00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: What is Up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Podcast. It's your man, m G. Marcus Grant

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabriano and the

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Fantasy viper Graham Barfield. So like last week, guys, it

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: was like a weird, weird week, this week seems sort

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: of chalky, Like, yeah, everything sort of went the way

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: we were expecting it to, except for guys, like really

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: went big this week, dude, So Will Fuller, who we

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: talked about on Friday. We really liked him. We didn't

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: know he was gonna score three touchdowns and have like

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: fifty three fantasy points, but we we really liked him,

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: and uh we we've we continue to learn every week.

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: And I think we already sort of knew that whoever

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons are playing, you're gonna start them. The

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: same kind of thing with the Texans and guests who

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: plays this coming week Kansas City and Houston? Diddy up

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: for that one that might be. But um, yeah, you're right,

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot of it went chalk um. I will say this,

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: if Mike Evans and Greg Olsen are on your fantasy

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: football team, you're not real thrilled at this point I

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: had them together in one league and so fight to

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: say I got my butt kicked, but it is what

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah. Yeah, Well, where there were somethings that

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: wit chalk, there were some other guys who kind of

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: left you wanting more than This past week was just

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: a monster scoring week, right, So like last week, I

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: felt like Week four was just a little bit bizarre

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: in a sense. It was like, kind of it was

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: pretty low scoring. Um, just kind of a weird week.

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: But this week it was just just everyone smashed. I

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: think Jones just so Yeah, I saw a stat where

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: I think Christian Cockroft from Yes that's my pal man.

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: It was like, um, I think this this week there

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: were more scores over forty five. Five guys scored forty

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: or more. Yeah, it was five guys who scored forty

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: or more less, like the most all time, which is absurd.

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and I'm gonna be talking about this on

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: on on TV is on pace to break Ladinian Tomlinson's

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: record for single season Fantasy points scored. Oh yeah, I

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: mean it's just wild. Like Chris Godwin is on pace

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: to be the third highest scoring Fantasy wide receiver. Ever,

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that one's gonna happen. But it just

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: don't say that. I've got a lot of shares of

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: God when I want to keep it going. I know,

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I've got God one in a ton of leeks.

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: I know. I think the McCaffrey one actually has a

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: chance of hitting if they keep giving him the ball

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the way they are all right now, Yeah, yeah, the

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: Godwin thing is is insane. I think McCaffrey. What do

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: I see that he had the he had set the

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: the season high for fantasy points by a running back.

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: And it lasted for a couple of hours until Aaron

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: Jones came around, and I know, Eric boy and blew

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: him up. And I'm probably wearing my cowboy stuff. I

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: got my thirty three on here in my back, you know,

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: back to Tony Dorset days. But boy, the Cowboys. The

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys got outed as pretenders in the last two weeks,

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: and it pisces me off. Hey, Matt Lafleur, when you

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: feature Aaron Jones, Yes, good things happened, yeah, him in

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: the passing game on early downs to give them the

61
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: ball in the red zone. That things happen. I mean,

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: the fans sometimes listen. You know, I get it. You know,

63
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: we're fantasy analysts, We're not gms and Scott's. But sometimes

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe listening to us, okay, sometimes you know, maybe

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: go on Twitter and be like, yeah, yeah, the fantasy

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: community is the only day. Maybe you should give him

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: the football a little bit more next time. A coach

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: never takes advice from fantasy never never, I know, I know,

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: but STI I mean, hey, you know what I mean.

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: You know, we've been pounding, you know, pounding sand on

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: this freaking thing. It's like, come on, come on, come on,

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: and and it finally is coming to fruitions. Yeah. Yeah,

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: So all right, So Week five pretty much in the books,

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about guys that we got right right, Guys

75
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: that we were hyping in the preseason that have turned

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: out to be as good as we thought, maybe even

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: better than we thought. We'll see if that can keep going,

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: some of the guys that we kind of got wrong

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: for the first few weeks of this season and whether

80
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: or not they can turn it around. And then a

81
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: handful of guys where these are really talented players and

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: it's just hard to give up on them, but whether

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: or not we should keep the faith or whether or

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: not it's signed to kind of move on calling me

85
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: George Michael all Stars because you've got to have faith.

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: UM do that with some news the wavery Wire, of course,

87
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: because it is Monday. But before we do any of that,

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: we'll go behind the glass and talk to our faithful

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: producer seenor Edward L. Murphy Esquire Murphy's up. That's kind

90
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: of a bad Sunday lost in fantasy. My main league

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Giants looked pretty bad. Hey, listen, Yankees buddy. I know

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't try to stay positive what it's worth. I

93
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: don't think you can feel too bad about the Giants.

94
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Tough homespot Vikings defense is good. It was if I

95
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: had to listen to the game, and uh, it was

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: just frustrating because they they had the balls on the

97
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: ten twice and didn't come away a touchdown either time.

98
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: So it's that to me, it's frustrating. Jones finally looked

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: like a rookie. And then now we have a short

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: week Thursday game versus the Patriots and that defense is

101
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: not let up, Like I feel like a point the

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: entire what is it? It almost seems like the schedule

103
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: makers all said, let's draft the Patriots in our fantasy

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: leagues because every week they're playing a bad team, like

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: every week, and now they you know, I'm sorry, Palt,

106
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: you know I love you. But the Giants, you know,

107
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: and especially Skin doesn't play, so the I mean, the

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: Patriots are just going off. Well, I would have research

109
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: to take a look. Maybe we can talk about it

110
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Where they are ranked, Like going into the week,

111
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: they were like a top five quarterback, running back, wide receiver,

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: top tight end and they had another good week. Yeah,

113
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if they go a while before

114
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: they go another couple weeks, I think before they play

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: a team with a winning record, I believe. Well, this week,

116
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: it's all it's all East against East, right, the Cowboys

117
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: are playing the Jets, the Dolphins are playing the Redskins, Patriots,

118
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: Patriots are playing the Giants, um and then I think

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles, I think are playing I don't know if

120
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles are playing uh An, a f C East team. No,

121
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo is on a by this week, so so the Eagles,

122
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: let's see, are going up against Minnesota. I don't gonna

123
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: be fun. All right, It's that's good enough. Let's do

124
00:05:53,760 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: some news. Well, we will start with our first head

125
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: coach firing of the season. Probably not too surprising that

126
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: it happened in Washington. Jake Gruden has been let go.

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: H The report I saw this morning is that Team

128
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Brass woke him up, brought him into the office at

129
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: five am to tell him he was fired. That's pretty brutal.

130
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: That's awful. Yeah, that does that. That's pretty bad. You know,

131
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: you could have let me know last night. You could

132
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: have just you know, waited. I don't know, but you're

133
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna drag me in at five o'clock in the morning

134
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: to tell me. Do you think that had anything to

135
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: do with that video that surfaced? I'll see you about that. No,

136
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: which one is this? The video with him Eddie? Did

137
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: you see the video with him smoking something or another

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: and some younger females. Yeah, oh wow, I don't know.

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah that was I don't know if that was TMZ.

140
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know when the video was was I was taken?

141
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe I don't know. Maybe they maybe they figured, hey,

142
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: if he's out party and he should probably be up. Well,

143
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: apparently this I'm googling it right now. Apparently this is

144
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: the surface a few days ago, over the weekend. So

145
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, let Jake Gruden living now, He's

146
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: got plenty of time, you know. You know what's it's

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920

Speaker 1: tweet from Jasina Anderson from ESPN um a source. I'll

154
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: just free the tweets. So Bill Callahan takes over in

155
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: from head coach and the Skins. A source told me

156
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: that Callahan felt the team needed to run the ball

157
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: more this season and told some players last week he

158
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: was hard pressed to remember a time when he coached

159
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: on a team with so few rush attempts to start.

160
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: So and and you're and they're playing the Dolphins this week.

161
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this, okay, I mean it's really hard to

162
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: run the ball in the NFL when you're down three

163
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: scores all the time. Good luck with that. Williams not

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: coming back through that door. Yeah soon? Um, I mean,

165
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: but so this week, I mean, as I was mentioned

166
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: that they're playing the Dolphins. I mean, that's one of

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: those things Peterson, Right, So are we playing the Redskins

168
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: defense this week? Like against Miami? Are we playing Miami's

169
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: defense against the Redskins is one of those games where

170
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: you're just like, there's potential, but boy, it's just it's

171
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: just ugly. Also, so the Redskins are taking in reverse,

172
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are just straight up taking. I mean, at

173
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: least they're The Dolphins are up front about what they're

174
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: doing exactly. It'll be interesting to see who tries to

175
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: lose this game the hardest, you know, while the Bengals

176
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: are just sitting off to the side rubbing their hands, like, yeah,

177
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: here we go. You want to talk about a game

178
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: of two halves? Now, I had told people to start

179
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton if they needed a streamer, and you know,

180
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: we were all high in Tyler Boyd and that first half,

181
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get hammered on Fantasy Twitter

182
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: for saying that Andy Dalton. And then the second half

183
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: and they all of a sudden just figured it out.

184
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: Boyd had a monster game. The one thing Dalton did wrong. Well,

185
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, I'm sure he did a few

186
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: things wrong, but Tyler Eiffort was wide open in the

187
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: end zone. Through the damn ball behind him, through it

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: behind him. So the Cardinals defense for one week didn't

189
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: give up a big stat line to a tight end.

190
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: They've got Atlanta this week. How about Austin Hooper. Austin Hooper,

191
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: they'll be the number one tight end and fantasy uh,

192
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, maybe ahead of Kelsey who hadn't done

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: all that much. Uh. Yeah, he has been. He's been

194
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: the top tight ends this year. Like you knows, Arts

195
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: finally got into it into the end zone. George Kittle

196
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: will see what he does today, but he's kind of

197
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: been I mean, Kelsey was a first or second round

198
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: pick and he hasn't been worked it so far so far. Yeah. Uh.

199
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Kansas City Chiefs, they stuff with their

200
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: first loss of the season on Sunday Night Football against

201
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. Uh. Patrick Mahomes though, tweaked his ankle

202
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: a little bit um and you could sort of see it.

203
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: You could kind of see that he wasn't the same guy.

204
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he he had that ridiculous rollout touchdown throw

205
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: to with a Byron Pringle. Yeah, well where did this

206
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: guy come from? I mean, like, well, we're all thinking,

207
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: oh wait, Watchn's just hurt all Man, Miko Hardman and

208
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Robinson are gonna step up, and then Pringle comes out

209
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: of nowhere and scores all the points. Like, yeah, well,

210
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: it had to be somebody different. I guess, right, I mean,

211
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: every week is somebody different. Well, Watkins got hurt. Yes,

212
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: I don'tly think he played a snap. I think he may.

213
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: He may have played one snap. Tweet was worried that

214
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: he was even active. I thought, now, yeah, he tweaked

215
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: his hand and he heard his shoulder I guess in

216
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: Friday or Thursday practice, and it was questionable ended up

217
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: playing and then I mean, I don't he played a snap,

218
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think the bigger story here, though, is

219
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: like the Cults are legit, guys, You're really freaking They're

220
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: a good team, and this their offensive line. This is

221
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: this is one of the few teams that the Chiefs

222
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: could struggle with down the road because the Colts can

223
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: run the ball so efficiently and just move them off

224
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: the ball and control the time of possession. I mean

225
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had like two or three possessions in that

226
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: second half, which is just absurd to think about. And

227
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: it didn't help that Mahomes was was gimpy. Yeah, and

228
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: there by comes at a really good time because now

229
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Marlon Matt can get healthier, t Y Hilton can get healthier,

230
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: and they come back and their offensive, big offensive weapons

231
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: are closer now next week, as you mentioned, the Chiefs

232
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: have the Texans um that one's just gonna be everybody

233
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: like the scoreboard on fire, Like everybody's keeping their eye

234
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: on Mahomes to see what happens with the ankle during

235
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: the week. You know, immediately the the doctors on Twitter

236
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: jumped in and suggested either high or low ankle sprain.

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: I guess the the low ankle would be more preferable

238
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: because those tend to heal a little bit faster. Uh. Look,

239
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: it's simple. If Mahomes is playing next week, obviously you're

240
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: starting him. But if Matt Moore is the guy on

241
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: the field for the Chiefs, I mean, how are we

242
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: feeling about you know, I mean Tyreek Hill maybe back,

243
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: but Travis Kelsey, all these guys, I mean, it's it's

244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: a little less exciting if it's Matt Moore quarterback. A

245
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: little less exciting, dude, it is, yeah, um that that

246
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: would be that would be problematic. And we we've had Listen,

247
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: we've had enough quarterbacks get hurt this season. We've had enough.

248
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: It's I mean, you know, the NFL needs guys like

249
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes out there. Um boy, what happened to Mason

250
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: Ruff is awful yesterday, But we've we've had too many

251
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get hurt. It doesn't seem like it's major. He

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: was able to finish in that game yesterday. But um boy,

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: And and Mahomes is the biggest stud on every fantasy

254
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: team he's on. I mean, if you drafted, you had

255
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: to take him early draft, he's probably unless you have

256
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: like a McCaffrey. He has got to be your your

257
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: stud guy. And to lose him the drop off his severe.

258
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: So you mentioned Mason Rudolph, next bit of news there

259
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: suffer as a concussion. Took a really scary hit from

260
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas um and just you could see it immediately.

261
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: He just he went limp, fell to the ground, was

262
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: was helped off the field because I guess the carts

263
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: that would normally have taken him off. Was not they

264
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: not have too freaking carts? Was not operatial because in fact,

265
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: later on after Rudolph was kind of helped off by

266
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: some teammates and buy some staff to see them pushing

267
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: the carts, that was egregious. Marcus. Yeah, guys, I mean listen, man,

268
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: I love the NFL. Nobody loves it. But that was

269
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: that made the NFL just bad. This poor kid was

270
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: out walk off the field. I was surprised they didn't

271
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: even because they have the backboard to not even just

272
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: you know something, put him on the backboard and carry

273
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: him off that way. Um, so one, I mean he was.

274
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: He was taking to a hospital last night for observation. Look,

275
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised. Uh if he is back soon. Um,

276
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: the the Steelers come to l A to take on

277
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers next week, that's the Sunday night game next week.

278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: I would not expect him to be available for that.

279
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: Devlin Hodges, I you know when when when Rudolph went off,

280
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean to say, I don't know who next in left. No,

281
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: I didn't either, because you know Dobbs. Dobbs had been

282
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: trades traded. Hodges an undrafted rookie from Samford not Stanford

283
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: Sam for University. Uh came in look seven for nine

284
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: for sixty eight yards. His nickname is Duck because that's

285
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: not a good nickname if you're a quarterback. I don't

286
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: know duck. I saw somebody tweeting about ducky, and I'm like,

287
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: the dude from as In as in you throw ducks like,

288
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not good duck from Madman. So the

289
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: first thing that I think of is Chargers defense, stream

290
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: the heck out of them. And then I mean, you

291
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: got to play Juju. But I mean, do you okay?

292
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we got four teams on a buy. You

293
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: have to be super deep to not at least flex him.

294
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess maybe if you picked up d J. Charkoo.

295
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: By the way, he's a weekly start. Now you know what,

296
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: he's a weekly start. I feel foolish because for four

297
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: weeks this guy has been getting it done. I have

298
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: him in two leagues. I haven't started him once because

299
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I feel like what I have ahead of him is better,

300
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: and every week he's just going a listic did jump

301
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: in his second year, I'd been phenomenal. I did sit him.

302
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: It was like he was a way every wire pick

303
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: up for me in one league, and the guys I

304
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: have ahead of him, I've got a Marie Cooper, Chris

305
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: godd Tyler Boyd's like I sat him and like it

306
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: didn't hurt this now it's the same thing. But I'm like, yeah,

307
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I just he's bananas, dude right now. I mean, he's

308
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: he's better than every elite wide receiver that's been drafted.

309
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: And that game script just was perfect for the Jacks yesterday.

310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean they got behind real quick because McCaffrey went

311
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: the hell off and then they obviously had you know,

312
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: the fumble return there by Minshew and they just had

313
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: to throw a ton. Yeah, they have New Orleans. They

314
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: have New Orleans this week coming up. Which is interesting

315
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: because okay, and fantasy Chris Godwin is the Bucks number one,

316
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: but Evans is the number one in Tampa. Nothing last

317
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: week week before, Mary Cooper number one for the Cowboys,

318
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: did nothing. So Chart's going to have his work cut

319
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: out for him this week against Latimore. Uh yeah, By

320
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: the way, this is from Chris Mortenson. Devlin Hodges, obviously

321
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: expected to start for the Steelers, Paxton Lynch is promoted

322
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: from the practice squad to be Hodges backup. So this

323
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: is this is where we are in Steeler Land right now.

324
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: That just made John Elway happy, right, Paxton Lynch still

325
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: tall um. Wayne Goldman left the Giants game early with

326
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: a concussion, so that left a lot of John Hilliman

327
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: UH to run the football for Big Blue. That didn't

328
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: work out particularly well. We talked about it. A Thursday

329
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: night game for the Giants this week against the Patriots.

330
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: There is some hope that Sa Kwan can come back.

331
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: I feel like if Gallman was healthy, they wouldn't necessarily

332
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: rush se Kwan back. Now if Gallman can't go, if

333
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: he is still out, I have a feeling they're going

334
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: to try to do everything they can to make sure

335
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: s Kwan is ready for this game. Yeah, tough spot

336
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: because it's the short week. Like you mentioned, John Hillman

337
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: came in and and uh and dominated the snaps for

338
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: the Giants, But it's kind of just a lost game

339
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: for there that they couldn't move the ball efficiently against

340
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: that Vikings defense on the road. Daniel Jones kind of

341
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: was up and down in that game. But you know,

342
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: the Giants, I don't know, man, you know, I think

343
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be kind of how the

344
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna play all year, right, They're gonna be

345
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some really great games against bad defenses,

346
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones is gonna be pretty up and down

347
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: at times. I think the start for Daniel Jones against

348
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: that Bucks, you know, that Bucks team kind of got

349
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: everybody excited. But you know, the last couple of weeks

350
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: have kind of shown that, you know, he's still a rookie.

351
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: This thing is still work in the progress. Giants don't

352
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of explosive playmakers. Um, that's really the

353
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: big problem. Like Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Evan Ingram

354
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: are freaking awesome, Um, but they're not guys that are

355
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: are going to take the top off the defense. Yeah.

356
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I do appreciate them trying to get trying to force

357
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: feed some targets to Evan Ingram. A lot of tight

358
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: end screens that I would appreciate if they were blocked

359
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: a little bit better. But I do appreciate them trying

360
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: to force feed some of those targets there. Last bit

361
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: of news, Philip doors Set left yesterday's game for the

362
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Patriots with a hamstring injury. Recording our reports he's okay.

363
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: And probably should be available for Thursday night against the Giants. Um,

364
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I looked at that like Julian

365
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Edelman had the big game. Josh Gordon was, Okay, there's

366
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: just so many targets in that Patriots off. Yeah, and

367
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: they didn't have to throw yesterday. They got ahead real quick.

368
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: Brady you know, did his normal like dump off ding

369
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: to some running back. Sony Michelle caught three passes. Michelle

370
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: ran a bunch of right more than normal he did. Michellekehead, Yeah,

371
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Michelle was a little more involved in the passing game

372
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: with with no Burkehead. I don't think that's necessarily something

373
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna sustain. It's probably pretty noisy with Burkehead out.

374
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: But that being said, I mean, yeah, they just didn't

375
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: have throw very much yesterday. Yeah. I will pat myself

376
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: on the back of my weekly tired Wired column. I

377
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: said this could be a Sony Michelle week. Uh, just one,

378
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: because right about the time everybody gives up on somebody,

379
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: that's when Bill Belichick goes to him. It's part of it.

380
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: So I say that, you know, it's crazy. I say

381
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: that the Patriots didn't have to throw very much yesterday.

382
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: They just dominated by made still had passages. He had

383
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: a very good day. She had like two passing yards

384
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: in the first first half and was just sort of

385
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: like you know, for a while they were struggling to

386
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: score and then all of a sudden, there's just then explosion.

387
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: They ran off And he could have arguably had a

388
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: better game too because that that James White, that interception

389
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: he had to James White, that was like a round.

390
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: That was a terrible That was about Yeah, that was

391
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: about so there. Yeah, that's pretty much everything you need

392
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: to know. All right, as we wrap up Week five, guys,

393
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: we got rights guys that in the preseason we knew

394
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna have great years. Uh, whether or not they

395
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: can keep this going. Chris Godwin, We we look, everybody

396
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: loved Chris Godwin, right, I mean we I'm not saying

397
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: that we were somehow ahead of the curve on this

398
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: because everybody was on top of this guy, but still newbody.

399
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would have thought that through five

400
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: weeks of the season he would be your wide receiver,

401
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: one ahead of guys like Michael Thomas and Julio Jones

402
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins and Keenan Allen. I mean, Chris Godwin

403
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: is the pre eminent Fantasy wide receiver as we sit

404
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: here right now. I mean, Fads, I know you're saying

405
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: that he's doing things right now that that have never

406
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: been done in fantasy. Through five weeks. Can he keep

407
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: this going? I hope? So. I mean listen in that offense,

408
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: with that lack of a running game they have, and

409
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: you would think that this is going to be a

410
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: team that's in you know, barn burners every single week.

411
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: So and Arians is the guy. Arians is gonna throw

412
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: the football. Uh, not to O. J. Howard, but I

413
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: mean basically everyone else. I mean Mike Evans of course

414
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: disappeared yesterday, but Godwin's the guy. You know, defenses are

415
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: still you know, making sure that they're they're they're keeping

416
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Evans at Bay, which happened yesterday. Godwin's

417
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: just killing everyone in this slide. He's killing everyone, and

418
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: he's been better than we all had imagined. Um on

419
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: pace right now to be the third highest scoring wide

420
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: receiver in Fantasy history. Yeah. So Mike Evans has really

421
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: struggled in his career against Marshawn Lattimore. Lattimore is a

422
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: really up and down player. He is very up and down.

423
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: Lattimore has Mike Evans number, and we've now seen the

424
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Bucks move Chris God to Win around all across their formation.

425
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean they put him in the slot, they'll put

426
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: him out why, They'll put him tight to the formation

427
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: and let him run drags against linebackers. Bruce Arians is

428
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: doing everything within his power to get God when mismatches,

429
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: and he is just absolutely smashing, just smashing. Yeah. Yeah, look,

430
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: this has become I mean we thought there's gonna be

431
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: a more why variants I guess of targets, and we

432
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: knew Mike Evans would get his. Weew God would get his.

433
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: I think we thought O. J. Howard was wanted to

434
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: be a bigger part of this offense than he had.

435
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: That dream is dead. Yeah, that one. I think that

436
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: one's pretty much over. I think I think he caught

437
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: him now. I mean it's over, dude, That's it's over.

438
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: That's the thing. And I was and it sucks because

439
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: tight end is real thin. Yeah. I mentioned this on

440
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Twitter last week. I was like, you know, Howard has

441
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean his target, I mean he's basically just not

442
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: involved in the offense. Four three and two targets over

443
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. But it's like, you know, unless

444
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: you you lucked into will dis lay off the waiver wire,

445
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: or you feel very confident in being able to pick,

446
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, like when Noah Fan is going to score touchdown,

447
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: when Jason Witten is gonna score touchdown, it's like you

448
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: really don't have a lot of better off. But actually

449
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Gerald her Gerald e versus out in the waiver wire.

450
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon's on the waiver wire. Chris so um, I

451
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: mean I have o J in one league and I

452
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: am done with him. It's a it's in our NFL

453
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live league. I got to try to make a trade.

454
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm already you know. That's why I didn't want Greg Olson.

455
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: That's why I didn't want Craig Olson. That's a tight

456
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: end is just hard, dude. I mean, Abron sucked this

457
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: week and then Jared Cook comes out of nowhere and

458
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: has a touchdown because good luck with that. Yeah, but

459
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean you can't trust that. So it's it's hard

460
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: sledding out there. I mean, it's tough sledding out there

461
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: at that tight end position. Right now. Uh, Mick Chubb,

462
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: who I know, a lot of people liked he had

463
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: the huge game last week against the Baltimore Ravens. As

464
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: we sit here and we record this, they have not

465
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: played Monday Night yet against the forty Niners, so we

466
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: don't know what he's going to give you in Week five.

467
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: But right now, even having you know, not played his

468
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: his Week five game, he is still the RB nine

469
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: and Graham. Look, the Brown's offense as a whole has

470
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: sort of been up and down to start this year,

471
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: but Nick Chubb has not been a problem. I think

472
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: this Hopefully, hopefully Freddy Kitchens kind of keeps this going

473
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: for this this was this was the whole reason we

474
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: drafted Nick Chubb so high. It was because at least

475
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: until Cream Hunt comes back, they don't really have anybody

476
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to take touches away from Chubb because he's so one,

477
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: he's so talented, you can't really take him off the field.

478
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: In favor of Dernis Johnson, um, I will say the

479
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: Brown's offense in Mayfield in particular, have really struggled so far.

480
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see how they play tonight with

481
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: a you know, a couple of extra days to prepare

482
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: against the forty Niners defense that's coming off of by

483
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: and I think could be. I know, I know, Marcus

484
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: here forty Ninders fan, I don't want to get you

485
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: too excitt Look, I'm i'm'd. I think that I think

486
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: the forty Niners could be very very legit, especially if

487
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: their front seven is is talented and is restocked as

488
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like it is. Right. Yeah, that's

489
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of been the big thing because

490
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: they spent a lot of a lot of draft capital

491
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: on defense over the last couple of years. Um, you know,

492
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: some of it's like Solomon Thomas didn't quite work out,

493
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: but you know, hopefully Nick Bosa works out for them,

494
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But that has been a big key

495
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: for them. So we'll find out a lot tonight about

496
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: both these teams. Chubb. Chubb has just had an insanely

497
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: high floor. I mean, even though the red zone opportunities

498
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: haven't been as high as I thought they might be,

499
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: He's just getting so many, so many snaps and and

500
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: playing extensively in the past and they ask you guys

501
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: a question though, Um, you mentioned there's nobody behind him. Right,

502
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: We're entering week six seasons going by fast, are you

503
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: guys thinking about selling high on Nick Chubb because come back,

504
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: I've already I've already done it in one league, and

505
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta freaking just King's ransom for yeah.

506
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the reason that I wouldn't is

507
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: because the running back position has thinned out that surprisingly. No, no,

508
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: but you've obviously you've got to get I mean, you've

509
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: got to get a lot in return. But now you

510
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: can get a lot in return and then listen, I

511
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: get it. We all love Nick Jobb. The guy's phenomenal,

512
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: but the questions are going to start coming in the

513
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: next already coming. So so that's what I'm just I'm

514
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: just asking you, guys, you know, if you've got a

515
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: good enough offer, is Nick job on the table? I

516
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: think that that that just comes down to team build, right,

517
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: because I've got a few teams where I drafted Nick

518
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: Chubb in the third round and he's seriously my like

519
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: RB two or RB three in those leagues, um, and

520
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: those types of leagues where you you might have one

521
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: or two other good running backs like you have Alvin

522
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Kamara or something like that, then then sure, um, but yeah,

523
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: like Marcus mentioned, running back is pretty thin right now.

524
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean the RB eight is mark Ingram and he

525
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: has one more game play than Nick Chubb, and you

526
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: know Ingram is on pace to to lead, you know,

527
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: potentially lead the NFL and rushing touchdowns this year. But

528
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like he's had just an amazing

529
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: floor and ceiling. The middle ground of running backs this

530
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: year is kind of really thinned out. Yeah, um, and

531
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that's that would be. There's a lot of

532
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: good plays every single week, like Marlon Mack left r

533
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: B twos, but it's just like they're not consistently great place. Yeah.

534
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: I just the fact that you just mentioned Levian Bell

535
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: in that and you are correct, unreal, man. Yeah, Levian

536
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Bell is averaging like fifty rushing yards of game. If

537
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't for his abilities as a pass catcher. We

538
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: need Sam Donald back, dude, man. But not even though

539
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that that that sort of

540
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: solves it, But I don't know how much that solves it.

541
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: There's still so many other issues on the team right now.

542
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook has been phenomenal so far this year. He's

543
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: had nineteen or more points in every single His one

544
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: down week was two weeks ago against the Bears, he

545
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: still had a touchdown. Um this week didn't get me

546
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: in zone, but over two hundred scrimmage yards. Uh. You know,

547
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: he would have been even better if he didn't lose

548
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: a fumble. But dalind has been fantastic fans. I mean.

549
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: But now like Adam Feeling, he you know, he voiced

550
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: his displeasure they threw him the ball a little bit more.

551
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: Are we going to start to see maybe some balance

552
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: come to the force there in Minnesota? Is Are we

553
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: gonna see that Alvin Cook get the same number of

554
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: touches now? If they're gonna start to you know, maybe

555
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: involve their wide receivers a little They used to Cook

556
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot as a as a receiver out of the

557
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: back six. Yeah. Yeah, he had a big game as

558
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: a receiver. And I would say this, You've got Philadelphia

559
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: coming up next and they cannot stop the pass. They

560
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: can't stop the pass. So I wouldn't be surprised if

561
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: Theland had another big game. Digs was a disappointment based

562
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: on the matchup, but the Vikings went in they had

563
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: they had a game plan. They were going to throw

564
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: the football more. Kirk Cousins had his first actually good

565
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: fantasy performance of the season. So I mean, yeah, I

566
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: mean we forget. I mean, Kirk Cousins got paid a

567
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of money. He's a good quarterback, and again I

568
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: studied last week. You know, statistically he's sort of been

569
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: neutered by what Kevin Stefancies wanted to do with the

570
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: offensive philosophy. But they could still throw the ball. I mean,

571
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: Theland had a big game in Philadelphia, as I mentioned,

572
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: not good against the past. So as much as as

573
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: much as I I would like to think that it's

574
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna even out a little bit. I mean, time is

575
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: gonna tell on that because Dalvin Cook's had a lot

576
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: of success on the ground. The big thing for me

577
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: is you mentioned the success on the ground has been

578
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: so consistent. You know, he's average over five point three

579
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: parts per carry and now four of his five games,

580
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: but now four straight games Dalvin Cook has has seen

581
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: at least six point He scored at least six point

582
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: seven points in the passing game in PPR. Every single

583
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: week he scored five touchdowns I guess now receiving. Yeah,

584
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: I mean it's just man, I mean he's just been

585
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: a fantasy stud four excuse me, five total touchdowns of

586
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: all them rushing. But I mean it's just he's been

587
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy study. Yes, he's been everything that that we

588
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: would have hoped for. Um, And like this was one

589
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: of the few times where a coach says, we want

590
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: to run the football more and they actually do it,

591
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: Like we we hear that a lot, and then you know,

592
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: they fall behind three touchdowns and they can't for what

593
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: it's worth, I mean, Eagles, um, Eagles lines Redskins to

594
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: the next three games here, even if they do go

595
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: a little more balanced in those games, because the secondaries

596
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: are not so good. I mean, it doesn't even really

597
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: matter when Dalvin Cook's playing all these snaps and he's

598
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: their featured guy and seeing targets, he's he's just an immune.

599
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: He's he's a player who's immune game script. Ah man,

600
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: it's so nice to find those. They're so rare nowadays. Okay,

601
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: so guys that, okay, we're we're a little bit wrong

602
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: on um. Let's flip this here because we talk about

603
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. Let's go to the fun Diggs, right. I mean,

604
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we're expecting necessarily huge you know, like

605
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: like he wasn't gonna be a top five wide receiver,

606
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: but man like he is. I wrote yesterday and my

607
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: my things, I learned that, Like, you're really in a

608
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: tough spot if you've got Stefon Diggs, right, because he's

609
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that you're not just gonna, you know,

610
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: drop him and put him out there on the waiver wire.

611
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you're you have to

612
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: bundle him with something else really good to try to

613
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: get somebody to take him into trade, because I think

614
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: that this is just how it's going to be. I mean,

615
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: part of it is that, I mean, one, they do

616
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: want to run the football. The other part is though

617
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: that that the places Kirk Cousins throws the ball, it

618
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: tends to favor the routes Adam Feeling runs and not

619
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. So if you've got him, you, I mean,

620
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: he's kind of an anchor right now on your roster.

621
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: You can't really do much with him. Yeah, the only

622
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: way that you can trade him is obviously someone's looking

623
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: to buy low on him, you package him in a deal.

624
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: He's had what one good game all season. It came

625
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bars. He actually had to touchdown. Earlier

626
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: in the season. I didn't have a lot of targets

627
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: in that game, but that was think it was a

628
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: green Bay. I believe, um, But yeah, Diggs has been

629
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: a disappointment. This is a guy who had been trending

630
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: up in fantasy the last couple of seasons, had tremendous season.

631
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: But just you know, I think we all sort of

632
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: we we all underestimated that Stefansky was gonna go this

633
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: run heavy. And I think you're right if you could

634
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: flip up my wood, because I don't know that things

635
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: are gonna get better. The Vikings have a good enough

636
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: defense where they're not going to be behind in a

637
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: lot of games, and they're gonna be a lot of

638
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: close games, which means you're not going to see a

639
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: lot of what happened with the Cowboys yesterday where Dax

640
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: sucked and I'm not over it. But in the fantasy

641
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: he scored twenty three points because they had to throw

642
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: the ball a gazillion times in the second half to

643
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: try an attempt to come back. Um, I don't know

644
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen a lot with the Vikings.

645
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: That defense is going to keep them in games every week. True,

646
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: And the big thing to keep in mind here with Diggs.

647
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: Over the past three prior seasons, Diggs had average six

648
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: receptions per game. Now he's down at three point two.

649
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean the volume, the volume has just been cut

650
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: in half. You have to bench him, I mean going

651
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: forward to I mean I know that you bench him

652
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. I mean that's a problem. Like Eagles. You, Yeah,

653
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: you probably have to because I mean there's probably at

654
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: least twenty five running backs I would rather play in

655
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: my flex spot over Diggs and maybe thirty five issue receivers.

656
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody out there is lucky enough to have DJ

657
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: charge and Diggs has seen seven or fewer targets in

658
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: every single game so far. That's just that's I mean,

659
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't Stefon Diggs is amazing, but that's just that's

660
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: not enough. You gotta hope that Yeah, you have like

661
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: maybe a courtland side. Yeah, that's not enough volume to

662
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: get to be startable in most leagues. That's where we

663
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: are now. Man Um, life comes at your fast. Life

664
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: comes at you very fast. Freeman another guy that you

665
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: know you probably spent maybe a second third round pick on,

666
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: who has not really provided those sort of dividends. He

667
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: had a decent day on Sunday. His last couple of games,

668
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: he's been very effective as a pass catcher. And and

669
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: that's sort of like it looks like Atlanta right now.

670
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is on pace to throw over seven past attempts.

671
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: He would be the only the second guy to do it.

672
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: I believe Golf is also on pace for over seven

673
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: hundred and the the the only man in the NFL

674
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: to ever do it is stafford Um several years ago.

675
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: But the Atlanta can't run the ball to save their life,

676
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: which they are throwing the hell out of the ball

677
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: there one in four right now? How much longer does

678
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: dan Quinn hanging Not much longer? I mean, well, they

679
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: do have Arizona coming out this week, so they should

680
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: win that game. They should win that game. They should.

681
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: Is there is there a head coach who does less

682
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: for their team than dan Quinn right now? Uh? I

683
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: mean You're supposed to be a defensive minded head coach

684
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: and your team just gets black, thrilled, trashed every week

685
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: real quick. On Freeman, the Falcons have trailed. I tweeted

686
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: this this morning. The Falcons have now trailed on seventy

687
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: of their offensive snaps. That's the second highest rate behind Miami,

688
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: and Miami's trailing on over the snaps. But no team

689
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: is more past heavy right now than Atlanta, and that's

690
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: a big part of the reason why DeVonta Freeman can't

691
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: get going. And for what it's worth, I've watched a

692
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: bunch of Falcons this year. I don't think DeVonta Freeman

693
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: has lost a step. He looks like the same guy

694
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: who can make quick cuts. He's never going to have

695
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: the long speed, but he's still got his same arsenal

696
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: of quick cuts. It's just they cannot run the ball

697
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: because they're trailing so free and they had the injuries

698
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the season to the offensive line and that

699
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of hurt. And now you're looking at a team

700
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: that's playing from behind. They're playing and shootouts and that

701
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: means throwing the football. And Matt Ryan, I mean, he's

702
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: getting the job done for fantasy owners, but um, if

703
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: Freeman doesn't succeed as a pass catcher, he's not gonna

704
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: see the statue. Matt Ryan has been so up and down,

705
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: but guys, he has five straight games more yards. Yes,

706
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: it's crazy. When he was throwing the ball that much,

707
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: he got Matt Ryan on a couple of rousters, and

708
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: it's it's frustrating to watch him each and every week.

709
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: But in the end, like the fantasy numbers end up okay,

710
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: partially because of volume. Yesterday, Yeah, I mean he said,

711
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: with the rushing score eight plus in every game. Yeah,

712
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: and now he's got Arizona coming up. Uh must start man,

713
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, He's just definitely start this week. Baker Mayfield

714
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: was you know, we were talking about him. Maybe he's

715
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: a guy who breaks into the top five among fantasy quarterbacks.

716
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: We saw what he did at the end of last year,

717
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: and we were excited about what was to come this year. Uh,

718
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: let's see, as we sit here and I am scrolling

719
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: and I am past twenty five, and I have not

720
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: seen Baker Man there he is the number twenty seven. Again.

721
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: He has not played his Week five game. But we

722
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: so we still weren't expecting Baker Mayfield to be hanging

723
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: around the twenties at this point in this season. You know,

724
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: it's just been a really up and down weird here

725
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: from Mayfield so far. So I thought he played recently

726
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: well in the first couple of quarters. Excuse me, Uh,

727
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: I thought he played reasonably well in the first couple

728
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: of quarters in Week one against the Browns, then struggled

729
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter through a couple of picks, was

730
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: up and down against the Jets. I thought the Browns

731
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: offense was really bad against the Rams, and then Mayfiel

732
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of turned around against the Ravens. But now we've

733
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: seen more of the Ravens and their secondary is just

734
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: not very good with which which really makes that fifteen

735
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: point performance look even worse. Right now, that's true right

736
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: now with these four games, like, we really haven't learned

737
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: too much about Baker and I'm hoping we start to

738
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 1: learn more with this game against the fort Niners tonight.

739
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: So far this season, uh, he has not yet scored

740
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: sixteen Fantasy points in the game. He does not have

741
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: a game with multiple touchdown passes. He's got he's got

742
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: one touchdown pass in each game. He has at least

743
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: one interception in each game. And then he got the

744
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: three in the season opener against the Titans. And this

745
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: Niners matchup. I had him as a SID this this

746
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: is not an easy matchup. Then he's got Seattle, then

747
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: he's got New England, then he's at Denver, and then

748
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: he's got Buffalo. Yeah, there. Their schedule is really Mayfield

749
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I don't know. Maybe deep down

750
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: I really want him to block me on Twitter. But

751
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: because I've been getting on him, like on on the

752
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: show and on Twitter, I've been I've been getting on

753
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: him a little bit too. But dude, he's droppable. Like

754
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: I said it last week, he's droppable. He's a name,

755
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: and he's not proven anything in this league. Outside of

756
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: a really good second half of his rookie campaign. He's

757
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: not proven anything statistically. I was wrong about him. I

758
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: liked him coming into season. I really did the schedule

759
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: and what he's done to me. Give me Josh Allen

760
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: over him over the next five You see what Josh

761
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: allen schedule looks like. The next five weeks. He's playing

762
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: every crap team on the on the planet. He's got

763
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: the Dolphins twice, He's got the Redskins after the by

764
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: give me Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield can go to

765
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Ah. I do wonder how much of this,

766
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: and this was a concern. I've mentioned this before, how

767
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: much this has to do with Freddy Kitchens having a

768
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: lot more responsibility on his plate. Now, Yeah, You're right.

769
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: Can't just sit around and draw up plays. He's got

770
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: to worry about what the defense is doing, what special

771
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: teams are doing. He's got to manage ego. He's gotta

772
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: do so like it's not the same. And you wonder

773
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: whether or not that's just impact in the way this

774
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: offense works. I don't know. That's all all right? So

775
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: now I got a handful of guys. Do we keep

776
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: the faith? Do we do we put on our our

777
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Michael leather jacket and our shades and our guitars

778
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: and dance next to a jukebox and all that. Um,

779
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: this one is personal. This one kind of hits close

780
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: to home. DeAndre Hopkins had a huge Week one game.

781
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: Since then, it's been sort of man. I mean, he

782
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: was decent yesterday. Didn't get in the end zone, but

783
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: seven catches for eighty eight yards. It at least sort

784
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: of made you feel a little bit better about things.

785
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: Although he didn't do much in the first half. While

786
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: while we all watched, you know, Will Fuller have his

787
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: huge blow up game, while we watched Darren Fells catch

788
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes. Um, and the big takeaway for this

789
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: Graham for me at least is this is an offense

790
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: now that has more consistent it passed targets this year

791
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: than it has in the like before Luke got loaded

792
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: up with targets because that's pretty much all they had now.

793
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as Fuller is healthy. Uh, you know,

794
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills was out yesterday, but when he's there, you

795
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: know QT is there. They've got Duke Johnson, Carlos there's

796
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: so many more places for DeShawn wants it to go

797
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: with the football that now it looks like his target

798
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: ceiling is a lot lower. That's exactly right. And you

799
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: know last year, DeAndre Hopkins I just pulled it up.

800
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: He saw double digit targets in ten or excuse me,

801
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: twelve of seventeen games if you include their one playoff game.

802
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: This year, Hopkins has just one game that was the

803
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: Week one game against the Saints with ten or more

804
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: targets and the volume, you know, DeAndre Hopkins is going

805
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: to continue to see of their teams targets. But with

806
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Will Fuller balling out, they're getting their tight ends a

807
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: little bit more involved. I mean, Duke Johnson and Carlos

808
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: Hide are starting to see a few targets too. Uh yeah,

809
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean this target ceiling is just I can mentioned

810
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: it's just not there. Yeah, nuke right now, averaging eight

811
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: point eight targets per game, which is tied with of

812
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald's sterling shepherd Julio Jones. Um and listen for me.

813
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: I like the Cowboys, the Yankees and the Lakers. I

814
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: like big names. Okay, that's just me, all right, And

815
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: now I can get all the crap on Twitter damage

816
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: I'll probably handling me. But um, I'm trying to get

817
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: him now. I will. I will go out and try

818
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: and buy low on him. I've already tried to do it. Um,

819
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. If you're loaded a wide receiver,

820
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: like I have a league where I I have I

821
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: have God. I I have God. When I have Galladay,

822
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: I have Fitzgerald, I'm loaded. I would put Galladay in

823
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald in a package together and offer it to the

824
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: team that has new Copkins. Just go out and do it.

825
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: I feel like he's not gonna get worse. Yeah, I mean,

826
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: not to get better. I dealt him, and I have

827
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: to go back and look at but you know I

828
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: got a couple of things back in return. I got

829
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: some running back help and stuff. And for a second,

830
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: I was really nervous, like I was afraid that this

831
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: would be the week that I would have egg on

832
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: my face for dealing him and an interest being okay,

833
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: And I know the big weeks are coming because it's

834
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, right, he will have that game where he

835
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: goes like a buck fifty and two touchdowns, because that's

836
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: just going to happen. But I think understanding now that

837
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: the the Texans just have a diversity of targets in

838
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: their offense makes me feel like, Okay, I you know,

839
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: I can live with I can live with, you know,

840
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: missing one or two big games and hopefully I get

841
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: something else in return in the trade. So, uh so

842
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: are we keeping the faith in Aaron Rodgers right? You

843
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 1: know he had two weeks ago, he had a decent game.

844
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know yesterday against the Cowboys, it was just okay,

845
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: it was the Aaron Jones Show. I know some of

846
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: it has to do with not having Davontae Adams. They're right,

847
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: like the rest of that wide receiver group is not

848
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: doing anything. Geron Wallison, Marcus Valdes, Scantling, They're not doing anything.

849
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: And I long for the days of Packer fanboy cheering

850
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: for Jeff Janice because maybe that would be something there,

851
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: but that those days are gone. Aaron Rodgers is I

852
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: mean at he's fantasy wise, he's He's mortal, right, bro.

853
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: We We mentioned it earlier in the season and I

854
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: said it. There's no quarterback out there not named Patrick

855
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes who's must start every single week, and Aaron Rodgers

856
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: is a matchup as starter. And it sounds really messed

857
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: up to say that because he's been so great for

858
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: so long. He is a matchup based starter. In that

859
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: game yesterday against the Cowboys, he got game scripted right

860
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: out of doing anything for fantasy owners because Aaron Jones

861
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: was just making midst meat of my defense. It was

862
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: it's a That's one of those games where it's like,

863
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: I want the Cowboys to win because I'm a Cowboys

864
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: fan obviously, but I've got Aaron Jones on like three

865
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: teams and I'm like, well, if he's got a score

866
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, you know, I'm okay with it. I just

867
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: wish the Cowboys had win the game. But if they're

868
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball like this as effectively as they have,

869
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones was tremendous yesterday. And if la Fleur finally

870
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: gets it through his head that wow, this guy is

871
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: pretty good and if he could lean on the run

872
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: like this and that Packers defense, you know, I mean,

873
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit uneven the last couple of weeks,

874
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: but if they're gonna keep them in the games where

875
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: Rogers doesn't have to throw the ball a lot in

876
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: the second half, I think the Aaron Jones. I think

877
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: the Aaron Jones thing lasts as long as Jamal Williams

878
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: is out. When Jamal Williams comes back and get back

879
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: to being what it was, I I hope not. I mean, yeah,

880
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: I agree. Matt la Flour has shown that he wants

881
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: to run the ball, and they want to build this

882
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: team around the running and running play action. And I

883
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: mean they have Aaron Rodgers and that's just what they

884
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: want to do with the ball. And I mean, for

885
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: what it's worth, we can't for fantasy, it sucks obviously

886
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: because they're not growing as much, but for you can't

887
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: argue with it. With that the way their defense is,

888
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: it's there, you know, And one cannot argue with their

889
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: winning games. They've gotten They've gotten gashed, you know, I

890
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: mean Dac was was garbage time. But like Wentz, Wentz

891
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: had the best performance against them, uh this season, and

892
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: other than that, they've been very tough. Yeah, I mean

893
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: what what helped them is jumping out to a lead too.

894
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: So it took it pretty much took Zeke out of

895
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: the game. Playing yesterday, I know, I was thinking Cowboys

896
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: just run him, run him running. The Packers can't stop

897
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: the run, fell behind and he fell behind. So yeah,

898
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: that was it. So is it so you can have Zeke?

899
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he got paid a lot of money, and

900
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm always looking in the fantasy realm, kind of been average.

901
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: Just going back real quick to the Packers. We we've

902
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: gone from Mike McCarthy throwing away too much and not

903
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: running the ball nearly enough, throwing at all. Yeah, and

904
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: that's not throwing at all or being too balanced. Man,

905
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: you can never get this right, uh, George Kittle And

906
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: I know, Fabs you said that he was gonna be

907
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: a bus this year. He's been okay. I mean, like

908
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: in the realm of tight ends as it is, like

909
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: he's a guy that hadn't were the third round pick.

910
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: You're not gonna sit there you know, because you always

911
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: know that that big game is potentially coming. I do

912
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: like him tonight, and he's playing tonight against the Browns.

913
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh GRHADM. I know You've got him in a couple

914
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: of spots here. I've got him in on on one

915
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: or two rosters here. I mean, look, I'm I'm staying

916
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: with him, and I'm just hoping that eventually, Like I

917
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: don't need him to set a record for receiving yards again,

918
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: right but I just want him to, you know, show up. Yeah, look,

919
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I think Kittle is a great by Low. But I

920
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: was with you, fabs, Like the only league I drafted

921
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Kittling was our our Fantasy League one league, and I

922
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: was on the show so many times saying I'm not

923
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: drafting tight ends early, and I end up doing it

924
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: in that league. You know what, I'm owing four because

925
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: of it, And yeah, Davonte Adams and time he's still

926
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: be in that league. But I think Kittle is a

927
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: fantastic by low right now. I mean he he had

928
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in Week one called back due to penalty.

929
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: He's been He's top two among all tight ends and

930
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: target share air yards. He leads the Niners in end

931
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: zone and red zone targets, so at some games. Yeah,

932
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: some big games are coming here for Yeah. I mean again,

933
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: I like him today, I just I just there's there's

934
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: that's the magical season. Man. Last season, there's no way

935
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: he was going to duplicate that. And and that's why

936
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't have him in any leagues except for my

937
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: dynasty league, because he was going too high. Man. He

938
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: said fifty seven or few yards in every game so

939
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: far this season. I think he has a big game tonight,

940
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: But I just feel like you're not gonna get what

941
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: you drafted him to be throughout the course of the season. Yeah. Um,

942
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: I think it'll get better, but again because of the

943
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: way the tight end position is, I mean, you're not

944
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: You're not going to sit him. The good news Marcus

945
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: is that you know he's got the Cardinals twice coming up.

946
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: That helps nine in Week eleven, go get him. Yeah,

947
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: Their next couple of matchups, including the Cardinals. The two

948
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals games are are really yeah. So, I mean so

949
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: the other one and this one's not nearly as dire.

950
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: But Travis Kelsey, right, he has one touchdown all year.

951
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: He's been fine, but again, he hasn't been the Travis

952
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: Kelsey that you probably spent the first round pick on.

953
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: He's the tied end three behind Austin Hooper and from um, look,

954
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: I know this is this is mild panic compared to

955
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: maybe some of the other guys we've talked about. But

956
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for that huge Travis Kelsey blow up game. Right.

957
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: It's just been the touchdowns, aren't there. I mean, he

958
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: has seven or more yards in every game, eight or

959
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: more targets in every game. He's been this he has

960
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: been the exact player you want him to be for fantasy.

961
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: He just hasn't scored yet yet. Leads the position in

962
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: red zone routes run. I mean like he's getting he's

963
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: going to get the opportunities, but it just hasn't happened.

964
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Like it's been a different dude every week. You know,

965
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: week when it was Watkins and it was the Marcus Robinson,

966
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: then for a couple of games it was Hardman, and

967
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: then last night it was it was sorry No, then

968
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: it was then it was Pringle Pringle was I mean

969
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: like it's I mean, mahomes Is throwing the ball to

970
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: the dude that's open. I mean, matter who, it doesn't

971
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: matter what the name in the back of the jersey.

972
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was gonna say. When you're QB God,

973
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter throwing it too as long as you

974
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: can get it. And he got a bunch of targets yesterday.

975
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: Uh dropped a couple of passes, had a couple of opportunities.

976
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: But I mean the tight end is I mean, Hooper

977
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: has been the biggest surprise and he's going to just

978
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: destroy the Cardinals next week. But it is what it is.

979
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean, the discussion is they haven't been as good,

980
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, what's the result?

981
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: Starting there, starting them? Uh. By the way, Byron Pringle

982
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: sounds like the altar eagle of a person who eventually

983
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: becomes a super villain destined to fight out. Yeah, that's right,

984
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: that that is true. Right, Like I don't know what

985
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: his villain name would be, but like he starts off

986
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: as Byron Pringle, like mild manned, mild mannered office worker,

987
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: and then like you know, uh batman smashes his car

988
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: and doesn't pay the insurance bill or something like that. Funny.

989
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: But I mean, hey, you know what if this guy

990
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: ends up being something, He's got the perfect last name

991
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: to get some sort of advertising deal with a certain

992
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: potato chip on. Once the chiefs pop, they can't stop

993
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: say look at Marcus is already right slogans for him.

994
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, Marcus, I've I've long thought you you missed

995
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: your calling. No, he didn't. He's great at what Okay,

996
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: but you missed your calling. Maybe working as a side gig,

997
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: like writing one liners for companies, just catchy one liners,

998
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: should do that. I should see if if anybody's hiring,

999
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,439
Speaker 1: I can be like, you know, part time Madman sort

1000
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: of thing. I was just thinking mad Man. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

1001
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: Imagine Marcus back in like the fifties and smoking a

1002
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: cigarette in an office with a bottle of bourbon. They'll

1003
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: be fine with that, all right. Uh Waiver Wire guys,

1004
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: um as we get ready for four weeks six and

1005
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: you're putting your claims in there. Chris Herndon's top of

1006
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: the list because he's finally back. This is a gross

1007
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 1: week for waiver Wire. It is not a great week.

1008
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Not a great week for waiver I got a few

1009
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: sleepers out there once you. Uh, Chris Herndon definitely is one.

1010
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: I think Gerald ever is another name to keep an

1011
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: eye on because it looks like the Rams are starting

1012
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: to involve him more in the offense there. I mean,

1013
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: obviously he had the huge game on Thursday night, but

1014
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: I think he's starting to kind of work in there

1015
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: and maybe gets to a lesser extent Tyler Higbee as well.

1016
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: Uh there, Mohammed Sanu. Look, it's it's three weeks in

1017
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: a row that he's getting targets, he's making catches. It

1018
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: was nice to see Calvin Ridley come back and have

1019
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: some big plays. But Mohammed Sanus I got I called

1020
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: that one right, He's uh yeah, he's playing around there.

1021
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: Addent Tate, especially now that John Ross is on I

1022
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: r um. Addent Tate's gonna start moving up. And look,

1023
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I I am less and less inclined to

1024
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: believe that A. J. Green is coming back this year

1025
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: because I mean, at this point, yeah, there's no why. Yeah,

1026
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: there's no reason for him to why they're owing five,

1027
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: they're they're for all and get dead traded. He might

1028
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: kind of think Green gets traded, which would actually, you know,

1029
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: inject some potential life into his fantasy season if he

1030
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: ends up out of Cincinnati. But Audent Tate right now

1031
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: is there. I mean, if you're digg and really deep,

1032
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: reallyast Snead has gotten some targets the last couple of

1033
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: weeks he's running. He's actually played more snaps than any

1034
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: of the other Ravens wide receivers. Uh, he's just getting

1035
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: a ton of targets. But maybe they're gonna start to

1036
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: work him in the Bills on a bye this week.

1037
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: But if you're looking at a stash a quarterback, Josh,

1038
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:11,959
Speaker 1: you mentioned the schedule bro Miami, Philly, Washington, Cleveland. Okay,

1039
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: maybe not that tough, maybe not that that easy of

1040
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: a matchup, then Miami again. So like for the next

1041
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: five weeks after the bye, five of his next six games,

1042
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a QB one and uh, he got

1043
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 1: dropped in a bunch of leagues after after he was injured,

1044
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: and now they have a bye. He's only owned in

1045
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. League's like, this is a dude that

1046
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: if I have him, I'm rolling with him after the bye,

1047
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: and if I don't have him, I'm trying to get

1048
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: him some other names John Hilliman, because we don't know

1049
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Giants backfield. Uh, with Sakwan

1050
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: Barkley and Wayne Gallman. He could be worth a look.

1051
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna keep pounding the damn table for Jamison Crowder. Okay,

1052
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: all right, Sam Donald is coming back sooner rather than later.

1053
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: And he loves to throw to the slot thirty six

1054
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: career wise throwing to the slot, So get Crowder. Michael

1055
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: Gallup has not owned in enough leagues and he's tremendous

1056
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: pick came up, uh sleeper Preston Wilson Williams this week

1057
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. They're awful. And Wilson Williams. Preston Wilson

1058
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: for he used to play outfield for the Marlins, didn't

1059
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't there a Preston Wilson Marlins, Mets several team.

1060
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: So Preston Williams, excuse me, is worth a look in

1061
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: a deeper league. And you know, Gardner Minshew is still

1062
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,120

Speaker 1: go oh, Chargers defense too, charges defense against Steve especially

1066
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: U because we we know it looks like gonna be

1067
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: Devlin Hodges starting at quarterback. Way how things I mean

1068
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: you you went from bed Tonio Brown and Levan Bell

1069
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: to Devlin Hodges, James Conner and Juju JJ by the

1070
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,960

1072
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: players out there, and Juju is near the top, if

1073
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: not at the top of my list. I love him, man,

1074
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: He is so good for the game and going through

1075
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: kind of a rough spot at this point in terms

1076
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: of his numbers, But yeah, I love I mean, we

1077
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: say that jujus not have the huge, huge games yet,

1078
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: but he's been fine for Fantasy except for a week four. Yeah,

1079
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean he does just enough. He does just enough

1083
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: bit panicked right now. So all right, I think that
