14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean I know if this is a fantasy football podcast,

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: it man. There was one hell of a baseball game

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: on last night. I heard about it, but I did

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: not watch it. Um. I know that the Nationals won,

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: and so they'll be coming to Los Angeles to play

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: your beloved Dodgers in the a LDS. And my pal

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbin, who is a big fantasy football guy is

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: going to be starting for the Nationals. I believe the

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: game he will be starting. Yeah, it just it was

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: a great game. Uh. The Brewers lose a heartbreaker there

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: port Trank Grisham, who he's he's going to be the

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 1: goat for his error that allowed the Gnats to score

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: the winning run, although you could easily say that that

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: the reliever Josh Hayter was as much to blame because

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: he couldn't get out and uh and and force them

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: into a bad situation. But it was fun. It's gonna

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: start to the baseball playoffs, I know tonight We've got

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the Rays and the A's. Uh. The winner of that

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: game goes on to have the honor of getting smushed

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: probably about the Houston Astros. So good luck with that.

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Um what yeah, I actually last I want to in

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: the text change with some boy friends. Did you forget

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: about that team in the Bronx? Know? But like they

00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: play the Twins, right and so like the winner of

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: raising A's, like they go see the Astros before they

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: get to whoever wins. I admit I'm a little I

41

00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the astract. I mean, I know, we got to get

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: through the twins, who, by the way, Kyle Gibson, another

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: big fantasy football fan, um uh, and a buddy of

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: mine who I can't wish any luck to. I it's funny.

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna text chain with a bunch of friends,

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, all growing up in the Bay Area and

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: all having followed the A's for so many years. Um.

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: You know, we're sort of texting after after the game

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: last night, and I actually went on the MLB website

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: to check the World Series schedule because I was hoping

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: that maybe, just maybe, if the A's could put together

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: a run, that they would play long enough for the

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: Raiders to have one more home game on the Unfortunately,

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: the World Series ends a couple of days before even

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: in Game seven would be over a couple of days

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: before the Raiders would get back to Oakland for their

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: next home game, so it's not possible. I was hoping,

59
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: just maybe, maybe maybe one last time, but that's not

60
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: going to happen. I planned to talk about we will

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: preview Week five. We'll talk to Jeff Ratcliffe from Pro

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Football Focus as we do on occasion here on Wednesday,

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: So I planned to talk about before we do that,

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: we'll go behind the glass and talk to our faithful producer,

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murphy's up. Yeah, guys, I was.

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I watched the beginning of that that game last night,

67
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: and I came home and I was, I put on

68
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the TV. But I had a lead before the ending

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: because I got a tip that apparently Eddie Murphy was

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be at the Comedy Store surprise headliner show,

71
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I bought tickets and I'm like, you know what,

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: if it is Eddie Murphy, it's okay if I missed this,

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: uh this postseason game, because again I do love post

74
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: season baseball, And was Eddie Murphy? It was not. It

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: was not that I went. I went to the store

76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: about a couple of days ago, um last week, and

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: and uh, the bound because of my name, the bouncer

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: or the doorman rather saw my I d and he's like, oh,

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Like he's like, I gotta do a

80
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: double take here because Eddie's coming next week and then

81
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: the secret show, and I'm like, this is gonna be awesome.

82
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Ten dollars on Tuesday, and I have like a million

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: things going on flying home later today for a wedding.

84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: It's like craziness, and I'm like, but I gotta go

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: see Eddie because because it'll be legendary. And it was

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: actually dam Wain's and he was working out his new hour.

87
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: So if I don't know, this is like a spoiler alert,

88
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: but he's working on a new hour is going to

89
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: come out, and um, you know it was fine. His

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: stories are super interesting. But Eddie Murphy, I would say,

91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: is a different level. Probably yourself, I'm really because I mean,

92
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: like i've recently because it's on Netflix now, like delirious

93
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: and yeah exactly, and he's he's he's hilarious. But some

94
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: of his stuff it doesn't stand up right now. Some

95
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: of his stuff would not go over well right now,

96
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: it does not stand up. But in the moment at

97
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: the time, it was absolutely, Uh that would have been great, though,

98
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: does see Eddie have Eddie Murphy seeing Eddie Murphy, It

99
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: would have been yeah, exactly, and it would I would

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: have been much happier with missing the ending of that game.

101
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: Uh whatever. Now baseball season, we're we're in football weather

102
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: in l a now too and October all wearing gags

103
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: and years. So yeah, but it's supposed to warm backup.

104
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like this week, So good luck with that.

105
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: All right, Let's do some news, all right. We'll start

106
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. James Connor, who had his breakout game on

107
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Bengals, also suffered an ankle injury.

108
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: He is still being evaluated by the team. We'll kind

109
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: of keep tabs on that as the week progresses to

110
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: see what his status is going to be. But fasom

111
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: and playing and simple Jaitalen Samuels had a pretty good

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: game as well for the Steelers, and I would think

113
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: that he's going to be high on the list or

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: was high on the list of waiver claims that just

115
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: ran and and legitimately should be uh in a lot

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: on a lot of rosters and maybe on a lot

117
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: of lineups this week. Yeah. Man, Uh, that that's one

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: too to watch out for. I mean, I know I

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: told people to sell high on Connor. We have to

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: wait on that, depending on what happens with this angle injury.

121
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: He was able to come back in the game last week.

122
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: We'll see, But um, it seems like one of those

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: scenarios where like people are almost not you know, you

124
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: don't want to for a guy to miss time, but

125
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: if you eliminated one or the other from that backfield

126
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: in one way, shape or form, I feel like the

127
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: other would thrive. And so if Connor doesn't play this

128
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: week against the Ravens, I feel like Jalen Samuel could

129
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: end up being like a top twelve PPR back. Yeah. No,

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: I think he really does have that volume, you know.

131
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: And this this sort of takes us back to where

132
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: we were at the start of the season or in

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: the early preseason, where they were all these rumors that

134
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: maybe this would be a committee. It hasn't really turned

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: out that way. Although I do sort of wonder, um

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: now with Mason Rudolph at quarterback in this passing game

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: not being what people expected it to be, you know,

138
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: whether or not we're going to see more of the wildcat,

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: more of the two bags on the field. So maybe

140
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: we may end up, sort of on accident, ending up

141
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: with this this rotation system. And if you look at

142
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: the participation percentages last week, I mean it was Connor's backfield. Yes,

143
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of Jalen Samuels There's no question

144
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: about that. But um, you know, this is a situation

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: here where um, we had I believe Eve Connor had

146
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: played around six uh of the offensive snaps and Jalen

147
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Samuels in there for so Connor uh still had had

148
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: quite a lead here ten more snaps on him. But

149
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: if if Connor is is a no go this week,

150
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: then Jalen Samuels is a virtual must start. Yeah, I

151
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: would think so. Uh. And Cincinnati John Ross has a

152
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. He's expected to miss multiple games that never

153
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: happened about a month. Yeah, it is just another in

154
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: the laundry list of injuries that John Ross has suffered

155
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: in his relatively short NFL career. Um, I mean it

156
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: comes when he had had that pretty good start to

157
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: the season. The last couple of weeks he has fallen

158
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: off a little bit. But actually his first two weeks

159
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: were very very good. Ostensibly, Oddent Tap is the guy

160
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: who slides in there and it starts to take a

161
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: lot of those snaps and probably some of those targets.

162
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: But man, what we saw from that Bengals offense on Monday,

163
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to trust anybody. Yeah, Tate played of the

164
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: offensive snaps and I mean the league ad maybe I mean,

165
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: but the NFL is so weird from one week to

166
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the next, and you know, we obviously have to use

167
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: the data that we have, But I mean, I wouldn't

168
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: be shocked if Andy Dalton went out there and through

169
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns if it's Cardinals, because their defense isn't

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: any good either, So um, I would I would still

171
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: keep Dalton sort of on the two QB super flex league,

172
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: uh radar, But um that was that was an ugly game.

173
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: And the thing that I have a couple of shares

174
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon, You're not going to be able to

175
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: trade him right now unless you're in a league with

176
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: the Bengals fan who thinks that they're gonna switch to

177
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: a run based offense, which is not gonna happen. But

178
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: I think this is where we're at. Like with Joe Mixon,

179
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: if if number one, the offensive line is just awful,

180
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: it's terrible, and you know, Zach Taylor's throwing the ball

181
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: like seventy of the time, and even at the end

182
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: of the game, you were hoping to maybe get some

183
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: garbage time catches and it was Gio Bernard. So it's

184
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: it's not a good situation right now if you have

185
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: a mix and you obviously have to play him. I mean,

186
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: at worst, he's a flex the match this week works.

187
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully they can get him more involved in that offense

188
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: because looking at looking at what the Bengals have done

189
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: so far hasn't worked well, and looking at their schedule,

190
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got the Cardinals this week, but they're

191
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: their next four games after that on the road at Baltimore.

192
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: They got the Jaguars, they got the Rams, and they

193
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: got the Ravens again, and like I know, the Rams

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: and Ravens sort of got lit up last week, but

195
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: still those aren't matchups that you really want to messle

196
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: around with. It sounds like four good defenses start in

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy league. Yeah, So so there you go over to Dallas.

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones says he is not ruling out Michael Gallop

199
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: four week five, which is great because I didn't know

200
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones had a medical degree. But then again, I

201
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: guess we shouldn't be surprised that the owner and general

202
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: manager of the Dallas Cowboys is the one who is

203
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: deciding these sorts of things. But that's good news, right,

204
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously the Cowboys really struggled to

205
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: get their passing game going last week against the Saints,

206
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: so I think adding Michael Gallop back to the mix

207
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: this week is is very good news. Although, but the

208
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: Packers are vulnerable on the right on their secondary is

209
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: still I tried to pick up Gallup where he was dropped, uh,

210
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: And I would do the same thing if if I

211
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: were you go and see if he's available. And you know,

212
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: if you've got a guy on your roster that is

213
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: sort of just sitting there collecting dust, pick up Michael Gallup.

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: But this is an interesting game, like Zeke's gonna run

215
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: for a hundred fifth or two hundred yards in this game.

216
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: If you've watched what running backs have done against this

217
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers defense, like last week, Jordan Howard was reborn,

218
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay went nuts on this on this team. You

219
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: know Dalin Cook, I mean, he's basically goes nuts against everybody.

220
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: But um, this is this is a and Zeke has

221
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: been somewhat of a disappointment so far after four weeks.

222
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: This is a get right game. And I also believe

223
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: and I get it. You know, the matchup is bad.

224
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: The Packers have been tough against the past, but Dak Prescott,

225
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: if Zeke can establish the run, which he will, you

226
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: get Dak into play action where he has the fourth

227
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: highest pass rating in the league right now, and suddenly

228
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be so afraid of that Packers past defense

229
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: and starting Dak Prescott this week. Uh. You know it's

230
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: funny too, because I think this is when we started

231
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: to wonder looking at the schedule, Well, this is when

232
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: we would start to sort of get the true measure

233
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: of Doc. Right, Like, the first few weeks on paper

234
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: looked like he was going to be successful. I mean

235
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: that the schedule was very kind to him and Washington

236
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: at the Giants head Dolphins, so we sort of knew

237
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: that he would get out of the gates quickly. It was,

238
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, these games against the Saints, Uh, games against

239
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the Packers when we started to figure okay, now we'll

240
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of figure out where Doc is. So, I mean,

241
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: I said it on the show yesterday, and I'm a

242
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan. I'm a die hard Cowboys fand's not an

243
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: only fantasy quarterback. Yet. You don't go into a matchup

244
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: with the Saints and do what he did. You know,

245
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: that Saints defense, it's not been great. They have not

246
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: been great against the past this season, and and that

247
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: just could not get the job done there night and

248
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: day in that dome versus outside of that dome. Tell what? Yeah,

249
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: the Bills right now preparing Matt Barkley to be their

250
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: starter against the Tennessee Titans this week. Josh Allen still

251
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: dealing with the concussion protocol and taking just a wicked

252
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: helmet to helmet hit again the Patriots last week. Look,

253
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: you're not starting Matt Barkley. Um, this this certainly makes

254
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: it difficult to lean on John Brown and or Cole Beasley.

255
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, even Dawson Knox was starting to get a

256
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: little bit of chatter as a tight end streamer. But

257
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: does this mean bad things for Frank Gore for Devin Singletary,

258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: who may possibly be back. I mean, can you can

259
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: you possibly trust either of those running backs? Look at

260
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: what Court did last week? I mean, I mean, listen, dude,

261
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean you you say a hundred times a year,

262
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, Frank gar will never die and I'll live

263
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: us all. Gore is an acronym that stands for go

264
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: on running eternally. That's what it mean. It is, And

265
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: so I mean I the volume is gonna be there.

266
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that Devon's gonna be back this week.

267
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bills might hold them out one

268
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: more week because they have a by uh and get

269
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: him really do. But if Gore is the featured back,

270
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: he's he's a flex starter. I would think in some

271
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. Now, the one big play here is that

272
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: Titans defense. Uh, you go out and pick them up

273
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: this week. Um, they're right up there, you know with

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: not maybe not with the Patriots because that defense has

275
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: been other worldly, but they're right up there. The Titans

276
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: defense as a streamer against Matt Barkley. Uh, and this

277
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense. And there's not a lot of startable assets.

278
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean even on Tennessee side of the ball. Like,

279
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: of course, Derrick Henry is going to be a start.

280
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Mariota is not a start for me. Uh, Corey Davis

281
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: who went off last week, you know, good luck with

282
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: with Dredavious White and that defensive backfield that shut down

283
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman last week. A J.

284
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: Brown is a hard fade for me. If you want

285
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: to pick him up, fine, but don't play him this week,

286
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: even Delaney Walker. I mean, in in this game, Delaney Walkers,

287
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: He's not a lock to put up great numbers either.

288
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Because this Bill's defense against the past is for real. Yeah,

289
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, I said last week, credit the Bill's defense

290
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: because they basically had to defend two offenses, because you know,

291
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: obviously they have to deal with the Patriots, but then

292
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: that their own offense kept putting them in bad situations

293
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: because you know, Josh Allen couldn't get anything done, and

294
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: it you know, maybe a situation where they have to

295
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: do that again this week. Who knows. Uh. Last bit

296
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: of news, Jake Gruden says he has not yet made

297
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: a decision on who will be the starting quarterback. Act

298
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: we know that Dwayne Haskins did not look good when

299
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: he came on the field last week. Colt McCoy is

300
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: healthy and available, and you know there's talk that he

301
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: may get the start this week against the Patriots. I mean,

302
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: I guess ostensibly it doesn't really matter who the wh

303
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: who Washington puts on the field against this Patriots defense. Um,

304
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I guess the question is do I don't know, other

305
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: than starting, I don't even know what the question is

306
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: other than bad. Right, It's just it's just going to

307
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: be bad. I guess that's all. I guess that's really

308
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: all I have to say about that. Yeah, Um, Jake

309
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: Gordon is trying to save his job, and turnovers will

310
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: will be the death of an offense and the death

311
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: of a coach who's on the hot seat. And so

312
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: I feel like Colt McCoy maybe the guy who's going

313
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: to protect the ball most out of that trio. But regardless,

314
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and I just talked about the Patriots defense.

315
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Marcus thirty seven points in week one, they

316
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: had twenty three last week. This week they may go

317
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: for over twenty again. They would be a top five quarterback,

318
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver and the number one tight end

319
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,359
Speaker 1: of these both highest scoring player in Finnis. It's ridiculous.

320
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and now they got the Redskins with with

321
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: a lousy quarterback situation. So yeah, and this is a

322
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: get right game for Tom Brady, who was off at

323
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: last week three points. I've in fantasy points for Julian Edeman,

324
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: for Josh Gordon. I don't know about the running game.

325
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about Sony Michelle. James White was back

326
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: last week, but of course, Belatrix is so unpredictable. Maybe

327
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: it's Rex Burkhead this week. We could never predict that. Um.

328
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: But you know, if if there was one locker room

329
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: that I could sort of be a fly on the

330
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: wall in every single week, I think it would be

331
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: like the Patriots running back meeting because who's gonna get

332
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: who's gonna get to touches this week? Bill because no

333
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: one in fantasy can figure it out. But I digress.

334
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Patriots are good plays this week. I think they just

335
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: like they play rock paper scissors before each It could

336
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: be it could be, yeah, that might be it. All right,

337
00:15:48,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: that's pretty much everything you need to know. Joining us

338
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: again this Wednesday, as he will do multiple times throughout

339
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: the season from Pro Football Focus, it is Jeff Radcliff. Jeff,

340
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: good to talk to you again. How things very very good.

341
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: I love October football because we kind of figure things

342
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: out a little bit. We I mean, never figured it

343
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: entirely out. Now we have this month's worth of data points.

344
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: So it's a good time of the year. Man. Yeah,

345
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: the preseason is officially over now that we're in October,

346
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: so it's great. Uh So, speaking of figuring things out,

347
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: you are there in Philadelphia, and I know you're not

348
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: in the Eagles locker room per se, but you are

349
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: at least, you know, geographically closer to the Eagles than

350
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: we are. Can you can you shed any light on

351
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: exactly what's happening with this Eagle's backfield After Jordan Howard

352
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: had a huge game last week, Well, I think they

353
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: just had Green Bay's number in this contest if you watched.

354
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagle's offensive line is phenomenal, but they

355
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: were breaking massive holes open. And if Miles Sanders, this

356
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: is a couple of times we've seen this season he

357
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: is not running to the correct gap. Uh. You know,

358
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: sometimes we see this with with younger players that they

359
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: want to bounce things where they'll miss their gaps. So

360
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: I think it's still gonna take some time there because

361
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: he missed on his first carry what could have potentially

362
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: been a massive run, and then maybe we wouldn't even

363
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: be talking about Jordan Howard. Jordan Howard did what he

364
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to do. That being said, I still think

365
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: you have to view vote both of these guys outside

366
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: of the r B two's I'd rather have Sanders for

367
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: the long term because Howard's inefficiencies that we've seen over

368
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons. But Howard is still flexworthy

369
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah. You know, when I did some

370
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: research on Doug Peterson's tendencies in the backfield, I mean,

371
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: He's only had one guy average over twelve touches per

372
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: game as the Eagles head coach. That was Ryan Matthews

373
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: and it was around twelve point five. So I don't

374
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: know that Sanders is gonna break out because this is

375
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: what Peterson has done. And I know we've talked about

376
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he's never had a back like Sanders.

377
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: Sanders was usurped by a guy who a lot of

378
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: fantasy analysts have a lot of disrespect for, in Jordan Howard.

379
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling we're probably gonna be looking at a

380
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: backfield committee there in Philadelphia, at least into the foreseeable future.

381
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: Now let's move on to the Buccaneers. And you remember

382
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: back in Week one, when everyone in the industry was

383
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: all over Jamis Winston. You gotta start him, He's a

384
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: great play, he's gonna put up a big game, and

385
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: he's stunk. And then in the next week he went

386
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: out there and he stunk. Last two games, though, Jeff

387
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: over twenty Fantasy points has Byron left which finally unlocked

388
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston to the point where I can trust them

389
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: against bad Saints pass defense. Well, here's the thing, though,

390
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: I think that people manufacture arguments because they love to

391
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: hate certain players. There are players in the NFL that

392
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: people love to hate for fantasy purposes. And here's my

393
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: message to you. If you hate a player like Jameis Winston,

394
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: don't draft him because you're just going to hate him.

395
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston was not bad in Week two. His fantasy

396
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: numbers weren't good, but that was terrible conditions in that game.

397
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: He I thought he was just fine. He looked a

398
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: lot better than Cam Newton did in that game. Then

399
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: he goes out, so people say, oh, he wasn't that

400
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: good because the fantasy numbers weren't that good. He goes

401
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: out in week three puts up monster numbers. Oh no, no,

402
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: it was it was against the Giants, it was a matchup. Well,

403
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: he just lit up what was supposed to be a

404
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: good passing defense in Los Angeles. And here's the thing, Jamis.

405
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it's Byron Leftwich or or Bruce Arians

406
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: who's unlocking him. From week eleven on last year, he

407
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: was the number eight Fantasy quarterback that was one spot

408
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: ahead of Lamar Jackson over that same span of time.

409
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just Jamis takes a little bit of

410
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: time to settle down. But we're seeing this amazing connection

411
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: with a budding superstar and Chris Godwin, who now I

412
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: moved ahead in my projections ahead of Mike Evans, which

413
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: is I did not think I was gonna be doing

414
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: it that quickly, but it's the reality now. Plus you

415
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: have all these weapons Ronald Jones giving you upside out

416
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I think Jamis is a quarterback one

417
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: going forward. If you love to hate him, that's fine,

418
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: but he's gonna put up numbers, you know. I think

419
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: you also meant it to Ronald Jones too, because he

420
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: was a guy, and I think people were sort of

421
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: hoping that year two was going to mean year one

422
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: was as bad as it could get. So year two

423
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: almost almost had to be better. Um, But I know

424
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: even then people had their expectations tempered, and so maybe

425
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: having Jamie's step up and having Chris god wouldn't become

426
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: a playmaker really helps to open some things up for

427
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones too, so so that would be interesting. Uh,

428
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: speaking of opening things up the Browns offense at least

429
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: for one week, sort of look the way we had

430
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: all hoped it would. Uh does this restory your faith

431
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: in this group moving forward? Now? I sort of had

432
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: faith all along, But I think Baker Mayfield is a

433
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: cautionary tale for fantasy purposes. Every year, the analyst community says,

434
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: wait at quarterback. If you're in one quarterback leagues, Like,

435
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this podcast right now, you're probably

436
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: pretty well informed. We're not saying this to blow smoke

437
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: up your rear ends. We're saying it because, I mean,

438
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: look at some of the top producing quarterbacks right now.

439
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: Jacoby Pricett wasn't even drafted in most leagues and he's

440
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: out there with double digit touchdown passes. Wait at quarterback.

441
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: I understand the sexy names. People want a guy like

442
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield because it was the sexy name, But you're

443
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: probably pretty darned disappointed. In fact, a lot of folks

444
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: I've seen actually drop Baker Mayfield after probably drafting him,

445
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: what in the fifth round, sixth round wherever they drafted him.

446
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: I never really was down on them though, and in fact,

447
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, Marcus, I think this is a great opportunity

448
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: if you can get a trade done for Odell Beckham Jr.

449
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: This past week was a tough one. The Ravens prioritized

450
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: him as we would expect him to do, but he

451
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: was shadowed by Marlon Humphrey in this contest, and Marlon Humphrey.

452
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: This is two weeks in a row we've seen him

453
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: used as a shadow because he shadowed Sammy in week three.

454
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: He did a good job two catches on six targets

455
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: for twenty yards, so basically all of his production came

456
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: against Humphrey. I think bigger days are ahead for Baker

457
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: or for Baker Mayfield, for Odell Beckham Junior. Obviously Nick

458
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: Jobs a rock star, but I would buy low on

459
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah. I actually talked about that on NFL

460
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, where I've seen Baker Mayfield dropped in. I

461
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: would drop him if there's a hot waiver wire ad

462
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: and you already have another good quarterback, because so many

463
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: people have two good quarterbacks on their roster because the

464
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: position is still it's still relatively deep even with all

465
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: the injuries. UH, A quarterback who has not produced this

466
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: season as Kirk Cousins. Now, a couple of weeks ago

467
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: played the Raiders and everyone said, yeah, you know what,

468
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: this could be the game where Kirk Cousins is going

469
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: to have some some fantasy success, and his numbers were bad.

470
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Now he's got the Giants this week. The Giants defense, Uh,

471
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: you well know, Jeff not very good against the past

472
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: this season. But does that mean we can trust Kirk Cousins.

473
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: The Giants defense that features the reigning defensive player of

474
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: the Week, Genor's Jenkins. I mean, I get it, I

475
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: get it, but I mean that's a little bit of

476
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: a stretch NFL. Either way, Jenkins hasn't been that great

477
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: this season. Obviously, DeAndre Baker is playing over his head.

478
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Grant Haley's playing over his head in this secondary. These

479
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: three have given up a combined forty five catches at

480
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: a clip of seventeen point two yards burke catch and

481
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: five touchdowns in their coverage. If it doesn't happen this

482
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: week for for Feeling, for Days, well, Diggs was all

483
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: right last week, but for for those two and for Cousins,

484
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen. Now the good

485
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: news is Cousins did come out yesterday. He said, Listen,

486
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: I watched it back. I missed feeling on you know,

487
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: too many occasions. So at least he's recognizing the problem.

488
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: That's not correcting the problem, but at least it is

489
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: recognizing it. So I do think that they take a

490
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: step forward. They get the cheek code this week, so

491
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: I think they take a step forward and finally give

492
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: us the production we were hoping. Yeah, I think My

493
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: my concern is that they get ahead, they run the

494
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: ball in the second half. They abandoned the past. Cousins

495
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to do much. We've seen Cousins not perform well.

496
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: Uh maybe in part because they're just not throwing the football.

497
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: But Cousins, to me, is still a fade even against

498
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: the Giants. Man. I mean, like, I think there's better

499
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: options out there, like Jacoby Brissette, who we've talked about. Yeah,

500
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you there, but I'm not going to

501
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: fade the wide receivers that no, no, no, no, But

502
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: what wide receivers can have very good fantasy performances without

503
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks putting up great numbers. Yeah, I'm just hoping

504
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: that you know, the the squeaky wheel theory comes into

505
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: play with Adam feeling after after you know, he kind

506
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: of voiced his frustration last week that maybe things kind

507
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: of work out. Um at this point, you know, A J.

508
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: Green the timeline seems to kind of keep getting pushed back.

509
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: The Bengals understandably are in no rush to to put

510
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: him back on the field right now. And this team

511
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: looks pretty awful now they've lost John Ross for an

512
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: extended period of time. I mean, one, should people at

513
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: this point kind of cut bait on A J. Green?

514
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: And second is now, uh, do we just completely bail

515
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: out on anybody in this Bengals offense. I think Mixon

516
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: is still showing some positive signs. At least he's getting

517
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: the volume as well. It's just a challenge. You expected

518
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: so much more with Joe Mixon and you're just not

519
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: getting it right now. Tyler Boyd, I think you you

520
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: you stay the course with him, and then if you

521
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: are looking for a tight end, I mean, you know,

522
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: talk about cheek odes. We have Tyler Reiffers this weekend,

523
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: of course, So I say that right and c J.

524
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: You Zama is going to score to you exactly. You

525
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: know that's happening this week. But yeah, it's it's a

526
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: tough situation with a j Green. You'd hope that it

527
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: was going to be a September return now. I mean,

528
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: it's always frustrating when they don't just puff the guy.

529
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: I wish they would have just popped them. Then we

530
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: would have been clear on it. I don't know, you know,

531
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: if there are better options out there, I don't see

532
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: why you should be holding a j on a on

533
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: a bench spot. If you haven't an I R spot,

534
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: then just keep him there. But if you have them

535
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: on a bench but I'm I'm not hugely opposed to

536
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: cutting him. At the same time, you also waited this long,

537
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: so you might as well just see it through. Yeah,

538
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's sort of the point here, right,

539
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: It's like you you held on this long, you're sort

540
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: of pot committed at this point, and you know, the

541
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: last thing you want to do is put him out

542
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: there on the waiver wire. Somebody else snatches him up,

543
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: he comes back and plays, and then you got absolutely

544
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: nothing for your your draft capital there. So I don't know.

545
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: It's a tough spot for a lot of folks. Uh,

546
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: Jeff appreciate it. As always, working folks find you. They

547
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: are looking to get some more your content. Sure, absolutely,

Speaker 1: Beautiful a Jeff be good. We'll talk to you soon.

553
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Thanks Jeff Radcliffe for his time as you mentioned,

554
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: as he mentioned rather all those places you can find

Speaker 1: his work. You should go and check that out if

556
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: you don't already do that. Hey. By the way, a

557
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: piece of news that just came out as we sit here, say,

558
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: Kawan Barkley was seeing jogging at practice on Wednesday. I

559
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: know that he said he was hoping to beat the

560
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: original timeline of how long he will be out. Um, look,

561
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: he's not going to play this week and and I

562
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna play next week necessarily. But

563
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, look baby steps right, it's all positive.

564
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: It is all positive there alright. A Week five preview

565
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: got our big questions of the week, Fantasy gold mines,

566
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: Fantasy waste Lands, and some streaming options for you. So

567
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: we will start with the big question of the week,

568
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: and h this is something we we talked about on

569
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: Monday show, but I think it's worth bringing back as

570
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: we get closer to the weekend. How exactly do we

571
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: expect the Chargers to split up the backfield touches against

572
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: a Bronco run game run defense rather that is is

573
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: very very vulnerable, Like how they don't have Bradley Chubb

574
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: either coming out the edge. He's gone for the season

575
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: with an A C L tear. Uh, So the Charger

576
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: should be able to run the football. The question is

577
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: how do they break this up now that Nolvin Gordon's back.

578
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: I would think both are startable this week. I don't

579
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: think that's that's uh, you know anything that's that's a

580
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: shock to people because of what Eckler has done and

581
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: Gordon's track record. So I feel like you start both

582
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: of them, I think you could end up seeing maybe

583
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty split this week. Um, you know, maybe

584
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But um, at some point, whether

585
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, week five or or week six or

586
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: weeks seven, moving forward, Gordon's gonna end up taking that

587
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: job back and being the guy who's gonna average eighteen

588
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: and twenty touches a game, and Eckler will be the

589
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna average, you know, tenant twelve touches a game.

590
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: It's worked in the past for them, and so I

591
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for them. Now.

592
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: I get it. Eckler was really good, but Melvin Gordon

593
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: is the guy there. And I know I've said this

594
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: on the air, I've said it on the podcast that

595
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: right now, you know, the situation with the Charges in

596
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon hadn't really changed because he held out wanting

597
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: more money. What was offered he didn't like. The Chargers

598
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: are not going to offer him more money. What will

599
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: happen in is he going to be a free agent

600
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: or they going to franchise him? What? What's going to happen?

601
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: The bottom line here as though, that the Chargers are

602
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: probably going to get every single bit that they can

603
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: get out of Melvin Gordon in terms of touches from

604
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: week five on and then we see what happens is

605
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: sort of a similar situation to what the Steelers did

606
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: with Levian Bell when he had four hundred some odd

607
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: touches um. They just ran him into the ground, and

608
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: I feel like the Chargers are gonna really utilize Melvin

609
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Gordon to the best of his abilities and give him

610
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: a a lot of opportunities, uh from here on or Yeah,

611
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: that's sort of what I expect to And I think,

612
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, certainly for this week, I'm with you that

613
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be closely to a fifty

614
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: fifty split. Just you know. Look, I know Melvin Gordon

615
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: has been working out. I'm sure he's been staying in shape,

616
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: but it is different to be in game shape and

617
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and you know, to kind of handle the riggers of

618
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: a sixty minute football game. So I would think that

619
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: he may not have uh, the same workload this week

620
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: that we'll see going forward. So I think both those

621
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: guys are very and as you mentioned, I mean, this

622
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: is a defense that gave up the RB seven in

623
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: Week one. Josh Jacobs had a big game last week.

624
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette ran for all the yards I mean,

625
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so it's, um, it's

626
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: a good spot. It's a good spot for both these backs.

627
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Last last nine games, going back to the end of

628
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: last season, the Broncos have allowed either eighty rushing yards

629
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: and or a touchdown on the ground, So there are

630
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: fantasy points to be happy with this group. Um, the

631
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Niners are back after a by There was some buzz

632
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: that maybe Tevin Coleman could be back, although he was

633
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: not seeing at practice on Monday with the club. But look,

634
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: there are guys in play, right. That means we still

635
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: have to deal with you know, with that Brita, there's

636
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: still he most there's still Jeff Wilson potentially, which, if

637
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: any do you trust against the Browns this week? I

638
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: mean Brita would probably be the guy, but I mean

639
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: start him and sind him is out if you want

640
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: to go check it out. But I have Brita as

641
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: a sid. Browns are giving up fewer than four yards

642
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: per rush to running backs, and I mean anytime the

643
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Niners get inside the red or green zone, they're giving

644
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: the ball to Jeff Wilson and most are. It's playing

645
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: on third downs like it's it's this is a three

646
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: headed backfield committee that when the matchup is right, okay, yeah,

647
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean you know I'll roll the dice. The matchup

648
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: isn't great this week, so if I could fade Brita,

649
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean I'm into a lot of two flex leagues,

650
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of stuck. I may have to play them,

651
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to like it. Yeah, I think that's

652
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: kind of the big thing, right This is where we

653
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: are with forty Niners backs, like you kind of have

654
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: to play them because they all have scoring potential, but

655
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to be But the matchup just isn't

656
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: on paper, is not good this week, not at all. Okay,

657
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: So I talked a little bit about Jay Gruden's situation

658
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: in the quarterback deal in Washington. There will any of

659
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: those Washington players outscore the Patriots defense in fantasy? No, No,

660
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots are. I mean, they're the Patrick Mahomes of

661
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: fantasy defense. They're just ridiculous. I mean, we don't know

662
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: what's going on with McLaurin, and even if he does play,

663
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: have fun with Stefon Gilmour because that is maybe the

664
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: hardest matchup for any any wide receiver in the league

665
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: at this point. You know, Richardson was a disappointment last

666
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: week for Davis. Hasn't done much of anything. Adrian Peterson,

667
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, I mean, he'll get you your ten PPR points,

668
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: but he's not exciting. I mean, I think you're right,

669
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: and the Patriots defense is gonna is probably gonna outscore

670
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: all the Redskins this week. They I mean, they just

671
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: look there there quote unquote bad week this season was

672
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: Week one when they got you ten points. That was

673
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: their bad week year. Uh, there are other I guess

674
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: their second quote unquote bad week was fourteen points. If

675
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: you're getting ten to fourteen points from your defense every

676
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: we are smiling and they're giving you they gave you

677
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: a thirty seven and they gave you a twenty three

678
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: or twenty four last week, loving life. That was the case. Man. Okay,

679
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: So under our fantasy gold mines this week, the first

680
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: one that jumped off the page to me the Cardinals

681
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: going to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, mostly because

682
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: these defenses aren't very good. Um. I know we talked

683
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: about the Bengals offense being bad, but if there's ever

684
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: a chance with them, the sort of guess kind of

685
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: get right in some way. That's probably against this Arizona defense. Um.

686
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, after a decent first week, has really you know,

687
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: he's kind of tailed off a little bit. He's been

688
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: he's giving you like sixteen to seventeen it's not it's

689
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: not been great, right, it is because he's just not

690
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: They're not throwing the ball down field a whole lot,

691
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot of short throws out of this offense.

692
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like this could be a week where

693
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: he gets you, you know, eighteen nineteen twenty points because

694
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: just you know Bengals and Tyler Boyd. Boy Cynthia Friedland

695
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: was right on about him. I liked him a lot

696
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: last week, and he did not put up a good

697
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: line I think a lot of people did against the Steelers.

698
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: But you know, after four weeks, Arizona's defense giving up

699
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the third most fantasy points of slot receivers,

700
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: so Boyd should bounce back. Larry Fitzgerald is a good

701
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: bounce back player this week too. Against the Bengals. They've

702
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: given up three touchdowns of slot receivers uh and two

703
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: wide receivers have finished in the top thirteen against him

704
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. And Christian Kirk is a

705
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: little bit banged up in that game too, so we'll

706
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: see if he's out there, and if he is, so,

707
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: I think there's there's some fantasy points to be had

708
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: in this game. Despite the fact that neither one of

709
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: these teams are let's just say, the sexiest in the league.

710
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Not really, you know, And as as Jeff Radcliffe mentioned,

711
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, on paper, this this seems to be a

712
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Tyler Ifford game, which of course means you would think, well, no, right,

713
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's exactly because the fantasy guys are cruel.

714
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I will say this. Last week. You know, I was

715
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: listening to Serious XM. You know Bob Harris. I always

716
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: listened to Bob, and um there were I don't remember

717
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: who it was, but said, boy, this will distally play.

718
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: It's too obvious, it's never gonna happen, and so anyway,

719
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: nuts and I'm like, all right, do we move that

720
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: now to Effort? Is it too obvious? Is it never

721
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Well, I mean we'll see. But that's the

722
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing. You know, c j Usama could come

723
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: in there and and snake a couple of red zone opportunities,

724
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, Ifford's Ifford's a bus uh news

725
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: On Michael Gallup, Jason Garrett says he's gonna practice today.

726
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good. I was like, one last thing

727
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: on Tyler Effort, I actually kind of liked to potentially

728
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: against the Steelers last week, and I will say that

729
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: he got in zone targets. Yeah, he just couldn't catch

730
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: any of them. They weren't They weren't right. But I

731
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: see you work in Andy Dalton. I appreciate the effort.

732
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: Next time, we just need to execute a little bit

733
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: better Atlanta at Houston the like I said on Fantasy

734
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: Live earlier in the week, target the Falcons defense. That's

735
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: that's one thing we have certainly learned, which I think

736
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: is encouraging. If you have Deshaun Watson, if you have

737
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, DeAndre Hopkins, who have not been great the

738
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: last few weeks. So what is encouraging there. On the

739
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: flip side, that Houston defense has given up some points.

740
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a Matt Ryan bound, Matt

741
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Ryan had like three, but you don't have touchdowns. Um,

742
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: I had a fantasy team last week where I did

743
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: not have a touchdown. No one in my lineup, no one,

744
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: No one in my lineup scored a touchdown. Suffice to

745
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: say it didn't win that I got blown out. Oh

746
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: my god, No no touchdowns. Matt Ryan and right was

747
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: my quarterback. My running backs were carry On Johnson and

748
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. Uh. My my wide receivers were DeAndre Hopkins

749
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: and Juju. My tight end was Evan Ingram uh Where

750
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I tell you that team going into the season looked

751
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: really good. My flex was was MVS so I had

752
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: I had zero touchdowns and I got blown out. Speaking

753
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: of this game, though, Calvin Ridley has given you two

754
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: absolute stink bombs in a row after two good games,

755
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: and I would tell people to stick with him, you know,

756
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: this week because in Houston's first four games, their defense

757
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: has given up the third most fantasy points to receivers

758
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: lined out wide, which is where Ridley is running eighty

759
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: five point three percent of his routes. Obviously, Julio Jones

760
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: is active. I mean that's that's a no brainer. But

761
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: if you're in a in a league where you have

762
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: to flex two players or maybe your thinn wide receiver

763
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley and his seven point eight points in

764
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: the last two weeks is looking at you and you're

765
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: thinking sideways at him, I'd actually give him uh an

766
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and what could be a

767
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: high scoring game. Uh Momedson new has h I know

768
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: his re emergence Austin Hooper, Austin man Hooper. I know

769
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: I was sort of iffy on him, and I wasn't sure.

770
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't buy all the way in and

771
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe I should have. Maybe I should have bought in

772
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: all and well last week, I mean there was a

773
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: lot of you know, well, Ryan threw the ball a lot,

774
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: but he you know, he he had He targeted Freeman

775
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: a lot, he targeted Hooper a lot, and Ridley and

776
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: Jones didn't do much of anything. So they obviously didn't

777
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: stretch the ball, uh, and the offensive side of the

778
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: ball with any any sort of success. And hopefully that's

779
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: going to change this week. Yeah, you will see about that.

780
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 1: The other game that is a gold mine is easily there.

781
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: Uh Colts at Chiefs. You would think so, even going

782
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, and look, I know that the the

783
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense, you know, they were kind of held in

784
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: check by the Lions last week. I don't expect that

785
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: to happen two weeks in a row. On the flip side,

786
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette is off to a great start tin touchdowns,

787
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: two interceptions. He's the QB nine right now. Um, you know,

788
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm hope, hopeful, that t Y Hilton is back this week.

789
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: I know that Marlon Max said he should be good

790
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: to go as well. So in theory, this Colts offense

791
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: UH is going to be fully intact going to Kansas City.

792
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: They will need all those pieces if they want to

793
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: stay in this thing with the Chiefs. But this is

794
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: one fat I think there should be a lot of

795
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: fantasy Yeah, I mean this, and again, you know, hopefully

796
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: the fantasy gods, you know, smile upon us, because the

797
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: fantasy community is basically all getting on that Brissette bandwagon. Uh.

798
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: The only quarterback in the league to throw multiple touchdown

799
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: passes in every single game. Twenty plus points in two

800
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: straight games. Great matchup, uh, and in a game where

801
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: you would think game script would mean throwing the football

802
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: in the second half to try and erase a deficit

803
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: on the whole side of the football. And um, one

804
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: guy the Colts keep tabs on Marlon Mack. I think

805
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. Good matchup. The Chiefs are are

806
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: giving it up to running backs this year. But one guy,

807
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: you want to talk about living on the edge with

808
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: a player Eric Ebron will drive you nuts at the

809
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: same time as you will cheer him. Last week he

810
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: was awful and then he had that long touchdown catch

811
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: and he saved your bacon. And this week Kansas City's

812
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: giving up eight catches a game to tight ends eight

813
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: and if t Y Hilton doesn't play, which we we

814
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: won't know this is this is the Sunday night game. Um,

815
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he runs a guy that you could stream,

816
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: because what the hell else is out there? Right? I

817
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: mean so, but the question becomes him or Jack Doyle. Yeah,

818
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: I know Abron gets into the end zone more often.

819
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: I would say it's Ebron, but yeah, you flip a coin.

820
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy waste lands the first one we sort of talked

821
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: about it Buffalo, Tennessee. Uh, there's just nothing to like.

822
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess either one of the defenses, you

823
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: know if you have or you yeah, stream, that's about it.

824
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: But any of the offensive skill position players. There's nothing.

825
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: The Titans defense, for sure. The Bills defense, though Mariota

826
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: has not been turning the ball over, it's not so

827
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's a big part of it. Um, you know,

828
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of sacks here there. But I don't

829
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: know if the Bills are are a great play this week.

830
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, we mentioned there's not a whole lot to like,

831
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, Jacksonville, Carolina. We just saw um a report

832
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: that Gardner Minshew's you know, dealing with that knee a

833
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: little bit banged up, and Josh Dobbs could get some

834
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: first who is behind they made the trade. Yeah, that's

835
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: where Nick Foles got hurt. Uh yeah, Jacksonville Carolina. I mean,

836
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: because we know that the Jaguars, even without Jalen Ramsey,

837
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: who was still dealing with some injury issues or or

838
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: something something, they're gonna they're gonna get after Kyle Allen

839
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: and and for as good as he looked at first week,

840
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: at the start of the second week was not great. Ye,

841
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: not great. So I think that's gonna be a tough one,

842
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: which makes it difficult to start really any Panthers not

843
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: named Christian McCaffrey. Um, he's gonna get his. He'll figure

844
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: out a way to get touches there. But you know,

845
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: d J. Moore, Curtis, Samuel greg Olsen, all those guys

846
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: become really tough starts there. Chicago, say Chicago at Oakland's

847
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: played in London, but it is a home game for

848
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders. It's being played in London. First off, it

849
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: is the Khalil Mac. Yeah, I know, right, how many

850
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: have all of them? Like? I think it was Robert Mays,

851
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: who writes for The Ringer on Twitter made the point like, um,

852
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: can you imagine Khalil Mac being even more motivated to

853
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: be a house record? Yeah? I've been so far? Um

854
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: how many times does he want to look over at

855
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: John Gruden when Derek carr is sprawled out on the

856
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: ground beneath his legs, like, hey John, Yeah, you traded

857
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: me pal, how's that going for you? The other thing

858
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: that that we're missing out on, it's also the Eddie

859
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: Pinero nge Yes, anything we have. We have a Kicker

860
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: revenge game and play folks An Pinero with you know

861
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: who was a Raider for a brief time last year. Look,

862
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna have a really hard time moving

863
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,959
Speaker 1: the football against against this Bears defense. Are there any

864
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: Raiders not named Darren Waller that you would start? No? Right,

865
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean I guess Jacobs. I mean maybe you have

866
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: to flex him, but you don't have to like it.

867
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: I might be able to know. I can I talk

868
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: my way into Tyrolle Williams Like maybe, but that's really

869
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: a home run play, like you're hoping that that he's got.

870
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: He's got a touchdown in every game, but his yardage

871
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: totals besides Week one have not been good. Yeah, i'd

872
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: be fading him. And I think he's a little banged

873
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: up as well. So yeah, it's it's tough to make

874
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: any any Raiders plays. I mean, I guess you can,

875
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, you can sort of talk about some of

876
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: the Bears. You know, maybe maybe this is the week

877
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: that David Montgomery finally gets going. We said that I'm

878
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: gonna I know, I'm gonna go down with this ship.

879
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: I just know that I have, I have. I liked

880
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: him coming into the year too, man, I mean just

881
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: not getting a job done. Like I mean, he's a

882
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: risk reward flex starter. I mean, let's put it that way.

883
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: And also keep in mind, the Raiders defense this year

884
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: has held Philip Lindsay, Damien Williams before he got hurt,

885
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: Leshawn McCoy, and Marlon mact if you were then forty

886
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: four rushing yards each one of those guys. So the

887
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: writers haven't been just garbage against the run. They actually

888
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: haven't been that bad. So they have been pretty bad

889
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks, but I'm not starting Chase Daniel. No talking

890
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: me into that one. There's there's no way. Although I mean,

891
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: like you know, two QB super flags. You know, maybe

892
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: you take a chance on hand. But so I guess

893
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: you know you've got Ellen Robinson potentially, yeah, not touching Burton.

894
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not getting any red zone up. Like

895
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, can I start, I'm like, no,

896
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't do it. No, I can't. So yeah,

897
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: so I I don't expect a ton of fantasy points

898
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: from this. Plus, like just the London games generally have

899
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: been they've been mediocre for fantasy. They haven't been terrible,

900
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: they haven't really been great, you know. I mean I

901
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: still I still claim that there's probably some little kid

902
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: in London who thinks Marcedes Lewis is like exactly exactly,

903
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: like he doesn't understand the big deal with this grunk

904
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: character because Marcedes Lewis had three touchdowns in a game

905
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: for the Jaguar. And you know what when the NFL,

906
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, releases the schedule, right, I mean, like this

907
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: this looked like it could have been a fun matchup.

908
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, Antonio Brown, you know, on the Oakland Raiders.

909
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, like that could be a little bit

910
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: of fun. And the Bears have an up and coming team,

911
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: and now this is one of those games where like

912
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: you're if you're a fan in London, you're thinking, uh,

913
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: maybe should have just stayed home, you know. And I'll

914
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: say this, the good news is at least they're playing it.

915
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: It's uh it's ten a m. Pacific one one pm

916
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: East Coast time, because you know, before they're find that,

917
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: which I know they did that with the Rams and

918
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: that sort of stinks that for West Coast fans you

919
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: gotta get up at six o'clock in the morning to

920
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: watch your team play that that's not great. So at

921
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: least this time it is at a it's a one

922
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 1: of the more traditional NFL windows streaming options at quarterback.

923
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette is the first one that comes to mind.

924
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: I know he's probably he's actually out there and a

925
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: lot of leagues because you know a lot of teams

926
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: I know don't roster multiple quarterbacks. You have too, So

927
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: Jacoby Prisett's out there to take on the Chiefs. Uh

928
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. We talked about him, you know, not being great,

929
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: but this is a chance for him to maybe step

930
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: up and play well. I put Chase Daniel with a

931
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: question mark just because Raiders, but I think you've got

932
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: to really be sort of hurting to get down that

933
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: far Chase Daniel. I don't know, do we think Andy

934
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: Dalton the matchups there? Bro I mean I have him

935
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: right now. I mean things could change, but I have

936
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: him in my top twenty. I think he's like nineteen

937
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: or twenty quarterback. So um, you know, I get it,

938
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: like we always think back to the most recent performance

939
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: how awful it was, and it was really bad. But

940
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: this is at home game against the Cardinals, So you ki,

941
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to play him over some of

942
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: the big name guys. Brosetta is a much better option. Uh,

943
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: Kyler is a much better option. But I mean there's

944
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: people out there, you know who had your brees, who

945
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: had been Robbisburger. They're looking at you know, Teddy Bridgewater

946
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: and made it, Mason Rudolph. Well, I don't want to

947
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: start any one of these guys. So you know, Andy

948
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: Dalton could be one of those options for those in

949
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: dire straits. Uh yeah, tight end Tyler Eiffert. We have

950
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: mentioned at uh you know, so I put Jack Doyle,

951
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: but you can go Jack Doyle slash Eric at Braun

952
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: exactly kind of you know, kind of pick and choose

953
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: that one. I have Jimmy Graham on this list. No,

954
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 1: but I think so it's smart because at this point

955
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like Davanta Adams is gonna play. I

956
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to play. So when Adams was

957
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: out of the game last week, Graham was. He was

958
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: a popular target for Aaron Rodgers. Now he dropped a

959
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: bunch of passes. Um, but that's all we're looking for

960
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: right now. I tied in his opportunity, and I think

961
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: Graham was probably one of, if not the most added

962
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: tight end on NFL dot com. So I feel like

963
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: that that that thought process is sort of flowing through

964
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: the industry where people are thinking, well, I mean it's

965
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: not like he's great. Imagine this is Jimmy Grahamer talking

966
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: about but um, the opportunities could be there, the red

967
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: own opportunities could be there, and um, I think that's

968
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: why people are starting out rolling the dice with him. Yeah.

969
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: I think I think you know, you're talking about recency bias.

970
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think part of the reason I'm hesitant.

971
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: As I broke up this morning, I'm scrolling Twitter. I

972
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: see a tweet where it's it's an interview with Brian

973
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: Gudacoon's the Packers GM, and basically the gist of it

974
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: was that he feels like a couple of his big

975
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: mistakes as GM were one signing Jimmy Graham and then

976
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: bringing him back for a second year. Um, you know,

977
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: and I know that there are corners of fantasy Twitter

978
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: that are pounding the table for Robert Tanyan to start

979
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: getting snaps and targets. Uh you know, so that it is.

980
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: I think it's just me reading something this morning that

981
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: has me a little bit spooked. That's all. Uh streaming defenses.

982
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: I didn't put the Titans down here, but the Titans,

983
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: especially if Matt Barkley is going to start, which is

984
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: what it looks like right now. So Titans are one eagle,

985
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles definitely one against the New York Meetropolitans. I

986
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: know Sam Donald is back, He's he's running. He can't

987
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: lift right, like, he can't actually lift weights, he can

988
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: kind of run. I think he started to throw a

989
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: little bit, But I'm like, I wonder if he's lost

990
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of weight. He says he has it now

991
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: because he said, like the whole time he was quarantined

992
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: in his apartment that basically he was just housing junk foods.

993
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Like remember when I had mono, I dropped a ton

994
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: of weight. Yeah, so apparently he hasn't done any weight.

995
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: I lost any weight. Rather, he did have an interesting

996
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: quote earlier in the week that says, you know, my

997
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: spleen is going to do what it's going to do.

998
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like saying, bro, dude, yeah, I know, but

999
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: one thing that you don't want it to do is

1000
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: explode when you get hit by a defensive end. So

1001
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's back working with the team. It doesn't

1002
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: sound like he's going to play this week. So it's

1003
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: at least one more week of Luke Falk at the quarterback.

1004
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: And that is good news for those of you who

1005
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: were able to pick up the Eagles defense. But I

1006
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: will say this, you know, Crowder guy dropped in a

1007
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: lot of leagues like Donald's gonna be back, you know,

1008
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Some Yeah, and say Chris Herndon

1009
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: to alright, Chris Herndon is a guy that if you're

1010
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: hurting a tight end and a lot of us are.

1011
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: They'll be back next week, maybe back in weeks six.

1012
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: You can you can pick him up and play. So

1013
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: four four games suspension they had to buy last week,

1014
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: so he'll be back in So when he's back, he's

1015
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: he's a guy you can add and play. There you go. Um,

1016
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: let's see the the Texans defense. I know that the

1017
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: Falcons have been throwing the ball and even playing from behind,

1018
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: but man, their offensive line gives up sacks. Matt Ryan

1019
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: is always under pressure and then eight eight giveaways. I

1020
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: think that something like that. The thin met Ryan has

1021
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: six or seven interceptions, which is he's either he has

1022
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: either matched or is close to matching what he had

1023
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: from last year exactly. So there's a chance for that

1024
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: the Texans defense to kind of make the Hey, I

1025
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: put the Niners down like that one. Even though the

1026
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: Browns look good last week, they still have offensive line issues.

1027
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: The Niners pass rush has been pretty good, and look

1028
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: they're shutting down running back to the first their first Yeah,

1029
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: giving up about thirteen points to running backs so far

1030
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: this season. So the Niners, you know, maybe a sneaky

1031
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: streaming I like that, man, that was one of the defensive.

1032
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: If I couldn't get like Tennessee, or if I couldn't

1033
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: get Philly, I was I was going after the Niners. Yeah,

1034
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: so that's one to kind of to keep in your

1035
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: back pocket there. So I don't know is that it.

1036
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: Did we miss anything? I feel like we can. I

1037
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: don't know, man, any news breaking anything like that, I mean,

1038
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: anything else to discuss. I've seen nothing new. Also, you know,

1039
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: as we sit here and record this at currently fifty

1040
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: eight in the morning, a Pacific time tweet, that's still

1041
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: not working. Figure it out. Yeah. Uh. Donald going through

1042
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: practice and keeping and keeps increasing his cardio but as

1043
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: you said, unlikely to uh to be in there uh

1044
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 1: this week. So yeah, yeah, I also I am trying

1045
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: to increase my cardios. It's hard when you're like working

1046
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: twelve hour days and you just go home and then

1047
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the kin, you know, the

1048
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: significant other, and then you just want to go asleep.

1049
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: Me and Sam Donald, Man, we have a lot more

1050
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: in common than I guess I realized. All right, that's it,

1051
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: we are done. We appreciate you listening and downloading us.

1052
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: Always tell two friends to tell two friends rate review

1053
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: and remember common sense is like the odorant. The people

1054
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: who needed most never use it. You see it on Monday,

1055
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah wo wo IM con't go. I'm cont
