Speaker 1: let's get you caught up on what you need to

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: know as wee creep closer and closer to the regular season,

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and we get started with all of our headlines. Matt

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Cassel will start versus the Rams week one. No real

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: surprise there, even though Teddy Bridgewater led quite a nice

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter drive in a contest back in week three

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: of the Week two I should say of the preseason. Um,

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: so really, no no surprise there, right, guys, I mean,

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: come on, two gloves, Teddy Bridgewater will back him up.

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Good news or bad news for the rest of the

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: Vikings offense. Well, that Castle was shown in the past

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: that he can lead a team. Not a bad accomplishment

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: for a guy who did not play quarterback at USC

41
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: But the real question. It's gonna get the ball to

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Curdell Patterson like he did? There can he hand them

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: all off the Adrian Peterson if so good enough opinions

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: opinions Matt Castle, do you care rafting him? But matchup

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: based starter during the season if you have a bioweek

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: short Yeah, I think as long as you can get

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: the ball. Like Adam said, it's a Cordell Patterson, Adrian Peterson,

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph. Everything's fine. I know in a minute we're

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna get to um stock up stock down. In the preseason,

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Castle look great. I mean Castle looked freaking great running

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: that Norm north Turner. I should say offense, I was

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna say Norm Child sadly, sadly the chance Yea never

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: gaven the chance. It was all met Liner all right.

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Falcons running back Stephen Jackson returned to practice Monday, miss

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: most of camp with a hammy. Where do you draft

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: the starting running back that can't seem to stay healthy late?

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: I actually had my f sw A Hall of Fame

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: draft last night and he was one of the last

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: starting running backs to be picked. Risk risk risk With Stephen, Jeff,

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: I still think you have to worry about Vante Freeman.

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: I know he's down the depth chart a little bit,

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: but in terms of what he brings to the table,

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: I think he's going to move up quickly. But as

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: the season goes on. Fantasy MVP last year, yes, that's

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a strong week fifteen. He pushed me over the top,

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: get you a title rank. So where do you draft him?

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: He's sitting on the board in blank round and I've

68
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: got to take him out. Good luck, period. We we

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: parted ways his friends, and that's it helps deliver you

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a championship, and that's what we're friends. And listen, you

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: have a special He'll have a special place in my

72
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: heart for loyalty right here. None alright over to Denver.

73
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Bronco's head coach John Fox says wide receiver West Welker

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: is in good spirits after suffering his third concussion in

75
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the pasture. Welker will go through the standard concussion protocols,

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: but it appears he has avoided a major setback. So

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: fantasy owners should they be concerned about drafting Welker fans, Yes,

78
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. The concussion is such a

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: serious ailment and I just I keep thinking about the

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: name Austin Collie and I hope Welker's okay, and I

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: hope he plays in sixteen games. I hope everything's great,

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: but three in a year it is a very, very

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: risky injury to play with on that football, Marcus, I'll

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: submit to you what I just gave to Adam here.

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: If if west Welker is available to me in the

86
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: blank round, I will draft him. I think I'm looking

87
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: at west Welker right now, probably round nine, round ten

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: at this point it sound about right rank right about there,

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: all right, round nine, round ten, West Welker. I mean,

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: even in a PPR league, I think he's gonna go

91
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: a little earlier. I say seven or eight, alright, seven

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: or eight, nine or ten. It just again like Stephen Jackson,

93
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: high risk, but the high reward. There's other guys you

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: can get there. I think like Eric Decker will be

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: their better value. Yeah, less risk is I think that

96
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the game all right in a move that maybe more

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: about his trade value than xes and Os. Patriots quarterback

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallint not expected to play in Week four of

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: the preseason, So the question I guess is do you

100
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: expect him to be in a Patriots uniform? This time

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: next week, and does it matter rank, Yeah, he still is.

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna take a chance at him. I think the

103
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: teams are locked in. The St. Louis Football Club is

104
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: locked in on Sean Hill. The Texans could be in

105
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: play here. But if they haven't made a move now,

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 1: at this point of the preseason, it seems a little

107
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: bit it's gonna take him too long, too late. Yeah,

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: it's just way too late. Yeah, it's too late to

109
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: bring in a new quarterback to learn a system when

110
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: the season starts ten days from now, no question. All right,

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: here's here's a look at preseason Week three fantasy leaders.

112
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: They always say Week three is the preseason game that

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you want to watch. The starters get the most run.

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: You start to see a little bit more exotic packages

115
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: in the defense. Manny Sanders, the man who was set

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: to replace Eric Decker in Denver, tops the list. Russell

117
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Wilson just cut the Bears defense two ribbons. Brice Butler

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: there in Oakland. You see the list. So three weeks

119
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: of the preseason in the books, and looks like we've

120
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: seen enough to speculate and invest. So with that in mind,

121
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's play cock up, stock down rank. You

122
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: want to get us started here on old Doug Martin. Yeah.

123
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I like Doug Martin. And it goes back to that

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Hedford offense. We talked about it, actually, you talked

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: about it in the preseason that Jeff Hedford is gonna

126
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: ride one guy. So you look at Doug Martin starting

127
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to get back into that conversation of being an RB

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: one and I'm looking at the mock drafts that I'm doing,

129
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and he's available in the third round, sometimes the fourth round.

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: If he's available for you there, he is going to

131
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: get his opportunities. He's gonna get his chances. I like

132
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: him a lot. To the new uniforms to trow you

133
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: at all from dress, I like those new uniforms, something different,

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: and I like the numbers. Too hard to raise, too

135
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: hard to read those numbers. Alright, fabs, let's go monte ball.

136
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: Stock up, stocked out, stock up. He returned from the

137
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: app indeck to me. He was on the field and

138
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: saw the football for the first five snaps against the Texans.

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: He's got Peyton Manning in the backfield with him. That

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: is a huge advantage. Remember the numbers, No Sean Marino

141
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: posted last year that is not out of the realm

142
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: of possibility for monte ball. All right, we stick with

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: the running back position and Zack's Stacy with the news

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: that Sam Bradford is down for the year. Yeah, last

145
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: year I said sex Stacy became a fantasy star through circumstance,

146
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: and unfortunately circumstances reared its ugly head once again. Zach

147
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Stacy last year average eight teen touches per game with

148
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Bradford on the field. That went up to four touches

149
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: per game when Bradford was gone. Don't worry about stacked fronts.

150
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Stacy saw those last year when the Rams are using

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. You'll see it again this year. I

152
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna start moving up and be a guy

153
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: you get sometime early in the second round. Now, all right,

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: bullish on those three, Let's get to uh bearish, this

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: is what we would say you are? You are bearish

156
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: on who Adam rank r G three not a huge

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: fan of his preseason. It really goes back to his

158
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen season as well. Really, RG three has

159
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: been living off six games. The first six games of

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: his NFL career, he had six rushing touchdowns. He has

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: had one since that time, and now they want to

162
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: make him a pocket passer. And if you spent any

163
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: time watching him in the preseason, he looks very uncomfortable

164
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He does not look like somebody who

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: can lead your team. And you can all the quarterbacks

166
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: out there who are available in your fantasy leagues. I

167
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine a scenario where I would want him to

168
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: be my number one quarters. That's a good looking pass though.

169
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: Defensive back. Alright, fab stocked down. It's Arian Foster. We

170
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: haven't seen him. He's dealing with the hamstring injury. He's

171
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: coming off of back surgery back in the off season.

172
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: I thought he could give you one more good year.

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: But he's been invisible. He hasn't been able to play.

174
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him. I wouldn't take him in the

175
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: first round. Maybe in the second round, but I'd have

176
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to take Jonathan Grimes late as a handcuff. Foster is

177
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest risk reward player this side of Rob Gunkowski. Yeah,

178
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: not to mention, I mean without someone to pass the

179
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: ball and stacked the box and that works against as well.

180
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Here we go, Cam Newton Marcus. Right now, everybody's talking

181
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: about the wide receiver position. The fact that there's nobody

182
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: on this roster that's caught a regular season pass from

183
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Yeah, that's worries. So what worries me more

184
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: is Newton's recovery from injury. He's coming off the off

185
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: season ankle surgery. Now work that he has a hairline

186
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: fracture in his rib. That's gonna tie this guy into

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the pocket. His rushing numbers have the east than every season.

188
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna go down again this year, and with it

189
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: some of this fantasy value too. Yeah, but you ask

190
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: anybody that's had a rib injury in the NFL and

191
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: they say you barely feel those especially your football stock

192
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: up and stock down. And when NFL Fantasy Live returns,

193
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: fantasy stars come and go, but it takes something special

194
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: to be a true game changer. Find out which receivers

195
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: we think fit the mold and could fit perfectly on

196
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. And they may have won the Super Bowl,

197
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: block what have they done for you lately? We had

198
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to Seattle to sort out which Seahawks are worth drafting

199
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: this season, in which are set to lay a fantasy

200
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:42,960

Speaker 1: presented by Bows. This season, we're looking for your help

207
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,920

Speaker 1: game changers and we might feature your tweet on an

210
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: episode of NFL Fantasy Live. Today, we're gonna talk about

211
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Try to find you a diamond in the rough. Now.

212
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, get a look here at the top ten

213
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: players on championship rosters. There are no wide receivers there.

214
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: But come on, it's turning into a passing league. So

215
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: we are going to mind those fields. Dig you up

216
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: a nugget that can turn into a diamond, just like

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, DeMarco Murray, and of course no Sean Moreno,

218
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: who might end up getting that starting job in Miami.

219
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: Who would have ever guessed the guys keeping it going

220
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: go Bulldogs, Go Georgia. Alright, so let's get it started

221
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: with those wide receivers. Fabs. What do you got? How

222
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: good was Emanuel Sanders in the last preseason game. It's

223
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: almost like they said, Peyton, let's throw the ball to

224
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, and let's start it to him again and

225
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: again and again. And we also saw, unfortunately the injury

226
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: to West Welker. Does that mean Sanders as more upside,

227
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: more targets centers? Isn't an elite athlete. He's not a

228
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: guy who's going to excel. But Pittmanning makes him a

229
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: better wide receiver. Pickmanning makes a lot of wide receivers better.

230
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: He's currently going off the board in round nine on

231
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com money. That's like stealing my friend, no brainer.

232
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: What do you got? Ranked? I like Michael Floyd down

233
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: there in Arizona. The coaching staff feels he could have

234
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: a breakout coming off a two thousand thirteen season when

235
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: he had the thousand yards. It seems like there's a

236
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a passing of the torch there from

237
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald to Michael Floyd, kind of like hul Cogan

238
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: passed the towards to the Rock and WrestleMania eighteen. Michael

239
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Floyd could be somebody who could bust out for you.

240
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: And if you look at his average draft position, he's

241
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: going off the board around the sixth round now, which

242
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: is a great value for him. And if you can

243
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: grab him as your second or third wide receiver, you're

244
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna be in a good shape because this Arizona Cardinals

245
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: team is going to be throwing the ball a ton well,

246
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: no doubt. You talk about drafting in the ninth or

247
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: drafting in the six not as much risk there. I'm

248
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna say reach a little bit higher for Michael Crabtree,

249
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: you see right now, is going in the sixth round.

250
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: I believe Michael Crabtree, who, as far as you know,

251
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: dollars to donuts. I think he's got the strongest hands

252
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He catches ball, specifically in the red zone.

253
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: That's where your hands really You see him right there

254
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: just snatching that ball out of the air. He's a

255
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver one in my book, which means you draft

256
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver one. But you're not going

257
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: to have to draft it until probably early third, maybe

258
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: late third, early fourth. You're still going to get Crabtree.

259
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: There was a special relationship between he and Colin Kaepernick

260
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: when he came back, wrote it all the way to

261
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. Just a big fan of how

262
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: strong he is, how good he is in the red zone,

263
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: and that means a lot of touchdowns, and that's six

264
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: points every time he snatches one of those balls out

265
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: of the air. Babs, Well, I'm gonna go a little

266
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: deeper now, and I agree with you with Crabtree. Ruben

267
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Randall a guy that people forgot about because the Giants

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: drafted Odell Beckham. But guess what, Beckham is not gonna

269
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: make an impact this year, neither for the Giants or

270
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. Randall could remember he was the top

271
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: red zone option among wide receivers in the Big Apple

272
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: for Eli Manning when Eli actually threw the ball to

273
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: his team and not the opposition. But Randall isssum when

274
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: you take late his ADP right now is round four

275
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: team as your fourth or fifth wide receiver? I think

276
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: their sleeper potential here, all right, Ruben Randall, Michael Crabtree,

277
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: old Manny Sanders, and who you have rank Michael Floyd? Alright,

278
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: that was game changers presented by Bows so wide receiver.

279
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: It seems like people take wide receivers like crazy in

280
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: the late round. So what the heck? Manny Sanders, Michael

281
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Floyd not bad options at all. Still to come on

282
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: a NFL Fantasy Live. But you know what, just to

283
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: help you out draft some running backs in the late

284
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: runs too. Maybe they got it back in old Marshawn

285
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: lynch Up. We're going to uh look at the Seahawks.

286
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: They proved defense wins championships, but can they lead you

287
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: to a fantasy championship? We debate if they deserve to

288
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: be the first defense to go off the board. Plus

289
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Sam Branford maybe sideline in St. Louis, But what does

290
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: it mean for the rest of the Rams will tell

291
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: you who's still worth drafting and who you'll want to avoid.

292
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: More Fantasy Live after this. Welcome back to an Phil

293
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Alive. All this month, we are previewing two teams

294
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: per day to get you prepared for Draft DA in

295
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: a segment we call Fantasy two Days makes Sense. Today,

296
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: we're looking at the NFC West and we start with

297
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: the defending champion Seahawks. You saw Russell Wilson there as

298
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: we returned from our break is Russell Wilson. A q

299
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: B one rank grant he finished ninth last season and

300
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: fantasy points and he absolutely is a QB one and

301
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: you look at him this season, it's gonna be even

302
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: better for him. You've been watching him in the preseason.

303
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: He looks very good directing that offense. And the one

304
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: thing I love about him, he is the smartest runner

305
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to quarterbacks. This guy just knows when

306
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: to tuck it and run, when to extend plays, when

307
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: to get down, when to get out of bounds. Never

308
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: seems to take a clear shot. So I like Russell Wilson.

309
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: If I ended up with him, I'm you know, I'm

310
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm targeting Peyton Manning or Drew Brees.

311
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: But if I have to wait for a quarterback, Russell

312
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Wilson is a guy I feel very comfortable with. How

313
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: about it, Marcus Fabs, I'm Gon Trry in here. I

314
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: think he's I think he's a high m QB two.

315
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: I would love having him as my second quarterbacks was

316
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: fifth and look at how we talk about this guy.

317
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean Andy Dalton QB one for you, No, no,

318
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: he finished fifth last year in points, but holding them

319
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: to their reputation. Dalton, I look at the Seahawks of

320
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: fans and I just I don't see any explosive passing game.

321
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I know they get it done, they find a way

322
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: to win. I love what they do on the field

323
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: in terms of wins and losses. In terms of just numbers.

324
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm not quite as in love with Russell Wilson as

325
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: I know the rest of you guys. Well, I'm not

326
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: saying I'm in love with him. He's a QB one,

327
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: but he's a low n QB one. He had over

328
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: five hundred rushing yards last year. Your favorite problem with

329
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is inconsistency. There was a point last year

330
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: where you couldn't even start him, but there was also

331
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: a point where he was fantastic, So you've got to

332
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: play the matchups with him a little bit. I still

333
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: see him as a low n QB one. Alright, so

334
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: QB one, But for some reason and quarterbacks score point,

335
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: we moved to Well the Lynchin there, excuse me. It's horrible.

336
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch the centerpiece of the Seattle Seahawks offense. You

337
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: see it since two thousand eleven. His nine plus rush

338
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: attempts number one, your heart's per carry number two, rush

339
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: tts number one. Yet like you do with Russell Wilson, Marcus,

340
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm here to say I am terrified of this guy

341
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: this season. How about it, Fabs, But why are you terrified? Um,

342
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: he's such a physical runner that I'm waiting for him

343
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: to break down. He runs so freaking takes so much content.

344
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: If you look at the numbers, though, three hundred cars

345
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a year is not a ton. I mean, we're not

346
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: talking about three seventies. He touches. He had three hundred

347
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: sixty six last year. Don't have touches the playoffs two.

348
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: But Lynch is that's He's that kind of runner. He's

349
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: a physical runner. That's why we love him because he's

350
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna see goal line work. If you compare him to

351
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, he's younger than Adrian Peterson and he's outscored

352
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. And two of the last three years he's

353
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: averaged fewer carries per year than Adrian Peterson. And in

354
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: his first four years in the league, he averaged fewer

355
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: than two fifteen carries a year. So if we're freaked

356
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: out about Lynch, which I'm not, I'll draft him, You'll

357
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: draft Why don't we not freaked out about Peterson? Well,

358
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, wait, hold on, yeah, I fake out about everybody.

359
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm not. I mean to me, Peterson

360
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: is just he is running back unlike any other in

361
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: the national football He's very similar. He's a very punishing yer.

362
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: He's a feature back. Marshall Lynch, if I can get

363
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: him in one of the first five or six picks,

364
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm taking him, and I am not worried about him,

365
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: and I just think, just to wrap it, the difference

366
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: for me with Peterson is he's got that breakaway speed

367
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Lynch doesn't you know Lynch Lynch, He'll get more goal

368
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: line work. But that run he had against the Saints though,

369
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: what he does? Alright? What about the handcuffs? So let's

370
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: just say if someone like me is uncomfortable, but I

371
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: do take him number five overall, keating your advice? What handcuff?

372
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: Am I now going to take? Well? I like both

373
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: these guys, but I'm Christin. Michael christ and Michael Yeah,

374
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Bobby Turbin. I like both of them. And that's one

375
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I'm shying away from Lynch is

376
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks are playing to win playoff games and

377
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna extend to season. But Robert Turbin is a

378
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: guy that would go with He looks so explosive. You know,

379
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: he's looked so good. They've wanted Christian Michael to go

380
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: in take that job. They've wanted him to be the guy.

381
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, fortunately, however you want to do it, if

382
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 1: you're a Utah Stak fan, Bobby Turban has been the guy,

383
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: has been able to carry the ball. Yeah, I like

384
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: Turban in this way. I mean, I know we were

385
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: big on Christin Michael coming into the preseason. Just the

386
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: way things have worked out in these preseason games, I

387
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: think Turbin has kind of taken that number two spot.

388
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the receivers and Percy Harvin.

389
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be the number one. Speaking of injury.

390
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: The injury concerns though of Percy Harvin scary, But talk

391
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: about someone that can turn nothing into a ninety yard

392
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: touchdown run off a screen but you know, screen pass

393
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: or some of them. This is the guy. But he

394
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: also has the curse of the Great Northwest wide receivers

395
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: going against him. Name me the last wide receiver to

396
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: go to Seattle from another team and actually produce UH

397
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: and met expectations. It hasn't happened. So I like his

398
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: upside because he is so versatile. Because this is a

399
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: guy who was considered a number one fantasy receiver just

400
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: a few years ago in Minnesota. But the injuries worry me.

401
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: When miss twenty two games in the last two years,

402
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting him unless he's my third fantasy receiver.

403
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: I've been in the same way. I didn't worry about

404
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: him being on the field. I mean, we saw with

405
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Jeremy Maglin a little bit last week in the preseason.

406
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: I always have that nagging fear that Percy Harvan is

407
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna go down until a very physical division as well

408
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a punishing division physically, if somebody is as a pensiont

409
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: for injuries, So what about the other receivers. If Percy,

410
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: let's just say, is going to go down like he has,

411
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: and we certainly hope he doesn't, but he has in

412
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: previous seasons. Is there another receiver there in Seattle that

413
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: is worth drafting? I would say Doug Baldwin UH to

414
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: guy late in a twelve team league or fourteen team league,

415
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: something like that. Uh, he's shown some flashes in the past.

416
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: But guys, let's be honest. There isn't a Seattle wide

417
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: receiver that you can trust, and that includes Percy Harvin.

418
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: There are run based offense. They're not gonna throw the

419
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: ball like Peyton Manning or Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers.

420
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: Maybe why Marcus doesn't like Russell Wilson as much because

421
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't grow for four or five thousand yards in

422
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: this season. They're run based offense. None of these wide

423
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: receivers excitement. Yeah, the one thing I'll say to keep

424
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: an eye on. I just again, I love the one

425
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: past six points plus, however many yards with a touchdown.

426
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson is cartoon fast, like crazy, crazy fast. He's

427
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: a rookie wide receiver. But keep an eye on that

428
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: waiver wire if I mean stupid how fast. But they've

429
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: talked about that. He's gonna have to acclimate a little

430
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: bit more. Jermaine curses a guy like, yeah, well, here

431
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: we go. How about notable subtractions for the Seahawks off

432
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: that defense and additions. You see the additions there, Kevin Williams,

433
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: Philip Adams, Rock Coil. They lose half of their defensive

434
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: line Chris Clemens and Red Bryant Leeve olso their cornerbacks

435
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Brown are you see him there? And Walter Thurman.

436
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: So we are seeing the Seahawks defense be the number

437
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: one drafted defense so far in these early drafts. Are

438
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: they worthy of remaining the number one draft the defense

439
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: ranks start us off? I think so absolutely. I like

440
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: the moves that they made. They've got younger. It's one

441
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: of those situations where they've had a talented defense, added

442
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: more talented players and become younger and more explosive. I

443
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: really like what they're doing. Again, this drives it all

444
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: back to what I feel they're gonna end up doing

445
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: with Marshawn lynch Is Pete Carroll knows how to turn

446
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: over a roster each and every season. So I look

447
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: at these defense and I say, you know what, They're

448
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna be lights out again. Marcus Fats, I know you

449
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: agree with that average draft position right in the fifth round,

450
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: not so much. Yeah, what are people doing drafted defense?

451
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: Until late? They're fantastic. Eight games a year. You're gonna

452
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: get unbelievable production because they play up in Seattle where

453
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: you can't beat them. So they're round number one defense.

454
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: What's the Rocks doing it? Four round? I'm not doing

455
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: it and I will not draft a defense early. I

456
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: won't do I was gonna give it twelve or thirteen.

457
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I was not und NFL. Maybe

458
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: the sixth round. But they returns. You've done your research,

459
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: it's time to draft, but you're split down the middle

460
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: on who to pick. Will show you why taking a

461
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: second look at the schedule can make all the difference. Wells,

462
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Locke conquered defenses last season, but now he's trying

463
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: to conquer the world of acting. Well sort of. We

464
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: sit down with the Colt's quarterbacks to talk about his

465
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: newest project. Right after this, all right, welcome back to

466
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, the most watched fantasy football show on TV.

467
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: And if you're facing a tough decision in your draft,

468
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: sometimes knowing a team schedule can make a big difference

469
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: in helping you make your picks. So we get a

470
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: look here at the quarterbacks with me, and I'm using

471
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: the air quotes. Your easiest schedules based on last season's

472
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points against f p A. If you like acronyms. Well,

473
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't at shop. That's the that's the guy.

474
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm well, Marcus, give us some direction here. Of of

475
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: those five quarterbacks, which one sticks out at you? Obviously

476
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is right there. You take a guy who's

477
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: a fantastic quarterback and he's you know, got that schedule.

478
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: It's certainly good, a good deal to have. But Colin

479
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Kaepernick a guy, the guy has a lot of had

480
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks so far in this preseason,

481
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: but look at that schedule and maybe it reassures you

482
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more. We talked about how good the

483
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: defenses are in the NFC West, but I don't know,

484
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: they're not the same this year now and San Francisco's

485
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: is not going to be the same. So you look

486
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: at the team that could be in a lot of

487
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: shootouts going out because they have some deficiencies in the secondary,

488
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: which means a lot of opportunity for Colin Kaebernet to

489
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball. And plus he's got a full September

490
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: with Michael Crabtree of this season, and whenever Kaepernick and

491
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Crabtree have played together, they've done pretty well. Yeah, no doubt.

492
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I am with you on that one. We get to uh,

493
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: a board of schedules of quarterbacks. I guess, well, if

494
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: it's quarterbacks with bad schedules, so Brian Hoyer, it's the

495
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: f C North, Ben Roethlisberger again, the a f C North. Uh.

496
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: And then of course you see Alex Smith, Philip Rivers,

497
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: Josh McCown there. The a f C West is going

498
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: to play the NFC West, and we know that that

499
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: division last year was not kind of quarterbacks. So I'll

500
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: go ahead and focus on Philip Rivers here. And while

501
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: I understand Rivers surprised a lot of folks last year,

502
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: you see where he's being drafted this season, twelve round,

503
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: even though he was a QB one last season. Has

504
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a new favorite target in Keenan Allen, and a head

505
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: coach and Mike McCoy that likes to throw the ball

506
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Ken Wizon Hunt gone. Sure, But Philip Rivers is a

507
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: savvy vet. And you just said it when you were

508
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: talking about San Francisco. The back end of that defense

509
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: is not the same. With the injuries to Arizona, that

510
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: defense is not going to be the same. In the

511
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: front seven, obviously, you're concerned about the one. It's one

512
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: game against Seattle. In the meantime, I look at the

513
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: a f C West and I see shootouts. I mean

514
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: a ton of shootouts. Which is why, even though the

515
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: bad schedule is there for Philip Rivers, I'm not all

516
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: that concerned. I assume he will be I don't assume

517
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: he'll be at QB one this year. I'm completely comfortable

518
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: saying at a twelve even a ten team league, Philip

519
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: Rivers a QB one. He was a sixth overall quarterback

520
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: last year in Fantasy football, and plus the first two

521
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: games against Seattle again in Week two and against Arizona

522
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: week one, maybe a little tough, but after that, after

523
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: this smooth sailing. Alright, let's get to uh running backs

524
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: with good schedules, Okay, Chris Johnson to the cure, heart

525
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Ard Jennings, C J. Spiller shut not exactly, Adrian Peterson,

526
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: that fort Eddie Lacy. But again, these are the tough

527
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: decisions that you're forced to make. So when you take

528
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: a look at this schedule here, Marcus, what what running

529
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: back d it? I guess if you're splitting hairs are

530
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: you focusing on I'm looking at Toby Gerhart and he's

531
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: a name that we've mentioned a lot in this preseason

532
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: simply because he's going to get the opportunity to get

533
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: all the carries, or at least the the overwhelming majority

534
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: of them in Jacksonville. So the schedule certainly is nice.

535
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: I will say that the red flag I have seen

536
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: about Gerhart in this preseason, averaging just three points two

537
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: yards per carry so far, I mean that's approaching kind

538
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: of Trent Richardson numbers from last year. That's not good.

539
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: He hasn't he hasn't shown any burst. He hasn't shown

540
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of great things. I like his opportunity. I

541
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: just want him to do a little more with that's

542
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: a full half yard better than Trent. He's correct, he's

543
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: some three yards break area. Then where docas red bridges

544
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: and alright, bad schedules for the running backs, Adrian Peterson

545
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: Eddie lace where you see the NFC North and h

546
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: Zack Stacey with the NFC West. I'll focus on Levian

547
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: Bell here though, rank and you see the opponent fantasy

548
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: points per game about three less than what you saw

549
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: for Toby Gearhart. There here's why, again, I guess I'm

550
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: going counter to the argument of bad schedules. It's the

551
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: a f C North. They run the football. It's a

552
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: black and blue division. You have Pittsburgh that has revamped

553
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: their offensive line. They have invested heavily in the draft

554
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: along that offensive line because they want to run the football.

555
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: So if Levian Bell is going to be the guy,

556
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: I think you're more interested in Jree Archer and the

557
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt taking carries away from them. Damn the schedule. Yeah,

558
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: that's a little thing that concerns me. Right there is

559
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: like Garrett Blunt in there and taking some opportunities away

560
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: from him. But yeah, it's one of those things too.

561
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: Levan Bell solid number one running back and when you're

562
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: looking at the drafts again, he's following a little bit.

563
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I'm ready to take him in

564
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: the second round, but if he gets to the third

565
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: round schedule or not, I look at him as a

566
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: guy that I can definitely a little bit trust. Yeah,

567
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean I I just bring up with with fantasy

568
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: points against it's you know, he's gonna get the attempts

569
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: and that's that's what you want. What you want from

570
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: Toby Gearhart. You want to be on RB one. You

571
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: want Levian beld rb A want the in RB one.

572
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: The schedule certainly can push you in one direction versus another,

573
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: But that guy's gonna get some touches, all right, Wide receivers,

574
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: good schedules. Here we go, Victor Cruz right there at

575
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: the top, Marcus, why don't you get it started there? Well,

576
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz has a fantastic schedule, and you talk about

577
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: the the NFC East, that's a division that might throw

578
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: the ball a lot this year when you look at

579
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: those teams. The problem with Victor Cruz is it doesn't

580
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: matter what your schedule is if your quarterback can't get

581
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: to the football. And Eli Manning has struggled throughout the preseason,

582
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: the Giants offense has Sputter has gone nowhere, new offensive

583
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: coordinator and Ben macadoo, it looks like they're still trying

584
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: to knock the rust stop and Cruise and his ability

585
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: to get the football in his hands. That warris me

586
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: more than anybody they may line up against. Yeah, no question,

587
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: But again it's it's a wide receiver one. So of

588
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: all the of all the risk, you're in a take

589
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit comfortable, more comfortable taken one

590
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: with a number one target. All Right, here we go,

591
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: bad schedules, wide receivers rank what he got? Well, look

592
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: at Dwayne Bow, so I'm off off forever. Of course,

593
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: Dwyne Bow fifteen touchdowns in two thousand ten. He's had

594
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: thirteen in the three season since he's somebody who avoid anyways.

595
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: The one that surprises me, right, what doesn't really surprise me?

596
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: But Keenan Allen is one that might draw a little

597
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: bit of interest because people are looking at him as

598
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. One and again we talked about the

599
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: schedule opening up with the Arizona Cardinals and then playing Seattle,

600
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: and it could scare you if you have Keenan Allen,

601
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: And I just don't want you to not draft him

602
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: because he has two tough games right off the bat,

603
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: and really that game against Arizona, he could be in

604
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: a situation where he's held down for most of the

605
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: game and then boom, he catches a yard touchdown pass,

606
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: it gets close to ten points and then everything's greaty,

607
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: So I look at this guy is having another breakout season,

608
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: another huge year for him. He wasn't able to get

609
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: into the mix early last year. That was a big thing.

610
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Not only not only was he injured, but he went

611
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: to Cow, which meant he couldn't practice with the team

612
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: until their graduation of happen. I'm not taking a shot

613
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: at Cow, but there they have a late graduation, so

614
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: it tossed in the bear is gonna beat you down

615
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: if I'm not taking a shot at him? Yeah, I

616
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that was a thinly bailed shot.

617
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's get it over to our Hall of

618
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,760

619
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: potential Hall of Famer Andrew Luck. I got a man

00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: by Andrew Luck. Look at a run, Look look at

622
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: the end, Joe, he takes it all the way Andrew Luck.

623
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome in Indianapolis Colts quarterback and fantasy

Speaker 1: my pleasure. Thanks for having me. So tell us here

626
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: about your experience as an actor for Lenovo's Tough Season

627
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: series Too web web series. I'm sorry, yeah it was.

628
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a great experience. I had had a blast

629
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: doing the first season. Uh got to film some episode.

630
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: I was with Alfred Morris and Doug Flutie this year.

631
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: A bunch of good guy as. It's fun. I guess

632
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: it's a mockumentary. We have a good time. My acting

633
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: is terrible, So I'm glad I have Football will fall

634
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: back on you certainly do. And we're gonna talk about

635
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: football here now. The NFL is a passing league. It's

636
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: all about points in this league. Do you see the

637
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Colts being more aggressive in the passing game coming up?

638
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: That's a that's a good question, I think. Uh, I think, well,

639
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be aggressive when we need to be. Uh.

640
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: We realize though, you know, to be to be a consistent,

641
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: good offense, we've got to be balanced. We've got to

642
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: run the ball, we've got to get conclusions, we've got

643
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: to move the chains. But you know, hopefully we can

644
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: we can find those big plays. We know how important

645
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: you know those are for for momentum in and game

646
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: and and and and trying to win win ball games.

647
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: Should we, as fantasy fans be expecting more two tight

648
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: end sets with Dayne Allen and Kobe Fleaner, Yeah, I

649
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: think uh, I think you'll definitely see both those guys

650
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: on the field uh a lot together. They're they're they're

651
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: very dynamic. They they play well off of each other,

652
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: you know. And I think Flanner did a great job

653
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: last year when Dwayne went down a sort of sort

654
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: of caring the torch for that room. Um and and

655
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: and it's fun when you have guys like that because

656
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: you can put him in different positions and and and

657
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: try and create, you know, favorable matchups, and they do

658
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: a great job of winning those matchups. Now you've got

659
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: some really good weapons in your passing game, maybe none

660
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: better than Reggie Wayne. How has he looked coming off

661
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: of the a c L surgery. He's he's looked great. Uh,

662
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, first, just having his presence around and and

663
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: and him being in the locker room and on the

664
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: field and doing drills is is huge, you know. And

665
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I think he hasn't lost a step. He looks strong

666
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: and fast as hands are obviously incredible. Uh. And he

667
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: has such a great feel for the offense and how

668
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: to get open that really looking forward to getting to

669
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: go again with him. And you have a new addition

670
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: to the passing game that Keem Nicks. What does he

671
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: bring to the offense that you guys maybe lacked last season. Yeah, keeps,

672
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: he keeps a study. You know, he's he's won a

673
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He's a big play guy. He's got you know,

674
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: big hands, makes a bunch of catches and great body control. Uh.

675
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: You know, he brings a lot, a lot to the offense.

676
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it'll be tough for for

677
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: defense is just to focus on one receiver, one pass catcher.

678
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: There's there's a bunch of guys that can hurt you

679
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: out there. Now, if there's one question fantasy owners have

680
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: about the Colts is the running game. Trent Richardson struggle

681
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: a little bit last year with you guys, what have

682
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: you seen from him in training camp to preseason that

683
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: makes you think he's going to improve greatly. Yeah, he's

684
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: been great. You know, he's he's he's definitely understands the

685
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: playbook better. It's tough when you come in mid season

686
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: and are expected to step in like that. You don't

687
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: have much time to sort of, you know, digest and

688
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: learn the system like everybody else. But he's done a

689
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: great job of of being on the right track. He's

690
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: made some real big plays. He's he'll he'll have a

691
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: great year and it'll be fun to watch all right, Andrew,

692
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Good luck this season. I have

693
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: you as my fourth rated quarterback in fantasy football, so

694
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm expecting big things and fantasy fans certain we are too.

695
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: Good luck this year, my man. I appreciate it. Thank you,

696
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: all right, remember now to check out Andrew Luck, Matt Forte,

697
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: Offred Morris and more in Lenovo's tough Season two at

698
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: lenovo dot com slash NFL. All right, thank you, Andrew Luck,

699
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, FABS. Coming up? Does Zach Stacy Stock go up?

700
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: With Bradford stuck on the sidelines? Are the Rams of

701
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: top five defense? Where do you draft Tavon Austin if

702
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: Sean Hill is under center? We talk all things Rams

703
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: right after this Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. We

704
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: are wrapping up our fantasy two days for the NFC

705
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: West with a team that has a lot of question marks,

706
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Rams. So we start with the departure

707
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: sadly again for Sam Bradford, another a c L injury.

708
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: The impact that it has on this offense. FABS and uh,

709
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: I guess will it adjust your drafting methods for the Rams? Well?

710
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I like the wide receivers a little bit less

711
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: like Kenny Britt Tavon Austin, but it's not going to

712
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: significantly drop either one of those guys. And to be

713
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: quite honest with you, they're going to run the football,

714
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: I think the same amount as they would have otherwise.

715
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is not Kurt Warner, for example. They're still

716
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. It's still gonna be the centerpieces.

717
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: Zack Stacy and maybe Benny Cunningham sprinkled in there a

718
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: little bit, and now certainly with Bradford going down the

719
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: one wide receiver that seemed to get well. Kenny Britt

720
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: was getting a lot of run lately, but Tavon Austin,

721
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: they trade up to get him an explosive playmaker at

722
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: West Virginia and certainly can still have an impact on

723
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: this team because of how they're going to deliver the ball.

724
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Brian Schottneimer is going to deliver the ball to him.

725
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: A lot of those checkdown passes, Yeah, a lot of

726
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: those checkdown passes, And I think they're gonna they're gonna

727
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the ball as a runner

728
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: as well, kind of out of the backfield. We saw

729
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: some of it late last year. The couple of games

730
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: near the end of the season when he finally took off,

731
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: they found new creative ways to give him the football,

732
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna have to do that to

733
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: take a lot of the pressure of Zack Stacey this year.

734
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: So rank you see the graphic their average round thirteen

735
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: round for Tavon Austin. If he's sitting there, what about

736
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: ten at the eleventh? Is there around or is it thirteen?

737
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: You gotta wait, all right, so right before you draft

738
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: kick and your defense is still available, all right? Well,

739
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: the one player that, as you said, they're at the

740
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: top FABS really doesn't get impacted as much because I

741
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of defenses were going to honor

742
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: the past all that much. The past, I should say

743
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: with Sam Bradford, is Zach Stacy and the value of

744
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: Zach Stacy still where it was, or maybe even a

745
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: little bit higher. He's an RV two for me, a

746
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: guy that you'll draft in the third or fourth round.

747
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: The question I have isn't about his ability, It's about

748
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: workload and can he continue to see the lion's share

749
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: of the carries last year? If you projected the number

750
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: of touches he had in his starts over sixteen game season,

751
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,479
Speaker 1: he was right there with Lashawn McCoy. I mean, that's

752
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot of touches for a guy who averaged sixteen

753
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: or seventeen in his last two years of Vanderbilt. But

754
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: I think the big difference is it's not as though

755
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: he's jumping immediately from a Vanderbilt like workload to an

756
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: NFL like workload. He's kind of been eased into it.

757
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: When you look at the twelve starts he had last year,

758
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: he's maybe immune to hitting that rookie wall because he

759
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: didn't have so many touches. So maybe this year he's

760
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: able to work up to that started he did have

761
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: a lot of touches. The one thing I would be

762
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: concerned with and just you know, to to grab. I

763
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: don't know who started the whole pump the brakes thing,

764
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: but but why I would pump the brakes on Stacy

765
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: is his yards percarry are not great. He is not

766
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: a home run hitter. Trey Mason is a stud, I

767
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: mean a stud of a back. Certainly he's had some

768
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: issues with past protections. He has not jumped out like

769
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: the ramps and hope, but I am confident they want

770
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: him to be the guy. They want more of a

771
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: breakaway threat than Zach Stacy affords them. And that's the

772
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: other the other part of me. Even if you're worried

773
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: about his yards percarry average, being a volume guy maybe

774
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: offsets that a little bit. Yeah, and I guess the

775
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: issue with Benny Cunningham too is remember Isaiah Pete was

776
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be the guy, and all of a sudden,

777
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: Daryl Richardson takes those carries. So Jeff Fisher is not afraid.

778
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm now pumping the brakes on myself

779
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: talking about what I'm saying. I'm simply saying Stacy that

780
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: that paltry yards percarry scares me a little bit, would

781
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: take him as an exactly and that's it's absolutely It's

782
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 1: why he's an RB two. The value of the Rams

783
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: defense and this is on paper, one of the best

784
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: looking defenses out there. But what happens now if they

785
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: have an offense that's not competing, that's the problem. That

786
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: defensive line is going to be fantastic and be very formidable,

787
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: but how many games are they gonna be a in

788
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: where at the end of it they're gonna be out

789
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: there so much because of all the three and ounce

790
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: with Sean Hill and everything, this team just wears down

791
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, there's explosive playmakers all around

792
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: the field. But again, this is a team that could

793
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: have come out and been the top defense this year.

794
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: But now you've got to slot them back a little bit.

795
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: I slot him back behind Seattle, the team you like

796
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: a lot, the Denver Broncos. I put him behind them.

797
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: Arizona they're kind of in the mix in a very

798
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: similar situation as the Arizona Cardinals, just for a different reason.

799
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say about this defense, what's the

800
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: easiest way to get points in fantasy sacks? This is

801
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: arguably the best attack the quarterback sack of defense in

802
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is why I still have them in

803
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: the top five. Marcus and Fats, Yeah, I would agree.

804
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: I think I think they're definitely right there. I know

805
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: we don't talk a lot of I d P, but

806
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: you look at Chris Long and Quinn on the edges there.

807
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: Those two guys get after the quarterback, and I think

808
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: that may help in the sense that it pressures the

809
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and maybe it leads to some interceptions on the

810
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: back end. Right they're gonna turn the ball over as well,

811
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: so I think that's big to me. They're still one

812
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: of the eight best defenses and fantasy going into your draft,

813
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: So a D one football start one alright, Still to

814
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: come on NFL Fantasy Live. If you're thinking about putting

815
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: a first year player on your fantasy team, you better

816
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: know what you're getting into. We compare some of the

817
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: top rookies worth drafting right after this time for clear

818
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: choices presented by the makers of Claire It is all right.

819
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: It's tricky figuring out which rookies are worth drafting and

820
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: which are just fantasy marks is so we're here to

821
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: help you make the choice and make it more clear.

822
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: We start with first year running backs, and you see

823
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: them behind us here, Terence West of the Browns, Carlos

824
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: High to the San Francisco forty niners. Those are their

825
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: preseason numbers thus far, certainly high the more productive of

826
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: the tuban hard to figure out they're going against ones.

827
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: They're going against twos. So who do we like? Come on?

828
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: Let's go all right? I like lows Hide, but I

829
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna have to wear parents West for quite

830
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: a while because I've been quite high on him throughout

831
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: most of the preseason, and when I look at that

832
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown situation, I do feel at some point this

833
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: season he's gonna make a big impact for them. Okay, well,

834
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: what's stop Wait a minute. This is called this is

835
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: called clear choices. It's supposed to be clear. The both

836
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: of them are backups. Right now, there is no clear

837
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: choice choice if you have parents West, all right there,

838
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: Parents West is my guy that situation there in Cleveland.

839
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: He's gonna end up being the number one running back

840
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: by the end of the season. Dentate, He's got a

841
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: history of injuries, plus Terence West. When he gets a

842
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: chance to run with the ones, he looks pretty good.

843
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: The only problem was in this preseason they were just

844
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: trying to get bent eight in there as much as

845
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 1: possible to get him ready for the season. But again,

846
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: and I'm with you, Rank, I like the kid out

847
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: of the towns. And how about it, Marcus, do you

848
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: have a clear choice for me? I am clearly picking

849
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: up the Carlos high flag and running with it right now.

850
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: I like what I've seen from him this preseason. He's

851
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: a guy that in a lot of ways looks like

852
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: Frank Gore in the sense that he's gonna pick up

853
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: those tough yards. He's gonna be a short yardage back

854
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: potentially at some point the Niners know they need to

855
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: start making that transition. And especially with Marcus Lattimore now

856
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: on the pup list, you know he's gonna miss some

857
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: time at the start of the season. Carlos Hide knows

858
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: that he is locked in at that number two spot.

859
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: An excellent handcuff for Frank Moore and maybe a guy

860
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: you've considered getting some late season starts depending on how

861
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: that running game shakes out. I'm just saying we have

862
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: been sending Frank Gore out to pasture for at six years.

863
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: At six years, we've got to be to replace knee.

864
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: How is he still running? He's still running the football, alright.

865
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: The trend is hard to ignore. Rookie wide receivers just

866
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: don't put up huge points in fantasy. I still ignore

867
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: that for some reasons. So if you're taking a rookie ldew,

868
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's probably the top option. But after that, if

869
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: you're taking a flyer on someone late, should it be

870
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin National champion out of Florida State at Carolina

871
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: Panther or arguably the most explosive player in all of

872
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: college football last season, Sammy Watkins. I'll get started with

873
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: Benjamin because of the lack of receiving options for Cam

874
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: Newton in Carolina. Benjamin a tall drink of water. He

875
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: is a big, big guy. I mean, Cam Newton has

876
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: not had a receiver. I no, Lah Fell is about

877
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: six three. This guy is a full six five, a

878
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: full two sixty pounds. He's an athlete. He can jump.

879
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely love him in the red zone. I took a

880
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: flyer on him already in one of the drafts I completed,

881
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: and I will probably continue to do so because nobody

882
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: drafts rookies like I do, and I tend to take them.

883
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Und I love Calvin Benjamin this year as the number

884
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: one option for Cam Newton this season. I like Benjamin

885
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: is a late round flyer, but I'd prefer to go

886
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: Watkins just based on his athleticism, his skill set. That

887
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: you said, this guy was the most explosive player in

888
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: college football last year. But with that being said, I'm

889
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: going after second year wide receivers before the rookies, and

890
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: and the other concern about Sammy. Look, he's a markable talent.

891
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: It's it's EJ. Manuel, it is J Manual, he's injured

892
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: and it's EJ. Mann. You also have to remember that

893
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in fantasy football last year was

894
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. Who are the quarterbacks there? Certainly it doesn't

895
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: matter as much as you think Kayton Manning he's gonna

896
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: make wide receivers better, but a lack of days ago

897
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: quarterback isn't gonna necessarily make a good wide receiver that

898
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: much worse. Watkins a late run flyer again, but I

899
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: am going after second year wide receivers before the first

900
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: year guys. All right, that was clear choices presented by

901
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: the makers of Clairett into the one thing I'll say,

902
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: and I have not done the statistical analysis on this,

903
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: but rookie wide receivers with veteran quarterbacks tend to perform better.

904
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: So that's that's another reason why I like Calvin Benjamin

905
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more. That's why I love Brandon Cooks

906
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: because you're talking about Drew Brees, and even though Cam

907
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: isn't in that conversation with Drew Brees, you're just a

908
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: little more settled when you have that veteran back there

909
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: with the new rules, the way they're calling those penalties,

910
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: If they rookies are able to get off the ball

911
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: a little bit better, well that's the biggest adjustment, no question.

912
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: The physicality of the defensive backs. They don't know how

913
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: to deal with that. They didn't have to in college.

914
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: And if that's out the window, we're even better. All right.
