1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: It's fantasy football season and this is the place to be.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: They don't face a lot of good offenses. I think

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: they're worth starting every week. He's just not a very

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: good runner. Their second half schedule is phenomenal. What serious

Speaker 1: Zone channel eight thirty to ten am the Pacific time,

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that is eleven thirty to one Eastern time. We are

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: writing the lightning, as many owners are. I kind of

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: feel like we are writing the lightning. Is that not

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: one of the coolest guitar riffs. Ever, that's as it's

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old Kirk Hammett right there. You talk

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: about somebody, you though, abo someone who would go first

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: in any in any guitar hero draft, kerk Hamt goes

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: in the top three, no doubt about it. I mean

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: it's not ain't talking about love by Van Halen, but

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's up there. We're not showing our age

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: like Elliot Harrison, but speaking of writing the lightning because

28
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: plenty of owners now are doing that with guys like

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, Arian Foster breaking news now involving Ryan Grant

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: will get to in a second, but first Michael Vick

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: from today guys. He says, he tweets I'm gonna play

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: chance of me playing Andy Reid Hedges bets a little

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: bit earlier today by saying, well, I'm gonna monitor Michael Vick.

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: I gonna take a look at him and see how

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: things go. You know, we got into this off the

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: top of the show, and I know we're on up

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: us its side to this, but I think going forward

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: with with this kind of injury and Jason luck and

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: for NFL analyst inside of for NFL Network joined us

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: last hour, I said, Look, the big thing is, yeah,

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Michael Vick is gonna start, He's gonna play. But the

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: big thing, and this is why I hedge my bet

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and I go someplace seals fabs other than Michael Vick,

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: is because I don't know that he's gonna make it

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: through four quarters. I'd rather have four quarters of Rex

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Grossman than maybe a quarter and a half or two

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: and a half quarters of Michael Vick and he and

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: again I I you know, I really like to go

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: with my studs if Vick is playing, unless I have

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Stafford or something like that, I'm gonna play Michael Vick um.

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman has been good. Not last week against the Cowboys,

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: but for the most part as a starting quarterback in

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins, he's been good. I mean, Mark Sanchez

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: is another guy. You know, Jason, I know you're big

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: on Sanchez, and I'm definitely starting to turn the corner

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: on him because I think the Jets are becoming a

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: passing team. I want to see maybe one more week,

58
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: especially this week against the Ravens, great litmus test for

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez in terms of his fantasy value. But it

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Vick's out there and I don't have another guy on

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: my roster that is on his level from a fantasy perspective,

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: especially when the matchup is as good as it is

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'm playing Michael Vick. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. I'm not a doctor. I can't predict

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: the future when it comes to injuries. I'm sticking with him.

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: So you wouldn't take the Grossman versus the Rams risk, No,

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: because I have that option in one of my leagues actually,

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: and I'm playing Vic. Ye. I think in all of

69
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: your leagues, you have like two hundred leagues, you have

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: every quarterback in the NFL. No, you know what. I

71
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: have Ben Roethlisberger in a lot of leagues. I have Grossmen,

72
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: I have Vic. I've got Newton in one of my leagues.

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: So I do have some juggling to do with the

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: quarterback position. To be quite honest with you, though, the

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: one team that I don't juggle a quarterback is the

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: one that has Michael Vick. I I look at the

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Eagles this way. When you take a look at Sunday

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: now from a football standpoint affecting fantasy, Lashawn McCoy is

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: having a phenomenal season. Right. He's been the best running

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: back in fantasy football so far. He's been incredible. If

81
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: you're bringing Michael Vick back, Are you gonna bring Michael

82
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Vick back and you're gonna want him to go out

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: and be a hunter percent of what he is? You're

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: bringing them back early because you have to, because you're

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: one and two and suddenly the super Bowler bust Minami

86
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: heat season could be going down the tubes of the

87
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphi Eagles. You gotta win this week. So I think

88
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: they're bringing Vick back a little bit too early. I

89
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: think knowing that, I think you're gonna see a little

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: bit more reliance on the running game this week. It's

91
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: a good matchup for the Eagles, good matchup for Lasharan McCoy.

92
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can put Michael Vick out

93
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: there and expect to see, Hey, he's gonna throw for

94
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: two seventy five three touchdowns and run for a hundred

95
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: in a touch and I think you're gonna see diminished

96
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: values from there. That's why I think Elliott, you can

97
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: go with another guy. You go a Grossman on any

98
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: or a Sanchez, a guy like that, and get that

99
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: kind of production. Well, not to mention, you know, you

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that they're rolling them out there

101
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: because they're one and two. Well, keep in minding the

102
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: forty niners are a conference game, and that may not

103
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: mean a you know, a lot to some people, but

104
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: those conference games mean a lot when it comes wild

105
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: card time. And right now, everyone who just gift wrapped

106
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles the NFC East title now they're reconsidering. And

107
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: one other thought, I've seen all of Michael Fabiano's fantasy teams.

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: He does, in fact have about two hundred and twelve.

109
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I isolated one player that he doesn't have on on

110
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: his fantasy teams, Mark Marianni. It's the only guy in

111
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: pro football that he does not have on a fantasy

112
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking of picking him up. Of course, Eagles

113
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: we Michael Vick. We still he sounds like to be

114
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: like a game time decision for him, so we'll know

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: more on him. You gotta keep checking back during the week,

116
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: of course NFL dot com for all your needs there.

117
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: But Jeremy maclan is also somebody who it sounds like

118
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be a game time decision to the hamstrings.

119
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Tricky fabs. This is one of those yes, I think

120
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, you play him. But boy, you're not

121
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna know that till the last minute. Yeah, boy, are

122
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: we just sick of hamstring and growing injuries? Guys, as

123
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: fantasy owners, are we sick and tired of these things

124
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: because they are an absolute headache from a fantasy perspective. Again,

125
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: if Macklean's active, I'm playing him. If Arrian Foster is active,

126
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's my flex starter this week. I don't have

127
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Arian Foster luckily in any of my leagues. But these

128
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: are concerns that fantasy owners become sort of head coaches.

129
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: It becomes reality because we don't know what sort of

130
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: an effect the hamstrings and groins are gonna have on

131
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: a player. We don't know if a guy is gonna

132
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: last four quarters. Jeremy macn come out and put up

133
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: a hundred twenty yards and a touchdown on the Niners

134
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: because they can't stop the past to save their lives.

135
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: You could also reaggravate that injury in the third quarter

136
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: and miss time, So you're rolling the dice either way.

137
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: Oh and and now you're getting to do a little

138
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: bit of historical context with the way that teams look

139
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: at injury reports. If the forty Niners look at MacLean

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: as as a limited guy, then they're gonna be rolling

141
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: their safety over to Shawan Jackson's side, and that means

142
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: maclan is gonna be one on one. If macklean's one

143
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: on one, he can beat most single coverage in the

144
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: NFL period now an NFL Fantasy Live earlier today, we

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: talked about what could be some alternatives for Jeremy Maclin

146
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league. Obviously, you're gonna kind of

147
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: be picked clean the waiver wire. That's kind of happens

148
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: that way. A guy I kind of like a little

149
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: bit more because we talked about teams that are evolving

150
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: to to a past first team. I like Devon Bess

151
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. You know, the last couple of years,

152
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: he and Henny have had a pretty good chemistry and

153
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: he got a ton of targets last week, got a

154
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: couple in the red zone. I know it's kind of

155
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: if you're desk it, But if Maclen does wind up

156
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: being a no go, I think best might be the

157
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: best of the guys out there, because other guys out

158
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: there in a twelve team league gonna be guys like

159
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: Andre Caldwell and I don't know if those are guys

160
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to pick up and putting your lineup.

161
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of slim pickings. Put a ten team league, Elliott.

162
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys out there, you bet. I mean, listen,

163
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: if you're at home, you got your laptop out. See

164
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: if Jordy Nelson's sitting there, See if Lance Moore is

165
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: sitting there. Yeah, I mean why not? I mean, yeah?

166
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Are they? Are they all league? Get these guys, hey,

167
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Ny Washington, maybe sitting there now. Granted, granted they're probably

168
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: owned in half the league's but there's a good chance

169
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: that all three of those guys aren't owned. So if

170
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: one of those three dudes are sitting there, pick him up,

171
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: Pick him up. Let's get to Ryan Grant and Fabbs.

172
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: You had a bit of breaking news earlier in the

173
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: show as far as the running back by Committee goes

174
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. We thought, all right, Ryan Grant's gonna

175
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: wind up being the guy ninety two yards rushing. Last week,

176
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said, we'd have to get the ball in

177
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: his hands more. Maybe they wanted to wait a couple

178
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: of weeks to see how he comes back from injury.

179
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: But now that Bruce Kidney suffered on Sunday, it's gonna

180
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: be a big change now in the backfield. And could

181
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: this be the start of the James Starks era in

182
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay in terms of being more of a featured back.

183
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Grant likely not to play this week, Mike McCarthy said

184
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: so much because of that Bruce Kidney. Now it's funny

185
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: because McCarthy actually had said earlier that we want to

186
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: get Grant more involved in the offense, getting more touches.

187
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: He gets better when he has more carry as well. Now,

188
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: this Bruce Kisney is an issue. James Starks against the

189
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: Broncos this week at lambeau Field. I really like this

190
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: matchup quite a bit for Starks. Fantastic flex start a

191
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: guy that I traded to you in this controversial deal

192
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,119
Speaker 1: which is not controversial in my eyes by the way,

193
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Um Harrison, but he he is going to be active

194
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: on your roster as a flex guy this week, no

195
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Michael Fabiana, I made a train in

196
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: our expert League that involved me getting both Ryan and

197
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: both Ryan Grant and James Starks. I have that and

198
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison didn't like that deal. But as far as

199
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant James Starks, I think now I think James Starks,

200
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I think he's he. I would go as far to

201
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: say this week he is a really strong number two

202
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: running back play just because of the potential for points

203
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: Green Day is gonna have. And at the end of

204
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's just shame to say that anytime

205
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: you're dealing with running back by committee, when one guy

206
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt, it's good for fantasy owners because they know

207
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: they can roll with the other guy. That's the long

208
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: and the short of it. And you know, the problem

209
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: is there's just too many Starks and Ryan Grant situations

210
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: in the league right now, and it's really hard. And

211
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: then when you have a bona fide lead back like

212
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: a Jamal Charles or Arian Foster get hurt early on guys,

213
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the number of lead backs that you can count on

214
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: week and then you get said Benson getting in trouble

215
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: who a lot of people prior starting in a flex.

216
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: You know, then you have another guy who's a clear

217
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: lead back like Marshawn Lynch that plays for such an

218
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: awful team that you wouldn't start him with Fabriano's team

219
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: in eight nine six three to six eight two. That's

220
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: eight XM Fantasy will help you set your starting lineups.

221
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Adam in New Jersey. You're on NFL Fantasy Live with

222
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Jason Michael Elliot. What he got? I have a line

223
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: up question, Um, I have Halo, Ben k and Kendalla

224
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: Hunter on one of the three for this week. I

225
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: think you know I love Kendel Hunter. I talked earlier

226
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: this this show. I think Kendall Hunter is gonna wind

227
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: up being the guy's gonna take the job from Frank

228
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: Gore who has been injured and awful the first three weeks.

229
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: But you know, getting the news we got from Jason

230
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Luckin for NFL Network inside our last hour where he

231
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: told us even though Arian Foster is going to play,

232
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Ben Tate's gonna wind up seeing a lot of carries

233
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and as the game goes on, it's gonna be more

234
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: bent Tate. This goes converse to what we thought an

235
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: hour ago was gonna be Arian Foster and they me

236
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of Bent Tate. Now. I think out

237
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: of out of those three this week, I think bent

238
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Tate's best play. I'll tell you again, the hamstring injury

239
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: comes to doom fantasy owners right, because you don't know

240
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: what to do uh out of that trio. You have

241
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: to really wait till game time to see what happens

242
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: with Frank Gore. Because hello, although he didn't see a

243
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: ton of touches against the Cowboys, he was in the

244
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: second hat. He's got a good matchup, you know, against

245
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: the Rams, So I think Hunter right now, I'd say Hunter,

246
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: But if Gore is in there and playing, I think

247
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: who is the better play well? And that's where watching

248
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: games can really help you fantasy wise, because Hallu was

249
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: in that game a lot. Yes he didn't get a

250
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: lot of touches, but he was on the field. And

251
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe what maybe the answer here is you

252
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: hope that High Tower stubs his toe like on the

253
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: stadium steps right before the game, so that you know

254
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: who your primary back is gonna be. And by the way,

255
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: how sad is it when we're advising a caller to

256
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: start Bentate against the Steelers front seven? Those aren't great

257
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: choices right there? No, it's not. And you know me,

258
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a big High Tower guy. You know. When

259
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: you go back to your point about about Tim High Tower,

260
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: I think you know he's having an okay season, but

261
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of running backs for having great seasons.

262
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: But you can't say, okay, you're still playing well. You

263
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: guy doesn't have a hundred yard game. The the one

264
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: great game he had, they couldn't give him the ball

265
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: in the second half because he was tired. I think

266
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: High Tower is a little overrated. And I don't know

267
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: that you're gonna say going forward, Now, he's gonna get

268
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: all that stamina back and he's gonna run the ball

269
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: times a game. I think Hallu is gonna get in,

270
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna get some of those carries. Look, they like him,

271
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: they like him. Coming to realize, High Towers eleventh and

272
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy points at running back right now. But with eleventh.

273
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: But but that's because fantasy running backs this year, outside

274
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: of the top five, you fall off a cliff. There's

275
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: only what I think it's five guys in the NFL

276
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: running back wise with more than two touchdowns through three weeks.

277
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: That hardly ever happens. That's more of the the valuing

278
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: of the running back. I mean, yeah, it looks good

279
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: to say that, but it's kind of like saying I'm

280
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: the most powerful army in Rhode Island. Hey, I agree

281
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: with Rhode Island by the way. Actually, there are plenty

282
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: of times I agree with both of you. I think

283
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: I think High Tower. To Fab's point, look, if the

284
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: guys ranked high and he's putting up more fantasy points,

285
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: who cares what the competition is. He's putting up more

286
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: fantasy for his musicians at his position. You gotta roll

287
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: with that. On the other hand, to your point, the

288
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: idea of Tim high Tower as the carry on five

289
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: yard and a touchdown guy, you have to prove it.

290
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: It's really great in preseason to say, hey, we're gonna

291
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: roll with this guy. He's gonna be on the field

292
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: of the time. He's gonna get this mini carries. There

293
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: have only been a few people in the league at

294
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: one time that are able to have that kind of workload.

295
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: That's why there are only seven or eight workhorse backs

296
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, because not everyone has the body or

297
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the disposition to be able to carry the ball out.

298
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Who said that high Tower was carry guy? Nobody did?

299
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Nobody did. I mean, he is what he is. He's

300
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna catch four or five passes out of the backfield,

301
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: He'll get maybe fifteen eighteen carries the game. No One said,

302
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: he's a twenty five carry guy, but what he does

303
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: is produced fantasy points and we're seeing that in the

304
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: first three weeks. Great fitting the zone blocking scheme for

305
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, and again the running back position is down

306
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: so far heading into week four. But he you don't

307
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: need to carry the ball twenty five times a game.

308
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: We're not talking about Earl Campbell. We're not talking about

309
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: kind of have to do that. But there are a

310
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of people, after they saw his preseason performance against

311
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Colts, that thought he was gonna

312
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: be a twelve or thirteen hundred yard back and get

313
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: three hundred carries. And when I was that was misguided. Yeah,

314
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: we we had you know, an NFL and it's Bucky

315
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Brooks on NFL Fantasy Live and he said that he

316
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: thought High Tower was gonna get fifty yards rushing. So

317
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I agree with you. You don't let's Lashawn McCoy is

318
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: never gonna get thirty carries in the game, and he's

319
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: a beast. I'm just saying that the preseason expectations for

320
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: High Tower were a little misguided. Yeah, I think we

321
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: got everybody got talked into Hey, look at this Hey,

322
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: it's Tim Hightower Redskins offense. When meanwhile, it's just gonna

323
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: be a case of well, they're gonna wind up splitting

324
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: carries in an eight nine to six A two. That's

325
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: eight x M fantasy. Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Elliot Harrison here,

326
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Brian in Virginia. You're on NFL Fantasy Live. Hey, guys,

327
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: and how at a you? I got a trade question? Um,

328
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: I am um a little finnant running back. It's a

329
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: ten team, uh league, I've got um Ahmad Bradshaw, Danny

330
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Thomas will get up born and Joseph and Died. My

331
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: quarterback uh is Annon Rodgers. Someone's offered me Philip Rivers

332
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: and Michael Turner for Aaron Rodgers. And one. Now, my

333
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: my wide receivers are pretty good Roddy White, that Bryant

334
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshal, and we were to flex where I can

335
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: put a quarterback in there too, And I've got Plateau

336
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: into Patrick. So what do you guys think? I say, no, yeah,

337
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I think you're just making that deal. That's a deal

338
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: to make a deal. You know, I don't know how

339
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: that really helps you, especially if you can put a

340
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: quarterback into a flex yacht. Yeah, it would be great

341
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: to get, you know, if you can have team up

342
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Rivers and Rodgers, But if you have Ryan Fitzpatrick, I

343
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: mean I don't want Well, No, wouldn't he be losing

344
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: Rogers in the deal to get to get Rivers in

345
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: and Turner. No, I'm not trading Aaron Rodgers. And Michael

346
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: Turner is a good running back. He's not yards and

347
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns like it was a few years ago. So

348
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm not trading Aaron rock getting off to a slow start.

349
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean Michael Turner. They gotta get him going. I

350
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: mean for fantasy owners in in real world application. My

351
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: Michael Turner is one of those bell cow backs that

352
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, except he's not producing, you know well.

353
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: And the thing is what gets me from from a

354
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: football reality to a fantasy reality is the Falcons are

355
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: not fan seri reality from a fantasy like I just

356
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: made that a patent pending, patent pending pat is that

357
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons are not as good as we thought they were.

358
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: They're not as good as they thought they were. They're

359
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the football more. We've seen diminished

360
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: numbers from Michael Turner so far. Number One, he's an

361
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: older back, and when you get towards during the bigger

362
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: backs breakdown, they want to save wear and tearing him.

363
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: So he's not going to carry the ball thirty times

364
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: a game. But also they're gonna have to throw the

365
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: football war which means less numbers. For Michael Turning is

366
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: not gonna catch passes out of the backfield. I'm kind

367
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: of wary of Michael take blunt going forward. And I

368
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: want to give you a little stat here. I love

369
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the stats clearly, um Darren McFadden, Shawn McCoy, Fred Jackson,

370
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: Ray Rice Uh, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, job at Best,

371
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Marie Jones, Drew mod Bradshaw, Tim high Tower. All these

372
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: guys catch the ball in the backfield. Those are all

373
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: running backs that in your top eleven fantasy points right

374
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: now in NFL dot Com. Darren Sprowles is in the

375
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: top fifteen ahead of Michael Turner. Not because he's this

376
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: great running back. He's got fifty nine yards rushing, he's

377
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: got a hundred and sixty eight receiving and two touchdowns.

378
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: So we're talking about the running back position evolving, right

379
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: These these guys like you know, the Earl Campbell types

380
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: as much as I missed them. I miss having Barry

381
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Sanders and Emmett Smith and UH studs like that. The

382
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: evolution of the running back position. Guys that catch the

383
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield and can also run the

384
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: football and have good field vision. And I think that's

385
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: important too. We saw that against the with Felix Jones,

386
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: that one play against the Redskins where the whole left

387
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: side of the field was wide open for him to

388
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: run for a touchdown. He went inside and got tackled.

389
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: There are a lot of there are a lot of

390
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: dynamic sort of characteristics that running backs need to have

391
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: to succeed in the National Football League. A lot of

392
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: these guys have it running the football, being able to

393
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield. UH and Michael

394
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: Turner is sort of becoming that that sort of dynosaur

395
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: on his story. And we talked about fantasy weirdness the

396
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: other day FABS, and it's very feasible that Matt Forte

397
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: could have seven and eighty five yards rushing and one

398
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: thousand ninety yards receiving with ten touchdowns total. That could

399
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: be his stat line this year. Eighty eight nine six

400
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: three to six A two, eight and eight XM Fantasy

Speaker 1: for White Lion is from my hometown. Stat Man, I

425
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: actually have a question for both of you. What was

426
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: more surprising that White Lion ever had a hit or

427
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: that Brandon Jacobs scored up forty yard touchdown receiving last week. Jacobs, Yeah,

428
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: once you heard Wait, you knew that was going to

429
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: be a hit. Brenda Jacobs, I'm watching it saying, is

430
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: this happening? Is this? This is not a replay from

431
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: a previous game. Now, this is actually hap Harrison has

432
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: when the children cry on his iPad. I know that

433
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,919

00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of starts and said to Michael Fabiano every

438

Speaker 1: His big sits get to the six later on, but

440
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: give me some starts. Quarterback, running back, wide receiver, you're

441
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: like this week, love Eli Manning. Uh was very surprised

442
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: that he had such a great game last week with

443
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: all of his wide receivers banged up, saying, you know,

444
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: Key Nicks great match up against the Cardinals. They've allowed

445
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: the seventh most fantasy points to quarterbacks. I like Matt

446
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: schob And you know, people see the Steelers and this

447
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: is not the same Steelers defense they've faced in two

448
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: of their three games. Tabars Jackson, Carry Collins and Lance Painter. Uh,

449
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: And I think Joe Flacco was I said it again.

450
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I keep saying later that's how bad Curtis Painter is

451
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: because I keep calling him Lance pain little child, dry

452
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: crying out. That's it. Flacco lit up the Steelers for

453
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: almost twenty one fantasy points in Week one. I also

454
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: like Rex Grossman going against the Rams, despite the fact

455
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: that he struggled last week. The Rams very bad against

456
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: the past this season at the running back position. That's

457
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: Freddy Jackson. Ride him while he's hot against the Bengals.

458
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: I like High Tower against the Rams. Uh, Cedric Benson,

459
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: now we know he's gonna play great match up against

460
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. James Starks is a good sleeper against Denver

461
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: Broncos at wide receiver. If you have a Keem Knicks

462
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and Deshan Jackson and Santonio Holmes and you're freaking out

463
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: because they haven't done well, uh this season or they've

464
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: been in consistent, I wouldn't I play these guys. Nicks

465
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: has got a great match up against the Cards, Jackson

466
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: against the forty niners, Holmes against the Ravens guys. And

467
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this. You know, the squeaky wheel gets the

468
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: get you know, gets the grease. So uh, he was

469
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: not real happy that he was only targeted a few

470
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: times last week. And I think the Jets, who have

471
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: thrown the ball sixty of the time and run it

472
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the time, I think Santonio Holmes

473
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: gets in the MIXEDU. So you don't you don't think

474
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: the Derek Mason revenge Bowl, I do not. I do not.

475
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: I would actually be more worried about the Ravens defense

476
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: being fired up to play the world coach. I'm more

477
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: worried about Dustin Keller if I owned Santonio Holmes and

478
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Plasco burst because Dustin Keller is becoming Mark Sanchez's go

479
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: to guy. He's becoming that number one guy. Nail Let's

480
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: look Sanchez through for three sixty last week and only

481
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: had two completions to Santonio Holmes. He spreading the ball around. Yes,

482
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: LT caught the ball to the backfield more last week,

483
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: but that's the guy I worry about. Your Keller is

484
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: becoming a top five fantasy tight end, a guy that

485
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: went from undrafted to now here, probably one of the

486
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: deepest positions in the NFL. That was a joke about

487
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: Derek Mason. I should roll that out now. It was

488
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: poor humor, But I mean, Derek Mason has no fantasy

489
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: value to me this week. But I'm curious what you

490
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: guys think about Ed Dixon versus Keller, because I do

491
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: think that that's a tougher choice that I mean. I

492
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: agree with you on Keller, but I think Dixon versus Keller, No,

493
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: Keller has been so good you definitely take Keller se

494
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: a matchup guy if I have, If I have a

495
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: tight end that's injured five Antonio Gates, if I have

496
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: a guy I don't like the matchup on because the

497
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: Jets have trouble covering tight end see Witten Comma Jason

498
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: week one. That's where I'm going. Keller, Dustin Keller is

499
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a. He's a And I know

500
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: you follow the Jets very closely. And that's exactly where

501
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I was going with that is Jason Witten killed the

502
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Jets in Week one, and Ed Dixon I think he

503
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: I think this is a good matchup for him to

504
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: six m Fantasy. We'll get to Michael Fabiano's Big six

505
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: coming up later on in the show. Right now, Charles

506
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: in Arizona, you're a NFL Fantasy Live. What do you got? Hey?

507
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: What's up? Guys need a little help? I got two

508
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: trade offers. Um, Like, I'm in a tin team non PPR,

509
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering if I'm training and trading are

510
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: this is actually gonna upgrade my running back corps? Uh?

511
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: The first trade offer is uh Fred Jackson for Steve Johnson,

512
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: which I asked Steve Johnson. The other three wide receivers

513
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: I have is v Jackson, Andre Johnson, and Nate Washington. Uh.

514
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: My running back corps, Well, I'm trying to improve is

515
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Blanche Matthews d Thomas And well, I'm kind of freaking

516
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: out because I'm owing three and you know, it's just

517
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: a matter of bad luck so far. So what do

518
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: you think about that trade? First of all, I'll take

519
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: your answers on the phone since I don't have radio. Well,

520
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: you know what, getting Fred Jackson for Steve Johnson makes

521
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot of sense. You're starting

522
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: three wide receivers or two every week, starting two and

523
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: two to ye. In that case, I make the I

524
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: make the trade because you have a j and you

525
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: have Vincent Jackson that you can start a weekend and

526
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: week out outside of bias clearly, then you have Fred

527
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: Jackson who comes in he'll be your number one running

528
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: back and you play the matchups with the rest of

529
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: those guys. I like the deal. You stole my question.

530
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to know if he could start three receivers

531
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: or not, if you're not forced to start Nate Washington.

532
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the deal that you make. I think

533
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson is a guy who I don't I don't

534
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: know that he's what number five running back and the

535
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: most valuable guy when you talk about most valuable guys,

536
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: not points top to bottom, but he's in the top

537
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: five most valuable Fantasy right now. He is third and

538
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy points only behind McFadden and Lashawn McCoy. That is unreal.

539
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: And we mentioned on NFL Fantasy Live today that he's

540
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: averaging six four per carry in fourteen yards per catch.

541
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's getting chunk plays. I don't know

542
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be able to keep it up, but

543
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: you gotta love Fred Jackson right now, and he's playing

544
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: for a contract. Alright, Let's go to Andrew and New Jersey,

545
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: who I believe has the no brainer trade offer of

546
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the week. Andrew, go ahead, Uh well it's not actually

547
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: uh in Stone, but if I can get it, I'm

548
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: just the real thing is because I'm giving up Jimmy Graham,

549
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: I have Witt and so I don't care about the

550
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: tight end position and Tilbert and he may want another

551
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 1: running back, but he's offering me either Andre or Calvin Johnson,

552
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: and I have Shop as a quarterback, so I'm wondering

553
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: if I should go with Andre or or Calvin. So

554
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: so someone's gonna trade you Andre or Calvin Johnson for

555
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: a combination or possibly me Graham and Mike Tilbert. I

556
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: can't believe you haven't called this guy back and said,

557
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: uh yeah, let's put it through. Let me give you

558
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: some advice, my friend, get off the phone and hit

559
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: except in that league. Even if I have to give

560
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: up a third decent running back at like like, even

561
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: if I have to give up m J D or

562
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: a mod Bradchul, we'll see, then that makes it a

563
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: little bit more interesting. See, if you're talking about Mike Tilbert,

564
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. Um what is your depth at

565
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: running back? Well? I have I have m J D

566
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: and my Bradshaw Tolbert and um la Damien Thomlinson. So

567
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really too good excep. I I get those two,

568
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: and then I have a flex play for a running

569
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: back wide receiver. And your wide receivers look like what.

570
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: Um My wide receivers are Roddy White, Mike Williams, and

571
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. I was also wondering if I should play

572
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: a J Green this week, but that's a different story.

573
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah you got you gotta upgrade, you gotta, you gotta

574
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: do the beyond. Let me let me upgrade. Ye gread,

575
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: you gotta do that upgrade. Just the second part of

576
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: that scenario, though, the either Andre or Calvin Johnson, I

577
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: would say, Calvin Johnson, what say you, Michael, He's going

578
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: to be the biggest You have the most touchdowns and

579
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: fantasy this year, and I flip a coin, flip, but

580
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: I'll go Andre Johnson. Flip a coin. These guys are

581
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: are basically interchangeable parts. I think I'd probably go Andre

582
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: only because matt Shot was a little bit more durable

583
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: than Matthew Stafford. But you can't go wrong with either

584
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: one of these guys. I mean, right now, Calvin uh

585
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: is the second leading Fantasy point producer right now at

586
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: wide receiver with fifty eight points. Honre Johnson uh is

587
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: in the low forties. But a J is a J

588
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: if we're talking short term here, I trust Calvin Johnson

589
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: more than Andre this weekend because Calvin Johnson's going up

590
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: against those Dallas dvs that for the most part of

591
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: struggled mightily this year. I go I go with Calvin

592
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: simply because I think the Lions, you know, we're gonna

593
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: throw the football more, They're gonna be more predicated. I'm

594
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: throwing where the Texans are kind of coming back more

595
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: towards a balance now being able to run the football

596
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: successfully as they have. So, like I said, flip a coin,

597
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: but I like Calvin Johnson a little bit more. In

598
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: at eight three to six A two eight and eight

599
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: XM Fantasy Kurtain, Connecticut. You're on NFL Fantasy Live with Jason,

600
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: Michael and Elliott. What you got, hey, guys, I wanted

601
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: to do your opinion on a real bad trade that

602
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: went down this past weekend. It was about an hour

603
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: before kickoff. The commissioner of our league, who's killing everybody

604
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: with a fantastic team, calls up a buddy is in

605
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: the league and then says he's desperate for a flex player,

606
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and so his buddy in the league trades him Shawn

607
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: Green for Danny Amendola. Yeah, there's a little collusion going

608
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: on there. I mean, number one rule as commissioner, and

609
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a long time, you do

610
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: not make a trade for a guy who's hurt and

611
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: you don't know when he's coming back. I mean, you

612
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: just can't do that. I mean it's a different situation

613
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: with an Arian Foster because you know he's a big

614
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: name guy. Uh So I think you can try to

615
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: buy low on him. But when you're trading Sean Green,

616
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: who's healthy for that, that's very fish that. Harrison is fishy.

617
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: And a Mendola has been listed as doubtful or had

618
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: been listed as doubtful he had a dislocated elbow. Okay, uh, yeah,

619
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: that is beyond Yeah. I would, I would mutiny if

620
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: I were you, my friend. Yeah, the whole Seawan Green thing.

621
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: We've been together for twenty four years and this guy

622
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: is the first year's commissioner. We rotated and we've never

623
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: had anything close to this, and I absolutely flipped down,

624
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: and I was so upset about it, you know. I mean,

625
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: even if even if it was Shawn Green for like

626
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: Eric Decker, Shawn Green for David Nelson, or Shawn Green

627
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: for Nate Washington. Okay, I can let that go, but

628
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Dave Danny amcdul is hurt. If it was Sean Green

629
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, I would make the deal. But yeah,

630
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: I I make a phone call on that NFL Fantasy

631
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Live on Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio, Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano,

632
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison from the NFL Network, NFL dot Com eight

633
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: nine six three to six A two will continue to

634
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: help you set your lineups. Coming up next, Michael Fabiana

635
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: will give you some of his big sits for this

636
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: week as Sirius XM Fantasy Sports radio content work now.

637
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: Earlier in the show, Fabs, we got through your big

638
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: starts for this week. Guys, you like putting your lineup

639
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: some sits you have, You're gonna kick things off where

640
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: sitting Joe Flacco. I don't like the match up. He's

641
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: alternated good and bad performances. Last week he was phenomenal

642
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: and normally he's better at home. But the Jets have

643
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season at

644
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: at under eight fantasy points a game, which is ridiculous.

645
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: And I like Great Rice more than I like Joe

646
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: Flacco in this contest because the Jet showed last week

647
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: they can't stop the run very effectively. I also don't

648
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: like Josh Freeman against the Colts. They have really not

649
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 1: been a terrible defense against the past this season. Uh

650
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: they've allowed the six views fantasy points to quarterbacks. I

651
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: also don't like Tony Romo. Listen, guys, I said said

652
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Romo last week, and he was bad and fantasy maybe

653
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: good and gritty on the field, but bad and fantasy.

654
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: The Lions have a ridiculously aggressive pass rush and I'm afraid,

655
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Costa can't even snapped the darn ball at

656
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the right time. I'm worried about the offensive line protecting

657
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Miles Austin still not out there, so

658
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I think Tony Romo is a risk. I'm also continuing

659
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: to bench D'Angelo Williams, continuing to bench No. Sean Marino

660
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. Not a big fan of Shawn Green

661
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: this week against the Ravens either. That Ravens defense very

662
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: good against the run at wide receiver, and Kwanton Boldin

663
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be on revious island. You want to put

664
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: him on your bench. Mike Williams is in the midst

665
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: of a sophomore slump, which I talked about in the preseason.

666
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: I was worried about him. Uh and you know what,

667
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: there's a deceiving stat out there. The Packers have been

668
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: really bad against the past this year, really bad against

669
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and wide receivers. I still don't like Brandon Lloyd.

670
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: This week, Tremont Williams is back. They still have a

671
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: very good secondary and the fact of the matter is

672
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: that Don Cabrige is one of the best defensive minds

673
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and he's gonna make some adjustments.

674
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: And Brandon Lloyd, he was great last year under a

675
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: past laiden offense with Josh McDaniels. So far this year

676
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: not so good, and I'm worried about him against the Pack,

677
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: especially on the road. Well, a couple of things there,

678
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Lloyd. I wonder how much of that is They're growing? Uh,

679
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he can play, but how effective is

680
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: he growing? Injuries don't just go away. Just because the

681
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: guy is playing doesn't mean he's playing a hundred percent.

682
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: So I wonder how much of a factor that is there.

683
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: You reference Tony Romo. I don't like anyone on the

684
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense right now. Yes, Felix Jones ended up having

685
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: a good game, but he misses a lot of holes.

686
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: He's still playing hurt and right now those guys don't

687
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: know where to line up. If you have anyone on

688
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I think you consider sitting him. I would

689
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: say the safest bet on the Cowboys is probably Witten

690
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: at tight end. So in your fantasy lea, do you

691
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: get points for bad snaps. No, okay, because you'd be

692
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: winning the league if you have Tony Romo, you get

693
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: points there. Good point. See. I like Romo a little

694
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: bit more just because, Yes, from a fantasy standpoint. Last

695
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: week he didn't have a big week, but he came

696
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: back and he proved he played the whole game, he

697
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: was healthy, he led a team on the game winning drive.

698
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of points this week Detroit

699
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: and Dallas is gonna be a lot of points. Felix

700
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna run for hundred fifteen yards again if

701
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: you don't think so, not on that front. For Tony

702
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Romo is a guy that's gonna if if he's got

703
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: another week to get healthy. I think he gets outside.

704
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: I think he makes plays outside. I'm okay with starting

705
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: Tony Romo this week. I'm not gonna shot last week

706
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: shy away from yet, but this week I'm not. I

707
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: don't have to shy away from. Like, but you don't.

708
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: You don't worry about Detroit's front four against that Dallas line.

709
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: And all it takes is one shot on Romo, one

710
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: clean shot, And to use the VIC logic, we're not guaranteed,

711
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: don't play the whole game. No, but if Tony Rommo

712
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: was more of a drop back passer, I'd be worried.

713
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: But he can get out of trouble and he knows

714
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: how to move around and make plays on the and

715
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: make plays on look. That's throw on the run at

716
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: Des Bryant last week was awesome. That's only Colt Lacoise

717
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: throw a week two to Mohammed Massaco I think was

718
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: a better throw in the NFL this year. He can do.

719
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: He can get out of trouble and I think a

720
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: week a week getting past it. I think he's okay

721
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: to six two nine six, three to six to John

722
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee. You're on NFL Fantasy Live. What do you got, hey, guys,

723
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: I need some major help here. I'm in the auction league.

724
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: It was my first year doing an auction league and

725
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: that's how I knew what I was doing, and sadly,

726
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: I ended up with a really weird team. I'll give

727
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: you a low light. I have Matthew Stafford and Tony Romo.

728
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: I have for wide receiver. It's a PPR with return

729
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: yards being counted, so it's Matthew Stafford Tony Romo I

730
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: have for wide receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, Stevie Johnson, Eric Decker,

731
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: Manningham and Edmondola My running backs. Which is a bad

732
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: part is I have names Starts, then Tate n Jarvis Green,

733
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: Ellis and the Angela Williams um the tight ends doesn't matter.

734
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: But the way the way it works is to to

735
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: one to wide receivers to running back one wide receiver

736
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: slash running back. I'm getting lucky that Starts is getting

737
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: some playing time. Unlucky that's getting some playing time. But

738
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: once Cis Cup runs out, I'm gonna be really kind

739
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: of hurting. Yeah, you need to trade from depth, and

740
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: that depth is at quarterback, and I think you need

741
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: to trade either one of Tony Romo or Matt Stafford

742
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: in order to get a running back. Fitzgerald and Stevie

743
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Johnson are solid. After that, you've got some inconsistent guys there.

744
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: Am and Dull. I think could be a nice option

745
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: for you once he comes back, because you do get

746
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: points for return yards and touchdowns. But I think you

747
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: got to trade one of those quarterbacks, and I wouldn't

748
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: be afraid to put Stafford out there. See we kind

749
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: offer you get because honestly, Ben Jarvis Greenelis. I mean,

750
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I believe Stephen Ridley led the Patriots and carry's last week.

751
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: Ben Tate's gonna lose a lot of his luster once

752
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: Foster comes back at full strength, and Deane the Williams, Well,

753
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: there's not much to say that's good about d will

754
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of years. Yeah. I look at

755
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: this and I say, it's kind of has to be

756
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, because Tony Romo is not going to bring

757
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: you a guy that's gonna be any better than James

758
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Starks or Ben Tate. I think it's got to be Stafford.

759
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: You can't do better than that, I think, so, I

760
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: don't you just either you guys like Tony Romo. I

761
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: don't know people are gonna right now. But when Miles

762
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: Austin comes back and des Brian's healthy in the offense,

763
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: I like him over the back half. I do like

764
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: him over, But I don't know how much are people

765
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: gonna pay for that right right now? If you want

766
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: to sell, you can sell matt Stafford real high. You

767
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: can get somebody. You get a number one running about,

768
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: You get another good wide receiver. You could do great question,

769
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, no doubt about that. But I

770
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't think that Tony Romo is completely you know,

771
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: avoid of value. Right now? All right, Edison in New Orleans.

772
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: You're on NFL Fantasy Live with Jason Elliott and Michael Hey.

773
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: How you doing, guys? Quick question? Um, A guy who's

774
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: own three in the league right now, he's you know,

775
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: getting kind of desperate. He offered me DeShawn Jackson for

776
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: LL and is that a load brainer? Or should I

777
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: think they throw a little bit throughout that I have there?

778
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: That are you know for death? Is? Uh? I got Peterson,

779
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: I got a Matt Bradshaw and Darren mcfadd And what

780
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: should do this? Right? If you got Peterson and Darren McFadden,

781
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, other than buys, you're not gonna play anybody else.

782
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's a it's the disappointment bawl trade

783
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: between Deshan Jackson, Ri Shard and met at a if

784
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: you have that depth at running back, yeah, I go

785
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: out and get to Sean Jackson. Yeah. Again, it's it's

786
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: trade rule number one and fantasy football, you trade from

787
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: a position of of depth in a position of strength

788
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: to improve a position of weakness and if you're loaded

789
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: that running back like that and you need a wide receiver,

790
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson to me, uh, and maybe maybe people are

791
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna discreet me. I think he's a little overrated and fantasy.

792
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: You look at his numbers and he is ridiculously inconsistent.

793
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: He will have a hundred and twenty yards and two

794
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: touchdowns in one game and you will be all over him,

795
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: and for three weeks he'll suck and you still have

796
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: to play him. That is DeShawn Jackson's m O when

797
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: it comes to fantasy, and we've seen it already this year.

798
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: He's not even in the top twenty five and Fantasy

799
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: points right now among wide receivers. So uh, maybe try

800
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: to get somebody better DeShawn Jackson. Fremende Hall. Though, based

801
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: on the depth you have it running back, it makes sense.

802
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I was just about to say. D jack says DBS.

803
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: It's Dwayne bow syndrome. Peaks and valleys, Man peaks and

00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,520

821
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: well we'll see. I'm good friends with Adam Richmond for

822
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: a Man Versus Food Nation, and um, I want to

823
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: ask him if he's ever done a challenge and the

824
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: food was just awful and he had to smile and

825
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: eat his way through it. I gotta ask him about that.

826
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: Is steak the number one food on your fantasy port

827
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: Adam or is the chicken. There's always that big thing.

828
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: It's gotta be steak. I think he goes steak because

829
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: Chicken is always on the injury report. Chicken's always got

830
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: that groin injury. Injury. You will, you will. You go

831
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: into a place and they have like some little flyer

832
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: out that says, our normal organic farmer could not provide

833
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: the chicken that we normally have, so we had to

834
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: get it from you know, Tombstone Pizza or whatever. You know. Uh,

835
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I gotta talk to him. Actually, Adams,

836
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: a huge football fan loves the Miami, compared Chicken to

837
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: a running back on this. Really, Chicken is like Fred Taylor.

838
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: You know Fred Taylor's eight sometimes man, but you never

839
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: knew when he was going to be available. Give me

840
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: that guy that's gonna give me three under carriages, give

841
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: me steak. Give me Eric Dickerson CIRCA. This show has

842
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: officially jumped the shop. What goes up? What color is

843
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the sky? In your word? We should probably take John

844
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: and Charlotte. John and Charlotte, you're on NFL Fantas Live.

845
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: What's your question? Um? Yeah, I was trying to I'm

846
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: trying to make a trade for Darren McFadden, I have

847
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson, Fred Davis and Bent this which the person

848
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: is asking for first an phantom off and Darren mcfad

849
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Do that trade now? Man beent Tate.

850
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's a day they're trying to get Benton

851
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: as well. But I'm trying to just to keep it

852
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: to three because I have Ray Rice as no other starter. Yeah,

853
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: you will, you will dominate, you will roll through. You

854
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: have to make it if you can pull the trigger

855
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: on it, John, definitely do it. And one more thing,

856
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: steak or Chicken? Who you drafted first. I'm going with

857
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: I like this guy. I like this guy. You can

858
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: get chicken. There's a Chicken restaurant on every quarter. Chicken

859
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: is widely available, Elliott, there's like tight ends in the NFL.

860
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: They are widely available. Chickens are the tight ends of

861
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: the food. Jason, listen to the logic. Yeah, that takes

862
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: a bunch job. Let's get to Dad in Philadelphia. Dan,

863
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: you're on NFL Fantasy Live. What do you got? What's good? So?

864
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: I got a trade here? Um you want, I'm gonna

865
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: trade Chris Johnson being offered Jeremy Macklin and Aaron Hernandez.

866
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: That's a dicey deal. I don't know. I think I

867
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: think I hold on to c J. You don't getting

868
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: Macklin and Aaron Hernandez back for c J. Lo, my friend,

869
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: do not trade Chris Johnson just yet. And you're be

870
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: getting two guys who, by the way, on the injury

871
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: report and went with a hamstring off chicken. That's exactly

872
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: why I haven't done yet. I mean, it's sitting there

873
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: for man Macklin and Hernandas both, I mean the hammy

874
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: and me. You never know. Now there's guys I would

875
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: trade Chris Johnson four But you've got you can sell much.

876
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: You can sell much higher on Chris Johnson. He's still

877
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. It's not like he's gonna do this forever.

878
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean another couple of weeks. You're talking about. Maybe

879
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: he's a flex guy, but you can sell a lot higher.

880
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm okay with trading, but you gotta get more. Well.

881
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: It begets the larger question which I think a lot

882
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: of people are wondering, and maybe the part of the

883
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: impetus behind this potential trade that he's talking about is

884
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: if you're a fantasy owner that owns Chris Johnson, Are

885
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: you pressing the panic button yet or is it too

886
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: early to press that button? Now? I think right now

887
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: I have him. He would be my number two or

888
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: my flex guy still on my lineup. But another two

889
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: weeks and he's still looking for a hundred yard game,

890
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: he's still running for fifty sixty yards, Then I'm concerned

891
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: about I gotta I gotta take him out of my

892
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: line of fabs. If Chris Johnson, let's say, goes for

893
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: fifty five yards this week, and you're trading him or

894
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to get him off your team, who

895
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: are you looking to get? It really depends on the

896
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: position that I need. So say, if I need a

897
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and I'm trying to trade Chris Johnson to acquire

898
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback, man, I'll tell you Chris Johnson to me

899
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: has enough value where I can still go out and

900
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: try to get a Matt Stafford somebody like that. I'm

901
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: not taking less than that in a deal. And you

902
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: know what if c J doesn't turn it around, well,

903
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: I made a bad decision and my team is gonna

904
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: suffer for it. And I was just about to say

905
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, I would never deal

906
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: Stafford for Johnson right NFL Fantasy Live on Serious X I,

907
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: I actually thought the same thing. I can't believe he

908
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: did the whole steak and chicken. But then I'm you know,

909
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: throwing everything else out the window here, all right, guys,

910
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 1: to watch this week, fabs, give me you gotta watch

911
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'm gonna go with Kennel Hunter, assuming that

912
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is limited this week. He had a bunch

913
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: of carries last week when Gore went down with that

914
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: ankle injury, and I'm very interested to see what kind

915
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: of impact he can make if he does see a

916
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: prominent role in the offense again, assuming uh, that that

917
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is out and gaze, guys, I just saw

918
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 1: a message here, uh, Chris Johnson saying that he now

919
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: is saying that he's hesitated too much out of his

920
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: runs and he is now back in ball shape after

921
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: mission training camp. And like I said, next couple of

922
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: weeks are big for Chris Johnson. I'm gonna go with

923
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: Alfonso Smith. Beanie Wells was hurt last week. He leaped

924
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: frog past Chester Taylor on the depth chart there in Arizona,

925
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,479
Speaker 1: not a guy to start this week. Beanie Wells looks

926
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: like he's gonna play. But with Beanie Wells injury history,

927
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: snap up, Alfonso Smith, wait and see he could be

928
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: a starting running back moving forward. And I like that actually,

929
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: and I'll say you mine is from a little bit

930
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: different perspective. But we keep talking about trades. I just

931
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: want to see what fred Jackson does this week. I

932
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: want to see if he keeps up his toward pace

933
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: people thinking about dealing him or trying to acquire him.

934
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: He's playing the Bengals. That looks like a great matchup

935
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: on paper. The Bengals haven't given a whole heck of

936
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: a lot of points to running backs. It's NFL Fantasy Live,
