1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: M hmm yeah, yea welcome back. I'm dale Ally here

2
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: with Matt Wampson. It is time for the Fantasy Football focus.

3
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: And as we reminded everybody earlier in the in the show,

4
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: no Thursday games this week, which is probably good. It's

5
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: Championship week. It's the NFL new no Thursday games in

6
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Championship week because with this crazy COVID world. I mean,

7
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: it's almost like if I can get a bird in

8
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the hand on Thursday and I don't have, you know,

9
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: you never know who you're gonna lose. It's so hard

10
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: to be a fantasy owner these last couple of weeks,

11
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: and so much is on the line. To me, it's

12
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of taken away a little bit from fantasy, to

13
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: be very honest with you, my enjoyment of it, even

14
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: if I get a cheap win because my opponents all

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: his dudes got swamped with COVID or I'm the one

16
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to getting swamp. But I've gotten both in some of

17
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: my leagues, and I guess not having a Thursday game

18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: at least makes it all basically the same start times,

19
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: give or take, give or take. Yeah. Um, there's some

20
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: interesting stuff um going on around the first I wanted to.

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned my in the previous segment, my DFS line

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: that I put out for for d K Pittsburgh Sports.

23
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: This is documented. Do this every Sunday and it comes

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: out in my preview. I had Joe Burrow at surprisingly

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: cheap against really cheap quarterbacks against the Ravens. Are good

26
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: up on one points out of him, Yeah, just yeah.

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: I had David Montgomery at fifty seven hundred. He's still

28
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: remarkably cheap. Yeah, I mean he gets not the same

29
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: guy catches the football twenty three points six points. I

30
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: had James Robinson at I only got one point out

31
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: of that before he tore his achilles. But I had

32
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Deante Johnson at sixteen point one points. I had Jamaar

33
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Chase that I paired up with Joe Burrow. He was

34
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: seventy one hundred. He had seven catches for hundred twenty

35
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: five yards. Was he more expensive than Higgins? I assume?

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, you think you wouldn't be do you think

37
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you will be? Going forward? Probably because he's the he's

38
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the big name. He's the name Higgins is. I've started.

39
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: I've started Higgins like ten times this year. I know

40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: you've been a fan of he's a money winner, then yeah, absolutely.

41
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Uh Amon ra st Brown at fifty six hundred, he

42
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: has now replaced Hunter Renfro as the low money big ticket.

43
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Not money at all. No, I mean he's going to

44
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: get the double digit targets every week, nine catches, ninety

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: one yards, a touchdown, he had nineteen rushing yards. He's

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: like their entire offense right now. And that was with Boil.

47
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: With Tim Boy Football, he had twenty six points. No,

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: he's a good fantasy as said, and will be I

49
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: think for the next couple of years. Dallas Goddard only

50
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: got me, uhour point eight points that I said this

51
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: off the year. I mean we talked about the Eagles

52
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: last segment, but it's almost impossible for Davante Smith and

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: Goddard to have the They just don't throw the ball

54
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: in one or the other usually, and you don't know

55
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: who it's gonna be. Justin Jackson got me thirty five

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: point two points. Yeah, how's that happen? I picked him

57
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: up early in the week and plugged him in without

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: any hesitation. I mean hundred and fifty two, no, hundred

59
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: sixty two total yards, two touchdowns, eight catches, a lot

60
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: of catches, yeah, thirty five point two points. And then

61
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: to finish things off the coop the ground. I had

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense at three thousand for twenty five points.

63
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: That's an easy win. That's a hundred ninety five point

64
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: three points. I mean usually if you have a back

65
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: that you paid decent money for and he gets you

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: one point, you're but wow, you have some big hits.

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: So you know you got those kind of you know,

68
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: when we talk about matchups and things of that nature,

69
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: you have to look at the matchups, oh without question,

70
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't. Here's some good defensive ones will get

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: too later the Ravens. As we play the Rams, I'm

72
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: starting O'Dell. I mean, I'm starting Van Jefferson. I think

73
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: about Cooper Coup will be not even and he'll be

74
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, nine thousand dollars and he'll catch the wall

75
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: balls for a hundred and seventy yards and maybe three scores. Maybe,

76
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean he might be worth it, but Jefferson, O'Dell

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: is the discount price as you just saw with the

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: with the question then becomes is Sony Michelle worth anything?

79
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I think they win, right, and I think he gets

80
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: seventy on the running back touches. So you think he

81
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: gets you know, he's gonna get twenty krees, maybe he

82
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: gets a touch downe Yeah, yeah, right right right. So

83
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: Stafford struggled last week, that's my only slight concern. But

84
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,119
Speaker 1: he's not gonna struggle against Ravens defense defenses. Man, who

85
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: you're playing against matters a lot, It really does, especially

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: this time of year when if you can find Washington

87
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: or I mean one of these teams that just as

88
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: this hits so hard and can't recoup, you're going to

89
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: score a lot of fantasy points those guys. Let's roll

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: through some player and news here real quick. We we

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: aren't running waivers because there's no Thursday games. Probably. Uh

92
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: so Marcedes Lewis goes on the COVID list for the Packers,

93
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that's not He's kind of valuable to them. It doesn't matter.

94
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: He's the run blocker. Yeah, you know, I mentioned arians.

95
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: The Colts have this according this According to The Athletic,

96
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: the Cults have discussed contacting Philip Rivers. After Carson Wentz

97
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: was placed on the reserve COVID nineteens like come gear

98
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: now and start. His high school season was over. He

99
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: was his coaching high school and I know they've talked

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: throughout the year and all that stuff, but they keep

101
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: him like for the playoff run. That's the first I've

102
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: heard this news. I guess maybe. I mean, they Philip

103
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: come out of retirement. We'll get your playoff check in.

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: Are you a million dollars? And yeah? Wow? I mean

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: what if he plays well? You wow? Will he be

106
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers quarterback next year? Then you know what I mean?

107
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Is that? Then talk Ben in this coming back? You

108
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: know Rivers is back. It's funny because yesterday's game they

109
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: mentioned something like Peyton reached out to Breeze and Breeze

110
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: is like, I'm good, he's done. I don't want the

111
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: seventh string tackle against that defense. I've got this little

112
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: side gig on on TV. I'm good. Yeah, but I'd

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: love to see Rivers this week. That'd be hilarious. Um yeah,

114
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: looking here, Rivers gives a better chance in Ellinger, you

115
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: would think, Um, we mentioned the Carson Wench thing. If

116
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: he's not vaccinated, it could be two sixth round draft picks.

117
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger would get to nod if you can't play.

118
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: You saw what that looked like last night? Yeah right,

119
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: right right? I mean just guys in over their head

120
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: that aren't that talented to begin with. Yeah, yeah, that's

121
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: not that's not good. Alan, you can't play Pittman if

122
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: you have Elinger. I mean, it hurts Taylor, But it

123
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: hurts Taylor right unless he's unless he's gonna dump the

124
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: ball to Let's say say, hey, we're just gonna get

125
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the ball to Taylor because we need to win the game,

126
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: right right, right, that's possible. So he thrown the ball times, Okay,

127
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson said he lost ten pounds. One the COVID

128
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: nineteen list he's been he's off the list now I

129
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: can't use them. I mean, he hasn't been good and

130
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: now if he's lost weight and fatigued. And I meant

131
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: to ask you this. I mean with the Steeler game,

132
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs didn't need Tyreek, But do you think it

133
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: was just preservation or didn't practice all week or he

134
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: didn't make it? Fitzpatrick over top of him the entire game.

135
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: He was doubled. The played like thirty ninths now or

136
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: something like that, had two catches. Two catches, I mean

137
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: far the game playing early on. But I'm just wondering,

138
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: do you think they shut him down because COVID hurt

139
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: him a little bit, or you know what I mean. Well,

140
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I think I didn't want to risk an injury to

141
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the game that they were winning by a bunch of

142
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: valuable We mentioned Trey Lance Um probably going to get

143
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: to start this week for the for the I'm excited

144
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: to see it. What quarterbacks would you pick up Trey

145
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Lance in a championship game and start him over? I

146
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: mean that's a gutsy move because you've never seen it before.

147
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, you have one game of you've seen a

148
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: little wrong, but a lot. I mean, I just think

149
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: he has the cheek code. If you've been starting Carson wins,

150
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: that's a nice that's definitely a nice pivot right now

151
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: if he's available. Yeah, I mean I'm starting him over.

152
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: You weren't starting if you made the championship ground you

153
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: weren't starting Garoppolo. No, but maybe you're I'm trying to

154
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: think of a good example. I mean, I'm starting him

155
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: over Cousins and Mayfield and two Uh yeah, I mean

156
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: there's ten I'm not here's his one start. This came

157
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. They lost seventeen to ten, fifteen nine

158
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: two yards and he didn't look particularly good doing quarterbacks.

159
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: But he had sixteen carries for eighty nine yards. Right,

160
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: no touchdown. So, but how my fantasy points is that,

161
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean almost thirty or something like that. I don't

162
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: know if it's yeah, he didn't score. So but my question,

163
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: so you start, if you dig into this a little

164
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: bit more. Um, Deebo Samuel was still Deebo Samuel. I

165
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: mean he had he had the rushing time, he had

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown for them, so he had. Debo ended

167
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: up with one carrier for thirteen yards. This is before

168
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: they really started running him along. He wasn't doing running

169
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: back things back then. He had nine targets in that game,

170
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: three catches for fifty eight yards. Nine targets. Lance was

171
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: very inaccurate that and maybe it's just a fluke. I

172
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I think it would have to

173
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: hurt Debo and Kiddle, don't you think. Well, they didn't

174
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: have Kittle for that game, so that Debo did well

175
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: and Deebo Deebo again, nine targets, only three catches. Uh.

176
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Brandon a Uk had four targets. He had two catches

177
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: for thirty two yards. He was still in the doghouse

178
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit back then. Yeah. Uh, Kyle Jessik had

179
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: four targets. He had three catches for thirty five yards.

180
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: I wish he would just go away. Those are an

181
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: empty fantasy. Those are potato chip fantasy calories. Um really

182
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: if you I mean the other the other targets are

183
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: Ross had Dwelly, Mohammed Sanu, Charlie Warner, Travis Benjamin. Travis

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Benjamin had three targets in that game. I don't know.

185
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: I think Lance is usable for fantasy. It's risky. It's

186
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: because you don't know what he is. Do you do

187
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: you downgrade Debo? Do you ground down grade Kittle a

188
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: little bit? Downrade the passing game? But if Deebo is

189
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna get six carries every game, which still will, which

190
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: they seem to be intent on doing. And the thing is,

191
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: too is I'm sure this is what Shanahan's had in mind.

192
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Is they're playing the Texans. To you picture this running

193
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: game with a dangerous running quarterback. They may not throw

194
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: hardly at all. Yeah, I mean they may. Debo might

195
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: get eight carries, Lance might get ten. The running backs

196
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: might get They make throw a couple of wide receiver screens.

197
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Or something like that, you know, the one I would

198
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: worry about that. Yeah, you know, I mean you're you're

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: starting in bright no matter what, you know, they're gonna

200
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna get Kiddo a couple of carries. They've done

201
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: that in the past. But is that going to be

202
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: enough to carry the fantasy? No? But I mean, you're

203
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: not benching Kiddle when you're super Bowl for fantasy. That's

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: crazy talk. You might have a better option at this,

205
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, because he was hurt for so long. You

206
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: might have traded for somebody to get you by. Um,

207
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: looks like Darren Waller is gonna play, for example, this week.

208
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. You wouldn't have Kidle and Darren Waller

209
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: both right? But interesting? Yeah, No, I'm interested in Lance

210
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: though for fantasy and maybe even dfs them possibly, Yeah. Um,

211
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: just looking here the rest of this kind of there's

212
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: not a ton of news today there There really isn't

213
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: because nobody plays. Earlier this week, no one plays, and

214
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: there's not there's not a four only one of a

215
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: few days. There hasn't been a rash of COVID information

216
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: or anything that kind of stuff, so it's been a

217
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: little slower today. Than most fantasy So let's let's talk

218
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: championship game strategies. We just mentioned the Kittle dilemma about Waller.

219
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: If you're back, if Waller's back, Yeah, do you ride

220
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the horses? Do you always automatically ride the horses that

221
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: got you there? Or do you play matchups championship week?

222
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: I think that's tough. I mean, I've always been a

223
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: favor of, you know, go with your studs, but like

224
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonn always bring it back to the team I'm

225
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: dealing with, Like I can't play McLaurin. Oh no, you

226
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he's not like if you

227
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: you could drop him, you could start a monros st

228
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Brown Flora all day long without the shadow of a doubt,

229
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I mean I'm starting Sony Michelle

230
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: over se Kwon Bartley, I mean, without a shadow of doubt.

231
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: So you really have to be aware of who's getting

232
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: the ball and touches now, not who brought you there

233
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: this year more than ever, because you can find some

234
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: some fish to attack in the barrel that are bad defenses,

235
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: that are COVID stricken, that have already hung it up

236
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: for the year. So I guess don't dance with who

237
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: bron is my my body? Look at your matchups. You

238
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: know there's some names that everybody plugs in every week,

239
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: Barkley and McLaurin. That probably shouldn't it should not be.

240
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: I sent you my lineup from last night. You should

241
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: just share that with everybody. I beat my son in

242
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: a semifinal game. Showed it to my son after you

243
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: said it to me, and he just went, wow, been remarkable.

244
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: I beat my son so badly my wife was yelling

245
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: at me. I showed my wife, and services is going

246
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: to come out your door, my si year old son.

247
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: I beat him to fifty nine in the league, in

248
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: which if you score fifty points in a game, that's

249
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, that's a nice, that's a nice. You're

250
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: very happy. Like in your league. Let's say you average

251
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: one thirty to one forty a week. You're in it, right, Yeah, yeah,

252
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: we got a chance to win every one of these teams.

253
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: But I looked at it, you like doubled that I

254
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: didn't start a j Brown team league. Let's just tell

255
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: people that there's still it's still a remarkable lineup. I

256
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: didn't start him. I didn't start Sony Michelle. I didn't start.

257
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: I benched Ezekiel Elliott. All right, Who's who was my

258
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: first round pick? Who I took fourth? Overall? That's what

259
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: that answers your should I dance with the guy as

260
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: the girl? I wrong or not? But I started instead

261
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson. I picked up off the waiver wire last

262
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: week as soon as I got to as soon as

263
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: the el our news came out, Like Justin Jockson, gotta

264
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: go in. I started Alexander Madison. That didn't work out

265
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: quite as well they had. He had the same number

266
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: amount of points as Zeke, but he had way more touches.

267
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: It's all about touches, all about touch. Yeah, just give me.

268
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: The more touches you get, the more likely you are

269
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: to score. I don't care if you average three yards

270
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: of character or whatever, right, but I mean Madison versus

271
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Michelle versus Elliott before you knew the outcomes as a

272
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: tough call. The thing that helped me, and there's fitly

273
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people deal with those type and Michelle

274
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: I also have. I have. I've traded for Miles Sanders

275
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and yeah, I got some

276
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: other guys now that I can do so but I

277
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: thought about starting him because they're playing the Giant's Yeah, yeah,

278
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: I didn't go that direction. Um, and I get your

279
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: waiver wire claims the Eagles guys are gonna be hot,

280
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Austin Scott is gonna be the big I did that

281
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor scoring fifteen points. That's your bread and

282
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: butter bell. He's my guy that I've been riding down

283
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: the stretch. Didn't you give up a lot to trade

284
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: for him? And I traded both both Broncos running backs

285
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: for him, okay, which worked out great? Yeah? Um, and

286
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: he didn't blow up and you still put up jack

287
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Goondo numbers because I had forty two points out that

288
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Yeah he could add more too. Yeah oh yeah,

289
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't play a little time four. I

290
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: got the thirty seven out of Justin Jackson. I got

291
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: forty three out of Tee Higgins. I forgot about that

292
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: one out of Debot, which isn't common for him. Twenty

293
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: six out of Mark Andrews. He's the best tight in

294
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the league right now for fantasy. Yeah. Yeah, uh. Then

295
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: seventeen out of Madison, thirty out of the Dolphins defense.

296
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: I've been streaming I've been streaming defenses all year long.

297
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: Uh and I did that with the Chargers this week

298
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: minus seven, minus seven. I don't work out so and

299
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: that's you know again, if you if you try to

300
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: stream a bad defense defense, they can bite you. The case.

301
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: My son tried to stream the Jaguars defense against me

302
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: against the Jets. They got one point. Yeah, you know,

303
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: it can't be so bad. You know, there's probably ten

304
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: defenses you just don't even look at, no matter what

305
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: their matchup is, They're bad. They're bad defenses. And then

306
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: my kicker, Greg Joseph got me twelve. Wow. Just so again,

307
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: I had seven seventeen from Zeke sitting on the bench.

308
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: I had Sony Michelle with sitting on the back of

309
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: the score more Brown A J. Brown had thirty one.

310
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: Like you know, I guess I could have benched Deebo

311
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Samuel for moved Doing Higgins over A J. Brown, But

312
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: I guess we talked about it last week again I

313
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: played the matchup. No, I played, you know the last time,

314
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens. This also matters. When I used to write

315
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: for a fantasy football website. I wrote for four or

316
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: four for a long time and then I had like

317
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: four or five teams that I that I covered for them,

318
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: that I would do a little do a little synopsis

319
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: each week for them on their matchups. I think the

320
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Titans were one. I had, the Jaguars, I had the Packers,

321
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and the forty Niners. Just like how you

322
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: cover the Steelers now you really get to learn their tendencies,

323
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: what kind of defense is the One of the things

324
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: that I would always look at was previous match especially

325
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: his division opponents, previous matchups, what happened, what's is this,

326
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: what's this guy's career history like, because there's enough there.

327
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: Usually if I've got a five or six game block

328
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: of games that I can look back to and say, okay,

329
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: especially if they play a couple of weeks ago or

330
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and this guy blew up against

331
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: him that week, I'm gonna play him again. Or they

332
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: or the opposing team took or tried to take somebody

333
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: else out of the game. So the first time the

334
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Ravens and Bengals played, if you remember, the Ravens worked

335
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: really hard to take Jamar Chase out of the game

336
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: very much. They followed him with Humphrey, They doubled him

337
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: and followed him with Humphrey Tee. Higgins had a monster game. Yes,

338
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: he had like nine catches. It wasn't big yard he

339
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: had like nine eight one, but he was targeted to

340
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: He was targeted like crazy in that game. A lot

341
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: of that's coordinator play caller driven driven, of course, which

342
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: isn't flukey. I mean, they're gonna look at this team

343
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: and say this is the best way to attack them,

344
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: and you have evidence to deal with that, Like I

345
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: just started my Steeler round stack packed, you know, and

346
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield through forwo earlier in the week against the

347
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: Steeler earlier in the year against Steelers. That's the most

348
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: he's ever thrown and in six games, you know, Like

349
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: that's a trend. I mean, that's something you can bank on.

350
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: The Steelers also ran the ball effectively against them, that

351
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: they out rushed the grounds in that game, right you

352
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Is that something that's bankable? Maybe

353
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: you know and actually if you were if you were

354
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: called back to that game, um not, Jay Harris. I

355
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: believe he was at like ninety yards or four yards

356
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: on his first like twenty two carries or whatever it was,

357
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: and they he had he had he finished with twenty

358
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: six carries. His last four or five carries were negative runs.

359
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: When they're trying to Okay, they ran the ball effectively

360
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: in that game, he was effective. So it's been yeah

361
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: against Chubb, it wasn't like he was in the you know,

362
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: wasn't Ernest Ernest Johnson or anything like that. They slammed

363
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: the door. They went into that game and you mentioned

364
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: Mayfield's passing stats. What they did was it, Okay, we're

365
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: gonna Baker, you can. They sold out. They sold out

366
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: to stop the run again Monday, without a doubt. Why

367
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't you. Chubb looks ridiculously good. Yeah, I mean, he's

368
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: by far their best player on offense at this point.

369
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: It's not even closed, you know, and the receivers are

370
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: they're talking about bumping Schwartz is up just because it's

371
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody's gotten the five receiving on the team.

372
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: They had Backham for that game, they had the tight end.

373
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, they hit Baker hit a few plays early

374
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: and people are going nuts in that game. Why are

375
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: these guys wide open? Well, that's why they sold out

376
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: to stop the run. Because the only way that Browns

377
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: could win that game was to run the football effectively.

378
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: They had no fear of the of the receivers or

379
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: mayfield or any They get a seventeen yard game, tackle

380
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: the catch and yeah, that's fine, push them out of bounce. Right. So, no,

381
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: that stuff is very important for fantasy. Yeah, look at

382
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: the matchups. We do have enough data and a lot

383
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: of division games here at the end of the year too,

384
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: so you have repeat performances to go, you know, take

385
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: a look at the other thing, to look at his trends. Yeah,

386
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean if just because a guy, for example, Zeke Elliott,

387
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott right now is like RB six for the

388
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: season in terms of points because he's played every game.

389
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: He scored a bunch of touchdowns. He's on the offense.

390
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: But you have to look at don't just look at

391
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: the numbers, look at the performances. So here are his carries. Uh,

392
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: since let's say we a little hard account on let's

393
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: say week eleven, he got fourteen carries. He had a

394
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: twenty four point game in my league. Anyways, against the

395
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons in Week ten, great easy matchup, and he

396
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: probably scored two touchdowns. He scored twice. He only had

397
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: fourteen carries for forty one yards. He had three catches

398
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: for fifteen in that game. Since that time, nine carries,

399
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: nine carries, thirteen carries, twelve carries, sixteen carries, nine carries,

400
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: So his points have gone thirteen, seventeen, eight, ten, nineteen seventeen.

401
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: It's not fo Yeah, the floor is, but he's not.

402
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: There's no there's no upside. He's not gonna go. He's

403
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: not gonna put. Early in the season, he had seventeen

404
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: for ninety five and two touchdowns for twenty nine points

405
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. A couple of weeks later, he had

406
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: twenty one for one ten and a touchdown both rushing

407
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and receiving against the Giants. Those are his high games

408
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: for the season at twenty nine and both of those games.

409
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't been that guy since then, No, he hasn't.

410
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: He's been fighting things and if they get a lead,

411
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: he should be the first guy they pull out before

412
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: even Dak. They like Pollard, They've always liked Pollard, you know, Like,

413
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what his price will be Friday when

414
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: we do our lineups, but he's probably running back one

415
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: type number or prices. He's not. He's running back to

416
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: at the same time. I don't look at that because

417
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: he's played every game and he's been in every he's

418
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: been in double digits points every game but two this year. Yeah,

419
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't look at that as a waste of draft pick. No, No,

420
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you're high picks as long as he

421
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't kill you. He didn't kill me, he didn't get hurt.

422
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, he actually performed. You know. It's it's like

423
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: it's like the Gibson pick. You know the time there,

424
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: I really regretted the Gibson pick. Gibson right now, I

425
00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: believe is like RB ten for the season. Okay, he

426
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: got him in probably in this late first round, second

427
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: round something took him a tenth pick. Yeah, you know,

428
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: my favorite nine guys were gone and he was my

429
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: tenth guy. You know, I had nausea, went right ahead

430
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: of him. Those type of deals. Who's like RB three

431
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: this year? People are like, oh, he's he's not been

432
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: good volume in volume five catches the other day. Yeah,

433
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean the David Montgomery is of the world are

434
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: the great player. But if he if he's gonna snaps,

435
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be running back one almost every week and

436
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 1: has a super high floor, which is all about the volume, right,

437
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: which kind of makes like the Denver running backs feasible too,

438
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: because there's that's a big pie for those two to split. No,

439
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: it didn't work out last week. No it didn't. And

440
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: if you know, if you were counting on that, you're

441
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: probably not real happy. And now I'm a little worried,

442
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: like it's Drew Lock bad for them, you know, because

443
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: there's one sample size there. Williams I think got in

444
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: the end zone, but they didn't run well. It wasn't

445
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: a great it was a running game. But yeah, um,

446
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: look at your matchups, look at the you know, don't

447
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: just don't just automatically plug guys in the other thing

448
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to do. Don't put the mclaurin's and Barclays and I

449
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: am it. Just you gotta watch the COVID lists, oh man,

450
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, I mean, don't. Just I mentioned that

451
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I played my son Christmas Eve. We had Christmas on

452
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve because you were because I was leaving the

453
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: next morning. And so he and his girlfriend come over

454
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: to the house and and he's like, I don't have

455
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: any players against you, like because you know, here here's

456
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: what he had. Um, I had a dynasty league with

457
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: twenty five man rosters, no injured reserve, and I could

458
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: barely feel the team, you know, like I guys like

459
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins that I've been holding all year, I

460
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: can't cut him, and there was no injured reserve, and

461
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: people are falling left and right. I mean I was.

462
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: I started James Washington that league that was that bad.

463
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: He had Brandon Cooks, he had Leonard Fournette, he had

464
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder who didn't play. He had Mike Evans who

465
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: did not play. Right, Um, he had to pick up Um.

466
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: I released DK Metcalf to go ahead and pick up

467
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson because I wasn't gonna play Medcalf. Well, he

468
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: had to be picked up Metcalf because trying to think

469
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: who it was one of his other receivers, Well was

470
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: also on the COVID list, like he just didn't. I mean,

471
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: somebody's are grabbing. The lineup he started against me was okay,

472
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: but he wasn't gonna compete. You pay attention to that

473
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: and and be proactive like the other thing you have

474
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: to pay attention to in Fantasy owners. This is odd

475
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: for them, is star defensive players or the whole cornerback

476
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 1: room got wiped out. You know, you're either playing those

477
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: guys against him or don't start that defense. I might

478
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: charge your things a perfect example. No Derwin James, no

479
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: bosa im I was a fool for starting. And look

480
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: at Kamara last night. You know if you'd known that, well,

481
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be et and book, You're like, oh boy,

482
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: even if he gets twenty carries, what's it gonna be?

483
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: What's it gonna be? I mean there's nowhere to good defense,

484
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, so that matters too. No, you really gotta

485
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: put a lot of thought into this particular week. If

486
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: you're still alive, absolutely absolutely, But that is going to

487
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: do it for today's show. So for my partner Matt
