Speaker 1: to kick off Week three. Back by the time you

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: by the time you likely hear this podcast, week three

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: will have been underway. Dude, Time flies, Time flies. I know, right,

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Like a few weeks ago, we were just like scrambling

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: for any kind of football news we could get. Now

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: we were up to our next in football. Remember how

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: excited I was about Riss Raymond like three weeks ago.

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: Not so much man, not so much behind the glass

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: as always is. Sir Edward L. Murphy esquire, what's up? Murph? Um?

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm at the point now, like I said earlier

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: this week, I'm done with regular football. I'm only focused

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: on fantasy football. But because I'm so close to tasting

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: three and all my main league, and that's when you

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of know your team is for real. I think

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: the first two weeks maybe get lucky here and there,

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: but three, you know, it's like, okay, now you're cooking

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: with gas. So I'm I'm just inching towards that way. Yeah,

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: you're you're a Bills fan, Giants Giants. Okay, that's right, John,

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: because I made funny lass, that's right. I feel like

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: week three like so week one, you know, we we

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of watch and see what happens, and then we

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: wildly overreact one direction. Then week too, something happens we

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: like swing back the other way. So then by week

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: three we're sort of we kind of you know, sit

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. You start seeing you have like, oh wow,

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: maybe Mahomes is awesome, and you're like, oh, Dean Lewis

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: looks like the right guy, James Conner, maybe he's there

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: for ten weeks and you have all these like the

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: two guys in in uh in Minnesota with Thelon and Digs,

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: like you feel really like that's just my team on

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: naming and I'm like, wow, I did a really good job.

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: So I think once you get to like week three,

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: weeks four, then you're like, wow, I have I have

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: some really special here, right exactly. So we you know,

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: we start to figure some things that obviously, you know,

50
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: things change as we should go along, right exactly, but

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, we we kind of by week three we

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: have a good idea of how things go. So I

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: got plenty of talking about we will preview all the

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: games in week three coming up and a special guest.

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Should we say it or should we should we leave

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: it as a surprise. We'll leave it as a surprise,

57
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: but we can tease it by saying that he is

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: one of the best in his business sports entertainment, a

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: current champion, and I'll leave it at that. Okay, cool,

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: We'll leave it at that. So well, stick around for

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: that because I should be a whole lot of fun

62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: coming up. A little bit later on. But uh oh,

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: of course I can't forget. We got Eddie's delirious pick.

64
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: And we'll have some mail bag tweets as well. We'll

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: answer some of your questions from Twitter. But the first

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: let's do some news. We will start in Green Bay.

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in that knee. Of course, I'm sure everybody

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: in the greater Wisconsin area, uh is keeping an eye

69
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: on the knee of Aaron Rodgers. There is some concern

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: that this thing could get worse. We saw him obviously

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: come back against Chicago and play. He got it out

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: against Minnesota and probably a decent game against the very

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: good defense. Uh. This week he's got Washington. I mean,

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I know there's worry, there's concerned, but you know, as

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: long as he's gonna play right, you're you're still playing

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: him right fabbs. Well, it sort of depends on what

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: my alternatives are, because I can tell you right now,

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: if I have Patrick Mahomes on my roster. Okay, Aaron

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers is on the bench this week, and he's on

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: the bench until further notice, to be quite honest with you,

81
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: and if someone right now offered me a trade, say

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: I had Aaron Rodgers, and someone offered me a trade

83
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: that included a pretty good quarterback like a Deshaun Watson

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: or Kirk Cousins or a Mahomes for example, maybe in

85
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: a two for one. I'm thinking about it because this

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: knee is a concern. It's not gonna get better. It's

87
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: not gonna get better, right, He's right, So any hit

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: to that knee, any misstep that Rogers takes, he has

89
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: at least a better chance of injuring himself than a

90
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: quarterback who is otherwise healthy. So you keep putting him

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: out there. He's still Aaron Rodgers, but he's got that

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: big knee brace, and he was definitely a little gimpy.

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't. I mean he's not. He's not himself. So

94
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: I have a little bit concerned. I have no shares

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: of Rodgers, but if I did and someone who was

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: offering me a trade, I might think about it. Yeah.

97
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look, as long as the Packers feel like

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: okay to put him out there, then, and I'm gonna

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: believe just because you know Aaron Rodgers. It's not like

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: remember remember r G three when he hear at his

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: knee and then the skin still played him, right, in

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs and that kind of wrecked him. It's not

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: something that is that severe, but I certainly didn't like

104
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: seeing Aaron Rodgers out there at less than during the

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: course of the football season where he's not really going

106
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: to have time to heal up and get back to Yeah.

107
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: So I I went out and in one league, in

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: our dynasty league, actually I started case Keenum over Aaron Rodgers. Um.

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: It actually ended up not being I mean, Rogers outscored Keen,

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: but it was it was like it was like, you know,

111
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: a point and a half difference, So like it wasn't

112
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: like I wasn't sitting there just like kicking myself because

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: I sat Aaron Rodgers. The difference wasn't really that great.

114
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: So I was okay with it. But I think this week, um,

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm starting Rodgers over keenom you know, with the dot,

116
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: I will take my chance of the Rodgers in that knee. Uh.

117
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: And I feel like most most fantasy manager's gonna do

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: the same. If you've got Aaron Rodgers and he's good

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: enough to play, you are probably going to start, Just

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: so you know, Bills. After the Redskins had Detroit, good

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: matchup San Francisco good matchup, then he has to buy.

122
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Then he's got the Rams, the Patriots, and the Dolphins.

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: So so, but he's up at By hopefully. You know,

124
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: the schedule is a little bit. Schedule is favorable for

125
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: him the next few weeks. So we'll see Leonard Fournette

126
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: set to return to practice. He missed last week with

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: an injury, which has kind of become the story of

128
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: his not only his NFL career, and it was the

129
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: story of his career at l s U two. So

130
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette being back obviously is great if you have

131
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. The downside is if you have any of

132
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars receivers, if you somehow have Blake Bortles, Leonard

133
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: Fournett is great on his own fantasy wise, but he

134
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: kind of clogs up the offense. Blake Bortles is a

135
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: different quarterback. That offense is different when Leonard four completely

136
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: different offense because he's the grinder, he's the between the tackles, bruiser.

137
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Who's behind him? T J Yeldon pass catching running back, right,

138
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Corey Grant, pass catching running back. So the offense completely changes.

139
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: And we saw that last week of Lake Bortles, who

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: looked like to goat against the Patriots and uh and

141
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: had a far better Fantasy game than than Tom Brady.

142
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: But that is something to keep an eye on. If

143
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: were Nett's able to practice on Friday, even if it's

144
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: on a limited basis, then I would say he's probably

145
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: uh ready to go and will be active this weekend

146
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: when he faces the Titans. I went and looked it

147
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: up uh last night. Um the if you ever go

148
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: on Rhodoviz, Rhodovis has their great app where you can

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: kind of figure out splits between players when they are

150
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: on our or not on the field. There's so many

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: sites like that now, it's unreal. It's so much great stuff.

152
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: I was curious out Blake Bortles with or without Leonard

153
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: four net in the last two seasons, and it's drastic

154
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: man Like with with Wonard four net, uh, in the

155
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: fourteen games that they have played together, Bordles averages about

156
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: two passing yards per game. The four games without Leonard

157
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: four Net, Bordles us up to three hundred twenty three

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: yards per game. Right, I mean he goes from averaging

159
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: just over a touchdown per game to averaging just over

160
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. What about the turnovers. I'm wondering. So with

161
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, the averages average is an interception per game.

162
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Without him, it's point to five interceptions per game. So

163
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: he's not even turning the ball over with the prize, right,

164
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: it was a little bit, you think because he's throwing

165
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: it more. I thought his attempts actually were fairly constant.

166
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: He went thirty three three three per game with four

167
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: net thirty four without, so that stay is fairly similar.

168
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: His completions go up though, from nineteen to twenty three,

169
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: so he's just he's like a different person when Leonard

170
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: Fournette's not there. So mean, if you know, if you

171
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: got good numbers out of borders last week, um, you

172
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of want Leonard for to stay away. So I

173
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: don't know. Other running back news, Steve Wilkes says they

174
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: will get David Johnson more slot work. Hallelujah. I'm not

175
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna yell and scream like I did last week because

176
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm sort of over that. But I went back and

177
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: looked at two thousand and sixteen when David Johnson had

178
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: his breakout season and he ran over six hundred routes

179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: that season, and he was like a hundred thirty five

180
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: more routes than the next running back in the NFL.

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: You gotta get him the ball. Are our grand Barfield

182
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: tweeted out earlier in the week a stat about how

183
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: DJs averaging sixteen and a half routes compared to thirty

184
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: one point one two seasons ago. He's your best player,

185
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and David Johnson is the best chance the Cardinals have

186
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: it winning any games, the only chance they have it. Right,

187
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: you gotta give him the ball, man, I mean, even

188
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: when you're down, this guy is a playmaker. You gotta

189
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: get him the football. Help me David Johnson, Really he

190
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: can't is especially now with Larry. If it's Generald not

191
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: being a I'm not sure what his status is going

192
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: to be. I just think things are going to change.

193
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that this is the week that I

194
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: trust him because the Bears just look so ferocious on defense.

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: So this week, I'm I'm kind of scared. I'm kind

196
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: of fading David Johnson. But I just think after after

197
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: what we've seen the first couple of weeks, the Cardinals, No,

198
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: they got to go back to the drawing board. They

199
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: gotta figure something out, and they got to go back

200
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: to what worked in that's moving him around, getting him

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: out in the slot, just getting him in space. I mean,

202
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: you look at his rush chart. You gotta next gen stats.

203
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: You look at his rush chart, and it's just all

204
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: just pounding it up the middle repeatedly and and nothing work.

205
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: They can't keep doing that, Yeah, they can't continue to

206
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: use him as like a between the tackles runner. Dude,

207
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: he can do it, all right, You just you just

208
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: got to use him. Then. Uh, t Y Hilton calls

209
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: his quad injury quote nothing to worry about. So that's

210
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: good news. I mean, you know, t Y has had

211
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good start to his season. Now that Andrew

212
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: Luck is back and you know, kind of have him

213
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit. Um, So t Y, if

214
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: he's he's available, you're starting him, right, Yeah, no doubt.

215
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is the quarterback of the Colts, and as

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: long as that happens, t Y Hilton is a guy

217
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: that you're starting. Uh. You know, there was some talk

218
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: earlier in the week about the quad potentially being a problem,

219
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: but he was actually on this morning on Good Morning

220
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Football and talk to our pals there in New York

221
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: and and said that he's good to go. All right,

222
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: sounds good there. Dalvin Cook missed practice for the Minnesota Vikings.

223
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: I mean, he has kind of been banged up a

224
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: little bit to start the season. We saw him kind

225
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: of get some rest in the preseason a little bit.

226
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: Um this one, I don't know. I feel like it's

227
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a concern because here it

228
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: is Thursday, he's missing practice, and it's a situation where

229
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: with the Bills on the schedual, you and I are

230
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: just in sympathical, right. Look, obviously, you know we want

231
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook to play, and I'm sure that in the

232
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: perfect world, the Vikings would love for him to play.

233
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: But I feel like this is a week they can

234
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: look at and say, you know what, we can kind

235
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: of get by without Alvin Cook. I picked up Murray

236
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: in every league I could, including ours, and I dropped

237
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: my defense, and I'll pick one up Sunday whatever, because

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: if Dalvin Cook is inactive, Latavius Murray's a top twelve

239
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: running back start this week right against the Bills. Let's

240
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: not forget Latavis Murray is pretty good last season. Let's

241
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: not forget that. Yeah, Jered McKinnon there, but Murray was

242
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: was the better back from a fantasy perspective. So if

243
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: you're listening to this right now and you have a

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: dead spot on your roster, someone you can drop. You're

245
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: hurting for a running back or reflection starter, go out

246
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: and pick up with Tavias Murray before the run happens.

247
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Because if Cook misses practice on Friday, I promise you

248
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: that run will happen. Yeah. I I agree with that,

249
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: especially because this is a game where the you know,

250
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: it's likely the Vikings are gonna take a lead. And

251
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: so this means Latavius Murray just eating carries halfe just

252
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: eating carries. Huh. And and I love Dalvin, he's my boy.

253
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: But I would not be surprised if they said it's hey, guys,

254
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: the week off. Relax, chill, take the week off. Don't

255
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: don't stress yourself. We were gonna need you down the road.

256
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: We'll take it from here for a week. I think, well,

257
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine. Last bit of news. Marcus

258
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: Mariotta still a question mark for week three. I saw,

259
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: in fact a couple of days ago. Uh, he's still

260
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: kind of trying to get the feeling back in his hand.

261
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: He had a an elbow injury. I think there's some

262
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: nerves that kind of got pinched a little bit, so

263
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of getting the feeling back in his hand.

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: And one of the things he said was he was

265
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: trying to get the strength back in his hand so

266
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: we could grip the football, which sound good. That seems

267
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: like a problem when you're a quarterback and you can't

268
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: grip the football. Right. Are there any Titans you're starting

269
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: this week? Any Uh? Not really, although I do think

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: that you know, if you're rolling the dice with that backfield,

271
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: this feels like more of a Derrick Henry week than

272
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: a Dion Lewis Pounder week, right, especially because I feel like,

273
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, the thing for me with the Titans is

274
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: they still have some injuries at the tackle spots. I mean,

275
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Taylor Lauan still working through the concussion protocol. Um. You know,

276
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: they got guys with knee injuries there. You know, there's

277
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure that out. And I think

278
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: if they struggle to protect the passer, then that means

279
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is going to be more of a pass

280
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: protector than a pass catcher. They're gonna even back there

281
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: to try to try to help out whoever it is,

282
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: if it's Mariota, if it's Blaine Gabbert. So I think

283
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: it's a situation where when Lewis is on the field,

284
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: he might not be running as many routes as he

285
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: normally does, and if he's not catching the football, then

286
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: his value is pretty limited. So there we go. That's

287
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: pretty much all the news you need to know. Speaking

288
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: of Dean Lewis, I actually went and a couple of

289
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: days ago, I was looking at his his game from

290
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: week two when he was kind of a disappointment. Um.

291
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: And the great thing is having a subscription to game Pass.

292
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here and be a company corporate show

293
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: for a little bit because there's a players there's a

294
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: players search feature in game Pass, and it allows you

295
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to bring up every play that a certain player has

296
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: been involved in going all the way back to twenty eleven,

297
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: so you can scout specific players, you can find the

298
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: next breakout Fantasy football star. You can figure out how

299
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: certain players are being used within their respective offenses or defenses. UH,

300
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: to kind of give you a better idea of you know,

301
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do, certainly for fantasy going forward, but

302
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: also just to kind of make you a more informed

303
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: football fans. So, uh, game Pass is great. I love it.

304
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you can go back and

305
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: watch a whole game in about thirty five minutes with

306
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: the condensed game feature. It certainly helps. Uh you know,

307
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: when you're trying to scout a whole lot of things

308
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: at once and you don't necessarily get to watch it

309
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: but to do right, and you don't get necessary to

310
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: watch a game from start to finish. Um, so yeah,

311
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I would definitely check it out. If you don't have

312
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: game Pass already, I would suggest you, uh you get

313
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: on it and uh yeah, enjoy enjoy all the goodness.

314
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Joining us now on the phone. You know him. He

315
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: is the w w E interc to Nitsel champion. He

316
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: is a w w E superstar, and he is a

317
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: huge Chicago Bears fan. Welcome to the program, Seth Rolin, Seth,

318
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: how are you today? Man? I'm good. They got a

319
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: big Bears win last Sunday or Monday, so I'm feeling

320
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty r right. I mean, I would imagine

321
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: you have to know some Raider fans, right, are you

322
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: trolling them now? Because Khalil McK is just wrecking shop

323
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: all by himself. Oh yeah, my favorite. Today. I saw

324
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: quotes from an interview recruit and said it was difficult

325
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: to find a great path, and then my brain almost exploded.

326
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: It's almost like he's trolling himself. Yeah, no doubt about

327
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: that man. And Uh, being a big Bears fan like

328
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: you are, you also play fantasy football. You're playing at

329
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: least one league w W with the MS and Curtis

330
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: Axel and some others, and Trabinsky is on that roster.

331
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: So what are you expecting from Trabinsky, not only this

332
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: week against the Cardinals but moving forward. Uh, well, he

333
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: obviously still making improvements. Sometimes I think I'm a little

334
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: too hard on him. Obviously take very high in the draft.

335
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of expectations behind that. But at the

336
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, the kid only started one season

337
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: in college. His NFL experience is very limited. He's already

338
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: at two head coaches. So sometimes I want him to

339
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: be better than I think he is. And he didn't

340
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: miss some measy throws on Monday in Seattle. But at

341
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you can see progress. Uh,

342
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: He's obviously got things to work on, but I think

343
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: as he gets more comfortable in Matt Max system, He's

344
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: only gonna put up better numbers and he got a

345
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: ton of weapons around him to to make plays. So

346
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how the Bears offense looks

347
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: kind of halfway through the season. I think it's gonna

348
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: be much improved. Yeah, I mean, you talk about some

349
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: of those weapons. I mean we've seen Allen Robinson there,

350
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: We've seen Jordan Howard. I mean talk about Jordan Howard.

351
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that everybody complaining he

352
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: doesn't catch the football a whole lot, But it looks

353
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: like Matt Ndie has worked him into the passing game

354
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: pretty well this year. You've got to be excited about that. Yeah.

355
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: I think myself and fantasy owners who are concerned about

356
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Howarth touches in this offense are probably pretty happy

357
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: about that. UM. As a Bears fan, I love it.

358
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I know, Jordan Howard worked on

359
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: that a lot in the off season, knowing that he

360
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: was going to be involved in a West Coast offense team.

361
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: We're running backs to get a lot of catches out

362
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and we didn't want to reac and

363
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: steal in his playing time, so I think the more

364
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: he's out there, the better you know it is for

365
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: him and for the team, because he does have a

366
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: lot to offer, super patient back and I think that

367
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: translates really well to the West Coast passing teams as

368
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: long as he can catch the ball and run good routes.

369
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on Trey Burton this week

370
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: against Arizona? Last week, he has had a big target share,

371
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: but he did get into the ends on a shovel

372
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: pass early in the game. Uh, You're expecting more of

373
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: the same from Burton against the Cardinals. Yeah, I mean

374
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Uh, they're not a great team. You know,

375
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: let's let's just space it. Obviously they're OBUs they're in

376
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: a rebuilding stage right now. So I think that, um,

377
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I hope that it's kind of a not an easy

378
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, or nothing in the NFL is easy per

379
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: day unless you're playing the Buffalo Bills. But I think

380
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: hopefully it's it's a little bit easier than you know,

381
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: a rivalry game in Green Bay and Seattle defens not

382
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: what it was, still a good defense. I'm hoping this

383
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: week is a little bit easier and we get to

384
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of see the offense. Uh, expand a little bit.

385
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to see some bigger plays out of the

386
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Shio Bears offense, including Trey Burton. I think he's such

387
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: a great weapon down the middle of the field that

388
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to I'd like to get some deeper balls

389
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: to him. You're talking a little bit about the the

390
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: defense and Khalil Mack, but the Stevens actually is more

391
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, Eddie Goldman has played really well.

392
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: I know, you know obviously, you know, Kyle Fuller had

393
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: that that frustrating drop against Green Bay. But this is

394
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: still a very good defense. I mean, should we start

395
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: talking about them among the elite defenses in the NFL

396
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: right now? I mean I'm maybe slightly biased, I say yes.

397
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, their corners are great. Mukamara is finally healthy, Fuller,

398
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, got a big contract in the off season. Uh,

399
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson a second year's safety, fantastic. Adrian Amos is

400
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: great back there as well. And then I think if

401
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: you look at their front seven, dude, it's really incredible

402
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: their linebacking corps. When you added Mac in there, You're

403
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: looking at the Leonard Floyd, Danger Faith and Roquan Smith

404
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: and Khalil Mack and there and their linebacking corps. That's

405
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: pretty outrageous. Couple that with Eddie Goldman and Kim Hicks

406
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: up front. I mean, that is so hard to block, Like,

407
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't I would not want to be an offensive

408
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: linement or running back trying to deal with that. And

409
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Vic Fancio is a great schemer. So I think they're

410
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, they were a top ten defense

411
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: last year. I think especially with the amount of havoc,

412
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to reak in the backfield. Just

413
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: with their creative blitzes and Khalil Max constantly putting pressure

414
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. You're gonna look at them to force

415
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot more turnovers this year as well as just

416
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: hopefully holding teams to less yardage. We're talking to w

417
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: W superstar Seth Rollins and super fan for the Chicago Bears. So, Seth,

418
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: I know that you play in this w W week

419
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: fantasy football league. Um, is there one or two of

420
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: the guys in that league that you really like beating

421
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: more than the rest? And can I guess that one

422
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: of them is mss Oh, yeah, the most the most

423
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: fun to beat, like as by far, as the biggest

424
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: mouth of the group. Um, and so it's fun to

425
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: take him to the wood shit. Uh. You know. And

426
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: he's also a Cleveland Browns fan, so he's had a

427
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: fair share of heartbreak over the years. Um and he's

428
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: used to it, so you know, he takes it in stride.

429
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: So it's nice I beat him in the ring playing times,

430
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: oh man, And I plan on working him in fantasy

431
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: this year as well. Yeah. So we've got to get

432
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: a program going here with you and Mike again. And

433
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: it should just be all based on the fact that

434
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: miss talks trash in your fantasy football league and you're

435
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna take it out on him in the ring. I mean,

436
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: do I really need one more reason to beat up Mike?

437
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: But that's what we gotta do, and that's what we

438
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: gotta do. I will say that beating Mike is one

439
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: of the more enjoyable parts of playing in a fantasy

440
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: football league with him. It's a lot, it's quite fun.

441
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: It's quite an enjoyable experience. So I've seen your Twitter

442
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: account and I know that when the Bears win, you

443
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: tweet that you love football. After they lose, you tweet

444
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: that that you hate football. Um. But this This has

445
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: to be a year that there's there's a lot more

446
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: optimism around this team than there has been the last

447
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: couple of years. You gotta be excited about this group. Yeah,

448
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's really strange. Was how how strangely um

449
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: like weird that's become people like really like it when

450
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: I when I know it, dude gets tons of retweets. Yeah,

451
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: it's very strange. It's it's so expected, but for some

452
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: reason people really enjoy it and are entertained by it

453
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: no matter what. Obviously, Week one, the loss the Packers

454
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: was uh, people were just waiting on that one because

455
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: it was such a hard breaker. Um. But yeah, beyond that,

456
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: I've actually really excited with the Bears team this year.

457
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: And like I kind of was, I'm always on the

458
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: edge of being excited, but I never want to put

459
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: too much stock in it because the Bearers are still

460
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: the Bears sometimes. But after we traded for Mac, I

461
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: was I couldn't help but get excited. And then I

462
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: watched the first half of that far practice game and

463
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this is a team to

464
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: contend with. And granted we lost to you know, a

465
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: football god and and Rogers have that game at Lambeau.

466
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, if

467
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: there's no reason the Barras can't be too no, hopefully, Uh,

468
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, two and one halfter this week in Arizona.

469
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: And then looking at the rest of the schedule, I

470
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: really think they're gonna play Green Day um and Minnesota

471
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: really well, Detroit's not that great this year, having some

472
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: trouble under Ma Patricia so uh. And then looking at

473
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the schedule, they got some decent games

474
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: that they should be able to win. I don't see

475
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: any reason why they either can't contend for the division

476
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: this year or at least a wild card spot. So

477
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Barriers football, which is something I haven't

478
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: been able to say for the past few years. So

479
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm pretty stoked about it. Absolutely. W Superstar seth Rawlins,

480
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: seth appreciate your time. Good luck in the ring, good

481
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: luck in fantasy man. Hope we can chat again at

482
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: some point. Thanks brother, Thank you guys, take care. Thanks

483
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: to seth Rawlins for his time. That was a lot

484
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: of fun that conversation there. Uh. Football season is underway

485
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure a lot of us already have some

486
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: major regrets about our season long fantasy teams, like you know,

487
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: drafting a lot of Alex Smith and staring at your

488
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: roster like uh, It's like you spent all offseason researching

489
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: and getting excited for the season and then the pain comes.

490
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: Which that's why you should be excited to be playing

505
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: we will look at some Week three games we will

506
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: start with one of the NFC South Saints Falcons. This

507
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: is I know, for the folks who've lived in that

508
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: part of the country, this is a huge rivalry. For

509
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: the rest of us who don't necessarily have a rooting interest,

510
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: it's an intriguing one, especially from a fantasy perspective. Um,

511
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: because these two teams tend to go back and forth

512
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit. And I would say this, so, if

513
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: you had to pick a Saint that's not Drew Brees,

514
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, who would you Who would you

515
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: go with this week? Ted ginn Okay because of his

516
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: skills as a vertical threat and someone who can hit

517
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: the home run at any time. And we know as

518
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense is banged up, Uh, they've already lost two starters,

519
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: So game would be my guy. Yeah, I would probably

520
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: think so too. About Will Lutt. I mean I have

521
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Will that's I have. So I have Will lots in

522
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, just because you know, the Saints

523
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: seem to be an offense that's gonna score a lot

524
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: of points, and so why not have their kicker? Um,

525
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: I still have the Saints defense, which has let me

526
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: down the first couple of weeks. Yeah, Yeah, that's been

527
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: a disappointment. They were a huge disappointment in Week one

528
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: when and Ryan Dan Marino Fitzpatrick exploded on obvious because

529
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: I know I had them as a streamer, A lot

530
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: of people had them as a streamer, and then last

531
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: week not much. So we'll see. I'm certainly not starting

532
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: them on the road against Atlanta. Speaking of Atlanta, Julio

533
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: Jones was kind of dealing with a calf injury and

534
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: practice this week. He says it's not a big deal

535
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: if he just needed like a day off to kind

536
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: of rest it and get a little bit better. So

537
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to play. Then the question

538
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: is does he score touch do on this week? I

539
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: don't he does he ever started touchdowns? I mean, I mean,

540
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: I guess the dude is do right, I mean, he's

541
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: got to be do. But Julio, and this is why

542
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: I have no shares of them. I wasn't in a

543
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: position to draft him really, not that I wouldn't know

544
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: if if I were, But I had him last season

545
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm still just a little bit uh apprehensive

546
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: because I remember what he did to me last season,

547
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: and it was not fun. When he put up a

548
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: huge game, you almost knew there was going to be

549
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: two or three stinkers coming right on the heels at

550
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: that big one. And what did you do in a

551
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Week one against Philly? Big game last week and not

552
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: so much so. Uh, clearly Julio is a guy you're starting.

553
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: That's an absolute no brainer. Whether or not he gets

554
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: into the end zone, well we shall see. Mr Sarkisian,

555
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: if you were within the sound of my voice, throw

556
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: the ball to Julio when you get into the tin

557
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: yard line. Like, I just don't think it's hard. You

558
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: have this physically imposing wide receiver who is one of

559
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: the best at his positions in the league. Why wouldn't

560
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: you just Like, here's the thing. One thing that that

561
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: just drives me insane watching football games is when teams

562
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: run wide receiver fades to the corner of the end zone.

563
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, I watched the forty Niners in the Super

564
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Bowl do it three times to Michael Crabtree and end

565
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: up losing to the Ravens. Like It's still drives me

566
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: insane to this day. But if you're gonna do it,

567
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: do you have the guy? By Julio Jones makes sense.

568
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: He's huge, He's He's a physically imposing guy who is

569
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: incredibly athletic. I mean, he is an athletic freak at

570
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: six three to twenty. If you're gonna throw the faith

571
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: throw to Julio Jones, I don't know. So look at this.

572
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking on Pro Football Reference, one of my favorites.

573
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: Last twelve games, He's had a touchdown in one. Okay,

574
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: and then in the previous eight games two touchdowns. That

575
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: seems bad. I mean it's Julio Jones. But I don't know.

576
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm just a fantasy analyst. What do I know? So

577
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man Sark, help us out. But Devin Coleman,

578
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: Devin Coleman definitely a big deal. Get him in your

579
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: lineup actually, because looks like DeVante Freeman may not play

580
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: it this week. And he also has done very well

581
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: historically against the Saints. So yeah, Devin Coleman, like I

582
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, I've got him in a couple of leagues, uh,

583
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: and I am starting him wherever I can this week

584
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: green Bay the backers and in Washington to take on

585
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: the Redskins. And so the thing about Green Bay, Aaron

586
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Jones is back after a suspension for the first couple

587
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season. He is now back, so

588
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: that's sort of clouds things a little bit. Jamal Williams

589
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: had a couple of rough matchups, didn't perform all that

590
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: well in the first two weeks of the season. So

591
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: now this is just a big clouded mess. I feel

592
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: like in this backfield, you know, McCarthy said. Mike McCarthy

593
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: said that it was gonna be Jamal Williams and Time

594
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: Montgomery and then Aaron Jones will be third. But at

595
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: some point it's gonna switch because Williams and Montgomery have

596
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: done nothing to take hold of the top spot on

597
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: the depth chart. I believe at some point, sooner rather

598
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: than later, Aaron Jones will take that spot. Whether or

599
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: not he needs to improve in pass protection, okay, that's

600
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: a question mark, but he's the most talented running back

601
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: on that roster. Best case scenario, he ends up being

602
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: the guy within a couple of weeks. You pick up up.

603
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Now you stash him. You see what happens. Worst case scenario,

604
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: backfield committee, you're not starting any Packers running back, right,

605
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: And that was the thing, and you know, I know

606
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: everybody was sort of you know, planting their flag one

607
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: side or the other. This Jamal Williams Aaron Jones debate,

608
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: and I just sort of looked at both of them

609
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, like, I don't really know that I

610
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: love them now. The one thing you did mention, I

611
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: think is an interesting dynamic though, is which one of

612
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: them is the better pass protector? And I think what

613
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: where that comes into play is now you have a

614
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that healthy. Ye, great point. And now you know,

615
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: if you're the Packers, you want to make sure Aaron

616
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers stays healthy, right, which means that Aaron Jones may

617
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: lose snaps. You end up losing snaps if you can't

618
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: figure out pass protection, so let me Jamal Williams may

619
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: end up being on the field. But either way, I

620
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't know that either one of

621
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: these guys is great enough for me to like, you know,

622
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm looking at their numbers from last year.

623
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams in sixteen games, five fifty six rushing yards,

624
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones in twelve games. We'll see. I mean they

625
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: both they both average people than forty rushing yards per game, right,

626
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Jones when he got a shot to

627
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: start was was pretty decent. He was averaging ballpark thirteen

628
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: PPR points per game, but it was a limited sample size.

629
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: On the flip side, Alex Smith Adrian Peterson both great

630
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: and week one um not so great in week two?

631
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: What are you thinking in week three? I'm fading Peterson

632
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: because if you look at the numbers, the snap share

633
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: was heavily, heavily in favor of Chris Thompson last week,

634
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: as it should be because he's the better back. I mean,

635
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: let's just be honest and Alex Smith, see like I

636
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: liked him last week. I think you may have liked

637
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: him last week because of the matchup didn't pan out.

638
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: But we're still holding onto the Alex Smith in our heads.

639
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: This is not this is not the Chiefs, this is

640
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: not that offense. So we have to and and the

641
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: matchup this week. I mean, based on the numbers, it's

642
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup. It is if you look at the numbers,

643
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: it's a favorable matchup. But you have to temper your

644
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: expectations a little bit with Alex Smith until we sort

645
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: of see what he is this season in his first

646
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: year in Washington's offense. That lacks Tyreek Hill and doesn't

647
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: have a big time playmaking tight end like Travis Kelsey.

648
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed is a nice player, he's not Travis Kelsey. Yeah,

649
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I came into the season thinking

650
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: that with the way the Redskins run their offense and

651
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: Alex Smith could kind of be similar to what we

652
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: saw last year. But no, No, he's back to being

653
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Alex Smith the game, which you know, he's fine, he's fine,

654
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: he's fine, It's it's okay, it's fine. Like I don't

655
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: get excited about him. And it sort of burns me

656
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: now because I was really big on him in the

657
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: preseason and I have him on a lot of rosters

658
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at I look at these rosters now

659
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: when I do my line us, and I'm like, Alex

660
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: Smith is being back to He's back to being Alex

661
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: Smith on sexy. Last season, he was one of the

662
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: sex year quarterbacks in the league. This season, not so much.

663
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Not so much. All right, Bills at Vikings, Um, I

664
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: know we talked a little bit about Dalvin Cook and

665
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: whether or not he will play, and you know that's

666
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be wanted to keep an eye on throughout the weekend,

667
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: and you know it would not be a surprise if

668
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: he sat that one out. I mean, I don't know.

669
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: This is kind of simple, like any bills you consider starting,

670
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: any any Mike things you'd consider sitting. Well, let me

671
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: think now, I would start Kirk Cousins. I would start

672
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: whoever the running back is, whether it's Dalvin or Latavious.

673
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm starting Feeling, I'm starting Diggs, I'm starting Rudolph, I'm

674
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: starting the Vikings defense, and I'm starting Dan Bailey. So

675
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm not starting Lakwan Treadwell though. So there you go,

676
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: and they'll probably have to touchdown. There's a Viking that

677
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: you're not starting. We forgot to mention Dan Bailey is

678
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: he is now Viking. I love it, man. I actually

679
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: picked him up in the leagues where I don't have

680
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: Robbie Gold because I have Robbie Gold everywhere because I

681
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: love him. I played fantasy football and he's been balling

682
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: ever since Scroppolo took over. But I do believe that

683
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: this is a match made not only in football heaven,

684
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: but fantasy football heaven. Dan Bailey is going to have

685
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: a chance to score a lot of fantasy points in Minnesota.

686
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: No doubt. The Vikings sort of whipped on Kicker, right

687
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: because they had Kai for bath he wasn't I know,

688
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: and they let him go, but I mean, I mean

689
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: they upgraded eventually. Eventually they m Bailey Carlson Carlson Uggle

690
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: and then after his his misses last week against the Packers,

691
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: they sent him pack. So so what do you think happen?

692
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: All right? So, if you're Dan Bailey, you're hanging out

693
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: at home right, just chilling out watching games. You're watching

694
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 1: Zane Gonzalez implode, You're watching Daniel Carson and your phone

695
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: is just buzzing, right and so, and then your phone

696
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: rings and it's the Browns. Hey Dan, how are you

697
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: doing buddy? Um? Yeah, so we're probably gonna cut our kicker.

698
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: Uh what do you think about maybe coming out to

699
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: uh wait, you're kind of breaking up? Yeah, can you

700
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: call me? Can you call me? Let me call me back?

701
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: Ten lights, come me back? Okay, Okay. Ten minutes later,

702
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: phone rings again. It's the Vikings. Hey, Dan Vikings here? Um?

703
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Daniel Carson era short lived? Any chance

704
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: you want to come to the Minnesota? Yeah? Where do

705
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: I sign? Sure? Yeah, I'll pay for the flight. I'll

706
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: be on the first Okay, let's go. You're the first

707
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: flight out. That's it. So it's such a perfect fit,

708
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey. Uh, should should get plenty of opportunities in

709
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: this offense, should get or should get plenty of our

710
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: any bills you're starting, No, none, not a single one, nothing,

711
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: not a single one. Wasteland. You know, I don't know.

712
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I'm trying to conjure

713
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: up a scenario in my head where maybe, no, I'm

714
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: trying to think maybe maybe like in DFS, like I

715
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: I give Jones, say Jones a run, or you know,

716
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin had a garbage time touchdown, because I mean, look,

717
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: I can see a situation where Josh Allen is just

718
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: standing back there and just slinging it down field because

719
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: they're behind and they got to catch up. So like

720
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: I could see him getting some big plays downfield. But no, no,

721
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: I it is yeah, it is a and and even

722
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: if Lashawn McCoy is active, which it kind of seems

723
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: like he might be because he's been practicing on a

724
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: limited basis, I'm not touching him. I am not touching him.

725
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: We're talking about we'll talk about the Vikings sitting Dalvin

726
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: Cook in this situation, it's almost like, why would you

727
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: run Lashawn McCoy, I know, play Chris Ivory. No one's

728
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna pick him up and play him, not against that

729
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: defense unless you're desperate. He's not healthy. It's a terrible matchup. Um.

730
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team that hasn't you know,

731
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: there's no designs on them making the playoffs? Why would

732
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: you risk Why would you risk him this week? So?

733
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, And then you could also argue if

734
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: that's the case, might not just play him every week?

735
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: Don't don't play him at all. Hey, in Week sixteen, Shady,

736
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna be feeling great. They're gonna be feeling great.

737
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 1: We're out of the playoffs. We'll get you healthy man.

738
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: Raiders at Dolphins' Mariti Cooper. Do you believe? I don't know.

739
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe, like I said in

740
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: the preseason that he would bounce back and stinker in

741
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: Week one and then last week with ten targets, ten catches,

742
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 1: over hunted yards against the Broncos. But you didn't see

743
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: coming and the Dolphins defense, I don't know what to

744
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: make of them. Yet I really don't because like in

745
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 1: Week one, like that, the whole mess with the game

746
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: lasted like ten hours and they didn't really face a

747
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: great offense, and then last week they faced the rookie quarterbacks.

748
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what to make of the Dolphins

749
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: defense right now, and that'll be one of the things

750
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: that I'm certainly looking for this week because now you

751
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: have Derek Carr coming in. Derek here actually had a

752
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: good real football game last week. Yes, not a good

753
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: fantasy football game. So if you, I guess, if you're

754
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: if you're talking about Raiders, the best play is going

755
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: to be beast mode. Um, assuming he's he's out there

756
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: and he's been banged up, you should be fine. There.

757
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I say Jared Cook again, I mean he didn't play,

758
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play up to expectations last week. But you

759
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: can say whatever you like. I mean, they're targeting him.

760
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I just

761
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: can't buy into a map like maybe maybe it happens then,

762
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: like I because remember we were last year, right, he

763
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: didn't do anything and he had to do it. I

764
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: remember had the huge Thursday night game against the Chiefs

765
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: when we had pretty much given up on him, and

766
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: then if you tried to go back to the well,

767
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: he went back to being nothing. I remember that because

768
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: I drafted Mary Cooper in our experts league and I

769
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: tried to get rid of them all season. I remember

770
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: that was the week that I was like, Sida, Mari Cooper,

771
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do anything, and then he goes berserk

772
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: against Kansas City inst Kansas. I think we all had

773
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: the same situation really, like this is really really and

774
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins side of the ball, so Keny Drink

775
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: is still losing touches to Frank Or, but it's really

776
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: not enough to put a massive dent in his value

777
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: where you're not really going to consider starting him. He's

778
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: still on the RB two sort of borderline uh flex

779
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: starter option this week and Kenny Stills and we talked

780
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: about Amari Cooper. Do we believe in Kenny Stills. I

781
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: do believe in Kenny Stills this week? Um, I mean

782
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: partially because the Raiders secondary can be had. Um. Look,

783
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really, I don't really know what

784
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: happened last week with them kind of slowing down case

785
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: Keenum and the Broncos a little bit like I don't.

786
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened, but I I'm also

787
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: hard pressed to think it happens two weeks in a row.

788
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Also throwing the fact that, uh, the Raider, it's it's

789
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: the West Coast team traveling east playing a ten am

790
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: body clock game. Hum, it always seems to work out

791
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: badly for those teams, So like that doesn't seem the

792
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: bode well for them. And actually that that makes for me.

793
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: That makes the Dolphins kind of a sleeper defense, could

794
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: be for defense to stream just because those you know,

795
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: those West Coast teams going east and playing that early

796
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: game always seem to struggle. So I kind of believe

797
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: in Kenny Stills. I would say if you're streaming defenses,

798
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins might not be a bad place to look

799
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, no doubt about that. And Kenny Stills,

800
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: I say he's at three this week. Um, I'm not

801
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: huge on him, and um our friends over at Pro

802
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Football Focus have a negative grade on that matchup this week,

803
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But Stills is at least you would

804
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: think going to see four to five targets. He never

805
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: sees a ton of targets because that's just not what

806
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: and We also have to see what the status of

807
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker is because if DeVante Parker comes back, not

808
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: that not that it means that Kenny steals his value

809
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: is in the toilet, because DeVante Parker he's the one

810
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: whose value is in the toilet. But I mean, he's

811
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: still a guy that drafted in the first round. He's

812
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: still on the roster on a team that really lacks

813
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: the number one. I would think they're going to try

814
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: to at least get him somewhat involved in the passing game.

815
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: But that will uh, that will all pan out here

816
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: in time. So keep tabs on the status of de

817
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: Bondie Parker uh as well. Who knows Marcus. If he

818
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: comes out and is active and is targeted seven or

819
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: eight times, maybe we're talking about him next week being

820
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: a waiver wire pickup. Guess we shall see. I know

821
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: you and I and everyone in fantasy football have been burned.

822
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this for a few years now,

823
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: and like it hasn't ever happened. I'm like, I'm looking

824
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: through his game logs right like, um, they're ugly, they are,

825
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: Like the most targets he's ever had in the game

826
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: is thirteen. That was in. He's among this this whole

827
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: sort of like first round NFL draft wide receiver bus

828
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: just this just hasn't They just haven't worked out, man.

829
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see what happens there. Broncos at Ravens.

830
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: All Right, I don't know, do you really want to

831
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: talk about? This is the Royce Freeman dream dead? And

832
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: I know this is gonna hurt you to talk about

833
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: if it makes you feel any better, I gotta talk

834
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: about Alex Collins that that is kind of breaking my heart.

835
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: So like we both have some pain here. I mean

836
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: when you say the dream is over, it just makes

837
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: me think of a Van Halen song. But anyways, that's

838
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: my whole eighties hair band brain working there. But look

839
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: at the numbers, Marcus, and that's what we do, right.

840
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: He's kind of been usurved by Philip Lindsay. Uh, Freeman

841
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: seen fewer snaps if you were touches. Lindsay looks like

842
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: the better playmaker. They are not using Freeman at all

843
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game. He's very one dimensional. And the

844
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: only hope that you can get a decent stat line

845
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: from Royce Freeman is if they give him the ball

846
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: near the goal line. Which they have on on some

847
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: occasions over the first couple of weeks. But even that

848
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: with the matchup in Baltimore, tough matchup. If I had

849
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: to play one of the two, it's lindsay, listen, man,

850
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: I'll eat Crow. I'm not the only fantasy. And also

851
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: really liked Royce Freeman. You were right, you were right.

852
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you that, you were right, But um, I

853
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: I can't play him right now. I just can't. I

854
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: don't have the trust in him. Maybe something will change,

855
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: not not right now, I can't trust him. Yeah, it's

856
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: just it's just really hard. You gotta you have to

857
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: get those goal line here and against Baltimore. Yeah, yeah,

858
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: it's just not a good matchup. Speaking of which, Alex

859
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: Collins and this is the guy that I really liked,

860
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: and I was drafting him all over the place, like

861
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: grabbing him like in the fifth round, trying to make

862
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: him an RB two. It's just, you know, so like

863
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 1: last year, they rotated opportunities with him and Buck Allen,

864
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: but you kind of felt like, Okay, it was like

865
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: that happened last year because they had injuries ahead of

866
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: those two guys, and they're still just trying to figure

867
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: out how this thing would work. And as Alex Collins

868
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: started to take control of that backfield late in the season,

869
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: it just seemed to be pointing toward, you know, Alex

870
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: Collins being the guy and giving all those touches, and

871
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: so far it hasn't happened. So the only thing, the

872
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 1: reason I'm holding out some hope is because the first

873
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: two games were really weird. Right, Like that first game

874
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: they ran out of such a big lead against the

875
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: Bills that they kind of treated it like a preseason

876
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: you know. It's like they kind of sat a lot

877
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: of guys. They didn't play Collins much in the second

878
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: half of at all. They got Buck Allen involved, they

879
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: got Dixon involved, so you thought, okay, well this is

880
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of a weird game, don't really worry about it.

881
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: The didn't we too. They played on Thursday that against

882
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and the Bengals ran off to a huge lead,

883
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: and it was like, okay, well, now this turns into

884
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: a Buck Allen games. They've got to throw it in.

885
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: Allan's more the pass catcher, and so it's like, all right, well,

886
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: maybe we can just call this some weirdness and kind

887
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: of shake it off. But I don't know. I'm starting

888
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: to get this feeling that Buck Allen is sort of

889
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: here to stay and that this is this is a

890
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: committee more than I thought it would be coming into

891
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: the season, that maybe Alex Collins has a lower ceiling

892
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: than I wanted to admit to. And you know what,

893
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: to Marcus, the thing that hurts the most, he's not

894
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: getting goal line work. Don't Buck Allen? Buck Allen? And

895
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: weird to me because right because when you think of

896
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: of Buck, you're thinking pass catcher, third down, back, compliment

897
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: to reback. But he's getting goal line work ahead of

898
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, who during the broadcast last week they were

899
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: comparing to Maryan barber Well and the other thing about it,

900
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: and look, man, Buck Bucks the USC guy, right, So

901
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: I want to try to cheer for him. I love it.

902
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: But the one thing about Buck Allen, he does not

903
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: break tackles. He does not break tackles. He will he

904
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: will catch the ball out of the backfielder, he'll get

905
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: a handoff, and the first bit of contact he runs

906
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: into he gets stood up and like pushed back, and

907
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: so like using him at the goal line just it

908
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: just seems nonsensical, like why would you want a guy

909
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: at the goal line who can't run people over? We

910
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: can't who can't you know, push forward and like bowl

911
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: into the end zone like he's gonna the line and

912
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: gets stood up and push backwards. That just doesn't seem

913
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: to make sense. So I don't I don't understand it.

914
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Bengals at Panthers, Uh, we've seen

915
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: good Andy Dalton, We've seen bad Andy Dalton. Like last

916
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: week was definitely good Andy Dalton. At least that was exceptional.

917
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: Um So do we get good Andy or bad Andy

918
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: against the Panthers this week? Man, I don't think this

919
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be a high scoring game. I think this

920
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: is gonna be bad Andy. This is a faith for me,

921
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: to be quite honest. The the best play in Cincinnati

922
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: is always going to be a j Green. But then

923
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: you go to Giovanni Bernard, who's gonna see touches. I

924
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: don't think Mark Walton puts in a big dent into

925
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: those touches. So ge O to me is a very

926
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: solid start just based on volume alone. But Dalton is

927
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: just not someone that I'm there with right now. I

928
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: don't trust him outside of a very favorable matchup. In

929
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: Week one, we liked him against the Colts because the

930
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: matchup was there. In a Week two, no one started

931
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. No one started Andy Dalton. Not nobody did

932
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: division game on a Thursday night, like exactly, it's the Ravens,

933
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: which I mean, you're just don't do it. So And

934
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: Dalton's a guy who at one point in his career

935
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: was a top ten fantasy quarterback. Didn't really happened that much.

936
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that was back when Jake Gruden was the

937
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: O C in Cincinnati. But he's just not someone that

938
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: I trust, And to be honest with you, it's even

939
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: going to be hard for me, even if he puts

940
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: up a nice statline in Carolina, it's even gonna be

941
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: hard for me to really advise people to start him

942
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 1: outside of the situations where the matchup is favorable. Um

943
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: for the Panthers. You know, obviously, you know you're probably

944
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: starting Cam Newton, You're definitely starting Christian McCaffrey. I'm starting

945
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: to talk myself into Devin Funches at least as a

946
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: flex option, just because last year when Greg Olsen was hurt,

947
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: we saw a lot more targets going to Funchs right exactly, yeah,

948
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there's no Greg Olsen right now, so

949
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm starting to I'm starting to be able to talk

950
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: myself into into Funcius is like a flex starter. Yeah. No,

951
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: I can absolutely see that. And that's what we talked

952
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: about last week where we said when Olsen was out

953
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 1: last season, I mean, that's kind of when Devin Funch

954
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: has sort of made his Hey wasn't the most consistent

955
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but he was clearly seeing more targets. And

956
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, unless you're a believer that DJ Moore is

957
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: going to emerge, and and DJ had that one big

958
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: play last week and that was kind of it. I mean,

959
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: Funcius is at least the number two options for Cam

960
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: Newton in that passing game, because Number one is and

961
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: forever will be Christian McCaffrey, right, I mean christ McCaffrey

962
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: literally will. Uh he's got a really good shot to

963
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: set an NFL record for receptions in a season the

964
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: way they are using him right now, and you could

965
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: catch you know, a hundred and fifty pass year. That's

966
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: that is not really an exaggeration with how they're using him. Uh,

967
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: Giants at Texans for the Giants, I feel like it

968
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: starts and ends with the offensive line. Like everything everything

969
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: else that happens in this offense is because they either

970
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: can or cannot protect Eli Manning. They can or cannot

971
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: open holes for Sae Kwon Barkley. You know, I know,

972
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: we talked on on the Facebook Live show, which by

973
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: the way, you guy should be checking out on Thursdays. Uh,

974
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: we do a little Facebook live stream at five o'clock Eastern. Um.

975
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: We talked about you know, O p J is gonna

976
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: be fine, but everybody else is a question mark right now. Yeah,

977
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: Kwan's ability to catch the ball is his saving grace

978
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: because the offensive line, you just lost your center and

979
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: it was already sort of a question mark. And the

980
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: the what fourteen catches that he had eight yards those

981
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: were basically extended handoffs, so they didn't run the ball.

982
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: Eli is looking down field, he's being pressured, can't find

983
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: anyone open, throws the ball to Barkley, and I get

984
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: this is why you don't like PPR. And I can

985
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: understand that it's a great Russian game. It's a receiving right.

986
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: So if you're in a standard league, I mean, you're

987
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: still gonna start steak one because he was likely your

988
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: first round pick. But he's definitely he definitely lose a

989
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: little bit of his luster in standard scoring leagues. And

990
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: if you look at what he's done, it's been like

991
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: one big play, right, it's been one big play. It

992
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: was a one big play, uh two weeks ago. And

993
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: really other than that, yeah, not not not great yards

994
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: per carry averages Like I don't remember exactly what the

995
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: number is, but if you take out that sixty eight

996
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown right week one, like he's averaging fewer than

997
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: three yards percaring. Yeah. So but regardless, he's going to

998
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: be a big part of the offense. I kind of

999
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: like Evan Ingram in this game as well. And he

1000
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: flashed last week against the Cowboys, albeit some of it

1001
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: was in garbage time. Um uh, there there was I

1002
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: guess you can sort of call it garbage time. But

1003
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: um there's there's now a sort of fade when it

1004
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: comes to Sterling Shepherd. He's done next to nothing in

1005
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: the offense. Eli Manning is certainly not gonna be anyone

1006
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: that you're going to play. And on the flip side,

1007
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Houston has Will Fuller back, and I know they lost

1008
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: last week, but when will Fuller has been in games

1009
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson has started. All Will Fuller does is

1010
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: fill up the damn stat sheet. He has scored at

1011
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: least one touchdown in every game he's played with and

1012
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has tremendous games. Last week he was in

1013
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: the mid twenties, which I will take every week, all

1014
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: the time, all day long from Deshaun Watson, and especially

1015
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: after his his Week one performance, which oh, by the way,

1016
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: was without Well Fuller, So I mean, he's certainly not

1017
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver on the team. DeAndre Hopkins is

1018
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: the number one all day long. But if you look

1019
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: at the numbers in five career starts with Fuller in

1020
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: the lineup, Deshaun Watson's averaging thirty five points per game.

1021
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's nice to have him in there. And

1022
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: Fuller almost always has to be at least in your

1023
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: thoughts as a starter. Whenever he's playing and Deshaun Watson

1024
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: is under center, he is He's definitely a ceiling play

1025
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: because he doesn't necessarily catch a lot of passes, but

1026
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: they're all big plays. Usually he's not. He's not. He's

1027
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: like giving you a seven yard reception, like he's the

1028
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: guy who's given you like a fifteen to twenty yard kitch.

1029
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: He's like Devery Henderson on steroids, you know. But but

1030
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: like Devery did it like every third or fourth game,

1031
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: where like this kid is doing it every week. Yeah,

1032
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: it was always hard to pick the Devery Henderson game,

1033
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: Like you just you knew it was coming, you just

1034
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: didn't necess Sairly No, when so will Fuller though, as

1035
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: long as Carlos, as long as Shaun Watson is uh

1036
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: is in the backfield is starting, I think you're starting

1037
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: will Fuller. Yeah, I think that's just weird. I agree,

1038
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: Um Titans at Jaguars, UH talk a little bit about this.

1039
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean I said, you know, Derrick Henry week or

1040
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: Deanon Lewis week. I think this is just a Derrick

1041
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: Henry week, just because I think Deon Loui will end

1042
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: up kind of being a past protector this this week.

1043
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: But but is it a Derrick Henry start week or

1044
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: is it just a Derrick Henry will lead the team

1045
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: in touches. It's more of that. I think it's too

1046
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: I think he gets a lot of touches. I don't

1047
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: think he necessarily does anything great with them against the Jaguars.

1048
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: The James run defense like isn't spectacular, but it's good

1049
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: enough that I don't know that I trust Derrick Henry

1050
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: starting him in my lineup this week. Beyond that, there

1051
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: are no Titans really to speak of. Corey Davis. You

1052
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: know the John new Smith one week sleeper experiment that

1053
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't work out so well. Um Shard Matthews has disappeared

1054
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: from the face of the earth. The running back situation,

1055
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: as you said, it is confusing and it's not a

1056
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: good matchup. So you're probably not starting any Titans this week. Yeah,

1057
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I don't know you're starting any time, even Corey Davis,

1058
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: because he has got the specter of that Jaguars past defense,

1059
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I get it. Chris Hogan had two

1060
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns against him last week, and one of them was

1061
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: a garbage time touchdown. Otherwise you really didn't do much

1062
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: of anything. That defense is is just impenetrable. When you

1063
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: talk about opposing wide receivers on their home field, I

1064
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: was like, I think this is a week though, where

1065
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: you let Corey Davis. You know, if you don't have

1066
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, uh, this could end up being a by

1067
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: low week on him. Because I think it's gonna get

1068
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: better for him, especially if when Mariota gets healthy in

1069
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: his back in there, Um, he'll get more targets. He'll

1070
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: he'll get more production, you know, he'll I think he's

1071
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: his ceiling is sort of a low end wide receiver too,

1072
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,439
Speaker 1: that's his absolute ceiling. But I feel like this could

1073
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: be a by low week if he has another bad week,

1074
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: as we expect, a lot of people with Corey Davis

1075
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, be ready to be done with him.

1076
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: I like him, man, and tell him wise. I like

1077
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: him opportunity wise. He's someone that that I feel like

1078
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: is going to be targeted on a pretty regular basis.

1079
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: You could see anywhere from eight to target eight to

1080
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: ten targets per week. So I would agree with you there,

1081
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: And clearly Mariot is not a percent right, And I

1082
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: think when that happens and the Titans offense started starts

1083
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 1: getting rolling, which right now they're sort of stumbling along

1084
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: because Mariode has been banged up, and you know, they

1085
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: they've lost, uh some some key components on the offensive line,

1086
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: so they lost to Lenny Walker as well. But I

1087
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: do think that and maybe it's a second half situation

1088
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: that at some point Corey Davis will start rolling. Um.

1089
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: I did see some you know, kind of weird zupprofter

1090
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: film like footage of Marcus Mariota throwing a passive practice.

1091
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can get out of that.

1092
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: It was like one quick pass. The whole wasn't bad,

1093
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: it was fine. It was like there were no defenders.

1094
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: He was just like tossing a pass like this is somebody,

1095
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: and that he was throwing against air like you know,

1096
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: like look, I know for beat reporters, like this is

1097
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: part of the job. You gotta put this out here.

1098
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: But I think I feel like sometimes we see these

1099
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: things on Twitter and like we try to make too

1100
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: much of a judgment of it one way or another.

1101
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he looks fine. I don't know that

1102
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: I can take anything away from it. But by the way,

1103
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: who was the beat reporter that crapped on fantasy football

1104
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: on Twitter? I don't know. I'm sure there's a lot

1105
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: of them. I didn't know there was one today, and

1106
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: I saw everybody in the fantasy industry going after this

1107
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: guy though I don't remember what his name was. Just

1108
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: be quiet, Just be quiet if you're gonna be an

1109
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: old curmudgeony bomb, and you don't want to talk about

1110
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: how fantasy football has helped the National Football League and

1111
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: and the whole industry has helped the popularity of this

1112
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: sport and has helped the popularity of its players and

1113
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: has actually improved improved the knowledge of the common fan.

1114
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: Then get the hell off of social media. You don't

1115
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. I know this is not

1116
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: planned for the podcast, but I think it's funny because

1117
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: like every now, I mean, you get a beat writer

1118
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: who will say stuff like that, and at the same time, um,

1119
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: then everybody in the fantasy uni gets up in arms

1120
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: and it's like full like shouting thing and I'm like, okay,

1121
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: I know, and I didn't even mention it on Twitter,

1122
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: but I'm like, just be quiet. Like, you know what,

1123
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: you have a job in part because you're covering a team,

1124
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: and you know how many of the people who are

1125
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: following you on social media or listening to you are

1126
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: doing it because they want information for their fantasy football players.

1127
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: It's a lot, dude, it is a lot. So just

1128
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: back off and calm down, do your job, and forget

1129
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: about fantasy football if you don't like it. That's fine.

1130
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: Don't crap on, don't crap on it. Uh real quickly

1131
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, we talked a little bit about Leonard Fournette

1132
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: and whether or not he will come back and play

1133
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: and what this means potentially for Blake Bortles. I mean,

1134
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: with Fournete without four Nette, do you do you consider

1135
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: him at all? This week portals? I don't have him

1136
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: in my top twelve, and so in most leagues that

1137
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: would be a fade. If you're in the two QB league,

1138
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 1: then that's a different story. But it all really depends

1139
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: on what you said with Leonard four Nette. I mean,

1140
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: the offense is clearly different one for nets on the field.

1141
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: That's compared to when he's not so right now, I

1142
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: would be fading Bortles. But if circumstances are such that

1143
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: for Net is inactive, that could change. Yeah, we'll see

1144
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: what happened to that. For is a Chiefs and what

1145
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: could be one of the highest scoring games of the week.

1146
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: Start them all? Are there? You go? Start there? You

1147
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: go on. I'm pretty sure this is the Jimmy g week, right,

1148
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: Like I've been big on that this I hope so

1149
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: me too. Um Matt Brida versus Alfred Boris like they're

1150
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: pretty much splitting snaps and touches almost like down the middle. Yea,

1151
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: Morris has got a little bit more, slightly more, but

1152
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty close. But Brita has just been lights out

1153
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: with his touches. I mean, the dude, he's the leading

1154
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: rusher in the National Football League after two weeks. I

1155
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: get it, it's only two weeks, but I do remember

1156
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: a stat last three seasons, Kyle Shanahan offenses have produced

1157
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: at least one r B eight and PPR leagues, So

1158
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: uh RBA are better. So it wouldn't be completely out

1159
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility for Brita to be pretty

1160
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: darn good and end up being one of the better

1161
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: draft values. And it does sort of make me think

1162
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: what McKinnon could have been in this offense. Are you

1163
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: not going down with that knee injury? But right now,

1164
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: Rita maybe not. I must start damn good start this week.

1165
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: I think damn good start. Don't know. I might put

1166
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,479
Speaker 1: him in the must start category this week just because

1167
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: I think this thing is going to go back and

1168
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: forth and be up and down. Um, So, I mean

1169
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: he might be one that that you almost have He

1170
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: is a good He is a good play unless you

1171
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: somehow have to. I mean, I guess you could possibly

1172
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: have two better options. That's certainly possible. But man, it's

1173
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine. All Right, project my homes from

1174
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: me this week? How many touchdowns? I'll give him four? Four,

1175
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: I'll give him for this week. I'll come for this.

1176
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: Let me make sure I'm not playing against I don't

1177
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: have homes. I haven't. I haven't been one league. I

1178
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: got sneaked out of my homes. Like he was one

1179
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite sleepers. It was probably him and Royce Freeman,

1180
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: where my two favorites. So whatever, hey, um, but a

1181
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: lot of people like really reached for my homes and

1182
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 1: I wasn't willing to go there like ninth tenth round.

1183
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: And after two weeks those people were pretty smart. So

1184
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: I do have one chair of my homes. And at

1185
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: this point, and you read a smart man because a

1186
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: lot of people questioned why they would get rid of

1187
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and he's a smart man, and that mahomes

1188
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: he looks amazing, correct me if I'm wrong. But he

1189
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a pick, right, he doesn't have a pick.

1190
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: So two games, not much experience playing played last season.

1191
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be his first career started home. Dude.

1192
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean his last start last year was on the road.

1193
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: His first two games this year were on the road.

1194
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: This will be his first home start. Maybe he's the

1195
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: anti right, this is when this is when it falls apart, right,

1196
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,479
Speaker 1: he finally comes home? Oh no, the Arrowhead curse. Yeah.

1197
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, and you know what, I even like

1198
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins this week. And I think if you start

1199
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and he puts up a good stat line,

1200
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: then you trade him because the schedule gets harder. And

1201
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: I still don't believe in Watkins long term. You're obviously

1202
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: starting Kelsey and Hill and Kareem Hans Kreem Hunt, right,

1203
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean you're starting because it's your first round pick

1204
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: in all likelihood. But he has two targets this year?

1205
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: How I mean? I guess because Mahomes likes to go

1206
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: to on field, so that kind of precludes the running back.

1207
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: But they got to get him more than two targets, yeah,

1208
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: no doubt. And so it's it's almost like, you know,

1209
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: the Alex Smith effect, right, So last season and Alex

1210
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: Smith he went deep more often last season because he

1211
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: had Tyreek kill. But look at the stats that Kareem

1212
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: Hunt put up as a receiver. We started at sixty

1213
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: three times, he had fifty three catches, uh four fifty

1214
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: five yards. Now Alex Smith is gone. You got the

1215
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: gun slinger in their Patrick Mahomes who likes to throw

1216
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: it deep and and just go vertical. Uh often Smith

1217
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: is in Washington and guess whose second catches among running

1218
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: backs Chris Thompson in an offense led by Alex Smith

1219
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: who likes to do what? Dump it off? That's right?

1220
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: Check that? Uh so yeah, I hopefully Kareem Hunt gets

1221
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: going a little bit. You're starting him and it's high scoring.

1222
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: We're having a decent game, right he kind of got

1223
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of it going late. It just it hasn't

1224
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: looked the way it did last year. That's all Chargers

1225
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: at Rams. Uh. Great game, like just for just a

1226
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: flat out pure football game. This one should be a

1227
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch. Two really good teams too,

1228
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: good offenses against two good defenses. Um, should be a

1229
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. But I mean, Chargers wise, I

1230
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: mean you're probably starting Keenan Allen, You're starting Melvin Gordon. Um,

1231
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: I mean, do you start, Austin Ekeler, how do you

1232
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: where do you go? Well, yeah, that's a tough one

1233
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: because he's been so good. He's been so good, and

1234
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: I still say that he's on that flex starter borderline

1235
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: because of the matchup here is is clearly difficult, and

1236
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: he did get a bunch of touches last week, but

1237
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: of course Melvin Gordon was a little bit banged up

1238
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: and they were crushing Buffalo, so you can factor that

1239
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: in as well. But the players that I'm fading from

1240
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the Bolts, I'm not playing Philip Rivers. The Rams haven't

1241
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: given up a touchdown pass and I get it they

1242
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: played two awful quarterbacks, but well, Derek Car's not awful,

1243
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: but he's not elite, put it that way. And Sam Bradford, Yeah,

1244
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: you can put the awful tag on him, but Rivers

1245
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: also tends to in tough matchups turn the ball over.

1246
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: And as great as Rivers can be, and we've seen

1247
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: him be great from a fantasy perspective over the first

1248
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, there's also gonna be weekends where Rivers

1249
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: is giving you two touchdowns and four picks, and I

1250
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: think that could potentially be the situation this week in

1251
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the Battle of Los Angeles, maybe they should have, like, uh,

1252
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Kurt Russell come in and like flip the coin in

1253
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: the beginning Escape from l a rage against the Machines.

1254
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I think that was the Battle of Los Angeles. Yes, yes, yeah,

1255
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: So get Zack de Larrocha to come in here and

1256
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: do something. I'm fading Mike Williams this week. I'm playing

1257
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, but I don't love the match up. Now

1258
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: on the Ram side of the ball, Brandon cris has

1259
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: had a better start than I think we expected, and

1260
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense, at least based on what we thought

1261
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: that are just defense was going to be, was really

1262
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: tough last season. First week of the season, the home

1263
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: crushed him. Tyreek Kill crushed him. Do you start all

1264
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: of your Rams this week a wide receiver or do

1265
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: you sort of tend to sort of favor one or

1266
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: the other this trio? Well, of the of the three,

1267
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the one that I think I'm fading is probably Robert

1268
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: woods Um just because Cooper Cup he gets a lot

1269
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: of targets, like, he gets a lot of opportunity, and

1270
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is more of the big play guy, so

1271
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and Robert Woods is a good

1272
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: receiver and he fits in well in that offense. I

1273
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: just think that the role that he occupies in that offense, though,

1274
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: doesn't lend himself to having a big game this week

1275
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. So he's the one of the three

1276
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: that I would probably avoid this week. Okay, and Jared Goff,

1277
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: I still think he's a sleeper. I think he's going

1278
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: to give you seventeen eighteen points in the game, and

1279
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: he's He's not a guy who's gonna put up Bongo

1280
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: numbers typically, but he gives you enough where if you

1281
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: need to stream a quarterback, or maybe you don't like

1282
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: your number one matchup the week, maybe you have Philip

1283
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Rivers and you need to go in a different direction,

1284
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I think you can go uh and get some pretty

1285
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: good production out of Jared Goff. Uh. We talked Bears

1286
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: at Cardinals. Thanks again to Seth Rollins for stopping by

1287
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the its his stuff, man, it was his stuff. Bro

1288
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely a lot of fun. So we'll move on from

1289
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: that one. We will talk Patriots at Lions at your

1290
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game on in BC. The Patriots backfield

1291
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: once again is a headache because you know Rex Birkehead

1292
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol last week. Uh you' I'm not sure

1293
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: exactly what his role is going to be. James White

1294
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: is still hanging around there. Uh the uh what else

1295
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: we got Sony Michelle potentially coming back? Um? I kind

1296
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: of like White because if you look at the numbers,

1297
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: he's the most targeted Patriots player not running back player,

1298
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: and he's leading that backfielding snaps. And Rex Burkehead he

1299
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's really that healthy. And Sony Michelle

1300
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's really sort of gotten it yet.

1301
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,439
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't really played much at the A level.

1302
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: But James White in a game that could be a

1303
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: high scoring affair against the Lions defense is not very good. Listen,

1304
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: I think James White's a good play. I think he's

1305
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: a really good flex play in this contest. Um. We

1306
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: saw Rob Gronkowski ended up on the injury poor doesn't

1307
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: seem like it's a big deal, so he should be

1308
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: out there. I'm very interested to see what Chris Hogan

1309
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: can do this week after we all faded him last

1310
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars and he had that garbage time touchdown.

1311
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: But I addressed um, I'm not sure what's gonna happen

1312
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon, just Jeff. I can't wait to see

1313
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: him play. It'll be in a real game. With Tom Brady,

1314
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't expect much or or anything from

1315
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: him this week. I think next week we can start

1316
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: talking a little bit more about what I think. This

1317
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: is a week that I'm staying away from him, just

1318
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: as he's still getting acclimated to everything there, so I

1319
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't spend a lot of time there. Um, it doesn't

1320
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: even matter. The Lion's running backs even matter. I mean,

1321
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: Raddick in a PPR league, if you're hurt, if if

1322
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: you lost mixing and you didn't get GEO, maybe that's

1323
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: uh that that's about it. Um, not iron and uh

1324
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: carry on. Johnson at this point, he's showing some flashes,

1325
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: but he's just not getting enough opportunities. And for all

1326
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: intensive purposes, I mean, you're starting all three Lions wide

1327
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: receivers at some level like Golden Tates become must start

1328
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues without question. That's all. The Duke does

1329
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: catch seven balls every game. And Kenny, Kenny Golladay, who's

1330
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: sort of become you know, mini Megatron, baby Tron, baby tron, uh,

1331
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: small tron. No matter what where do you want to use,

1332
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: He's getting targets, he's getting he's getting more snaps than

1333
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the other two, so you have to like him. Marvin

1334
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: Jones is probably the Lions wide receiver that I would

1335
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: fade this week because to me, Galladay is just a

1336
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: better player. He's a more athletic player, younger, more athletic

1337
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: version of Marvin Jones. Correct, And so I would definitely

1338
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: be fading Marvin if I had to choose between one

1339
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: of those three guys to to be on my bench.

1340
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: And I like Matt Stafford this week. I mean Patriots defense,

1341
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: you know all that great. I mean last week, ortals

1342
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: look like the goat, and I get it. You know,

1343
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: the week before they really held Deshaun Watson down, but

1344
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: he didn't have Will Fuller. So I like Stafford after

1345
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: that horrendous Week one, he really bounced back last week.

1346
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Well also because because they can't run the football, Stafford

1347
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: you got to throw it a lot. Yes, So if

1348
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: anything else, that's good And we kind of like that

1349
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: when we have Matt staffortas teams. Way, buddy, Uh, why

1350
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: I I skipped over forgot about Colts at Eagles. Um,

1351
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: for me, the big thing here, I mean the cold side,

1352
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: you kind of know what you're getting, But on the

1353
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Eagle side, welcome back. Carson Wentz is back back. Okay,

1354
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: So we both do rankings on NFL dot Com, and

1355
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to know where you have Carson Wentz and

1356
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: at what point do you hit the cliff where Okay,

1357
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm starting these guys ahead of Wentz, but then at

1358
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: this point then Wentz is my guy. So I have

1359
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz right now at eleven. Okay, that's about where

1360
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: I have him in my ranking. I'm looking at yours.

1361
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: You've got him at twelve. I've got him at eleven.

1362
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: So we're we're fairly even there. There's just a lot

1363
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks with good matchup this week, right Yeah, And

1364
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: like I still want to see how he performs at

1365
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: real speed, you know, coming back off at knee injury.

1366
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: They were obviously very cautious with him for a reason. Also,

1367
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: no Ala Sean, you know j Gies. You know, I

1368
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know what his status is going to be. He's

1369
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: been dealing with a back issue. Um, so you know

1370
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: I am I am cautious about Carson Wentz. I don't

1371
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: have him on any rosters. Uh so, I you know,

1372
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how I would handle this. I tend

1373
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: to think if I had somebody with a better matchup, um,

1374
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, like a guy like Garoppolo, I'm starting

1375
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Uh you know. I've got Matt Ryan

1376
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: ahead of Carson Wentz just because I think that's going

1377
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: to be a high scoring game against New Orleans. Uh

1378
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, so Cam Newton, Deshaun Watson, like all these guys,

1379
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: I would start ahead of Carson Wentz, Matthew Stafford. I

1380
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: got so I went to the leven Stafford at twelve

1381
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: that one might be a coin flip, like I could

1382
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: be I could be talked into starting Stafford ahead of

1383
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Okay, No, And I think that's about where

1384
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: he is because when you look at the matchups, I mean,

1385
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes has elevated himself so much that you know he's

1386
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: top two or three, and Brady's up there. You still

1387
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: got Rodgers up there and Breeze. I mean, Matt Ryan's

1388
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: got a good matchup this week. I don't know if

1389
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I really believe in him, but there are a lot

1390
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks who are kind of like QB two's

1391
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: who have pretty good matchups. Uh so, so there's some

1392
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:17,840
Speaker 1: question mark Sarris to whether or not you should start

1393
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: or sit Wentz. But it all depends on what your

1394
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: alternatives are, obviously, But Once, to me is someone that

1395
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy owners sort of forgot how good

1396
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: he was because he went down. The Eagles went on

1397
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl with Nick Foles, but when

1398
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: he went down, I mean, this guy had thirty three

1399
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. He was the QB two Only Russell Wilson

1400
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 1: had more Fantasy points and he was balling every single weekend. Marcus,

1401
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: maybe you're right, maybe he needs to shake off the

1402
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,759
Speaker 1: rust that could potentially happen. It's a good matchup against

1403
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: the Colts too, So, uh, you're really making a decision

1404
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: based on what your alternatives are. You mentioned, j J.

1405
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: I still not practicing. I love Corey Clement this week.

1406
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: I love him. Is it Clement or Clements? I have

1407
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: no damn clue C two, But I love C two

1408
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: this week and last week. He didn't see a lot

1409
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: of touches, but the touches that he saw, he made

1410
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: him count. And you've got to like because the Colts,

1411
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: and we say this like every single season, it seems

1412
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the Colts can never stop the run. Ever. Ever, so

1413
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Joe Mixing crushed him in Week one. Last week, Chris

1414
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Thompson had double digit targets and touches and uh catches.

1415
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: It was. It was a shmoreg ex sport for him.

1416
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: So if you have double C and maybe you can

1417
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: find out how to pronounce his name in the meantime,

1418
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: if you have him and a g I is inactive, boy,

1419
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm riding him out. He's a flex maybe an RB

1420
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: two and PPR formats. Yeah, I'm sure. The other guy

1421
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: that I think is like kind of a deep sleeper,

1422
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: Kamar Aiken in Philadelphia. It is deep. That's a deep sleep.

1423
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Who is their number two right now? Is it Camar?

1424
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: It might be Kamar Akin right now? I mean, you know,

1425
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: we know Nelson Aglare is their number one wide receiver,

1426
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz is you know, arguably their number one pass

1427
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: catcher overall from the tight end spot. But you know,

1428
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace is injured and on injured reserve right now.

1429
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Al Sean Jeffrey, we don't know when he's gonna be back.

1430
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: Kamar Aikin is the guy who they've brought up and

1431
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: is giving him. They're giving him more snapps, more opportunities.

1432
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: So um, you know, while everybody defensively is looking out

1433
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: for Art's and a galore deep sleeper man. You know,

1434
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 1: I like to check out Royal World and then you

1435
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: go to their um their depth chart, and all of

1436
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: the Eagles wide receivers have like these red like Mark's

1437
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: next to him. It's like al Shan's heard, Braxon Miller's

1438
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: on a scouting team and Mac Collins is heard and

1439
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace is her. It's a mess right there. They

1440
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: really need al Shan back. But this is a good

1441
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: situation for as you mentioned, uh, Nelson aghil Are, maybe

1442
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: camar Agan zach Ertz is gonna see a lot of

1443
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: targets filed his way as well. Uh last one Steelers

1444
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: at Buccaneers. That is the Monday night game. This is

1445
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: this is the game. This is the game, Eddie Murphy.

1446
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: This is the game where we are going to know

1447
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: for sure how for real Ryan Fitzpatrick is no, well no,

1448
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: maybe that too, but we will know for sure whether

1449
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: or not you can ever ever ever trustped Rob the

1450
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: Burger on the road because the Buccaneers defense is terrible.

1451
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 1: It's terrible. And if Big Ben goes to Tampa Bay

1452
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: on a Monday night and throws up a stink bomb

1453
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 1: and that that's like sixteen or fewer points because if

1454
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: you can't get the seventeen or more against that defense,

1455
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: that's a bad game. That's a bad game. So if

1456
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Big Ben goes to Tampa Bay and has a good

1457
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: outing and it was a road game, and maybe he'll

1458
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, sort of watched a little bit of the

1459
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: stink off of him in terms of being a guy

1460
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: you sit on the road. If he can't get your

1461
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen points minimum in this game, that I think

1462
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger has a fade every single time his turfs

1463
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: are not on the Hindz Field stadium. Man, Um, is

1464
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: there too much drama going on in Pittsburgh? Yeah, dude,

1465
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,839
Speaker 1: it's like days of our lives, man, Like, let's play football.

1466
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Like a b is talking about, you know, trade me

1467
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: and find out on Twitter and then his agent comes

1468
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: out and says it's a big nothing Burger. Levian Bell

1469
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: is nowhere to be found. We don't know what the

1470
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 1: active roster, right, dude, and you know what stinks is

1471
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: like so like last year with Zeke, right when he

1472
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: was suspended, you had he's gonna eat up a bench

1473
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: spot like on NFL dot com in a lot of

1474
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: my leagues and most of my leagues, I have the

1475
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: reserve spot. But I can't put live there. I can't

1476
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: do it. He's not suspended, he's not hurt. I mean

1477
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,919
Speaker 1: I can't. So he's eating up a roster spot form basically,

1478
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: and and it stinks. And at this point, like there's

1479
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: there's nothing. There's no talk, I mean, radio silence. This

1480
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: is worse than the Zeke situation because at least with Zeke,

1481
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 1: like you could you know, there was there was movement,

1482
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and there was you know, there was talking about those

1483
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: suspensions and appeals and legal processes, and like you you

1484
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: at least had some you know, you you could you

1485
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: follow your friendly neighborhood legal analysts on Twitter and kind

1486
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: of figure out what might possibly happen and decide based

1487
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: on that. This is nothing, there's and Love's not saying

1488
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,759
Speaker 1: a word so like and I haven't checked his Twitter.

1489
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's really said anything, but I mean,

1490
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: like at this point right now and dude, I have

1491
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: no idea. I'm just guessing. I'm just reading the tea leaves.

1492
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna miss half the season, at least

1493
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna miss half the season. I think

1494
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: you're looking at week ten. I think you're looking at

1495
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: the week ten right, And and then when he comes back,

1496
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: like say, say James Connor's balling, right, are you looking

1497
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: at the committee? Is as crazy as that sounds, like,

1498
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: are you looking at Bell coming back and being the

1499
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Bell cow? And then the first the first couple of weeks,

1500
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: this guy hadn't done anything for for two or three months.

1501
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: How good is he gonna be? Right? So that could

1502
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: be an absolute mess of a situation if you're a

1503
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: fantasy owner. An absolute mess. And it's one that I

1504
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: got myself in because I drafted damn Levian Bell in

1505
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: our Experts League. Thank god I got James Connor. But

1506
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: man if and a lot of people are are tweeting

1507
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: me and probably Marcus two about trades involving Levian Bell.

1508
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 1: I just don't know how. I don't know how. You

1509
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how you decipher whether

1510
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: or not a trade is good or not. Because we

1511
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: don't know how when he's coming back. But I have

1512
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: seen some trades were like, if it's a good haul,

1513
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I may one to just get rid of the headache.

1514
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: If it's a good haul, it's got to be a

1515
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: good haul, right, But I'm not giving him up for nothing.

1516
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. If you're trying to deal if

1517
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: he's on the block, everybody in your league knows that

1518
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of kind of stuck, right, So like,

1519
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna we'll go out and offer

1520
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: you a whole lot for him, because it's like, well, okay,

1521
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: but how about this if you have a Levian Bell, right,

1522
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: and you have James Conner too, So like I have

1523
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: Livin and James Conner and someone offers me, let me think,

1524
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:29,839
Speaker 1: say someone offers me like Christian McCaffrey in a PPR

1525
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: league for Bell and Connor? Right now, right? Do it

1526
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: right now? I mean, because all right, I'll take the guy.

1527
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 1: I'll take the guy that I know is eating every

1528
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: week over the guy that I don't know when he's

1529
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: coming back, right, And even when he does come back,

1530
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 1: is he the featured guy? And you would expect him

1531
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: to have at least a couple of games where he's

1532
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: slow to start because he hasn't done anything in so long.

1533
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, it's just a mess. And ultimately, I

1534
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: don't know where this is gonna end. He's going to

1535
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,839
Speaker 1: come back paying because he can't ruin his freaking status.

1536
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: But because this is what this is all about, he

1537
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: doesn't want four hunt touches and for the Steelers to

1538
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: to write him into the ground, and then next year

1539
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: that hurts his value. It hurts his ability to make

1540
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: money because teams will be like, well, you've had four

1541
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: hundred touches two years in a row. You're not getting

1542
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: any younger, and that's an issue. He will play football

1543
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: this season, but I'm really starting to think that it's

1544
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: going to be less than half the season. Yeah, you

1545
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: think you're kind of stuck right now. If you've got

1546
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: Levion Bell, it's unfortunate. That's kind of where you are.

1547
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: I got him in our Dynasty league, which I won

1548
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: last year, and now I'm getting because I have Mark

1549
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: Heyerman athlete two and I have outside Jeffrey. But I

1550
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: think chriss you. So there we go. There's the Week

1551
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: three previews. Hold on, So now last week it's the

1552
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: moment we've all been waiting for. Last week, our man

1553
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Eddie came on here with a delirious pick, and I

1554
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: went with you part of the way, Eddie, but not

1555
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: all the way like you had. You had Ricky Seals

1556
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Jones like the number one like, and I was like

1557
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: down with the Ricky Seals Jones narrative. Obviously it blew

1558
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: up in our faces because the Cardinals were awful. Yeah,

1559
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 1: you went with him number one tight end. That didn't

1560
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: quite obviously, that didn't quite happen. So but here here

1561
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, this is a delirious pick. It

1562
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: was you kind of like, you know, going all in.

1563
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: So where where are you going this week? I watched

1564
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: that whole game too. I don't know why it was.

1565
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 1: It was Cardinal. I'm sorry for you. Yeah. Yeah, he

1566
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: actually ended up with six targets again just the repeat

1567
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: of what he did in week one. But anyway, so

1568
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: my delirious pick this week, um, possibly not as crazy.

1569
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go wear he ranks, but I'm want

1570
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: to say this. Geo Bernard will have thirty PPR points. No,

1571
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that's good. It's not as delirious. It's high,

1572
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: but that's a lot of points. That's a lot of

1573
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: points my reasoning, and this is more of a gut

1574
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: reasoning or just logic more than the extra nos and

1575
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: stat base. But the two quick sets I do have. UM,

1576
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I believe earlier if Fabs you mentioned the amount of

1577
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: touches and that's why he's a good star. I mean,

1578
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: he averages twenty three and a half without Joe Mixing playing,

1579
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: and the Panthers are allowing a hundred thirty two yards

1580
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: on the ground this year and it's only been two games.

1581
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: But I like that. Um, I just you know, believe

1582
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: that a j Green uh, seeing what he did last week,

1583
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: the Panthers will probably game plan towards him and just

1584
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: let a gamble on Geo. So maybe that will work

1585
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: in his favor. But I just see a day like

1586
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: seventy catches around there, two touchdowns, a bunch of yards.

1587
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 1: I guess if you have Gier Bernard, I think it

1588
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: would be are on the thirty point mark. That I don't.

1589
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's I don't think that's ridiculous. I

1590
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: think that's possible. That is all right, I think it's possible.

1591
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we can come back here. Probably

1592
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: next week and be like, man, that was stupid. I

1593
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 1: have not so delirious, but it's very possible. So there's

1594
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: the thing though, I mean like, because I've got Geo

1595
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: Bernard in several leagues, and I've got him started everywhere

1596
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: I have him because I do think you know, obviously

1597
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: the volume is going to be there if they use

1598
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: him even close to how they use Joe Mixon, there's

1599
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of opportunity there. So um, I'm in board.

1600
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I like this. You know what's funny is that, like

1601
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 1: anytime starting running back goes down, the backup is like

1602
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: just everyone in the fantasy community loves right Tevin Coleman,

1603
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 1: and when we all got somebody loves him, we all

1604
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 1: love a guy then see, And so so the Monday

1605
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Night thing, you could also argue that we'll find out

1606
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 1: if the Fantasy guys are in fact as cool as

1607
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: we all think they are, because if they take away

1608
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: Ryan fitz past, yes, because after week one I didn't

1609
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: really hear a lot of people outside of a bar

1610
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: say he had a lot of faith in Ryan Fitzpack.

1611
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Then he goes out and does it again and everybody

1612
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:36,560
Speaker 1: and his ownership percentage went up over almost sixty on

1613
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: NFL dot com, where it was about like seventeen before that.

1614
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,799
Speaker 1: Now people are starting. Everybody's everybody, everyone went's on board,

1615
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: and let's see if it's magic fades or does he

1616
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: continue to put up fantasy points hand over fist. We'll see, right, okay,

1617
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:52,680
Speaker 1: before you get out of here. And do we have

1618
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 1: anything in the mailbag this week? We do, all right.

1619
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: We have a lot of tweets from our listeners, so

1620
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: appreciate everyone doing that for us. Uh, first one we

1621
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: have be HEAs guard and he asked Tyler Lockett, John

1622
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: Brown or Damarrius Thomas and a flex play. It's a

1623
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: half PPR. Tyler Lockett, I don't like Da Marius this week.

1624
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean John Brown. John Brown has been pretty good too,

1625
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,560
Speaker 1: kind of like John Brown. I think I think it

1626
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: might go John Brown. But yeah, I'm staying away from

1627
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: De Marius. I'm over that. I'm kind of over him.

1628
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: At called me danger h w K. I'm guessing. Hawk

1629
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: asked should I start Kenny Golladay, Davante Adams or Rex

1630
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Burkhead as a flex this week? I'm going I've got

1631
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to go Adams. Yeah, but there's gotta be a way

1632
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: you get Callady in your lineup two. I know, right,

1633
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: if you could, if you can somehow flex Golladay like

1634
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: start Adams at wide receiver and flex Golliday, dude, I'd

1635
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: probably do that. Um at Stillson bit base bass as

1636
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: some of these tutor handles in. But trade prolls it

1637
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,919
Speaker 1: for you guys. So he proposed a trade to giveaway

1638
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey for any of these two would would be

1639
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, Marvin Jones, Corey Davis and Antonio Callaway. I

1640
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: reached for Kelsey and the third so thinking, no, what

1641
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: do you think? No, I just you can't. It's hard

1642
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: to find a tight end like Travis Kelsey who can

1643
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: produce like that. I wouldn't give him up, especially that

1644
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 1: for the names that are on that No, no, no, yeah.

1645
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: Um And if you guys want to write it out here,

1646
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: do one more? Um this one back on the David

1647
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Johnson topic. I think it's quite interesting. Uh should as

1648
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: a David Johnson owner, Oh sorry, this is from at

1649
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: k y A. This is this is bad k y A.

1650
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: I z A w A suh. Yeah, as a David

1651
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: Johnson owner, do I should? I believe the coach speak

1652
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: about changing his usage or just bench him until we

1653
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: see points improvement or change in the Cards offense. UM.

1654
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I do believe there's a change coming. I

1655
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: think this week is not going to I think this

1656
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 1: week is not gonna be a good week. Um, But

1657
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,799
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy is going to change things. Because I presume

1658
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy likes being employed and collecting a paycheck. I

1659
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: would tell you this. I don't know what the rest

1660
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: of your roster is, but if, for example, you have

1661
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: Keevin Coleman and Gio Bernard, I'm bench and David Johnson

1662
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: this week defenses legit, but it really depends on what

1663
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: you have, what you legitimately could have on your roster.

1664
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: And I think you could legitimately have Tevin Coleman and

1665
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: Gie Bernard on your roster um if you were smart

1666
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,799
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, and that would be two players

1667
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: who ultimately wouldn't be started over David Johnson in regular circumstances.

1668
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: But right now I would pull the trigger on that one.

1669
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: But I don't know that most people have enough running

1670
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: back depth where they can do cand not you know,

1671
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: where they can bench him just one week bench for you.

1672
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: For me, it's one week, and I think next week

1673
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,560
Speaker 1: things start to get better because I think, you know,

1674
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: this is just a bad matchup defensively, and I don't

1675
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: think they'll have solved all their problems. Hopefully the Cards

1676
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: saw FABS blow up last week and they listened to

1677
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: that and now they're gonna. Yeah, if they did, they'll

1678
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,680
Speaker 1: be like, look at this fantasy idiot blowing up on

1679
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: us like he thinks he knows more than we do.

1680
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 1: Some Rando and l A is just screaming about our offense.

1681
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, that tweet that I sent out

1682
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: or that was sent out, I got so much like

1683
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: that may have been the most sponsores I've ever gotten

1684
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter for like a video. Everyone went nuts over that,

1685
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 1: so it was good. I mean, I like to yell

1686
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: sometimes and I like the people enjoy when I yell.

1687
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 1: I guess, so I'll do it for us. Wrap it up.

1688
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,720
