1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, m G. Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like neo in the matrix.

4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: We are joined as we normally are, by the specialists

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: on the other side of the glass, and Riser hides

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: up his back. Welcome back to the chair. Captain's good

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: to see you again, but he got tired of dealing

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: with his kids. Crafty come back today with ours. We

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: appreciate you, man, but we got a plenty of two

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: by I'm also joined here to my left by Michael

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: left Florio, which we didn't mention. The song's arm brace

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: like it's been a week. Great, Yeah, I I've shed it.

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: I've started a stupidly probably shooting around again before I

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: got okay from my doctor. But I'm back. I don't

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't need to wear it. Yeah, it's nice. It's like,

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, no more bionic hand. It's really cool. So

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: we gotta play to talk to you about on this Wednesday.

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Lots to do in the fake football space. How worried

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: should we be about? Lamar Jackson will ask the question

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: of Travis Kelsey is still a first round fantasy pick,

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: and we will preview every single game of the week

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: four teams late. That's right. We're even gonna throw in

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Monday as a bonus. Not that we won't talk about

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Monday on Monday, but we're gonna talk about a little

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: bit today too, because we're just in a giving mood

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: like that as we hit Week four teams. So let's

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: get it started, though, as we always do with some

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines, we will start just across the street from

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: where we are sitting right now. News from the Chargers

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: happened earlier in the week. Keenan Allen placed on the

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen reserve list. Now he is reportedly vaccinated, so

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: he can still potentially play. He doesn't need to negative

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: tests twenty four hours apart. But let's go on the

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: assumption that maybe he is not going to be available.

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Who ben if it's the most if Keenan Allen is

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: not out there, I think it would be Mike Williams. Uh,

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: because is early in the year when Mike Williams was thriving. Yeah,

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: they were taking some deep shots with him, but they

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: were really using him in the short to intermediate routes

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: and allowing him to to do what he does, get open,

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, pick up some yards after the catch. Their

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: usage with him kind of changed as the season went on,

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: as we saw Keenan Allen get more and more utilized.

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: The last couple of weeks, it's kind of been like

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: a long catch or or nothing for Mike Williams. So

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll get more volume. I think he'll go

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: back to getting usage similar to how he did early

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: in the season. So I think if Keenan sits, Mike

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Williams is a must start this week. I definitely agree

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: with that. I think, you know what we have seen

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: with the way they're using him the last few weeks,

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: getting him much more involved. Uh, it's not quite what

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: it was the first few weeks of the season when

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: he was like a top two or three wide receiver,

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: but it's getting closer to that. So I think he

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: probably is the answer. I will say, though, if you

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: were in a deeper league or you're just feeling maybe

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: a little bit contrarian, especially in a DFS potential situation,

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Dighton seems like he might be the next man

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: up in this In this offense, there we saw him

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: get a couple of targets last week, so I don't

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: know how much you're gonna love him for seasonal leagues,

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: but like I said, maybe deep leagues, maybe DFS. Jalen

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Guyton a name to to keep in mind for you

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: in New York. Bad news for Corey Davis. He is

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: going to undergo season ending core muscle surgery. So that

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: puts a cap on Davis's season. We had big hopes

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: for him, and he had a couple of bright spots

69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: during the year, but nothing really consistent, so he's gone

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: for the year. Elijah Moore right now is listed as

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: being day to day with an injury. Are there any

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: other Jets wide receivers you can trust? No, not not

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: willingly at least I think if you're in like a

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: deeper league, you could use Jamison Crowder just because volume,

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Like I mean, he's gonna be in the slot. He's

76
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna get you like six seven targets of games something

77
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: like that, But he doesn't bring a lot of upside.

78
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: So really with the Jets, it's it's Elijah More, it's

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Michael Carter if he returns, and that's it. I really

80
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be excited to play anyone else. That's kind of

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: how I feel into there. There's just nothing here and

82
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I look, I knew this was gonna

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: come back to bite me. I remember saying back in

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: August that, Hey, I'm kind of excited. I'm kind of

85
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: intrigued about this Jets offense. Like I don't know what

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: it could be, but maybe it'll be something fun. Um,

87
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: it's been okay. I think that's probably the best way

88
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: to describe. It's been okay. There. Yeah, I mean it

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: all starts with the quarterback. When when you put up

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: better numbers with three backups than you're starter, that that's

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: an issue. That is definitely an issue. So we'll see

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: how it goes the rest of the year. Hopefully Elijah

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: More is available this week uh to get back in

94
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: the lineup, get back on the field. We'll see how

95
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: that goes as the next days go along. Believe it

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: or not, there are still buys in Week four. Team

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: four teams on to buy. This is the last week

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with this madness and then

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: we are back to all play for the end of

100
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: the year. So the teams that are out Indianapolis, Miami,

101
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: New England, and Philadelphia, so some of the notable players

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: on a buy at quarterback, No Carson Wentz No to

103
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: a song of Violoa. No. Jalen Hurts at running back.

104
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: This is the big one. Jonathan Taylor unavailable for you

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: this week as he's on to buy. Miles Gascon, Damien Harris,

106
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders some of the other running back names that

107
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: will be missing. Michael Pittman at wide receiver, along with

108
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle and DeVante Smith and uh a few tight

109
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: ends of notes Mike the City, Hunter Henry and Dallas Goddard.

110
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: So make sure that you have all those guys out

111
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: of your lineup in Week fourteen. This is this is one.

112
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: It's it's incredibly late, but also this is the week

113
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: before the playoffs start in a lot of leagues. So

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: if you are on the bubble trying to make the playoffs,

115
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: this is the worst. If you're on the bubble, you've

116
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: got Jonathan Taylor who's been carrying you. This is the

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: worst timing I play in a league with the research

118
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: staff here, Mark and I am fighting for a playoff spot,

119
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: and my top two players this year have been Michael

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Pittman and Johathan So schedule makers, if you were listening,

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and we know that you do, right, Like, please keep

122
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: fantasy in mind next year. No, no Week four team buys.

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: We we need our players this week. We could just

124
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: cram all this in from like say six through twelve

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: or something like that. Like that would be the best

126
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: way to do it. We can make that happen. We

127
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: can do the math, we can figure it out out.

128
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: All right. We're taking a look at three big questions

129
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: heading into Week fourteen, So we will start in fact,

130
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: this is just put out there. This is an all

131
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: quarterback edition of the Three Big Questions. We will start

132
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: in Seattle, where Russ has a really big cooking all

133
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: that well lately, did have a pretty nice week last

134
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: week against the forty Niners, got you nearly twenty fantasy points,

135
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: but until then it had been a struggle. So after

136
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: what we saw last week against San Francisco, are we

137
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: ready to slide back into Russ's kitchen again? Reluctantly yes,

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: largely because of who they're playing. They're playing the Houston Texans,

139
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: And I mean, if he can't get the job done

140
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans, what are we doing here? But

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: even still like a normal Russell Wilson against the Texans

142
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: for me would be like a borderline top five quarterback.

143
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: I haven't ranked at the QB eleven this week, so

144
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: he is a QB one I think someone you could

145
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: start in a twelve team league, but still not feeling

146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: super great about him and and the pieces around him.

147
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: It's more about the matchup, You're right, I think under

148
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: normal circumstances in past years, we're talking about this matchup

149
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, we'll get maybe on a good day,

150
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: we'll get thirty points out of Russ. Right now, I'm like, hey,

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: if I can get nineteen twenty points out of Russell Wilson,

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm feeling okay about it. So I am willing to

153
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of jump back in on this, but I'm with you,

154
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: it's not It's not the same level of excitement, uh,

155
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: that we had for Russell Wilson earlier in the year. So, uh,

156
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: you can start him just temporary your expectations. I think

157
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of the best way to go about that.

158
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of tempered expectations, Uh, it has not been great

159
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson over the last few weeks. In fact,

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens offense as a whole has been sputtering, struggling

161
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: to even get to twenty points in a ballgame. For Lamar,

162
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: it has not been particularly great. So what is your

163
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: level of concern for him right now? I'm not all

164
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 1: that concerned about Lamar just yet. Like I know, last

165
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: week and the last couple of weeks, and he did

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: blame the illness and said like he didn't have his

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: full strength two weeks ago. But I don't know. I

168
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: still trust them, mar Jackson, He's still running, He's still

169
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, he still has Mark Andrews and Marcus Brown

170
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: there catching the ball from him. So again another one

171
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: that not quite as high as I normally have him.

172
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: He's my QB seven. I have him behind Taysom Hill,

173
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: very high on this the Jets. But I still think

174
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: if you have Lamar and you've been riding with him,

175
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: you could continue to do so. I just know that

176
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: what is the last his last three games, he has

177
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: been below eighteen Fantasy points, which is a little bit concerning.

178
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: And the rushing numbers again, let's let me put this

179
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: into some context. Right, he has had fewer than seventy

180
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards in his last three games. Uh, it's it's

181
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards. It's sixty eight yards. It's fifty five

182
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: yards for most quarterbacks. That's great. For Lamar Jackson, it's

183
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, you're talking about a guy who's averaging

184
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: about the almost seventy rushing yards per games. So for him,

185
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, to be at thirty nine for a week

186
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's not great. So but the ceiling

187
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: is always high. That that's the thing. Like, you bench him,

188
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna go off for like dirty points. You're gonna

189
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: hate yourself, right exactly, you know that's always think. I

190
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: look at it as you know what if I take

191
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: a star player and I have him in my lineup

192
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: and he does poorly, it's because well he's because he

193
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: had a poor game. Right. If I take a star

194
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: player and I put him on the bench and he

195
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: goes off, well it's my fault and I'm the idiot, Like, yes,

196
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly how that works. Uh So that's you know,

197
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what you should take away from this Slamar

198
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: Jackson conversation. Don't be an idiot. Um, we're gonna get

199
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: to our game people's in just a bit. But our

200
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: last big question a really interesting matchup down in Tampa.

201
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: This week between the Buffalo Bills and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

202
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: You got the top two quarterbacks in fantasy football facing

203
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: off against one another, and Josh Allen and Tom Brady.

204
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: So who do you think has the bigger game in

205
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: this one? Uh? And I know I'm maybe talking to

206
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: somebody who's a little bit biased, but uh, I will

207
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: trust that you will be impartial here. Uh, Josh Allen,

208
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Who you got? I have these two ranked

209
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: second and third amongst quarterbacks, but I have Josh Allen

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: at two for a couple of different reasons. One because

211
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: when I was weighing the two, I was like, well,

212
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Alan could give me more with his legs, So that's

213
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: a slight edge there. And I also think the matchup

214
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: at least on paper. I know the Bills are without

215
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: Tred White now, which changes things, but the matchup on

216
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: paper is more favorable for Alan. The Bucks are great

217
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: against the run week against the past, whereas the Bills

218
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: secondary is the strength of their defense and and we

219
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: have seen lately that you can run on them. So

220
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: because of that, I have Alan just higher. But I

221
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: think both of them are slam dunk plays. This week

222
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: when we were filling out the rundown for this, and

223
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: I was looking at this question, which, by the way,

224
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: I came up with. I actually like I went back

225
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: and forth a few times. I think I wrote Alan

226
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: and I deleted it. I would Brady and I deleted it.

227
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: And when Alan and so, I finally settled on Tom Brady.

228
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: But that I think goes to show how close it

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: is between the two of them this week. Uh you know,

230
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: I know that obviously on Monday night the Patriots didn't

231
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: test Buffalo secondary. They threw the ball three whole times. Uh.

232
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be the case this week.

233
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't there to be weather like that

234
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: this week down in Tampa. Uh. So I do think

235
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: Brady is gonna throw it a little bit more. And

236
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: so I think we're gonna get a test of what

237
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the bill secondary is without trade Avious White. Uh you know,

238
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: And and where do you go? Who do you who

239
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: do you focus on? Is it Mike Evans? Is it

240
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin is a gronk? Uh? You know, Leonard Fournette

241
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: can catch the ball out of the backfield. So while

242
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Brady is not going to give you those points with

243
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: his legs, he does have a lot of guys to

244
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: spread the football too, and so that's but again, like

245
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: I I literally went back and forth on this several

246
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: times before I made a decision, and I mean Belichick

247
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: and Brady ruining the Bill seasons like old times. More

248
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: the more things change, the more they stay at the

249
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: same time is a flat circle. It really really is.

250
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: All right. That gets us to our game previews. We're

251
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna go through the entire Sunday and Monday, actually in

252
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Thursday slay the games too. Let me just start there,

253
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: so we will start with the aforementioned TNF matchup. It's

254
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers heading to Minnesota to take on the Vikings,

255
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: and again that both these teams really need. The Steelers

256
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: got a much needed in last week. The Vikings still

257
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: uh kind of smarting after giving up the first the

258
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: win of the season to the Detroit Lions, but both

259
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: of them very much in the playoff race. But for

260
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, what should we do here? I think you

261
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: could stream Tyler Conklin this week. It looks like Adam

262
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Dealing is not gonna play. He's suffered a high ankle

263
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: sprain and with it such a quick turnaround. But you

264
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: see their nine targets last week, second on the team

265
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: behind only Adam only justin Jefferson, and Conklin has shown

266
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: us that he does have some upside this year. He

267
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: can be used in the red zone and I think

268
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: with Adam dealing out, he is going to get a

269
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: good amount of volume. I could see him getting seven, eight,

270
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: nine targets again this week, and I like going to

271
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: him a little bit more than k j Osborne because

272
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: it's tight end. You know, it's because of the position.

273
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: So because of that, I think you could stream Tyler Conklin.

274
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: I I agree, and I think the positional part of

275
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: this makes a lot of sense because they could put

276
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: up identical stat lines, but you're getting it from a

277
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: tight end. It means a little bit more. Yeah, you

278
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: know that that four for thirty seven and a touchdown

279
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: feels a lot better coming from a tight end than

280
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: ever seen. And the rest of that game I felt

281
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: was pretty straightforward, like you know who to start on

282
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: each of these teams by now? Pretty much? Uh, now

283
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: get to that aforementioned Bills versus Buccaneers game. We talked

284
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks and and similar to Steelers and Vikings,

285
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: We know a lot of the guys that you're gonna

286
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: start on both sides of this equation, but I will

287
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: say that a guy think you really have to have

288
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: in your lineup is Dawson Knox and he continues to

289
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: be a pleasant surprise at tight end. I know he

290
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: had a couple of a big drops, was involved in

291
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: a couple of key plays late in that game on

292
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night that certainly didn't go Buffalo's way, but for fantasy,

293
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: what we like is that he was actually involved. He's

294
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: a guy that Josh Allen is not afraid to go

295
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: to in key spots. They're not afraid to go to

296
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: down near the end zone. He remains one of the

297
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: tight end leaders in touchdown receptions. And you know, the

298
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: Bucks weak spot, as we've said repeatedly this year has

299
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: been the secondary, but especially against the tight end position.

300
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: So Dawson, Uh, I mean, I'm not completely surprised he's

301
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: doing this. I guess I'm surprised that he's doing it

302
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: to this level. But it's been great. Yeah. And and

303
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean you could throw out like Monday Night's game,

304
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: because you could throw that out for everyone who played

305
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: it basically, But besides that, he's been reliable more often

306
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: than not this year. And even like you said on Monday,

307
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: like the opportunity was there for him, he just he

308
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: dropped it. He dropped it. But but we love the

309
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: fact that he's getting those shots. I mean, that's that's

310
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: really what we care mostly about. All Right, it is

311
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: time for a break, but when we return, we keep

312
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: rolling with our Week fourteen game previews, including the renewal

313
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: of a long time rivalry in Washington. That's next on

314
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Well, I say it's every

315
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: single week of this time. You should follow us on

316
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: TikTok uh NFL Fantasy. First of all, on TikTok because

317
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: that's the kind of the big handle. But there's this

318
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: like this thing behind me with me in me on

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: dancing like a lunatic because one of my terrible fantasy

320
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: teams actually gotta win. I was, I was about to

321
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: be going seven, but thankfully Michael Pittman had a late

322
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: touchdown against the forty Niners and uh help me not

323
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: be winless this year. But follow me and Marcus Grant

324
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: on TikTok because that's fun. Also, like the real show

325
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: actually happens between the breaks. Florida, and I had a

326
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: revelation in the last break that we both as kids

327
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: thought Arson was an actual person and never understood why

328
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: the authorities never arrested whoever Arson was. Um. So yeah,

329
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: my family still makes fun of me for till this day.

330
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look the news. I was like, hey, Arson

331
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: is suspected, and I'm like, if they know who it is,

332
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: they should just go arrest the dude. And this guy

333
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: can get away every time? How does Arson always escape? Like?

334
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Figure it out? Anyway. Uh, let's get back to the

335
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: game previews and enough of this nonsense. We will start

336
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys heading to Washington to take on

337
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: the football team one of the longest, most heated rivalries

338
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. For fantasy purposes, what should people know?

339
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: I think you could start Michael Gallup in this one.

340
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean Gallup is I know, he's the wide receiver

341
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: three for them. On paper, He's might be the best

342
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver three in the NFL. We saw that on

343
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: display last week with that Catchy had in the end zone.

344
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: But Amari Cooper dealing with COVID even if he is

345
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: back because he had the ten days, I still think

346
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: in this matchup where Washington is very weak against the past,

347
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: but not you know, they could stop to run a

348
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: little bit. And Zeke is banged up right now. I

349
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: think we just see a lot of passing, So I'd

350
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: be looking to get all three of the Cowboys receivers

351
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: in my lineup this week. Yeah, they spread the ball

352
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: around a lot. And I've always been a fan of

353
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. He just right now is on a roster

354
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: with two guys that are slightly better than him. I'm

355
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna get more opportunity. Curious to see where he may

356
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: end up next year because that could have a lot

357
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: to do with what his fantasy value is. Two over

358
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: to the Ravens and the Browns. We don't have the

359
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Eagles to pick on this week when we're looking for

360
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: tight ends because they're all want to buy. But the

361
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: next best option might be the Baltimore Ravens. So for

362
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: that regard, I'm gonna say a sleeper is Austin Hooper

363
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: this week. I will tell you that at first I

364
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: actually had David and Joku in this spot, but he

365
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: has been placed on the COVID nineteen reserve list and

366
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: may not be available for the Browns this week, so

367
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: we're just gonna pivot to Austin Hooper. I know he

368
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: hasn't made particularly great but he did have one nice

369
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: game earlier this year where he got you about twelve

370
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: and a half points. Um. I think he can do that,

371
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: maybe even a little bit better against the Baltimore Ravens

372
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen. So I would say this Baltimore has

373
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: gotten better against the tight end position then after the

374
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: first you know, six or eight weeks of the year,

375
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: but they're still very vulnerable and I think, you know,

376
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: this might be one of the rare weeks you can

377
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: get Austin Hooper in your lineup if you're into that

378
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Um. Forty Niners at the Bengals. This

379
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: another big matchup because the Niners are trying to bounce

380
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: back after their loss last week to Seattle. The Bengals

381
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: just getting thumped giving up forty one to the Chargers,

382
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: so they're trying to sort of lick their wounds as well.

383
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: What is your fantasy take on this one. I think

384
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: you could start te Higgins and I know, like last

385
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: week we were a little bit worried about him because

386
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: it wasn't the best matchup, but the volume has just

387
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: been great, like fourteen targets last week eight or more

388
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: than three of the last four. And what I especially like,

389
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, they weren't taking any shots down

390
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: field with him. All of those were going to Jamaar Chase,

391
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: and it was making Tee Higgins kind of like, uh,

392
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: a little like a safe floor type of receiver but

393
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: without a lot of upside. But since Week seven, he

394
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: has multiple targets of twenty plus air yards in every

395
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: game but one, so they're starting to take downfield shots

396
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: with him. We know that he is their preferred red

397
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: zone option, and he has more targets as of late

398
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: than Jamar Chase. So I think Tee Higgins is actually

399
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals wide receiver one right now, and Chase is

400
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: like that high upside play that you use, would you start?

401
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: I would only because I feel like his upside is

402
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: too high, like he just needs one long catch and

403
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: he's a great fantasy day, you know. Yeah, you know.

404
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I saw something on Twitter that the counting all the

405
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: drops that I think he leads the league in air

406
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: yards left basically left on the field with some of yeah,

407
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: and but a lot of it has to do with

408
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: the depth of the target because he's there their downfield guy.

409
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: So you drop a past forty yards downfield, like, yeah,

410
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna look a little bit worse uh

411
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: than some than you know, maybe if I don't know,

412
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro drops the past or something like that, um

413
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: falcons at the Panthers and I am back on the

414
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Cam Newton train. I know the last time we saw

415
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Cam it wasn't particularly great. Uh, you know, he was

416
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: getting bench for p J. Walker. The Panthers are getting

417
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: drilled by the Miami Dolphins. But some things have changed

418
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: since then. When they've they've had a buy and so

419
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: they're back and they're hopefully a little bit more rested.

420
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: But there's also been a change at offensive coordinator. Joe

421
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: Brady is out. We talked about Jeff Nixon uh coming

422
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: in to take over the O C job, but Matt

423
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Rules saying he wants to run the football more, and

424
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason Joe Brady has gone, is

425
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: that they weren't running it as much. So here it

426
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: is you've got a quarterback who his best attribute is

427
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: his ability to run the football with an offer that

428
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: wants to be more ground based against a defense that

429
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: has struggled against the run. So all of the factors

430
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: seem to be coming together for Cam Newton to have

431
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: a pretty big day. It might not be with his arm.

432
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't really care. As long as he's picking up

433
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: yards and he's scoring touchdowns. That's the most important thing.

434
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: So I think this is a week we can sort

435
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: of get back on the Cam Newton train a little bit. Yeah.

436
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: I picked him up in the league myself this week

437
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: because I think he's gonna run a lot, like you said,

438
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: and it's just it's such a good matchup absolutely, So

439
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: there you go. So we got some starts and sits

440
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: for you on this show. But if you want more

441
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: starts and said, you should check out the Stardom Sindham Show,

442
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: which is sort of appropriate, the money duns, funny duns

443
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: and give me checks in a Packers jersey, which I'm

444
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: sure made Adam Rank thrilled. Uh. Let's check it out

445
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: every single Thursday, four pm Eastern in the NFL family

446
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: of apps, whether it's the Fantasy App, the NFL app,

447
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, or YouTube. It streams as I mentioned,

448
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern. But if you don't catch it there

449
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: on Thursday, you can catch it on the main All right,

450
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: let's suck the Rams and Cardinals big game on Mundane

451
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: night football. Specifically, let's talk about Kyler Murray. Are he

452
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: is right there? No held on? You don't see that

453
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: a whole lot in football cars. Kyler Murray with all

454
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: his hair and all of its glory. He looks sort

455
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: of like he should be on tour with Silk Sonic. Anyway. Uh,

456
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: dude was great last week coming back from injury, and

457
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: so certainly happy to have him back in our fantasy lives.

458
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Let's spin it to next year, because we know at

459
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: this point you're starting Kyler Murray as long as he's

460
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: healthy and on the field. But we get to next year,

461
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: we're getting the August early September. Will he be the

462
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: QB one? Will he be the first quarterback off the

463
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: board next year? I think so, But I also think

464
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a two man race. I don't think

465
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: there might not be a consensus, And it was a

466
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: question this year between the I think it's gonna be

467
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: between Kyler Murray and Josh Allen because Alan last year

468
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: was the QB one. Right now, he's a couple of

469
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: points behind Brady I think Brady is too old to

470
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: go first overall again next year, but these two are

471
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: also first and third and points per game amongst quarterbacks.

472
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. The only knock with him has been health

473
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: Like last year late in the season to play kind

474
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: of fell off when he heard his shoulder. This year,

475
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: he's missed like three games already, So that's the one

476
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: negative on him. But when he is out there on

477
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: the field, he is I think, unquestionably like a top

478
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: two three, maybe even the best quarterback for fantasy football purposes.

479
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think he the ceiling is so

480
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: high for him right because, uh, we know how effectively

481
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: he can run and when he's when he actually is

482
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: running a lot. Uh, you know, he is on par

483
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson in terms of what he can do there.

484
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: But I think at this point it's it's hard to

485
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: dispute he is a better, at least more efficient passer

486
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: than Lamar. And it's I don't want you guys telling,

487
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, saying that I'm saying Lamar sucks at throwing

488
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: the football. It's not what I'm saying. I'm saying Kyler

489
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Murray is probably better at it than Lamar. So you

490
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: combine those two things, it's it's peanut butter and chocolate,

491
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: two great taste to go great together. So I think

492
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: that's the reason we'll be talking about Kyler as the

493
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: QB one. I think, Look, I think he's maybe not

494
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: quite the passer Josh Allen is, but he's more of

495
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: a runner. I think it all sort of evens out.

496
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: And so I'm with you. I was on team Kyler

497
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: over Allen this year. I probably will be next year

498
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: for that act reason, just because I think he's you

499
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: could trust his rushing a little bit more. I agree.

500
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: I agree, all right, Raiders at the Chiefs, we're gonna

501
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: talk about Travis Kelsey, who right now is still the

502
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: tight end one, even if it's not quite as great

503
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: as we wanted it to be this year. So because

504
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: it has sort of let us down, and because at

505
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: some point somebody's going to close the gap on him

506
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: at the tight end position, is Travis Kelsey is still

507
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: a first round pick next year? No, I think you

508
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: can make the case that he is still the tight

509
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: end one, but I would not take him in the

510
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: first round. I mean, right now, he is in jeopardy

511
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: of losing five years in a row as the tight

512
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: end one. He is still the tight end one right now,

513
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: but Mark Andrews is only ten points behind him. Like

514
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: that is very close that George Kittle would be potentially

515
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: like there if he didn't miss so much time. And

516
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: the thing is, the reason he was a first round

517
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: pick is because we were saying, you get top five

518
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver numbers, but you get it at the weakest

519
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: position in football. Well, this year he's giving you top

520
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: fifteen widers. Like in his points per game, he's comfortable

521
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: to like Mike Williams and like that even at the

522
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: tight end position. I don't think that's getting the job done.

523
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Plus he's getting up there in age. I don't even

524
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: think this year is on Travis Kelsey. I think it's

525
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: on like the Chief's offense being broken. I still think

526
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is a very good player, but he's just

527
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: not being the difference maker to the level we anticipated.

528
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I would agree. I think, you know, I think you

529
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: see him drop down probably mid to late second round

530
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: next year. Um, you talk about him sort of being

531
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: the wide receiver fifteen. Uh, that's still really good for

532
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: a tight end, but it's not first round in your draft.

533
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: Good really for anybody. So I think you're gonna see

534
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: him kind of taken around, uh some of those kind

535
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: of wide receiver twos. Then you start to see some

536
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: of those guys come off the board in the second

537
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: or third round. So I'm with you. I still think

538
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: he's the tight end one. I think he's the first

539
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: guy drafted at that position. Um, but but he's not

540
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with early who rivals him because I'm trying

541
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: to think, like, is it Kiddle? But Kidd'll miss his

542
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: time every years time. I mean, Waller took a step back.

543
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: This year, Pitts didn't live up to know. Pitts has

544
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: has sort of been a disappointment, although again that's probably

545
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: not all his fault. I mean, I guess Mark Andrews

546
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: is probably the name. But even that, yeah, he doesn't

547
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: have the upside, Like, no, I don't think. So we're

548
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: back to sort of muddling around at tight end again

549
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: next year. But at least we're not at least're not

550
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: telling ourselves that lie that the position is deep. We

551
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: know better than that. Now, Okay, let's get back to

552
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: our game of previews. We will start with the Saints

553
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: and the Jets and uh, I don't know. Offensively, this

554
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: game could be kind of a mess, um, But you

555
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: have a name that you've locked in on here. Yeah,

556
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: I would start Taysom Hill here. Listen, Gardner. Minshew just

557
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: went out last week and put up good numbers against

558
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: this Jets defense. And the thing is the Jets struggle

559
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: mightily against the run. That's what I care about with

560
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. Whatever he gives me passing is a bonus.

561
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: You know, Like last week he threw four interceptions, still

562
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: scored over twenty Fantasy points because of that hundred rushing yards.

563
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: And I said, like, there's not gonna be four interceptions

564
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: every week. And people are like, well, there's not gonna

565
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: be a hundred rushing yards every week. I'm like, well,

566
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: he does get the Jets this week very much. Could be. Plus,

567
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: he's good for at least forty rushing yards each week.

568
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: I think he's always a threat to score a touchdown.

569
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: I had him as that my QB six this week,

570
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: and I would be starting him anywhere I have him,

571
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: that's you know, and I've got him in a couple

572
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: of places. I actually went and took a flyer on

573
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: him and the Scott Fish Bowl way back when whenever

574
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: they draft about June July or something like that. UM

575
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: didn't think it would take this long for him to

576
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: become a factor. But here we are. Uh so say

577
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: takes some hill back in our lives. Uh Jaguars and

578
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: the Titans, which test some I guess interest in the

579
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: a f C South end of the Jaguars pretty much

580
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: out of things, but the Titans still looking to make

581
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: a move in the the fan or the NFL playoffs,

582
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: I should say. I would say, though, a sleeper is

583
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in this one. And I know it has

584
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: not been the rookie season that a lot of people

585
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: anticipated for Trevor Lawrence, but he's had some bright spots

586
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: and he said he's done some things. You know, He's

587
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: had a couple of games where it's like, Okay, I

588
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: see the lights sort of coming on and see if

589
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: seeing if he can get some things done. Meanwhile, the

590
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Titans have continued to struggle against opposing passing games all

591
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: year long. So this feels like an opportunity for Trevor

592
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: Lawrence to kind of get things going, get get some momentum,

593
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: maybe build on some things for later on in the season.

594
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: Now I know there's a lot of weirdness happening in

595
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville with Urban Meyer and James Robinson and uh player

596
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: personnel issue. I don't I don't understand. I don't care.

597
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: I just watch Trevor Lawrence go out and have a

598
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: good game. And I think it could happen this week

599
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: against the Tight, against the jack or against the Titans.

600
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: I'll get it, right, I get the Tannessee Titans. I

601
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: think you can do it. And look, I think this

602
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: is more of a super flex kind of two QB situation.

603
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd start him in just a

604
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: regular one QB league, but you know there's something there.

605
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: I think completely um alright, Seahawks and Texans, we talked

606
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about Russ earlier said we're willing to

607
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: to pony up and sit at the table and let

608
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: Russ cook again who's getting served potentially by him. I'm

609
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: getting a lot of questions of people should continue to

610
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: start DK Metcalf or not, And I think this week

611
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: you can start DK Metcalf partially because they're playing the

612
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: Texans and I think that they're going to look to

613
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: to kind of force feed DK the ball. But you

614
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: look at last week in particular, and eight targets you

615
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: see there, eight or more and three of his last

616
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: four games. I mean that's ties for his high since

617
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: week uh five on Like, I don't know why they

618
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: stopped throwing him the ball, but the last week he

619
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: had two targets in the red zone a hundred and

620
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: thirty air yards was his second most all year, his

621
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: most since Week three. So they threw him three targets

622
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty more air yards there. They they realized, like, hey,

623
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: he's DK metcalf. He could be used in the red zone,

624
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: he could be used down field. So I think last

625
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: week was the usage we want to see. I think

626
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: the production comes in a good matchup this week with D.

627
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Google hunting, Like it's

628
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: not your fault. No, it's not your fault. You know,

629
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: DK is out there doing this thing. They're just not

630
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: throwing him the football, and I can't figure out exactly why.

631
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: All Right, we got one more break, but when we

632
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: come back, we are rapid up our game previews and

633
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: we're hitting you with some Week fourteen sleepers, including a

634
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: pair of former first round picks. Stay tuned for more

635
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: of the NFL Fantasy Football Show As we get ready

636
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: to wrap up this show still got a few more

637
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: game previews for you. We will start with the Giants

638
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: at the Chargers. We talked at the top of the

639
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: show about Keenan Allen being on the COVID nineteen reserve

640
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: list and we wait to see whether or not he

641
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: will be available for this one, but we also talked

642
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: about it already. Mike Mike Williams feels like a must start.

643
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: He was very much a start anyway, but if there's

644
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: no Keenan Allen, that makes him even more of a

645
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: must start, because it does seem like without Keenan a

646
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: lot of those extraal targets may go in the direction

647
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: of Mike Williams. They're starting to connect with him more

648
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: down the field. He looks like the big play guy

649
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: we saw at the beginning of the season, and the

650
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Giants have just been kind of miserable defensively against wide receiver,

651
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: so the matchup extremely good there. When when he said

652
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: must start out there, you were gonna go Jake from Yeah,

653
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: because you know Jake from would you google him? Jake

654
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: from State Farm comes up right before the actual the

655
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: actual player. Yeah, I did, I started, I started doing it.

656
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: Right now, and it just auto filled in there from

657
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: with with that guy, which, by the way, he's like

658
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: super Muscily Jake from the New j Like he's wearing

659
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: s mediums and stuff on TV. It's weird anyway, Lions

660
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: at the Broncos. I shout out to Detroit getting their

661
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: first win of the season last week against the Minnesota Vikings.

662
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: That's right, air horns and money guns for the folks

663
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: in Detroit. They got the Broncos this week, so we'll

664
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: see if they can make it two in a row.

665
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: But for our fantasy purposes, what's happening here? I wrote

666
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: start Javonte Williams yesterday on the homework, but I just

667
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: must start. Even if Melvin Gordon plays, I think Javontay

668
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Williams there's right, Like there's no going back at this point.

669
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure if Melvin Gordon's active, he's going to

670
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: get utilized to play a bit, But you can't go

671
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: complete like I don't. I don't see it going back

672
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: to how it was before. Last week. Javonty Williams shown

673
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: us that he is very explosive. We know he could

674
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: break tackles, but he showed us that he could do

675
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than that, and a lot of

676
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: the times. Once these rookies get going, it's hard for

677
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: coaches to go back to the vets. So even if

678
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon plays in a great match up here against

679
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: the lines, I think javon Say Williams is a must

680
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: start RB one. I agree, but I think either either

681
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: those running backs is set up for success in this one.

682
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: So if Gordon's back, you can play him. Javontay Williams.

683
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: We're super excited to see things happen for him last week,

684
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: so you're definitely playing him. UH. Last game on our slate,

685
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: the Sunday night football game between the Chicago Bears and

686
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Some good news just broke for

687
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: the Bears as we were doing this show, and that

688
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: is that Justin Fields has been medically cleared to play

689
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: and named the starter. He has been dealing with a

690
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: rib injury that's kept him out of the last few games,

691
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: but it looks like he is good to go for

692
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: Chicago on Sunday night at lambeau Field, which is just

693
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: just in time to UH to face his team's owner,

694
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: Andrew or Aaron Rodgers. So good luck for that. But

695
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I will say be aware of David Montgomery this week,

696
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: just because the backers are playing well offensively and they

697
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: look like they're in a mode where they can score

698
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot of points which could impact the game script.

699
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: On top of that, glean Bays run defense has been

700
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: pretty good as well all year long, so it just

701
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: seems like a bad situation. I'm not going to tell

702
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: you to sit David Montgomery because he still has upside

703
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: and you probably don't have any better options on your bench, um,

704
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: but I just I don't love the matchup this week.

705
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm wrong, It just doesn't particularly look great as

706
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: for justin fields um deeper leagues two quarterback leagues? Would

707
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: you would you consider starting him after the layoff here?

708
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: Only in deeper two quarters? Like for me, he's gonna

709
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: be outside like the top fifteen. Like I think I

710
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: would use him ahead of Trevor Lawrence, who was someone

711
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: that we have spoke about as a sleeper in a

712
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: good matchup, But that's kind of the tier he falls

713
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: in for me. The Packers are really tough defense, but

714
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: thank thank God for our eyes right, this is just

715
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: a more entertaining game now on side to night with

716
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: Justin Fields in it than with Andy Dalton. We just

717
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: we just want to see the guy play man like

718
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: we've seen. We've seen the Andy Dalton Show for a while.

719
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: Let's see what the Justin Fields Show has to offer.

720
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for our Week fourteen sleepers. So

721
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: starts off, Mr Floria, I'm going with Mark has Valdez

722
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: scantling here MVS on Green Bay and before thereby he

723
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: had nineteens targets in their two prior games ten and nine.

724
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: So consistent volume like that, look you see here. He's

725
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: a great downfield threat. We know that, We've always known

726
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: that about MVS. But the volume is what has my

727
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: intention now because green Bay, without Robert Toney and and

728
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: and with other pieces banged up, they've been searching for

729
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: someone outside of Davanta Adams in this passing game, and

730
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: it seems like the answer has been right in front

731
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: of the faced this whole time. They didn't get Odell

732
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: like we thought they would, and since that point, MVS

733
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: was like, you don't need O b J. You have MVS.

734
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: I got you, and he's been playing really good football.

735
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: He has been playing good football and it would be

736
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: nice if we could settle on another receiver there besides

737
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. That's been the hard part the last couple

738
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: of years, not being able to figure out whom I

739
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: got Clyde Edwards Delaire. And you know, last year we

740
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: talked about this. Last year c H was sort of

741
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: a victim of our high expectations. This year we lowered

742
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: our expectations, and we've still been disappointed by what we

743
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: have gotten out of Clyde Edwards Delaire. But the matchup

744
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: is really good. The Raiders have struggled, uh, And it

745
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: was last year against the Raiders where c H had

746
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: one of his biggest games. In fact, the only two

747
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown game of his career came against the Raiders

748
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: last season. So things seem to be aligning. I know

749
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: it's still a little bit worrisome because Darrell Williams hasn't

750
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: completely gone away in that offense. But this feels like

751
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: it could be a decent C E H game. Um,

752
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: who else do you have the sleeper this week? Year? Abdullah?

753
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: This is going a little bit deeper, I know, And

754
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: he has been utilized more when Christian McCaffrey was healthy,

755
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: he was like the the primary backup. He was getting

756
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 1: pass game usage over Chuba Hubbard. I still think Chuba

757
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: Hubbard that was going to be the lead back, but

758
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: I think we see a combination of the two of them.

759
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: We could see Abdullah used in the passing game, and

760
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: when the Panthers fired there O c this week, they

761
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: were like, listen, we want to run the ball. We

762
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: want to run the ball thirty and thirty five times

763
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: a game. I don't think that's just gonna be Chuba

764
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Hubbard carrying that load. Obviously, Cam Newton will run a

765
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: good amount, but I think a mere Dula could sneakily

766
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: see like ten to twelve touches this week, so in

767
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: a good matchup against the Falcons, I think that makes

768
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: him a Sleeperula is one of those guys who just

769
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: keeps popping up on rosters and you're like, oh, he's

770
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: still in the league. That's cool. Was a long time,

771
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: long time ago, man, Tell me about it. Well, speaking

772
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: of a long time ago, once upon a time, the

773
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: Kwan Treadwell was a first round pick for the Minnesota Vikings.

774
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: He has bounced around since then. He this is his

775
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: third team in three years, that team being the Jacksonville Jaguars,

776
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: but he has some sleeper potential this week because for

777
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the Jaguars don't like throwing to Marvin Jones

778
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: and or leaviscas Chanal. They keep trying to find another option,

779
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: whether it's Jamal agnew balance the Kwan Treadwell. He's led

780
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: this team and targets in back to back games and

781
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: has a very good matchup. I talked about Trevor Lawrence

782
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: as a sleeper this week, so is La Kwan Treadwell

783
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: because he seems to be getting a lot of that

784
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: volume in the passing game. So this could be another

785
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: week we're riding the wave. This was the thing we

786
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: thought was gonna happen like in twenty fifteen, sixteen, whenever

787
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: he was drafted. But you know, sometimes you have to

788
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: wait for guys to develop. Apparently, Abdullah and Treadwill are

789
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of the pointing Spiderman, gifted, like the Undertaker, like

790
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: popping out of the gift. Like if you com merge

791
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: those two things, that's what these two play. That's what

792
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: a mirror Dula and le Kwan Treadwell are. Never thought

793
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: we'd be talking about them in the year of our

794
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football warde. If you want more sleepers, though I

Speaker 1: you ever want to see Kimmy Checks salty, you should

809
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: have watched a couple of weeks ago when she was

810
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: just all just hot and bothered about Antonio Gibson and

811
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: then he ended up having a good game and and I,

812
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, I was on Mac Jones and he had

813
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: a good game. He had a good game on Monday too,

814
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: where he had almost a perfect passer rating. So maybe

815
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna find a player that I really

816
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: need to have a big week. I'm just gonna talk

817
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: down on him on Sunday and hope that that motivates

818
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: that player, uh to come out and have a really

819
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: big game during the day. All right, Uh, and the
