doug Martin
Speaker 1: or pick up Doug Martin rather or Ronald Jones. You've
Speaker 1: got a touchdown on Sunday, Peyton Barber is banged up, Greg. Yes, Frank,
Speaker 1: how many shows have we doneerated this season? You know
Speaker 1: how I feel about Tampa Bay running like they can't
Speaker 1: run the football. He scored a touchdown, He's still he
Speaker 1: rushed like six times for seventeen yards. He had one
Speaker 1: reception for fifteen yards. They don't use their running backs
Speaker 1: all that often in the past game. They can't run block.
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Bucks are an absolute mess. I'd rather
Speaker 1: have Doug Martin Ronald Jones. I mean, look, I just
Speaker 1: put them on the list because he could potentially be
Speaker 1: a starting running back because Peyton Barber is dealing with
Speaker 1: an undisclosed injury, which apparently Doug Dirt Cutter is not
Speaker 1: revealing to create competitive edge, so that the Bengals don't
Speaker 1: know which running back they're gonna like. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You can't run the football. Who cares what running back
Speaker 1: you're gonna use? I would take I would take either
Speaker 1: Raiders running back over Ronald Jones. I'd probably take rahem
Speaker 1: Mozart over freaking Ronald Jones. I mean, that's what ire
Speaker 1: well on the days most there, it's our guy, who
Speaker 1: has a very nice schedule coming up. By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this, Greg the Cardinals, Raiders, Giants,
Speaker 1: and Bucks. The next four games for the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners, Brida once again dealing with that ankle injury
Speaker 1: which reoccurred over the weekend. And then Alfred Morris just
Speaker 1: isn't great and this is a team, you know, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't the forty Niners at least see what they have
Speaker 1: in this kid? You mean, he's younger than Alfred Morris
Speaker 1: um and he has a hundred and forty six rushing
Speaker 1: yards on just nineteen carries over his last two games
Speaker 1: at seven point seven yards per carry. Also saw a
Speaker 1: season high thirty eight percent of the snaps in weeks seven.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm kind of excited about Mozart just based
Speaker 1: on the upcoming matchups. I don't think any of those
Speaker 1: teams are teams that are gonna blow them out either,
Speaker 1: Like the forty Niners are a bad team, yes, but
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Giants, maybe the Bucks get
Speaker 1: like a big lead in that game, but the other
Speaker 1: three teams like they're all bad, so those could be
Speaker 1: close games. From where Mozart is potentially the starting running back,
Speaker 1: that Brida has that ankle injury in and out of
Speaker 1: the lot, and there's most of their kids talented. Now,
Speaker 1: they did go back to Alfred Morris a bunch. He
Speaker 1: was actually had the most carries in the game last
Speaker 1: week for San Francisco in the game that they were
Speaker 1: down up most of So, you know, I think, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: a three headed I don't work called a monster. It's
Speaker 1: a three headed committee. It's the opposite of a monster
Speaker 1: cone committee. Grossness. Um, so you know, most just whatever.
Speaker 1: Then he had two there's two more guys. I I like,
Speaker 1: you have a couple more guys on here anyway, Frank
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, he's owned. He's available pretty much everywhere unless
Speaker 1: the Shan McCoy owner owns him. But McCoy concussion is
Speaker 1: that right, a head injury? But yet so he's got
Speaker 1: a concussion. Who do the Bills play this week? Patriots?
Speaker 1: It's an issue where they are fourteen point home underdogs,
Speaker 1: seems like an issue, but nobody circles the wagons like
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, Greg, because everything they got blood last week.
Speaker 1: That's the thing, Like, that's what you're looking at. They
Speaker 1: lost the game thirty seven of five last week, he
Speaker 1: still rushed sixteen times for eighty one yards, that's four
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and he had six targets three receptions
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards. So again, every single week, we're
Speaker 1: struggling to find running backs and whether you're missing out
Speaker 1: on you know, Tevin Woman being on a by, Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, there's a lot of running backs
Speaker 1: on a bye, even Dean Lewis and Derrick Henry like
Speaker 1: those aren't great options, but they might have been flexi
Speaker 1: options for you in the past. If Chris Ivey's available,
Speaker 1: which he widely is, he's only sewn on CBS Sports
Speaker 1: dot Com, and you are potentially getting a starting running
Speaker 1: back for this week. The only issue with this is
Speaker 1: that they play on Monday night, Greg, So if it
Speaker 1: turns out that Lashawn McCoy is questionable and we don't
Speaker 1: know before lineup lock on Sunday morning, and there's still
Speaker 1: a chance that McCoy can play, and if he does,
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory is giving you next to nothing. Really, Sunday Night,
Speaker 1: Monday Night, Monday Night, right, right, right, right? Which whose
Speaker 1: idea was it? Like I understand you want to get
Speaker 1: the Patriots in prime time, but like, even if it
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady versus Josh Allen, dude, I mean it
Speaker 1: could have been a j McCarran, the Bills were dude,
Speaker 1: the Bills are a playoff team. Last year, the Bills
Speaker 1: were not going to be good. There was no way.
Speaker 1: Greg They had the lowest gain total over under mean
Speaker 1: to the season, yet dropped like five and a half.
Speaker 1: I get it. Their playoff team. The atmosphere in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: you like that, we got it? Like I just explaining
Speaker 1: that prospering it. There's no no, there's no there's no
Speaker 1: rationale here with her into hats and Bills like it's
Speaker 1: a division game. That's it. Like there's no other reason,
Speaker 1: Like unless you're gonna show people going through tables in
Speaker 1: the preseason, like in the pregame for this game. That's good.
Speaker 1: That might be the most entertaining part of this whole
Speaker 1: night on Monday Night, Patriots Bills four team point home dogs.
Speaker 1: I want I want to see people go through flaming tables.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. Greg. I don't want
Speaker 1: to watch Chris Ivey rom the football, so I just
Speaker 1: turn on Monday night Row. I don't want to watch
Speaker 1: that either. Watch whatever crappy Knicks games on next one day?
Speaker 1: All right, does a bad job, man, Even if you're
Speaker 1: making the schedules like seven eight months ago, I will
Speaker 1: say this hold on Next Monday is the finale season finale,
Speaker 1: Holloe making championship, just saying there anyone else you want
Speaker 1: to pick up this week? And one more one more guy,
Speaker 1: one more guy and that or more. Actually, let's let's
Speaker 1: hit in the Jets your team. M okay, okay, uh No,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have I'm sorry, I don't have
Speaker 1: a J E. T. S and me this week? How freezing?
Speaker 1: How serious is the injury to Bob how uh Well,
Speaker 1: normally when a player gets hurt inside within a game,
Speaker 1: they like take him to the back and it'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: his questionable was to return. They rule him out of
Speaker 1: that game almost immediately, So take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been ruled out yet for this week,
Speaker 1: but I would probably be surprised if he plays so again.
Speaker 1: Trenton Cannon just he was the Jets leading receiver last week.
Speaker 1: He was a guy who flashed a little bit in
Speaker 1: the preseason. Just if you're really really desperate and like
Speaker 1: PPR leads, he might be a guy that could catch
Speaker 1: a few passes. They're not going to give Isaiah Crowell
Speaker 1: a full workload by any means. They haven't done that
Speaker 1: this year. He's been dealing with a foot ankle injury
Speaker 1: as well, so they're not gonna give Isaiah Corol twenty touches.
Speaker 1: Trenton Cannon is a name he's not owned anywhere. He's
Speaker 1: literally owned zero percent of leagues. I also wrote Elijah
Speaker 1: McGuire's name down on the rundown because he's eligible return
Speaker 1: in Week nine. Um, and this was a guy who
Speaker 1: flashed a little bit last year. We know is he
Speaker 1: still expected to come back. He practiced last week, so
Speaker 1: he's expected to return. So this is just like a
Speaker 1: deep stash. Interesting, you just want to throw it out there.
Speaker 1: They gave him some work last year. They were actually
Speaker 1: excited about him during the preseason. Remember remember there were
Speaker 1: reports that the Jets could have cut the wall pale
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason and just rolled with Isaiah Crowell and
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire as there as their two running backs there. Um,
Speaker 1: So that's he's just kind of like a really a
Speaker 1: deeper league stash because he's eligible to return a week nine. Um.
Speaker 1: And our guy Emery Hunt was very very excited about
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire last season, as was he for treco In So, um,
Speaker 1: we'll see, We'll see if Elija McGuire gets some work.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he will over the last you know,
Speaker 1: over the second half of the season, he'll get work.
Speaker 1: The Jets want to use him there, I think. So
Speaker 1: right now is Isaiah what is Isaiah Cruel? How comfortable
Speaker 1: are you starting him? He's a flex He's a low
Speaker 1: end flex option every week, That's what he is. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's a high end flex option. No, because I mean,
Speaker 1: even in the games that blaw power mrs, do you
Speaker 1: really think that they're going to give him a a
Speaker 1: twenty touch workload he had, Like that's that hasn't been
Speaker 1: his m O all year. Like even in the games
Speaker 1: where he's had these big breakout touchdowns, he he hasn't
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of work this year. So even if
Speaker 1: blal power Mrs time. I don't think that they're gonna
Speaker 1: put that burden on Isaiah Crowell. He's he's a flex
Speaker 1: option every single week, and the weeks where he does
Speaker 1: have these monster breakout games, you're gonna be annoyed that
Speaker 1: you didn't start him. But leave me. The thought process
Speaker 1: was right. He hasn't had more than sixteen carries in
Speaker 1: any game this year. Any thought here on Chris Herndon.
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon Um again, Chris Herndon is um. He's the
Speaker 1: guy who's scored a touchdown in two straight games, saw
Speaker 1: a career high in terms of a season high, career high.
Speaker 1: He's a rookie in targets this past week with seven
Speaker 1: and receptions with four. He actually should have had two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: but it actually, you know, he was ruled out at
Speaker 1: the one yard line. His foot touchdout of bounds, So
Speaker 1: whatever it was, they're starting to use him more, and
Speaker 1: they used the draft pick on him. We spoke about
Speaker 1: this with Christian Kirk and Josh Rosen. You know, two
Speaker 1: rookie offensive skilled position players coming into the league together
Speaker 1: kind of growing together, and I think we're seeing that
Speaker 1: a little bit with Sam Donald and Chris Herndon. So again,
Speaker 1: this is just like a deep like anytime a tight
Speaker 1: end pops up, Like a couple of weeks ago, it
Speaker 1: was you know, Van's McDonald, it was eg Usama. Now
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, our guys might actually be starting.
Speaker 1: So that's why it's worth picking up. Chris Herndon. All right,
Speaker 1: with that, we signed off of YouTube right now, The
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Frenzy comes your way next Chris Ventra, Jim Day,
Speaker 1: and the Fantasy executive Corey Parson. If you're listening live
Speaker 1: on the radio, will go for another five minutes or so.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the podcast, we appreciate all of
Speaker 1: your support. Please rate, subscribe, like, and leave a comment.
Speaker 1: We need five stars from you. Thank you very very much.
Speaker 1: Five minutes ago, Frank, let's get into the players to drop.
Speaker 1: We give you a bunch of kind of mediocre players
Speaker 1: to pick up tendant twelve percent, nothing more really significant
Speaker 1: other than the Packers guys, and the Raiders and the
Speaker 1: Raiders running backs. Right, speaking Raiders running backs, can you
Speaker 1: drop Marshall Lynch. He was placed on i R. He's
Speaker 1: eligible to return on Christmas Eve, December, but I'd be
Speaker 1: surprised if he plays again this year, I wouldn't hesitate
Speaker 1: dropping him. I agree with that, and Marshall lys Droppable
Speaker 1: I completely agree. So we both did Can you drop
Speaker 1: your boy, Corey Davis? This is one of those where
Speaker 1: you don't want to, but if you're really hurt by
Speaker 1: the bye weeks, Like if you drafted a team that
Speaker 1: has Keenan Allen and Corey Davis, hey, you're probably like
Speaker 1: two in five. You did that, um, But if you
Speaker 1: need the roster spot, you need the roster spot again.
Speaker 1: You don't get fantasy production for upside, for potential. He's
Speaker 1: had one great game this year where he was targeted
Speaker 1: fifteen times against the Eagles, nine receptions, a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty one yards in a touchdown. Every other game he's
Speaker 1: had sixty two yards of west. He only scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. Marcus Mariota and him don't seem
Speaker 1: to be on the same page. You just saw Taj
Speaker 1: Sharp have the big game this past week. Their past game,
Speaker 1: their offense overall has not looked great. If you need
Speaker 1: the roster spot, I try and find someone else. But
Speaker 1: if you need the roster spot, I would drop him.
Speaker 1: I'd like to hold on if I can, I agree,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was worth throwing his name out.
Speaker 1: I agree. It's a discussion for sure. You wrote cute
Speaker 1: Cole on here, I'll drop dropped him this past week.
Speaker 1: Probably picked up Doug Martin over the weekend. No problem
Speaker 1: with that. Albert Wilson who got hurt and Mary welcome
Speaker 1: as the rest of the season, I'll drop him too.
Speaker 1: I'll drop Mike Williams who wrote down here, No problem
Speaker 1: with that. When it comes to some of these other players,
Speaker 1: Frank or Keyhote and my end Mike Williams. Corey Davis
Speaker 1: isn't even ranked inside the top up fifty and Fantasy
Speaker 1: points wide receiver. It's awful, not good, not good, Buddy,
Speaker 1: not good, Bob, not great Bob. Yep, it's okay, um oh,
Speaker 1: he's actually when you turn into half point PPR, he's
Speaker 1: actually number fifty's that's great Bob wide receiver fifty in
Speaker 1: points per game, right behind Allen Robinson, Mark he's Goodwin,
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, Marvin Jones, Cold Beasley. That I mean a
Speaker 1: lot have underperforming wide receivers this year. Not great. The
Speaker 1: other guys in your list, you Cottle dropping them, we
Speaker 1: have because I would drop drop Mike Williams, Frank Or
Speaker 1: didn't perform in the good matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: Like when else are you gonna feel good about? Got
Speaker 1: banged up in that game? Did not? Everybody saw that
Speaker 1: and noticed that. But he got banged up. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: like based on the running backs that we brought up,
Speaker 1: I've dropped. I would drop him for any of the Raiders.
Speaker 1: I would drop him for Mozart. I would drop him
Speaker 1: for Ronald Jones. I guess if you need, if you
Speaker 1: need to start, like Chris Ivory. Sure, we dropped him
Speaker 1: for the wide receivers we mentioned too. Drop him for
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, any of the Packers, guys Court and Sutton.
Speaker 1: I'll take that shot. Creakwan Smith, he's very dropping. Hum,
Speaker 1: what do you do with may hang on Ki? He's
Speaker 1: not gonna play Thursday. They have the bye next week.
Speaker 1: I think we have what they don't the boy because
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, so they have a mini by Essentially, I
Speaker 1: think I hold on a Kiki. I think he's worth it.
Speaker 1: I would drop him for Jordy Nelson if you were available,
Speaker 1: or the Packers, that's fine, fine that um you could
Speaker 1: you could also drop the rat the rat that's your guy, Greg.
Speaker 1: Some DST streamers got Damian Ratley, and you could drop
Speaker 1: Josh Raynolds and those are your guys. Steelers versus the Browns,
Speaker 1: Cardinals against San fran You can start both of those
Speaker 1: defense forty Niners against the Cardinals, Patriots at Buffalo, Texans
Speaker 1: against Miami. There you go. The Frenzy's up next with
Speaker 1: Frankie Standfeld. My name is Greg Susman. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for watching and listening to the fantasy best Friends Forever.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope. H
