1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Wow, what is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me and your man, m G.

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: Marcus Grants, still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like Neo

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: in the matrix. As always, we are joined by producer

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: Justin and the specialists on the other side of the

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: glass there say, everybody waves, I mean nobody can see

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: you because I know you're waving and that counts for

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: something for me. H cast of dozens that helps put

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: on this show, and of course joined by Michael left

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Florio to my left. Worked week seven already, which seems

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: like it's kind of flown by so far. Yeah, it

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: feels fast, right like Week one takes forever to get here.

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: And then it's just like I think it's like you

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: always say, like the first ten weeks, like they just

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: fly by, and it's yeah, like every week I'm like, wow,

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's week this already, and like here

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: we are in week seven. Here we are in week seven,

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you've heard, it's the big

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: season ever, and so that means we still are we're

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: only just about a third of the way through the

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: whole NFL regular season. A little bit shorter for the

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: fantasy regular season, so it's getting big for a lot

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: of folks. It's it's time to make a move. I

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: think in some leagues if you are not playing particularly well.

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk about. Of course, we

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: have our big questions for weeks seven. Will do a

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: preview of every game on the Thursday and Sunday slates,

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: And of course we've got some sleepers for you coming

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: up at the end of the show. But let's get

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: started with some fantasy headlines, if we will. Big one

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: that came down just this morning, just before we sat

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: down for this show, Baker Mayfield is not playing against

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos tonight. Now. Earlier in the week, he

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: had said that it was going to be his decision

35
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: to play as he's dealing with an injured, non throwing shoulder,

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 1: But apparently head coach step Kevin Stefanski and maybe somebody

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: else in the Cleveland buildings said not so fast, my friend.

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: We still get some saying this. So, uh, no, Baker

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: case Keenum is making the start. I guess the first

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: question is we're not starting case Keenum anywhere? Are we? No?

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I I had to update the rankings this morning when

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: this came out that Baker Mayfield was lying to us,

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: all um and I made Case Keenum the lowest of

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: all the starting quarterbacks this week. He's ahead of like

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, who maybe he'll get some time in there,

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: who knows, But like that's about it. Yeah, so no

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Case Keenum. But I guess the bigger, more important question

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: is does this change how you feel about any of

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: the past catchers Jarvis Late or not, Jervis, Odell Beckham Jr.

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: Uh David and Joku, Donovan People's jones better, worse about

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: the same thing you did before, a little worse like

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: the tight ends. I still I have them ranked pretty

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: low because you just never know which one is going

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to get the volume each week. But I had Oldell

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Ranked as a wide receiver to this week

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: inside my top twenty four. I have now lowered him

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: into wide receiver three territory. And I had Donovan People's

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: jones he was like a top forty wide receiver for me.

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: He's now just outside of that. I still think he

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: is a flex option just because of all the injuries

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: and buys that we're dealing with this week. But Uh,

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: in the meantime, like is case Keenum? Can we really

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: trust him to the thing that we liked about People's

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Jones was his downfield ability. Can we expect case Keenum

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that? I'm not so sure. I

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: don't really love the idea of any of them right now.

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: With Case Keenum, you know, suddenly thrown into the starting

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: role hours before kickoff. Now, look, maybe he had a

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: clue that this could happen, but still you're talking about

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: just kind of putting him in against the Broncos defense.

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: That isn't really bad um, And I know Von Miller

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: said he's looking forward to getting after the quarterback and

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I so good luck Case Keenum. You have fun with that.

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get it. And I so let me

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: just let me just start this show by saying, I

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the things we're going to

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: say on this show today are gonna be prefaced by

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: you probably don't have a choice because you have X

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: number of players on buy. But if you have a choice,

80
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: don't know that I love any of the Browns. What

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: about their running backs? Because I boosted both of them

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: up with the move because I think they're just gonna

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: naturally give them all more to those two players. I

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: think so. I think. I think even with Baker being

85
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: there and not being healthy, Um, I think you're gonna

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: see them lead on their running backs a little bit. Um.

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I know that, you know. When I put in waiver

88
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: claims last night, I put in a lot of claims

89
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: for Dimatrick Felton and Dearnest Johnson. Um, And I think

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna see both those guys get a lot of

91
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: work with Hunt and Nick Chubb out. I have a

92
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: feeling that's gonna be a very low scoring game though today. Yeah,

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot of a lot of defense in this one.

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: This is I mean a Broncos defense that has not

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: allowed a lot of points to quarterbacks or receivers already.

96
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I have Dearness Johnson a little bit higher than Feltson

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: in my rankings. I think Johnson is like the Nick

98
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Chubb of this offense now, and Felton will be like

99
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the Cream Hunt, the pass patch pass catching specialists. But

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: if the Browns are trailing, he could easily get like

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: five plus targets in this game. Right by the way

102
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: I said tonight, I mean tomorrow night. Um My head

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: is I know what you meant, right exactly. My head

104
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: sort of all over the place. It's actually over Tevez

105
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: Ravine right now. It's kind of where it is at

106
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: the bumment alright. Other news, Jimmy Garoppolo is back at

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: practice for the San Francisco forty Niners. They are off

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: of their by They've got the Indianapolis Colts this week.

109
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Trey Lance still dealing with a bit of a knee injury,

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: so not sure how that's gonna play out. It looks

111
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: like Garoppolo is going to get the start for the

112
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: forty Niners this week. What is your appetite for maybe

113
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: starting him, let's say a two QB league against the

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Colts this week? In a two QB league, I think

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent in play, just because there's not

116
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot out there. And again we're

117
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it, but like, who would you be,

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, you'd have to have two studs. I think

119
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: to be sitting Jimmy g this week. I have him

120
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: ranks currently as my QB nineteen um, but I'm tinkering

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: with the idea of raising him a bit, like I

122
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: have him just behind Taylor Heineke Carson Wentz, Derek Carr, Jamis. Uh,

123
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: so I'm considering moving him up. I definitely will not

124
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: be moving him back because the names behind him are

125
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: like Fields, Mac Jones, General Smith, Like. I wouldn't start

126
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: those players over him, I don't think. But I'm considering

127
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: moving him ahead of maybe like Heineke at the very least. Yeah,

128
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: I say Heineke. I would definitely think about moving him

129
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: ahead up. I think those other names you mentioned I

130
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: might start over Garoppolo at this point. Um, we're still

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: sort of waiting on Trey Lance, and I know his

132
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: his start that he had against the Cardinals was not

133
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: particularly good. Um, he's still at least he's still a

134
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: least worth holding though at this point, right, yeah, especially

135
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: if you're in a two quarterback format, like I have

136
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: a super Flex league right now, Marcus, where my two

137
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are Josh Allen and Justin Herbert and my backup

138
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: option is Lance. I'm still holding onto lands Day right now.

139
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't have another quarterback. I'm trying to make a trade.

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: If I don't, Kendall Hinton might be my starting quarterback

141
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: this week because there's no other options. I mean, look, man,

142
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: it well, it didn't really work out for the Broncos either,

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: starting Kendall Hinton, but maybe it'll be better for you

144
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: who knows. Um. Last bit of news Dawson Knox, who

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: has brought some joint to our tight end fantasy lines.

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: He has a broken bone in his hand. Uh. He

147
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: suffered it during the game on Monday night against the Titans.

148
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: I think he actually threw that two point conversion pass

149
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: with a broken hand apparently, so it kind of looked

150
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: like it kind of looked like it the way he

151
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: threw it got there, like when he threw it. The

152
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: announcements were like, oh, well he was a former quarterback

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: in high school, and I was like, and that's how

154
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: he droves. I expected a lot better. So maybe it's

155
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: because he had a broken bone in his hands. So

156
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: the good news for the Bills is that they are

157
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: on a bye this week, so that does give him

158
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: a little bit extra time to try and get healthy.

159
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: If you are looking for tight ends saying week eight, Um,

160
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: do you pivot to Tommy Sweeney? Do you go somewhere else?

161
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I think you go somewhere else. Dawson did have surgery

162
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: in his hands, so they're hoping that he doesn't miss

163
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: too much time, but I think week eight is in

164
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: question for him. But I expected the Bills to run

165
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of four wide receiver sets this year, and

166
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: they have. It's them in the Cardinals that are running

167
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: the most. But Gabriel Davis isn't hasn't been in thing

168
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: one because Emmanuel Sanders never ages and two because Dawson

169
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Knox emerged, and now with him out, if he is

170
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: out next week, I think we'll see more Gabriel Davis

171
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: involved than we will Tommy Sweeney. Uh Is Sweeney, I

172
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: think you'd be hoping for a touchdown and I don't

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: really love his chances. Yeah, I feel feel sort of

174
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: the same way. Emmanuel Sanders has been a nice revelation

175
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: this year. When I didn't I didn't know what to expect.

176
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: I didn't expect much. But he's been really, really good

177
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: for the Bills this year. So if you haven't heard,

178
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Week seven is by mcgeddon. By mcgeddon one, six teams

179
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: are on a by that not only is it the

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: volume of teams, it is the teams themselves. You got

181
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, Cowboys, Jaguars, Chargers, Vikings, and Steelers. So let's

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: look at some of the guys who are gonna be missing,

183
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean a quarterback, You've got no Josh Allen, Dak Prescott,

184
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert Kirk, Cousins. Your your notable running backs that

185
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: are missing, Ezekiel Elliott, James Robinson, Austin Ekeler, Dalvin Cook, Nagy,

186
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: Harris Uh. At wide receiver, you got Stefon Diggs one

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: of the guys missing. I guess I can throw Emanuel

188
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: Sanders in there too, Marii Cooper, Seedee Lamb, Keenan Allen,

189
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Justin Jefferson, Adam Feeling, Beyonce Johnson, there's Emmanuel Sanders.

190
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Uh, it's just a blood path at

191
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: wider sey this week at a tight end, we got

192
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and Dalton Schultz. Who it is? Um, So

193
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: it kind of brought up a question for me, And

194
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: I actually got a tweet a couple of days ago

195
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: or somebody sent me their lineup, and it just was

196
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot of like either out because of injury

197
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: or on a by uh, to the point that it

198
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be tough for them

199
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: to field a roster. In fact, here it is They've

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: got Justin Herbert on a bye, Seedee Lamb on a by,

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: Mike Williams on a by, Austin Or on a bye, Nagy,

202
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: Harris Dawson, Knox, James Rob Consent on a buy. They

203
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: have Dak Prescott as their other quarterbacks. So literally, the

204
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: whole starting lineup is on a bye this week. If

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: you filed yourself in a situation like that, how would

206
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: you handle that? I would take the l this week, like,

207
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: because the thing is, you're not playing fantasy football to

208
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: win in Week seven. I understand it's gonna suck having

209
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: to watch your team give you like fifty points this

210
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: week and you're gonna lose and it's not gonna be fun.

211
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: But I would rather that and have that line up

212
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. That's also a way you

213
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: could look at it, like, not only do you want

214
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: to have these good players on your roster from the

215
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: end of the year, but you get all your buys

216
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: out of the way. It's pretty much a bye week

217
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: for you. Go out and enjoy your Sunday. You don't

218
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: have to Obviously you're gonna watch football, but you don't

219
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: have to be watching your live scoring and your fantasy

220
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: team and stuff, and then the rest of the way, well,

221
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: everyone else is still dealing with buys. There's buys up

222
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: until week fourteen this year, you do not have to

223
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: worry about it. So I would just sit tight with

224
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: those players that you have. I wouldn't be trying to

225
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: make a trade because no one is going to give

226
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: you full value, being like, hey, I now have to

227
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: sit all of these players this week. To me, the

228
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: only way I would change that stance is if I'm

229
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: sitting at like two and five or or something like that,

230
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: and I'm desperate for a win, then I don't think

231
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: you could just take a loss this week. But if

232
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: you're like three and three or better, it's okay, it's

233
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: just one week. I think you you hold onto those players. Yeah,

234
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the best way to handle it,

235
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: because you know, you're talking about if you're if you're

236
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: trying to play waivers, then you know, obviously that means

237
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: you're you're letting go of somebody really good you don't

238
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: want to put back on the waiver wire. Uh, if

239
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you're trading, it really is just sort of a one

240
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: week fixed kind of thing. Uh, you know that roster

241
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: in particular is just loaded from top to bottom. So

242
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: you just sort of sit tight and you take the

243
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: l of this week and uh, you don't worry about it.

244
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I heard from people who are like, well,

245
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: that just means you drafted poorly. I'm like, I don't know.

246
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't really worry about bye weeks afting.

247
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: I just want to get good players, especially if the

248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: bye week is is you know, like weeks seven, it's

249
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: two months since you drafted, so much change and that

250
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: span those players could get hurt, you could make moves,

251
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: who knows. So I'm just like you, Like I I

252
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: think in like a super flex league, maybe you could

253
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: look at like your second quarterbacks by so it's not

254
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: the same as the first. But even so, like I

255
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: had I just said, I have Alan and Herbert. I

256
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: don't regret having those two at all. It'll stink this week,

257
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: but it'll be fine after that. Yeah. So I mean, look,

258
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: if if you found yourself in that situation, um, just

259
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: just take the other just take a nivist for this week,

260
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: uh and and you know, let it ride and you'll

261
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: come back strong next week. And like Florio said, you're

262
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: done with buys at that point at least for all

263
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: your key players, and then you can just roll through

264
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: to the rest of the regular season. Alright, time for

265
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: three big questions we've got heading in two weeks seven

266
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: to help you hopefully not mess up your lineup. Although look,

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: it's buy Mgeddon, so it's gonna be it's gonna be

268
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: a struggle for everybody, just believe that. I want to

269
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: start with some wide receivers who have led us down

270
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: so far this season. Um of these three guys, who

271
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: is more droppable? Allen Robinson, Robbie Anderson or Odell Beckham jr. Uh.

272
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: It's funny because you picked three receivers that I just

273
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: can't seem to quit. But of the three, I would

274
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: say Robbie Anderson, Which is funny because in my Waiver

275
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Wire article this week, I've included Robbie Anderson and said

276
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: when people drop him, pick him back up because he's

277
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: so He's been averaging like ten targets per game over

278
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: the last three But I still think of the three,

279
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: he is the most droppable because, for one, I do

280
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: not think he's ever gonna be the top target on

281
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: his team. I think that role goes to DJ Moore,

282
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: where the other two I think will be the top

283
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: targets there um Allen Robinson. I know he has been brutal,

284
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have eleven Fantasy points in a game

285
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: this year. It has been tough, but I still think

286
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: his upside is the highest of the three, especially as

287
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: justin fields. He looks better last week than he has

288
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: any games so far this year's he starts to get

289
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: more comfortable. Hopefully Alan Robinson could rebound on the back

290
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: half for the season to make up for the slow start.

291
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: And O'Dell he still flashes so much potential at the

292
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: time that I just can never seem to quit him.

293
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I do think at this point right now you could

294
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: valuele del Moore is like a wide receiver three than

295
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: anything else. But I still think the upside that he

296
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: possesses it enough for me to hold onto him here.

297
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: So I'm leaning with Odell on this one, and I

298
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: think for me, this sort of goes back to the

299
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: way I felt about him in the preseason, where I

300
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: was pretty hands off because I just didn't know what

301
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: to expect. I felt like they were gonna be a

302
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of highs and lows, and I guess in some

303
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: ways you've had that right. He first game was in

304
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: week three he got five for seventy seven. Uh. In

305
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: week six he had five for seventy nine. In between

306
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: that he had a couple of twenty yard games. And

307
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: I just for me, it just feels like the the

308
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: targets are so inconsistent from week to week on a team,

309
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: especially that when healthy they want to run the football,

310
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: so much of that offense runs through Kareem Hunt and

311
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Um, you've got the inconsistency of Baker Mayfield

312
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: when he's healthy at quarterback. Uh. But I think all

313
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: three of these guys, like it's all three of them

314
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: are super frustrating and and deep down you really feel

315
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: like maybe you should let them go. But there's something

316
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: about all of them where you I can't. I can't

317
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: quite hit the drop button button yet. Yeah, exactly. And

318
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: that's why, like, if I have any of them. Like

319
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: so last week in in the league, I wanted to

320
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: bench Allan Robinson, but I was gonna have to drop

321
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: um in order for me to update my line up,

322
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna have to drop like Jamison Crowder. And

323
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'll give Allen Robinson

324
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: one more week before I have to make a move,

325
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: and it ended up costing me the week because he

326
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: struggled mightily and the guy I was gonna get in

327
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: over him played well. But I still like, I'm at

328
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the point now where I'm benching him, And I'm cool

329
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: benching any of these three if you have better options.

330
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: But I just the upside that they possessed. Maybe it's

331
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: me just looking at them with rose colored goggles on them,

332
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: but like I just can't seem to quit them for

333
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: some reason. I they have too much upside. I don't.

334
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong, but it's just like, you know,

335
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: like I was going through and looking at right now,

336
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is the wide receiver fifty four. Uh, Robbie

337
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Anderson is sixty two UM, and where's O'Dell? He's I

338
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: think even further down the list, if I'm not mistaken,

339
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: he is seventy eight. I mean, that's that's unbelievable. Yeah,

340
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: And it's it's funny because they're all struggling in their

341
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: own way, Like Anderson is struggling with with dropped, like

342
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: the volume has been there in the last three weeks.

343
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: He just hasn't done anything with it. O'Dell has gotten

344
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: open at times, like downfield for open what could be touchdowns,

345
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: and Baker has missed him. And then Allen Robinson. I mean,

346
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: it's just going wrong on all So, yeah, they're there.

347
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: It's all a little different for each of them, but

348
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: I still like these are all three receivers that we

349
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: were drafting well inside the top thirty. Absolutely. Um, it's

350
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: just it's been awful, yeah, all of them. All right,

351
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: let's let's go the other way though, Which underperforming running

352
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: back is most likely to step things up for the

353
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: back part of the season. Between Josh Jacobs, Clyde Edwards

354
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: Laire and Mike Davis. I think Mike Davis is the

355
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: easy out. Patterson better. Um. For me, it's still Clyde

356
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, and so much of that is because of

357
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: the pieces around him, Like he's on one of the

358
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: best offenses in football, with Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey. UM.

359
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: My biggest concern with Clyde Edwards Laire besides the injury,

360
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: is like Darryl Williams stepped up last week. He had

361
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: more carries than c h has in a game this year.

362
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: And more targets. And that is the concerning part to

363
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: me because we always talk up c H as a

364
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: great receiving back. Imagine what he could do catching passes there.

365
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't have more than three targets in a game

366
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: this year. Daryl Williams and his first start gets four

367
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: and twenty one carries. And my concern with that, Marcus

368
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: is like, is it time to have a discussion, like,

369
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: is Daryl Williams the better of the two running backs

370
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: in Kansas City? He might be at least or at

371
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: least we should have the discussion of is cch overrated?

372
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Did we get too excited about him? Because look, last year,

373
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, he was okay, and like I keep saying,

374
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: he was a victim of our expectations. This year, the

375
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: expectations were lowered, uh, and he's still struggling to meet them.

376
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: So maybe it's not us, Maybe it's him. He he

377
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: did have an ankle injury in the preseason and he's

378
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: banged up now, so maybe he just hasn't been healthy.

379
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think a lot of it is on us,

380
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: and I also think a lot of it was that,

381
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: like we kind of got fooled because he played on

382
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: basically the Kansas City Chiefs version of college in college football,

383
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: like with with that Joe Burrow l SU team that

384
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: had Justin Jefferson and Jamaar Chase and and more around him.

385
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: Like so, I think because of all the pieces around

386
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: him in college as well, it probably made propped him

387
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: up a little bit as well. Probably did. I'm gonna

388
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick just Josh Jacobs here for this one,

389
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: and mostly because just he's still getting so many snaps

390
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: and so many touches in that offense, you know, I know,

391
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: I earlier in the week on Fantasy Live, I talked

392
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: about uh Kenyan Drake and the fact that you know,

393
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: he had a couple of touchdowns and looked like they

394
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: were using him more. In reality, he only had six

395
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: touches in that game, which which was more than he'd

396
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: had recently, but still not really a lot. And so

397
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe with Greg Olsen calling plays now, maybe we see

398
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: more Kenyan Drake. But I still think when it comes

399
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: to the running game, it's a lot of Josh Jacobs here. Um,

400
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, I wish they would throw him the ball more.

401
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: Maybe they do that, Maybe they actually involved in the

402
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: passing game more because John Gruden is not calling the plays.

403
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I still think there's a path

404
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: for him to uh kind of be something close to

405
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: a workhorse and get those opportunities. Um, maybe you can

406
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: score a couple of touchdowns. That'd be nice if they

407
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: if they stopped giving him all to Kenyan Drake. Right,

408
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: and apparently Kenyan Drakes like the touchdown machine. Now do

409
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: you think we could trust Kenyan Drake at all? Because

410
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: I I still don't feel good about it. I don't

411
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: feel good about starting him, But I think what I

412
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: saw last week is like, look if I if I

413
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: have him, I'm gonna hold him. And if I'm in

414
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: a deep league and he's available, maybe I I dash

415
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: him just to see if he's starting to get more work. Yeah,

416
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: if the new play caller is starting to actually you

417
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: know the guy they gave twelve million dollars to, maybe

418
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: get him the ball. Maybe get to the ball. I

419
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know. It's a crazy idea, all right. Last one,

420
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: who is the better bye week quarterback option? Between Matt

421
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: Ryan or Carson Wentz? So I said Carson Wentz, I

422
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: think if you are solely playing for weeks seven, you

423
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: could go with Matt Ryan. I like his matchup a

424
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: little bit more. But Carson Wentz has been playing good football,

425
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: I think better than he gets credit for. He has

426
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: one game this season with less than seventeen Fantasy points.

427
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: I think his floor is a little bit safer. Why

428
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan has the highest ceiling and the

429
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: reason why I like Carson Wentz is this week isn't

430
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: the best match up against the Niners, but after that,

431
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the cold schedule really opens up. So I think Carson

432
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: Wentz is gonna be one of those guys that, like,

433
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: one week, you'll use him as your bye week replacement,

434
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: then I'll use him the next week. But like, if

435
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: you have your quarterback on buy and like a couple

436
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, it's a good move to get ahead of

437
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: that and grab Carson Wentz right now. I think. I

438
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: think I think you kind of nailed it though, where

439
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz I think has the longer term outlook that

440
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: you want. Um, he's been the perfect QB two this

441
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: year too, if you have him in like a super

442
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: flex league or something, because that that very steady seventeen

443
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: point floor pretty much most weeks, that's kind of all

444
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: you want out of your second quarterback, and I think

445
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: this week, uh one, I think the Niners have actually

446
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: been a lot softer than I think we anticipated, so

447
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: I think there's some moves there. But I do think

448
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: if it's for this week, I like Matt Ryan. Um.

449
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: Look the last couple of weeks, the last couple of

450
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: games from Matt Ryan, He's got you over twenty points. Now,

451
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: admittedly they were again some bad defenses. He beat the

452
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Washington football team and he beat the Jets. But the

453
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins haven't been very good this year defensively, so this

454
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: could be another good game for Matt Ryan. He's he's

455
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: kind of turned into a matchup based guy, but it

456
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty good matchup. One of my pet

457
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: pees though, is when like like people, because like the

458
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: other day I was excited about two of playing well

459
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh, well it was a good matchup,

460
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, would you would you be happy

461
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: if he played bad? And that's like, this is what

462
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback is supposed to do, go out and take

463
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: advantage of the bad defenses that they get to play.

464
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: So Matt Ryan has shown us he's capable of doing that,

465
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins defense is far from what we expected,

466
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: so I I like him a lot. I think this

467
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: is the week Calvin Ridley gets going. This is the

468
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: big Calvin Ridley week. I think, Hey, look, we had

469
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: the big Kyle Pitts week just before the buy, So

470
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: now we get Calvin Ridley going and uh and everything's

471
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: gonna be good again in Atlanta. Time for a break,

472
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: but afterwards, we've got some game previews coming up next

473
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Uh. That gets us

474
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: to the starts of our game previews four Week seven.

475
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: We'll get it kicked off with Thursday Night Football. We

476
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: talked at the top of the show about Baker Mayfield

477
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: uh not being available because of the shoulder injury. This

478
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: is a game where there's just injuries all over the

479
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: place on both sides. So with that in mind, um,

480
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: who can we maybe rely on this week? I think

481
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: you could start Dearness Johnson. And he's a name that

482
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: was on a lot of waiver wires. I got lucky

483
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: in the league. I picked him up at a desperation

484
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: last week, and now I'm I'm starting him not even

485
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: thinking about it, like he's inside my top twenty running backs.

486
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Much of that is because of all the backs that

487
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: are hurt or on by this week, but you're gonna

488
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: be desperate for a starting running back, and I think

489
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Johnson is someone who could give you like fifteen plus

490
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: touches this week. I don't think Felton is built for that.

491
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Because Felton's next carry in the NFL will be his first,

492
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: He's been used in the passing at least this season,

493
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: He's been used a lot in the passing game former receiver.

494
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: That's why I think he is like the Kareem Hunt,

495
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: where I think, Uh Johnson is the new Nick Chubb there.

496
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I think Johnson is an RB two and I have

497
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: felt in as a flex option, but both are guys

498
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: that I think you could grab off the waiver wire

499
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: and plug into your starting line up in Week seven.

500
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's pretty savvy of the Browns though,

501
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: to have sort of a backup tandom, like they're like

502
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: they're starting tandem, right. I mean, you've got Felton that

503
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: slides into the the Hunt role, You've got Johnson who

504
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: slides into the Chubb role. Um. Obviously I wouldn't expect

505
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: the same level of production, but you at least have

506
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: an idea of what their usage potentially could be. So

507
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: I think that's something to keep an eye on. Again,

508
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't expect a lot of points in Broncos Browns

509
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football. Start the defenses. Start the defenses, especially,

510
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I think especially start the Broncos defense. Now that we

511
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: know that it's case Keendom getting started that one. So

512
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: I've mentioned it before, I wanna mentioned it again. We

513
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: are on the TikTok. Come check us out at NFL Fantasy.

514
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: We're doing fun and entertaining and hopefully informative stuff there.

515
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: You can follow us at NFL Fans. You can follow

516
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: me at Marcus Grant if you like. And uh, I

517
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: think you are. You're settling, and you're you're circling a

518
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: potential name now right, Yeah, I think I'm gonna I'm

519
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna make it. I guess I was just gonna say.

520
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: I'll say it next week. Don't say it because of

521
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: what happened the last time we did that. By the way,

522
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: if you guys want to know what happens during the

523
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: breaks here, um, we were we were googling a tight

524
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: ends and uh, looking through some of the eight I said,

525
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: great in air quotes, Great tight ends in Jets history. It's.

526
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: Um it's pretty bleak. Yeah, I told you. I pulled

527
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: up a site that had the ten best all time

528
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: and Austin Sefari and Jenkins were in there, and I

529
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: was like, that's where I have to close it. Yeah, yeah,

530
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty In fact, if you want to know

531
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: what started it, Ian Harditt's our friend and friend of

532
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: the show was a tweeting about the fact that Chris Herndon,

533
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: former Jet tight end, has one touchdown catch this year.

534
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: All Jets tight end combined have zero. I really thought

535
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: once he left the Jets, he was gonna be back

536
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: to being the fantasy relevant. It hasn't happened, but he's

537
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: still outperforming the Jets guys, the Jets. The Jets have

538
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: consistently punted on the tight end position pretty much my

539
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: entire life. Um, so that you would think it like,

540
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: at least at one point they would do what every

541
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: New York team does and like sign a star whale

542
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: well past their prime. But like they haven't even done that.

543
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean you would think just by accident, you would

544
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: just fell into a guy who's protective, But nope, No,

545
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: even the Cardinals now have Zach because the Cardinals have

546
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: been the other team they don't really ever have a

547
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, you know, Max Williams is playing well

548
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: and now they have Zach Ertz, Like even the Cardinals

549
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: have fallen into it. Like the Jets are just signed

550
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Graham after this year or something and be like, look,

551
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: we have a good tight end. Oh Jimmy Graham. Man.

552
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into our game previews. Though

553
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: a team were they very good tight end? The Kansas

554
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. They are on the road taking on the

555
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Titans fresh off that big, big win at

556
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: home against the Buffalo Bills. But with all that being said,

557
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: and even though they're playing the Chiefs, I'm gonna tell

558
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: you might want to not play Ryan Tannehill this week.

559
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: And and for me, it's not even about Tannehill, and

560
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: it's definitely not about the Chiefs defense. It's more about

561
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: how the offense has sort of worked around him this year.

562
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I still don't believe he has a game

563
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: with multiple touchdown passes. Uh. It just it just has

564
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: not been a great part of it. Uh is that

565
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I actually take that he has one game

566
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: he threw three touchdown passes against the Colts UH in

567
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Week three. Every other game there was just one or

568
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: fewer touchdown passes for him, which is a surprise. Right,

569
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: they have a J. Brown, they go get Julio Jones.

570
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Then the problem is neither one of those guys can

571
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Julio still has a hamstring injury, so we'll

572
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: see what his availability is UH for this week's game.

573
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: It just has not been great. Fortunately for the Titans,

574
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: they have a dude named Derrick Henry who is helping

575
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: keep them afloat right now. Um, he's pretty good, he's

576
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. But Ryan Tannehill has just been super I

577
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: don't even say man. I feel he's been like less

578
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: than man. He's not even quite rising to the level

579
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: of Oatmeal this year, the way he's played and and

580
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: the thing is like coming into this season and he

581
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: made twenty six starts for the Titans and through multiple

582
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns and twenty of them, so like we I

583
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: thought for sure he was a very safe floor quarterback.

584
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: Then you bring in Julio Jones. Now, like, come on,

585
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: it's been a disappointment for that entire past game. I

586
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: know A J. Brown had the big second half the

587
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: other day, but still that whole passing game. And it's

588
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry, like Derrick Henry, like you said, he's

589
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: on pace to break the carries record, the yards record,

590
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: like you pick a record, he's probably on pace to

591
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: beat it. And I was talking with producer Justin before

592
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: the show, like throughout that Monday night game, there was

593
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: multiple players in the bill secondary that would just like,

594
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: come on, I don't want to tackle this guy in

595
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: an open field. And I understand why the Titans just

596
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: keep feeding him the ball. Like I don't love it

597
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: for fantasy, but for real life purposes, I completely get it. Absolutely. Um.

598
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look the the crazy idea of getting Derrick

599
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: Henry out in space where he can like run over smaller,

600
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: smaller tacklers. It's wild. I mean, like Micah Hyde, poor

601
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: Micah hide Man. There was one play where he was

602
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: just like it has to be me, and like he

603
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: went for the legs, and I was just like, imagine

604
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: if that was like your job, like you're standing there

605
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry is running full speedy, I would run

606
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: off the field. I'd rather try to tackle a Volkswagen. Um.

607
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I think someone tweeted it. Nobody

608
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be the next h Josh Norman. Nobody wanted

609
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: to get stiff armed into eternity. Uh. They showed that

610
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: highlight like twelve times. Like even the announcers were like,

611
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: we're We're sorry, Joshure watching alright, Bears at Buccaneers. Um,

612
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: you're still waiting for something from the Bears offense. The

613
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Bucks are just rolling along the Bears offense not so much.

614
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Where where are we going here? This game felt a

615
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: little like tough to pick one because it's like you're

616
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: probably sitting on your Bears and I know, you know

617
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: to start all of your Bucks. But one that I

618
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: wanted to highlight was Antonio Brown because I think he

619
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: is a mustard option. Not this week, just moving forward,

620
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Like I think the rumors of Antonio Brown's demise were

621
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: very exaggerated, Like he is still a top NFL wide

622
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: receiver and in fact, he's outperforming Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

623
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: He has two less Fantasy points than Mike Evans, but

624
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: that's only because he missed the game this year. He's

625
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: averaging more targets per game than those two. He's averaging

626
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: well more Fantasy points. Per game than those guys. And

627
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: I think the percep shi is still that he's the

628
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: third wide receiver option here, but I have him ranked

629
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: the highest of all three. I have Godwin actually as

630
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: the third option now rank in my rankings. But I

631
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: think Antonio Brown is a must start play. I think

632
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: he is the wide receiver one now. And I say

633
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: that as somebody who really kept trying to beat the

634
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: drum for Chris Godwin. Um, and Godwin's been fine, Like

635
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to make it out that

636
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: he's been bad or anything like that, but it is

637
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: apparent that Tom Brady loves going to Antonio Brown. Uh,

638
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: he's making play. He looks he looks kind of like

639
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: the dude we saw in Pittsburgh. Yeah, and it's scary

640
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: because like, defenses are not gonna double him ever, I mean,

641
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: how can you because then you're who do you who

642
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: do you take away from you? Do you not cover

643
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Mike Evans? Do you not cover Chris Godwin? Like? And

644
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: once I get ground back, like, good luck, Ron's gonna

645
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: come back. Leonard for nets playing, there's just it's unfair

646
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: when it's just not fair at all. Eagles at Raiders

647
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: which much upon a time was actually a Super Bowl matchup.

648
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Probably not this year. It's just gonna go out on

649
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: them and say that. Um but he imagine that's the

650
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: super end in the Super Bowl, right Eagles? That would

651
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: be a story if Eagles Raiders ended up Super Bowl

652
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: this year. I'm gonna say this week though, a sleeper

653
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: is Henry Ruggs. Henry Ruggs the third I guess if

654
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: we're being specific here, but um again, we saw the

655
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: Raider offense sort of catch fire a little bit last week.

656
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was you know, them just

657
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: sort of rallying around everything that happened, if it was

658
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: the change in play caller, if they were just due

659
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: for a big game. Um. But Ruggs is putting together

660
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: a nice second season two after being just kind of

661
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: a disappointment in year one. Starting to get more more looks,

662
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: more opportunities and Derek Cars looking for him down field.

663
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: He's become kind of a big play guy in this offense.

664
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: He's sort of sliding into that role we thought he

665
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: was going to take last year that ended up going

666
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: to Nelson Agalore. He's doing a really good job of it.

667
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: And unlike Brian Edwards Himmy Ruggs shows up before the

668
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I like Brian every pot, but like he

669
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: really doesn't show up until they need him late in

670
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: the game. Henry Ruggs is kind of there for you know,

671
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: quarters one through four. That seems like a little bit

672
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: of a better option. So if you are down at

673
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver this week, or you're looking for a flex option, uh,

674
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Hrry Ruggs could be the ticket for you. I love

675
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: that call. I mean, since Week two on his floor

676
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: has been eight, but he's top twenty Fantasy points in

677
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: the game. Uh. And the thing that I love about

678
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs like even in two down games where he

679
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: scored nine and twelve and a half Fantasy points, he

680
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: was doing his job, like he was getting open downfield

681
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: him and car just missed him on too long throws

682
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: in each of those games. It's like, if he connects

683
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: on one of those, We're viewing Henry Ruggs a lot

684
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: differently right now. Absolutely absolutely, But he's like I said,

685
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: he's he's turned it around this year. Yeah. Uh. The

686
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: Washington football team goes to Green Bay to take on

687
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: the Packers. We know you're starting, you know, Aaron Rodgers

688
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, what have you uh? Anybody on

689
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the football team side worth taking a look at. Yeah,

690
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and Terry McLaurin obviously isn't play there as well. I

691
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: I say Ricky Seals Jones can be started this week.

692
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones played a hundred percent of the snaps

693
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: last week and had six targets including a touchdown. The

694
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: week before that the snaps and eight targets. He is

695
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: a big part of this passing game as long as

696
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas's sideline and tight end is gross this week,

697
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: So he's a tight end one. He's a tighten one

698
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: from me last week he is once again this week

699
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: for me. I have picked him up in a couple

700
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: of leagues, actually played him last week. You got a

701
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: decent game out of him, So I'm definitely willing to

702
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: go back to that well again. Uh. During by Mgeddon,

703

Speaker 1: Obviously we're giving you starts and sits here, but if

704

720
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: another break when we come back. Should we be worried

721
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: about Marquise Brown? I know everything's been great, but is

722
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: there maybe something that is gonna hinder him a little bit?

723
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

724
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Bengals at the Ravens. Specifically, let's

725
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: dive into Marquise Brown. He's back to being Hollywood again.

726
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: I know it's supposed to be Hollywood, Florida, but I

727
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know really any cities. Uh, I guess what like

728
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: Ocala and Cassimmi and whatever. But by the way, he's

729
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: Hollywood again. He's playing well. That's the good news. The

730
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know news is that Rashad Bateman is back

731
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: and he saw a good number of targets last week

732
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Should we be worried about Brown's target

733
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: share now that Bateman is back, I'm not worried. And

734
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: Bateman tie Mark Andrews with a team highs six targets

735
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: last week. But it was a game where Baltimore was

736
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: leading throughout and uh Lamar only through for like a

737
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: hundred and it was less than a hundred and seventy yards,

738
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: so it was a it wasn't good game script for

739
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: the receivers. But I think that these two receivers can

740
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: really compliment each other because, yes, Rashad Bateman is a

741
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: better deep threat than anyone else they had besides Marky's Brown,

742
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: but he is more of a contested catch type of receiver.

743
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be utilized in the red zone, which

744
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: is an area where markets Brown already doesn't do a

745
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: whole lot um. I think just more defensive attention now

746
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: could go Bateman's way opening up, because if you have

747
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: markets Brown one on one on the outside, good luck,

748
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: Like he is just gonna burn by you. And I

749
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: think with the Ravens passing one due to their running backs,

750
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: they are throwing more this year, and to Lamar Jackson

751
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: is a good passer. I know that's a hot take

752
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: to say, but he can throw the ball. I think

753
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: it is possible where there's three fantasy relevant options in Baltimore. Now.

754
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: I not super worried about it. I think you're right.

755
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: I think what we've seen from Brown going back to

756
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: the end of last year is that they're finding more

757
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: ways to get him the football. He's making more plays.

758
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I know he had a couple of games early in

759
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: the season where he had some really awful looking drops

760
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: and people were sort of worried. But I feel like

761
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: for the most part, he's kind of cleaned that up,

762
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: um and they're starting to trust him more and and

763
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: I still think, um, he's gonna be one of their

764
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: top options. I do think because of the game script

765
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: last week, as you mentioned, it was a lot easier

766
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: to get Bateman targets, like, hey, you know we're up

767
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: big let's let's work the rookie in. Let's get him

768
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: the back, let's see what he can do. But I

769
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: think when they get into tighter games, um, you know,

770
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: until there is that trust level between Bateman and Lamar Jackson,

771
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 1: I still think they're gonna go heavy to Marques Brown.

772
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: So I'm not super worried about it, but it does.

773
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: That does make this offense a little bit more dynamic,

774
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: having one other guy that can catch the football. Plus

775
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: at some point Sammy Watkins is going to be back too,

776
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: So I kind of hope as someone who is excited

777
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: for a Bateman and I think if he's out there,

778
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: if your waivers haven't ran yet, or if he just

779
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: grab him, I think he has a pretty high upside um.

780
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not as a rookie in this offense, but I

781
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: still think he's worth grabbing. He's better than Sammy Watkins.

782
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, but you know, Sammy's still gonna. Yes,

783
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Sammy's still gonna He's gonna do what he does, and

784
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna have a random big game every now exactly exactly.

785
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: That gets us to the Lions at the Rams. Whole

786
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: lot of revenge going on. But right now, let's talk

787
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: about DeAndre Swift as we sit and record this, he

788
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: is actually the running back seven uh in Fantasy football,

789
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: which is definitely more than I would have anticipated for

790
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: him at this point in the season. So that begs

791
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: the question, can he be a top ten running back

792
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. I think so, Like

793
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: he is doing this with Jamal Williams taking a good

794
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: amount of work away and it doesn't matter. The reason

795
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter is because he's averaging only eleven carries

796
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: per game, but seven targets per game, and that is huge.

797
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: I talked about it a lot, how a target in

798
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: PPR leagues is worth two and a half carries on average.

799
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: And you look at his game log, he doesn't have

800
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: a game this year with less than five targets, and

801
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: five of his love is his low. He is six

802
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: or more in every other game, and that raises his

803
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: floor so much. Uh. The volume is there. It doesn't

804
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: like he's not a traditional running back in the sense

805
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: where he's gonna give you like fifteen plus carries a week,

806
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter as long as he's getting fifteen

807
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: plus touches and catching these amount of passes, which I

808
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: think he will because I don't expect the lines to

809
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: start winning games and not having to be playing catch

810
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: up late. So I do think down your Swift could

811
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: be a top ten running back. And it was a

812
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: swing in a miss by me coming into the year.

813
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: I was high on Swift, and I let the echo

814
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: chamber that could be fantasy Twitter all summer long just

815
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: uh kind of talk me out of it and be like, yeah,

816
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: the offense is going to hold him back, but the

817
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: offense is actually propelling him. I think yeah, and that

818
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean I was with you that I felt the

819
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: exact same way, and like, you know, this offense is

820
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: gonna be playing from behind a lot. Jamal Williams is

821
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna take so many opportunities. Like I was really worried

822
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: about him, but I look, I did see some sort

823
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: of posing opinions saying that because they're gonna be playing

824
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: from behind, he's gonna be involved more. I didn't buy it,

825
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: but it turned out to really be the case. Uh.

826
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: And I think his target share, I mean, he's got

827
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: forty two targets right now. He's got more catches than

828
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: guys like Kenny Golladay, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley. Yes, I know,

829
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: I know injuries have been a part of it. I

830
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: get it, um, but I still would never have expected

831
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: that at this point in the season someone is sitting

832
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: out there with Calvin Ridley right now and just getting

833
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: just fumid, just punching the air right now because they're

834
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: so upset. All right. Back to our game previews Panthers

835
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: at Giants. Look, let's just let's just put it out there.

836
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: There are not a lot of really compelling games on

837
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: the schedule this week. So not only do you have

838
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: six teams on a buy uh, they're just a lot

839
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: of like me games. This is one of them. I

840
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: would say for this week, if you have the option,

841
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: if you can do it. Um. I know people went

842
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: and picked up Devontae Booker because of the se Kwon

843
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: Barkley injury. I can't play Devontae Booker this week against

844
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Their defense has been pretty good for the

845
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: most part. They've been really good against running acts so

846
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: far this year. Um. And I know it was the

847
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: Rams last week, but what the Giants put on tape

848
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: was miserable, bad, bad bad, and I I don't really

849
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: want any part of that. Um. You know, maybe Booker

850
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: gets more opportunity because the game script is not so bad.

851
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: I just don't think the matchup is particularly good. So

852
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: if I have other options, um, I'm staying away from

853
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: Devonte book That's where I'm at with him. If I

854
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: have the options, I'm gonna go into the direction. If

855
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: because it buys your injuries, you're in a pinch, then

856
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: he could be used. But other than that, I think

857
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: you try to get away from him this week. So

858
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: I've seen something on Twitter this morning. I don't know

859
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: if this was real or just one of those fantasy

860
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: Twitter you know, memes and jokes, but like people are

861
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: talking about dropping se Kwan Barkley, Like is this a

862
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: real thing? It shouldn't be, Like I have se Kwan

863
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues, and I thought of dropping him.

864
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: Never even crossed my mind, Like I would understand maybe

865
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: if it was like a more severe injury and it

866
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: was like all related to the knee, but like he

867
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: stepped on a dude's foot, like it can happen to anyone.

868
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: It was just bad luck bad He might be back

869
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: as soon as he's still not ruled out for this week,

870
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: and I think after this week we get Saque back,

871
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: Like no. I just when I saw it this morning,

872
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: I immediately went to do a search, like, did I

873
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: did I miss something that happened overnight? I I couldn't

874
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: find anything. Um, I don't understand it. You know what

875
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: it is? Uh, I forget who it is. Someone put

876
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: out a tweet over the summer that was like, oh,

877
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: it's strong Man argument time. Like and I was told

878
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey isn't good at football. And it's like, no

879
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: one is actually saying things like maybe one random person

880
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: said it, but like, no, it's not a thing. It's

881
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: not a thing. It's not a thing. All right. We

882
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: got the Houston Sexans who are very bad visiting the

883
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals who are very good. Um, where are you

884
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: going in this one? I think it's time that we

885
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: start giving a J. Green love. I have a J.

886
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: Green ranked in my top twenty four wide receivers this week. Uh,

887
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: He's gotten six targets in all but one game this year.

888
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: He has scored over sixteen fantasy points in three of

889
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: his last four. Like he he has just been a good,

890
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: contributing fantasy piece. And I think the reason why so

891
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: many of us were reluctant to buy into a J.

892
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: Green is it's like similar to C but the opposite.

893
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: Like we expected a J. Green to just be washed

894
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: and to be done, and when he was still putting

895
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: up numbers, we were like, all right, but this isn't

896
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: gonna last. Well it has, and it's time to give

897
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: him his due. He is the most consistent of their

898
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: receivers outside of d Hop. I think that he needs

899
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: to be trusted. Now, I I completely agree with you.

900
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: In fact, I had a league where I found him

901
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire last night and I'm like, yep,

902
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: we're putting in a claim for that because he's been

903
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: really really good. Um, and we we talked about this

904
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 1: on Monday. I mean, legitimately, all four of their wide

905
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: receivers should be rostered at point because they've just been

906
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: been that good so far this year. Let's finish off

907
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: our game previews for the week. We'll start with Jets

908
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: at the Patriots. Let's let's let's go as a sleeper

909
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: D for the Patriots. I think that's an option to here.

910
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: And this is the Patriots offense has been okay, it's

911
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: been good enough this year. This is more about the

912
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: Jets offense just being miserable. Um, you know, Zack Wilson

913
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: making mistakes, being pressured, throwing interceptions, giving up sacks. Uh,

914
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: this really has less It's less about the Patriots, more

915
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: about the Jets. But if you were looking to stream

916
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: of defense, I think this is a good option for you. Yeah. Definitely. Uh.

917
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, not a lot of fantasy players to love

918
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: on either side of the ball, and the Patriots defense

919
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: I think are definitely in play this week. Absolutely. Falcons

920
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins. Um, this this feels like a game

921
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: that should have been played in London. It's not gonna

922
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: played in Miami. I don't know. They could have just

923
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: stayed out there were there. They were there just gonna

924
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: like hung around, you know, take pictures and Piccia circus whatever.

925
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: But anyway, they're gonna play in Miami. Who should we

926
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: be playing or not playing in this one? I think

927
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: you should be playing Jalen Waddle, Like, I know, he's

928
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: been up and down, but he's two games this year

929
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: now with thirteen targets, one of which came last week

930
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: where he caught ten of them for seventy yards and

931
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. His ceiling is very high. I know Will

932
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: Fuller and DeVante Parker, we're out. Will Fuller is still out.

933
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: Parker could be back this week, but it was great

934
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: to see Wadd'll get that sort of volume from to

935
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: after his last big game came from Jacoby Brissette. So

936
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: I think he's in play as a wide receiver two

937
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: this week. I definitely think. So. It's nice to see

938
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: him getting more and more involved on a team that's

939
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: looking for consistency at their past catchers, and I think

940
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys. Uh. Sunday Night Football, the

941
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: Colts at the forty Niners. We talked about Jimmy Garoppolo

942
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: being back and possibly starting. Uh, you'll enjoy this by

943
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: must starts. It's Jonathan Taylor. Uh, and this is more

944
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 1: about Maybe this is me talking to Frank Reich. I

945
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's like they rediscovered him in the

946
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: second half last week. You know, I don't know what

947
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: took so long, but they figured it out. He ended

948
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: up with a hundred and forty five rushing yards a

949
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns on the ground. The Niners have been

950
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: sort of middle of the road against running backs. UM.

951
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: I just think if the Colts realize, like, hey, we've

952
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: got this really good running back, we should probably lean

953
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: on him a little bit, uh, you know so, And

954
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: not that you were worried about it, not that you

955
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: weren't starting Nathan Taylor, especially this week. But that's just

956
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: my my seal of endorsement that I think of big

957
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: games coming from him. He's been getting more usage in

958
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: the passing game as well as and Hem Hanes kind

959
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: of fades away a little bit in this offense, and

960
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: I think if he if that continues, I was already

961
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: excited for him. I think he could be a top

962
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: three fantasy back if that continues. And people stopped telling

963
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: me my mentions, Oh, he had a good game. Three

964
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: touches in the first half is inexcusable. Stopping the stop

965
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: stop doing that. Stop doing that people, all right, So

966
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: that gets us through all of our game previews, and

967
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: that means it's time for m v P Picks, presented

968
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: by Visa Network, giving small businesses tools to grow. That

969
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: gives us two hours sleepers. We each have a pair

970
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: who was first on your list? To a tongue of

971
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: I looa, I said earlier, I liked the matchup for

972
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: him this week against the Falcons, and he took advantage

973
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: of a good matchup last week against the Jaguars, throwing

974
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: for three nine yards and two touchdowns. He rushed for

975
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. And what I like Moe is he played

976
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: the whole game. The ribs didn't limit him at all

977
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: because the thing was like it's a pain management thing

978
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: and a hit could knock him out. And he looked great.

979
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: He played fine. I thought he would break out upside

980
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: coming into the year. I continue to think he does,

981
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: and I think this is just a great spot for him.

982
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: I I do think so, and like he's the guy

983
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: that I sort of liked as a QB two and

984
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm hoping this is starting to turn for him a

985
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: little bit right now. We talked about Matt Ryan earlier.

986
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: I said I liked him in Week seven. I think

987
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: he's a sleeper in Week seven, in part because that

988
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense has not been particularly good, in part because

989
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: I do think the Falcons are starting to slowly figure

990
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: some things out on offense. With the combination of those

991
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: two things means that if you are down a quarterback,

992
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: so you have Josh Allen justin Herbert Dak Prescott would

993
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: have you, I think if that is a nice place

994
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: to turn to at least help you get through the

995
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: bye weeks this week, where else are you going with

996
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: a sleeper? Ramondre Stevenson. He was someone I was talking

997
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: of last week as a deep sleeper because I thought

998
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: Damien Harris wasn't a percent and he wasn't. When Stevens

999
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: and got that goal on touch for the touchdown, Harris

1000
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: was in the blue tent. But what I didn't anticipate

1001
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: was Stevenson is the new Brandon Bolden who was playing

1002
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: the role of the new James White. Like since James

1003
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: White went out for the year, Bolden has been the

1004
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: past catching specialists for the Pats. That was not the

1005
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: case last week. It was Stevenson. He had three catches

1006
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: um and the announcers in that game we're talking up

1007
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: like how he has a lot of juice and he

1008
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: provides explosiveness that the Pats are just lacking on offense.

1009
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: I agree. I think he is their most explosive running

1010
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: back and if they're starting to get him the ball

1011
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: now in the passing game, I think that he has

1012
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: flex upside, if not higher each week, because he could

1013
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: just break one and go to distance. You know, all

1014
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: this talk at the beginning of the season is that

1015
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: he was the Garrett Blunt two point out earlier in

1016
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: the season. The only the only similarities they had with

1017
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: that neither one of them was giving the Patriots very

1018
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: much one But along those lines, I'm gonna go with

1019
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: a J. Dillon as my other sleeper, another backup running

1020
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: back who is huge and can you know, get some

1021
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: goal line work there. And we've seen it the last

1022
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: few weeks. Uh, Dylan has sort of taken over that

1023
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams role now that Williams is in Detroit. He

1024
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: had a four or five targets I think a couple

1025
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He's gotten in the end zone. He's

1026
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: had a game with eighty yards. So they're starting to

1027
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: use him more and against a defense in Washington that

1028
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: just has not been very good. Um, I think I

1029
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: think there's an opportunity, especially if you're playing in a

1030
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: deeper league you need a flex option. I think a J.

1031
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: Dillon could could provide some value for you right there.

1032
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: Um there, you know, So those are some sleepers there.

1033
