1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Wow, everybody. 2 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: It's Me Your Man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael 4 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: Florio and Lakwan Jones. We are halfway through the fantasy 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: regular season and by mcgeddon has come to get us. 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 3: Oh did you get hit hard because I didn't, you 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 3: know what, I don't want to play this week, like 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: at all. 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, I haven't even looked at lineups yet. 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: I haven't even started yet. 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 4: Just avoid the pressure. 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: We'll get to that when we get to that. I 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: got a whole day before kickoff. Yeah, it's weird for me. 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 5: I have some teams that I'm looking at it and 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't want to play this week, and 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 5: I have others when I'm like, oh a lot of 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 5: my guys have already had their buy, like let's go. 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm fine. Yeah, yeah, I look. 19 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: I mean at some point there's sometimes where there's just 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: so many guys on a buy you just you just 21 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: take the l take the down, just you know, it's 22 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: just the thing that happens. So, but that gets us 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: to what we're going to talk about in the show. 24 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: We will take a peek at some of the more 25 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: intriguing fantasy matchups of Week eight. We'll get you some 26 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: lineup replacements for by him again and to get you through, 27 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: plus sleepers, news headlines, and a whole lot more so. 28 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, let's start things off, as we normally 29 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: do on this show, with some fantasy headlines and a 30 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 2: big one, a disappointing one. Mike Evans suffered a broken 31 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: clavical on Monday Night Football. He will miss most of 32 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: the remainder of the season because of that injury. Also 33 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: suffered a concussion in the ballgame. So first thing is, 34 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: I guess we pour one out for the one thousand 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: yard streak for Mike Evans because you know, unless he 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 2: comes back and has like seven hundred yards in a game, 37 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: I feel like that's probably gonna be done for that. 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 5: It's rough that a streak that was alive because of 39 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 5: how durable he is ends because of injury. 40 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Like it stinks, but also sort of fitting. I think 41 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: kind of that. 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, as remember last year the streak 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: stayed alive on literally the last snap. 44 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Of the regular season. 45 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: They forced him, They forced him, and we were all 46 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: happy about it. Not only one single person was upset 47 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: about how that. 48 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: Went and not right off into the sunset like that. 49 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: Man. 50 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely definitely disappointing for Mike Evans this year. But 51 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: I mean Florida when we look at it now, Mike 52 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: Evans is out for a while. We know that this 53 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: week we're not expected to see Chris Godwin or Bucky Irving. 54 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: Even a Mecca Abuka didn't look fully like himself last week. 55 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: Is Baker Mayfield gonna be startable against New Orleans? 56 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: I think so. 57 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 5: Because Baker Mayfield up until this past week, he was 58 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 5: doing it without his weapons, you know, like that's why 59 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 5: he was the leading MVP candidate because of the fact 60 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 5: that it was like all right, it's like they're not 61 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 5: missing a beat. But even this past week, watching that game, 62 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 5: like it wasn't like there were like Baker and nowhere 63 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: to go with the ball. The Detroit Lions defensive line 64 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 5: deserves a ton of credit. 65 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: They made like havoc. 66 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: They wrecked havoc on Baker Mayfield all game. 67 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 5: But like I could think of at least two underthrown 68 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 5: balls to a Mecca Abuka that probably should have been 69 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 5: touchdowns if it was a little bit more on the money. 70 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: So yeah. 71 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 4: I think Baker, especially with six teams on buy. 72 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. 73 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 5: If I don't have a ton of Baker, but if 74 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 5: I did, there's no way. 75 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: I would be getting away. 76 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: I think that thing six teams on a bye is 77 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: the important part. And I also think it's a thing 78 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: we're going to say a lot over the next couple 79 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: of days, how we're making start SID calls and be like, 80 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: hey man, six teams are on a bye. 81 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna be kind of hurt in a certain positions. 82 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: So we will see. But Baker's been playing well. 83 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: Obviously Monday night not a good one for him or 84 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: for fantasy managers. We'll see if he can rebound, knowing 85 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: that he's going to be missing some big pieces in 86 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: the offense. 87 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of big pieces missing, the Commanders. 88 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: Are going to be without their starting quarterback Jaden Daniels 89 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: suffered a hamstring injury last week and the loss to 90 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, and he has been ruled out of 91 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: the Monday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now 92 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: Lukwan Daniels played last week. There was no Deebo Samuel, 93 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: no Terry McLaurin. We're still waiting to see on updates 94 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: on those guys, but with him out and Marcus Mariota, 95 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: and do you trust starting a commanders this week? 96 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: Like, obviously, if Deebo's healthy, we balling, he's in the 97 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: starting lineup, and Terry McLaurin looks like he's trending towards playing, 98 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: and I think, obviously, when you have eleven startable wide 99 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: receivers on by this week, you gotta start him. So 100 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: I do think at the end of the day, those 101 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: are the two that I feel really comfortable about now. 102 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: Louke McCaffrey with Marcus Mariota put up double digit Fantasy 103 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: points in both the starts at Mariota got but I 104 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: still don't feel like I trust him. Now that Terry 105 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: mclaurin's coming back in the fold, zach Ertz, I'm trying 106 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: to get away fro him from this week because we 107 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: have yet to see that chemistry. The red Zone presence 108 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: for zach Ertz and Mariota and honestly Chris Moore has 109 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: been great, But I think that that train is gonna 110 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: come down to human Earth with Deebo, Samuel and Terry 111 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: mclauren both back in the lineups. 112 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: I mean, a guy who sneakily put up a the 113 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: my decent number of yards last week was Robbie chosen, Yeah, 114 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: let them catches. 115 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: And I said, Robbi chosen like two weeks ago, randomly, 116 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: And here we are talking about Robbie chosen, Robbie big 117 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: jersey lets you might know. 118 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: It's chosen Anderson or Robbie Anderson or Robbie Anderson with why. 119 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 5: Aka the best thing he will ever do for the NFL? 120 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 2: Surper, what's that bear doing? That was absolutely awesome? But yeah, 121 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: I keep an eye on the Commander's offense. Obviously a 122 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: tough matchup on Monday Night. We'll talk about that a 123 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: little bit later on in the week news. That doesn't 124 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: have any immediate fantasy impact, but I felt like we 125 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: should get in here. Tyler Lockett has been released by 126 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. He asked for a release, the Titans 127 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: granted it, So Tyler Lockett no more in the NFL. 128 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: That's probably a rap for him on his career. 129 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: Obviously, we know he's not an NFL Hall of Famer, 130 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: even though he had a lot of good years in Seattle. 131 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: But I do have to ask. I'll start with you, Florio. 132 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: I would like to ask these when guys retire, is 133 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: he a Fantasy Hall of Famer. 134 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 5: I'm hoping he's not retiring just yet, Like maybe Seattle 135 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 5: comes to call in and wants him back or something. 136 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 5: But I'm gonna say no, I think he's a Hall 137 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 5: of very good for fantasy purposes, like he was awesome, 138 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 5: but you look at his career numbers, never had twelve 139 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 5: hundred yards, like longevity wise. 140 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 4: And always being underrated was great for fantasy. 141 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: But I don't think of him as one of the 142 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: best fans about you. 143 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if the best, but I would say this, 144 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: like he consistently outperformed his ADPs of where he was going. 145 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, most of those years it was. 146 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: Just like wow, all reliable or wide receiver three performing 147 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: like a two and maybe some weeks as a one. 148 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna miss Tyler Locket honestly in the Sea 149 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 3: off Jersey because like it's like somewhat nostalgic somehow where 150 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, man, that's my guy in fantasy. 151 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't put him in the Hall of Fame 152 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: of the greats that we have up there. 153 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: Maybe the Raiders come a call him. Maybe the forty whiners. 154 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. You guys just need a wide receivers. 155 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: He doesn't need the I don't think he wants to 156 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: end his career injured, Like I don't think that he 157 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: wants to go out a good point. So yeah, but 158 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: I'm I think he's a Hall of very good for fantasy, 159 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: not quite a Fantasy Hall of Famer. But I was 160 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: always a Tyler Lockett stand. I felt like he was 161 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: for years. He was one of those guys that we 162 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: sort of took for granted in fantasy, right. He would 163 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: fall down draft boards in and all of those, and 164 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: you know, he's getting you a thousand yards in like 165 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: eight to ten touchdowns. Like, who doesn't need that? Why 166 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: did I fade that exactly? But we'll see what happens 167 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: with Tyler Lockett. This isn't the end. 168 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Who knows him. Pete and Gino could ride out together. 169 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: At the end of the year. Things aren't going great 170 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: for a Pete and Gino, right, it's probably it for them. 171 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: Maybe Gino gets a backup gig somewhere, But I don't 172 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 5: see him as a starter. 173 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Pete gets fired. I think at 174 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: the end of the season they just strung. Hey, maybe 175 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: maybe you just want to go back and retire again. 176 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things. In case you 177 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: haven't caught on yet, there are a lot of teams 178 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: on a buy this week. The Cardinals, the Lions, the Jaguars, 179 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: the Raiders, the Rams, and the Seahawks all have the 180 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: week off in Week eight, So a lot of really 181 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: interesting fantasy pieces that you're going to be missing across 182 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: a variety of positions. So we'll certainly trying to help 183 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 2: you out with that. But first we'll turn our attention 184 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: to Week eight. We will start our Thursday night preview 185 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: the Vikings at the Chargers right over here at SOFI Stadium, 186 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: and these are the first touchdown odds for that game. 187 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: Jordan Mason and Kamani Vidal atop the list there, followed 188 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: by Justin Jefferson and Quintin Johnston with even odds to 189 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: score the first touchdown, followed by Lad McConkey. So Keenan 190 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: Allen not making it into the top five in this group, Yeah. 191 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: Why, I don't know. 192 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: Just went crazy last week? 193 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, I just read them. I 194 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: just read the board, man, I don't read the lists. 195 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: All of this but as we look into this game, right, 196 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson's a guy that for years we've been drafting high. 197 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: Remember like last year we're like, I don't know, im 198 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: I canna draft Justin Jefferson. Sam Donald's there, and then 199 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: he was fine. 200 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: Yah. 201 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: Right, So this year we went into the season, We're like, 202 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: I'm drafting Justin Jefferson because he was great with Sam Donald? 203 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Like, why can't it be it hasn't really worked out? 204 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 4: Ain't nobody Sam Donald's will we come down to? 205 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, apparently like Sam Donald is one of one. 206 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: I guess I don't know's he's wide receiver eighteen right now? 207 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Does this mean that Justin Jefferson maybe isn't quarterback proof. 208 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 3: I think we're starting to see a little bit of that, 209 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: But I'm still hanging on because like when we look 210 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 3: at the numbers, when we look at the four end 211 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: zone targets, we're like, that's real nasty because two of 212 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: those came from JJ McCarthy and his only touchdown this 213 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: season has come from JJ McCarty. But when you look 214 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: at the other side, in terms of his ceiling, in 215 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: terms of yards, Carson Wentz has gotten him over one 216 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: hundred yards twice, so off of pure volume, I'm still 217 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: going to be a believer that we can get wide 218 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: receiver numbers on a consistent basis from Justin Jefferson. So 219 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: I do think at the end of the day, I'm 220 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 3: not too worried about trading him off. I'm not worried 221 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: about his production in my starting lineup. I think this 222 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: week he has a great matchup. We saw Deebo Samuel, 223 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: we saw Cortland Sutton, Michael Pittman put up twenty plus 224 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: fantasy points against his Chargers defense. It's Justin Jefferson. Those 225 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: names that I just named, they're nowhere near him. So 226 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 3: come on down buying Lowan. 227 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: Also, he only has one touchdown. You feel like that's 228 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: going to start to have six in the second half. 229 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: That's going to turn around at some point. On the 230 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: other side, the Chargers have three wide receiver that they 231 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: really like. We didn't even see Keenan Allen on that 232 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: board of the first touchdown, of which one of those 233 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: three between Alan Johnston and McConkie. 234 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: Four, You are you most comfortable, started Ladd McConkie. Baby, 235 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: we are bow boy. 236 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 5: Fifteen targets last week twenty four in the last two 237 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 5: games and in the last three weeks, he leads not 238 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: just the Chargers, the entire NFL in end zone targets. 239 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 5: And something I spoke about a lot on Fantasy Live 240 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 5: this week. 241 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles. 242 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 5: I think they found a weakness in this Vikings defense 243 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 5: because coming up to that game last week, no one 244 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 5: was beating them downfield. They were one of the best 245 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 5: secondaries in football. And then the Eagles were like, we 246 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: found your weakness. We're going to attack you up the seams, 247 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: in the middle of the field and downfield. 248 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Guess who gets all of those targets. It's two players. 249 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 5: It's Keenan and it's Ladd McConkie. I think both of 250 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: those guys are in play. My Bowl prediction on Fantasy 251 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 5: Live was one hundred yards and a touchdown for each 252 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 5: of them. 253 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 4: But Ladd is getting more and more volume. 254 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: And it's turning into great fantasy. He's also getting more volumes. 255 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: I think people early in the season, we're kind of 256 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 2: sleeping on Quentin Johnston. Now they're devoting more attention to him, 257 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: and so that's opening thing. 258 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 5: What stands out to me to over seventy percent of 259 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 5: his routes last week from the slot. 260 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: So we're seeing him get back to where he's at 261 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: his best. 262 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: Where he's most comfortable, so we'll see Turning to the 263 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: Sunday matchups in week, we'll start with the Bills and Panthers, 264 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: one of two games on the schedule this week that 265 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: features two teams with winning records. The other one is 266 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: the Sunday Night game between these Steelers and the Piper 267 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: Sunday Night. 268 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: Bill's Panthers and me. Why not? I mean, everyone wants 269 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: to watch Josh Allen, Andy Dalton. Who doesn't want to 270 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: see that? 271 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 4: Eric Collins? Is he on the call? The two best 272 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: quarterbacks for the Bills in my life, they. 273 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 2: Really are, Andy Dalton helping into that long playoff drought 274 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: for the Bills. But lakwan, let's go to the Panthers 275 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: side of things. Yeah, choose your fighter, Tuba Hubbard or 276 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: Rico Dowdell. If you're putting together a DFS Live. 277 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: It's a Rico. I mean, mister Stark, we're not feeling 278 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 4: so good. 279 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: Look he's Peter like Tuba Hubbard is Peter Parker fading 280 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: away and mister Stark's hands because honestly, they gave Tuba 281 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: opportunity last week to really get ramped up that first half. 282 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: He had majority of the touches seventy two percent, snaps 283 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 3: in twenty six yards on two point nine yards for carry. 284 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: That is not going to get it done. On the 285 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: first touch that Rico had, he busses all for a 286 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: big run. So obviously that's when I knew it was over. 287 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: So going forward, obviously Florio knows he could speak best 288 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: that the bills are cooked on the ground. So I 289 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: think this is a game where Rico takes the job 290 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: and runs away with it and Tuba Hubbard managers right 291 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: now have to be worried about rostering right now, I. 292 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Think both are in play this week. I like Rico more, but. 293 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this week, I think Cuba still has 294 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of life left because run defenses. 295 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: He wasn't playing badly. 296 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: This is the same organization that paid Miles Sanders right. 297 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: Like the third on the depth trick. Yeah, but they 298 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: didn't pay him like Tuba paid. 299 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 4: But Cuba lost his job multiple times. Now, I mean 300 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 4: Deontay Foreman, Let's stick. 301 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: A battle, came in and snatched his chain and then 302 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: you know that's kind of where we are. 303 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 4: The first time is. 304 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: Chain got snatched snaps of the two of them, he 305 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: actually did for sure Bears at the Ravens. Good news 306 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: for Baltimore. Lamar Jackson is back at practice and expected 307 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: to go this week. But on the other side of things, 308 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: Florio for the Bears. So I haven't seen a lot 309 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: of Dj Moore. Is this a one more chance situation 310 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: for him? 311 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: Nope, and start um sittinghim. 312 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 5: I have him as I sit, and I'm like, this 313 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 5: is a new low because I've had him as I 314 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 5: sit before, but never in what looks like such a 315 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 5: favorable matchup on paper. The thing is, though, I just 316 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 5: absolutely hate the way he's being used. Seventeen percent air 317 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: yard and target share, just three deep targets and two 318 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 5: en zone targets. If you're not getting a lot of volume, 319 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 5: and he is not. He is one game all year 320 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 5: with more than five targets and it was six. But 321 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 5: he's not getting a lot of volume. You need to 322 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 5: make up for it with touchdowns in big plays. He's 323 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 5: not getting the opportunities to do that. And he has 324 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 5: one game this year where he had more than ten 325 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 5: Fantasy points. It came in the best match for a 326 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 5: wide receiver against the Cowboys on a late game touchdown, 327 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 5: like it's just not happening for Dj Moore. 328 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: I think Romadun's say, great play this, Yam, but Dj 329 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: Moore Notson. I like Romo doing to bounce back for sure. 330 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: Also been a lot been interesting to see a lot 331 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: more DeAndre Swift, even Kyle Manung Gui. 332 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, who I act this week Cowboys at the Broncos. 333 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: Tough matchup obviously on paper, I'm not worried about Ceedee 334 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: Lamb because Cedd's always going to get his well. LaQuan, 335 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: what's your concern level for George Pickens this none. I mean, look, 336 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: we're seeing Dak back to full strength. Honestly, Ceedee Lamb 337 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: is back in the house. He's going to be very 338 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: busy with passer Tan. But then you have George Pickens 339 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: where Dak is going to take a shot against Riley 340 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: Moss because right now he's allowing sixteen point nine yard 341 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: for reception. That is real nasty work leading the Broncos back, 342 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: I mean defenders. So I do think at the end 343 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: of the day, we see George Pickens making the chunk plays, 344 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: this is opportunity for Dak to really get connected with Pickens. 345 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: I honestly think Ceede Lamb's going to have a great 346 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: game as well. But I think, honestly, when you're looking 347 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: at this Cowboys offense, they're one of the top five 348 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: offenses that can get in striking distance and make the 349 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: points count. That Riley Moss thing you mentioned was a 350 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: reminder to me that for the short time I wrote 351 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: an IDP column here, one of the things I learned 352 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: quickly is that shut down corners are terrible IDP options. 353 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: You want the guy on the other side, Patrick tartan 354 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: great player, terrible IDP player. 355 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: Because nobody throws at him. I hate you get tackles picks. 356 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 5: It'd be like, oh, Jamar Chase, really good player, awful 357 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 5: in fantasy. Like that's that's why I just can't get 358 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: behind that. 359 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like if you just tip tidy p people, go 360 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: get Radley Moss because he's going to get a whole 361 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: opportunities to make tackles on that side. 362 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: We are not done with our weekend previews. We'll get 363 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: to some more of those a little bit after the break. 364 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: Also by week. 365 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: Replacements to help you out here and buy him again, 366 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: and that's coming up next here on the NFL Fantasy 367 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: Football show. I don't know if you've heard, there's six 368 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: teams on a buy this week. That means are going 369 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: to be a lot of open spaces in people's lineups. 370 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: So we've got some bye week replacements at the quarterback position, 371 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: the running back position, and a pass catcher whether it's 372 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: a wide receiver or a tight end. 373 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: We each have three. So uh lakwan, who do you 374 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: got this week is replaced? 375 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking at Michael Pennox this week. Man, I'm 376 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: hoping that Bejon gets them in striking distance. We look 377 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: at this Dolphins defense. They allowed four quarterbacks over QB 378 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: one numbers with twenty plus fantasy points, so I'm hoping 379 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: Pennis can be leaned on as a quarterback score of 380 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: six points and then Brashard Smith. Honestly, Matt Naggi experimenting 381 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: with the Raiders having a total of fifty two yards 382 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: in the first half and Mahomes had three touchdowns in 383 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: the first half also, so obviously he got a lot 384 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: of opportunities in the second half being that he was 385 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: able to out touch, hunt out touch, put checko, and 386 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: be able to have the opportunities in the red zone. 387 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: So looking at a Rondez Gastons Now his dad recently 388 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 3: had an interview said he's benched him twice this week, 389 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: I mean in the last two weeks. So we're hoping 390 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: that this week he keeps his word to the fantasy 391 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 3: streets and make sure that we don't mess up the groove. 392 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: And look that of Ronde Gaskins has been growing in 393 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: the fantasy streets right now. 394 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: Day has not even starting. You man, see that's rough Flord. 395 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: Who are your fine week guys. I coach on all 396 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: of those as well, OQ. I like all of them. 397 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: I also like Tyrod Taylor this week. Look, I know 398 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: that Jets. 399 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: Haven't a name the starter as of the time we 400 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 5: are recording this, but Woody Johnson's comments reveal all it's 401 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 5: gonna be Tyrod, it looks like and it's the Bengals, 402 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: so it's a very good matchup. They allow a ton 403 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 5: of production. I'm playing him in a couple of super 404 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 5: flex leagues. I think Woody Marks is a good option. 405 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 5: I know it wasn't the best product if you watched 406 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 5: Monday Night Football, but he played more snaps than Nick Chubb. 407 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 5: He had ten to fifteen carries. He was the running 408 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 5: back heavily utilized in the passing game and in the 409 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 5: red zone, which stood out to me, it's a better 410 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 5: matchup this week. And then Romeo Dobbs like, don't look now, 411 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 5: but all he does is in the last three weeks 412 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 5: is get eight or more targets. He's scored double digits 413 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 5: in each of those games, and he's averaging seventeen Fantasy 414 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 5: points per game. Plus favoral matchup the Steelers, they haven't 415 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 5: been the best team against the receivers. 416 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: And you might have heard there's maybe a little bit 417 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: of an extra incentive in this game. So yeah, I 418 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: think Dobbs didn't play this week. Yeah, I do like that. 419 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: The Packer passing game has pretty much funneled itself down 420 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: to Romeo Dobbs in Matthew Golden with Tucker the wide receivers. 421 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 2: I should say Tucker Craft is in there too at 422 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 2: the tight ends. 423 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: Worry Watson's coming to ruin that all. 424 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, right for me, you have Tyrod Taylor. I'm gonna 425 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 2: take the quarterback on the other side in that game 426 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: is Joe Flacco, right. I mean, Joe Flack has a 427 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: lot of teams he could probably get. 428 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: Ride on, but he's come out. 429 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: He's played well in his two games since taken over 430 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: as a starter there in Cincinnati. I mean, it helps 431 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: when you've got Jamar Chase and T Higgins to throw to. 432 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 2: But he looks fantastic. The Jets are kind of a 433 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: mess right now. They're better defensively than they are offensively, 434 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 2: but even that is sort of relatively speaking at the 435 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: running back spot, Tyler Aljeer. 436 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: Now, look, I think Bjon Robinson is going. 437 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: To go ham on the Dolphins of this week, but 438 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: there's still room for Tyler Algier because he's getting touches 439 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 2: and he's doing a lot with them. Generally, he seems 440 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: to find the end zone more often than not. They'll 441 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: rip off a twenty twenty five yard run. So I 442 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: understand it's not gonna be a ton of touches, but 443 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: they could be high value touches and he's worth maybe 444 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 2: sliding in as a flex if you need him too. 445 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: And we talked about Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers offense. 446 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: Tess Johnson has stepped in there and of the the 447 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: Johnson brothers air quotes brothers that they've got there in 448 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, Tes seemed to be the one who's getting 449 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: most of the opportunities, So I like him, especially with 450 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: no Mike Evans, no Chris Godwin. You know, ABUCA hopefully 451 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: is a little bit healthier, but no Bucky Irving either, 452 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: so at some point Baker's got to find somewhere else 453 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: to go with the football in tes Johnson seems to 454 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: be the guy who was getting those opportunities and finding 455 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 2: the end zone. 456 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 4: So there can be Fantasy MVP this week. 457 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: I mean this week he really could be. 458 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he might be one of those 459 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: waiver wire pickup of the Year type candidates to go 460 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: on how things go the rest of the season. Back 461 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 2: to our Week eight previews, we got the forty nine 462 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: ers heading down to Houston to take on the text 463 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a reunion with the Kyle 464 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: Shanahan facing off against his old former defensive coordinator in 465 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: Demico Ryans. The Texans, for all of their awfulness on offense, 466 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 2: they are a good defensive team. 467 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: Florio, I mean, we saw them. 468 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: They didn't stop Jackson, Smith and Jig But but nobody 469 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: really has this year is it hasn't really counted anything. 470 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: The Niners receivers have been beat up. They have been 471 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: up and down. 472 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 2: Would you start a Niners receiver this week against Houston? 473 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 2: And if so, which one I. 474 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Would prefer not to? 475 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 4: But with six teams on by, that is kind of difficult. 476 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: To me. 477 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 5: It also kind of depends on who the quarterback is. 478 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 5: I know Kendrick Bourne faded this week, but there is 479 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 5: still clear chemistry there between him and Mac Jones. If 480 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 5: it is brought Perdy, I think then it's Jennings. Like 481 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: I think Jennings is in play with Jones as well, 482 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 5: But if it's Purty, to me, it's him, No questions asked, 483 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 5: because he has that rapport with Purdy. 484 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. 485 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: It's the Purty Jennings, It's the Jones born situation there. 486 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: Rick Ricky Piersoll hopefully back as well this week for 487 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: the forty nine. 488 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: Ers, So really who knows? Giants at the Eagles? 489 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 2: The Giants coming off that heartbreaking loss last week through 490 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. The Eagles though, got the passing game 491 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: going both the skinny and small batman got involved with 492 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: quand do we get more of aj Brown and DeVonta 493 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 2: Smith this week? 494 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean, does Jalen Hurts continue to press the ball downfield? 495 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: I think so, man. 496 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 3: I think honestly, when you look back two weeks ago 497 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 3: when they faced the Giants, I mean, Jalen Hurts actually 498 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: was good in that game, completed over seventy percent of 499 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 3: his passion, was just under three hundred passing yards. If 500 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: they're going to keep this momentum, I think they continue 501 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: on getting skinning batman and obviously big batman, normal batman 502 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: at this point, right, is that what AJ Brown? 503 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: Normal? 504 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 4: Just batman? 505 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, they're gonna both be 506 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 3: able to have the opportunity to put up yards against 507 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: this Giants defense that's at bottom of the table. They're 508 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: twenty knife in overall defense. And I do think that 509 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 3: the Eagles they're going to keep this momentum going and 510 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: they want to get their look back two weeks ago 511 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 3: that they took that out. 512 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 5: I personally love the fact that AJ Brown had a 513 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 5: huge game and he was like, that's why you should 514 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: throw me the ball, Eddy. 515 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: I love it. I mean he said it after that 516 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: game against the Rams too. He's like, the reason we 517 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: won because you know they're throwing me the ball more 518 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: so exactly, Man, it works, speak your truth. Aj whatever 519 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: jents at the Bengals. 520 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: You and I both picked a quarterback in that game 521 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: as a biary replace, with Tyrod likely starting it's not 522 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: official yet, but likely starting for the Jets. Does that 523 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: change how you feel about any of the Jets? Skill 524 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: position guys are the guys you might start now that 525 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: you wouldn't have started before, or vice versa. 526 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: The issue is. 527 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 5: Who's playing for them, right, Like Garret Wilson's up in 528 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 5: the air, Breece Hall's up in the air. 529 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: I think Brice Hall, if. 530 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 5: He's active, he's very much so a start this week 531 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: in a great matchup against the Bengals. I think we 532 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 5: don't know about Garrett Wilson receiver wise. I'm not doing 533 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 5: like Josh Reynold thing or any of that. I do 534 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 5: think Mason Taylor though I know the last couple of 535 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 5: weeks have been not the best, but the Bengals have 536 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 5: allowed the most fantasy points touchdowns to tight ends. Like 537 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 5: it's just a matchup thing and hey, maybe they'll be 538 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 5: able to complete a pass. Their owner's words and not mine, 539 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 5: But besides that, it's just kind of plugging in Tyrod 540 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 5: for fields and super flexing, so. 541 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: Not Alan Lazard. That's what I'm getting right there, Lizard King. 542 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: Not al all right. 543 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 2: We'll have some more Week eight previews later on in 544 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: the week. We'll get to the Sunday night game and 545 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: the Monday night game. There's only one, only one Monday 546 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: night game this week. 547 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: It's time to see who will deliver. 548 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: Presented by Uber Eats, we're giving you our top sleepers 549 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: for the week. 550 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: Who is your Snorelax this week? 551 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: Lakwan No Offense. I honestly like the matchup. When you're 552 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 3: looking against the Jets. They're allowing the second most touchdowns 553 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 3: to the tight end position and no Fan ran a 554 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: season high thirty five routes last week. So I'm looking 555 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: at this guy taking over as the tight end one 556 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: for the Bengals, and I think No Offan he could 557 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: be in play as a red zone target for pretty 558 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: Flokker to just throw one up in the basket and 559 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: have him be fantasy relevant this week with Trey McBride, 560 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: Brock Bauers on By and La Florida. So I'm in 561 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 3: a situation where I missed a lot of those tight 562 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: ends on the waiver wires, and No Offense its just 563 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 3: sitting there in a fable matchup. 564 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: It would be wild if like this is where Noah 565 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: fan finally pops right, because it just never happened for 566 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: him at any point. So if this is the one 567 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: that gets it done, that would actually be kind of amusing. 568 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: Uh Floya your sleeper. 569 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 5: Uh Kylemnung guy who last week played almost half the 570 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 5: snaps just under it, but sixteen opportunities turn it into 571 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 5: nearly one hundred yards a touchdown, seventeen fantasy points and 572 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 5: what I love. Since their bye week, Bears are running 573 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 5: the ball at the third highest rate in the NFL, 574 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 5: specifically on outside zone runs, third highest rate, and the 575 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 5: Ravens have allowed these second most fantasy points per game. 576 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 5: Two running backs a little bit less uh more game 577 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 5: script dependent than say DeAndre Swift. But I do think 578 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 5: he's in play as a sleeper. 579 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. I do like my own guy as a sleeper 580 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: this week. 581 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bears Bears have figured out so he sort 582 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: of is there something about Rutgers guys because he runs 583 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 2: kind of like Isaiah Pacheco, not quite as angry, Like 584 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 2: he's not quite stomping on the grass, but I see 585 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: a little bit of it there, Like I don't. 586 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: Know if this is a Rutgers thing. That they teach 587 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: their game from Jersey Jersey. 588 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he tried to hurdle a guy like if he 589 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 3: was Brian Leonard or something. I mean, another Rutger guy. 590 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 4: We just want to hurdle. 591 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: Man hurdle is out there. I guess I gotta look 592 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: that up my sleeper of the week, and I promise 593 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 2: you that I'm not making this player up. Chim Ray 594 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: DK down with the Tennessee Titans. 595 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: Who him Ray DK? And I know we spent all. 596 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: Year talking about elic Iomanner, but DK was the guy 597 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: that the Titans actually drafted first. He went about thirty 598 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 2: picks ahead of Iomner in the draft. Really wasn't getting 599 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: a whole lot of opportunity. But since Brian Callahan has 600 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: moved on. First, Callahan gave up the play calling duties 601 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: and then he was let go as head coach. Since 602 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: to give up the play calling duties, a couple of 603 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: weeks ago, they started to sort of unleash DK a 604 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: little bit more. They're getting him on the field, letting 605 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: him run more routes, so letting him be more of 606 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: a downfield threat, which is what he was in college 607 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: and cam Ward as they've simplified the offense for him, 608 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: trying to get him more involved, trying to make things 609 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: happen for DK. So I like the matchup. The Colts 610 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: have been actually been giving up a lot of yards 611 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: and touchdowns to receivers. Also, I do expect that the 612 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: Titans will be playing from behind, having. 613 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: To throw the football a little bit more. So. I 614 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: think DK is a guy that you know. 615 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: Again, we're talking six teams on a buyalk in deeper leagues, 616 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: we're talking a flex situation like you know, I don't want. 617 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: You know, I started you know, I started him over 618 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: George Pickens. Like, don't do that, play him over George Pickens. 619 00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: They don't do that. 620 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: So Jim Ray d K maybe a name that we're 621 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: talking about. When this week is all said and done, 622 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: that is it. 623 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: We are done. 624 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show. 625 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: You know the drill. 626 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and 627 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 2: remember the first thing about becoming a zombie. It's all 628 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: the walking you have to do, be safe, to take 629 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 2: care of yourselves. 630 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again real soon.
