Speaker 1: I'm a little fired up, all right? Frank walked In't
Speaker 1: he very determined today? I can tell you that much.
Speaker 1: Frank looks like a little kindergartener dancing during the song.

Speaker 1: footy minutes or so, a line of the phone lines
Speaker 1: and take your calls. Of course, the last tournaments the program,
Speaker 1: we have a wide receiver ranks we want to get
Speaker 1: to as well. So it's a jam pack program today, Frank,
Speaker 1: Yes it is. And you know I want to start
Speaker 1: off with the Ravens and Bengals. Obviously I had an
Speaker 1: index card full of stats that I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about downstairs. Left it downstairs. You're a mess, Like, what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Do you want? I need
Speaker 1: a personal intern? Grad you want I need a personal
Speaker 1: You know how Corey talks about like I need some
Speaker 1: superstar treatment. Do you want Alex to read the next
Speaker 1: card to us? I need a personal intern, Alex? Do
Speaker 1: you be a favorite? And I'm not gonna understand because
Speaker 1: I I wrote it all over the place. I only
Speaker 1: I can understand what's going on in me. So you
Speaker 1: don't want him to read us see the next card
Speaker 1: he can try to. All Right, Alex, you you you
Speaker 1: were working on or video video producing. There's an index
Speaker 1: card at Frank's desk, A yellow one is a yellow
Speaker 1: indext card. If you could read some of that gibberish
Speaker 1: to us and we will then be able to make
Speaker 1: sense of it, hopefully, please sir. All Right, here we go,
Speaker 1: says Buck Allen. Three point nine yards per carry, four
Speaker 1: point two yards per touch. All Right, we'll stop right there.
Speaker 1: That was last year's stats. Was last year's stats. So
Speaker 1: Buck Allen last year did what Frank. He sucked. Okay,
Speaker 1: he sucked. He also had if you if you read
Speaker 1: on like the top left like right to the next
Speaker 1: of Buck Allen's name average, he hasn't averaged more than
Speaker 1: five point four yards perception in each of the past
Speaker 1: three seasons. Greg In Alex Collins career, he's averaging eight
Speaker 1: point seven yards perception. But but keep going, Alex, Alex
Speaker 1: Collins four point six yards per catch, yards per carry,
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, five yards per touch, five yards
Speaker 1: per touch. A little bit better than Buck Allen. I
Speaker 1: would series about a yard per touch better than Can
Speaker 1: we get some of the some of the evaded tackle numbers. There,
Speaker 1: Alex got sixteen breakaway runs and seventy six of aided tackles.
Speaker 1: That's for Alex, but what was for Buck Allen? Last year?
Speaker 1: Five bak breakaway runs forty two and he was on
Speaker 1: the field more forty two evaded seventy six for Alex Collins.
Speaker 1: Greg here's my issue, right, it's you don't even a
Speaker 1: blind person can tell just from listening to the game
Speaker 1: that Alex Collins is a better running back then Buck Allen.
Speaker 1: The only difference is which, if you read in the
Speaker 1: bottom right of each section, is the fumbles. Alex Collins
Speaker 1: seven fumbles for twenty eight games. Buck Allen two fumbles,
Speaker 1: but that was back in two thousand and fifteen forty
Speaker 1: two games, so he hasn't fumbled since his rookie season,
Speaker 1: has two fumbles in forty two games. That is the
Speaker 1: lone reason that he is being used on the goal
Speaker 1: line in the red zone in favor of Alex Collins,
Speaker 1: because John Harbaugh is scared that Alex Collins is going
Speaker 1: to fumble the football in the red own and I
Speaker 1: guess I can't fault him for that, But just watching
Speaker 1: the game, the burst, the the tenacity that Alex Collins
Speaker 1: runs with. If the guy got fifteen carries per game
Speaker 1: and five or six targets per game, because we saw
Speaker 1: yesterday the guy can catch the ball and after he
Speaker 1: makes the catch, he can make things happen in the
Speaker 1: open field. Alex Collins, it is if he would just
Speaker 1: get used correctly, he would easily easily out perform the
Speaker 1: third round draft price that he had on draft day. Greg.
Speaker 1: So I'm here to tell you hashtag, get the buck
Speaker 1: outta here. So here's my my problem. I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone's arguing with you. I'm certainly not arguing with you.
Speaker 1: It's just frustrated that Alex Collins is better than Buck Allen.
Speaker 1: But what you need to you can yell and scream,
Speaker 1: give all these statistics, and they're right. It's true. It's
Speaker 1: the Kenyan Drake situation too last year. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It makes no difference how good you're telling me Alex
Speaker 1: Collins is, because the fact of the matter is Buck
Speaker 1: Allen has a role on this team. You had a
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown round last night. He was involved in
Speaker 1: the passing game. And Alex Collins, who was drafted in
Speaker 1: the third round as an RB two. He's given you
Speaker 1: RB two numbers. In fact that no one's talking about.
Speaker 1: Where people started realizing it later this morning is that
Speaker 1: Alex Collins had a better game game last night that
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon did, despite how good Joe Mixon looked when
Speaker 1: he was in the game forgetting the knee injuries. So
Speaker 1: say what you want, you know, any snack you want.
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to disagree with you that Alex Collins isn't
Speaker 1: better than Buck Allen. It's true. It doesn't matter one
Speaker 1: Buck Allen has a very my opinion, very very secure
Speaker 1: role in this offense. I'm not here to defend myself.
Speaker 1: I mean you I mentioned I referenced a lot of
Speaker 1: these numbers before the season even started. I'm just further
Speaker 1: enhancing that the stupidity that is going on in the
Speaker 1: Ravens offense right now. And I know, you know, game
Speaker 1: flow played into the game last night earlier. You know
Speaker 1: that game got a hand in the first half, so
Speaker 1: they weren't using Alex Collins all that much, and then
Speaker 1: in the second half they were actually using him, you know,
Speaker 1: in the past game, something that we haven't really seen
Speaker 1: out of Alex Collins in the past. But I was
Speaker 1: encouraged by that, the fact that you know, he only
Speaker 1: had one drop last night. It was on a target
Speaker 1: on the sideline. It wasn't it wasn't the easiest catch,
Speaker 1: but everything else that he had come his way he caught.
Speaker 1: He looked good in the past game. He looked explosive
Speaker 1: when he was running the football. He runs hard, he
Speaker 1: runs strong, he initiates contact, he doesn't shy away from it.
Speaker 1: In every single facet of the game. He is a
Speaker 1: better running back than Buck Allen except for ball security.
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why Buck Allen has his role
Speaker 1: on this team. And I'm not going to dispute that.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, I'm just painting the pictures, whatever pictures
Speaker 1: you want, of how much better Alex Collins is then
Speaker 1: Buck Allen. And I'm just gonna sit here and hope
Speaker 1: that the Ravens coaching staff is listening. What did you
Speaker 1: think of the other side in the running games, Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon left the game twice with knee injury. He came
Speaker 1: back both times. It looked like it was just some
Speaker 1: sort's nothing serious. Certainly with ten days off before their
Speaker 1: next game, Joe Mixon will be fine. Everybody was absolutely
Speaker 1: love the way Joe Mixon looked last night. He was patient,
Speaker 1: he was fast, but when he got the numbers, they
Speaker 1: weren't exactly there, which is interesting in a game that
Speaker 1: they were leading pretty significantly throughout. What do you think
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon's game last night? I thought it was a
Speaker 1: mixed bag. I will agree that he looked incredibly patient.
Speaker 1: He hit the hole's hard. Even with Billy Price going down.
Speaker 1: The offensive line looks pretty good for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: Twenty one carries for eighty four yards, He's right around
Speaker 1: four yards per carry there. He had a long of
Speaker 1: twenty one, so he showed some explosiveness. I was impressed
Speaker 1: that he battled a knee injury, came back in and
Speaker 1: still looked as explosive as he did. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be worried about that knee injury moving forward because he
Speaker 1: did enter back in the game and he showed off
Speaker 1: some of that explosiveness. What I did worry about is
Speaker 1: that Jio Bernard was much more involved in this game,
Speaker 1: even once Joe Mixon came back in the game. Geo
Speaker 1: Bernard's seven targets, four receptions for fifteen yards and Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon had just one target, one reception for three yards.
Speaker 1: That was the biggest difference. Last week was their Week
Speaker 1: one usage. Joe Mixing absolutely dominated both on the ground
Speaker 1: through the passing game. He had seven targets last last week,
Speaker 1: five receptions fifty four yards, and then last night he
Speaker 1: only had one target, one reception and three yards. I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of game flow related. I think in
Speaker 1: games where it's a little bit closer, or if they're
Speaker 1: playing catch up a little bit more, Joe Mixing will
Speaker 1: be on the field and he will be targeted in
Speaker 1: the passing game. So overall, I thought he looked fine. Um,
Speaker 1: the fact that he ran for eighty plus yards against
Speaker 1: a pretty stout Ravens run defense, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: Obviously you wanted him to get in the end zone.
Speaker 1: But I think considering, you know, everything happened throughout the night,
Speaker 1: the knee injury, the score kind of getting out of hand,
Speaker 1: him coming back in the game to still get you know,
Speaker 1: close to ninety total yards, I think it's fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought so. She didn't bother me seeing Giovanni Bernard's
Speaker 1: roll in the offense. I kind have expected it, right,
Speaker 1: like like this isn't unexpected. I thought the numbers were good.
Speaker 1: Ravens defense, he's a good one, and mixing who lost
Speaker 1: some weight in the off season. I think I think
Speaker 1: you saw it last night, right like he looked thinner,
Speaker 1: he looked have more burst. And you didn't see that
Speaker 1: last year coming in early in the season for Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon and the Bengals. So those that believe that Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon was going to jump and take that next step,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta prea view of that potentially last night.
Speaker 1: And it's amazing. We started up the show talking about
Speaker 1: Alex Collins and talking about Joe Mixon and not about
Speaker 1: the player that scored three touchdowns last night, and that
Speaker 1: was a J. Green. You came went all passionately and
Speaker 1: I turned the game on about ten and a half
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the first quarter. Bengals are up
Speaker 1: seven nothing. They were actually kicking off after their first drive,
Speaker 1: and I, oh, man, I wonder who scored. I'm like, god, damn,
Speaker 1: it was a J. Green. I'm I'm playing a J.
Speaker 1: Green in both of my two home leagues. All right,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, one catch, touchdown and hopefully the rest
Speaker 1: is limited, right next next catch was also for a
Speaker 1: touchdown as as was the next catch was was also
Speaker 1: over touchdown. And I'm sitting there and of course you were.
Speaker 1: I mean a group chat with both of those leagues,
Speaker 1: and all they're doing is just sitting laughing, just laughing
Speaker 1: at me, laughing at like, congratulations group who was at you?
Speaker 1: Everybody you know? Having Max Max Max, Oh, Max money
Speaker 1: Max who goes around throwing his fab around. Philip Lindsay,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the stage. Philip Lindsay's been as he made
Speaker 1: a trade. He traded away Austin Ekelay, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a slober knocker of a trade to the Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: owner for Keeling Cole fine, Okay, don't make fun of
Speaker 1: great Susan Max. So he was. He got nervous after
Speaker 1: the fact because last year he traded away Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: for Alan Hearns, so a backup running back for a
Speaker 1: jacksonvill wide receiver. And now he's done it again. So
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon like tears his a c L or something
Speaker 1: like that over the weekend and aust becomes his RB
Speaker 1: one Mac Max did it again. I think it's a
Speaker 1: fair trade. I mean whatever Keiling Coals like a high
Speaker 1: end wide receiver. Four, He's gonna be a bye week replacement. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't really want much to do with the Jaguar's
Speaker 1: passing attack. I feel like it can be one week
Speaker 1: this guy, one week that guy. Um but Austin Ekeler
Speaker 1: has standalone value even with Melvin Gordon, and we saw
Speaker 1: that last week. There are actually some people who think
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler is a better all around running back to
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. They think he's more explosive, which it's kind
Speaker 1: of crazy to say, but um No, Austin Ekeler has
Speaker 1: has looked pretty good and he has a role in
Speaker 1: his offense. So I think, especially in PPR leagues, he's
Speaker 1: he's going to be in that low and flex discussion
Speaker 1: every single week. Yeah, I think he will be. Let
Speaker 1: listen last week against Kansas City, the perfect matchup for them,
Speaker 1: the perfect matchup for the Chargers, and everybody love him
Speaker 1: this way. He liked Philip Rivers a lot, and that's
Speaker 1: why I think the dfs of Ben Roethlisberger plays. He's
Speaker 1: an awesome start this week against that Kansas City secondary.
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler has his role, but let's not forget Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon had his nine receptions last week, he had thirteen targets,
Speaker 1: career high, absolutely ridiculous usage in the passing game. And
Speaker 1: you know, again, we spoke about it early in the
Speaker 1: draft season, Greg, we didn't understand why people were pushing
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon down the draft board. We saw in some
Speaker 1: early drafts him going in the second round. It just
Speaker 1: it didn't make sense. Based on the continued increase in
Speaker 1: passing game usage for Melvin Gordon year in a year out,
Speaker 1: and the fact that he has scored twelve touchdowns in
Speaker 1: each of the past two years. He's just as safe
Speaker 1: as it comes when it comes to a first round
Speaker 1: running back. Greg I didn't want to touch on the
Speaker 1: secondary receivers for both teams here, that being John Brown
Speaker 1: and Tyler Board And maybe you know, you can argue
Speaker 1: John Brown isn't the secondary receiver on this team. You
Speaker 1: can argue that he's the first receiver. He was tied
Speaker 1: for the team lead with ten targets in this game,
Speaker 1: tied with Michael Crabtree, but he had four receptions for
Speaker 1: ninety two yards and a touch on. It's very clear
Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco always has a guy he likes to
Speaker 1: throw down the field in this offense, and John Brown
Speaker 1: is that guy, and now we've seen back to back
Speaker 1: weeks where he has scored a touchdown. I think once
Speaker 1: they get inside the red zone, Michael Crabtree is more
Speaker 1: of that guy. Or they did target John Brown and
Speaker 1: drop they did. I believe Michael Crabtree had a Did
Speaker 1: he have a target inside the red zone? I feel
Speaker 1: like I believe he did. I believe he did John
Speaker 1: Brown target right there, he dropped. It wasn't a great throw,
Speaker 1: but he did drop it. It's basically we just passed
Speaker 1: right or a J. Green by the lay after you
Speaker 1: let me do my diet drip. I mean, what else
Speaker 1: are you gonna say about him? Like, start your studs
Speaker 1: us the second round wide receiver? You were a little
Speaker 1: bit off of them this year come cofinitely, definitely, I mean,
Speaker 1: but you still had him in that kind of you know,
Speaker 1: top ten range. Um. So, I look, he's an underappreciated
Speaker 1: wide receiver. One year in and year out. I saw
Speaker 1: Evan Silva tweeting about how he's probably gonna be the
Speaker 1: most underappreciated Hall of Fame wide receiver of all time.
Speaker 1: And I don't really know that we can dispute that.
Speaker 1: So A. J. Green just continuing to get it done.
Speaker 1: Tied for the team lead for the Bengals with nine targets,
Speaker 1: the three touchdown receptions as you mentioned, and sixty nine yards. Nice.
Speaker 1: But I do have to just reiterate I tweeted this
Speaker 1: out last night. I was disrespecting John Brown before the
Speaker 1: season started. Um. When it comes to the sickle cell,
Speaker 1: I didn't know how he was gonna be used in
Speaker 1: this offense overall. How healthy can he stay? Again? I
Speaker 1: mean he looks him and Michael Crabtree, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: are both top thirty six wide receivers. Right now, I
Speaker 1: will throw in the caveat Obviously, the Ravens are not
Speaker 1: going to be throwing the ball fifty five times in
Speaker 1: every single game, but for them to get up in
Speaker 1: games or if they're traillion games, it's obvious that John
Speaker 1: Brown and Michael Crabtree are the top two targets in
Speaker 1: this offense. And then on the other side, you need
Speaker 1: to pay attention to Tyler. You absolutely need to pay
Speaker 1: attention to him. Nine targets, tied with A. J. Green,
Speaker 1: six receptions, yards a touchdown. We wanted Tyler effort to
Speaker 1: be a thing again this year. Greg we wanted John
Speaker 1: Ross could be a thing this year, and Mike Clay
Speaker 1: tweeted out earlier today. Week one eight percent target share
Speaker 1: for Tyler Boyd. Last night pent target share for Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd on the season, Tyler Croft just ten percent of
Speaker 1: the target share, John Ross eight and a half percent
Speaker 1: of the target chair. Tyler Boyd is clearly the number
Speaker 1: two wide receiver in this offense. I'm not ready to
Speaker 1: push him into that wide receiver three range with John
Speaker 1: Ross and Michael Crabtree. I think he's right outside of that.
Speaker 1: But he's going to be in the low end wide
Speaker 1: receiver three discussion and he's going to be usable as
Speaker 1: a bye week wide receiver. So if he's on your
Speaker 1: waiver wire, that's going to be a guy that you
Speaker 1: are targeting next year. I'm pretty excited about him as
Speaker 1: the number two receiver in this offense. Right there, you
Speaker 1: go something you have to look at. Tyler Boyd for Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: maybe not John Ross. We'll take a break here. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll he the the latest on the
Speaker 1: injury updates with Leonard Fournette, with DeVante Freeman, and with
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and we'll get to Frankie's wide receiver ranks.
Speaker 1: That's coming your way when we come back the Fantasy

Speaker 1: There you go. That's the deal with bet DA side Frank,
Speaker 1: let's get in the latest with some of the injury
Speaker 1: news and notes. DeVante Freeman, remember, had over a week
Speaker 1: now since he hurt his knee, and he said he
Speaker 1: was fine, no big deal. Did not practice Wednesday, did
Speaker 1: not practice Thursday, and now has not practiced Friday. It
Speaker 1: seems unlikely he will get to go on Sunday, which
Speaker 1: means Tevin Coleman is wearing your rankings. I haven't updated
Speaker 1: yet because that information just came out, but I'll put
Speaker 1: up for you right now and just kind of figure
Speaker 1: it out walking through my process of where I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put him. So trust all right, whatever, greg I had
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman as running back twenty four right now, Tevin
Speaker 1: Coleman will undoubtedly be higher than that. I'll move him
Speaker 1: what running back seventeen? Okay, So a a RB to
Speaker 1: the solid RB two this week. I'm gonna move him
Speaker 1: right behind j H I and Royce Freeman. I'm very,
Speaker 1: very bullish on Royce Freeman this week. I think he
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone against Oakland, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have Tevin Coleman just ahead of Lamar Miller, Carlos Hide,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. My thinking with that is regardless of the
Speaker 1: bad matchup against Carolina. We just saw Ezekiel Elliot score
Speaker 1: touchdown against him last week, and we've seen that whenever
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman fills in for Devancy Freeman, he gets big workloads.
Speaker 1: We're talking twenty plus touches. So the fact that he's
Speaker 1: going to see that amount of work is going to
Speaker 1: outweigh the fact that he's playing the Carolina Panthers. Greg Yeah,
Speaker 1: I completely agree that Carolina Panthers play too. Tevin Coleman's
Speaker 1: a great DFS play, as is the other side. I
Speaker 1: really like Christian McCaffrey as well. Against the Falcons without
Speaker 1: Kyan O'Neil and without the other linebacker, John Thompson was
Speaker 1: sand Day Thompson, John Jones, who also is hurt both
Speaker 1: um Both of those running backs in that game. Really
Speaker 1: really like them. Now. The other big running back injury
Speaker 1: from last week, Leonard four Nette. It was a mild
Speaker 1: hamstring injury that calls him not to practice Wednesday or
Speaker 1: Thursday or Friday. It doesn't look like Leonard Fournette will
Speaker 1: go on Sunday. Where does that put t j yeld
Speaker 1: in your rankings? Yeah, he's gonna be more of a
Speaker 1: low nd RB two for me, but he's gonna come
Speaker 1: inside the top twenty four for sure, going up against
Speaker 1: the new England Patriots defense which allowed over five yards
Speaker 1: per carry just about five yards four point nine yards
Speaker 1: per carry in Week one against Lamar Miller who we
Speaker 1: all know, Greg Lama Miller sucks. She sucks. So they
Speaker 1: allowed four point nine yards per carry to Houston Texans
Speaker 1: and the Boys, and then they also allowed a rushing
Speaker 1: touchdown to Alfred Blue. So t j Yelden is gonna
Speaker 1: come in. I think he'll be close to that twenty
Speaker 1: touch range once again. Corey Grant will get his I
Speaker 1: think he could see anywhere from you know, six to
Speaker 1: ten touches. But t j Yelden is going to get
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen carries similar to what he did last week
Speaker 1: and He's going to be evolved in the passing game,
Speaker 1: especially if the Jaguars were to fall behind in this game.
Speaker 1: You don't really expect that because their defense is as good,
Speaker 1: but they're going up against New England, so it could happen.
Speaker 1: And if that happens, we're gonna see even more targets
Speaker 1: for t J Yelden out of the backfield without Leonard
Speaker 1: four and at the top twenty four running back this week,
Speaker 1: Greg top twenty four running back behind Coleman still would
Speaker 1: let it, but you believe t J Yelden a top
Speaker 1: twenty four running back this week. That brings me to
Speaker 1: Green Bay and it brings me you know, before you
Speaker 1: get there. People that chat rightfully so are talking about
Speaker 1: Corey Grant when it comes to t J Yelden not
Speaker 1: not a part of the game plan last week with
Speaker 1: four Nett probably out. Do you think Grant gets involved
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah? I mentioned that when I was discussing
Speaker 1: t J. Yells and I think he'll have his role
Speaker 1: six to ten touches per game. Um, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: five carries and five targets something like that. I could see, uh,
Speaker 1: some kind of breakdown like that. But it's still going
Speaker 1: to be in my opinion majority uh t J Yelden.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they try and draw up
Speaker 1: some creative stuff for Corey Grant because he is very
Speaker 1: explosive out of the backfield. But that doesn't again, that
Speaker 1: doesn't affect me from ranking t J Yelden to the
Speaker 1: top twenty four running back this week. There you go.
Speaker 1: T J yelled in Inside Frankie's Town twenty four despite
Speaker 1: Corey Grant still being around there. Aaron Rodgers in Green
Speaker 1: Bay the interesting even thinking about the Packers, they do
Speaker 1: not practice on Friday. They practice Wednesday thirty Thursday, Friday
Speaker 1: is their walkthrough and then Saturday is there or practice.
Speaker 1: So there isn't much information on him other than that
Speaker 1: he's consistently improving. I'm getting the tea leaves rank and
Speaker 1: him reading him. I think he plays Sunday. Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: He's clearly not at It's very very risky again going
Speaker 1: up against that Minnesota Vikings defense. As aggressive as they are.
Speaker 1: They're going to rush the passer, they're gonna get exotic
Speaker 1: with it, they're gonna bring blitz is. They're going to
Speaker 1: try and find any single way that they can knock
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers ahead of this game so that they have
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to win this game. This game is
Speaker 1: going to matter very big down the stretch for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: We talked about them before the season, Greg just for
Speaker 1: season total over unders. Both of these teams were projected
Speaker 1: to win ten games, so if they're both in that
Speaker 1: range come the end of the season, these a these
Speaker 1: NFC North matchups are going to matter heavily. So I
Speaker 1: still think that, uh, this is the Vikings game to lose.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm worried about Aaron Rodgers. He's barely inside my
Speaker 1: top ten as a quarterback this week just based on
Speaker 1: the matchup and the fact that he's not on UM. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm overall I'm worried about him. But if you
Speaker 1: have him, like, the only quarterbacks I would start over
Speaker 1: him is Ben Roethlisberger, who we have to pay attention
Speaker 1: to now with the elbow injury, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Tom Brady, Russell, Wilson Um, and
Speaker 1: then I actually have Aaron Rodgers at number eight. So
Speaker 1: if you have one of those other quarterbacks, by all means,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Start him. But it's not like it's really
Speaker 1: interesting you. I mean, I wouldn't say it's not likely.
Speaker 1: You very well could have Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Wolmes,
Speaker 1: so I think would start my Homes over him. That's
Speaker 1: really balls No, it's not a seventy Aaron Rodgers going
Speaker 1: up against the Vikings defense. I don't think it's ballsy.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of points scored in that
Speaker 1: Steelers Chiefs games. It's the highest over under by far
Speaker 1: this week from Vegas. So I'm I have Patrick ma
Speaker 1: Hoomes at the top five quarterback. I'm not worried about it. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope you're right because um eight four eight, four
Speaker 1: three six seven nine. I'm gonna with the phone lines now, Frankie,
Speaker 1: and now we're getting your wide receiver ranks. Cool. Let's
Speaker 1: start with Jeff in Michigan. What's going on? Jeff? Hi?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Great? Man? I have a quick question, UM,
Speaker 1: long term cool, do you guys trist Andrew Luck or
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Yeah, I'll take Andrew Luck, sure, just because
Speaker 1: he's the he's the healthy player now, even if Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz comes back a few weeks from now, in October
Speaker 1: there's still regression coming for his uh, his touchdown total
Speaker 1: from last year. And Andrew Luck looked this defense is
Speaker 1: not good. Uh, and he proved last week that they're
Speaker 1: gonna be in some shootouts. So I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see a lot of games this year where Andrew Luck
Speaker 1: is slinging the ball forty plus times. Um, so give
Speaker 1: me Andrew Luck. I agree with that. We gotta. I
Speaker 1: want to see um Carson want to get back healthy.
Speaker 1: Still not clear of contact yet, so we have some time.
Speaker 1: So give me Andrew Luck the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: I agree, even in the long term, down the stretch,
Speaker 1: I'll take Andrew Luck. Let me get to Julian in Miami.
Speaker 1: What's going on, Julian? What's up? Guys? How's everything? Everything's
Speaker 1: going great? Dude, what's going on? Awesome? Even though Frankie
Speaker 1: and little touch stuff on this UM have seven Coleman
Speaker 1: I looked like Freeman might be out um perflex should
Speaker 1: I considered Coleman over Doju or Royce Freeman. So Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman Coleman. I know we're back to back in his ranking,
Speaker 1: so that's that's obviously pretty tough shoes. So we love
Speaker 1: the match up. Against Kansas City. We love big Band
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy enough to play. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: really hard. Yeah, Juju is actually ranking inside my top
Speaker 1: twelve this week, both him and Antonio Brown Top twelve
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, So he's absolutely in your lineup. That
Speaker 1: chief secondary is brutal. Did we catch what format this is?
Speaker 1: Because I think that's going to determine who I use
Speaker 1: between Yeah and in PPR, ILL used seven Coleman just
Speaker 1: because I think he's going to be more involved in
Speaker 1: the pet game. The rankings I was talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: our standard, I think there's I think it's a better
Speaker 1: chance that Royce Freeman gets in the INDU on this
Speaker 1: week again. I just think I think it's gonna happen
Speaker 1: against that Raiders defense. I think they're gonna be playing
Speaker 1: with the lead and the right readers. Defense just did
Speaker 1: not impress me at all. But Tevin Coleman will be
Speaker 1: more involved in the game than Royce Freeman, so I
Speaker 1: would have him ranked higher in PPR. Keevin Coleman over
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman. Yeah, I totally agree with that. I also
Speaker 1: go with Coleman over Royce Freeman. As much as Frankie
Speaker 1: likes Royce Freeman. I'm not as high on him. I
Speaker 1: like Coleman. I know he's going to be everything in
Speaker 1: that backfield, every carry, every reception, he's gonna be on
Speaker 1: the field. Royce Freeman is now splitting time. I know
Speaker 1: we don't like it. And this is much like the
Speaker 1: Alex Collins thing, where there's more talent here than any
Speaker 1: other running back there. But Philip Lindsay is now a thing.
Speaker 1: DeVante book is still a thing. Give me tivin Coleman. Yep,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna got it. Absolutely. And before we're out
Speaker 1: of the calls for right now, we go out through
Speaker 1: our friend Bob in Vermont. What's going on? Bobby? Guys
Speaker 1: doing great? Bob, what's going on? Last week? On UM,
Speaker 1: let's a quote, UM drapings. I went three dollars nice,
Speaker 1: that's great, four dollars. Then I did three dollars on
Speaker 1: I won three dollars, so I decided to put fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars to win what you get a chip to win
Speaker 1: a million dollars. So my uh, my lineup is Drew
Speaker 1: brees Connor from Pickettsburg Steelers, Girly Cut from the Rams,
Speaker 1: uh Allison from the Game Bay Packers, and the Jets.
Speaker 1: Guy was a kid pronounced yeah, there you go, Frank,
Speaker 1: thank you, and then Josh Reid right from Washington, Jordan
Speaker 1: read Jordan read ya, and Kamar from the Saints. Then
Speaker 1: for defense, I took the Jets. So what do you
Speaker 1: think of that line up? I like it. I hope
Speaker 1: you allon, dude, but if you're trying to win a
Speaker 1: million pucks, you gotta do something good. He's good, but
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers may not play, and he's placing the Vikings defense. Okay,
Speaker 1: who should that pick it besides him? And I don't
Speaker 1: know the options. There's a lot of players. Are there
Speaker 1: any wide receivers that you see that are around the
Speaker 1: same salary as Geronimo Allison that you can let us
Speaker 1: know of. Yeah, I could tell you that. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: show you the prices of everybody. Well, U, what's his name?
Speaker 1: Chris told me to take the guy on the jet
Speaker 1: to get rid of the other guy. Um, I like
Speaker 1: Canada than Yeah, I do too. I don't think Robbie
Speaker 1: and you just got a big now it doesn't really
Speaker 1: affect Well, yeah, he's not that good, but not bether
Speaker 1: than the other guy. I think. All right, so we
Speaker 1: have Geronimo Allison have thirty eight hundred dollars this week. Greg.
Speaker 1: Some other wide receivers that are also that price, Jarius Wright,
Speaker 1: Bruce Ellington, James Washington is a Jones? Yeah, this isn't great.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Williams? How that popped up? What about Jim main curse?
Speaker 1: Is that good? No? Too many Jets? No? No, no, Jeremy,
Speaker 1: what about Jeremy Curley? How Jeremy Macklin? Jeremy Curley? You
Speaker 1: really you just like Jets and former Jets. Huh, that's
Speaker 1: that's your thing. No, no, no, I'm looking at He
Speaker 1: told me to look at the prices I found. I found,
Speaker 1: I found your player this week, Bob, you're gonna use
Speaker 1: Mike Williams from the Los Angeles Chargers at thirty seven
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I don't think he's going to be very
Speaker 1: highly owned, and he's going up against that porous buffalo
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. That's the play that's gonna win you a
Speaker 1: million dollars this week, Bob. That's right because they kind
Speaker 1: of bills. Yeah, kind of Bob. If you win a
Speaker 1: million dollars, how much do I get? Because I just
Speaker 1: helped you make your lineup? I'll give you none, alright, none,
Speaker 1: done done. I mean, I mean you're getting Bob. We
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, my friend. We're talking a lot of
Speaker 1: wide receivers there with Bob's let's get into your wide
Speaker 1: receiver ranks here, Frankie. The wide receiver ranks available right
Speaker 1: now over at Rhodo Experts dot com for free. That's correct, yes,
Speaker 1: and it includes a brief right up on five players
Speaker 1: that I am higher and than the expert consensus ranking.
Speaker 1: I usually just skip that and look at the rank.
Speaker 1: You should probably read it. It's pretty useful. I had
Speaker 1: some stats in there about Alfred Morris and why I
Speaker 1: like him this week. It's not a wide receiver, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna move on. There are some wide
Speaker 1: receiver stats that you can read to people in that
Speaker 1: article of I'm good. I'm gonna move on the number
Speaker 1: twenty one because I was looking at your wide receiver
Speaker 1: ranks here, frank at the PPR. Don't tell me they
Speaker 1: don't not do PPR. But number twenty one you have
Speaker 1: the first Los Angeles RAMS wide receiver, and that is
Speaker 1: the last RAMS wide receiver that was taken in drafts
Speaker 1: just two weeks ago, you have Cooper Cup as the
Speaker 1: first wide receiver for the Rams. How come I think
Speaker 1: he is the safest wide receiver by far this week
Speaker 1: going up against the Arizona Cardinals. Look, their huge favorites
Speaker 1: in that game, but they need to get up in
Speaker 1: order to win by that margin, and how is that
Speaker 1: going to happen? They're gonna have to pass the ball
Speaker 1: a little bit. So whether it's Robert Woods or Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks on the outside, Look, one of these guys is
Speaker 1: going to be matched up with Patrick Peterson. You just
Speaker 1: don't know which one. According to Pro Football Focus right now,
Speaker 1: they have Robert Woods matched up with Patrick Peterson. But
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if once the game starts that's
Speaker 1: actually open righting Cooke's greg So I'm worried. Look, if
Speaker 1: you want to be contrarian in DFS and try and
Speaker 1: use one of those wide receivers because they're not going
Speaker 1: to be highly owned, I understand wanting to do that.
Speaker 1: But my opinion, the one wide receiver you know is
Speaker 1: not going to be guarded by Patrick Peterson for sure
Speaker 1: is Cooper Cup and it's going to be matched up
Speaker 1: against Buddha Baker and according to Pro football focused wide
Speaker 1: receiver cornerback matchups, that is a great, great matchup for
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. I think he gets in the end zone
Speaker 1: again a week two, Greg, I hope. So I would
Speaker 1: just start Cooper Cup and following your advice from starting
Speaker 1: him in the same a lot of I have Robert
Speaker 1: woods in all in on the Rams, huh, and the
Speaker 1: Rams and Survivors spoiler areas right now, and then we
Speaker 1: go to their hamps. Yeah, I think that makes the
Speaker 1: most sense. There's like you can if you if you
Speaker 1: want to go with the New Orleans Saints this week.
Speaker 1: You just saw what happened last week. They lost to
Speaker 1: the Tampa eight Bucks, but they're ten point favorites once again.
Speaker 1: So I think the New Orleans Saints are in play here.
Speaker 1: But personally, I wouldn't do it. I can't pull the
Speaker 1: trigger on that because the Cleveland Browns actually played pretty
Speaker 1: well against the Pittsburgh Steelers a week ago. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, I think the Rams and the
Speaker 1: Chargers are the teams that have stood up the most.
Speaker 1: To me, I might differentiate. I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: one survivor. I'm gonna go with the Rams. And the other.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Chargers. I will say it
Speaker 1: does worry me slightly that the Chargers are traveling west
Speaker 1: to east for a one pm Eastern time game against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Let's see one cause for concern that
Speaker 1: I have there. But if you want to go duel Rams,
Speaker 1: if you play multiple multiple survivors, I think they're the
Speaker 1: number one play this week and number two I have
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think so too. I think I'm also
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Rams over the I like the
Speaker 1: Eagles too, but it's like they're on the road. Anything
Speaker 1: can happen when Nick Foles is the quarterback. No, I agree.
Speaker 1: I like the Eagles as well, but listen, I'm not
Speaker 1: against the team that just put up fifty points silly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, with with the backup quarterback with Nick Foles.
Speaker 1: If you look at the NFL schedule this week, the
Speaker 1: only reason I don't like the Rams, who are the
Speaker 1: biggest favorite on the board, is a division matchup. Like
Speaker 1: these crazy things happen in division matchups. So then you
Speaker 1: get to the Chargers. UM and the Chargers as my
Speaker 1: second pick. It's probably the worst team in the league
Speaker 1: in Buffalo you're trying to cross the country. You want
Speaker 1: o'clock game. As Frankie mentioned, it's hard. You know, if
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabrat would have started for Tennessee, maybe I would
Speaker 1: have more comfortable taking Houston, but he's not. I can't
Speaker 1: go back to the New Orleans well because I have
Speaker 1: no idea, um how good they are. Somebody brought up
Speaker 1: to me on Twitter, san Francisco over Detroit. That was
Speaker 1: another one that would probably be my third choice. I
Speaker 1: would use San Francisco before I would use New Orleans.
Speaker 1: What about Denver in Oakland again? Divisional matchup? You love Denver.
Speaker 1: I do like Denver. They would be fourth on the
Speaker 1: list there. I mean Scott Angle giving your top five
Speaker 1: survivor picks. Here, I mean, I told you who I'm using.
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm flip flopping. I understand. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: use the Rams and one and the Charges in the other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, But if I want to be a little contrarier,
Speaker 1: get him out of the way. I mean the Broncos
Speaker 1: in the Forts and the next teams up. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: I like the Broncos a lot. I like the Broncos
Speaker 1: are They're good defense defense Shi domine. I will say this,
Speaker 1: John Gruden just got embarrassed in prime time. I worry
Speaker 1: about teams when they get embarrassed in primetime because they're
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back. And that goes for both the Lions
Speaker 1: and the Oakland Raiders. I mean, these they are professional athletes.
Speaker 1: These guys play with pride, Greg They're not gonna get
Speaker 1: embarrassed two weeks around. Here's the reason it's tough to
Speaker 1: take the Niners or the Broncos because you don't know
Speaker 1: how good either of those teams actually are. That's what's
Speaker 1: really scared. At least the Rams, like, you know they're good,
Speaker 1: and even though it's a division game, I just feel
Speaker 1: comfortable taking a team that's good. We know what charges
Speaker 1: are good too, or at least I do a four, four, eight, three, six,
Speaker 1: seven nine Frankie's wide receiver ranks and you're start and
Speaker 1: sit questions are coming up next. The Fantasy Sports Radio

Speaker 1: just trying to help the people. Well, if people want
Speaker 1: to help and give us a call at the four
Speaker 1: four eight three six seven nine. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever referred to yourself as a fantasy superhero, Greg,
Speaker 1: No doubt I have not. I did last night for
Speaker 1: the first. That's one of the more absurdain things I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. No, it's not because you referred to yourself.
Speaker 1: That's like referring to yourself as a king. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not the same thing. I think it's exactly. But
Speaker 1: KINGA was talking to me, King gut fiance was trying
Speaker 1: to talk to me and was trying to talk to me. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're done. If you guys have hashtags for for Frank,
Speaker 1: let us know on Twitter at Rhodo underscore Frank and
Speaker 1: an accurate so far. His fiance's name is KINGA, so
Speaker 1: I've said King of the North as my hashtag, or
Speaker 1: you know, Frank found his king. That's what I'm That's
Speaker 1: what I'm currently going with. UM. I love King of
Speaker 1: the North. I don't know if she loved as much
Speaker 1: as I did. Um, But if you have any wedding
Speaker 1: hashtags for Frank and his fiance Kinga. Let us know
Speaker 1: he'side on YouTube chat or tweeting at Rhodo underscore. Frank, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that. Greg. Would you like to tell
Speaker 1: people the hashtag do you have or is that like
Speaker 1: not revealed pust it on Instagram? We're good, alright, so
Speaker 1: revealed to the We're going hashtag cuckoo for Sussman. Judy's
Speaker 1: last name is Coucker, so we're going with cuckoo for
Speaker 1: all right. Now, can I explain my why I'm a
Speaker 1: fantasy superhero? Constantly says at Frank stamfle is my superhero,
Speaker 1: thanks man. But Kinga was talking to me, and mind you,
Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter. It's right before the Thursday night game starting.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm helping people set their lineup. I'm like, Babe,
Speaker 1: don't get mad at me, Babe, don't get mad at
Speaker 1: me that I'm not answering you. The people need me,
Speaker 1: they need me. I am the fantasy sue hero. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm here to save their teams. And that
Speaker 1: was my justification for not paying attention to how did
Speaker 1: you get the How was the response to that? She
Speaker 1: was cool with it, really I mean, that's why she's
Speaker 1: the one. Greg, that's crazy. I cannot say with that response,
Speaker 1: I would have said, you know, working I need to do,
Speaker 1: I need to answer people, and she would have been like,
Speaker 1: but that's why you had to put like kind of
Speaker 1: like a funny, weird spin on it. I tried to
Speaker 1: make it acceptable by calling myself the fantasy superhero, which
Speaker 1: I would not normally do that again, like, that's not
Speaker 1: the moniker I want. I'm not gonna. You can give
Speaker 1: me some superhero music, it'd be great. I'm not gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, just go out there and call myself the king.
Speaker 1: You hold myself a fantasy superhero one time to justify
Speaker 1: not paying attention to my fiance talking to me. Saying
Speaker 1: that word over and over again is just getting weird
Speaker 1: to like, let's answer some questions or something, Greg, all right,
Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. First. Let's go to Danny
Speaker 1: and Canada. What's up Danny? So, dude, Hello, Yo, hey man,
Speaker 1: I got a question here. Sure, I'm in a four
Speaker 1: point PPR and um, I have to start one of
Speaker 1: the two I have David Johnson and James Conner. Am
Speaker 1: I over coaching it by trying to sit David Johnson
Speaker 1: or is he in tough week too, Greggy, would you
Speaker 1: like to refer to my running back rankings for this one?
Speaker 1: You can refer to yourself. You know that I have
Speaker 1: James Connor ranked in the top three running back this week. Um,
Speaker 1: so I'm starting him over David Johnson. I don't think
Speaker 1: that you're overthinking it. Um the Uh, the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half point underdogs in this game, and
Speaker 1: I know that David Johnson was that team's entire offense
Speaker 1: in Week one. But if they fall behind early in
Speaker 1: this game, they're just they're gonna have to try and
Speaker 1: pass to get back into it. And if it's a
Speaker 1: blowout by the fourth quarter, I mean, David Johnson might
Speaker 1: not even see any touches. Not only that he popped
Speaker 1: up on the injury report yesterday with a back injury
Speaker 1: to Greg So all those reasons, James Connor is a
Speaker 1: lock for at least twenty five touches in this game.
Speaker 1: I'm using James Conner. Is he overthinking it? Yes? No
Speaker 1: he's not. He's using Connor over David Johnson. Gregg, Easy, dude,
Speaker 1: It's not going up against that Ram's defensive line We're
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half point underdogs, and James Conner is
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he touched the ball thirty
Speaker 1: five times. Again he chiefs defense. I hear you just
Speaker 1: allowed what nine receptions to Melvin Gordon and five? How
Speaker 1: are the receptions to Austin Ekeler starting James Conner. The
Speaker 1: rationale makes sense. I understand it. This is this is
Speaker 1: my Jared Goff first Tom Brady last year where you
Speaker 1: killed me for it and Jared Goff outperformed Tom Brady
Speaker 1: that week. That was like we ten. This is week too.
Speaker 1: David Johnson was your third overall picks. Start your studs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: James Conner is your study. Oh my god, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: And that is the word of the fantasy superhero yours
Speaker 1: and mine. He is faster than a speeding bullet. He
Speaker 1: is smarter than a genius brand. He is the fantasy superhero.
Speaker 1: Franks Apple, great, quick, My fantasy senses are tingling. Answer
Speaker 1: another call, Well they're being activated. Let's go to Ryan
Speaker 1: and Tampa. Hey, guys, how you guys doing right now?
Speaker 1: What's up? Hey? Buddy? So I had a cool question.
Speaker 1: I got some lousy uh wide receiver number two's and
Speaker 1: I'm having trouble deciding who I want to put in.
Speaker 1: So I got Devin Funches playing at Atlanta. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: hoping he has a bounce back week that the fact
Speaker 1: that Greg Olsen's not playing any longer. Um, Or do
Speaker 1: I start Marvin Jones and take a gamble at hand
Speaker 1: planing at San Francisco when Richard Sherman is gonna be
Speaker 1: covering them all day long? Yeah? So we're talking about
Speaker 1: the wide receiver ranks. I think this is a good
Speaker 1: question to bring up. Greg. I actually have Devin Funch's
Speaker 1: ranked inside my top thirty this week. I have him
Speaker 1: as my twenty ninth ranked wide receiver, with Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: a few spots behind him. So, UM, there's a chance
Speaker 1: that Marvin Jones gets Richard Sherman here. Richard Sherman is
Speaker 1: not the cornerback he once was. There's a chance that
Speaker 1: he does get matched up with him. And I think,
Speaker 1: just based on the usage in week one, Based off that, UM,
Speaker 1: I think Kenny Gollady and Golden Tates see more targets
Speaker 1: in this offense. I think Golden Tate for sure is
Speaker 1: you know I told you I think he's a slam
Speaker 1: dunk this week. I think Kenny Gallady and Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: are going to alternate weeks or it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: little bit inconsistent who the number the number two target
Speaker 1: is in that offense. But I'll take Devin funchis who
Speaker 1: I think is going to be the number one target
Speaker 1: outside of Christian McCaffrey this week, even if he sees
Speaker 1: Desmond true fart. Last year when Greg Olsen was out
Speaker 1: of the lineup, Devin funchs his targets and receptions went
Speaker 1: up by like two or three per game, and I
Speaker 1: think that's the case here. I'm going with Den. I'm
Speaker 1: also going with Devin Funches. It's actually not even that hard.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's quite simple. And Frank broke it down, well,
Speaker 1: one guy is going to be the primary receiver in
Speaker 1: his offense, and that's Devin Funches. Like he's the number
Speaker 1: one guy. I think Christian McCaffrey. That's fine, you'll love
Speaker 1: it off to McCaffrey, but you don't have Greg Goldsen
Speaker 1: to go down the field. And then we saw last
Speaker 1: year without Olson, Funches was relentlessly down the field. Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones is one of three Devon Funches isn't go with
Speaker 1: Devon Funches. I appreciate it, guys, thank you, you got it.
Speaker 1: Let's go to rock. Let's go to Phil in Lebrons.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Phil? What's going on? Gus? How you
Speaker 1: doing doing? Great? Man? So this league is half point
Speaker 1: per carry and a half point per catch? So I
Speaker 1: got I got two receivers and I got two running backs.
Speaker 1: I'd like to have the running back at the flex.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to decide between Marshawn Lynch or Eckler
Speaker 1: and then my wide receiver three between Mike Williams and
Speaker 1: Robert Woods. All right, So for me also, I'll go
Speaker 1: with the wide receiver. I'm going to go with Robert
Speaker 1: Woods over Mike Williams. I know, Frank, and I love
Speaker 1: you boy, Mike Williams. I love my boy Robert Woods. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think Robert Woods is still it's still significantly
Speaker 1: more reliable, um than Mike Williams. Just look at the
Speaker 1: targets last week. So I'm gonna go with Robert Woods
Speaker 1: there when comes to the running backs, Um, Lynch, you're Eckler. Listen,
Speaker 1: it might just not be an Eckler game. I mean
Speaker 1: it could be but I know Marshall Lynch is the darter.
Speaker 1: I'm confident in him. Go on, Marshawn Lynch and will
Speaker 1: Robert Woods. That will also go Robert Woods. As much
Speaker 1: as I like Mike Williams, this is a wait and
Speaker 1: see week for me because we saw in the second
Speaker 1: half last week with Tyrolle Williams and Travis Benjamin dropping
Speaker 1: passes all over the place, the Chargers often started to
Speaker 1: implement Mike Williams a lot more in the second half,
Speaker 1: and he was being targeted heavily. He was catching everything.
Speaker 1: He looked spry, he looked explosive, big wide receiver. Without
Speaker 1: being said, he's outside of my top thirty six again,
Speaker 1: just because I want to see him do it one
Speaker 1: more time and again, what I tell you guys to
Speaker 1: do is what I'm doing. I have leagues where I
Speaker 1: have Mike Williams on my team. I currently have Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: I have guys like Nelson Aguilar in my line up
Speaker 1: ahead of him. So again I want to take a
Speaker 1: wait and see approach one more week with him. I
Speaker 1: will take Robert Woods. You know the targets are gonna
Speaker 1: be there. He was, you know eight nine targets. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's him, it's Brandon Cooks, it's Cooper Cup. That's all
Speaker 1: there is in the past game for the Rams, so
Speaker 1: I trust his targets more. The running back call is
Speaker 1: a little bit closer here, Greg, because if the Chargers
Speaker 1: are owing out the Buffalo building this game, who's to
Speaker 1: say that we just don't see a bunch of Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler in the fourth quarter. Marshall, lynn is going up
Speaker 1: against the Denver broncos Man, it's close as a big underdog,
Speaker 1: and I don't have it ranked this way. I'll go
Speaker 1: Auston Ekeler, man, I go Auston Ekeler in that one. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough? I mean you just convince me.
Speaker 1: I gotta change my rankings. Rund Now in PPR overall
Speaker 1: they're much closer, but this half PPR half point per carry,
Speaker 1: so it kind of throws things off a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'll take Austin fight four three six st seven nine. Hey, Frankie,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you what a couple of wide
Speaker 1: receivers um we were asked about Brandon Marshall. How relevant
Speaker 1: is he this week? What number senior rankings? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: both Brandon Marshall and Tyler Lockett are inside my top
Speaker 1: thirty six this week. Um because look, Brandon Marshall was
Speaker 1: the top target teer four the Seahawks last week. They're
Speaker 1: projected to be underdogs in this game against the Bears
Speaker 1: as well. The Bears secondary is solid. I'm not completely
Speaker 1: scared of it. And Brandon Marshall also lead the team
Speaker 1: in reresa targets a week ago with two, So he's
Speaker 1: a top thirty six wide receiver for me. I like
Speaker 1: him a little bit more in standard than I do
Speaker 1: in ppr UM. But yeah, both him and Antie Lockett
Speaker 1: are ranked inside my top three six as low and
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Three something the one pred under the radar
Speaker 1: this week that that we have not mentioned, and I
Speaker 1: was looking at my team and sending my lapups and stuff,
Speaker 1: which Jameson Crowder who did nothing last week. He had
Speaker 1: like three for thirty eight or something like or along
Speaker 1: those last day for thirty two. He did nothing last week.
Speaker 1: I know people were buying right back into Jamison Crowder.
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson dominated a lot of the snaps and a
Speaker 1: lot of the receptions. I think maybe people thought Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder would have are you going back to the well
Speaker 1: with Crowder this week or are you concerned? In PPR,
Speaker 1: I have him as wide receiver thirty six, so just
Speaker 1: barely a low end wide receiver three and standard. If
Speaker 1: you wanted to pivot to a guy like Mike Williams
Speaker 1: or Marvin Jones, if you have players like that, I
Speaker 1: think they have a better chance of getting in the
Speaker 1: end zone this week. But Jamison Crowder, according to Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus, has a great matchup against Kenny Moore, the
Speaker 1: second in the slot against the Indian Napoles close. The
Speaker 1: one thing I worry about with Washington, and I think
Speaker 1: it's becoming more and more clear. Jordan Reed and Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson are just the first two reads in this offense.
Speaker 1: And as much as they said in the preseason and
Speaker 1: during training camp that Alex Smith and Jamison Crowder have
Speaker 1: a connection, there's a chance that it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it in the preseason, we didn't see
Speaker 1: it in Week one. So if you want to get
Speaker 1: away from Jamison Crowder this week, I don't really have
Speaker 1: a problem doing so. I have the Seahawks guys ranked
Speaker 1: ahead of him. A couple of other names I have
Speaker 1: ranked ahead Quincy and Noon, Will, Robert Woods, Kenny Golladay,
Speaker 1: Devin Funcis, Chris Godwin, Nelson agil Or, Kenny Sills, all
Speaker 1: ranked ahead of Jamison Crowder. If you have those other options,
Speaker 1: Greg okay, So there you go. Um, Jamison Crowder not
Speaker 1: exactly a high profile option. Uh. Here for Frankie Staffel. Uh,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be done it for today. On our YouTube

Speaker 1: five minutes to go. It's trying to make some picks
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Who your favorite bets of the week. I
Speaker 1: mentioned some of them yesterday, but I'm gonna roll with
Speaker 1: what I said, and it's some underdogs. I think the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers plus six is the best bet that I
Speaker 1: really like that you're getting the money line at plus
Speaker 1: two ten. I don't think it's crazy to throw them
Speaker 1: out there here as a possibility to win this game
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. Look the Falcons. Look, they lost in
Speaker 1: Week one against the Eagles, but they also lost Kian
Speaker 1: O'Neil and they lost Dion Jones, two guys that are
Speaker 1: glue guys in that defense, in that secondary for the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, So I worry about them being favorites as
Speaker 1: big as they are here. I love Carolina Panthers plus six,
Speaker 1: and if he wanted to throw a few on the
Speaker 1: money line, I like that as well. You're getting them
Speaker 1: at plus two ten. Another one of my best bets
Speaker 1: this week, Greg is the Seattle Seahawks going up against
Speaker 1: the Bears. They're on the road there, three and a
Speaker 1: half point underdogs. You get the money line at plus
Speaker 1: one fifty two. But the Chicago Bears, the defense, the
Speaker 1: front seven, the Khalil Mack, the defensive line, they looked
Speaker 1: absolutely phenomenal. They're gonna cause fits for Russell Wilson. I
Speaker 1: understand that. I just don't think that the offense did
Speaker 1: enough too to give me confidence in them that they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to match Russell Wilson point for
Speaker 1: point in this game. So I think I like this.
Speaker 1: You're getting the Seahawks at plus three and a half.
Speaker 1: That could be a field goal game. I think there's
Speaker 1: a chance at Seattle Seahawks in prime time in Monday
Speaker 1: night march into Chicago and also steal a victory. So
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers are the two
Speaker 1: that I feel pretty strongly about in Week two, Greg
Speaker 1: for me, if I had to give me a thing anyway,
Speaker 1: a third neither. I like the Giants at plus three. Sorry, Corey, Corey,
Speaker 1: just Cory's in the rim rock. His face is like
Speaker 1: perked up when he arned. I would teae, I would
Speaker 1: tease that up to three and a half. I'd feel
Speaker 1: better about it. Right for me, I'm gonna start in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I really like Houston metis two in Tennessee. I don't
Speaker 1: trust the Titans and I'm not buying into them. I
Speaker 1: think Deshelle Watson could go crazy for Houston this week.
Speaker 1: I also really like my favorite bet of the week.
Speaker 1: Quite obviously everybody knows it's about me, the huge Chiefs
Speaker 1: guy like love the Chiefs plus five and a half
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Andy Reid on the road in weeks in
Speaker 1: week two, the Chiefs of You going to Pittsburgh. The
Speaker 1: Chiefs always beat the Steelers with Andy Reid as the
Speaker 1: head coach, and at plus five and a half, I
Speaker 1: love the value there. Um give me Kansas City plus
Speaker 1: five and a half over Pittsburgh for my third bet
Speaker 1: of the week. It's crazy to me. The New Orleans
Speaker 1: is a ten point favorite at home against Cleveland. They
Speaker 1: lost to its half of eight team that is not
Speaker 1: good and I believe not good. Cleveland tied Pittsburgh ten points.
Speaker 1: Is a lot of points that they have to cover.
Speaker 1: Give me Cleveland plus ten and not loving for nothing.
Speaker 1: Moneyline is plus three sixty for the Browns. Are we
Speaker 1: sure that how good the Saints are? Throw a little
Speaker 1: bit on it, man. They say Josh Gordon is gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot more involved in this game. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the wide receiver rankings. I have him ranked at
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty five high end wide receiver three this
Speaker 1: week for me, Greg even if Marshall Latimore is on him.
Speaker 1: Marshall Landimore got burned by Mike Evans last week, and
Speaker 1: we know that Tyrod Taylor is gonna take a few
Speaker 1: shots downfield where he just gives Josh Gordon a chance
Speaker 1: at a fifty fifty ball. So I like that called
Speaker 1: there is it telling that we've made our best bets
Speaker 1: and we haven't even mentioned the Philadelphia Eagle World Series,
Speaker 1: World Series, Super Bowl champions going in against Tampa Bay. Listen,
Speaker 1: three point favorites, and the reason is it's it's on
Speaker 1: the road. It's still the backup quarterback of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and there's not as many people that are disrespecting the
Speaker 1: Eagles anymore. I know the spread. The spread is changing
Speaker 1: three three point favorites, though they are favorites on the road,
Speaker 1: that at six point favorites at home. Given how many
Speaker 1: points of books put up last week, I think the
Speaker 1: spread is fair. I think it's fair. You know what
Speaker 1: I like right now? Greg, there's a lot of money
Speaker 1: coming in on the Miami Dolphins. The Jets have been
Speaker 1: dropped to two and a half. So if you think
Speaker 1: that's a field goal game and you have faith in
Speaker 1: the Jets, which I understand a lot of people are
Speaker 1: calling this a trap game. It's a divisional matchup. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins always do play the Jets close, but you're now
Speaker 1: getting a Matt two and a half. You think the
Speaker 1: Jets win by a field goal, not a bad one.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna over to the medalizes after room? If
Speaker 1: I depends what time I get out of here. To
Speaker 1: be honest, fair enough, that's gonna do it for us.
Speaker 1: Good luck in week two in with your bets and
Speaker 1: of course DFS and obviously Fantasy football, Fantasy People Frenzy.
Speaker 1: He's up next with Corey, Chris and Jim for Frankie
Speaker 1: standfle My name is Greg Susman. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for watching and listening to the Fantasy best Friends Forever.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all again on Monday, we hope.
