1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Warmley, joining this Friday morning by Derek Brown and

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: my Pat Fitz Morris Bellas it's a key questions show.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Before we dive into the show, we want to do

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: a quick recap of Thursday night football, as we often do.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers, thirty six Seahawks twenty four. In this one,

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: Actually sure what the single biggest takeaway is.

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: There were kind of two that I wanted to highlight

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: that I'll ask you guys about. One of them is,

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: obviously the running back situation for San Francisco. Jordan Mason

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: did leave the game. He came back in for a

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: play and then left again. Didn't play pretty much the

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: entire second half. We did get a very long run

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: to close it out from Isaac Garendo on the San

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Francisco side.

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: He didn't do a.

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: Ton prior to that. Is he a priority add for

19
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: you guys next week? Are you waiting to see what happens?

20
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: You know with some of the injury updates for Mason,

21
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: How are you approaching this backfield right now?

22
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Debro?

23
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: I think Grenda needs to be at the top of

24
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: the list. I think Patrick Taylor is definitely going to

25
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: be involved. But if you want the upside play if

26
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: Mason wordem is time, which we can't discount. He tried

27
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: to come back in the second half, got one carry.

28
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: If everybody bet Jordan Mason rushing overs like me, you

29
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: would have liked to see one more carry for Jordan Mason,

30
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: but it didn't happen. So I think Grindo showed exactly

31
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: what you want out of the type of handcuff like situation,

32
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: Like he has the big play opportunity and the ability.

33
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 3: You know, we can debate on raw talent for days,

34
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: but he does have that straight line speed. If you

35
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: give him a crease, he could take one of the

36
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: house and he almost did it last night. So Grindo

37
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: needs to be picked up everywhere.

38
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: But people, Fitz, do you agree that Grendo needs to

39
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: be picked up even if let's say we get good

40
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: news on Jordan Mason in the coming week and it

41
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: seems like he's going to play in week seven, do

42
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: you still think Garendo needs to be rostered even though

43
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: in that scenario he's really a backup to a guy

44
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: that's already you know, serving as a backup.

45
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, a workload in a Kyle Shanahan offense for running

46
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: back is like a golden ticket. It is a willy

47
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: want a golden ticket for fantasy. And you know, Isaac

48
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: Garndo playing behind a guy who now probably isn't going

49
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: to be healthy by next week. So yeah, I do

50
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: think he's a priority AD. And I was entertained by

51
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: Isaac Garendo being on Twitter today asking EA Sports not

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: to give him, not to dock him in his speed

53
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: rating because he chose to go down inside the five

54
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: yard line.

55
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: I did.

56
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: I thought he chose to go down when I was

57
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: watching that live, and then I saw some people on

58
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Twitter that were saying like the Seahawks were dumb for

59
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: tackling him. I know the Seahawks did kind of dive

60
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: whichever defender was and kind of bring him down a bit,

61
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: but it looked to me like he was sliding on purpose.

62
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did get tripped up, so it was a

63
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: little vague and hard to tell, but to me, it

64
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: looked like he kind of did take a dive inside

65
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: the five and then they went on and scored the

66
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: touchdown anyway, so you might as well just the end

67
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: up exactly the question.

68
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring up.

69
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Fits on the Seahawks side. Kenneth Walker, somebody I was

70
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: really high on in August. So I have a lot

71
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: of places, you know, not the best running day fourteen

72
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: for thirty two. He did get a touchdown, which helped.

73
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: But I want to bring up the pass catching eight target.

74
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: It's caught all eight of them, just thirty seven yards.

75
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: But that is a real difference maker in PPR and

76
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: half FPR leagues, and I saw I think it was

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: rich Reebar friend of the show, was tweeting last night

78
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: how it just really raises the floor and there's like

79
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a case for Walker as RB one rest of the season.

80
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he said he had him there, but

81
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: like with pass catching like this, you can at least

82
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: build that case for a guy like Walker. Do you

83
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: feel the same way Fits just seeing the pass catching

84
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: last night.

85
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, pass catching add that to the mix with Kenneth Walker,

86
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: to the explosiveness he gives you as a runner, and

87
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: we are talking about a top five fantasy back, So

88
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: very exciting what we saw from him in the passing game.

89
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, deep Row, did you think.

90
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: I remember a time boys when people on Twitter said

91
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: that Kenneth Walker didn't have hands and that he probably

92
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: couldn't catch a football. So it's really nice to see

93
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: the pass catching up side. I mean, honestly, this makes

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: a matchup proof. You're telling me he's gonna get He's

95
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: got eight targets in each of the last two games.

96
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: He's had at least thirty six receiving yards in each

97
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: last three games. Yeah, I mean, he's matchup proof regardless

98
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: if he's not gonna get it done on the ground,

99
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: and we've seen he can do that because he's one

100
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: of the best rushing talents in the NFL. If he's

101
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: not doing that, if he's getting this type of pass

102
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 3: game usage. Right now, I've got him as RB four

103
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: in my rest of season rankings, but I think the

104
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: conversation for him starts at RB two. I think he's

105
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: firmly in the same conversation as Breeze Hall and Derek

106
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: Henry right now.

107
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Interesting game for the for the passing attack for Seattle

108
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: because they had to throw a lot because they're trailing

109
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: for most of the game. So Gino did get over

110
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, but it wasn't a good Geno day,

111
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: and so a lot of receivers struggled because of that.

112
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: You know, JSN.

113
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: Metcalf getting a sixty yard touchdown white stupid penalty.

114
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: That was DK Metcalf three catches on eleven targets just

115
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: forty eight yards, and we missed out on a fifty

116
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: yard touchdown on an irrelevant penalty.

117
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: We also sign out on the short touchdown where his

118
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: big toe was over the line. Man to day, if

119
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: you were a DK Metcalf investor.

120
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah that is over like me.

121
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we're worried about him long term,

122
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: but that was unfortunate. But by the way, like I've

123
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: been saying this for years, I don't think legal shift

124
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: penalties should exist. I don't think legal formation penalties should exist.

125
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I think as long as the eleven guys are lining

126
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: up on the right side of the line of scrimmage,

127
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't care where people stand, and I don't think

128
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: it should be something that the NFL litigates. I've said

129
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: that for a long time, and I said that especially

130
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: so last night as a DK Metcalf manager.

131
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into our questions here.

Speaker 2: Before we jump into.

144
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: This week's questions, let's check in with Colin Coward and

145
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: his over under picks for the Fantasy Over Under Challenge.

146
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Time now for the Week six Over Under Challenge. This

147
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: segment is presented by DraftKings and as as always, I

148
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: am joined by Colin Coward to talk through some of

149
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: our favorite player picks for this week's slate. Hard to

150
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: believe it's already Week six. The offseason weeks seem to

151
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: just drag on and then in season they seem to

152
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: fly by. As a reminder to everyone listening, you can

153
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: play along with our over under challenge and try to

154
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: not only beat Colin, but win some cool prizes as

155
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: well by heading to fantasypros dot com Slash Challenge. All right, Colin,

156
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: let's start, as always with the quarterbacks, and we'll start

157
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: with CJ.

158
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: Stroud.

159
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: He's QB eleven so far in the season, seventeen fantasy

160
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: points per game on DraftKings so far, has not finished

161
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: higher than QB seven in any week. He's having one

162
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: of those years to my eye, where when you watch him,

163
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: he clearly has it right. We know he's good, but

164
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: the box scored on aren't always there. Now he's facing

165
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: a New England pass defense that's allowing just seven point

166
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: six yards per attempt this season, seventh worst in the NFL.

167
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: Excuse me, what do you make of Stroud in this matchup?

168
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: Do not like it?

169
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 6: New England's played people tough. He doesn't have Nico Collins.

170
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 6: It changes everything. He struggled without Joe Mixon. You know,

171
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: you take this young quarterback, you put him on the road,

172
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 6: you send him up north. I think I think New

173
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 6: England's not a very good team. They may be the

174
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 6: league's worst team, but they've got spirit. They fight. I

175
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 6: think defensively they're pretty solid. I think Drake May is

176
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 6: a better version than Jacoby Brissett at this point, a

177
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 6: better option. I don't like this for CJ.

178
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: Shroud.

179
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, do you think could you

180
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: see the defense maybe kind of stepping up even more

181
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: so and feeling galvanized by the quarterback change and getting

182
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of the young hot shot rookie in there.

183
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you see it with interim coaches. Watch

184
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: the Jets play really inspired football against Buffalo.

185
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: It's the substitute.

186
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 6: Teacher rule where everybody loves the substitut you know they

187
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 6: want to impress. My take is New England Drake May

188
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 6: will play pretty well and the Jets will with the

189
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 6: interim coach as well.

190
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: The other quarterback. I wanted to hit on Kirk Cousins.

191
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, coming off of a huge game, He's just QB

192
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: sixteen on the season on DraftKings. Scoring was QB one

193
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: last week thirty five point four fantasy points. Obviously, throwing

194
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: for five hundred yards helps a lot with the fantasy scoring.

195
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: He now gets to go up against that Carolina pass defense.

196
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: What do you think about this matchup for Cousins?

197
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 6: Well, it's a divisional game and Kirk's coming off the

198
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: best game of his career, so I think people are

199
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: overvaluing the moment. Generally speaking, in division rivalry games, I

200
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: would take the underdog, especially when the underdog is at home.

201
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 6: So I think I think Carolina is a team that

202
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 6: if they get healthy offensive lineman back watch out. They

203
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: may go into this game undermanned up front. But I don't.

204
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: I think Kirk Cousins by low sell High is not

205
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 6: going to throw for five hundred yards. I think it's

206
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 6: a bit of a sell here off that amazing Thursday

207
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 6: night football performance.

208
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Let's look at some running backs here. Derrick Henry, the

209
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: age of this wonder has been awesome. I was very

210
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: aggressively drafting him in fantasy this year, just I loved

211
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: the fit with the Ravens, and there were some people

212
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: fading him given the age, but that has proven to

213
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: be the incorrect thing to do. He's RB two on

214
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: the season, over twenty fantasy points per game on DraftKings.

215
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: He's now going up against this Commander's rush defense allowing

216
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: over five yards per carry on the season, third worst

217
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

218
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: Do you like Henry this week?

219
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 6: I think Baltimore is the better team, and I think Washington.

220
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 6: I really do buy Washington. But Lamar Jackson may have

221
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 6: played his best game as a pro. So whenever a

222
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 6: player does that, I think they scale back. And I

223
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 6: also think they don't. They don't want to make Lamar vulnerable.

224
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 6: This team's offensive line. I think they're gonna go back

225
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 6: and forth this year. Lamar game, Derrick Henry game, Lamar game,

226
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry game. I think this is Dereck Henry game.

227
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 6: So I think he'll flourish here.

228
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: It's a good point because just in the last two weeks,

229
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, Week four, it was a Derek Henry game

230
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Week five o Lamar Jackson game. So we

231
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: think we're going back to the ground with the Ravens

232
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: this week. The other running back I wanted to hit

233
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: on Jamiir Gibbs at Dallas. He's RB nine on the season,

234
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: fifteen Fantasy points per game. Facing a Dallas rush defense

235
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: that has allowed six hundred and seventy five rushing yards

236
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: so far the season, ninth worst in the NFL. We've

237
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: seen them get run over a few times the season.

238
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Derek Henry was one of the running backs who has

239
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: done that before. So do you like Gibbs And then

240
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: also do you think this could be more of a

241
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: David Montgomery game versus Gibbs coming out of the by

242
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: or where we see more of a split like we've

243
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: seen so far.

244
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 6: Well, it's a big game because remember Detroit lost to

245
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 6: Dallas on that kind of iffy officiating call, and then

246
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 6: Dan Campbell sort of emotionally, he's a bit of a

247
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 6: firework show, went for it. Probably shouldn't have. I think

248
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 6: this is a big game for Detroit. You know, you

249
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 6: play the Cowboys, and you know it used to be

250
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 6: we only watched Detroit on Thanksgiving. This is gonna be

251
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 6: the most watched game of the weekend. And I think

252
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 6: the amazing thing about Jared Goff's perfect night was that

253
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 6: he only threw eighteen times. I think Ben Johnson has

254
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 6: figured out over the last two weeks what am I

255
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 6: doing run the ball? So I like both backs to

256
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 6: have good games. And I also think this is a

257
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 6: team that is trying to establish an identity. I thought

258
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 6: they were a little cute early. I think they're getting

259
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: back to what they are physical now. I think they

260
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 6: double down on that.

261
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: A couple of wide receivers to wrap things up today.

262
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: One of them in a game we've already hit on

263
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin going up against the Ravens on the other

264
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: side of that one. He's wide receiver twenty four on

265
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: DraftKings so far this season, possibly due for a breakout game.

266
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: He does lead the Commanders in targets, catches, yards long

267
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: as catch and receiving touchdowns, so he's been involved. He

268
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: hasn't had that huge blow up quite yet. And this

269
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore pass defense has been got at times this year,

270
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, particularly last week. Joe Burrow looks amazing against them. Now,

271
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin might not be Jamar chasevil Good, but he's

272
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,479
Speaker 1: pretty good, and this defense has struggled against top level receivers.

273
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: What do he expect from McLaurin this week?

274
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 6: I think this is a lot of points. I think

275
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 6: Baltimore's favored by almost a touchdown for a reason, but

276
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 6: I still think Washington, even if they're in a losing cause,

277
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 6: they're they're gonna flex. I mean, this has the classic

278
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 6: backdoor cover feel where Baltimore is clearly the better team,

279
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 6: but Washington outplayed a little bit, comes firing back until

280
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 6: proven otherwise. I think Jaden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and Washington

281
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 6: are gonna score a lot of points. Now, Baltimore is

282
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 6: gonna move the ball on this defense, but that's good

283
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 6: because that means Washington gets more possessions and often more quickly.

284
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 6: So I think this is a shootout, and I think

285
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 6: McLaurin will flourish.

286
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated by that matchup. I think it is

287
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the highest total of the week. It was last time

288
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: I checked. And you know, stylistically, like the Ravens defense

289
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: wants you to throw to the middle of the field,

290
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: Jane Daniels likes to throw to the sideline. Plus, like

291
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: I know, they're kind of downplaying the Daniels and Lamar,

292
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, similarities at least the quarterbacks are in press conferences.

293
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: But you know Washington wants him to come out and

294
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: have a good game, So I think they're gonna throw

295
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot.

296
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to watch that one.

297
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: The last wide receiver here, Stefan Diggs, also in a

298
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: game he already hit on talking about Stroud. He's of

299
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: course going up against the Patriots as well. Wide receiver

300
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: fifteen a little over ten fantasy points per game on

301
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: DraftKings this season.

302
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: No Nico Collins.

303
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: As he already mentioned, Tank Dell has struggled so far

304
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: this year, so could this be a big Digs game.

305
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 6: I don't think Houston's gonna move the ball much. The

306
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 6: Texans are kind of a fascinating team. I think because

307
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 6: we were so excited that we got another star quarterback

308
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 6: that we all kind of fell in love with them.

309
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: But they're still really young, and now they're young and

310
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 6: beat up. I do think if Nico Collins doesn't play, However,

311
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 6: I do think c J. Stroud believes he's going to

312
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 6: develop this relationship. So I'm going to roll the dice

313
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 6: here and say the one member of the Texans I

314
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 6: think plays well is Stefan Diggs. I think c J.

315
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 6: Stroud realizes if I'm going to beat Kansas City, if

316
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 6: I'm going to beat Buffalo in the playoffs, if I'm

317
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 6: going to beat these top AFC teams like Baltimore, We're

318
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 6: going to have to have multiple weapons. And I think

319
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 6: this is the classic. Hey, it could be. It could

320
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 6: be a choppy, ugly game. I want to develop my

321
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: relationship with Diggs, who I still like. By the way,

322
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 6: I don't think he's disruptive. I think he's impatient. I

323
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 6: think after about three years he's like Davonte Adams, he

324
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 6: gets over it. But I don't think Davonte or Stefan

325
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 6: Diggs are disruptive players. You know, I don't think they're

326
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 6: too They're outspoken, but they're very, very good players. In

327
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,239
Speaker 6: the first two years they're at a place they're highly productive.

328
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 6: So I think you'll have a good afternoon.

329
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: I know you didn't necessarily say we got like over

330
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: our skis on Strat or anything. I know we both

331
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: like him. But do you think that maybe the shine's

332
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: coming off? Bobby Slowan got a little bit just in

333
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: talking about this offense.

334
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 6: No, I think young quarterbacks are very reliant on run support.

335
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 6: Look at Caleb Williams in the last two weeks when

336
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 6: DeAndre Swift's had some crevices, it's like a different quarterback.

337
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 6: His completion percentage last two weeks is seventy one percent.

338
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 6: And I just think as good as c J.

339
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 5: Stround was.

340
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes admitted the light went on year three. Crowd's terrific,

341
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 6: but one of the reasons he was terrific. Laramie Tunzel,

342
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: you know run game multiple receivers. Well, now you're taking

343
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: Nko out, and now you're taking Joe Mixon out. Well,

344
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: he's still a young quarterback. You can do that with Mahomes.

345
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 6: Now you can do that with Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow.

346
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 6: So I just think young quarterbacks need help. And I

347
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 6: think Slowok's fine. Some are criticizing him, but I think

348
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: Bobby's proven he can coach. I just think the kid

349
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: needs more of his top stars.

350
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: Thanks again for hopping on, Colin.

351
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: Remember everybody to head to fantasypros dot com slash challenge

352
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: to play along all season long. All right, guys, let's

353
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: start off with the London game, which we have another

354
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: one of this week, Another early fun start for the

355
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: folks on the West Coast.

356
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: This time it's Jaguars at Bears.

357
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Technically, you know, at Bears they are the home team,

358
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: while it really should be the Jags. I guess, given

359
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: how often they play in London. And I want to

360
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: ask you, guys, which of these players, coming off of

361
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: his best game of the season, is most likely to

362
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: stay hot in Week six? Caleb Williams quarterback for the Bears,

363
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: or take Bigsby running back for the Jaguars, Deebro, what

364
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: do you think.

365
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be Caleb. If there's any get

366
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: right alicks or in the NFL right now, it's either

367
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: facing the Indianapolis Colts defense or facing the Jacksonville Jaguars.

368
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: And we're seeing more and more upside and better play

369
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: out of Caleb Williams. So going against a pass defense

370
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: that's allowed the second most passing yards per game and

371
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: the most fantasy points via passing, Yeah, Caleb is knocking

372
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: on the door of QB one rankings for me this week?

373
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that? Fits? Where do you have

374
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: them ranked?

375
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 5: I do?

376
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: I have Caleb rank QB twelve, So he's a low

377
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 4: end QB one for me. And the Jaguars have given

378
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: up the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks

379
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: twenty three point one. They're giving up eight point one

380
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: yards per attempt, and we've got Caleb probably feeling pretty

381
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: good about things after his best performance I think to

382
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: date this season, best fantasy performance. Also, like I like

383
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: Tank Bigsby, so, but you know, like they're not going

384
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: to marginalize Travis Etn He's going to have a role

385
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: in this offense and It's not a bad matchup for

386
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: Tank this week. It's not as if the Bears have

387
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: been lights out against the run.

388
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: But I do worry.

389
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 4: About the possibility that Tank can be game scripted out

390
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: in certain circumstances because he he did a twenty eight

391
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: yard catch last week. That was his second catch in

392
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: twenty two NFL games. He just we were just talking

393
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 4: about the value that Kenneth Walker's pass catch and gives

394
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: him no pass catching value really for Tank, and that

395
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: makes his value fragile week to week. If the Jaguars,

396
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: who have not been a good team, fall behind by

397
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: multiple scores all of a sudden, you're looking at a

398
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: scenario that's really bad for Tank because you don't know

399
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: what he's going to get as far.

400
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 5: As touches if the Jags fall behind.

401
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, I mean, it was the clear like

402
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: outlier so far in the season last week for Tank,

403
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: so you know he hasn't done it much. It was,

404
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair, kind of an outlier for

405
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Caleb as well. In terms of the final line. It

406
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: was the first time he's finished inside the top twelve

407
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: amongst quarterbacks was Week five. He's QB six. His next

408
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: high is finished. Besides that was QB fourteen. Everything else

409
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: is in the twenties or the thirties, so you know,

410
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: it hasn't been this amazing fantasy start to the season,

411
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: but you know, he's definitely I feel like he's anecdotally

412
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: looking better. And by the way, the you know, the

413
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: friendly matchups are going to continue. Caleb has a buy

414
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: next week, but then after that is Washington, so he's

415
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: in a really nice stretch of defenses that are really

416
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: appealing for fantasy.

417
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: Deebro, did you mention where do you have Tank ranked

418
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: this week?

419
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: I've got Tank. He was knocking on the door of

420
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 3: RB two status, probably in the high RB three range.

421
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: Where you at Tank pigs B I've got him an RB.

422
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: I've got him an RB twenty nine right now, he's

423
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: floating in that high end RB three range.

424
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: That's about consensus.

425
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: He's RB twenty seven in ECR but in that same

426
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of late twenties range. Let's go to the next

427
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: question here, and this is just a super fun matchup.

428
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Commanders at Ravens, two of the most prolific offenses in

429
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: football this season, both in terms of the actual scoring

430
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and in terms of some of the advanced stuff like

431
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: with Dvoa. Like by any metric you look at, these

432
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: are two of the best offenses in football. We're obviously

433
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: expecting tons of scoring in this one. Most of the

434
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: players in this game that we would ever be considering

435
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: starters are pretty clear starters for fantasy. So I just

436
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: want to kind of take a second to play Devil's

437
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Advocate and make you guys pick one player each to

438
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 1: make the case to fade in fantasy this week relative

439
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: to where they're ranking, even though we I know we're

440
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: probably starting most of these guys fits. I'll start with

441
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: you here, which one player are you playing Devil's Advocate

442
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: for and fading this week?

443
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: Well, gosh, the easy answer would be a Baltimore tight end, right, Like,

444
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 4: that's not going too far out of line to fade

445
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: a Baltimore tight end, And it would probably be Isaiah

446
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: likely since he hasn't had more than three targets in

447
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: a game since that huge Week one showing against the Chiefs.

448
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: But uh no, worm, I Am not going to take

449
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: the easy way out on this one. I'll give you

450
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 4: a real answer. Like Terry McLaurin, he could smash against

451
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 4: this Baltimore defense that has been really giving it up

452
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: through the air. But he's only averaging seven point two

453
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: targets a game, which is not a big number for

454
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: a guy who is the number one receiver and the

455
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 4: alpha on his team. Hasn't been a huge amount of

456
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: passing volume for Washington, although they've been very efficient. And

457
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: you know, like I know the Ravens have really given

458
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: it up in the passing game, but like, I don't

459
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: hate their outside cornerback duo of Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stevens.

460
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: I think those guys are pretty decent.

461
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 4: And PFF has both of those guys graded as top

462
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 4: forty cornerback. So theoretically, I could see a scenario where

463
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: maybe Terry McLaurin just has sort of an okay game

464
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: and doesn't smash. But and by the way, we're calling

465
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: this the DMV matchup, is that right? I learned that

466
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 4: from you on the Start Sit show the other day.

467
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean we're going to wait in a long line

468
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: to watch this game. It just means, is what is

469
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: DMV again?

470
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: No, it's the geographical area around it. So it's like

471
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: DC Maryland Virginia is like the most common wavy. There

472
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: are people who will say that well, Baltimore doesn't count

473
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: as a DMV. You have to be closer into DC.

474
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: It's it's actually somewhat of a debatable definition, but it's

475
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: roughly DC and the surrounding areas in Maryland and Virginia

476
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: are known as as the DMV. I brought this up

477
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and ericsonafits are like, what the heck?

478
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: I still I'm scratching my head over here.

479
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Like what I had forgotten that I was talking of

480
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: you who didn't spend their whole lives in the DMV,

481
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and I just you know, used it off. And but

482
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: that is what's referred to. It is not the Department

483
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles. That I can assure you.

484
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 2: I yeah, I'm really interested by the McLaurin picked.

485
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: So the Ravens, like the defense has been good against

486
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: non elite receivers. It's been you know, we saw in

487
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo game, right, like Buffalo is a good offense

488
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: led by a superhuman quarterback. But they didn't have that

489
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: like true alpha on the outside, and the Ravens were

490
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: able to shut them down. The guys who have torched

491
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: them were Rashi Rice in Week one and DeVante Adams

492
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: in week two, and you know Brock Bowers as well.

493
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: You know Jamar Chase t Higgins in week five, CD

494
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: lamp to a degree in week three. So the question

495
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: is is, like, does Terry McLaurin kind of rise to

496
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: that level of receiver. I think he's really darn good.

497
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he's DeVante Adams or Jamar Chase, So

498
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how they do that. The

499
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: other thing, too, is like the Ravens defense is built

500
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: through the spine. Typically you did mention the outside corners,

501
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: who I think are a little underrated fits, but like

502
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: they want people to be thrown in the middle of

503
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: the field too, and the commanders, like Jaye Daniels wants

504
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to throw, you know, down the sideline, Like he wants

505
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: to throw to the outside more so than a lot

506
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: of rookie quarterbacks do. So it's really kind of a

507
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: fascinating like clash of styles. The Ravens, you know, and

508
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens on offense like to go through the middle

509
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: of the field.

510
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's where Lamar is most comfortable.

511
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: So two very different quarterbacks in that respect in terms

512
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: of where on the field they like to throw deepro

513
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: what do you expect out of both McLaurin and also

514
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: who would be your fade.

515
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: I think m lauren's gonna have a good game, But

516
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: you know, I understand playing devil's advocate here because you know,

517
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: we want to pick somebody that everybody's probably high on

518
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: for this segment. And while I don't have the cold

519
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: water to throw on McLaurin, I do have a guy

520
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: to throw cold water on. I think the easy name

521
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 3: here for is Brian Robinson. Considering the Ravens their their

522
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: secondary has been bad. Their run defense remains elite. They're

523
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: allowing the fewest rushing yards per game right now for

524
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: the lowest explosive run rates. So Brian Robinson Junior for me,

525
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 3: would be the low hanging fruit. But I'll bring them

526
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: save Flowers here, considering I know the Commander's secondary is

527
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 3: not amazing. They are playing better, But the case to

528
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: be made against say Flowers is simply Baltimore runs it

529
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: down their throat. Derrick Henry has a smash game. They

530
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: don't have to throw a bunch. Washington might. But again

531
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: that's the way that Zay Flowers. If he fails this week,

532
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: it's because Lamar gets done on the ground, and so

533
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: does Derrick Henry, and there's not much scoring, much less

534
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: like negative game script to be had.

535
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point.

536
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: If you look at these two teams, like both can

537
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: throw the ball, both can run the ball, both are

538
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: not great against the pass. The one unit that is

539
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: kind of like really built to stop the other is

540
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens run defense. It's the one point where they're

541
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: not kind of on the same level between these two

542
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: teams right now, at least through five weeks. So I'm

543
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: really curious toe how that pans out. We talked about

544
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: this a bit on the Thursday show Debro, so I'm

545
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: curious to get your opinion. You know, what the Commanders

546
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: have done has been really like particularly in the running game.

547
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: And obviously it's such a huge benefit to have a

548
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: guy like Jayden Daniels that makes just everything easier in

549
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: the running game. Do you think the Ravens defense, I mean,

550
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: nobody has faced a mobile quarterback more than the Ravens

551
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: defense have in practice in the last half dozen years.

552
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that gives them an advantage over a

553
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: team like you know, the Commanders in a quarterback like

554
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: Jayden and Daniels, not that they're the exact same player,

555
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: but just they're not going to be shell shocked by

556
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: seeing a quarterback who's crazy fast and crazy athletic because

557
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: they see it every day.

558
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: I think in the way of, like, you know, setting

559
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: a QB spy handling the rushing utility, I believe so.

560
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 3: But I also think there's something to be said. And

561
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: I'm not tossing shade at Lamar here. I love Lamar,

562
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: but I think there's something to be said also for

563
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels' ability as a passer. And if we want

564
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 3: to talk about who the better passer is, I think

565
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: you can make a case for Jade Daniels. So I

566
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of similarities there as far as

567
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: the rushing utility. But I still think that there's a

568
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: lot of differences there because I know it sounds like

569
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: I'm being hyperbolic. I know Lamar's is a multip but

570
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: we're not. We're not doing Devil's Advocate anymore. Okay, you

571
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: don't need to make something up. I'm not making anything up. Man.

572
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: Anybody push back against me. How does Jane Daniels not

573
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: an amazing passer? And you can make the case he's

574
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: a better passer than Lamar.

575
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels is really good. I don't think he's a

576
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: better passor than Lamar.

577
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: Well, of course you're not going to say it. I

578
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: would like to hear.

579
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to have opinions. There you are, But are

580
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: you allowed to have opinions.

581
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: That are non pro ram But my opinion of that

582
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: a rookie who's played five games is not a better

583
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: passer than a two time NFL MVP.

584
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's because of being a homer.

585
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: But Daniels is really good. That's not to fake Daniels

586
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: like he's he's he's better than I expected.

587
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: I will.

588
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: I will say that like full stop, like very definitively.

589
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: This is a really fun game. Like I said, we're

590
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: kind of fading just to paint the narrative, but like

591
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: start everybody in this game. The total is fifty one

592
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: and a half. Do you guys like the over of

593
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: the under fits?

594
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: What do you think?

595
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: I never like betting totals. I never go over with

596
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: totals over fifty. Just too many ways for it to

597
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: be short circuited. You know, someone goes in a long

598
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 4: eighty r driving then fumbles at the three yard line,

599
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, the over is looking horrible.

600
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 4: So I just I tend not to bet any NFL

601
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: game over if it's got a total fifty or higher.

602
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it's a year. I think there are

603
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: easy paths to this game scoring a lot and still

604
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 3: hitting the under, and that just the easiest. The way

605
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: that this game fails is just straight up from play volume.

606
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: Washington's not running fast as an offense Baltimore. Look, if

607
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: you give him a chance to slow down and run

608
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: the ball with Derrick Henry, they will do that. So

609
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: I think that's the easy path to an underhere.

610
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: Life's too short to take the under.

611
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: This is the most fun matchup of the week. It's

612
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: the most fun quarterback matchup of the week. I don't

613
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: care what the number is. Just take the over, because

614
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're sitting there and this is like

615
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: a thirty eight to thirty five game on Sunday afternoon

616
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: during the witching hour, you're gonna be kicking yourself, like

617
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: obviously it is. He's the two best offenses in football

618
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: to degree this season. All right, let's go to the

619
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: next question. We went a little long on that one.

620
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals at Packers Doantavian Wicks fits he let everybody down

621
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: in week five was the most popular kind of we

622
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: have a wire pickups start right away, auto smash guy

623
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: of the week didn't pan out or going back to

624
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: that well in week six.

625
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 5: It depends.

626
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 4: Is Romeo Dobbs going to play and more important, is

627
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 4: Christian Watson gonna play? It It sounds as if Dobbs

628
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 4: will play, you know, suspended for a game after going

629
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: a wall from practice a week ago. He is back

630
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 4: at practice. Christian Watson also back at practice rather unexpected.

631
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: Deebro and I were talking about this before the show.

632
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 4: We both tend to think he's going to not come back.

633
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: And even if Dobbs and Watson both play, Wicks is

634
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 4: going to get some snaps, but he's probably not going

635
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: to have the sort of snaphare he would have if

636
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: Watson was out. The last two games, Wicks has played

637
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 4: around seventy five percent seventy six percent of the offensive

638
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: snaps when everyone is healthy for the Packers a wide receiver,

639
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: he's been close sort of fifty percent, So that's kind

640
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: of important, just you know, like more opportunities. Obviously, I've

641
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: got him just inside the top thirty a wide receiver

642
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: as of now, but if Watson plays, I'll probably have

643
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: Wis closer to mid thirties late.

644
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 5: Thirties in the wide receiver rankings.

645
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have this new tool, the are they Playing

646
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: tool on Fantasy Pros. It does give a pretty decent

647
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: chance for Christian Watson. That's just based on seeing limited

648
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: practice both day, you know, Wednesday and Thursday. That's all

649
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: the information we have as at the time we're recording this,

650
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: So it gives it. It gives Watson about an eighty

651
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: one percent chance of playing. I want to see what

652
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: happens Friday before I kind of really operate under the

653
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: assumption that Watson will be playing. I tend to lean

654
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: towards him not Our tool does disagree with that, though, Deebra,

655
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing with Wis this weekend? And let's

656
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: say let's assume that Watson doesn't play, because I think

657
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: if Watson plays and Dobbs on the field, like I think,

658
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: it's not.

659
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: Really much of a question at all.

660
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

661
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: Agree, But let's let's assume that the pat is there

662
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: again similar to the way it was in Week five.

663
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 2: Are you starting to don Davian Wickx this way?

664
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: I am starting Dontavian Wicks, and I agree with FITZI.

665
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: I don't think Watson plays this week. I think the

666
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: tool will project more in that direction. Considering the other

667
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: part about it is, and this is, you know, the

668
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: tool is built off of AI and the and the

669
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: data and things like that. We also had to factor

670
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: in that the Packers are conservative with injuries. So because

671
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: he's practicing and stuff like that, things that you know

672
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: can be captured and can't be captured. I do think

673
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: the Green Bay usually leans a little bit more on

674
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: the conservative side. So I think that Watson doesn't play.

675
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: So looking at Wicks, I think this is the floplag game.

676
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: I think this is the game that we thought we

677
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: were getting last week with Dantavian Wicks, that we get

678
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: it this week. And so right now I've got Dantavian

679
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: Wicks as a mind wide receiver twenty four and rankings.

680
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: I understand everybody got burned. The other thing about it

681
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: is if he converts that what was it, FITZI, a

682
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: fifty three yarder that maybe he takes for a touchdown.

683
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: If he converts that last week, then everybody is singing

684
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: praises and the Dantavian Wicks narrative is totally different. So

685
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: one play making that big of a difference between everybody

686
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: being like, Ah, yeah, why you told me to start

687
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: him versus Oh, I'm so glad I started him. Yay,

688
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: he had a good game. Like I'm not gonna push back,

689
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: like I'm not gonna go too far in one direction

690
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 3: about saying Wicks had a terrible game, because there were

691
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: other factors that led to that game, ie the Rams

692
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: changing up their entire cornerback rotation and then playing better

693
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: because of it. So how we were projecting that game

694
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: versus how it ran out is different, And there are

695
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: some factors that even you know we're projecting. We're looking

696
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: at numbers and stuff. Teams do things and change things up. Obviously,

697
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: when you're a bottom three pass defense, you need to

698
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: And looking at this match of this week, I don't

699
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: care that the Cardinals can roll out whoever they want

700
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: to at cornerback, pull a practice squad guy, take sign

701
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: free eight, do whatever you want to. Even their current starters,

702
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: none of them can hang with these Packers wide receivers.

703
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: They're all not great. So I think this is the

704
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: game this week for Wicks that we thought we were

705
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: getting last.

706
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: Week starting don Tavianwicks has been a roller coaster also

707
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: a roller coaster this NFL season, and it's moving right

Speaker 1: along and it promises to be a month full of tricks, treats,

00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's go to Texans Patriots. The Drake

744
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: May Era kicks off this Sunday. How does this impact

745
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots? For fantasy purposes? Is May himself playable if

746
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: you're desperate?

747
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: Debro May is not playable. And I know that people

748
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: are gonna hate that. Like I just I can't say

749
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: this clear enough. I cannot stand what the Patriots are

750
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: doing to Drake May in this matchup. I cannot stand

751
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: the fact that after five weeks and we have proven

752
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: that the offense is not good enough, the scheme is

753
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: not good enough, and the offensive line is not good

754
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: enough to support a conducive environment for Ricky quarterback. After

755
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: five weeks of proof, this is a bad team in

756
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 3: a bad situation. This is the week that the Patriots

757
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: decide they're going to start Drake May when they have

758
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: fielded an offensive line that has allowed the second highest

759
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: pressure rate and the sixth lowest time to pressure, and

760
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: you face a Houston d line that is fourth and

761
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: pressure rate. All I can say is good luck for

762
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 3: Drake May. I'm sorry that the Patriots are doing this

763
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: to you. I'm sorry to the fan base that this

764
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: is happening. And this lowers the floor and ceiling for

765
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 3: every skill player in this offense right now. And this

766
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: is not a hate against Drake May. This is a

767
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: terrible matchup and he is being put into a horrible situation.

768
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: I fully agree. I love Drake May the player, and

769
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about his future. I do not understand

770
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: picking this game as the one like it. Really, I'm

771
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: not the first person to say this, but really just

772
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: feel like they just kind of succumb to fan pressure that.

773
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: Works out well for rookie quarterbacks.

774
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a bad decision, Like I really,

775
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: I really don't don't get it fits.

776
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 2: What do you think is this scenario?

777
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: Where are we downplaying like this is a really talented

778
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: guy and maybe he does help some of these skilled

779
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: players and make a move the needle at least on fantasy,

780
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: even if not make them all superstars. Or are we

781
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: just kind of fading everything here.

782
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 4: I am not nearly as aggrieved about the decision to

783
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: plug May into the lineup as you guys are. I

784
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 4: know our friend Matt Harmon had a long rant about this,

785
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 4: like there is no perfect time. I mean, you could

786
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 4: give him an entire red shirt rookie year, but I

787
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 4: don't think the Patriots were ever going to take the

788
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: Packers plan on that the Packers always had Brett Farvar

789
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers to have the luxury of red shirting their

790
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback, and obviously with Jacoby Burssett, Patriots kind of

791
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 4: want to speed up the timetable a little bit. As

792
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: for starting him, I don't think it would be completely

793
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 4: crazy to plug Drake May into your lineup, and in fact,

794
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: in the Fantasy pros Content team league, I am going

795
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: to be starting Drake May against the Welsh this week

796
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 4: because I really cut corners at the quarterback position. Look,

797
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 4: May's passing numbers against the Texans probably are not going

798
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: to be pretty, and I agree like I do not

799
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: want to start to Mario Douglas, Jalen poll, Can Hunter,

800
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 4: Henry any pass catcher for the Patriots. But Drake May

801
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: is a willing and able runner, and we saw that

802
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: at the University of North Carolina, where in his two

803
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 4: seasons as a starter, he averaged eleven point four rushing

804
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: attempts per game and forty four point one rushing yards

805
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 4: per game. And bear in mind that in the college game,

806
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 4: sack yardage counts again a quarterback's rushing yardage, so he

807
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 4: probably would have been up over fifty rushing yards a game.

808
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: A rookie quarterback making his first start in the NFL

809
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 4: is going to be confused by a lot of what

810
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 4: he sees. Like he's gonna see coverages that just completely

811
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 4: flummex him. Easiest thing for him to do is just

812
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: tuck the ball away and run. And while it's highly

813
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: doubtful that May is going to get two hundred passing

814
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 4: yards in this game, I could see him going for

815
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 4: forty or fifty rushing yards easily. And in fact, like

816
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: I have hammered, hammered rushing overs on Drake May, if

817
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 4: he rushes for like twelve yards, I'm gonna be eating

818
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: Chef boyard out.

819
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 5: Of the can on Monday morning. Boys.

820
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: So but if it's a fifty yard rushing day for

821
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: Drake May, Lobster Thermidor on Monday, you're gonna you're gonna.

822
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 5: Get paid well done.

823
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I get I get your point about

824
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: like there's no perfect time to do this. At the

825
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: same time, I look in this three week stretch Miami, Houston, Jacksonville,

826
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: why pick Houston? Like, if you wanted to start him

827
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: right around this, you know, in this kind of first

828
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: half of October, I'd much rather he started against Miami

829
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: or Jacksonville than the Texans defense.

830
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: I guess this is all my point.

831
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: It just seems like a particularly difficult one going up

832
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: against Amiko Ryans. But maybe I love the player, so

833
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: maybe he will surprise and be good. I want to

834
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: go to the next question because it's basically the same

835
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: one the Spencer Rattler era kicks off this Sunday. How

836
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: does this impact the Saints for fantasy purposes? Is Rattler

837
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: himself playable if you're desperate? So basically the same question

838
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: before a different rookie quarterback fits, I'll start with.

839
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: You this time.

840
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm worried here, and I like Rattler and took

841
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 4: him in a couple of Dynasty rookie drafts in the spring,

842
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 4: but I think his debut could be pretty rough, even

843
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 4: against a Buccaneers pass defense that was completely frickasied by

844
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons the last time we saw them. Rattler

845
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 4: did not probably did not get the same sort of

846
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: reps in training camp Drake May would have gotten because

847
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 4: Drake May was the clear and obvious succession plan in

848
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: New England, whereas Rattler was, you know, kind of brought in.

849
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 5: I think just.

850
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 4: Basically to back up Derek Carr this year. So I

851
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 4: have Rattler ranked QB twenty seven out of twenty eight

852
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: starting quarterbacks, sorry A M.

853
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 5: O'Connell.

854
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 4: And I have Chris o Lave and Rashid Shaheed ranked

855
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: his wide receiver fours this week. And I've I have

856
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 4: Alvin Kamara like I'm docking him. I've got him outside

857
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: the top five at running back. I'm just not optimistic

858
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 4: about the Saints offense this week.

859
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: Rattler did say that he wants to pepper Chris Lave

860
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: with targets, which you know, the volume could be enough

861
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: to keep a lot of higher than that, as long

862
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: as the level of plays reaches at least a bare minimum.

863
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: He's not doing seven on seven's in practice. Man, this

864
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: is going to be a different story.

865
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: They are.

866
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: By the way, Drake may and Spencer Ratler are back

867
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: to back in ECR QB twenty six and QB twenty seven,

868
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: so they're both right there in our Fantasy Pro only

869
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: our staff rankings. Bo Nicks separates the two goes May

870
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: Nix then Rattler in QB twenty five, QB twenty six,

871
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: QB twenty seven deeper. What do you think about Ratler

872
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: in terms of what you expect that of him this

873
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: week and what he could mean for guys like Shaheeda Lave.

874
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna sound like the wet blanket for both

875
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: these rookie quarterbacks. I just I don't really understand why

876
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: you're starting Rattler over Jake Hayner, who is the backup

877
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: last week and went into the game. It feels like

878
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 3: a front office thing like I don't know why Jake

879
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: Hayner doesn't get the start, but because again, like Rattler's

880
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: probably had hardly any practice time, go back to training camp,

881
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: working as the QB three on the roster, he's gotten

882
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: no reps, and all of a sudden, like you're gonna

883
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 3: give him what starter reps starting early this week and

884
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: think that's gonna really catch him up and build rapport

885
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: with these wide receivers. Now, I I it's rough man.

886
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 3: I'm with FITZI on this one. And before kirk Cousins

887
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: diced up this secondary, we have to understand that before

888
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: that game, this secondary allowed the fourth lowest passer rating

889
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: in CPOE and the fifth lowest arts per attempt. So

890
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: kirk Cousins changing massively, changing the math there for how

891
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers pass defense looks for the entire season, as

892
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 3: far as season long stats really has to get brought up.

893
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: And Todd Bowles loves to blitz everybody eighth highest blitz rate.

894
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: You're telling me he's not going to turn up the

895
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: heat and blitz the ever loving crap out of Spencer

896
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 3: Rattler behind a banged up offensive line. Again, this is

897
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: if I'm the Bucks. You blitz the ever living hell

898
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: out of him, You stop the run, and you force

899
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: Spencer Rattler to beat you, and I don't see it happening.

900
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 3: So yes, I'm with FITZI I'm dropping. Shaheed and o'

901
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: lobby are going to be in that wide receiver three

902
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: slash four area code. I think that both of them

903
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: can get volume, but again we have to go back

904
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: to the target quality that they're going to receive. I

905
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 3: don't know if the volume is going to be enough

906
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: to overcome that.

907
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 5: Can I go ahead? Oh?

908
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: Sorry, let me add one more thing about this game,

909
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 4: like Taysom Hill dealing with fractured ribs. I know he's

910
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 4: listed as questionable for this game. If he plays, I

911
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 4: want to use him at TID because I think they

912
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 4: will give him a lot of work if he is

913
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: able to suit up for this one, like he would

914
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 4: be inside my tight end one range if he plays.

915
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: That's actually kind of along the lines with what I

916
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: was going to follow up with, which is, what are

917
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: you doing with just the running game in general for

918
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: the Saints. Do you think that, you know, the Bucks

919
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: defense is going to be so owned in on the

920
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: running game that it's going to be very difficult for

921
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, guys like Kamara to do anything or are

922
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: you still kind of ranking him because he's gonna be

923
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: so much volume you'd think with a rookie quarterback in

924
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: his first start.

925
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm docking him.

926
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 4: I've got him RB seven, but there's under no circumstances,

927
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: am I sitting Alvin Camara?

928
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 6: No?

929
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: I Where where's he at? An worm? Because I can

930
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 3: tell you I'm definitely gonna below consensus.

931
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 5: He's like three or four.

932
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: I want to go he's at four.

933
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 3: We got him an RB ten right now. I think

934
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 3: with the workload he still deserves, you know, And actually

935
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 3: that's a little bit too kind to him. I'm gonna

936
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: drop him the RB a lot.

937
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're giving him an eighty one

938
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: percent chance to play on the are they playing tool

939
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: with his hip injury limited practice on?

940
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: In the rankings, I have Josh Jacobs. I have James

941
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: Connor above him, and surprisingly enough because I know this

942
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 3: will probably raise some eyebrows, but the matchup is awesome.

943
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 3: I have Tony Pollard to head up in Kamara this week.

944
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: I think that's justifiable given everything. I think you're right,

945
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: it will raise eyebrows, but I can see the I

946
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: can see the logic there. Let's go to the next question.

947
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: Brown's at Eagles coming off the buy. It looks like,

948
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: as of the last time I looked at practice reports,

949
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: Philly was going to be getting back its top two

950
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: receivers in AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. Where are we

951
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 1: ranking those guys plus Jalen Hurts with the Eagles returning

952
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: something closer to full strength? I mean, I'm something we're

953
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: starting them, obviously, but how aggressively are we ranking these

954
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: guys in their first game back?

955
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 3: Deepro Jalen Hurts is QB three, behind only Lamar and

956
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: Jaydeon Daniels. I've got AJ Brown as a where are

957
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 3: you at?

958
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: AJ? Brown?

959
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: I got them at wide receiver five for the week,

960
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: and Devonte Smith is at tighten nineteen. I think the

961
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: only player out of that passing game that I'm worried

962
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: about are fading because of the matchup and both their

963
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 3: star receivers being back this week is Dallas Goddard. So

964
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 3: Goddart is probably going to be just because of the

965
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: state of the position, a low end tightened one. But

966
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: I'm not really high on his prospects this week. But

967
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 3: all the rest of the guys, I mean, we shouldn't

968
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 3: be scared of the Cleveland Brown's defense at this point.

969
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: Their offense Kansas Saint drives, They're going to be out

970
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: there a ton, Their cornerbacks are kind of banged up.

971
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: I think this is a really good, sneaky, get right

972
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 3: spot for the Philly offense.

973
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

974
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: I would pretty much like to avoid Goddard if it's

975
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: at all possible. Just whenever Brown and Smith are both

976
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: on the field generally fits.

977
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 2: What are you doing with the passing game? Kind of

978
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: all systems go here?

979
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: Yep, this as usual. Jalen Hurts QB three, A J.

980
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 4: Brown wide receiver five and Devontai Smith wide receiver nineteen

981
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 4: a perfect match with Debra. Did they still have that worm.

982
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 4: Is that totally opaque reference for you? The newlywed game where.

983
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 2: The translucent reference.

984
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: I am satly aware of it, but it's I've never

985
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: watched it.

986
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, they the newlyweds had to match answers they

987
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 4: what they were asked a series of questions do they

988
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 4: know their spouses?

989
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: Uh?

990
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: You know, and like had to see if they match correctly.

991
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been.

992
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been to like weddings and rehearsal

993
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: dinners where they do variations of it between the couple

994
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: and everybody watches, but I have not watched the.

995
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: Actual very nice word translucent by the way, give you.

996
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 4: Real real quick aside, favorite sick day game show.

997
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 3: Oh his price was right. It was always always has

998
00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: to be.

999
00:45:59,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

1000
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: I I didn't really watch TV during the weekdays. I

1001
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed that. I was the only The only TV

1002
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: I was allowed to watch during the weekdays was sports

1003
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: because my parents knew.

1004
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 2: I need I needed at least that. But I didn't

1005
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: really watch a regular TV.

1006
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: Wor ex.

1007
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 2: Parents were like, you a girl to be a sports

1008
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 2: media guy?

1009
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: Now?

1010
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this that was my homework essentially. When I

1011
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: think about my favorite fall activities. There are plenty of

1012
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: fun adventures on the list, but right at the top

1013
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: every fall is going to be football games live. Some

1014
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: of my favorite all time memories watching the Ravens have

1015
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: come right inside M and T Bank Stadium in Baltimore,

1016
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: cheering along with thousands of fellow Ravens fans in primetime.

1017
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: And I'll be checking another NFL stadium off my list

1018
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: later this month, when the Ravens head to Cleveland. I'll

1019
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: be going to that game with a handful of our

1020
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: fantas pros colleagues. I'm really excited about that. Good to

1021
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: see everybody live and in person. When we order our tickets,

1022
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: you know we'll be using game Time. They've got a

1023
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: new feature called game Time Picks, which filters out the

1024
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: fluff to show you only incredible deals on great seats.

1025
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: It makes getting tickets to see your favorite teams play

1026
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: live even easier. The list of my favorite features on

1027
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: the game Time app is two long, three at everything,

1028
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: but here are some standouts for me personally. I love

1029
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: the game Time Picks curation, obviously, especially since I can

1030
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: use it for not just sports, but concerts, comedy, theater,

1031
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: and more. I also love the all in pricing so

1032
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: there are no surprise fees at checkout. There's nothing in

1033
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: the world more infuriating to me than thinking I know

1034
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: what I'm about to spend on a purchase, then getting

1035
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: hit with a surprise fee at the last second.

1036
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen with Game Time.

1037
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: Plus, I also appreciate the seat views to get a

1038
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: panoramic view from your seat in the app before you

Speaker 1: time is it? Game Time? By the way, I also

1048
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: didn't really get many sick days home. I had to

1049
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: be like a certain level of sick to skip school,

1050
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: and that level of sick was usually I was like

1051
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: falling asleep in my bed and passing out all day

1052
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: if I was there.

1053
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: So you never pulled the thermometer on the light bold

1054
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 3: trick form never know, No.

1055
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: I really liked it.

1056
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: I like never wanted to miss school, and if I did,

1057
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: it was because I was actually feeling really unwell. My

1058
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: dad's a teacher, so like that was just kind of

1059
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: ingrained in me. I guess, but I you know.

1060
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: You see your friends at school, like, I think school

1061
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: gets a batter. I think school's kind.

1062
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: Of your parents ran a very very efficient booth camp. Okay,

1063
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 3: you will be a sports media guide, you will go

1064
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 3: to school, and you will like it.

1065
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they still to this day understand what

1066
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: I do for a living. So maybe not the sportsman.

1067
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: Considering everything, like you you tweet.

1068
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: And talk about football and somebody actually pays you for it.

1069
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: This is like a side gig, right, Like, no, no,

1070
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: this is this is the job. Let's go to the

1071
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: next question here, Chargers at Broncos. Are the Chargers worth

1072
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: starting against what has been one of the best, you know,

1073
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe the best defense in the NFL so far the season,

1074
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 1: or any Chargers were starting in this one coming off

1075
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: there by debro JK.

1076
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 3: Dobbins ish, I just he's a flex play, a low

1077
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 3: end RB two probably, I mean really an RB three,

1078
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: but I mean he's in play only because of the volume,

1079
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 3: but outside of that, knew you're sitting all your chargers

1080
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: this week.

1081
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: What do you think fits?

1082
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 5: Yeah? Where am I going to give you credit?

1083
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 4: You were ahead of the curve on this a few

1084
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 4: weeks ago when you sort of recognize that the Broncos

1085
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 4: is having one of the best defenses in the NFL,

1086
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 4: and I was kind of I lightly pushed back and said, like, yeah,

1087
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 4: let's see a few more games before we declare that.

1088
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 4: I'm ready to declare that Vance Joseph has just done

1089
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 4: a fantastic job with this unit.

1090
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 5: But there are two chargers.

1091
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 4: I think I would be willing to start j Dobbins,

1092
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 4: and as Debro mentioned, purely volume play. I've got him

1093
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 4: RB eighteen. But yes, the Broncos ranks sixth in DVOA

1094
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 4: against the run and have a lot of the tenth

1095
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 4: fewest Fantasy points to running backs. But Dobbins has averaged

1096
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 4: seventeen point seven touches a game over his last three games,

1097
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 4: so that's a pretty safe volume floor to at least

1098
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 4: get him as in your lineup as a flexer a

1099
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 4: RB two, And then I would be willing to play

1100
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 4: Lad McConkie, Like if the Broncos have shut down cornerback

1101
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 4: Patrick certain Junior follow Quinton Johnston around, Justin Herbert might

1102
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 4: look to take advantage of the easier matchup, not necessarily

1103
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 4: an easy matchup, bit easier for McConkie against Broncos slot

1104
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 4: corner g Jikwan McMillan, who's yielding a seventy percent catch

1105
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 4: rate and zero point twenty seven Fantasy points per route

1106
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 4: into his coverage according to PFF.

1107
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Deebra, what do you think about Lad McConkie this week.

1108
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: I typically like rookie receivers coming off their bye week,

1109
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, especially talented, like kind of high level rookie receivers,

1110
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: So that's appealing to me. What do you think about

1111
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: the matchup for McConkey.

1112
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 3: I think the matchup's fine. I think looking at McConkie,

1113
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 3: he's going to get the most volume out of any

1114
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 3: of these guys especially, and it's tough to know who

1115
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 3: that the Broncos are going to stick certain on. My

1116
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 3: guess would be Quentin Johnston, but again that's that's you know,

1117
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: they give Johnston enough respect, they might just not shadow

1118
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 3: anybody but you have to also. I mean, either way

1119
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: it goes, you're going to bump down both those guys

1120
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 3: because either Palmer or Johnston is going to get shadow

1121
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 3: coverage or at least have to deal with certain for

1122
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 3: half the game. So I do think the target volume

1123
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 3: is there for mconkey. So I mean it's a good call.

1124
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: Buff.

1125
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 3: It's like just straight up in a PPR league, He's

1126
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: going to get the volume if he scores, Bro, especially

1127
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 3: if they're a negative game script, then yeah, he could

1128
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 3: pay off.

1129
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to that Lions Cowboys game I mentioned earlier.

1130
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta was tight end one in our expert consensus

1131
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: draft rankings this season. He's You've been tight end eighteen

1132
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: on a per game basis so far, and if you

1133
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: take out week one, it's even worse, tight end thirty

1134
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: one per game on the season since Week two. That's

1135
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: behind Mark Andrews. Even coming out of Detroit's bye week.

1136
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: Are we gonna finally see Sammy ballgame get going again? Deebro,

1137
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: I'll start with you as the Laporta guy.

1138
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 3: I could see an okay game for him. I don't

1139
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: think it's a smash spot for him. I mean, Dallas

1140
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 3: versus tight ends. Yeah, you could make a case. Okay,

1141
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 3: they've allowed or they're tied for the fourth most receiving touchdowns,

1142
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 3: but over the middle of the field that can easily

1143
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 3: be on on Ros Saint Brown time their sixteenth and

1144
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 3: yards per reception. I think it's an oka matchup, but

1145
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a smash matchup. Like I think

1146
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 3: Laporta is probably somewhere in that mid to low end

1147
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 3: tight end one range this week, So I don't think

1148
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: this is like the get right spot for Sammy ballgame.

1149
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: One of our player debates debro on the Thursday show

1150
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: was Sam Laporta versus Tucker Kraft.

1151
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: Who would you like in that one?

1152
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 3: Geez, I'll take Craft in that one. But I think

1153
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 3: it's close. I think they're in the same area code.

1154
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 2: They're back to back in ECR tight end five and

1155
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: tight ends.

1156
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I've got Craft as tight end five

1157
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 3: and I got Laporta's tight end six right now.

1158
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fits.

1159
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: We talked a bit about this when we talked about

1160
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: Laportera versus Craft, but like even setting the Craft part

1161
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: of the equation aside, like, do you think this could

1162
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: be the week where we see Laporta get going again.

1163
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, worm it's weird. He is averaging three

1164
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 4: point five targets a game and Laporta has not seen

1165
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 4: more than five targets in any game this season. A

1166
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 4: part of it is that Ben Johnson just wants to

1167
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 4: run the ball on people's throat this year. He is

1168
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 4: not messing around. And in the Lions three wins, they're

1169
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 4: three and one. In the three wins, they're only averaging

1170
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 4: twenty three pass attempts. So like, if they get a lead,

1171
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 4: they are running the ball. And they are road favorites

1172
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 4: against the Cowboys, so if they get a lead here,

1173
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 4: probably not going to see a lot of passing volume

1174
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 4: four GoF So as of now, I've got Laporter ranked

1175
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 4: higher than Craft. I've got him tight end five and

1176
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 4: Craft tight end six. I think I'm gonna flip flop

1177
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 4: those two.

1178
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 5: But who knows.

1179
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe the Cowboys will perk up Sam Laporta because

1180
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 4: when he faced the Cowboys last year he had a

1181
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 4: season high twelve targets, seven catches for eighty four yards.

1182
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 4: So I don't know, maybe he'll see that Dallas star

1183
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 4: and get fired up.

1184
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 3: The other factor here is if Dallas gets drawn bland

1185
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: back this week. I don't think that he plays in

1186
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: this game, but if he does play in this game,

1187
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 3: that also would push some volume to Sam Laporta in

1188
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 3: a wait. But because again avoiding the outside corners for Dallas,

1189
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:40,479
Speaker 3: it blained his back.

1190
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: Do you think, Debro, that we've discussed enough in this

1191
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: first month of the season the disappointment Sam Laporta has been.

1192
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of conversation has been tight

1193
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: end is a disappointment. Oh, you shouldn't have gotten early

1194
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: on tight end because of guys like Mark Andrews and

1195
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey and also Sam Laporta. I feel like there hasn't

1196
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: been like Laporta was number one tight end in most

1197
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: people's rankings. I know it wasn't for years u a

1198
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: Trade McBride, but in general he was the consensus tight

1199
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: end one like with a bullet, like by a mile.

1200
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: And he's he hasn't just been a disappointment relative to

1201
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: that standing. He's been downright bad again tight end thirty

1202
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: one since week two on a per game basis. So

1203
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: are we like kind of discussing enough what a level

1204
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: of disappointment? I mean, not that he's fallen off a

1205
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: Cliff in his career. He's still so young, it's only

1206
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: a second year player. But it's been really bad compared

1207
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: to what we expected.

1208
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: It has been, and I think some of the Sam

1209
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 3: Laporta as far as like the being the letdown, I

1210
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 3: think that has gotten lost in the conversation because I

1211
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 3: think all the spotlight, and deservedly so, I think instead

1212
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 3: of so much of the attention on Detroit being on

1213
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 3: Sam Laporta being a letdown for fantasy, I think instead

1214
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: of us talking about that and that being leading the conversation,

1215
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 3: we've been giving a lot more shine to Jamison Williams

1216
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 3: and his I mean, he's in the midst of a

1217
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 3: breakout season, so I think that it's it's twofold. I

1218
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 3: think the JMO breakout season is what has hurt Sam

1219
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 3: Laporta immensely. But also we haven't discussed that enough because

1220
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 3: we've been giving so much shine to Jamo. But honestly, rightfully.

1221
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 2: So.

1222
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 1: Before we get to the key question for Sunday Nights matchup,

1223
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys about your Uber Eats

1224
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Meals of the Week debro. What must Order

1225
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: food gets you reaching for your Uber Eats app for

1226
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: great game day deals. When you think of New York.

1227
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 3: I think Fitzie and I might be handholding on this one,

1228
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 3: but for good reason. It's the one oh one, dude.

1229
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 3: And I don't care if this is breakfast. I don't

1230
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 3: care if it's brinner. It's gotta be bagels, and it's

1231
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 3: gotta be cream cheese and smoke locks on. There's I mean,

1232
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 3: I think this is easy.

1233
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 4: Fitz Yeah, I mean a bagel with cream, cheese and

1234
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 4: locks from a New York deli is an A plus

1235
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 4: breakfast for sure, but also another a plus option from

1236
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 4: a New York deli. And my my dad's from New York.

1237
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 4: So I was introduced to this by my grandfather. The

1238
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: pastrami sandwich in a good New York deli. I mean,

1239
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 4: the first time I ever went into a deli with

1240
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 4: my grandpa ordered asami sandwich at his urging, I could

1241
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 4: hear angels singing.

1242
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: That's actually a great call, because I'm not a big

1243
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: pastrami guy, but I did. I went to Kat's Delicatessen

1244
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: when I was in New York many years ago, and

1245
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, I had to go for kind of that

1246
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: classic pastami style and it.

1247
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 2: Was it was very good.

1248
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a cream cheese and locks guy. I'm just

1249
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: a cream cheese and that's it guy on my bagels,

1250
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: which are good. But guys, the ANSWER's pizza. It's New

1251
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: York style pizza. It's it's far superior to Chicago style

1252
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: deep dish style pizza barely qualifies as pizza fits you

1253
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: are a Midwest guy, what's your take on New York

1254
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: versus Chicago pizza?

1255
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

1256
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 4: Well, New York pizza is amazing and like, there's no comparison.

1257
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 4: But look, the Chicago deep dish like that is trash.

1258
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 4: But Chicago tavern style thin crossed. Chicago tavern style thin

1259
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 4: cross is fantastic, but the dishes casts are all man.

1260
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: It's only the last couple of years I learned that

1261
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: there even is such a thing as like Detroit style pizza.

1262
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 2: Like all these Midwest cities have their own.

1263
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 4: Still, the sauce goes on top of the cheese. Detroit

1264
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 4: style is good. It's it's got a real like caramelized crust.

1265
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 4: It's actually really tasty. I will odd.

1266
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 3: Intrigued.

1267
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 5: We're going to be in Las Vegas early next year, Debro.

1268
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 4: I will take you to a place that serves some

1269
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 4: mean Detroit style pizza. You will be done done thanking

1270
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 4: me done.

1271
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: So there, there you have it. Our Uber Eats Sunday

1272
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: Night meals of the week. We've got bagels, we've got

1273
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: pastrami sandwiches, and we've got classic New York style pizza.

1274
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: Uber Eats has the best game day deals all season long.

1275
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: Order now for game day guys this Sunday night. The

1276
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: reason we talked about New York it's Bengals at Giants.

1277
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: We did get word and it was kind of trending

1278
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: this direction anyway, but we got word during this recording

1279
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: Neighbors is going to miss another game with the concussion.

1280
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: So quickly before we get into my key question for

1281
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: the game, like the rest of season, are you guys

1282
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 1: starting to get a little concerned about just how long

1283
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: this is taking or once he's back, you know he'll

1284
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: be back and you're not gonna.

1285
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: Be worried at all.

1286
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 3: To you, bro, I'm not worried at all. I think

1287
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 3: the concussions and this kind of speaks to the severity

1288
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 3: of some Once these guys start ramping up, then you

1289
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 3: can kind of see symptoms kind of come back. I

1290
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 3: think this is more of Okay, he's out this week.

1291
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 3: I think that he returned to practice is good, so

1292
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: I project that he will be back for next week.

1293
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 3: So and again, this is kind of one of those

1294
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 3: things like once they clear concussion symptoms. I mean, guys

1295
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 3: are full ramped up, playing one hundred percent. So I'm

1296
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 3: not willing to kind of dock the resk of He's

1297
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: an outlook for elite neighbors right now.

1298
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 2: Same optimism fits.

1299
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 5: Yeah. Same.

1300
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 4: I'm bummed out about it because I have my Milik

1301
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 4: neighbors on a ton of teams. But I'm also not

1302
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 4: going to be the old man who gets mad at

1303
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 4: Melik neighbors for having gone to a Travis Scott concert

1304
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 4: the other night, and.

1305
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 5: Like, what's he doing? He's got a concussion, why is

1306
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 5: he going to concerts?

1307
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like, didn't expect him to miss two

1308
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 4: games after getting the concussion in a Thursday night game.

1309
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 4: But you know, hopefully we see him back in week seven.

1310
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 4: I think we will.

1311
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: It's it's like in Seinfeld, when Elaine sees David Putty,

1312
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: She's like, but I broke up with him, and Jerry's like,

1313
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: and yet he continues to live like, yo, oh, he

1314
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: had a concussion, and yet he continues to go out

1315
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: and lose.

1316
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 3: It's fine Steinfeld again. I don't know if I've ever

1317
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 3: heard of it.

1318
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Can't do this again, Debra, we don't. We don't have

1319
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: time to correct you.

1320
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: And all your wrongness.

1321
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: The actual question I wanted to ask about the Giants.

1322
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: We had quite the coming out party for Tyro and

1323
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Tracy Junior in Week five. The Bengals run defense did

1324
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 1: do pretty well against Derrick Henry all things considered, until

1325
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: that long run in overtime, but they pretty much bottled

1326
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: him up.

1327
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: You know, up until that point.

1328
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: Do we think Tracy can take advantage of what had

1329
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: been a pretty poor rush defense in the prior four

1330
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: weeks before that Week five performance against Henry deebro, what

1331
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: do you think?

1332
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1333
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 3: I mean either one of these I think Singletary is

1334
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 3: is trending the play and whoever is going to be

1335
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 3: the Giants starting running back, so Singletary's back, I think

1336
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 3: he gets the same roll back or if it's Tracy.

1337
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 3: Either one of these guys are going to be definitely

1338
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 3: a top twenty four play, but looking at my rankings

1339
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 3: right now, probably a top fifteen play because the matchup

1340
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 3: is fantastic, and yes, this really just comes down to it. Okay,

1341
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 3: right now, if you want to stop Baltimore, try to

1342
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: stop Baltimore, you stop the run. The Giants are passing

1343
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 3: the ball better than Baltimore is, and I think there's

1344
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: more to be said about, you know, the duplicity of

1345
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 3: that offense. So I'm not saying Daniel Jones is playing

1346
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: quarterback better than Lamar, but I think that there are

1347
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 3: more weapons or ways to try to stop or it's

1348
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 3: harder to stop the Giants right now.

1349
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: So you, like you, I think Singletary comes back because

1350
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: he is trending that way for sure. Eighty six percent

1351
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:55,919
Speaker 1: chance to play on our Are they playing tool?

1352
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: Do you?

1353
01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 6: So?

1354
01:01:58,560 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: You don't think like the kind of the cats out

1355
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: of the back with Tracy and like they're going to

1356
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: need to keep giving him more work.

1357
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 2: You think like it'll just go back to Singletary.

1358
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 3: I think it's I mean, it's a veteran who's played

1359
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 3: really really well as the starter. It's not like he

1360
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,479
Speaker 3: was struggling. He has been good yet and I don't

1361
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 3: think that, you know, regardless of if you want to

1362
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 3: talk about Okay, a guy is not going to lose

1363
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 3: his job due to injury and coming back to this

1364
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: and he had to clear workhorse role. If he's healthy

1365
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 3: enough to play, I think he gets the roll back.

1366
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 2: Yep. What do you think about Tracy this week? Fits well?

1367
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 4: I mean I do think that after maybe Singletary was

1368
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 4: operating as sort of this like underrated workhorse early in

1369
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 4: the season, maybe now they do carveoute a role for

1370
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 4: Tyrone Tracy every week. And certainly they're not going to

1371
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 4: kick Singletary to the curb because he and Brian Dable

1372
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 4: have this long history going back to their days in

1373
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 4: Buffalo together. But I'm ranking Singletary RB twenty four and

1374
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 4: Tracy RB thirty eight, and I'm really excited by what

1375
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 4: we saw from Tyrone, Tracy and Deebro. I know he

1376
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 4: was a guy you liked a lot coming out of

1377
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 4: Purdue this year for a guy who only made the

1378
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 4: switch from wide receiver to running back a couple of

1379
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: years ago. Like he was decisive with his running last

1380
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 4: week in Seattle and also ran really powerfully, forced four

1381
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 4: missed tackles last week, had fifty six rushing yards after contact,

1382
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 4: and finished with forty seven rushing yards over expected in

1383
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 4: that game. According to Next gen stats, So really impressive performance.

1384
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 4: I do think he is going to have some sort

1385
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 4: of role going forward. And yeah, I'm pretty excited about

1386
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 4: what we saw from Tyrone Tracy last week.

1387
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was definitely if you compared his college,

1388
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 3: that was the biggest or one of the biggest knocks

1389
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 3: that I had him about him as a prospect was

1390
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 3: he just looked like a guy who was still learning

1391
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 3: to adjust to the position, like trusting your blocks, following

1392
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 3: your blocks, the vision, things like that, and Dave Ball

1393
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 3: talked about that in the postgame presser. So we've really

1394
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 3: been working on him with again playing running back and

1395
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 3: so seeing not only as decisive as he was, but

1396
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 3: the vision improved for Tree, which that's what you want

1397
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 3: to see. Like he needs reps and he's gotten reps

1398
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 3: and they've worked on it a lot. So he was

1399
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 3: very impressive last week.

1400
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: We'll move to our final question here before we do,

1401
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: I do want credit for not taking the bait on

1402
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: Debro's ludicrous statement that the Giants passing game without Molik

1403
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Neighbors is somehow more threatening than Baltimore's passing game.

1404
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 2: So I want credit that I didn't bring that.

1405
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I quarterbacks, you know, going through dropbacks,

1406
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 3: going through progressions, doing more than you know, operating in

1407
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,959
Speaker 3: a Todd Monkin screen only offense. I'll make that bet.

1408
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how the Ravens beat the Bengals with screens only.

1409
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill's at Jets.

1410
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been either QB one or QB nineteen

1411
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: or lower in every week this season, no in between.

1412
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Which Allen are we getting in Week six against a

1413
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: Jets defense that now has a new coach with.

1414
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Robert Sala outfits.

1415
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 4: I'll start with you here, oh man, Josh Allen was

1416
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 4: so hard to rank this week. I initially slotted him

1417
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 4: like QB five or QB six, but now I've got

1418
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 4: him all the way down at QB nine. It's just

1419
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 4: he does not have enough weapons in the passing game

1420
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 4: right now. If Khalil shakirro doesn't play, and it looks

1421
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 4: like he's probably not gonna play, Dalton Kin Kate has

1422
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 4: been disappointing.

1423
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 5: Just isn't doing anything after the catch at all.

1424
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 4: It seems I would love to see Keon Coleman get

1425
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 4: more snaps out of the slot.

1426
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 5: Man.

1427
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm begging for Keon Coleman big slot usage,

1428
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 4: and they're just lining him up outside and having him

1429
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 4: run this really limited rowtree, which is just disappointing to see.

1430
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 4: Then it's Mac Hollins, Curtis, Samuel Marquezveldez Scantling yuck. So

1431
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 4: plus it's a tough defensive matchup. I mean, we know

1432
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 4: the Jets have cornerbacks who can really cover, so Alan

1433
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 4: is going to have to do some damage as a

1434
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 4: runner to put up Fantasy numbers this week. You know, like,

1435
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 4: I think you're starting him, but man, my expectations are lowered.

1436
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 2: What do you think Debro again QB one or QB

1437
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 2: nineteen or worse?

1438
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: In every game I'm over here squeaking, as Fitz tells

1439
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 3: me is ranking because again we're we have not compared

1440
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 3: this and we have not talked about this prior, but

1441
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: we are hand holding. He is QB nine in my ranks,

1442
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 3: I think low end QB one.

1443
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 2: And you want to.

1444
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 3: Talk about weapons, and really, I mean it's multiple things.

1445
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 3: It's not only Okay, Shakir is banged up, probably doesn't play.

1446
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 3: It's the usage of this offense. James Cook is also

1447
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 3: banged up and maybe doesn't play. So you know, downgrading

1448
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 3: the weapons as well as a tough matchup as well

1449
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 3: as the way the Buffalo wins this game is by

1450
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 3: running the ball. So yes, Josh Allen and the legs

1451
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 3: and the rushing utility necessitates that he still remain at

1452
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 3: QB one, but I'm not high on his passings prospects

1453
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 3: this week. He really needs to get a rushing touchdown

1454
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 3: maybe two to probably still be a QB one this week.

1455
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 3: And that's I know that's tough for Bill's fans to hear,

1456
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 3: but it's the reality.

1457
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up with quick where you are you making

1458
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: him rest of season? Not just for this week, but

1459
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: in your rest of season rankings. Josh Allen is QB

1460
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: what debro huh?

1461
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 3: Right now, I've got to make QB three. I like

1462
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 3: the only two guys I've got over him A Lamar

1463
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 3: and Jane Daniels. But I think like you can, you

1464
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 3: can make the case that Josh Allen could be a

1465
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 3: mid or low end QB. Like if you were to

1466
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 3: tell me he was QB seven or QB eight, and

1467
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 3: people's ranks and they had Jamen Hurt, c. J. Stroud,

1468
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, Jordan Love just to name a few I

1469
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't push back at all about that, so I think

1470
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 3: it's just it's fluid, you know. I think the other

1471
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 3: thing that we haven't discussed here is what if DeVante

1472
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 3: Adams gets traded at the Buffalo. I don't think we

1473
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 3: can truly rule that out, and I think that would

1474
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 3: change the the math here massively for Josh Allen rest

1475
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 3: of season.

1476
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: It's the same question rest of season for Josh Allen.

1477
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 4: I have him QB two right now, behind only Lamar Jackson.

1478
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 4: But Jadan Daniels versus Josh Allen is a really interesting debate.

1479
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 4: And right now I'm giving Josh Allen. I'm practicing veteran

1480
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 4: deference here, but I don't know if that's the right call.

1481
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll wrap up there fun stuff today. Thank

1482
