Speaker 1: will spotlight some big games and we'll take a look

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: at some players that may start playing prominent roles as

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: the second half of the season goes on. But of course,

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: as we do every week, here we take a look

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: at the big injury news, and there is some big

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: injury news in the last forty five minutes. And let's

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: kick things off here with Darren McFadden. Fadd do you

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: saw the report out of Oakland? Oakland? Right now? There

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: are sources that do not expect Darren McFadden to play

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. This is a very friendly matchup against the

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Denver Bronc is more friendly in the passing game for

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, but no Darren McFadden. It looks like it's

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: gonna be Michael Bush who will get the carries. And

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Michael Bush is probably the best handcuff and fantasy football,

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: and if you drafted Darren McFadden, hopefully you grabbed Bush

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: in the late rounds. I have Darren McFadden in a

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: couple of leagues and I do have Michael Bush. Thankfully.

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: If McFadden is out and Michael Bush gets to start,

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: he is going to be a top fifteen Fantasy score

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: among running backs this weekend. Yeah, you know what I

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: like about Michael Bush is that, and Elliot, I'm gonna

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: steal one of your lines you always say is about

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: having opportunity. And even when Darren McFadden is playing, Michael

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Bush gets ten touches a game, somewhere between the between

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: the five or six in the running game, four or

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: five in the passing game. So the fact that he

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: already gets these touches tells me there's no problem with

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: doubling that and getting into the twenties. When it comes

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: to Michael Bush. For McFadden, I I totally agree, and

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: it's the reason why Michael Bush is not going to

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: be available in most people's waiver wire waiver or just

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: available period. But the one thing about McFadden that I

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: wonder about is what will his effect be on Carson Palmer.

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is Palmer's first start, and you reference

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: that it's a friendly matchup, but if there's not much

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: of a running game threat and Denver can play in nickel,

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: then that's gonna adversely affect Palmer's numbers because again he

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: hasn't played and uh, not to quote Adam Rank here,

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: but if he's been pounding beers at what was it

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Taco Hunt? Who fished Taco? Then you have to wonder.

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: We mentioned it on NFL Fantasy Live. It it's worth

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: going out and picking up Palmer. But if McFadden doesn't play,

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: I worry about Palmer's productivity. I would too if it

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for the fact that he's going against the team

65
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: that's given up the most points to quarterbacks and fantasy

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: football this year. And you know, yeah, okay, it might

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: that hurt things a little bit, but still I'm expecting

68
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: a Carson Palmer day that's near twenty points. Well, that's

69
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: a lot to ask, I would I would be very

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: happy with getting fifteen or sixteen points from Carson Palmer.

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, he did have a couple of extra weeks

72
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: there to get more acclimated with the offense and have

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: a little bit better report with some of his receivers.

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Although the NFL now rules with the with a bye week,

75
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: they have to be away from the facilities for four

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: straight days, so we'll see what happens. But if I

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: needed a quarterback this week and there wasn't much left

78
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, Carson Palmer was there. I think

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: he is worth a roll of the dice, just like

80
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: you said, Jason, based on that matchup. All right, let's

81
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: get to the stay in the a f C West

82
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: and talk running backs. Here, it looks like the San

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers are going to be giving all the carries

84
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: to Mike Tilbert this week. He's likely coming back from

85
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: his concussion. Curtis Brinkley had a nice game last week

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: in relief of Ryan Matthews, who got hurt, but he's

87
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: suffering from a concussion as well. Reports out of San Diego.

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Acy from the San Diego Union Tribune says they

89
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: don't expect Ryan Matthews to play on Sunday. So, Elliott,

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: you're loading up on Mike Tilbert, you're loading up on

91
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Can you expect the big game from Mike

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Tilbert getting all of a sudden, He's gonna go from

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: being inactive to getting twenty some odd carries on Sunday. No,

94
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: And and and to me, you know, Mike Tilbert, We've

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: talked about him so much on NFL Fantasy Live on

96
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: NFL Network, and I just want to read you these numbers.

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: Forty seven carries, a hundred and sixty three yards and

98
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. That's Mike Tilbert's line for the season. Okay,

99
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: A hundred and sixty three yards and three touchdowns. It's

100
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: much ado about nothing. I I'm avoiding Mike Tilbert at

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: all costs. Obviously, with bye weeks and whatnot, it's hard

102
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: to avoid some of these guys that you would like

103
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: to avoid. But I have no confidence in him whatsoever.

104
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, I love you, Harrison, but there's no way

105
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: I am not playing Mike Tilbert if he is the

106
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: only running back in at offense. Ryan Matthews is hurt,

107
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: clearly a big question mark. They also had Brinkley who

108
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: suffered a concussion in that contest. Jacob Hester's banged up.

109
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: And if Mike Tilbert could see eighteen to twenty two

110
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: touches a game and score me twelve fantasy points if

111
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: they get into the goal line area, he's getting the

112
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: football and nobody else is. So I actually think Talbert

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: as the loan sort of guy there in the backfield

114
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: is a very good start this week. And let me

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: respond to that, not to speak out of both sides

116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: of my mouth. If I'm gonna look at a positive

117
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: of playing Tibert you have to think that the Chargers

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: are going on to slow down the Packers attack, and

119
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: the way to do that is to run the football.

120
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: So if Talbert is actually healthy and can handle the workload,

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: then yes, I could see rolling the dice on it,

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: being that they're playing the Packers. I actually think the

123
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Packers are a good matchup if you have Mike Tilbert.

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: But Mike Tilbert the player, forget the matchup for now.

125
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Mike Tilbert the player, He's done nothing to me. He's

126
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: averaging three and a half yards to carry. To look

127
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: at his receiving yards Elliott over two thirty, Yeah, he gets.

128
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: I think he's the second. He has the second most

129
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: reset options for running back out of the backfield. My

130
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 1: concern with Tilbert is yeah, and I agree with fabbs.

131
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: I I play in this week, especially with the bye weeks,

132
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: and you look at some of the running backs we're

133
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: talking about here, But you know, how is his stamina

134
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: gonna be? How is he gonna be midway through the

135
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: third quarters? He he I could see Mike Tilbert having

136
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: a day where the first half, the first two and

137
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: a half quarters here he is. He's got fifteen carries

138
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: for nineties seven yards and a touchdown. It's like, oh

139
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: my god. And then he winds up with eighteen carries

140
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: for a hundred and three yards, like worry about his stamina.

141
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: But still, I think he's a guy. I think he's

142
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: got you gotta play this week. It's because he's the

143
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: only guy. Gary Anderson is the only other guy there. Hey,

144
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: you're talking to somebody that completely got I mean, I played.

145
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: I had to play Danny Woodhead. I had to play

146
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Dexter mccluster, so I I understand the need. I'm just saying,

147
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: if you're not forced to play Tilbert, I don't bench

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: a guy that's been somewhat reliable for me to play Tilbert. Now,

149
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: if I'm rolling against, you know, Mike Tilbert versus Dexter

150
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: mccluster and my flux, or Mike Tilbert versus Danny Woodhead,

151
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: or Mike Tilbert even versus alone Carter, than yes, I'll

152
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: take Mike Tilbert. But if I don't have to make

153
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: that kind of decision, I'm just saying I don't have

154
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence, and nothing out of you with

155
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: my Gary Anderson reference really nothing. Well, I was, you know,

156
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: I had to admit I was kind of thinking of

157
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the kicker and not not the Jerry curled. Do you

158
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: remember the run he had against the Dolphins when he

159
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: jumped in from like the five yard man the flip

160
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: that was amazing. Now let's talk about the elephant the

161
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: ruin when it comes to the San Diego Chargers, and

162
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: here's Philip Rivers. Rivers statistically through for three sixty nine,

163
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: did not get in the end zone through a couple

164
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: of picks, had a big fumble that we've all talked

165
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: about all week long. But fantasy wise, fans, are you

166
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: believing that Philip Rivers is back? I mean, he's had

167
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: big weeks, He's had a couple of down weeks, and

168
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: now he is coming off three sixty nine? Is he back?

169
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Where was he? Is he back to being? He still

170
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: he was stunk on Monday Night three. I mean, so

171
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: to me, he's he's still not back. Um. The matchup

172
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: is good. The Packers in the top ten in terms

173
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: of allonging the most fantasy points of quarterbacks this season.

174
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: But I still wonder is he healthy? You know, I've

175
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: seen some rumors and reports out there that, uh, watching tape,

176
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: he was wincing when throwing some of the some of

177
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: his passes against the Kansas City Chiefs. If I have Rivers,

178
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: unless I've picked up a real good replacement, I'd start

179
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: Matt Castle, for example, over Philip Rivers this week. But

180
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: if I don't have that option, I'm playing Rivers. The

181
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: matchup is good. It's almost like c J two K

182
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: not as bad because Johnson has been just dreadful. But

183
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: Rivers is a guy who drafted probably third, fourth, fifth round.

184
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: You have to sort of play him unless there is

185
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: something else out there, like Matt Castle for example. Just

186
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, yeah, and the thing is, I agree

187
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: about him being hurt, and he answered questions about it

188
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: this week Elliott and quarterbacks that are good don't have

189
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: this kind of drop off. They're pretty consistent throughout their career.

190
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: We think we've seen Philip Rivers the first four years.

191
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: This guy's potentially a Hall of Fame quarterback. So I

192
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: have to think there is something with him because his

193
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: passes are sailing, his passes are short, his decision making,

194
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: he's not getting the ball there in time. It's a

195
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: lot of things that Philip Rivers has never had happened

196
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: to him. Now has he done it with him? Without

197
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates yeah, with him without Vincent Jackson. Yet now

198
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: he's got a running game. He's done it throughout his

199
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: career when he's had nobody to throw too, when he's

200
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: had good guys to throw too. So I really think

201
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: this something you watch Philip Rivers, you watch a lot

202
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: of tape on him. What do you see from him

203
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the last few weeks? I feel a guy that's like

204
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: a guy is pushing the ball, and he doesn't have

205
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: continuity on offense either. The rotating guys in and out

206
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: of their Patrick Crayton was their best weapon in the

207
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: second half against Kansas City. If you watch that game,

208
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: there's two out of three things you're playing into Philip

209
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 1: Rivers hands. I think as far as having a good

210
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: fantasy game, one is that the Packers past defense hasn't

211
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: been that good. They get interceptions, but they give up

212
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: big plays. That plays into your hands if you're rolling

213
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers. The other thing that plays in your

214
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: hands is what if the Packers get up thirty to fourteen,

215
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be throwing the ball. The thing that doesn't

216
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: play into your hands is the fact that I believe

217
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers will try to control the clock. I don't

218
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: think they want to get into a shootout with Green Bay,

219
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: and usually that means less past attempts for your fantasy quarterback.

220
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Either way, I mean, I agree with Fabs. You know,

221
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers looks like he's hurt. And by the way,

222
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: if you knows whatever, FABS is going to disagree with me,

223
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: always says Harris, and I love you, but you know

224
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: he's about to pummel my argument. Have you I just

225
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: realized is that? But even if we differ on Mike Tilbert,

226
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: I I we agree on Philip Rivers, and I think

227
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: to your point, look, this guy has been one of

228
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the NFL certifiable since two thousand six,

229
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: pretty much since the day he got inserted in the

230
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: line up and Breeze left. He's been great. And you

231
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: and a Fab said you've got the investment in him.

232
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: You probably invested a third round pick in Philip Rivers.

233
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: It's very hard to sit your third round pick unless

234
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: you're one of those dudes that happened to get Cam

235
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Newton and you're just rolling with Cam Newton every week,

236
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: and Cam's off this week, and and and in that case,

237
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: that's not even a good example. But unless you're somebody

238
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: that got lucky, you know, then you have to play

239
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: your investment. Well, I'm going back and forth this week

240
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: because I'm going I have Rivers and Tebow, and you

241
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: know Tebow's coming up Rivers, But that's what I'm going

242
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: to do. I'm going with Rivers this week. I like

243
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: the match up a little bit better than Tebow. Is

244
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a wild card, even though

245
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: you know I love Tebow and he's gonna you know,

246
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: as long as in the lineup is gonna get you

247
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: get your fifteen points. Problem, Why do you not like

248
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Tebow this week? Because you have no No, he's actually

249
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: as a guy that I would start this week if

250
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: I didn't have of one of these elite, big time

251
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks or in a quarterback with a really good matchup. Uh.

252
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: He's still in my top fourteen at quarterback this week

253
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com and my rankings again. Last last year,

254
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: huge game against the Raiders from a fantasy perspective, over

255
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty points. In five starts, he scored twenty points or

256
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: more four times. He looked horrible last week horrible. Broncos

257
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: looked horrible. Offensive line didn't do in any favors, he

258
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: still scored almost fourteen fantasy points. I'm not an apologist

259
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: for Tim Tebow, but the guy does score points. I'm

260
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: not I have him in in a couple of my

261
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: leagues through my legs. I'm benching them in every league

262
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: because I have a better option. But the thing that

263
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: worries me is that does John Fox pull him in

264
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: the third quarter if the Broncos are getting smoked and

265
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: he's frustrated with him. That's the one thing that I'm

266
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: worried about. Even if Tebow's playing good statistically from a

267
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, if the product on the field as allows you,

268
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: like it was against the Lions, does he get pulled?

269
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: That's the question you have to ask ask yourself. And

270
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: if you've gone all in on Tim Tebo, or you

271
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: picked him up knowing he's that fantasy stud, you gotta

272
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: you gotta go. Fantasy beats reality, and that is the

273
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: first time John Fox gets the opportunity, he will pull

274
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Tebow and he will not play anymore. It'll be Brady

275
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Quinn the rest of the way. Maybe they go back

276
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: to Kyle Lorton, but you can tell this organization is

277
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: not sold on Tebow. As being part of their future,

278
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: so they will pull him right away. So don't think

279
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna start Tebow every week the rest of

280
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the way, because this is kind of where he's at.

281
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: He's a guy that every week is holding onto his job.

282
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: And a bad week this week fifteen fantasy points. Not

283
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: he's sitting on a bench. So if Tebow is a

284
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: pretty good fantasy score, which he's proven to be even

285
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: though he's awful in reality, and Philip Rivers were saying,

286
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: you have to play with your investment, would you guys

287
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: consider rolling a dice on Josh Freeman over either one

288
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: of these guys. I like Josh Freeman this week. He's

289
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: had pretty good games against the Saints in the past.

290
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know that Legarrett Blunt coming back is

291
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: going to be ready to have that kind of workload

292
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: to be carried the ball, even though he said, hey,

293
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: I want to be the only guy to carry the football.

294
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: There's nobody else there to carry the football, so la

295
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Garret Blood is kind of making an empty threat. But

296
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready to get that workload. And

297
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: you know he threw fifty one times last game. Josh Freeman,

298
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: I like Josh Freeman all this week. I do too.

299
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: He is in my top ten at quarterback this week,

300
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: ahead of Roethlisberger, ahead of Matt shob and yes, ahead

301
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: of Tin Tebow. In his two games, his last two

302
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: games against the Saints, he's combined it through for five

303
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns, no interceptions. Sometimes guys just have

304
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: that trend against certain teams, and so far in Freeman's

305
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: short career, he's been successful against the Saints. So I

306
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: think it's very feasible that there are people out there

307
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: that drafted Rivers that have someone like Freeman as their backup.

308
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Would you start freeming over Rivers? I would stick with

309
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Rivers because of the matchup. I really would. And you

310
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: know what, it's sort of a similar situation to what

311
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: we had with Chris Johnson last week. We said, you

312
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: know what, you have to play Chris Johnson. He's playing

313
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: the Colts. They couldn't stop Jason Smith from running for

314
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: a hunting yard and guess what they did. They held

315
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: him to next to nothing, and Javon Ringer is now

316
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: sort of a committee back with c J two K.

317
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: If Rivers can't do it against the Packers, who have

318
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: really given up a lot of fantasy points quarterbacks here,

319
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: you're looking at Rivers being sort of the c J

320
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: two K at the quarterback position. It's NFL Fantasy Live

321
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Series two ten x M eight seven Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano,

322
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: and Elliot Harrison from the NFL Network and NFL dot Com.

323
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: One more injury update to get here, and that's Peyton Hillis,

324
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: who was going to run and the brown said today

325
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer said they're gonna see what he can do

326
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: with practice before they make a decision on his availability

327
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: for Sunday. Now, this is kind of like Redskins light

328
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: and we talk about this running back situation with Peyton

329
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: hillis Ontario Hardesty, Okay, Hardesty. We know is gonna be

330
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: out a little bit a little while Chris Obaniah potentially

331
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: could get the carries. Peyton Hillis it's that last name

332
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: out well, Oben, Oben. I've been practicing all last night.

333
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I've been practicing, um. And the thing is is that

334
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: even if Peyton Hillis is healthy, it's other than if

335
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm desperate out of flex because the Browns just can't

336
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: run the football at all. If I'm desperate, Okay, and

337
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Hillis is playing on playing them. But that's really

338
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: where we're at for a guy who, other than c J.

339
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: Two K, is probably the most disappointing layer in fantasy football. Well,

340
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: I want to go back to Fab's point on Mike Tilbert.

341
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: If I'm rolling with olban Iya versus Mike Tilbert, I'll

342
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: take Mike Tilbert, you know, because I don't like anyone

343
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: on the Browns. And that's another one of those guys

344
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: that man, you just to me, I think you bench

345
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: anyone in the in the Brown's backfield period. I don't

346
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: care if Peyton Hills is healthier or not. I'm benching

347
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: him again. Back to I, I really think Holbert is

348
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: going to be a really good start this week, and

349
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of name players I would start Tilbert

350
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: ahead of. But even though there's a possibility that Peyton

351
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Hills comes back this week, desperation flex play at the best.

352
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: The Texans of a lot of the fifth few is

353
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: fantasy points of running backs this year. The defense has

354
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: really sort of taken off under Wade Phillips, and he's

355
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a risk and I'm telling you right now, I don't

356
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: want to ever hear anyone again call the show, email me,

357
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: tweet me and say that I'm a fool for thinking

358
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the Madden curse holds some water because it victimized another guy. Now,

359
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: every year when we were kids, it was the s

360
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: I cover jings it is. It was the cover jinks

361
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: you can't listen and people will say, well, Drew Brees

362
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: had four thousand yards last year, He had twenty two interceptions,

363
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: which was his career high for a single season, and

364
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: he played more than half the season with that m

365
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: c L sprain. So the curse is nasty. Yeah, it

366
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: just hits different people in different ways. I mean, it's

367
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: just sometimes it's really bad. Sometimes it's okay, it's it's

368
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: a season like I will never draft anyone who's on

369
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: the Madden cover. Ever, how Ever, if Aaron Rodgers is

370
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: on the cover next year, I'm not drafting him. You

371
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be on it. Now. I could have used

372
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,239
Speaker 1: that as an entry point into FABS and my ongoing

373
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: argument that interceptions aren't counted high enough. I think interceptions

374
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: aren't counted high enough in fantasy football. He vehemently disagrees

375
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, but he is right. Drew Brees had a

376
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: terrible year from a turnover standpoint, and I think in

377
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football that doesn't hurt you that much. It really

378
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: doesn't lose forty four points there. That's not enough, not enough,

379
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: But that can be an argument for another day. NFL

382
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: all the advice we're gonna give out today, that the

383
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: best advice I think I'm gonna be able to give

384
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: out as this. When you want to be able to

385
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: pronounce Chris Obaniah's name right, just think of Jeffy Diana

386
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: open Aya, Openia Opaniah, open Eyah Obaniah Boom. There you go,

387
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: and you'll get it right every single time that tonight.

388
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: That just tells you how how thin the running back

389
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: position is. When we're talking about Chris Opaniah being a

390
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: potential flex starter. If Peyton hillis is out, welcome to

391

Speaker 1: guys we like and guys we don't like across the

397
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: board some big fantasy matchup. It's NFL Fantasy Live Series

Speaker 1: two ten x M eight seven, Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano,

401
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Serius X and Fantasy Sports Radio. Welcome

402
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live Series to ten XM eight

403
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: seven on Ellian Harrison joined by Michael Biano and Jason Smith.

404
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: And Jason that air guitar that you're doing right there,

405
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: Usually you're a lot more vehement about how hard you

406
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: hit the chords that one. You look like that that

407
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: studio musician who was like disinterested after the twelfth take

408
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: of the same video. Well, you know, my whole thing

409
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: is I like scales when when I air guitar, I

410
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: like scale. Scales are the most fun thing to do.

411
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: Not a lot of scales in that guitar solo, So

412
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: it's a little bit muted for me. I smell what

413
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: you're stepping in. Uh, speaking of disappointed or I shouldn't

414
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: say disappointed, but Michael, you're not super high on Ryan

415
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick as a start or as a start this week.

416
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: And you have a couple other interesting sytems. Let's hear

417
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: quarter and uh Jason Smith will be happy to know

418
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: that the Jets defense is the reason why I don't

419
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Good game last week to sixty two

420
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, but the Jets have allowed the few

421
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: fancy points of quarterbacks this year seven point three. Not

422
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: a good number. UM mentioned Ryan Fitzpatrick. Also Joe Flacco.

423
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I know back in Week one he had three touchdowns

424
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. That was then, this is now, this

425
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: is at Heinz Field. The Steelers are gonna be p oed,

426
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: really motivated because they were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens

427
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: in Week once. The only thing that's a bad start,

428
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: and the only thing there is that Lamar Woodley. That's

429
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: a big injury. But the other injuries they already have.

430
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't see Flacco going off

431
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: that would lee injury considering the other injuries they're already

432
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: dealing with in the front seven. And Flacco is only

433
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: average eight points a game over his last couple of

434
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: his last four starts, which is terrible. Jay Cutler against

435
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: the Eagles, terrible matchup for him. Matt Forte I think

436
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: is gonna have a huge game, Jay Cutler not so much.

437
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: None of his receivers are gonna be open all night long,

438
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: So don't start any Bears receivers either. Matt Hasselbeck, who

439
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: actually started off the season pretty well and has really

440
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: fallen off the face of the fantasy earth over the

441
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Uh. He has averaged right around ten

442
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: fantasy points in his last three starts. On benching him

443
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Alex Smith, don't start him against the Redskins,

444
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: and Matt Shop. I don't like the match up this week.

445
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: I know the Browns underrated from a fantasy perspective defensively,

446
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: but they've only allowed the average of third the third

447
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: most third few of fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

448
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: So not Shop, especially if Andre Johnson is out again.

449
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Tough matchup. Yeah, It's kind of funny because there's certain

450
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: trends we look at in fantasy football and they change

451
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: from week to week. It's okay, you know this, this,

452
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: this guy has done this, and then suddenly he takes

453
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: a dive or you get an uptick in production. But

454
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: when you talk about statistical tendencies towards the run and

455
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: the past, the teams that are really good against the

456
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: past are gonna stay really good against the past. No

457
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: one's gonna start carving up the Jets through the air

458
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: for three and fifty yards and three touchdowns. That's just

459
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. No one's gonna start running on the

460
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty niners for three touchdowns. Again, they haven't

461
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: given up one yet this season. They probably will give

462
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: up one before the season ends. But these are trends.

463
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: You really can't ignore teams that are in the top

464
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: two or three against the past, teams in the top

465
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: two or three against the run, unless it's a guy

466
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: you would never bench under any circumstances, an area and

467
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: faster or someone like that. You have to look and say,

468
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: I gotta sit a guy like Stevie Johnson, I gotta

469
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: sit Ryan Fitzpatrick. I gotta sit these guys because they're

470
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: simply just not going to produce. There's no anomalies when

471
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you get to this. Well, speaking of trends and anomalies,

472
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: how about this one. The top five defenses in the NFL.

473
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: Number one ball More Ravens a f C North, number two,

474
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers a f C North, number four Cincinnati Bengals

475
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: a f C North, and number five Cleveland Browns. Four

476
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: out of the five top defenses in the National Football

477
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: League all reside in the a f C North and

478
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: number three guys Houston Texans, who we all thought with

479
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: the Mario Williams injury was gonna be a great matchup

480
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: for offenses and it just hasn't worked that way. Yeah.

481
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: What's funny though, is if we look at fantasy versus reality,

482
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore right now number two and fantasy points among defenses,

483
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals are fifth, which is a huge shock. They've

484
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: been extremely underrated this year. The Browns they're not even

485
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: in the top twenty, believe it or not. Uh. And

486
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers their middle of the pack this year based

487
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: on Fantasy points on NFL dot Com. They've only scored

488
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: fifty one points this year. So, uh, it's funny how

489
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: great defense is actually on the field don't always relate

490
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: to great defenses and fantasy Well, and the other thing

491
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: is that the end when the NFL ranks its defenses,

492
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: they're not ranking it on turnover and yeah, and you

493
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: get your points in fantasy. And the thing that the

494
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: Browns don't give you, they don't give you that sack,

495
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: strip fumble, that a DeMarcus where it gives you. They

496
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: don't give you that Charles Woodson pick six going the

497
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: other way. So you know, Cleveland has been very good

498
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: at limiting other teams living pass offenses. But it's not

499
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: like Joe Hayden's gonna get you to pick six? Is

500
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: You know? That's a funny thing when me throw this

501
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: out to you, because we always have different things that

502
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: make us like defenses, you know, make us want to

503
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: play this defense, make us feel good about playing a defense,

504
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: because a lot of times defenses are crapshoots. Would you

505
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: rather have a good defense that gets after the quarterback,

506
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: limits teams throwing the football and gets a lot of sacks,

507
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: or would you rather have a team that maybe lets

508
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you move up and down the field but create some turnovers.

509
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: We're talking fantasy or talking fantasy football. Who would you

510
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: who would you rather play? A team will give up

511
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: yards and may you know, because you you lose points

512
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: obviously the more points of team scores, but they may

513
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Or do you want a team

514
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: that gets after the quarterback, I'll get you those sacks

515
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: not gonna give you a lot of yards, but also

516
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: don't have the big potential for a big day running

517
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: one back for a touchdown. And I think a perfect

518
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: example what you're talking about would be like the two

519
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: thousand nine Saints to him. In two thousand nine, Saints

520
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: defensive ranking was actually a lot worse than two thousand

521
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: and ten and two thousand nine. Obviously they won the

522
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Two thousand ten they got Marshawn lynched in

523
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but two thousand nine they got I believe

524
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: nine defensive touchdowns. Darren Sharper had three by himself. And

525
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: it's a quarterbacks and you have an attacking defense that

526
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: that takes gambles and risks. They're gonna give up some

527
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: chunk plays down the field. But I'm fine with giving

528
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: up a twenty five yard pass to Greg Jennings if

529
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: the next series of downs, I've got to pick six

530
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: going the other way. So to answer your question, much

531
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: other have an attacking, risk taking defense. Wade Phillips defense,

532
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: even Dom Caper style defense Tom Capers in the Green Bay,

533
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: They've given up a ton of yards passing, but they

534
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: still get defensive touchdowns. For you, I think for me

535
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: that's easy reality. I think I really have a more

536
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: conservative defense. That's what would you rather have. I want

537
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: the defense that's causing turnovers and oh, by the way,

538
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: has a halfway decent return guy there on special teams.

539
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: Because the Bears this year have scored four touchdowns and

540
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: two of them have been you know, to have Hester

541
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: has just been fantastic. So you gotta look at that

542
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: whole picture. And a defense can give up a lot

543
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: of yards a lot of points as long as they're

544
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: turning forcing turnovers. Uh, and they're scoring touchdowns. I mean

545
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: there's defenses out there, defensive special teams out there this

546
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: season that maybe not great from a fantasy from a

547
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: reality perspective, like the Bills. They don't have a great defense.

548
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, Paul Polski has gone that they don't have

549
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: a great unit. Uh, they're six and fantasy points because

550
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: they they turn They've got three touchdowns last week. They

551
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: were great against the Redskins, who are terrible, and that's

552
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: sort of how things work. From a fantasy perspective. We

553
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: would probably agree that the Packers have a better defense

554
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: than the Bills on the field and fantasy they don't see.

555
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, is I look at a

556
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: team like the Bills. It's an all or nothing defense.

557
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: And when I when I put my defense out there,

558
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to defense and I'm gonna say, Okay,

559
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be They're gonna I need fifteen or

560
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: twenty points where I need a touchdown, I need this.

561
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: I want to know here's a defense that's goo to

562
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: get me. You know, four or five sacks, uh is

563
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: going to get a turnover and they're not gonna I'm

564
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: not gonna lose points because I'm they're gonna give up

565
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight or thirty points. And suddenly I'm looking at

566
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't do that. Because you get a

567
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: team like the Bills. If they have the game but

568
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: they're not getting turnovers, they're like zero one or two

569
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: points because they're not doing anything to get after the quarterback.

570
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: They're not doing that. But I like more consistency from

571
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: my defense where I can say, Okay, I can put

572
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: you out here and you're gonna give me a certain

573
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: amount of points, and that way I don't have to

574
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: worry about it, don't have to worry about losing because

575
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I had no points and the other guy's defense I

576
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: went against had ten. And you're negating my quarterbacks performance

577
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: because I outpointed your quarterback by fifteen. So I really

578
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: I want to go with more consistency. So I'm more

579
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: of a forty Niners, you know defense and the Bengals

580
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: defense guy, just because touchdowns are kind of crapshoots. You know,

581
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: you can't predict touchdowns. You can go turnovers and ball hawk.

582
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: That's great, but you know, guys getting the end zone,

583
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of it sets up in the air how

584
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: it happens. We're gonna miss you when you're gone. Oh,

585
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: everybody's going early. But Fabs is giving me that look

586
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: with the you know, the thumb and the pinky out, like, hey,

587
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: do we have any callers? And so I think before

588
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: we take a break, are here to help the people?

589
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: They are? So hey, SEUs has been sitting with us

590
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. Hey Sis, what's going on? Hey SEUs? O? Hello,

591
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: hey SIUs, what's going on? Hey now much? I have

592
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: a question I haven't I have a Gronkowski and and

593
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: uh Fred Davis and I'm debating on which who to

594
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: start so well right now, Fred David Fred Davis has

595
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: got that at that ankle injury and he didn't practice

596
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, so you could have to play Gronkowski by default.

597
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: But I have actually got the same scenario in one

598
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: of my leagues, and I'm trying to trade one of

599
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: these two guys because I can't use the tight end

600
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: in the flex spot. Why the heck am I gonna

601
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: have two guys in the top ten at one position

602
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: where I can only start one every week. Both teams

603
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: have already had their buys. I would really look at

604
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: the other rosters on your in your league, check out

605
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: who needs a tight end? You know, you sort of vulture.

606
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: You sort of become the vulture on the week, the

607
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: guy who needs a tight end. I looked in that

608
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: league on some of the other rosters, and I'm making

609
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: trade offers. I'm actually trying to make an offer with

610
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: Dave damnishek Our buddy from NFL Fantasy Live. But I

611
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: never like to have two stud players at a position

612
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: I can only start one per week. Fill a better

613
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: fill another hole a week spot in your lineup. But

614
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: right now it looks like you're gonna have to go Gronkowski.

615
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: I would roll with Gronkowski also, and I agree with Fabs.

616
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be able to do that

617
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: with Pedigrew and Witten until Pedigrew starts stinking, so you know,

618
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: so I was hoping to get to do that. And

619
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: I think, and you know, Gronkowski, he was great early on,

620
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: but now the Patriots like to do so many different

621
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: things with Aaron Hernandez lining him up in a bunch

622
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: of different places. He's got he's got more potential. So

623
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: I think Gronkowski really is gonna start losing some of

624
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: those targets. And if Tom Brady is not throwing four

625
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns a game, you know Gronkowski's production is going to

626
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: go down. But no matter who's throwing the football at Washington,

627
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: Fred Davis is getting the targets as long as he's health.

628
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: No nobody feels bad for Gronkowski either, especially after the

629
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: pictures that came out of him last week. Nobody and

630
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: no one, Bill Belichick, what it really surprised you to

631
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: see Aaron Hernando's playing a little safety by like Week

632
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: fourteen pulled little Troy Brown from Troy Brown a few

633
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: years ago. We're gonna have Alex Flann again from NFL

634
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: Network up the next hour. But coming up next we're

635
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: gona get into more start and sits at the running

636
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: back position and break down a couple of the other

637
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: games in fantasy football. But for now, here's your fantasy fix.

638
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: It's NFL Fantasy Live. This is NFL Fantasy Live on

639
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: Sirial Sex Album Fantasy Sports Radio. Well, that is, of

640
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: course the Fair Warning album, Van Halen's fourth release after

641
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: their self titled debut Van Halen Too. Then it was

642
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: women and Children first. You need you need a deeper

643
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: voice when you do that. That, of course the rewarding

644
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Van Halen. You've ever seen these guys for the first

645
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: time back at seventies six of the Palladium in New

646
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: York City and they were just becoming stars. And then

647
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they can't mount and he blew

648
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: the doors off and met Michael Anthony backstage. You could

649
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: just tell they WERENA. You have a really deep lower voice,

650
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: like years of whiskey drinking. If you're gonna talk about

651
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I have pologize. I I talked like Jonathan Moxon from

652
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues. I don't want your live listen. Van Halen.

653
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: They used to be known as Mammoth and the old

654
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: stories that Gene Simmons discovered them. Remember the song Everybody

655
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: Wants Some off of women and children? Remember at the

656
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the movie and the Hamburger joining the Little Hamburger.

657
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: That was that scene was only rivaled by the end

658
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: of Spaceballs when they're in the cafe and the alien

659
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: pops out of the guy's stomach and then does that

660
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: whole uh we dance. It's like putting on the ritz

661
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: or something pure greatness. But on a more related fantasy note, Uh,

662
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: Cedric Benson, you just heard the highlight one of Michael

663
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Fabiano's starts this week, said Benson. Of course, going against

664
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee coming off the suspension and Fab's wi, said Benson.

665
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: Just a good matchup the Titans of a lot of

666
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: the seventh most fantasy points running back to this season,

667
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: So I think Benson's a nice to slash flex. I

668
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: don't will start Beanie Wells what about him? Last week?

669
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: He goes from being out one of two weeks to

670
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: being limited in practice to playing and putting up and

671
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: putting up more Fantasy points against the Ravens and any

672
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: other running back in the league. Good luck trying to

673
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: predict this stuff. Sometimes. I was a percent wrong on

674
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Darren Spoils last week, but boy everybody was. The Saints

675
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: were horrible. How do they lose to the Ramps. But

676
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I still would stick with him as a flex starter

677
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. The get Blunt looks like he's gonna

678
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: be back. You play him against the Saints. Ben Jarvis

679
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: green Ellis and his wonderful point nine fantasy point product

680
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: production last week, don't worry about it. I play him

681
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: against the Giants if they can give up a hunter

682
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards to Reggie Bush. Ben Jarvis is a good

683
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: start and players that you need to watch. If Mike

684
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Tilbert is the starter and both Brinkley and Matthews is out,

685
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: I love tilbrit this week. The same goes for Michael Bush.

686
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: If Darren McFadden can't play because of that foot, Michael

687
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Bush becomes to me a top fifteen fantasy running back

688
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: and a guy who is a very good two and

689
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: an even better flex. Here's another different situation here now,

690
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much to believe this because

691
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Willis mcgahey says I plan on playing this week. He's

692
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: got the broken hand. He was actually back at practice

693
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday a little bit. No Shan Rerino has played

694
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: pretty well in his absence about a game and a

695
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: half since mcgahey broke his hand. Mcgahey says he's gonna play,

696
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I just can't see a guy, especially

697
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the ball, he the hand, he carries

698
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: the ball in the most being ready to come back

699
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: from a broken hand after one week. I just have

700
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: a feeling that this is gonna be one more week.

701
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: And this is mcgahey just saying, yeah, yeah, I'm coming back.

702
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm coming back, whether it's gamesmanship or hey, I'm coming back.

703
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think I'm gonna lose my job to Marino,

704
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: but I have a tough time believing he's actually gonna play.

705
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: That's one of the situations that you're gonna have to

706
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: monitor all week and imagine if it's another Joseph Die

707
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: scenario where he's active and you're not sure what the

708
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: deal is and then he doesn't play a single snap.

709
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with mcgahey. But the thing is,

710
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup. It's a great matchup. The Raiders

711
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: not good against the runs. So we'll have to wait

712
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: and see watch the practice reports throughout the week. And

713
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: if mcgahey is in full participation and he's running with

714
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: the ones, how do you play Marino? How do you

715
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: play him as a fantasy owner? It's a risk. And

716
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: don't forget Tibo. Before he even throws a pass, he's

717
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna be worth ten points on the ground at least

718
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: fifty yards rushing. He's got a great matchup on the ground.

719
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna run for at least one touchdown, so that

720
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: before he even throws a pass, that's ten points. And

721
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I wish you got like a tenth

722
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: of a point for every second that he holds the

723
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: ball in the pocket, because you know, when he holds

724
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: the ball for thirty seven seconds, you can get some

725
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: extra points. FABS, what do you think in point for

726
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: every time he turns his back away from the line

727
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage when he's scrambling, that would be a good

728
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: one to that is. That's one of my favorites, FABS.

729
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Who's the biggest name you would say to sit this

730
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: week at the running back position? Chard Men at Hall,

731
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, uh Men in Hall against the Ravens.

732
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: Just an awful matchup and uh, he's really been struggling

733
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Uh. Men In Hall

734
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: in his last few games, his average has put up

735
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: a hundred too fantasy point, a hunter and two rushing yards, uh,

736
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: and not many fantasy points. So men and Hall is

737
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm a little bit worried about. And

738
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna say, Chris Johnson, and I

739
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: hope I jinks him. You know, Sometimes, like I've seen

740
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: this happen in my eleven years, sometimes a guy is

741
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: really playing badly, big name and you put him into

742
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: your start him and sid him column A is a

743
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: sit and he blows up, And I kind of hope

744
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: he does because fantasy owners got to be pulling their

745
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: hair out. Or Jason in your case, what would you

746
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: try to um about? C J two K. So the

747
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: matchup is bad. The Bengals have been very underrated from

748
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint. Um, but it's hard to start him

749
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: right now unless you, I mean, unless you're really really

750
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: thin in your backfield. The same goes with Peyton Hallos again,

751
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: and no one can argue to me that the Madden

752
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: curse is not real at this point, because that thing

753
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: is lethal. Marshawn Lynch against the Cowboys. Yes, I know

754
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy rolled all over the Pokes last week, but

755
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: I really think Rob Ryan's going to have that unit

756
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: fired up and ready to roll. And the Cowboys are

757
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: still allowing the fourth views fancy points to running backs.

758
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: And if you start a Redskins running back this weekend,

759
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: good good luck to you, because the Niners have allowed

760
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: the fewest fancy points to running backs. Ryan to Rain

761
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: since putting up that big stat line against the Rams

762
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: is averaging one and a half yards per carry, and

763
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison, that's nasty, bad, horrible. Any adjective you want

764
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: to use. One and a half yards per carry is bad.

765
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: That's not good. Oh, because I thought Peyton Hillois was

766
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: the man. If it was college football in the seventies,

767
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: you'd be fine. But it's not. So you're in trouble.

768
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: Let me let let me give you a guy right

769
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: here that I talked about him the last couple of

770
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: weeks and we just got some news on him in

771
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: the last forty five minutes or so. The Jets want

772
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: to get back to ground and pound, and Sean Green

773
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: had a big name. Last week, he kind of saved

774
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: his job with over the hundred yards rushing Ladanian Thomlinson

775
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: got the ceremonial start. Whatever it was that motivated Sean

776
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: Green a little bit congratulation. I know where you're going,

777
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan said to we came in the last forty

778
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: five minutes. Joe McKnight is going to be more involved

779
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: in the running game this week. Now you remember back

780
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: that you remember last year the Jets were eleven and

781
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: or the Jets were ten and five, and they had

782
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: their seating clinched in the playoffs. Couldn't do anything by winning,

783
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything by losing final weekends. Buffalo the rest

784
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: of all their regulars, and he gashed them for I

785
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: believe was a hundred and fifty four yards. McKnight is

786
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: becoming that weapon. I said pick him up a couple

787
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I'm still on him because he's making

788
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: plays in that offense. He's a dynamic player. They're going

789
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: to get him the football. This is the week they

790
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: start doing. And I wouldn't play him this week, but

791
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: if you have a roster spot out there, go get him.

792
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Stash him because he could turn out to be the guy. Well,

793
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: even he may not even have to do that, because

794
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: if if your theory is right and he's not worth playing,

795
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: you're basically insinuating he's not gonna get enough touches. So

796
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: let's say he gets five or six touches and does

797
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: something with say forty two yards or fifty yards, and

798
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe heaven forbid, even gets you a touchdown, then you

799
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: can go on your waiver wire and pick him up. Well,

800
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: and let me say this, if you have a choice

801
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: between any Redskins or Colts running back and Joe McKnight,

802
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Joe McKnight, if you if you are just from hunger

803
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: at every poson, don't know, don't know who to play,

804
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: your guy is out, you could do worse. Joe McKnight

805
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: could get you five or six points in that flex spot.

806
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: But that's because you can't count on any of anybody

807
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: else from those teams that get you even two or three. So, guys,

808
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: they got some good news here. Not only are we

809
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: gonna have Alex Flann to get on today, we're also

810
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna have Adam Richmond from A Man Versus Food Nation

811
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: on the program today. I just find out from Adam

812
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be calling in about one thirty Pacific time,

813
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: so we can talk fantasy football and food. Steak or chicken?

814
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Who would be favorite? That's what you're gonna ask him.

815
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: Ask him. I already gave you my whole theory on

816
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: this once, the sacred chicken, that chickens always on the

817
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: injury report. You know, a meat's best ability is. I've

818
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: never gone to a chicken restaurant and they've been out

819
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: of chicken. I've never gone someplace where that's happened. There

820
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: is a particular chain. I'm not gonna mention their name,

821
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 1: but you go in and they always have the notice

822
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: up there that says, our normal farmer who gives us

823
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: the organically raised chicken, you know, is whatever understocked or whatever.

824
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, this is like your whole selling point.

825
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that'd be like going into Baskin Robbins and saying,

826
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, they have a notice on the door to say,

827
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: we don't have Neapolitan chocolate vanilla or chocolate mint, or

828
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: strawberry or orange Sherbert, but you know, we love your business.

829
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: I could live another hundred years. Maybe medical science will

830
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: make that possible. I don't think I'll ever hear to

831
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: say a chicken's best ability is it's availability. I'll never

832
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: hear a line like that again in my life. Harrison

833
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: is a little a little cookie. Sometimes I am a

834
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: little cookie. I am a little cookie. But we're talking

835
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: about it a lot. I mean, we're we're chicken, just

836
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: chickens chicken availability about availability, you know, I mean especially

837
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: at the running back position. What are we talk about

838
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: with Joseph and Die? Hey? Yeah, Joseph and Die would

839
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: be a solid flex play in your fantasy league if

840
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: you could ever trust whether he would stay healthy or not.

841
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: Derren McFadden could be a legitimate number one overall pick

842
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy football if you could trust that he's gonna

843
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: start sixteen games and finish him. Darren McFadden always has

844
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: something that causes him not to do that. All I'm

845
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: saying is that if a guy can't be in the

846
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: lineup all the time, you can't rely on them, and

847
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: sometimes it's better to go you just talked about with

848
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: the defense. Sometimes it's better to go with just the

849
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: guaranteed points that you know you're gonna get than taking

850
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: a stab at or you know, making a big risky play.

851
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: It's NFL Fantasy Live, Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Elliot Harrison.

852
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: Phone number is eight and eight nine six three to

853
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: six two eight eight nine six three to six A

854
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: to help you set your line up throughout the show,

855
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: here is Michael Fabriano, said Alex flannag and from the

856
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL Network, Notre Dame Football will stop by Adam Richmond

857
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: Man versus Food Nation and coming up next more Stars

858
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: and six. We'll get to some wide receivers who you

859
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: should play and guys you should have on your bench.

860
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: That's coming up next NFL Fantasy Live Serious two ten

861
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: xt M eight seven. NFL Fantasy Live is back Serious

862
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: to ten x M eight seven, and we are talking

863
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And you might have heard a little uncomfortable

864
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: pause there before we went to break, uh just a

865
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: few minutes of go and Jason Smith gave me that

866
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: look like he was gonna say something of great merit,

867
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: and then he didn't say anything. And then after you know,

868
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: you guys said what you heard the commercial. Jason's great

869
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: point was that Reggie Langhorne had a great season his

870
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: last season in the NFL. I think just got lost

871
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: in your dreamy eyes, Harrison. So for all of you

872
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: out there that we're waiting for any kind of Reggie

873
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Langhorne information. Sure enough, Reggie Langhorn retired at age thirty

874
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: on a thousand yards season. He retired on top, just

875
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: like Tony Lewis. Reggie Langhorne of course. Uh, pretty good

876
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Browns and a guy that probably

877
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: you sat more than started. But speaking of which, that

878
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: was a terrible segue, but on came rolling with it.

879
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: Who you started a wide receiver? Uh? You know what.

880
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: Dwayne bow has actually had two mediocre games in a row.

881
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 1: I stick with him against the Dolphins, who just can't

882
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: stop anybody through the through the air. Marcus Colston coming

883
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: off a mediocre game, but love him against the Buccaneers

884
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: on your eighteen yards and a touchdown in his last

885
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: game against Tampa Bay earlier this season. Pierre Garson, he

886
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: is definitely one of the best draft bargains in fantasy

887
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: football this year. Uh. I love him against the Falcons.

888
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: They're definitely one of those defenses that's a little bit

889
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: shaky against the past. I like Brandon Lloyd against the Cardinals.

890
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: Don't care if it's Sam Bradford. A J Field is

891
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: strowing them the football. He's being targeted, and the Cardinals

892
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: have have a lot the fifth most fantasy points to

893
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Julio Jones is back this week, guys. The

894
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: rookie should put up a nice stat line against the Colts,

895
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: who have just been awful against well, they've been awful

896
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: in every aspect of the defense. And Victor Cruz. If

897
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: you've got a giant's wide receiver, whether it's a team Nick's,

898
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: Mario Manningham, Victor Cruz, get him active this week. The

899
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: Patriots have allowed more fantasy points to wide receivers in

900
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: any team in the National Football League. And Victor Cruz, boy,

901
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: what a great gem he's been off the waiver wire.

902
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: Get him active this week. He helped me throw one

903
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: more guy out there to to kind of piggyback off

904
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: this is He's got a great matchup. He's had thirty

905
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: two targets the last three games. But dar is Heyward

906
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: Bay is a great start this weekndst the Denver Broncos.

907
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: The Broncos has given up the second most touchdown passes

908
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks in the NFL this year. I know that

909
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: we're still wondering is Heyward Bay gonna be that guy.

910
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: But regardless of how you thought of him before, this

911
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: is who Darius Hayward Bay is right now. If if

912
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: his name was Darius Jones or Darius Smith or Darius

913
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: Harrison or Darius Fabiano, we would say, okay, here's a

914
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: great waiver wire, Jim. Because it's Darius Heyward Bay, we think, oh,

915
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, he was a bust and I don't know.

916
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to separate what a player used

917
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: to be from what he's done. We have the big

918
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: enough sample size. Now, love hey Bay. This week I

919
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: agree with you, and let's go into that game for

920
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: a second. We talked about Carson Palmer, We've talked about

921
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow. We've talked about Darren McFadden. We talked about

922
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: no Sean Marino, Darius Heyward Bay. Is there any other

923
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: player from the Broncos or Raiders that you would at

924
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: least be willing to roll with at the flex? This

925
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: is hard because two weeks ago, I would say, Okay,

926
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with Damarius Thomas. Now after last week, okay,

927
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: it's not I'm gonna go with Eric Decker. I'm not

928
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: going with any Royal. The guys just simply. He got

929
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: thirty targets last week, but he's not a good fantasy receiver.

930
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: He's been over fifty yards once in his last sixteen games.

931
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: But if I got to pick between Broncos receivers for Sunday,

932
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: I gotta go with Eric Decker. You know. Decker simply

933
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: is when you talk about between him and Demarius Thomas,

934
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: he's the better player. He's proven to be the better player.

935
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: He did get a lot of targets. It wasn't blowout

936
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: time last week, but I go with Eric Decker. If

937
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go with somebody, yeah, I would agree, and uh,

938
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: but the thing is that you're getting all or nothing

939
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: basically from Merrick Decker ever since Tebow took over the

940
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: reins of the offense. Invisible in that first game, then

941
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: the second game had a pretty decent stat line from

942
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: a fantasy respective, at least not great. Believe he scored

943
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown, But it's really hard to trust any of

944
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: those Broncos receivers. I think Damarius Thomas has the most

945
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: upside moving forward this year and into the future, but

946
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: it's tough right now and there's a lot of decisions

947
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: like that that fantasy owners have to make not only

948
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: Broncos wide receivers, but Redskins running backs, Colts running backs. Uh.

949
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: It's it's harder, probably now more than ever to make

950
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: decisions on your fan see team starting lineup wise, because

951
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: teams don't focus on that one guy as much. Offensively,

952
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: you don't have a ton of featured backs anymore. A

953
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: lot of number one wide receivers are not producing, and

954
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: they're not true number one wide receivers. Eric Decker is

955
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: the number one in Denver. Is he a real number

956
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: one though? In fantasy football or in the NFL? Probably

957
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: not the same thing with the Browns, that's another situation.

958
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 1: They've got great little Is he a number one receiver

959
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: at the NFL level right now? Probably not? With Jason

960
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: we touched on the Broncos and Raiders, and then obviously

961
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: we touched on Philip Rivers. Everyone's gonna be starting Aaron Rodgers.

962
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: How about the wide receivers in the San Diego Green

963
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: Bay game? Do you start Jordy Nelson? Yeah, you have

964
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: to start Jordie Nelson. You have to start Greg Jennings.

965
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: I think that's where it stops for green Bay. With

966
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: San Diego, they have a great matchup I'd love to

967
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: sit Vincent Jackson because it's just he's not the same

968
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson. Antonio Gates. You have to play. But if

969
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the matchup, I would be asitant on

970
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: these guys. But yeah, this is gonna be good. They're

971
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football, they're gonna they're banged up a

972
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: running back. I would go with both these guys pretty easy.

973
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: It's a it's a tough and Jordy Nelson he's almost

974
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: getting into that you gotta stardom category and you can

975
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: catch one pass and turn into ninety five yards in

976
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown, which he did against the Rams. Sure enough,

977
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Alex Flanagin from NFL Network coming right up,

978
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: and then Adam Richmond from Manus's Food, who Michael Fabian

979
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: is very excited about. But stick with NFL Fantasy Live
