1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Thursday, October third, twenty twenty four. Welcome

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we're just looking

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: for efficiency. It's me and your man, NAMG Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: joined by Michael f. Florio and Lakwan Jones. And is

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: it I think it's Mean Girls Day? Isn't it right? Like? Oh, yeah,

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: it is on October third. I asked him what day

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: it is? What day is it? It's October third?

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: So Mean Girls on line out the speed.

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I've seen it a couple of times. That's all I got.

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: Quote the movie fun seated a lot fun fact about

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: that movie because Tim Meadows his hand was in a

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: cast and I watched the movie and he shows it

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: his hand's broken, and you're expecting to pay it off

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: with some gag and they never do.

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: It's because in real life, he actually broke his hand,

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: like a week before filming. Until they just made a

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: random acknowledgment of it. Was not any It was that

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: part of the script that was not part of the movie.

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: It was just that he actually broke his hand in

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: real life, and a lot of cast off. When they started

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: filming The Senior.

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 4: He breaks the glass to set the fire sprinklers off,

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: and he's just like he's in a tank top with

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: a broken hand in a baseball bat like look. He

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 4: looks way too cool for mean girls right now.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: I did not expect to start the show with a

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: whole lot of mean girls talk. Maybe they'll make it

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: into next year's film festival if we you know, we're

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: still here to be doing that at this point. We

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about on the show. We will

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: have our week five predictions for the week, also have

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: a chat with the Indianapolis Colts Titan Kylan Grantson will

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on how the offense is working now

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: under Shane Steichen in the second year and what is

35
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: the difference between playing with Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: because you can't imagine two more different quarterbacks stylistically, So

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: we will get his thoughts on that. But let's get

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: going with our calls for week five. We will start

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: with the guy who will be the top scorer, the

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: non quarterback will be the top scorer, and Lakwan, I'm

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: looking at this one here on the list and from

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: your lips to the fantasy God's ears, there's plenty of

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: people are hoping that this is the case. This week.

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: We need Travis Kelce and the worst way to finish

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: as tight end one like this may seem like an

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: obvious club dub, but it's not. It's hard out here

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: in these fantasy streets at the tight end position. But

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: the good thing is that you know Travis Kelce is

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: one of Patrick Mahome's most reliable targets, and last week

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: it's great signs to see him come alive in such

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: a time of need to really step up when you

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: lose such an X factor like Rashid Rice. So it's

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: great that he was able to step up and have

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: more receiving yards last week than he did in the

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: first three weeks combined. It So I'm hoping that he

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: can get up on this Saints defense because last time

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: they met, he put up twenty two fantasy points, which

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: is great numbers for a tight end right now, this

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: is something that we need bad because I think Xavier

60
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: Worthy plays a role in this matchup as well against

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Saints defense where he.

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Could be a decoy.

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: He could be such a huge dread to the secondary

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: way of speed, so I feel as though him playing

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: the decoy stretching the field leads the open field open

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: for Travis Kelcey to put up some big points.

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: I thought last week we would see more Travis kelce

68
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: mostly is just a response to the narratives. A lot

69
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: of people talking about like where's Travis Kelcey, And I

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: just felt like that seemed like they were gonna work

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: him in. Now going forward, we're gonna see a lot

72
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: of Travis Kelcey out of necessity, right, No, she Rice,

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: you know they're still waiting on Isaiah pa Checko. They

74
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: know they're not gonna have Marquis Brown, Like, they're just

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: running out of options. So at some point they're gonna

76
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: start loading up Travis Kelcey with targets. So everybody who

77
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: spent the high draft pick on him who has been frustrated.

78
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: One could be where she could have Mark Andrews. But two,

79
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: I think better days are are coming for him. Well

80
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: we're back.

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: Maybe my theory that the Chiefs just were telling him

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: to take it easy. I'm feeling pretty good about that

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: after seeing last week.

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like, hey, you need to put the

85
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: word out that you're back. Was Meanwhile, Florio, look you

86
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: got a guy who we're starting him anyway, The problem

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: has not been him. The problem has been his quarterback.

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: So it feels like this is a week that you

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: can really get excited about the Browns.

90
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been single digits or complete like thirty points

91
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: so far this year for Amari Cooper, and I think

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: we get the good Amari Cooper won. We had it

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: last week. He had an eighty two yard touchdown call back.

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 4: That was very frustrating watching that game. Amari Cooper, maybe

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 4: work on your hands a little bit this year because

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: I know drops have been an issue through the first

97
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. But yeah, look, he's top five in

98
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: targets and air yards in the NFL right now. And

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: then he gets the Washington Commanders, who have allowed the

100
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 4: second most fantasy points most touchdowns. It's only second most

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: because Kyler Murray and the Cardinals couldn't come through last week.

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 4: Every other week a wide receiver has just gone off

103
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: against them at least twenty three fantasy points. Marvin Harrison

104
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: Junior even had eighteen in that game last week. So

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: Amari Cooper gonna get some deep shots, gonna get the

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: end zone targets. I think this is a week where

107
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: he eats against the Commanders, And look, I even think

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: is oh wait, we're gonna talk about this a little

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: bit later, But he might not be the only Brown

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: that I took up in this episode.

111
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is a week right, it's been

112
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: it's been a struggle for the Browns passing game. This

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: feels like the week right if we are going on

114
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the premise of you can attack the commander's defense, well,

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: this is their opportunity. So for sure, for me, it's

116
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna be Jordan Mason, who has been fantastic ever since

117
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: week one. He stepped in that first week for Christian McCaffrey.

118
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: He has been great. He's been lights out to the

119
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: point that you know, we don't even to talk about him,

120
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: like do you start, Jordan, Yes, you start, Jordan Mason,

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Like there's no there's no discussion about it anymore. And

122
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: this week he gets a Cardinals defense that has been

123
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: pretty bad against the run. We have seen a lot

124
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: of teams attack them on the ground. I mean we

125
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: saw it week one, right from the jump, the Bills

126
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: deciding like we're not gonna spend a lot of time

127
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, We're just gonna try to run it

128
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: down their throats. They had a lot of success with that,

129
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: and I think you're just gonna see the Niners sort

130
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: of hold of that same formula. Not that you can't

131
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: start brock Purty. I think he'll be fine. I think

132
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: the passing game will be fine for the Niners. In fact,

133
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I think this is a week that your patient and

134
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Brandon I will finally be rewarded. But for sure, the

135
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna run the football early, They're gonna run

136
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: it often. I think if they get a lead, you're

137
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: gonna see Jordan Mason out there just trying to grind

138
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: clock and close it out. The only thing that could

139
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: stop is that every once in a while, Kyle Shanahan

140
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: seems to forget that he's allowed to run the ball,

141
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: and he seems like he's a He calls play sometimes

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: like he's trying to win brock Purty a Heisman Trophy.

143
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: So as long as he doesn't do that at some

144
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: point during the game, I think Jordan Mason's gonna be

145
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: great in Week five. Over to the snore, relax, our

146
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: favorite Week five sleepers. I mean, since we are all

147
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: things Browns apparently on his show, Leguan, I'm not mad

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: at it because this player appears in my sleepers column

149
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: as well this week. But who you got? Yeah, Oh,

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: I got Jerry Judy.

151
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: It sounds nasty like he's rostered in less than fifty

152
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: percent of the leagues and that was me checking earlier.

153
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: And it's like, I feel like a lot of people

154
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: are still having the bad taste in their mouth. But

155
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: this is the time to really jump on a guy

156
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: that's getting some volume and creating connection with this starting quarterback,

157
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: because when you look at it, it looks like Jerry Judy

158
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: is the better target option for Watson at least a

159
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: team in catches and yards right now. And Watson has

160
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: a higher completion percentage and passer rating whin targeting targeting

161
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: Jerry Judy versus Amari Cooper. So you cannot deny the

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: connection that's happening right now. I think he's a useful

163
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: player that has a solid twenty one percent target share,

164
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: so he's earning the volume. He has the great connection.

165
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: So you really can't go wrong this week jumping on

166
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: the Commander's defense.

167
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Alright, So I lied. He's not in the sleepers column,

168
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: but I did mention him as a sleeper on Fantasy Live.

169
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: I knew it somewhere it existed somewhere.

170
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 4: It's somewhere.

171
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I know that. I've said it out loud to people

172
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: right in a public forum, So there it is. But yeah, no,

173
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: I like Jerry Judy this week too. Well quite as

174
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: it's kept. He leads the team in receptions and receiving

175
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: yards too. Like Amari Cooper does have the big play potential.

176
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: He is the wide receiver one, but statistically it's Jerry

177
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Judy that's sort of leading the way there. So we've

178
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: talked about Amari Cooper, We've talked about Jerry Judy Florida.

179
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: I guess we do have to talk about the guy

180
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be throwing the football to them this weekend.

181
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 4: I do kind of love the idea of you walking

182
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: around like Ralphs or something like that and just telling.

183
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: You start Judy, sir, Like.

184
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: Jerry Judy, it's a Deshaun Watson week right like and look,

185
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: it's a one week thing. I'm not telling you like, oh,

186
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 4: Watson's playing great or something like that. It's just taking

187
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: advantage of the matchup. The Commanders are top two in

188
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: fantasy points allowed, top two and passing touchdowns allowed so

189
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: far this year, plus Deshaan I. The one thing I

190
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: think that gets overlooked a little bit with Watson is

191
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: that he has been run. It's like thirty two to

192
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: twenty six, twenty thirty nine yards. It's not like he's

193
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: giving us Jade and Daniel type production. But that's a

194
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: free fifty passing yard seventy five passing yards depending on

195
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: how your league is. And then he also has one

196
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: rushing touchdown, so he adds some value with his legs.

197
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: This could be a week where he really gets going

198
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: in the passing game because of the matchup. And the

199
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: best part about the Commanders this year is, unlike previous years,

200
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 4: they can score points, which means you have to keep

201
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: your foot on the pedal. Like It's not like you

202
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: could jump out to a quick two score lead or

203
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: something like that and then go into cruise control mode

204
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 4: because they got guys on the other side and they

205
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: are going to be putting up points of their own.

206
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Sean Watson seventh among quarterbacks in rushing yards this season. Wow,

207
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: So that is a plus. No, it's absolutely a plus.

208
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: We like those hidden fantasy points and he is giving

209
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: them to you by getting out of the pocket and

210
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: running the football. I'll stay with the quarterback and I'm

211
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna go Trevor Lawrence. And it has been the struggle

212
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: bus for Trevor Lawrence so this season. I mentioned earlier

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: in the week he had his best fantasy game of

214
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: the season last week. That best fantasy game of the

215
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: season net a jew less than fifteen points. But you

216
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: did have multiple touchdown passes the first time this year

217
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: he's had more than one touchdown pass in a game.

218
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Still waiting for him to consistently get over one hundred

219
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: and eighty yards. He's been under one hundred and eighty

220
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: three out of four games this season. This against the

221
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: Colts feels like an opportunity for him to put up

222
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: some decent passing numbers. He's going to get Evan Ingram

223
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: back this week, so it's one more weapon for him

224
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: to throw to. We know how well he and Ingram

225
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: worked out last year. I think it sort of allows

226
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to operate on three levels. You got Brian Thomas,

227
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: who we know can beat the defense deep. We got

228
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,119
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk who can sort of work kind of intermediate

229
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: part of the field, and you got Evan Ingram who

230
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: can kind of work underneath and that's not to say

231
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: anything about, you know, getting targets to Travis Etn or

232
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: somebody like that. In the offense. I guess occasionally maybe

233
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: you can throw it to Gabe Davis, but I don't

234
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: think they actually are going to do that. But anyway,

235
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: it's well as an option. I guess either way, this

236
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: is a Jaguar team in need of a big game

237
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: of a good performance. They are zero to four staring

238
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: at h to five. I mean, statistically, their season is

239
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: it's getting over before it began. They need a win

240
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: in the worst way. I think they show up big

241
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: against Indianapolis this week, and I think Trevor Lawrence is

242
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: one of the few times that you can start him

243
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: and feel some level of confidence that you're gonna get

244
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: some production out of him. It's time to drive your

245
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: line up. Presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry.

246
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to our Week five encores the guys who

247
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: will repeat big performances from last week and Lakwan speaking

248
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence, one of his favorite targets.

249
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm staying in Duvall and I think he keeps the

250
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: ball rolling. Christian Kirk at nineteen Fantasy points him week

251
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: four and he had the fourth highest target share among

252
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: wide receivers in week four, So it's like, we know

253
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: he's a target earner. We know Trevor Lawrence loves targeting

254
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: him in that slot. Getting Evan Ingram back is a

255
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: great addition back to help them, and in the middle

256
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: of the field and in a red zone. This just

257
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: opens up more opportunities for this Jags offense to create

258
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: more schooling opportunities. Keep these drives alive and let Trevor

259
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: Lawrence try to find something consistent and against this matchup

260
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: with this defense man. They've been very generous to wide

261
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: receivers as well to the Colts, and I really feel

262
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: as though they have a lot of distractions to worry about.

263
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: If you get Evan Ingram back, you have Christian Kirk

264
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: work in that middle, and you got the guy like

265
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior on the perimeter stretching the field. This

266
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: just brings a lot of attention to the wide receivers

267
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: and tight ends to the Colts defense that they can't

268
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: just hone in on Christian Kirk. So a lot of

269
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 2: great opportunities are on the table for Christian Kirk and

270
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: Trevor Lars to connect, So I'm definitely thinking he could

271
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: run it back this week.

272
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: At some point, it really is put up a shut

273
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: up for the Jaguars. Yes, there's a lot of talent

274
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: on this offense and they are not performing. At some

275
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: point they got to figure it out, all right, this

276
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: is Florida your guy here, A very popular ad off

277
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: the waiver wire this week.

278
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I added him in a lot of leagues myself,

279
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: don Tavian Wicks, and I know a couple of drops

280
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: last week and stuff, But thirteen targets over two hundred

281
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: air yards, three end zone targets, That's what really catches

282
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: my attention, Like, all right, we know he can be

283
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: a field stretcher, but now you're using him in the

284
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: red zone like this like that. That kind of made

285
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: my ears perk up a little bit. But yeah, Wicks

286
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: has just played well when given the opportunity or in

287
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: three career games with the seventy percent of the snaps

288
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: he's over two hundred yards. So I trust him. And

289
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: more than I trust him, I trust Jordan Love, I

290
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 4: trust Matt Lafleur, and I trust his Packers offense because

291
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: since the midway point of last year, when Jordan Love plays.

292
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 4: This offense has looked elite and it's been one of

293
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: the best in the league. And Christian Watson unfortunately got

294
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: hurt once again. But whenever he missed his time, we

295
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: have seen Wicks step up. And Wicks is actually on

296
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 4: a per route basis, been better than Christian Watson in

297
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: his career, So I think he brings similar upside, probably

298
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: even a little bit of a safer floor. And it's

299
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: not just a one week thing. It's until Christian Watson

300
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: comes back. I think you could get Dontavian Wicks into

301
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: your lineups.

302
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, nine hundred percent agree with that, So keep an

303
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: eye on Christian Watson status. I think Dantavian Wicks don Wick,

304
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: as I've been called ONWI, is a viable, viable option.

305
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: I also want to think it helps. You know, having

306
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Love back obviously elevates the rest of that passing game.

307
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Love multiple touchdown passes in twelve of his last

308
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: thirteen games dating back to last year. That includes the

309
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: playoff games as well, so you know, opportunities for the

310
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers with Love at quarterback, I'm gonna go with

311
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. I don't think It's a twenty five point

312
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: performance for DeAndre Swift, but I think fifteen to eighteen

313
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: points is realistic for him going against Carolina this week. Look,

314
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: the Bears are still figuring some things out offensively. The

315
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: offensive line is still an issue. Fortunately, they're playing a

316
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: run defense that has not been particularly good, So I

317
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a lot more DeAndre Swift trying

318
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: to get downhill. I also do think, though, by the

319
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: way that Roshawn Johnson is in play week, I think

320
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: either of those Bears backs are startable, especially with buys

321
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: with injuries that sort of thing. I think you can

322
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: get both of those guys into your lineup. But you know,

323
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: everybody who missed out on the DeAndre Swift game last week,

324
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: which is pretty much all of us, it was a chance,

325
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: there's a chance to get back in. And yeah, I

326
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: mean like you weren't starting, Like if you were starting

327
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, it's one of two people. It's it's either

328
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: you were desperate or you got locked out of your account.

329
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Like that's it.

330
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 4: I was desperate. I started.

331
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I was desperate, right, So Florida was like, you know,

332
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: one of one of one. Apparently that got the DeAndre

333
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: Swift game last week, So if you missed it, though,

334
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: I think this is another opportunity to get decent production

335
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: out of DeAndre Swift. That was Drive Your Lineup presented

00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: We are gonna talk with Indianapolis Colts Titan Kylon Granson

340
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on what's going on the Colts and

341
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: that offense there. Stick around for more of the NFL

342
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show back on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast,

343
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: and happy to be joined now by Colts tight end

344
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: Kylon grantson Kylin, appreciate you jumping in and Rich want

345
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: to start with you and this team. It's year two

346
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: under Shane Steichen as the head coach. You get a

347
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: little bit more continuity. Things sort of stay the same

348
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: in the offseason. How much has that helped you guys

349
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: with what you do on the offense.

350
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, you know, continuing to build upon what

351
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: we already had going for us last year. I know

352
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: we more than defied the expectations last year. And I

353
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 5: think we've just really developed over the offseason, and I

354
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 5: think we're just clicking a lot more on offense, defense,

355
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 5: special teams. Like we're just moving fast, playing fast, and

356
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 5: we're not thinking as much as we were before. So

357
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 5: I think we're playing really well and we're playing to

358
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 5: a higher standard.

359
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: And we saw earlier this week Joe Flacco joked about

360
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 4: being only eight days older than Anthony Richardson's mother. But

361
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: with two quarterbacks like this, with such unique playing styles,

362
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: can you talk a little bit about what the difference

363
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 4: is like playing with Anthony Richardson and a Joe flaccom.

364
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: You know, Joe obviously been doing this a very long time,

365
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 5: so he's seen it all, been there, done that, So

366
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 5: you know, there's always like a sort of veteran presence

367
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 5: when you have an older guy out there in the

368
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 5: huddle with you, and then they are you know, gifted young.

369
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 5: And he's really put in a lot of work in

370
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: the off season, during the season, training camp, just trying

371
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 5: to tighten up in every single aspect that he can,

372
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: getting on the same page with receivers, running backs, and

373
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 5: just being a leader growing into the position. So yeah,

374
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: I think they've both got unique things, but they both

375
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 5: make us better.

376
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, because I Joe Flacco seems like

377
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: he's hilaroy. We see his quotes, They're hilarious. Is he

378
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: that funny in the locker room, in the huddle? Is

379
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: he that much of a jokester? Or is a dad

380
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: joke guy? I think so.

381
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: I think it's more like he doesn't even like really

382
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: set it up. You know, it's like unexpected. Every time.

383
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 5: It's just like, you know, just out of nowhere, you know,

384
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 5: Sitney meetings, and then you hear Joe say something it's

385
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 5: like the funniest thing you've ever heard.

386
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how he does it.

387
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's like a dad thing, but

388
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 5: he's he's.

389
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: Right now, funniest guy on the offense, Joe Flacco.

390
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Now you know.

391
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 4: He's besides you.

392
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: Of course, I want to ask because you have made

393
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: the decision. There's been a handful of players around the

394
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: league who have started wearing the Guardian cap over the

395
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: course of the game. What made you come to that

396
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: decision to do that?

397
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: You know, just with a lot of the statistics that

398
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: came out about how it helped reduce concussions. I've had

399
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: a couple of concussions in my career, had one last year,

400
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 5: had one in college. But you know, I really like

401
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 5: the fact that, you know, the numbers were trending in

402
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 5: the right way. And also I didn't really feel an

403
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: impact on my play whenever I was wearing in practice

404
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: in the preseason, regular season, and so I was like,

405
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: if there's any out of protection, even if it's like

406
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 5: a marginal, like five percent difference, you know, I'm going

407
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 5: to take that, you know, just for my health and safety.

408
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's really that all that led into that decision.

409
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 4: And American Cancer Society is something that is near and

410
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: dear to my family and so many others affected by

411
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 4: this awful disease. And shout out to you. You joined

412
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: their ambassador group in twenty twenty three, So can you

413
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: kind of speak a little on what your work was

414
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 4: like with the American Cancer Society.

415
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just being a spokesperson. You know, cancer something

416
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 5: that affects everybody. You know, it's family and friends, everybody

417
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: knows someone. I actually had one of my fiance's aunts

418
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 5: passed away yesterday from lung cancers. So but yeah, just

419
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: using my voice using my platform to speak about it,

420
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 5: raise awareness, you know, just trying to do what I

421
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: can to help, you know, raise money, awareness, get people involved,

422
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 5: and just get the word out there and try to

423
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 5: you know, end this man.

424
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,440
