Speaker 1: Now welcome your Friday from mine, un Fi god, Frob Say, Francis,
Speaker 1: frantic statall ladies and gentle in yours and when that
Speaker 1: we want you inside of Studio thirty four. This is
Speaker 1: the BFFs. He is Frank Staffel. I am Greg Susman. Frank.
Speaker 1: What's happening? But Greg, Happy Tuesday to you. Fun game
Speaker 1: last night, fun game ish between the Chargers and the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Of course, if you are not a Chargers fan or
Speaker 1: a Philip Rivers fantasy owner, then it was a pretty
Speaker 1: good night for you. Greg. How did you sleep? I
Speaker 1: slept fantastic. You know what I lied? You slept terribly,
Speaker 1: But I want to say I slept fantastically because of
Speaker 1: the game and in general, Like you don't seem to remember,
Speaker 1: Frank our conversation yes year, what was that? Remind you?
Speaker 1: Please remind me. So I was basically tied going into
Speaker 1: last night's game. Yes, I was playing Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: I had Tyreek Hill and Austin Ekeler, and I gave
Speaker 1: you the news that you didn't want to hear. You said,
Speaker 1: who's gonna win? I said, probably the MA home side.
Speaker 1: But you had a little bit of an unfortunate event
Speaker 1: happened last night. So Tyreek Hill gets hurt immediately, Yes,
Speaker 1: he does immediately, and I'm like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: needed a win, man, I needed a win. So six receptions,
Speaker 1: ninety five yards receiving the first half of Louston Nightler,
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. Like Mos hasn't done anything, I
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I got a good shot at this
Speaker 1: Moms in a really good second half. Frank not really good. Actually,
Speaker 1: at least amount of passing yards he's ever had in
Speaker 1: his life. It was called touchdowns cos Kelsey because I
Speaker 1: was the only one through one touchdown Kelsey. So going
Speaker 1: into his last drive and Austin Ekeler does nothing in
Speaker 1: the second half, right, nothing, absolutely nothing. So going into
Speaker 1: that last drive. I'm up four points at that moment,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my god. Basically he needs a
Speaker 1: touchdown in order to beat me, is what I'm thinking. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: and they just I want to just run the clock out.
Speaker 1: Tick tack tick tick tick tick. Of course, on a
Speaker 1: third down he rushes for sixteen yards and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, oh greggy. So now i am up
Speaker 1: one point nine points and it's third down and he
Speaker 1: gets sacked or stacked frost or whatever. They don't complete it.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm up one point nine points. Let's go
Speaker 1: figuring we'll get the Eckler dump Boss on this last drive.
Speaker 1: So now all I want. I don't care about the
Speaker 1: Eckler dump Boss, be honest, know the game man, Because
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got the ball back wheels, big bang, boom,
Speaker 1: ticktck deck to deck, So then of course you get
Speaker 1: the long heave down the field complete. It's a freaking
Speaker 1: the only past Philip Rivers completed all night. They say
Speaker 1: he was out of balance. He wasn't. The clock stops,
Speaker 1: no take deck, clock just stopped. And I saw betting
Speaker 1: Twitter going nuts over this, and rightfully, so the clock stopped.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have stopped. It shouldn't have So Eckler catches
Speaker 1: the past. Fine, I'm still up. Let's say around four now,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, here's gonna happen. You know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Georges are gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna
Speaker 1: tie the game. Homes go go win the game. This
Speaker 1: is it. This is how I lose. And then Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers throws the interception? Why because he always does? Why
Speaker 1: because he is a loser, always has been a loser
Speaker 1: in fact, little harsh is it? What does he want
Speaker 1: in his career? Nothing, that's the correct answer. Maybe some
Speaker 1: fantasy championships. You know, he is the third most wins
Speaker 1: all time. You never even reach the Super Bowl, Fran
Speaker 1: targeting Danna Marino have more. They reached super bowls, Lipser, Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he does what he always does. They lost, which
Speaker 1: caused me so win. So I went to sleep feeling great,
Speaker 1: and yet I couldn't really sleep very well. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I'm feeling awesome. This is not the turn
Speaker 1: that I thought this story was gonna. Wait A I
Speaker 1: won based on your tone the entire time, Like well,
Speaker 1: Greg lost for sure, Patrick Mahomes career high fifty nine rushing. Alright,
Speaker 1: so congrats Greg Man. So why didn't you Why didn't
Speaker 1: you sleep? Well? I don't know all that. At least
Speaker 1: you won, did I felt great? Maybe you were so
Speaker 1: pumped about the wind you just couldn't sleep. You know what,
Speaker 1: I was falling asleep. It's my own fault. I was
Speaker 1: falling asleep, and then like I thought, it was a
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing, but my dry cleaning. I wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure I had my dry cleanings. Gotta wear sports scoot tomorrow.
Speaker 1: As you know, we have to wear sports. I'm one
Speaker 1: of those we so I have to wear one or
Speaker 1: bring one. I'm gonna wear it all day, but I
Speaker 1: have to bring one. So I was like, hey, Judy,
Speaker 1: the dry cleaning here, and then she's like yeah, and
Speaker 1: then we were I was awake because like I was thinking,
Speaker 1: and I was like that was that? Like I could
Speaker 1: go back to sleep. The story all right, that's the
Speaker 1: end of your story, Greg. I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about this game a little bit from a fantashy perspective.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you a fantasy perspect what happened to
Speaker 1: the Chargers running game? Greg what are we doing. I
Speaker 1: understand that there is an interim OC calling place here.
Speaker 1: Shane Stiken for the Los Angeles Chargers, they threw Ken
Speaker 1: wizzen Hunt out because you know he was the scapegoat.
Speaker 1: He's the reason why the Charges keep losing games. No,
Speaker 1: it's probably Philip Rivers, like you said, but Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: four rushes for sixty nine yards nice, four point nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry, Austin Ekeler five rushes for twenty four
Speaker 1: yards four eight yards per carry. The way to attack
Speaker 1: the Chiefs is on the ground. Why did they get
Speaker 1: away from that in the second half? It just doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Greg, Like, even if you
Speaker 1: fall behind, you're only down by a touchdown late in
Speaker 1: this game. You know, why are you abandoning the run?
Speaker 1: And I understand you know everyone wants to throw the
Speaker 1: ball now right. You know that that makes your offense
Speaker 1: more efficient throwing the ball. That's fine, Maybe not when
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is your quarterback. I mean, he has seven
Speaker 1: interceptions over his last two games, and the chief Secondary
Speaker 1: to their credit, to Steve Spagnolo's credit, Greig has played
Speaker 1: really well this year. So the way to attack his
Speaker 1: defense is run. The ball. I don't understand what happened
Speaker 1: last night again. I mean, this has been fantasy football
Speaker 1: all season long. It's like stranger things, the upside down.
Speaker 1: We have a great matchup here for Melvin Gordon, couldn't
Speaker 1: really take advantage. Austin Nickeler ends up having a great game,
Speaker 1: obviously because of the eight receptions. But I feel like
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon owners felt like they should have had a
Speaker 1: bigger game than this, and they really should have Greg.
Speaker 1: When we come back, well, we'll talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about the Chief's running backs, and I think that will
Speaker 1: kind of lead us into our waiver wire discussion because
Speaker 1: of course, something else happened there. Tom McCoy active bumble,
Speaker 1: Damian Williams hurt. Here we go, Chief's running backs all
Speaker 1: over again. Say with the Chiefs wide receivers will come back.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an update on Tyreek Hill. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what's going on there. B FFS NFL season is

Speaker 1: on Pluto have a ton of a ton of channels.
Speaker 1: We're the best one. But on the Channelschnel five sevent
Speaker 1: Jean Pluto and remember Frank as always you on the edge.
Speaker 1: Last night, I wanted the edge. I was on the grid,
Speaker 1: and the entiree Hill got hurt corn E. According to you,
Speaker 1: Mike Cara Polo, excuse me, oh, the NFL network, Tyree
Speaker 1: Hill is going to have an m R i uh
Speaker 1: in the next day or so. They got back Mexico late.
Speaker 1: They're all sleeping now and we'll figure out how bad
Speaker 1: that hamstring injury is. So basically, um, no actual news
Speaker 1: from Carafellow. Yeah. And according to Inside Injuries, who we
Speaker 1: have on the program every Thursday, the good people over
Speaker 1: at Inside Injuries had this to say regarding Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: that he left last night with the hamstring strain and
Speaker 1: wasn't able to return. We knew that he suffered a
Speaker 1: groin strain last season and a hamstring strain back in tween,
Speaker 1: so he does have a history of lower body soft
Speaker 1: tissue injuries, so keep that in mind. You know, this
Speaker 1: might not be something that he just returns from after
Speaker 1: the bye. They do have a bye heading into week
Speaker 1: twelve right now. And after he left, I mean, the
Speaker 1: targets were basically all spread out, Greg. It was ten
Speaker 1: targets to Travis Kelsey, who led the team six targets
Speaker 1: to Lashaw McCoy who also kind of got banged up,
Speaker 1: slash fumbled and I think they just kind of benched
Speaker 1: him late in this game. And then Sammy Watkins three targets, McCole,
Speaker 1: Hardman four targets, Darryl Williams three targets. We've seen this
Speaker 1: before earlier on in the season, that when Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: was out, when Sammy Watkins was out, it was really
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, and then they would just spread the ball
Speaker 1: around to a bunch of different receivers. And if Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill were him his time, I have a feeling that
Speaker 1: would be the case again, Greg, it would be a
Speaker 1: few targets here for Hardman, a few targets here from
Speaker 1: Robinson to Marcus Robinson, Iron Pringle probably in the mix.
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins stinks. I'm done with Sammy Watkins, man. I
Speaker 1: mean this guy since Week one, the Fantasy points that
Speaker 1: he has amassed over that span does not equal the
Speaker 1: amount of Fantasy points he had in Week one. How
Speaker 1: ridiculous is that. I understand it was a big Week one,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't even a massed. Everything that he's done
Speaker 1: in that span since has not been higher than what
Speaker 1: he did in week one. So look at the targets
Speaker 1: are just not there for him right now. They spread
Speaker 1: the ball around in this offense. If you want to
Speaker 1: take a shot on somebody, I would take that shot
Speaker 1: on Micole Hardman because he has that game breaking ability
Speaker 1: where he could take one catch to the house and
Speaker 1: that basically makes his entire fantasy. So I think to
Speaker 1: Marcus Robinson is the guy that's going to be out
Speaker 1: on the field of most we sow in Syree Hill
Speaker 1: was out. Robinson played almost every snap for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Harmon's obviously the big play threat. If you want the
Speaker 1: boom er bust guy, it's Hardman. Obviously they'll give him
Speaker 1: few opportunities per game. If you want the guy that's
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field more, which I understand that too,
Speaker 1: it's Robin See. I don't really know where Pringle fits
Speaker 1: in um and that's the wide receivers. When comes to
Speaker 1: the running backs, as you mentioned, going to break Lashawn
Speaker 1: McCoy was active last night, and Andy Reid was pretty
Speaker 1: steadfast and saying, hey, we want to give his legs
Speaker 1: a break, whether it's sure or not. He had both
Speaker 1: a mental and physical break last week. McCoy is back
Speaker 1: on the field. Damian Williams left this one early with it.
Speaker 1: It seemed to be a rib injury. McCoy scores touchdown.
Speaker 1: Looks awesome on that touchdown. Around looked pretty good overall.
Speaker 1: Gets the Chargers last night before he left the game
Speaker 1: with a possible concussion. Next man up was Darryl Williams.
Speaker 1: Looks fine. The Chiefs, as we said with Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: have a bye coming up this week, which makes everything
Speaker 1: a bit convoluted for us when the running game and
Speaker 1: with the receiving game with Tyree Hill. I don't I
Speaker 1: hope that the one week off will allow McCoy if
Speaker 1: he isn't ancouture protocols you get out of it. I
Speaker 1: don't know how serious the rib injury is. We have
Speaker 1: seen players play through it wearing a flapjacket. So the
Speaker 1: Chiefs running game as it has been for much of
Speaker 1: the season, Frank is a mess. Yeah, and it will
Speaker 1: continue to be a mess. I don't really see you
Speaker 1: why this would change, you know, Damian Williams has the
Speaker 1: week off to get his body right. We'll see if
Speaker 1: that's the case. Same thing with Leshawn McCoy. They basically
Speaker 1: all split snaps. Last night, Darry Williams led this team
Speaker 1: with twenty nine snaps. He led the team with eleven
Speaker 1: carries as well, he had three targets. But they're mixing
Speaker 1: in all three of these guys. It's just it's a headache.
Speaker 1: You know, you want a part of this Chiefs backfield
Speaker 1: because the offense is as great as it is obviously
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, but you know, it's a three headed
Speaker 1: committee and on any given week, you don't really know
Speaker 1: who's going to lead this team in touches. The past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks it was Damian Williams, and we finally
Speaker 1: thought that, you know, we were getting that Damian Williams
Speaker 1: that we drafted back in you know, July and August.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy that was going in the first
Speaker 1: three rounds where he was playing over seventy of the
Speaker 1: snaps and he was seeing close to twenty touches per game.
Speaker 1: Like that would be a huge commodity for fantasy football
Speaker 1: because again, uh, the offense that is generated in Kansas City,
Speaker 1: but ultimately it's going to continue to be a mess.
Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy fifty percent owned in Yahoo Leagues, dar of
Speaker 1: Williams just five percent owned, So if you do want
Speaker 1: to cover yourself, you know, darry Williams is available in
Speaker 1: a lot of leads, Greg, but there's a few other
Speaker 1: running backs that we're gonna talk about today that I
Speaker 1: think we'd rather own than Darryl Williams. Well, it's interesting because,
Speaker 1: as we said, it's a mess in Kansas City, right,
Speaker 1: it's a bit dirty, it's it's hard to figure out.
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel about Indianapolis this Thursday.
Speaker 1: They play on the short week. We know for a
Speaker 1: fact that Marlon Mack has broken his hand. I don't
Speaker 1: imagine he plays on Thursday. Will the practice report come
Speaker 1: up a little bit? But Jordan Wilkinson spent on an
Speaker 1: ankle injury, he sees his playing time available. Was, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'll play. You know how good Jonathan Williams
Speaker 1: look talks about it yesterday on the show. He's gonna play.
Speaker 1: You know. When it comes to the passing down back,
Speaker 1: well that's nahem hines. He's going to play. As effective
Speaker 1: as the running game wasn't always is with Indianapolis. You
Speaker 1: do wonder what happens in the case of a shootout
Speaker 1: the game against Jacksonville was a blowout. They lean on
Speaker 1: the running game as they want to do this Thursday
Speaker 1: against Houston. I don't expect it to be as much
Speaker 1: of a boy. It could be a back and forth game,
Speaker 1: which could mean more time for Nahem Hines. All of
Speaker 1: these guys, Frank are out on the waiver wire right now.
Speaker 1: What do we do as of now? I'm still looking
Speaker 1: at Jonathan Williams. I think he proved himself last week
Speaker 1: and proved himself to the coaching staff that they can
Speaker 1: actually lean on him if they need to. Now, Jordan
Speaker 1: Wilkins does throw aid wrench and things. He didn't play
Speaker 1: this past week because of an ankle injury. He's trying
Speaker 1: to get out there for Thursday night football. They're on
Speaker 1: the short week heading into Week twelve. But Jonathan Williams
Speaker 1: led this team with forty percent of the snaps. He
Speaker 1: had thirteen carries, he had one reception on only one target,
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty seven total yards, so he basically
Speaker 1: picked up right where Marlon Mack left off. And he
Speaker 1: also had four red zone carries, so they they proved
Speaker 1: that they trust Jonathan Williams in that area of the
Speaker 1: field as well. I do agree that, you know, if
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins, will Wilkins is active for this game, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean that really, really, you know, messes things up
Speaker 1: here from from the Colts running back perspective, because you know,
Speaker 1: we could see both of those guys, Jonathan Williams and
Speaker 1: Wilkins mixed in on early downs and heading into this game.
Speaker 1: The way to attack the Texans defense is actually with
Speaker 1: pass catching running backs. We just saw mark Ingram with
Speaker 1: two receiving touchdowns last week, and Houston is allowing seven
Speaker 1: point six receptions per game to opposing running backs. That
Speaker 1: is the most in the NFL. So I think all
Speaker 1: three of these guys are in play. If I had
Speaker 1: to rank them, I would still put it Jonathan Williams first,
Speaker 1: put nihem Heinz second, and I would put it Jordan
Speaker 1: Wilkins third, just because we don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen with Jordan will opportunities this year. I know last
Speaker 1: year he didn't like this year, he's he's looked pretty good,
Speaker 1: but he never looked as good as Jonathan Williams did
Speaker 1: last week. No hundred and forty seven total yards. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a really good game against a you know a
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense that has struggled against the run at times
Speaker 1: this year. But yeah, this is a messy situation. Look,
Speaker 1: if we're talking about running backs, you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: get it to bow Scarborough obviously because he's awesome and
Speaker 1: he also has an awesome name. But I think you know,
Speaker 1: if you need a running back, I think both Scarboro
Speaker 1: is probably the number one waiver wire add this week.
Speaker 1: But if we're just talking about the Colts, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: rank it Williams, Hines and Jordan Wilkins for me, but
Speaker 1: especially if you're in PPR leagues, you know you might
Speaker 1: even want to put Niheam Hines at the top of
Speaker 1: that list because that is the way to attack this Texans.
Speaker 1: Like I said in a game that I expect to
Speaker 1: me be a bit more back and forth. I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of Niheme Hines out there.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, probably um on the order. For me,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Williams proved too much. But the reason I don't
Speaker 1: have as my top back off the board this week,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with boscarbro we were talking about
Speaker 1: after the break, because it doesn't seem like it's it's
Speaker 1: bow right, Like, what was the guy at fourteen carries?
Speaker 1: We've never been burned by Lions running backs before at
Speaker 1: fourteen carries Jeff Justrisco had like eight himself, and after
Speaker 1: that leaves JD because he had three. Like that's a
Speaker 1: pretty large discrepancy here with the Colts. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of names that have had success in the past. As
Speaker 1: much as we like we wanted to rely on Ti
Speaker 1: Johnson and j dmcisic that really had success in the
Speaker 1: past running the football. We have seen the Colts um
Speaker 1: utilize a committee before, and at least there's some information
Speaker 1: there before we hit the break rank. How would you
Speaker 1: spending on these guys Colts guys, I'm not gonna spend
Speaker 1: a ton because I do think that Marlon Max probably
Speaker 1: gonna be back sooner rather than later. I'm probably looking
Speaker 1: at under ten percent of my fab budget for all
Speaker 1: of these guys. But if you still have money left,
Speaker 1: you might as well spend it. You were coming up
Speaker 1: on the fantasy football playoffs, now great? If not now,
Speaker 1: when we take a break here, we'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll get to know boo ast. NFL season is now
Speaker 1: upon us, and you can be going the eighth person

Speaker 1: about the cold situation. You strot a great tweets before
Speaker 1: we want to the Lions. I think you should live
Speaker 1: everybody now. Yeah. So I saw a conversation between a
Speaker 1: fantasy enthusiast and a cold to beat writer and they asked,
Speaker 1: you know, how they think the breakdown of this Colts
Speaker 1: backfield would look on Thursday night if Jordan Wilkins is active,
Speaker 1: and said person had this to say, fifty percent of
Speaker 1: the workload for Jordan Wilkins, twenty five percent for Jonathan
Speaker 1: Williams for nine Hinds. Of course that is just an
Speaker 1: educated guess. Nobody knows for sure, but I my my
Speaker 1: thinking is, look, Jordan Wilkins has been around the team
Speaker 1: the most all season long. He was inactive last week,
Speaker 1: But if he's good to go on Thursday night football,
Speaker 1: that they might lean on him a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knows for sure, but for what
Speaker 1: it's worth, that's what this Colt speed writer had to say.
Speaker 1: So a k A disaster in Indianapolis. Yeah, and going
Speaker 1: up against the Houston Texans who for most of the season,
Speaker 1: we're really good against the run, and then they ran
Speaker 1: into the Baltimore Ravens who rush for six yards. Really
Speaker 1: good at running, Yes they are. Let me move on
Speaker 1: to a team that hasn't really been really good at running,
Speaker 1: but now they believe it's the Detroit Lions. End bow Scarborough.
Speaker 1: He is my number one out of the waiver wire
Speaker 1: this week, and he's the guy that I think as
Speaker 1: you look down your weird as you look down the
Speaker 1: other teams in your league and how much money they have,
Speaker 1: like I probably want to go out there and spend
Speaker 1: it on and I get I get it. Over the
Speaker 1: last three weeks, we've done this a lot and it
Speaker 1: has yet to work out Ryan Hill last week, by Johnson,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before that, Jayleen Samuel's. It hasn't
Speaker 1: worked out yet, Frank, for those who have emptied the
Speaker 1: bag on the next best thing? Will that change with
Speaker 1: both Scarbro to an extent because he isn't like these
Speaker 1: other running backs that they've tried to use so far,
Speaker 1: in Ti Johnson and j. D. McKissick. Those are more
Speaker 1: of pass catching running backs, third down backs, satellite backs,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call them, they are not early
Speaker 1: down running backs that they can rely on between the tackles,
Speaker 1: and I think both scarbro is somebody that can actually
Speaker 1: do that, Greg, and he proved that this week fourteen
Speaker 1: carries for fifty five yards and a touchdown. He played
Speaker 1: forty nine percent of the snaps as well, that led
Speaker 1: all Lions running backs. This is a big man. This
Speaker 1: is a mammoth human being six ft one two and
Speaker 1: thirty five pounds, and he has susceptive speed. Greg. He
Speaker 1: actually reminds me a lot of Derrick Henry. Right, He's
Speaker 1: not Derrick Henry. Not a lot of people are. Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry's built like a linebacker, yet he moves like a
Speaker 1: running back. He has that breakaway ability. But according to
Speaker 1: player Profile or bow, Scarborough coming out of Alabama ranked
Speaker 1: ninety one percentile in speed score, percentile in birth score.
Speaker 1: So he is a bigger running back. He's gonna get
Speaker 1: early down work. He's not gonna catch any passes. He
Speaker 1: is going to be used inside of the red zone.
Speaker 1: He had you know, he had four red two red
Speaker 1: zone carries this past week that led all Lions running backs.
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown from inside the five yard line
Speaker 1: as well. So I think if you need a running
Speaker 1: back going up against the Washington Redskins this week, Greg,
Speaker 1: they have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to opposing
Speaker 1: running backs this year. He's got Chicago next week. We
Speaker 1: talked about this every single week. The Chicago defense has
Speaker 1: not been the same without a Cheam Hicks on that
Speaker 1: defensive line there nose tackle. I mean, he was pivotal
Speaker 1: in stopping the run for that team. Now teams have
Speaker 1: been able to run on them. They've been able to
Speaker 1: score rushing touchdowns over the past month or so since
Speaker 1: he's been out. You know, the way to attack them
Speaker 1: is now on the ground. You don't want to attack
Speaker 1: their secondary. They have a strong secondary. So the next
Speaker 1: two matchups are very good for Bow Scarborough. After that,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. It's still a volatile situation.
Speaker 1: I understand that, but Greg, when it comes to Scarborough,
Speaker 1: all you've got to do is Bow leave, Let's go
Speaker 1: scarborro I agree, man, I think this is like I said,
Speaker 1: you look at the waiver what you look at every
Speaker 1: other team in your league in the FAB and the
Speaker 1: number one waiver claim you may have and sweet twelve
Speaker 1: and at this point, as you pushed me the playoffs,
Speaker 1: there's nothing else to wait for. I mean, this is it, right,
Speaker 1: Like there's you can't bank on anything else, You can't
Speaker 1: potentially hope. You just believe that's all you've got to do.
Speaker 1: The other running masks worth picking up. This week, I
Speaker 1: will throw a few other names out there. These are
Speaker 1: more deeper league ads and just a reminder, please pick
Speaker 1: up your handcuffs. This doesn't make sense to me. Greg
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook owning one of leagues as he should be,
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison owning percent of leagues. There are seventy one
Speaker 1: percent of you Dalvin Cook owners who are not playing
Speaker 1: fantasy football the right way. And you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to waste a roster spot on a handcuff when
Speaker 1: it's taking up you know, a wide receiver that I
Speaker 1: can pick up like Taylor Gabriel that it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: That does not matter. Every single year there are one
Speaker 1: or two handcuffs that win people fantasy football championships. Look
Speaker 1: at last year. C J. Anderson the bowling ball c J. Anderson,
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley banged up late in the year. He's got
Speaker 1: everything going on with his knee, they pick up C. J.
Speaker 1: Anderson off the scrap heap. The next thing you know,
Speaker 1: he's getting twenty carries a week and he is winning
Speaker 1: people fantasy football championships. This happens every single year. If
Speaker 1: you own Dalvin Cook, make sure you go out there
Speaker 1: and get Alexander Madison. Same thing for Ezekiel Elliott and
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Same thing with Leonard Fournette, Rich Wuell Armstead,
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, Rashad Penny, whatever example. You need to own
Speaker 1: your running back right now, that now is the time
Speaker 1: to do it, and I will throw the name out there, Greg.
Speaker 1: Just because Jordan Howard is still dealing with the shoulder injury,
Speaker 1: the upcoming schedule for the Philadelphia Eagles running backs is
Speaker 1: a very good one. No, Miles Sanders is not out
Speaker 1: there in your leagues, but I'm pretty sure that J. G. I.
Speaker 1: E is. So this is a end of your bench flyer. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would rather own my handcuff over j J I. E.
Speaker 1: But the schedule is very good, and if anything were
Speaker 1: to happen to Jordan Howard further, I think J J.
Speaker 1: I Would actually have a role with the team. Greg.
Speaker 1: We'll see about that. Are there any handcuffs. I think
Speaker 1: Madison is one of them that if they're out there
Speaker 1: and you don't own the starter, that you're going to
Speaker 1: pick up Because you mentioned a lot of handcuffs there, right.
Speaker 1: We talked about Goldman, Madison and Penny and Armstead. Are
Speaker 1: there any of these guys that well that you would
Speaker 1: pick up right now even if you don't own the starter. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: assuming I don't need like a bow Scarborough or I
Speaker 1: don't need a running back this week, because then you know,
Speaker 1: you look at Scarborough or the Lion's running backs, whatever
Speaker 1: it might be. But yeah, I think Tony Pollard. The
Speaker 1: main three to me are Alexander Madison, Tony Pollard, and
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny. Because those teams are going to run the football.
Speaker 1: They're all part of really good offenses as well, and
Speaker 1: I think that if something were to happen to the
Speaker 1: running backs ahead of them, those guys are directly in
Speaker 1: line for fifteen plus carries greg So I think that
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense that for me, those
Speaker 1: are probably the top three right now. I was gonna
Speaker 1: add Kareem Hunt to that, but he's actually seventy seven
Speaker 1: percent at this point, but he's he's not just a handcuff.
Speaker 1: I mean he has standalone value. There is a legit
Speaker 1: flex in PPR league very much. So let's move on
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers here this week, Frank, And there's
Speaker 1: just not much here quick little story. You don't I
Speaker 1: don't know how much time I want to do anyway.
Speaker 1: So we sat on the couch, uh baring Judy's line
Speaker 1: up for this week, and I like you for last
Speaker 1: week this past week? Do you want to start Randall Cob?
Speaker 1: You want to start, Philip? I want to go to
Speaker 1: Randall com all right? You know you do you? She
Speaker 1: could have looked at my rankings and got the answer.
Speaker 1: Greg didn't because you've let her down before. I'm sorry. Sorry, Judy,
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb let her to defeat the undefeated first placed
Speaker 1: team this week. Also, she was really stoked by herself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb was amazing this past week and over the
Speaker 1: past three weeks. He's playing more seventy per cent of
Speaker 1: the snaps at least seven targets in each of the
Speaker 1: past three games during that spanning as eighteen percent of
Speaker 1: the target chair for the Dallas Cowboys. Also, during that
Speaker 1: span has fifty three point six PPR points. How about this,
Speaker 1: All three of the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers between a
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Randall Cobb over the past
Speaker 1: three weeks are between fifty three and fifty six PPR points,
Speaker 1: So they are dividing the share equally there. And we've
Speaker 1: said this over and over the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: Slot receivers are really really valuable for fantasy football because
Speaker 1: that is a position on the field that is really
Speaker 1: tough to defend. And you know, based on the way
Speaker 1: that this Cowboys offense is playing, they've got a tougher
Speaker 1: matchup this week against the New England Patriots. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're automatically going to get Randall
Speaker 1: Cobb in your lineup, but they're still one more teams
Speaker 1: on a buy four very good teams, right the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Chargers as well. So we need to
Speaker 1: replace these wide receivers. I think that Randall cop is
Speaker 1: a fair bi week replacement this week, and then a
Speaker 1: couple of other ones really stand out. James Washington is
Speaker 1: the one for me, because the Sailers don't have anybody left.
Speaker 1: Jud Smith Schuster's batting a knee and dream I would
Speaker 1: be Juju or Deontae Johnson plays this because James Washingtons
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in a vulnerable matchup against Cincinnati. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to attack the Cincinnati Bengals on the ground
Speaker 1: with their running backs, and rightfully so. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: you know, their run defense is very bad. But according
Speaker 1: to d v o A at Football Outsiders, you know,
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals are thirty second, that is dead last
Speaker 1: in the NFL in past defense. D v o A.
Speaker 1: I think you just you don't see as many teams
Speaker 1: attack the Bengals through the air because it's so easy
Speaker 1: to run on them. So, I mean, why would you
Speaker 1: even risk throwing the ball when you can just run
Speaker 1: all over them? And that might be the case this
Speaker 1: week with whoever the running back is. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If James Conner is gonna play, might as well bring
Speaker 1: up you know Samuels while we're at it. You're too, Greg,
Speaker 1: I think the Jalen Samuels has owned in a lot
Speaker 1: of leagues, but if he is available in your league,
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if James Conner also plays
Speaker 1: in this game after reinjured reaggravating that that shoulder injury.
Speaker 1: So look at Jaylen Samuel's, look at James Washington. It's
Speaker 1: a really good matching for both of those guys going
Speaker 1: up against the Bengals. Absolutely other wide receivers that we've
Speaker 1: talked about and continue to talk about in the same game,
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Bears, Darius Lean, Taylor Gabriel too,
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you don't really want to start, but good.
Speaker 1: I'll tell the people about Taylor Gabriel and then I'll
Speaker 1: let you handle Darius Street. And as the Giant fan here, Greg,
Speaker 1: because I'm interested in your take based on Sterling Shephard
Speaker 1: returning to the practice, how things are going to break
Speaker 1: down here for the New York Giants. But Taylor Gabriel
Speaker 1: just had fourteen targets on Sunday Ight football against the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. Mitchell Trobinsky is banged up with a
Speaker 1: hit pointer injury, and I'm not sure that that's a
Speaker 1: bad thing when it comes to Taylor Gabriel in this offense,
Speaker 1: because Kase Daniel might actually be better than Mitchell Trabisky
Speaker 1: at this point. But over the past month, Greg, the
Speaker 1: last four games, Gabriel leads the team tent of the
Speaker 1: target share, leads them in receptions with eighteen, and also
Speaker 1: leads them in receiving yards with two and eighteen. So
Speaker 1: the h and the Giants are allowing the fourth most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing wide receiver. So again, if you're
Speaker 1: desperate for a wide receiver, I think Gabriel makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. How do you think things play out
Speaker 1: with Darius Layton in the New York Giants? Do you
Speaker 1: expect Sterling Shepherd back this week? I do? I mean
Speaker 1: he is. He is on the last stage of the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. If he can get through this, he will
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. We thought he was through it before
Speaker 1: he wasn't. There's a very good chance he plays. He
Speaker 1: practiced in full yesterday, so that's the case. Darius Laton
Speaker 1: clearly takes a back Seat's the third wide receiver in
Speaker 1: this Giants offense against a bare secondary? Is he? Though?
Speaker 1: I mean he has a good rapport with Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: Mountless Sterling Shepherd on the field. That's alright, So you're out,
Speaker 1: You're out on slating alright. So if Sterling Shepherd plays
Speaker 1: Darius Layton, we'll tell you the defenses you need to
Speaker 1: pick up for the playoffs and streaming quarterbacks. Next NFL
Speaker 1: season is an altana, so you can be on the
Speaker 1: eighth person away in one million dollars in a FanDuel

Speaker 1: left to go in the program today. We have as
Speaker 1: Pluto TV five seventeen. We appreciate you joining us on
Speaker 1: our debut here in Pluto, which is awesome. All right, Rank,
Speaker 1: we wanted to do any more wide receivers. You wanted
Speaker 1: to mention before we kind of broke it down. I
Speaker 1: did want to mention Hunter renfro real quick graig going
Speaker 1: up against the Jets. You know, he's been a solid
Speaker 1: PPR option. He's a good bye re replacement as well
Speaker 1: over the past four weeks for the Raiders. He leads
Speaker 1: the team with eighteen percent of their targets share. Also
Speaker 1: leads a team in receptions with nineteen and receiving yards
Speaker 1: with two fifty. The Jets allowed the second most fantasy
Speaker 1: points to opposing wide receivers so far to the season,
Speaker 1: and the other one or of a deeper league. Add
Speaker 1: greg Tim Patrick. We talked about him a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 1: His first game back in the lineup for the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 1: played the second most snaps among their wide receivers. He
Speaker 1: ran the second most routes as well at the position,
Speaker 1: finished with four catches for seventy seven yards. He had
Speaker 1: a high average depth of target in this game. He
Speaker 1: saw a ton of air yards as well. He accounted
Speaker 1: for twenty percent of the target share. Tough matchup this
Speaker 1: week going up against the Buffalo Bills, but again, if
Speaker 1: you're playing those deeper leagues, you want someone who's gonna
Speaker 1: get targets and be targeted down the field. I think
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick's an interesting name. Greig alright, sim Patrick's certainly deeply,
Speaker 1: as we said yesterday, came off the I R was
Speaker 1: targeted incessantly, right, Brandon Allen and this the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: offense alright, let me move on to the tight end position. Frank,
Speaker 1: and we mentioned Ryan Griffin yesterday, certainly someone you could
Speaker 1: pick up. He's filling this Chris Herndon role and he's
Speaker 1: doing very, very admirably. I wrote up Ben Watson as
Speaker 1: somebody because the New England Patriots offense doesn't have enough.
Speaker 1: Neither of those two tight ends are your top tight
Speaker 1: end target this week? Because so that's who I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister. I think a lot of people dropped him
Speaker 1: because of the bye week, or at least based on
Speaker 1: his Yahoo ownership percentage, just was never picked up because
Speaker 1: he should be owned in more than thirty four percent
Speaker 1: of leads. You look at what he's done over the
Speaker 1: past two weeks. He has three touchdowns scored over the
Speaker 1: seahawks last two games. He has at least six targets
Speaker 1: in three of the last four games. He's starting to
Speaker 1: take over that role that Will Dislely had as the
Speaker 1: pass catching tight end. You know, from weeks seven through
Speaker 1: ten for the Seahawks, he's playing of this next eighteen
Speaker 1: percent of their target share. He has seven red zone
Speaker 1: targets during that span, so he's being targeted in you know,
Speaker 1: the part of the field that we want tight ends
Speaker 1: targeted because when we stream a tight end, we're trying
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. That's what Jacob Hollister has been doing.
Speaker 1: Greg he should be owned in more than thirty four
Speaker 1: percent of leaks. And then on the other side of
Speaker 1: that game, Dallas Goddard. You know, the Philadelphia Eagles don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of pass catchers. Right now, they're saying
Speaker 1: Alston Jeffrey should be able to return this week. I'll
Speaker 1: believe it when I see it. But Deshan Jackson obviously
Speaker 1: has landed on I R and the tight ends have
Speaker 1: had the strap step up here. It's zach Ertz. It's
Speaker 1: Dallas got got It ran a season high forty routes
Speaker 1: this past week in Week eleven against the Newland Patriots.
Speaker 1: The targets have been up for him and another one
Speaker 1: was being targeted in the red zone. And he's scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Greag he has a touchdown in three of his last
Speaker 1: four games. So for me, like Hollister, I like Gottart,
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, I like Ryan Griffin as well.
Speaker 1: I think all those guys, certainly on the streaming radar.
Speaker 1: I've been somebody that has started Jack Doyle the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He was not targeted this past Sunday.
Speaker 1: Donuts all across the board. Greg, We'll go back to
Speaker 1: the waiver wire as I pick out one of these
Speaker 1: four guys. Uh like no a fan at No A
Speaker 1: fan at Buffalo. I don't so for me. I think
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin is probably my favorite one against Oakland. I
Speaker 1: told you that. After that, I'll put Jacob Hollister in there.
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard and Dallas Gotti in Seattle is a good
Speaker 1: one too. Um So we'll say, um leave one of
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Will stream quarterbacks this week on the fan
Speaker 1: to will hurry up. Yesterday you're talking about how Sam
Speaker 1: Donald going back to the Jets, Well, how's that one
Speaker 1: of the hottest teams in football right now? How about
Speaker 1: that j E t s two game winning streak will
Speaker 1: likely come to a halt in Week twelve against the
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, But regardless, it's still a good matchup for
Speaker 1: Sam Donald coming off the first four touchdown game of
Speaker 1: his career, back to back games where he's played pretty well.
Speaker 1: It should be three games in a row. If you
Speaker 1: remember that game against Miami he threw a touchdown to
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin. It got overturned the very next play Sam
Speaker 1: Donald threw an interception, so that would have been three
Speaker 1: straight games with at least two total touchdown scored for Donald,
Speaker 1: and Oakland has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to
Speaker 1: quarterbacks so far this season. They've allowed twenty four touchdown
Speaker 1: passes through the air. That is the third most in
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I do like Sam Donald, just check
Speaker 1: to see if he's available. I like Baker Mayfield as well,
Speaker 1: going up against the Miami Dolphins back to back games
Speaker 1: with multiple touchdown passes for Baker, and Miami just allowed
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to throw for three touchdowns, rush for an
Speaker 1: additional touchdown, and finish the QB one. Overall, this Dolphins defense, obviously,
Speaker 1: as you know you've been watching football this season long,
Speaker 1: not a good one. Just the last name to mention,
Speaker 1: Greg I think Jacoby Brisset going up against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: No Marlon Mack, they might lean to on the past
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and the last time he faced him,
Speaker 1: he threw for over three hundred yards and four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: So I think Jacoby Brissette makes a lot of sense
Speaker 1: as well. For me, Baker, Sam Donald, Jacoby Brissett. That's
Speaker 1: how I would rank these streaming quarterbacks this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. I'm I'm cool with that. Judy,
Speaker 1: you go back to her team. She got Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: last week because she couldn't deal with it anymore. So
Speaker 1: she looks she started Nick Foles last week? Right? Can
Speaker 1: I interest you in a little Ryan Tannehill as well?
Speaker 1: I have an eye on the fantasy playoffs here, so
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to do the Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: when it comes to Ryan Tannehill. How about this? Greg
Speaker 1: we four fourteen through sixteen faces the Raiders, the Texans,
Speaker 1: and the Saints. Don't love the Saints matchup, but in
Speaker 1: weeks fourteen and fifteen, the Raiders and Texans. We just
Speaker 1: spoke about Donald and Jacoby Brissett as streamers because they
Speaker 1: were going up against the Raiders and Texans. Ryan tad
Speaker 1: Hill has been very concerton as the starter of the
Speaker 1: Titans so far, at least from a fantasy perspective, is
Speaker 1: at least nineteen fantasy points in all four games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I just think the odds are you'll probably
Speaker 1: find something better. Well, I'll throw this at you to
Speaker 1: be fair. Sure you're Josh Allen owner. You've started him.
Speaker 1: He's been great, but his schedule is brutal. Right, his
Speaker 1: schedule is terrible coming up? Would you Ryan start? Rather
Speaker 1: start Ryan Tannehill or go with Josh Allen. Well, let's
Speaker 1: pull up those matchups so we see specifically what we're
Speaker 1: looking at here. So for Josh Allen in weeks fourteen, fifteen,
Speaker 1: and sixteen, oh my goodness, brutal. I mean from weeks
Speaker 1: twelve through sixteen. I told you it's brutal. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: coming up twelve through sixteen, Denver at Dallas, Verse Baltimore
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh at New England. Greg's Greg in week fourteen
Speaker 1: and fifteen, I will start Ryan Tannehill over Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: There you go. Would you start Jeff DRIs School. I
Speaker 1: don't think I could go that far. Jeff DRIs School
Speaker 1: is playing well. If he's out there in your two
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues or super flex leagues, he probably has already owned.
Speaker 1: But I just throw the name out there. He's played
Speaker 1: well over the past two weeks. Billion for Stafford Washington,
Speaker 1: just a out Sam Donalds to throw for four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So Friskill likely employ as a deeper stream this week.
Speaker 1: Let's let's call him that. Let me move on to
Speaker 1: the streaming defenses for this week, Frank, and then I
Speaker 1: want to go even going to take a step further. Uh.
Speaker 1: This week we talked about yesterday and rightfully so, the
Speaker 1: Atlanta defense should be streamed and picked up. They've been
Speaker 1: fantastic coming out of the bye and they face the
Speaker 1: interception machine known as Jamis Winston. It's a no brainer
Speaker 1: to pick up the Atlanta defense and stream them this week.
Speaker 1: I think it's an easy one. I think Cleveland against
Speaker 1: Miami's an easy one. Um and then destroy versus Washington
Speaker 1: not as easy, but Haskins things, so sure. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: if you have fab left and you want to be
Speaker 1: aggressive on defenses from here on out, I mean, Atlanta
Speaker 1: is the defense that's target Greg. You mentioned the interception machine,
Speaker 1: and the first thing that popped into my head was
Speaker 1: just like a jug machine throwing balls at defenders. That's
Speaker 1: basically what Jamis Winston is. At this point. Atlanta decimated
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen last week, sacked him four or five times,
Speaker 1: had four interceptions as well. So whatever they did in
Speaker 1: the bye week is work. This Atlanta Falcons defense is
Speaker 1: playing really well. Cleveland might already be owned in your league,
Speaker 1: but obviously good match up against Miami and Dwayne Haskins. Man,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look like he's ready to be a
Speaker 1: starting quarterback at the NFL level. He's really learning on
Speaker 1: the job. He's taking a lot of sacks, He's throwing
Speaker 1: a few interceptions per game. The Detroit Lions defense is
Speaker 1: not a good one. In fact, they're actually one of
Speaker 1: only three defenses allowing over four hundred totally yards per
Speaker 1: game this season. But I'm not sure Dwayne Haskins is
Speaker 1: going to be able to take advantage. So I think
Speaker 1: the Lions make sense of the stream this week as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, so that's this week, but people are looking
Speaker 1: toward the playoffs as well. We talked a little bit
Speaker 1: earlier on picking up your handcuff and being smart and
Speaker 1: not getting caught. Well, the same here goes for defense, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you might have a defense for this week that's that's
Speaker 1: really good. But my devents that I've been using them
Speaker 1: for months now, Buffalo Bills and then their schedules been cake, right,
Speaker 1: you just read the schedule. When it comes to Josh
Speaker 1: Allen so Denver. This week, I'll continue to use Buffalo.
Speaker 1: They've they've been fine. I don't I don't mind that matchup,
Speaker 1: and you're in Dallas in Baltimore, I don't mind them
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh and New England games, and those are
Speaker 1: those are the money weeks, right, so those are the
Speaker 1: fantasy semifinals and the fantasy Yeah. I mean, look, if
Speaker 1: you can afford to hold on to them, obviously, I
Speaker 1: don't want to use them against Baltimore because you know,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's just tearing everybody up right now. And same
Speaker 1: thing with Dallas. Like I think Dallas's offense is very good.
Speaker 1: But when we get to week fifteen against Mason Rudolph, Wow,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not worried about Mason Rudolph. And then the
Speaker 1: Patriots offense is not a good one, Greg. So you
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady, uh, you could get after him right now.
Speaker 1: He's you know, rowing the ball a tons So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of dropbacks there. They can't run the ball effectively.
Speaker 1: So in weeks fifteen and sixteen, I'll still feel pretty
Speaker 1: good at about the Bill's defense. Okay, what the other
Speaker 1: defenses that are out there that you'll if you have
Speaker 1: the room, you'll pick them up and use over the playoffs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I know that there are a few high stakes
Speaker 1: leagues that don't allow you to make pickups once you
Speaker 1: get into the fantasy playoffs. So you have to look
Speaker 1: ahead now, So you have to look at weeks you know, fourteen, fifteen,
Speaker 1: and sixteen, and two teams that stand out to me, Greg.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no team that's a consensus that has
Speaker 1: three really good matchups in a row. But I'll give
Speaker 1: you the Lions who we like this week, so you
Speaker 1: could just hold onto them if you want. In week fifteen,
Speaker 1: they're going up against the interception machine known as Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, they're going up against Brandon Allen and the
Speaker 1: Broncos offense for the Green Bay Packers, Greg. In week
Speaker 1: fourteen they go up against Dayne Haskins and Washington. In
Speaker 1: week fifteen they go up against Chicago, whoever the quarterback
Speaker 1: is Trabiski or Chase Daniel. That offense has not been
Speaker 1: a good one. But then in week sixteen they face
Speaker 1: up against the face off against the Vikings. So you
Speaker 1: know you can mix and match a little bit there.
Speaker 1: I like the Lions in week fifteen and sixteen, and
Speaker 1: then I like the Packers in week fourteen and fifteen. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't really like that matchup much against this Vikings offense.
Speaker 1: They have been a very very good one so far
Speaker 1: this year. Fair enough, Now we have a couple of
Speaker 1: minutes left and I want to use this time. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about players to drop, and we need a much
Speaker 1: of players to pick up for this week. And you've
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on guys. But for instance,
Speaker 1: you mentioned James Washington. It right, well, we like both
Speaker 1: like James Washington. One of the reasons is ju Juice
Speaker 1: Schuster is hurt you dropped you Juice Smith Schuster. Ah man,
Speaker 1: It's it's so tough, right because it's a similar situation
Speaker 1: to Terry McLain. We know how talented you do Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster is, but his upside is so capped because of
Speaker 1: the play of Mason Rudolph to me that that move
Speaker 1: doesn't really make a lot of sense, like if you
Speaker 1: were doing it for James Washington. It's look, I know
Speaker 1: that James Washington is not a more talented player than
Speaker 1: do do jud You probably not going to play this week,
Speaker 1: but likely back after that. I don't think that I
Speaker 1: can drop. Look, if you need a running back this
Speaker 1: week and and he's the worst player on your team,
Speaker 1: then for both Scarbro. Sure, But if we're just talking
Speaker 1: about do do for James Washington, I'd rather just hold
Speaker 1: you do at that point. So here's my thing, Fine,
Speaker 1: do you do for James Washington? Fine? Mason Rudolf started
Speaker 1: for the Steelers back in week three. Since week three,
Speaker 1: how many times do you think Jujuicemith Schuster has had
Speaker 1: more than six for PPR points sex? How many weeks
Speaker 1: has that been? Uh? Since week three? So three, four
Speaker 1: or five? Six? They're on the buy in seven, eight,
Speaker 1: eight weeks over six half point PPR, I will say three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been very boomer Buss. He's had three really good
Speaker 1: weeks and I'm saying the rest were just bad. And
Speaker 1: he left last week. So but whatever you need to
Speaker 1: have it, Like I'm saying six points not noble digits.
Speaker 1: He's been bad. I mean there's no one of those
Speaker 1: three he's been bad. There's no way around it. Look,
Speaker 1: if you're playing a ten team league, sure you can drop.
Speaker 1: Like what if you don't when your team league? You
Speaker 1: want most Scarboro look, if you don't know he talked
Speaker 1: about used to be the worst. Is the worst player
Speaker 1: on your team, then yes, you can drop him and
Speaker 1: there might be might be a situation where that is
Speaker 1: the case. But it's not just bo right, like is
Speaker 1: these handcuffs talking about Madison. If he is the worst
Speaker 1: player on your team, you can drop him, and there
Speaker 1: might be a team out there where he is the
Speaker 1: worst player. It wouldn't surprise me it well, actually maybe
Speaker 1: it would because people use their first or second round pick, Like,
Speaker 1: you're surely ours and the team that we played together,
Speaker 1: would you drop would you rather drop Judice the Schuster,
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal both? I think you drop both? T Hy
Speaker 1: Hilton might play this week good absolutely could for sure.
Speaker 1: Um So I think Jujie I thought Juju is a
Speaker 1: really interesting one. Um I think you go you look
Speaker 1: at people for the bye, Like Mike Williams has two
Speaker 1: catches or less in every game over the last six weeks.
Speaker 1: Can you drop Mike Williams is a bye? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about him than Juju, just
Speaker 1: because you know he is still seeing a lot of
Speaker 1: deep targets. He hasn't been able to do anything he
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a touchdown. But again, if he's the worst
Speaker 1: player in your team, I don't have a problem these
Speaker 1: you know at this point, Greg, strip the name off
Speaker 1: the back of the jersey. Mike Williams and Juju very
Speaker 1: talented players. They're not putting up Fantasy points right now.
Speaker 1: So again, if they're the worst player on your team,
Speaker 1: then you can drop these guys. I'll throw out a
Speaker 1: name at you, Greg, Brian Hill. And I'm going to say,
Speaker 1: do not drop Brian Hill because he's still played a
Speaker 1: ton of snaps last week, sound carries touching us called back,
Speaker 1: got called back. DeVonta Freeman even if he returns, could
Speaker 1: easily get hurt again too and be shot. Not dropping
Speaker 1: Brian Hill, I agree he is Frank Stample. I am
Speaker 1: Greg Susman. Thank you so much for checking us out,
Speaker 1: especially if you're watching us on Pluto. We'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We hope NFL season is now upon us and you
Speaker 1: can become the eighth person away one million dollars in
Speaker 1: a FanDuel Draft Kings tournament by setting their lineups using
Speaker 1: the Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If
Speaker 1: you're playing Dailey Fantasy Sports, and not using Daily Order
Speaker 1: dot Com. You're doing it wrong. Sign him now for
Speaker 1: the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections,
Speaker 1: and better results into promo code action for a ten
Speaker 1: ver cent discount. Is that's promo code action? What did
Speaker 1: app What did happen? Here's what you missed on the
Speaker 1: bf APS. So going into his last drive, it aust
Speaker 1: Eckler does nothing in the second half, right, nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: So going into that last drive, I'm up four points
Speaker 1: at that moment, and I'm like, oh my god. Basically
Speaker 1: he needs to touch that in order to beat me,
Speaker 1: is what I'm thinking. Okay, fine, and they just I
Speaker 1: want to just run the clock out tick tack tick
Speaker 1: tick dick. Of course, on a third down he rushes
Speaker 1: for sixteen yards. I'm like, oh my god, oh Greggy.
Speaker 1: So now I am up one point nine points and
Speaker 1: it's third down and he gets sacked or stacked first
Speaker 1: or whatever. They don't complete it. All right, I'm up
Speaker 1: one point nine points. Let's go figuring we'll get the
Speaker 1: Eckler dump boss on this last drive. So now all
Speaker 1: I want, I don't care what the Eckler dump bops,
Speaker 1: be honest. The game is the Chiefs get the ball
Speaker 1: back meals big bang boom, tick tick tick tick the
Speaker 1: deck dick. So then of course you get the long
Speaker 1: heave down the field. Complete. Didn't a freaking the only
Speaker 1: past Philpver was completed all night. They say he was
Speaker 1: out of back. He wasn't. The clock stops, no deck,
Speaker 1: I just stopped. And I saw betting Twitter go nuts
Speaker 1: over this, and rightfully, so the clock stopped. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: have stopped. He shouldn't have. So Eckler catches the pass. Fine,
Speaker 1: I'm still up. Let's say around four now, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, he's gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: George are gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna tie the game.
Speaker 1: Homes go win the game. This is it. This is
Speaker 1: how I lose. And then Philip Rivers throws the interception?
Speaker 1: Why because he always does? Why because he is a loser,
Speaker 1: always has been a loser. In fact, a little harsh.
Speaker 1: What does he want in his career? Nothing, that's the
Speaker 1: correct answer. Maybe some fantasy championships. You know, he is
Speaker 1: the third most wins all time. You've never even reach
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Fran targeting Dannon, Marie don't have more
Speaker 1: they reached Super Bowls Lipser, sure, yeah, and he does
Speaker 1: what he always does. Hey lost, which caused me so win.
Speaker 1: So I went to sleep feeling great and yet could
Speaker 1: really sleep very well. I don't know why. I feel
Speaker 1: it awesome. This is not the turn that I thought
Speaker 1: this story was gone. I won based on your tone
Speaker 1: the entire time. Like well, Greg lost for sure, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes carre high fifty nine rushing guard. All right, so
Speaker 1: congrats Greg Man. So why why didn't you Why didn't
Speaker 1: you sleep well? I don't know. Alright, that was at
Speaker 1: least you won. I did. I felt great. Maybe you
Speaker 1: were so pumped about the wind you just can't sleep.
Speaker 1: You know what, I was falling asleep. It's my own fault.
Speaker 1: I was falling asleep and then like I thought, it
Speaker 1: was a ridiculous thing. But my dry cleaning. I want
Speaker 1: to make sure I had I dry cleaning because I
Speaker 1: gotta wear sports cook tomorrow. As you know, we have
Speaker 1: to wear sports. I am one of those weeks, so
Speaker 1: I have to wear one or bring one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wear it all day, but I have to bring one.
Speaker 1: So I was like, hey, Judy the dry cleaning here,
Speaker 1: and then she's like yeah, and then we were I
Speaker 1: was awake because like my I was thinking and I
Speaker 1: was like that was it. Like I could go back
Speaker 1: to sleep. Then to my story
