I 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: am Dale Lolly here with Matt Wins in time for 4 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Focus and Matt are DFS lineup looking 5 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: pretty solid here going into tonight's game. We still have 6 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: one player left, but we are in the money right 7 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: now with a hundred and fifty three point three four 8 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: points with Travis Kelsey best tight ended fantasy. I'm sure 9 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: plenty of other people have Kelsey tonight. That's fine. We're 10 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: still We had Tom Brady twenty two point seven four points. 11 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad, not great, but not bad. He's 12 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: throwing them all fifty two times two straight weeks, like 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: throwing the lot. We had Nick Shub with his hundred 14 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: thirty four rushing yards and uh two rushing touchdowns. He 15 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: was only owned at eleven point three percent of leagues. 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Brady was at thirty point one. That's what. That didn't 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: affect our in that game. Oh yeah, we also had 18 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: Romandra Stevenson. It's just five hundred eighteen point eight percent 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: ownership and he just had a monster game. Monster Harris 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: got hurt, Yeah, he got hurt late in the game. 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: But I mean Stevenson was doing well anyway. He's like 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: a top ten back if Harris is out, yeah high, Yeah, 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean he gets all the receptions too. We had 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay at four. I like how they used him 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: much ownership. He had five catches for fifty four yards 26 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: and twenty four rushing yards bonus the seventy eight total yards. Boy, 27 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: they kicked away from him too. Yes, they did not 28 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: want absolutely for that for that money, and uh allowed 29 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: us to pay up for Mike Evans. That didn't work 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: out so well, but he hadn't it just didn't score. 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: We had George Pickens at Fort Dred not gonna get 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: that again. He had not got twenty seven points out 33 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: of DuVernay and Pickens at it combined eighty seven hundred dollars. 34 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: That's why we're in the money. Yeah. Uh, that allowed 35 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: us and to also get Dallas Goddard eleven point three. 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: Pickens was owned a nine point six lineups. By the way, 37 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Goddard was an eleven point three percent of line ups. 38 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: That's a solid day there. We still have Kelsey to 39 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: go tonight. He was he doesn't counts the tight end. 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: He's a come as a receiver. I'm gonna start thinking 41 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: that way from here on out, because that's why I 42 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: thought Kyle Pitch would be. You know, but his price 43 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: when you compare it to the other top receivers, and 44 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: it's always much less like if we wanted to know, 45 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: if we wanted to, like if we want to chase 46 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: or you know, one of those guys, it would cost 47 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: us over eight thousand. But we stick him in the 48 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: tight end, Sla. We can either stick him in the 49 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: tight end Slaughter, we can use them as a flex 50 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: like we did here. And you know, it's wonder I mean, 51 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: if if we picked Kelsey every week every week as 52 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: the tight end and then whatever your flexes, who cared? 53 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Ian we could be a tight end, it doesn't matter. 54 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: Would we win more than we lose? I bet the 55 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: answer if we pick right on that other tight end 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: we were right with Goddard this week, Well you don't 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: have to pick another tight end, right, we don't have 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: to finding a player who's who's you know, I feel 59 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: confident we could do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, 60 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: but yeah, getting Kelsey every week is a kind of 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: a cheap code, and it kind of is. Yeah, so 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: we'll see what he does every week. We had we 63 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: hit this right. The Dallas Cowboys defense. They were in 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: a fifty two percent of the league. They were they 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: were way too cheap. They scored the score five sacks 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and interceptions to fumble recoveries, a defensive touchdown. They blocked 67 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a kick. Uh, they gave up between seven and thirteen points. 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: They had twenty three points overall. Good points were blocking kicks. Uh. 69 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: You ust I've never seen that in fantasy. But so 70 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the guy who is leading this week has two one 71 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: another side note, I wonder if picking the defense that 72 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: plays the Rams is good business too. My people might 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: think they're still good, but yeah, they're gonna allows. They're 74 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: actually five teams tied for first. I would guess they 75 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: all have the same lineup. Uh. I wonder what the 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: home run is. So they had Josh Allen Yeah. Uh. 77 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: They had Leonard four Nett at thirty five point nine points. 78 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: Does nicec We talked about all week, but they really 79 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: featured him. He had like thirteen targets in that game. 80 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they had Bruce Hall mhmah, Tyler Lockett. Yeah, 81 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: he ended up with thirty point four points. Yeah, he 82 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: had a good game. Uh. They had Chris Godwin, Christal Lave, 83 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee at tight end. That's he was even cheaper 84 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: than Goddard. Jeff Wilson Jr. He had think yeah, hundred 85 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys defense. The Cowboys defense I think 86 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: was probably the one. Yeah. Interesting, so fishy again, that's 87 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: what that's what we want. What we're four one in 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: terms of finishing in the in the cash. That was 89 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: actually in a ten dollar game this week instead of 90 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: the usual five. Nice. Taking a look at this week's 91 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: top performers. Center Josh Allen, of course, was the leader 92 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Carson Wentz week week Carson Wentz with three 93 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: fifty nine and two touchdowns in the loss to the Titans, 94 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: only seventeen points. That produced Brady with three fifty one 95 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: in a touchdown times they only three They only scored 96 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: twenty one points. Yeah. Uh, Kenny pickttre seven no touchdowns. 97 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Steelers only scored three points. Matthew Stafford had three oh 98 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: eight in a touchdown. They only scored ten points. They 99 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: have the worst running game I've ever seen. Yeah, I 100 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: mean those guys doing nothing. Kirk Cousins had two ninety 101 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: six and a touchdown and there win nine are rushed 102 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Yeah. Trevor Lawrence to eighties six no touchdowns, 103 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: two interceptions. Uh, they scored six points. Russell Wilson in 104 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: that game Thursday night at to seventy four no touchdowns, 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: they scored nine points. There's a there's a common theme here. 106 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Not a lot of fantasy points with the top passers. Yeah, 107 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot of yards, but not many touchdowns. Now. 108 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Geno Smith to sixty eight and three touchdowns. He's playing 109 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: well man, he's very fantasy relevant. And then Jimmy g 110 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: was the final to fifty three, number ten in terms 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: of yards. They got Kiddle back involved and spread it 112 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: around pretty well. Yeah. Do you think Deebo Samuel like 113 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: I think, had sixty ish or so, but they spread 114 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: it around. There were ten guys who who were within 115 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: shouting distance of a hundred or went over a hundred 116 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: rushing yards this weekend, led by Austin Ekeler sixteen east 117 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: for a hundred and seventy three yards. Kind of thought 118 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: it was coming. Yeah. Ramanderie Stevenson had twenty five for 119 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: one sixty one in that game against the Lions. Chubb 120 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: on the other side of that seventeen for one thirty four. 121 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: He averaged seven point nine yards of carry, two touchdowns. 122 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Seventeen for one twenty in a touchdown. 123 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: Uh raheem most eight team for one thirteen in a 124 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: touchdown non existence. Yeah, which is kind of strange since 125 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: they were getting killed. You thought the the third down back, 126 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the receiving back would be Edmonds had like point one points. 127 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: You have one carry. Tassom flipping Hill, Yeah, he could 128 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: have been a tight end for you. Nine for one 129 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: twelve and three touchdowns, also through for a touchdown. I 130 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: needed a tight end this week because Pits. I looked 131 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: at him. I looked at of what you said, Tanyan, 132 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Tanyan and Cincinnati. Uh yeah, hest Heirst and I went 133 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: with the worst guy. I went with Tanya because it 134 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: was the early game, Hearst was Hearst was banged up. 135 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: I didn't want to wait for the late game on 136 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: that one. And I couldn't pick up Taysom Hill because 137 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: he plays like twelve snaps a game. The only difference 138 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: was every time he's on the field, you know he's 139 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: getting the football or they couldn't stop him. Nine for 140 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: one twelve with three touchdowns. Yeah, that's been a monster game. 141 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: He also got a point for recovering a fumble on 142 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: specialty you know not not everyone gets those options. Al 143 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: alvid Kamara also had twenty three for one oh three, 144 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: but no touchdowns. We touched Taysom Hill scored them all. Oh, 145 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I know, trust me, my my main league. I finally 146 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: had a good week. I had Ramandre Camara um but 147 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: my team had zero touchdowns. It's amazing I've had. It's 148 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: almost hard to do. I've I've put five lineups in 149 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: and everyone does I have four touchdowns this year? Nice? Nice? Yeah, 150 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: that's what I'm not so sure if the Steelers did 151 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: play the Seahawks right now, that they would necessarily lose. 152 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: They go to yard rushers in the same game. The 153 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks defense is worse than Steelers offense or d It's 154 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: it's the worst, really really bad. Yeah. Derrick Henry had 155 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: a nice game for one oh two and two touchdowns. Again, 156 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: a lot of volume, get the scores. But he's not 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: breaking the big ones this year. No, he's not. He's 158 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: He's been instrumental in the Titans getting back to respectability. 159 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: He's a rare player, but he's not the same. Yeah, 160 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean his long run in that game was fifteen. Yeah, 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: that's I mean usually he had because that's you're just 162 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna load up and stop him and if they want 163 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: to try to throw the ball, have at it. Uh. 164 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: Nine was Damian Pierce twenty six carries for ninety nine 165 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. I don't think it matters, and 166 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: he had a twenty yard running there. He's their whole offense. Yeah, 167 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: So he had twenty seven for seventy nine. I mean yeah. 168 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: Breece Hall then eight team for nine seven, a lot 169 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: of catches and he touchdown. Also had a lot of 170 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: catches there. Dalvin Cook eight receiving, Yeah he did. He 171 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: had two hundred total yards. Dalvin Cook at eight team 172 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: for ninety four and two touchdowns. Is he disappointing this year? 173 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: Is he just okay? I mean those top backs, he's 174 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: probably been the one that's Yeah. Like if we were 175 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: re picking, do you think he goes fifth again? Like, yeah, 176 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: he's certainly a first. Yeah. Kenneth Walker eight for eighty 177 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: eight and a touchdown or shot Penny now out with 178 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: the season Walker, I mean I might even pick up 179 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: Dallas or Homer or one of those guys. The league. 180 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: But I think Walkers now see the new Romandre Stevenson. 181 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like, is he gonna have those kind of 182 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: stat lines? It's possible. Yeah, I mean they're gonna run 183 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: the but they don't run the ball as much as 184 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: you think they don't. But he's going to be the 185 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: lead back there now. Curious what he does as a receiver. 186 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard at eight for eighty six in a touchdown. 187 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: He had a fifty seven yard or but Zeke had 188 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: like twenty two carries. I don't think it's gonna change. 189 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: He's the better back. He's the better back. But I 190 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: might trade him right now if he could, because I 191 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: don't think they agree with us. Joe Mixon fourteen for 192 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: seventy eight. He was solid in that game, and they 193 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: just didn't give them ball enough, and they didn't then 194 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: in typical Bengal coach Taylor fashion, two minutes drill, third 195 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: and eight, he's not on the sideline. Ezekiel Elliott twenty 196 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: two for seventy eight, three point five yards of carry. 197 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: One guy averages ten yards of carry, the other guy 198 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: over just three point five. By all means, keep running, 199 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: the guy runs three averages three point five Collard might 200 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: be your Richard Huntley conversation a little like, I don't 201 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: know if he can get twenty five a week, but 202 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: I try to get him ten to fifteen touches a week. Yeah, 203 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: you're not even throwing him football. They need he needs, 204 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: he needs Dak Prescott back. Dak Prescott will throw it 205 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: down football. But you should get Carries a t n 206 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: at ten for seventy one in that game. He's coming around. Yeah, 207 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: he might be a bilow. I don't know if you 208 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: get him low after this week though. I mean if 209 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: it started the season so slow, ye, uh, hundred yard 210 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: receivers where they were ten of those, Gabe Davis leading 211 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: away with three for one seventy one and two touchdowns. Yeah, 212 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: you catch a ninety Yeah, Justin Jefferson twelve for one 213 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: fifty four but no touchdowns. But he does every week. 214 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: He didn't do it every week he had two down weeks. Yeah. Uh. 215 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: Mike Williams ten for one thirty four against that Brown's defense, 216 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: bad awful. They can't they can't stop anybody from running 217 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: the ball, and they're susceptible on the back of um 218 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: Cooper cup healthier and it doesn't matter. Yeah, Cooper Cup 219 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: had seven for one in a touchdown. That's actually a 220 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: slow day for him, right, I mean, it's amazing. The 221 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: whole world knows that's all they have and he still 222 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: gets one five a week. Jacoby Myers at seven for 223 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: one eleven and a touchdown. A good example of start 224 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: your guys against the Lions. Ye Lions in Seattle or 225 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: high on my list of start your dues against Diane 226 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: Brown with Washington two for five and two touchdowns. He 227 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: was he replaced, thoughts. Don't just run out and grab 228 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: him two catches. I don't know how many targets he had, 229 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: probably five. It wasn't menty. Marvin Jones seven for one 230 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: oh four. I didn't even know that. I might brought 231 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: it out for that either. They're looking for one more 232 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: weapon though they didn't throw the ball a Kirk at 233 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: all this week. It's just maddening. They could use a 234 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: speedy guy. Tyler Lockett doing it again, five for one 235 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: oh four and two touchdowns. Are you holding on? He's 236 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: a really good player, and I think he knows good 237 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: enough for fantasy reasons. Stefon Diggs at eight for one 238 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: oh two and a touchdown. Some of that was later 239 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: he had like seven for fifty seven on his for 240 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: caught a forty one yard or they catch him run late, 241 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: but rather Diggs or Chase other digs. Yeah, they're taking 242 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: Chase away more. And then you as you mentioned Bruce 243 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: Hall two for one hundred and rose was only two catches. 244 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: He had seventy nine yards. He didn't score on it. 245 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: That's tough to do, is he. I've been telling people 246 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: he's taking over that backfield. Don't be afraid of rookies. 247 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb seven are right now. Yeah. I think he 248 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: has like fourteen targets only completed half of them. I mean, 249 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: he's there number one because I don't trust anybody else. 250 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: Lazar is truly the number one, but Cobb's gonna be 251 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: out there a lot. And that's just the state of Rogers. 252 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Rogers trusts him, he does. That's the Dallas Goddard nice state. 253 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds SWO. In that game, he had like ten targets. 254 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: Ye Kamara had six one You getta like that? Yeah? Yeah, 255 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews at eighty nine in a touchdown. He's pretty 256 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: much like that every week. Yeah, and Joeku did it 257 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: again six eight eight. I think he's real. Do you 258 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: see a Mariy Cooper last series he pulled himself out. 259 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, yeah I got I got 260 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: no use for um DK Metcalf five for eight eight 261 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. I would you sell on. I would 262 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: be more inclined to keep lock it. You get more 263 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: for Metcalf from then Metcalf. I think Metcalf he's not 264 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: going to have the blow up games like he did before. 265 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: Probably not, But I don't think he has a stinkers either. 266 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: In you know, he's not awful, but he's not. I 267 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: think he's more a name right now than he is 268 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: in terms of Fantasy Superduction. I would I might look 269 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: to move on from if I can upgrade on that, 270 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: I can chan with somebody else, swap him out for 271 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: a back in eat or something like that, or use 272 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: him in a deal to get Mark Andrews or something 273 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: something like Davante Smith ten for eight seven. I think 274 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: I trust him. Yeah, he's solid. They throw the ball 275 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: more than people think. Four Net had ten for eighty 276 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: three in a touchdown, a lot of targets. Here's the thing, 277 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: He's playing like fifty of the snaps with White's getting 278 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: the other Whites. White's a thing. White's a thing. I mean, 279 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: if if four net stubs his toe, White's a monster. Yeah, 280 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: they're they're cutting into it and he's eating into four nets. 281 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: Time Pickens had six for eighty three. Still looking for 282 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: that first touchdown, but it's coming. Is he an every 283 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: week starter for Fantasy? I think he is. Yeah. Are 284 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: you open to Deonte verse pickings for Fantasy conversation or 285 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: is that still clearly Deonte? Uh? Deonte had way more 286 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: targets yesterday, Like he's still there's I think they're both viable. 287 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: Claypole is not claps not right, all right? I still 288 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: would pick Deonte for Fantasy over pickings. Alec Pierce had 289 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: eight for eighty one. He was one of the only 290 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: things in that game that was fun to watch. Yeah, 291 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean it was one of this most miserable game 292 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, but he was one of like the 293 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: only positives I took out of that and said, he's 294 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: what I thought he was coming out since now he's good. 295 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: Mike Evans for for eighty one is kind of a yeah. 296 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton in that game against the Packers for the 297 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Giants six for seventy nine. They keep saying he's the 298 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: only guy who can stay healthy. You're gonna have any 299 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: kind of faith then, and they won Marquis Brown at 300 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: eight for seventy eight in a touchdown. Yeah, Marcus Brown 301 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: has some solid stock. Cooper actually had seven for seventy 302 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: six and a touchdown in the game. So Joco and 303 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: Cooper both produced. Yeah, people's jones isn't bad either. McLaurin 304 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: five for seventy six. Are you looking to trade McLaurin 305 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: at this point? I own him everywhere. I love him. 306 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: He never scores. That's my curses here. I can't get touchdowns, 307 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: but he's good. I think you could get something for him. 308 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I think it's similar to the met Keff. If you 309 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: look at his production, it's always seventy hundred yards, usually 310 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: late in the game for scores. Um. Yeah, Evan Ingram 311 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: six for sixty nine. Are you believing in Evan Ingram 312 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: is a tight end? They need weapons right now? Um, 313 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: that's try my son that to end up picking up. 314 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: So he wasn't too distressed. I wish I would have, 315 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: but he was all over Taysom Hill and talked himself 316 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, that would have been a little better 317 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: kind of did the same thing. I mean, that's a 318 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: gut tea move it is. I mean, it's it's a 319 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: it's a real dart throw. Um. You know. The reason 320 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: I thought about it was because I've watched a game 321 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: the week before, and they'll use him When Dalton is 322 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback, they had packages for him when they especially 323 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: some goal line stuff. Um. You know, it doesn't seem 324 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: like they want to do that, you know, if if 325 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: less so with Winston in there. Yeah, they're they're very 326 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, and I wonder we've had this conversation at time. 327 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: Should this coaching staff just do the Dalton Hills stuff 328 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: or Winston downfield stuff? You know, like it's very different. 329 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: I can make an argument for both. Yeah. Well, I 330 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: mean they what do they won their last two with Dalton. 331 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: They were overseas. That's right. They didn't win that game. 332 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: They did not win that game, but they were competitive, 333 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: they had a chance to win it. Um. I think 334 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: they're more competitive. I think he fits more with what 335 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: they want to do defensively, make it go through Kamara 336 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: and defense. Yeah, take some Hill sprinkled in and maybe 337 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: because he's not gonna make the mistakes that Jamis will no, No, 338 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: So I could I could see them sticking with that 339 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: still if issue, If they stick with him, Hill's a 340 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: viable get picked up in every lead to He's a 341 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: viable tight end option if they stick with Dalton. So 342 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: if they go back to Winston, I don't believe he is. 343 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: So many of us are fighting. The tight ends are brutal. 344 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: You don't have Andrews, you don't have Kelsey. If you 345 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: there's like three that you're kind of happy with God 346 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: or kind of happy with Friar move. But I mean 347 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of them are Logan Thomas can't commit, you know, 348 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean like guys that don't even catch passes. Are 349 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: you putting like of your fab money in for Taysom 350 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: Hill that I mean we're talking about Evan Ingram here too. 351 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: He's probably available to put in more for I mean, 352 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: Angle knows the tight end isn't get thrown too every week. 353 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the field all the time. Could 354 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: play five snaps, Yeah, his five snaps could be five. 355 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: It might be it might be five five snaps within 356 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: the five all right, but I mean you might throw 357 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown on the punt team, all right, something good. 358 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: He's just hoping you're you know, you're hoping to get 359 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: eight points at him every week. But he should be 360 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: in every league now, yeah, assuming you can put him 361 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: in his tight end, but you can't use yeah, I 362 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: mean why not, right right? Why not cheating or you know, Yeah, 363 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: he is what he is the end um. Yeah, I 364 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: mean that's that's kind of where we're at right now 365 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: with the tight end position in fantasy football. It's right. 366 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: I mean, guys like Pitts you can't count on. Yeah, 367 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see if he comes back this week. 368 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: And if he does, if they've I still have hope 369 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: he would still be a biload for me. But I 370 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: might have to take one more shot to the face 371 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: before I say I'm done. They even hardly use London 372 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: when he was out. Like if I was a London owner, 373 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm not anywhere he'd be. Like Pitts is out, he's 374 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna tear it up. It's okay, But they don't throw 375 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: the ball. They don't throw the ball, and they don't 376 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: throw the ball. Yeah, I'm hoping they go they make 377 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: the move here soon to the Yeah, that could be 378 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: in the cards. I mean it's soon. They don't win 379 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: games they're just competitive in him, right, you might as 380 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: well look at the kid, might as well get the 381 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: kid in there. Do you think he's the next rookie 382 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: to get in? I do. It's not gonna be. It 383 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: has to be not via injury, right not Bailey's happy, 384 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, right right? Right? Yeah, he has to be. 385 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: I would imagine, I would think, I mean, you know 386 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: that that's just kind of Willis is too far away 387 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: and they're competitive? Could how get in? That's what I 388 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: was wanting stuff out there today with with um and Ron, 389 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: Rivera was asked what's the difference between his team and 390 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: the other teams in the a f C or the 391 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: NFC East, and he said the quarterback. Wow. So nobody 392 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: likes Wins. Anyone that hangs out with him doesn't like him, 393 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: and they publicly tell you that. I don't even hide 394 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: it anymore. But my question though, is if you're Rivera 395 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: and you hate Wins, which apparently is the case, would 396 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: you put Heineke in or how you must well ripped 397 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: the band aid off? And I mean, we don't, right, 398 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: but he had a good preseason. He should the benefit round. 399 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: He has more talented Heineke, you know exactly what he 400 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: is and it limits you to no end. I mean, 401 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: heine my game day too right now. But if it's 402 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: the seasons of disaster, yeah, and it's reaching disaster status 403 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: from getting pretty close. Yeah.
