Speaker 1: Virginia Zakas of Inside Injuries will join us with the
Speaker 1: latest update on te Kwon Barkley, t Y Hilton, and
Speaker 1: a couple of quarterbacks, including both in Buffalo and in Chicago. Frank,
Speaker 1: what's happening man? Happy Thursday to you? Excited four week
Speaker 1: five to start off tonight should be a really good
Speaker 1: game as well, Seattle Seahawks Los Angeles Rams will preview
Speaker 1: that later on in the show, or we could do
Speaker 1: it right now either way, whatever you want to do.
Speaker 1: But on a lot of Fantasy viable players in this
Speaker 1: matchup two. I mean, this is a big game tonight,
Speaker 1: all right. I just we'll do it later on. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying in general, they're like, just it's just a
Speaker 1: general statement. There are a lot of Fantasy Vible players,
Speaker 1: a lot of Fantasy Vible players like last week with
Speaker 1: the Eagels and Packers, are a lot of Fantasy viable players.
Speaker 1: And hopefully we get a game as good as that one,
Speaker 1: because that was a phenomenal game last week. That was
Speaker 1: a fun one. That was a fun one. What's happening, man,
Speaker 1: it's another day, guys. Hockey is underway and you guys
Speaker 1: don't care. But that means that my remote control will
Speaker 1: be getting a good bashing tonight. So it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be. It's gonna be a tough goal, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight through it because I'm a champion. We
Speaker 1: also have MLB playoffs tonight as well, so we will
Speaker 1: also be pounding. I do not care, all right, is
Speaker 1: what it is? It look, best friends don't have to
Speaker 1: agree on everything, that's right. We don't gonna poor e
Speaker 1: wise remote? Man, how many remotes do you go through
Speaker 1: a year? You are, I'm usually good at four or
Speaker 1: five funny to make him a lot better nowadays you've
Speaker 1: got a common your old day. I actually I believe
Speaker 1: you why when he says it too, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you know it's you know it's true. That's funny. I
Speaker 1: have an interesting conundrum about tonight. We'll get in the
Speaker 1: game later on, like I said, but so I have
Speaker 1: Jared Goff is my quarterback, and I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: do I play him tonight? And it's not a great matchup.
Speaker 1: It's on the road. He's much worse on the road
Speaker 1: than he isn't home defense isn't what it once was. Though.
Speaker 1: I also have like Jimmy G and can go with
Speaker 1: Jimmy G Cleveland Monday night, nice Monday night at a
Speaker 1: quarterback I can wait on like this is great. And
Speaker 1: I did something that kind of angle would really I
Speaker 1: killed me for Frank, you looked at your opponent's team.
Speaker 1: I looked at my opponent's team and I saw that
Speaker 1: his top wide receiver it's Brandon Cooks. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to make sure whatever Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks gets points, I'm getting points now. I'm sorry Jared
Speaker 1: Goff tonight. Yeah, I mean personally, I have Jared Goff
Speaker 1: rank higre than Jimmy Garoppolo from the get go. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't just start him based on my opponent having
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, but I will start him based on what
Speaker 1: the numbers are telling me. And um, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with your over Jimmy Garoppolo. Fantastic. So you made the
Speaker 1: right decision, but for the wrong reasons, Greig, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how I get there. Process doesn't matter. Is the
Speaker 1: results over process? Guy? Absolute? Freaking are we? Probably more
Speaker 1: people should be all the results over process? We we
Speaker 1: we probably should be. Who cares how we get there?
Speaker 1: As long as we win? Hey, you know what last
Speaker 1: week I said, Miles Sanders was a great play. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: One of the Eagles running backs were a great play
Speaker 1: process results. Do you feel right about that? I do
Speaker 1: feel good that one of the Eagles running backs went off.
Speaker 1: Obviously I wish that it was Miles Sanders. I don't
Speaker 1: own Sanders anywhere, but I think that the logic in
Speaker 1: you know, using the Eagles running backs against the Packers
Speaker 1: last Thursday night was good logic. Just so happens that, uh,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, So uh,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a you know, half and half.
Speaker 1: You know you got it right technically, but you didn't.
Speaker 1: This is weird. Let me start off today's show with
Speaker 1: a non injury related news. But we are we talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday. I think, e y, it's worth getting back
Speaker 1: into today. And that's the fun Diggs, right, because the
Speaker 1: fun Diggs. Someone's brewin in Minnesota. We saw a sweets
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, Frank we were shorts and him
Speaker 1: Feeling asking for a trade, just the fond Digs asking
Speaker 1: for a trade. Every answer that this guy gives this
Speaker 1: question like, hey, why do you miss practice yesterday? I
Speaker 1: had a cold. You're a professional athlete. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: a cold. It's not even going to work. No, no,
Speaker 1: definitely not. Uh. I mean it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: poor excuse. There's obviously where there's smoke, there's fire, and
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit. You gotta understand the frustration there.
Speaker 1: This isn't an all star wide receiver playing with Adam Feeling.
Speaker 1: Another All star wide receiver, and they're just not throwing
Speaker 1: the ball. And when they are, kirk Cousins has been
Speaker 1: rancid this year. He has not been good um with it.
Speaker 1: Their ability to run the ball. You thought that it
Speaker 1: would just make throwing the ball easier, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be the thing. Minnesota is really struggling to
Speaker 1: throw the ball, getting their their wide receivers going at all,
Speaker 1: and and being stefon Diggs and and not being targeted,
Speaker 1: and on being thrown to a few times a game.
Speaker 1: It's got to be frustrating. This isn't the first time
Speaker 1: we'll see a Diva likewide receiver. It's not the last
Speaker 1: time we'll see this either in the NFL. But these
Speaker 1: guys are super talented. Man. They want to get the ball,
Speaker 1: understand it. And look, you could say what you want
Speaker 1: about Adam Feeling. He probably shouldn't have made those comments publicly.
Speaker 1: Should have done it, you know, behind closed doors. Talked
Speaker 1: to uh kirk Cousins himself, talked to the offensive coordinator himself.
Speaker 1: But ultimately he's not wrong. Everything he said in that
Speaker 1: postgame interview was right. You're not going to be able
Speaker 1: to run the ball against every team, and especially against
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, you have to be able to adapt.
Speaker 1: Even when you're league leading rusher Dalvin Cook is only
Speaker 1: rushing for thirty five yards, you have to do something
Speaker 1: differently and you have to be able to adjust. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was right and everything that he said, he just
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said it publicly. So I understand these guys
Speaker 1: are frustrated, but you know, if they were winning while
Speaker 1: just running the football all the time, nobody would be
Speaker 1: saying a single thing. Greg It all comes down to winning.
Speaker 1: So they're losing and at the same time they're trying
Speaker 1: to run the football. But if they were winning, nobody
Speaker 1: would be saying anything no doubt and all is right
Speaker 1: in the world when you win. But I don't know
Speaker 1: that this is Steven Diggs being like the diva wide receivers,
Speaker 1: ain't throwing me in the damn ball right like he didn't.
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling was the one that came out as it passed.
Speaker 1: We got passed the ball a little bit. Stefon Diggs
Speaker 1: finally scores a touchdown this past week and finally gets
Speaker 1: involved in the officers over a hundred yards silver hundred
Speaker 1: yards receiving me exactly, but he he can't excelt it.
Speaker 1: He's signed the contract, right, he's he's there, he got
Speaker 1: his money. I get it, but he can't excel it.
Speaker 1: He's not even that. He's screaming and throw me the
Speaker 1: damn balls, Adam, and he was like, we need to
Speaker 1: open on the offense. In general, Minnesota, it's stuck in
Speaker 1: the fifties. Yere looks that's the way that they want
Speaker 1: to go down with the ship, right, Mike Zimmer. He
Speaker 1: wants to coach defense, he wants to run the football.
Speaker 1: They want to be a smash mouth football team, which
Speaker 1: is weird because they're paying Kirk Cousins all this money.
Speaker 1: I still kind of think Diggs has like a deeva
Speaker 1: thing going on, but we'll save that for the other side. Greg.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. We'll get more into this conversation
Speaker 1: and a lot more here on THEFS Daily Rhodo dot
Speaker 1: Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't
Speaker 1: just give you premier advice. We play every day, all
Speaker 1: major sports, all year round. We never stopped industry leading
Speaker 1: DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily Rodo
Speaker 1: dot Com optimizer in minutes, building optimize line up for
Speaker 1: cash games and turneys learned from the game's best DFS
Speaker 1: players joined Daily Rodo dot Com Tap with you, dff
Speaker 1: no A little bit less hair, righty, Sam, Well, you're
Speaker 1: like Sospan year as well, one of the alienist divine
Speaker 1: Diggs a little bit and Adam Feeling and the vices
Speaker 1: they take all the New York Giants League story. You're
Speaker 1: revolving around the Giants. Isn't the return of Golden Tape
Speaker 1: this week? Frank? But Barkley didn't officially practice Wednesday or Thursday.
Speaker 1: But he's running, he's cutting, he's jumping, not running at
Speaker 1: full speed, but he's coming back sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: He spent on that money on Wayne Goldman that I apologize,
Speaker 1: But listen, Takoon Barkley. I don't think he plays Sunday.
Speaker 1: I've been I'm very honest with you. I don't think
Speaker 1: he pays next week either, because it's a Thursday night game.
Speaker 1: You got a full ten days off after that, and
Speaker 1: they'll be back week seven. That's the four week timetable
Speaker 1: he was given initially. I think that's the most likely scenario.
Speaker 1: I think this comes down to how foolish the New
Speaker 1: York Giants organization really wants to be Do they really
Speaker 1: think that they can compete this year? Because they won
Speaker 1: the last two games and they're really that excited about
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. You have to be realistic with yourself because, ay,
Speaker 1: you'd be rushing back, your superstar running back to go
Speaker 1: up against the Vikings and Patriots, two games you're probably
Speaker 1: not going to win. I mean, maybe they have a
Speaker 1: chance against the Vikings, but against the Patriots on Thursday
Speaker 1: night football, that's probably not going to happen. So you
Speaker 1: have to be realistic with yourself, and ultimately they should
Speaker 1: probably go down the route that you're saying, Greg and
Speaker 1: you know, give him until I guess that would be
Speaker 1: Week seven because he would have all that extra time
Speaker 1: after the Thursday night football game. But everyone has seen
Speaker 1: the video, or if you haven't, go on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's circulating right now. Where he's he's running,
Speaker 1: he's you know, not at full speed, but he's he's cutting,
Speaker 1: he's jumping, he's doing things. I mean, there's a chance
Speaker 1: that this guy is just you know, the next this
Speaker 1: generation's version of Adrian Peterson, and he's just this crazy
Speaker 1: athlete that can recover from injuries at a reckless pace,
Speaker 1: but there's also a chance that he can re injure
Speaker 1: himself by coming back too quickly. So there are a
Speaker 1: lot of things going on right now. But obviously, if
Speaker 1: you own Sae Kwon Barkley and he plays, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get him in your wine up. But you know, what
Speaker 1: do you do with Wayne Gelman right now? Try and
Speaker 1: trade him to the Sae Kwon Barkley owner. But outside
Speaker 1: of that, I mean, there's not really much else you're
Speaker 1: gonna do because you can't really train it for anything
Speaker 1: else right now, Greg, it's you know, your window to
Speaker 1: sell Wayne Goldman is pretty much gone. And I love
Speaker 1: potentially Saguon Barkley also probably gone. Yeah, And and this
Speaker 1: is why those those questions are so hard to answer.
Speaker 1: Right people ask us questions about trying to trade for
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley when an injury first occurs, trying to
Speaker 1: trade for Tyreek Hill when an injury first occurs. I mean,
Speaker 1: we can really only go by the timetables that were
Speaker 1: given and the information that we're given by you know,
Speaker 1: people who study the injury analysis. Right like, we're gonna
Speaker 1: have Virginia on the show today, we can really only
Speaker 1: go based on what we're told, Greg. So you know,
Speaker 1: for all the people that asked last week, oh, well,
Speaker 1: should I try and trade sake Kwon Barkley for a
Speaker 1: late season surge, we told you know, because at the
Speaker 1: time we thought that that was the right answer. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't find me a person who didn't think that
Speaker 1: that was the right answer. So there are a lot
Speaker 1: of moving parts when it comes to injury optimism, especially
Speaker 1: in a contact sports like fantasy football. Greg, absolutely, you
Speaker 1: have to um everything is not as easy as it
Speaker 1: appears for us to predict ultimately, and when it comes
Speaker 1: to Kuon Barkley, he's super human and get that for
Speaker 1: like two weeks kind of crazy when we thought he
Speaker 1: could be done for the entire season. We'll get more
Speaker 1: in Sable Martin when we talked to Virginia zakas in
Speaker 1: a little bit. But Frank and anyway, it is our Thursday,
Speaker 1: which means not our leftover segment where we take a
Speaker 1: look at some of the leftovers. I just forgot I
Speaker 1: didn't tell them downstairs to play said, yeah, it's perfectly
Speaker 1: fine left over. Yeah, So some of the leftovers for
Speaker 1: today on the waiver wire. Include someone I picked up
Speaker 1: this morning, e Y in a fantasy league that we're
Speaker 1: all in together, the pit league, and that's Keyshaw Johnson
Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals. Christian Kirk may not play here
Speaker 1: this Sunday. I heard reports he's out, He's not out, whatever,
Speaker 1: We don't know. He's gonna play this week, which means
Speaker 1: Keishawn Johnson could see an increase in snaps. You know
Speaker 1: that Larry Fitzgerald isn't a good spot against Cincinnati's thinking
Speaker 1: can be said um for on the other side, for
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd and Tyler Eifford, everyone's talking abou Aud and Tate.
Speaker 1: No one's really talking about Keshan Johnson. Should they be
Speaker 1: and should we pick him up? Y? Yeah? I feel
Speaker 1: like he's a good flex at the roady is is
Speaker 1: that offense? I mean me included, it's it's been pretty
Speaker 1: disappointing so far. It hasn't been what I thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be what a lot of people thought
Speaker 1: it was going to be. Um And the the other
Speaker 1: thing he gains it fantasy wise is they spread the
Speaker 1: ball all over the place. There. I read a stat
Speaker 1: I think it was a couple of couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago that they've lined up, I think thirty more in
Speaker 1: four wide receivers set than the entire league combined. So
Speaker 1: think about that, more than thirty one other teams combined.
Speaker 1: So there's always four receivers plus on the field and
Speaker 1: David Johnson, so it's a it's a dart throw. Fitzgerald,
Speaker 1: I think, is the only guy you can really trust.
Speaker 1: But if Kurt doesn't play, Keejohn Johnson could see a bump.
Speaker 1: And they also said that any Isabella will play on
Speaker 1: the outside, and that's a guy that has all of
Speaker 1: the intangibles, but we haven't seen it yet out of
Speaker 1: them this year. Yeah, I agree with what Uy saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I want exposure to this offense because
Speaker 1: there's so much play volume and they throw the ball
Speaker 1: a lot. They have the third highest past percentage in
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. If Christian Kirk is out, I
Speaker 1: think Keyshawn Johnson sees an uptick in snaps. But the
Speaker 1: truth remains Gregg that last week, Trent Shirtfield, Yes you
Speaker 1: know that Trent Shutfield played eighty four percent of the
Speaker 1: snaps while Keyshawn Johnson only played fifty seven percent. So
Speaker 1: has Trent Shurfield really leap frogs Keyshan Johnson at this point.
Speaker 1: It's something to pay attention to, you know, how they
Speaker 1: line up this week, their snap percentage as well. But
Speaker 1: if Christian Kirk is not there, Christian Kirk is currently
Speaker 1: leading this team with of the target share if he's
Speaker 1: not out there with a team that likes to passed
Speaker 1: the ball this much and going up against the Bengals defense,
Speaker 1: which is a good matchup. Ke Shan Johnson is sneaky,
Speaker 1: uh And I like the name that you brought up to,
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella. I mean, this is someone that they were
Speaker 1: really excited about drafting him earlier. I believe it was
Speaker 1: either the second or the third round in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1: He's a smaller fellow, but he's extremely quick and he's
Speaker 1: got really good hands as well. So pay attention to
Speaker 1: Andy Isabella as well. In deeper leaves. Kind of feels
Speaker 1: like now I feels like the fantasy community is waiting
Speaker 1: for Andy Isabella to to break out a bit. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we're just higher on him than the
Speaker 1: Arson Cardinals are. He's running what like fifth most out
Speaker 1: of the wide receiver at the moment. Yeah, he has
Speaker 1: not really seen much game action, if any so far
Speaker 1: this year. I think they've used them a little bit
Speaker 1: on special teams. So there's clearly something that he's not
Speaker 1: doing right, like either not picking up the playbook or
Speaker 1: not running the right routes right away. But they pulled
Speaker 1: him off the draft board in the NFL draft, so
Speaker 1: there's something that they like about him. It just hasn't
Speaker 1: come to fruition yet. Greg, absolutely, So we will see. Um.
Speaker 1: We will see if any Zabella this Sunday I could
Speaker 1: get in the mix with the Arizona Cardinals. Uh. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Auto Tate, he is not part of our leftovers
Speaker 1: because he got kind of in just before. Um. This
Speaker 1: is where the buzzer on Tuesday night before people put
Speaker 1: in their waivers, the news about John Ross being injured.
Speaker 1: How injured he was. I spent in my budget on
Speaker 1: Autumn Tate last night in an NFFC league that was
Speaker 1: twenty roster spots. Is that a mistake? Greg? Probably? The
Speaker 1: backup bid was dollars. So I'm kind of kicking myself
Speaker 1: because originally I had a hundred and twenty two and
Speaker 1: I bumped it up to two hundred and twenty two
Speaker 1: because I really needed him I needed wide receivers in
Speaker 1: this league. The NFFC format is deeper Tony roster spots
Speaker 1: is not as many free agents, so I really needed
Speaker 1: him and I was aggressive on him. Give you another
Speaker 1: name that way we ought to picking up in gs
Speaker 1: t e Y. That was your guy, ke QT on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire in a lot of places. We talked
Speaker 1: about him a bit in the Waiver Wire show on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But he's out there in a lot of leaves. Can
Speaker 1: He still has not expected to play this week, And
Speaker 1: this is a spot and you guys can can jump
Speaker 1: in here as well. That I think that Texans get right,
Speaker 1: Like Atlanta has been really primed to allow big plays.
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, will Fuller and potentially k QT could really
Speaker 1: get right this week. If Qt is out there, Eric,
Speaker 1: are you picking them up? Look, if you need wide
Speaker 1: receiver help that then that's a guy that could do it. That.
Speaker 1: The Texans haven't been what everyone thought they were going
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, I don't think there was many
Speaker 1: people that weren't. That wasn't taking DeShawn Watson in the
Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks. He has not uh delivered on that um.
Speaker 1: The running back situations confusing Duke Johnson goes there and
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna be a big deal. And Kiki
Speaker 1: Qt was the training camp darling until he hurt his ankle. Uh.
Speaker 1: I was hoping once he came back he would be
Speaker 1: more figured in, But I mean he's basically done completely nothing.
Speaker 1: I think I've dropped him in almost every league I
Speaker 1: had him in, and listen, I had him in probably
Speaker 1: of my team's huge disappointment. But I'll be keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on him. If he's somebody that you need or
Speaker 1: if you have room, wouldn't be a bad stash. If
Speaker 1: Kenny still is gonna miss some weeks, he could resolidify
Speaker 1: himself as the slot guy there. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: a deeper ad right now if you're desperate for a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, especially in this spot going up against the Falcons,
Speaker 1: who have allowed five receiving touchdowns to wide receivers over
Speaker 1: the past two weeks, so their defense is completely getting shredded.
Speaker 1: I think it's a big get right spot for DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins if you could still try and buy him right now.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to buy him in basically every league
Speaker 1: that I'm in. You know, people are still holding onto
Speaker 1: his name value and that's the right way to approach
Speaker 1: it if you own DeAndre Hopkins. But on the other side,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to acquire him. I think it's a big
Speaker 1: week for Will Fuller as well. Those guys are just
Speaker 1: playing so many more snaps than Kiki QT. I'm also
Speaker 1: holding out hope on Duke Johnson. You know, his snap
Speaker 1: percentage went up last week, played six of the snaps
Speaker 1: on a perk touch basis, severely outperforming Carlos Hido was
Speaker 1: tweeting tweeting about this earlier in the week, drink, I
Speaker 1: don't know what else Duke Johnson asked due to earn
Speaker 1: more touches, but I'm hoping that this is the week
Speaker 1: that that actually happens. So a lot to pay attention
Speaker 1: to Duke versus Kiki QT. But I think it's a
Speaker 1: big get, right spot. You're right, Greg, for both t
Speaker 1: hop and Will Fuller. When we come back here on
Speaker 1: the VFS, were joining Virginia Zakis of Inside Injury. She
Speaker 1: helped us break down what we know about these quarterbacks
Speaker 1: on Markley and Morris the Ground Daily Rhodo dot Com
Speaker 1: learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't just
Speaker 1: give you premier advice. We play every day, all major sports,
Speaker 1: all year round. We never stopped industry leading DFS tools
Speaker 1: and custom projections, and now Daily Rhodos dot Com optimize
Speaker 1: that in minutes, building, optimize line. I'm for cash games
Speaker 1: and Turney's learned from the game's best DFS players joined
Speaker 1: Daily Roado dot com. Back with you here on the
Speaker 1: bff S. E y around, Franks around and now also around.
Speaker 1: It's our favorite doctor in charge Virginias. What's happen in Virginia?
Speaker 1: Guys has a gun? What's going on? It's going fantastically back,
Speaker 1: especially with the news that set Kwon Barkley already cutting,
Speaker 1: already running. Things look good for se Kwon Barkley. Let's
Speaker 1: say you, No, he's looking a lot better than I
Speaker 1: expected him to right now. But I think we still
Speaker 1: need to slow down a little bit here. Um. He
Speaker 1: was officially listed as a d n P yesterday. I
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna happen again today. Um, even though
Speaker 1: he was out there on the field running through some drills. Um,
Speaker 1: we're still showing that his ankle is going to take
Speaker 1: around six weeks to fully heal. Um. I think if
Speaker 1: he returns this weekend. His injury risk is sitting above
Speaker 1: fifty percent right now, which is incredibly high. UM. He
Speaker 1: looked like he was still favoring that right ankle and
Speaker 1: some of the clips I watched from practice yesterday and today.
Speaker 1: So he really should not play this weekend, even though
Speaker 1: they're still leaving the door obin for him to be active.
Speaker 1: UM really needs a minimum of four weeks. He's going
Speaker 1: to be high risk until he hits that six week mark.
Speaker 1: UM still pretty concerned about him, but it is looking
Speaker 1: like he's gonna very easily beat that. You know, six
Speaker 1: to eight week timeline wouldn't be the first time we've
Speaker 1: seen a running back just returned from an injury way
Speaker 1: too quickly. Adrian Peterson has done it in the past
Speaker 1: as well. But don't drop your Wayne Goldman shares, because
Speaker 1: as you heard from Virginia, he could be at a
Speaker 1: fifty percent chance of re injury if we if he
Speaker 1: does play as soon as he is trying to get
Speaker 1: back on the field, So pay attention to that. Virginia.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Davantae Adams. I am
Speaker 1: heavily invested in Davante Adams this season had him as
Speaker 1: my wide receiver one coming into the season. Fun fact,
Speaker 1: greg I heard the fantasy tash Jim Day talking about
Speaker 1: Davante Adams throughout the Fantasy Football frenzy and he described
Speaker 1: the injury as quote, it's turf it's a toe, so
Speaker 1: it's gotta be turf toe. So what can you tell
Speaker 1: me about turf toe here, Virginia. Do we expect Ivanta
Speaker 1: Adams to play this week? And if he does manage
Speaker 1: to suit up, you know what, you know, how healthy
Speaker 1: is he actually going to be? Yeah, so we do
Speaker 1: think Adam's injury is turf toe. UM. All turf toe,
Speaker 1: as though, is a sprain to the main joint in
Speaker 1: the big toe. Very important for a wide receiver because
Speaker 1: pushing off to start a route, getting off the line,
Speaker 1: quickly changing direction, all of those movements start with the
Speaker 1: big toe. So it can be very painful to play
Speaker 1: through and it's very easy to aggravate. Um. The best
Speaker 1: comparison we have is A J. Green last year. Now,
Speaker 1: his seems like a much more serious case of turf toe,
Speaker 1: and it's something he battled in the past. So I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to scare you quite like you know, Green
Speaker 1: last year. But it is still something to watch. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to play this week. Um. He
Speaker 1: didn't practice yesterday and he's not practicing again today. UM.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the m r I was relatively clean,
Speaker 1: but did still show a little bit of damage to
Speaker 1: the toe. UM. Based on all of that, we are
Speaker 1: giving him a five week optimal recovery time. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's actually gonna miss that much time, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna take him around five weeks for that toe to
Speaker 1: fully heal, and if he returns in the next week
Speaker 1: or two, he's going to continue to push back that
Speaker 1: healthy to return date because it's not going to fully
Speaker 1: heal within the five weeks because he's not going to
Speaker 1: have enough rest. So if he does suit up this
Speaker 1: week or next, he's at a very very high risk
Speaker 1: of re injury. UM. And that includes either aggravating his
Speaker 1: turf toe or suffering a compensatory injury. Greggy, this is
Speaker 1: a tough situation too, because from my perspective right as
Speaker 1: a Davante Adams owner, like I don't want him to
Speaker 1: rush back, but you need him, and you know there
Speaker 1: are players that have been able to play through injury
Speaker 1: not and still put up fantasy numbers. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, Virginia mentions that risk for re injury when
Speaker 1: it comes to Davante Adams. So this is a really,
Speaker 1: really tough situation right now. Adams those play e y.
Speaker 1: Who's the biggest benefactor in this packer's office is that
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is MVS? Is Jono Allison who I saw
Speaker 1: I was picked up in a lot of places this week.
Speaker 1: Who is the biggest beneficiary here? For me? I put
Speaker 1: my money on MVS. Uh, he's going to play on
Speaker 1: the outside. He'll be in on on probably every single down. Um,
Speaker 1: Allison could play, but uh on more downs. But he
Speaker 1: is the slot guy and they don't. Uh. They haven't
Speaker 1: been using the slot as much. Alison hasn't had that
Speaker 1: many targets this year. He has had some touchdowns. Um,
Speaker 1: but if I was the place of bed, I would
Speaker 1: go with MBS. This hurts my heart, Greg, You know
Speaker 1: this hurts my heart because I have a lot of
Speaker 1: shares of Davantae Adams, a lot of money rotting on
Speaker 1: him as well. So this is a bad situation. You
Speaker 1: can't even really trade him either because you'd be getting
Speaker 1: suppressed value. Absolutely totally a Virginia. Zak is from Inside
Speaker 1: Injuries Virginia. Couple of quarterbacks got hurt last week and
Speaker 1: that included Josh Allen, who took a brutal hit, uh,
Speaker 1: really brutal hit from um from a Patriots there, and
Speaker 1: we thought he might have been significantly hurt. He got up,
Speaker 1: he actually ran off the locker room by himself. You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, he's a right, never came back. He was
Speaker 1: throwing yesterday practicing, but he hasn't obviously clear concussion protocol
Speaker 1: quite yet. What's the deal with Josh Allen? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he participated in individual drills at practice yesterday, UM, only
Speaker 1: non contact drills. That tells me that he's in the
Speaker 1: next to last step of concussion protocol. UM. I'd give
Speaker 1: him slightly better than a fifty fifty shot at suiting
Speaker 1: up this weekend. UM. I don't think it's a given
Speaker 1: just because he was out there, but I don't need
Speaker 1: to get in another solid practice today and then hopefully
Speaker 1: cleared for a full practice tomorrow. UM. As long as
Speaker 1: his concussion symptoms don't come back, UM, he should be cleared. UM.
Speaker 1: But we'll have to keep keep a close eye on
Speaker 1: him over the next few days. He also does not
Speaker 1: have a history of concussions, which is good, but he
Speaker 1: does have some other injuries to his name, um, including
Speaker 1: a UCL sprain last year and multiple clavical fractures, so
Speaker 1: those shouldn't come into play here. Good thing that there's
Speaker 1: no pass concussions, but um, we still needn't need to
Speaker 1: watch him closely over the next few days. That's Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: We gotta just wait, wait this out a little bit.
Speaker 1: We have to figure out will he cleared a protocol.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem overly significant, thankfully, the Bills do have
Speaker 1: a bye coming out after this week. Maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit more cautious, Frankie, Yeah, and it's it's not the
Speaker 1: same type of injury, but it's a similar situation to
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinsky who's dealing with this left shoulder injury, not
Speaker 1: to his throwing shoulder. Actually saw a funny tweet where
Speaker 1: someone said, well, he doesn't have any throwing shoulders when
Speaker 1: it comes to Mitchell Robinsky. But ultimately, they have a
Speaker 1: bye in week six, so they can hold Trabisky out
Speaker 1: this week they're playing in London against the Oakland Raiders,
Speaker 1: and then he can return in week seven, so Virginia.
Speaker 1: What do you guys have on Mitchell Robinsky. I seen him,
Speaker 1: probably more so on the doubtful side of things. Is
Speaker 1: that what the algorithm is saying as well? Yep, I
Speaker 1: don't see any way he plays this weekend, but our
Speaker 1: algorithm is actually showing that he can fairly safely return
Speaker 1: to the field in around three weeks. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: closer to or to five weeks for that slight labor
Speaker 1: and tear to heal. But you know, the good news
Speaker 1: is the m r I showed that it wasn't anything
Speaker 1: too severe, so therefore it should be able to heal
Speaker 1: on its own without surgery. Um. It's always possible in
Speaker 1: the off season he'll have a little clean up procedure
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, But for right now, I don't think
Speaker 1: we need to be concerned about surgery. UM. And the
Speaker 1: bye week is actually coming in a good time, so
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if we see him UM
Speaker 1: right after that. His injury risk is high right now
Speaker 1: if he plays this weekend, UM, not only because he
Speaker 1: could cause more damage to his left shoulder, but it
Speaker 1: could affect his play a little bit because he could
Speaker 1: try to avoid hits to that left side or falling
Speaker 1: on his left side, which puts the rest of his
Speaker 1: body at risk. But I think if he waits it
Speaker 1: out three weeks, he should be good to go. Well,
Speaker 1: your super Flex owners out there, make sure you pick
Speaker 1: up Chase Daniel if you were depending on Trabisky. I
Speaker 1: know it's been a really rough star for Trabisky, but
Speaker 1: pretty good matchup for Chase Daniel going up against this
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders defense as well, So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect your Bisky this week, Greig. I also wouldn't.
Speaker 1: So that brings me once again over to you, e y,
Speaker 1: who would you rather start super Flex League? If Josh
Speaker 1: Allen doesn't play and Drew Whisky doesn't play, would you
Speaker 1: rather start Matt Barkley? Would you rather start Chase Daniel?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably go Daniel here. Um, the Titans defense
Speaker 1: has been pretty decent. Uh, And that's like I'm flying
Speaker 1: the colors. Everyone knows, But I mean the truth is,
Speaker 1: the defense has been pretty good. Uh. Daniel looked decent,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he looked he looked pretty decent
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see. Um. The Chicago Bears
Speaker 1: offense with I feel like Daniel is probably a better
Speaker 1: thrower than Drue Whisky, which isn't is just absolutely insane
Speaker 1: to say out loud, being high they took him in
Speaker 1: the draft, But yeah, Daniel would be my bet there.
Speaker 1: I also agree with Chase Daniel. I just I think
Speaker 1: they can just utilize three coen much like they did
Speaker 1: last week and dump it and dump it and dump
Speaker 1: it all game long. We continue on here with viginiaza
Speaker 1: Is from Inside Injuries in Virginia. Let me move on
Speaker 1: and let me get to Pittsburgh where James Connor hurt
Speaker 1: his ankle in this game on Sunday night or Monday
Speaker 1: night rather and says he's fine, I'm good, but you
Speaker 1: know it's now two four weeks he's hurt. There's ankle.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Jalen Samuel on Monday night. How's
Speaker 1: James Connor's ankle looking? Um? So we missed practice yesterday
Speaker 1: and never good to see a guy start off the
Speaker 1: week with a miss practice. Um, we don't know his
Speaker 1: participation yet today, but if he misses another practice today,
Speaker 1: I will definitely be very concerned about him. Um, he's
Speaker 1: a high injury risk right now. He was actually already
Speaker 1: an elevated injury risk because he previously injured his knee
Speaker 1: this year. Um, and he has a history of an
Speaker 1: m c L tear and suffered a high ankle sprain
Speaker 1: last season. UM. I'm not sure if it's the same
Speaker 1: ankle as the one that's currently injured or not. But
Speaker 1: that's a lot of injuries over the last two seasons,
Speaker 1: so definitely concerned about him, especially these lower body injuries.
Speaker 1: They're now piling up, So if he does play, he's
Speaker 1: going to be a high injury risk. Those ligaments and
Speaker 1: his ankles are stretched out, which means he's much more
Speaker 1: susceptible to rolling that ankle again. Um. You know, it
Speaker 1: could be like a Lashawn McCoy situation where he plays
Speaker 1: but he isn't able to finish the game. So I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be pretty risky to play him this weekend. UM,
Speaker 1: best us knowing as history as that he tries to
Speaker 1: play through it, but he's not going to be And
Speaker 1: that is all part of the reason why I wanted
Speaker 1: to spend a decent amount of fab on Jalen Samuel
Speaker 1: was this week if he was available in your league, Virginia,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about another running back dealing
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. That's Marlon Mack and I just
Speaker 1: saw the practice report is that he did not practice
Speaker 1: again today on Thursday dealing with this ankle injury. Expected
Speaker 1: to play against the Kansas City Chiefs, which is a
Speaker 1: good matchup for running backs on the ground. But if
Speaker 1: he's not good to go, uh and the Colts, you know,
Speaker 1: getting as many points as they are, we could be
Speaker 1: looking at Niheim Hines is a pretty good flex option.
Speaker 1: So you know, what, what do you guys have on
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack? Do you expect him to play this week?
Speaker 1: I know he's been dealing with a ton of injuries
Speaker 1: so far this year, and he does have an extensive
Speaker 1: injury history as well. Yep, this situation is pretty similar
Speaker 1: to James Conner Um last season he had multiple hamstring
Speaker 1: injuries that forced him to miss time and then also
Speaker 1: foot and ankle injuries that he tried to play through
Speaker 1: UM and wasn't always that successful. So definitely concerned that
Speaker 1: he's starting off the week with two miss practices. UM.
Speaker 1: I think there's actually a decent shot that he suits
Speaker 1: up because again that's what he tried to do last year.
Speaker 1: A lot of the time he played through injuries when
Speaker 1: he really shouldn't have. UM caused his injuries to linger
Speaker 1: and lead to other injuries. Those foot and ankle ones
Speaker 1: last season were definitely related, So I'm very concerned about him.
Speaker 1: He was already a high injury risk even before picking
Speaker 1: up this injury last week. UM, now it's even higher.
Speaker 1: Hovering around his health performance factor is also poor, so
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to play very well if
Speaker 1: he is active. Um It's just hard for a running
Speaker 1: back to cut and run full speed if they're dealing
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. So I'm definitely concerned about him.
Speaker 1: Penning into this weekend, Zack Is. We appreciate the time,
Speaker 1: as we do each and every week, follow him at
Speaker 1: Inside Injuries Virginia. Have a great weekend. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you next week, so good luck. All right when we
Speaker 1: come back Thursday night football, we'll get into that. Seattle
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles would be a good game tonight. Uh
Speaker 1: from the link, Yes, that's also the lord able to
Speaker 1: link from the link in Seattle. Stick around. Who are
Speaker 1: we playing who evening and who are we predicting to win?
Speaker 1: Tell you next daily Rhodo Dot com learned from the
Speaker 1: game's best DFS players. We don't just give you premier advice.
Speaker 1: We play every day, all major sports, all year round.
Speaker 1: We never stopped industry leading DFS tools and custom projections
Speaker 1: and now the Daily Rodo dot Com Optimizer in minutes
Speaker 1: building optimized line up for cash games and turneys learned
Speaker 1: from the game's best DFS players joined Daily rodo dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, we're back here on the b f S
Speaker 1: Frank Stanville, Eric Young and I and you're ready for
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football tonight Seahawks and Rams. Not that any
Speaker 1: leftovers to get into from this week on the waiver wire,
Speaker 1: we said it all along my great waiver wire, reaching
Speaker 1: much what the one of the one of the players
Speaker 1: nobody I mentioned that you were during the bring navn
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. He could be out there and given what
Speaker 1: we heard about Davante Adams is injury, e y, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Graham maybe somebody worth picking up. Yeah, for sure. I
Speaker 1: mean we saw at the end of the game when
Speaker 1: when Adams went out that that would look like the
Speaker 1: number one target for Aaron Rodgers. Uh, Jimmy Graham is
Speaker 1: still a huge red zone target. He's not definitely not
Speaker 1: a fleet of foot anymore. It was never super fast,
Speaker 1: but I mean he it looks like he's running in molasses,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's still a massive human being that
Speaker 1: can box people out and go up and get the ball,
Speaker 1: so that that he's definitely in tight end, He's definitely
Speaker 1: a guy to play. HEAVN ranks does a top twelve
Speaker 1: tight end as of now. It's a pretty good matchup
Speaker 1: going up against the Cowboys. They've allowed the tenth most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing tight end so far this year.
Speaker 1: They allowed a monster game to Evan and Graham in
Speaker 1: Week one as well. I heard Jim Day talking about
Speaker 1: this during the Fantasy Football Frenzy that so far it's
Speaker 1: been a small sample size, but whenever Davantae Adams has
Speaker 1: been off the field so far this season, Jimmy Graham's
Speaker 1: target share goes up. His target share and had the
Speaker 1: red zone goes up massively as well. So uh, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers said he wants to get Jimmy Graham more involved.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he tried to do last week on
Speaker 1: Thursday Night. Craig absolutely now speaking on Thursday Night Thursday Tonight,
Speaker 1: Rams and Seahawks kick off a lot of sports on
Speaker 1: tonight with the NHL and MLB, and of course NFL
Speaker 1: ready to go Rams. Frankie started this game as a
Speaker 1: small favorite since that opened on Sunday night. There now
Speaker 1: a few points underdog. Why is that? I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: You know, I was asking you about this and it's
Speaker 1: a tough call right now. I think you know people
Speaker 1: are looking at you know, Jared Goffe's career numbers on
Speaker 1: the road, and the fact that this Rams team hasn't
Speaker 1: played as well away from Los Angeles, and the fact
Speaker 1: that Seattle does have a legitimate home field advantage. When
Speaker 1: I saw that this line has moved three and a
Speaker 1: half points, I asked you, is there an injury that
Speaker 1: I miss? Is there's something going on because normally you
Speaker 1: don't see a line move that much unless you know
Speaker 1: there was like an injury to a quarterback or something.
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, Jared Goff has not played as
Speaker 1: well this year. I've read a few things about him
Speaker 1: that teams are starting to do more of what the
Speaker 1: Pats did in the Super Bowl, where they kind of
Speaker 1: show one defense up until when Sean McVeigh is out
Speaker 1: of Jared Goff's ear and then they kind of change
Speaker 1: everything else up. Uh, And we know that Jared Goff
Speaker 1: basically leans a lot on Sean McVeigh in order to um,
Speaker 1: you know, get the offense going and get the right
Speaker 1: play and get everything lined up. And you know, when
Speaker 1: he doesn't have Sean mcveih and is here, Greg, he's
Speaker 1: basically a deer in the headlights. And we saw that
Speaker 1: last week where you turn the ball over four times.
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's really that home field advantage
Speaker 1: and the fact that Jared Goff has not played as
Speaker 1: well away from Los Angeles so far in his career.
Speaker 1: That's That's the only thing that I could think of.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Jared Goff, we mentioned him earlier. Where do
Speaker 1: you have him ranked, Maggy? I know you have him
Speaker 1: ahead Jimmy Garoppolo. Where do you have him ranked in general?
Speaker 1: I have him ranked at QB fourteen as of now,
Speaker 1: one spot behind Jacoby Brucette, one spot ahead of Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, so he's not not
Speaker 1: a QB one for He's not a lot to start
Speaker 1: this week now, No, he's not a lot to start
Speaker 1: or and he saying Jacoby Brisette is ahead of who
Speaker 1: else has right at him? I have Dak Prescott just
Speaker 1: ahead of him, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Riverters, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. So not really any names that you would
Speaker 1: expect to be on the waiver wire. The only one
Speaker 1: really that I would pick up and stream over him
Speaker 1: is Jacoby Brissette going up against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: They're huge underdogs, the liven Point underdogs as of now.
Speaker 1: And see why Hilton actually practiced today, So that would
Speaker 1: be a huge booths for Jacoby Brissette as well, because
Speaker 1: they well, go see if Jcoby percent go check it out. Greg,
Speaker 1: you see what you can find? E Why what can
Speaker 1: we expect tonight? When it comes to Todd Gurley And
Speaker 1: there's when fantasy owners have been frustrated and you're trying
Speaker 1: to understand the usage. Malcolm Brown's user has gone down,
Speaker 1: but girly doesn't look the same. I was talking to
Speaker 1: game Moorenci earlier today and gave was like, hey, the
Speaker 1: over under for a rushing yards were talked early to
Speaker 1: Night's fifty eight, Like this is what it's come to you?
Speaker 1: What do you expect that Gurly tonight against Seattle. From me,
Speaker 1: this has got feel, but my gut has been pretty
Speaker 1: good to me. I think that Todd Gurley shows up
Speaker 1: here and people being frustrated, like, I mean, you didn't
Speaker 1: take him in the first round, you took him in
Speaker 1: the second or third round. I mean, he's been pretty serviceable.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it has anything to do with him.
Speaker 1: And I've been saying that all year. The interior of
Speaker 1: this offensive line is not the same. They're getting pushed
Speaker 1: around if you watch football or at all or know
Speaker 1: anything about it, which I'm not claiming to do, but
Speaker 1: I do watch a lot of it. But if you watch,
Speaker 1: they're just being pushed around. Um, they ran a lot
Speaker 1: of zone runs and Bill Belichick wrote the game plan,
Speaker 1: said put five linemen on the ice and on the
Speaker 1: on the field and put him in zone. So there
Speaker 1: are no outside zone runs for Todd Gurley right now.
Speaker 1: But you saw last week they started throwing him the ball.
Speaker 1: This guy is a freak athlete, arthritic knee athlete, arthritic
Speaker 1: knee or not. Tonight will be a coming out party
Speaker 1: for Todd Gurley, and uh, we'll be talking about him
Speaker 1: a lot next week. That's what I believe, and actually
Speaker 1: with you on this one. I wasn't in on Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley coming into the year, but I think that he
Speaker 1: actually could have some success tonight. Basically for the way
Speaker 1: that he's been used recently. He's played at least seventy
Speaker 1: of the snaps each of the past two weeks and
Speaker 1: since Week two on Greg. I know, the Week one
Speaker 1: we all saw Malcolm Brown scored the two touchdowns inside
Speaker 1: the red zone and we all freaked out. Since Week two,
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley has eleven red zone opportunities while Malcolm Brown
Speaker 1: only has three, so they really have gone back to
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. It's not the greatest matchup in terms of
Speaker 1: yards per carry alloud Seattle allowing just three point nine
Speaker 1: five yards per carry. They've limited players like David Johnson,
Speaker 1: James Conner, and Alvin Kamara on the ground, but they
Speaker 1: have allowed a ton of receptions. They've allowed at least
Speaker 1: eight receptions to each of David Johnson and Camara each
Speaker 1: of the past two weeks. So I think Gurley could
Speaker 1: get involved in the past game again this week, coming
Speaker 1: off a game where he had eleven targets last week.
Speaker 1: We'll see if Gurley can get involved you. As you mentioned,
Speaker 1: Jarry God not the same at home as he is away.
Speaker 1: He's gonna need all the help he can get, especially
Speaker 1: o those near and intermediate passage, which where a guy
Speaker 1: like Cooper Cup comes in righte the Rams wide receivers
Speaker 1: this week. Frankie, Yeah, I would still rank Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: I think I have him inside my top six or seven.
Speaker 1: He's just been money this year, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: crazy because he's only eight or nine months removed from
Speaker 1: that a c L surgery, but has such a rapport
Speaker 1: with Jared Goff that you have to continue to trust
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Actually like Brandon Cooks a little bit more
Speaker 1: over Robert Woods tonight starting Jared Goff, just because just
Speaker 1: because of the matchup the corners that they're going to see,
Speaker 1: it's a better matchup for Brandon Cooks tonight overall Um
Speaker 1: and then going up against Trey Flowers that is the
Speaker 1: secondary of the Seattle Seahawks. I still like Robert Woods
Speaker 1: to have all three of these guys ranked inside of
Speaker 1: my top twenty. But that's how I would rank it.
Speaker 1: It would be Coop Cup, then it would be Cooks,
Speaker 1: and then it would be Woods for me um and
Speaker 1: you know, looking at the Seattle defense, they only allowed
Speaker 1: fifty five passing yards and like middle of the pack
Speaker 1: and fantasy points allowed to two quarterbacks so far this year, Greg,
Speaker 1: but they haven't really faced the toughest composition. It's been
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, It's been Teddy Bridgewater. Uh. You know, it
Speaker 1: was the game that Drew Brees left and Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: last week, and that often is struggling as well. So
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Seahawks defense is very good.
Speaker 1: I think that their numbers look better than they are
Speaker 1: because they haven't really faced tough competition. Al Right, fair,
Speaker 1: fair enough, and let me go to the other side.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Seattle and ey, even though we
Speaker 1: will dizzy guy all year long. You this touchdown street
Speaker 1: going right now. I know a lot of people are
Speaker 1: talking to touchdown regression. J J Zacharyastan mean one of
Speaker 1: them earlier on on the Vandel hurry up this week?
Speaker 1: Will dis Lee's run continue tonight? I believe there's a
Speaker 1: good possibility. Like look at tight End is a waste land.
Speaker 1: It's been a waste land for three years. And if
Speaker 1: you're the kind of person that can sit Will Disley,
Speaker 1: then then more power to you. But I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: sitting him. Um. He's obviously a big part of this offense.
Speaker 1: He's obviously it looks like he's the number one red
Speaker 1: zone guy um and and Russell Wilson trusts him. At
Speaker 1: the start of last year, he came out gangbusters when
Speaker 1: nobody including me, had any idea who he was. Uh,
Speaker 1: and showed up with then got that injury and disappeared
Speaker 1: and was you know, probably undrafted most leagues this year
Speaker 1: unless you played with me. I took him everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like Will dis Lee as well. Just look at
Speaker 1: his usage the past couple of weeks without Nick Vannette.
Speaker 1: This past week, snapp percentage went up to seventy nine percent.
Speaker 1: You've seen at least seven targets in each of the
Speaker 1: past two games. I mean you could probably count on
Speaker 1: three fingers how many tight ends you can expect to
Speaker 1: get seven plus targets on a given week, and Will
Speaker 1: Displee has got exactly that each of the past two weeks.
Speaker 1: He is third on the team with six red zone
Speaker 1: targets as well. Uh. And it also helps when Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson is talking you up. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw the lode from Russell Wilson earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: but he said you Will Dislee is gonna be really,
Speaker 1: really good for a long time. So he has the
Speaker 1: respect the trust of Russell Wilson and that's half the battle.
Speaker 1: So where is he ranked this week for you? Frank?
Speaker 1: I would have to pull up the tight end rankings,
Speaker 1: which I can do for you right now. I have
Speaker 1: him ranked as my tight end seven on the week. Beautiful,
Speaker 1: take that top ten tight end. Let's go. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: good news coming around for you here, Greggy. I do
Speaker 1: like will dis Lee, the Rams have been good against
Speaker 1: tight ends. I mean the thing is, ben see points
Speaker 1: against for tight ends is really based on who you
Speaker 1: go up against, right, Like, if you go up against
Speaker 1: teams that use the tight end, like, of course your
Speaker 1: numbers are gonna be skewed. If you face the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: let's say, I mean they don't use the tight ends.
Speaker 1: So using fantasy points against for tight ends, uh is
Speaker 1: is tough. It's really tough to use that data. So honestly,
Speaker 1: when I'm ranking tight ends, I just want to look
Speaker 1: at guys who are being used the most in their
Speaker 1: offenses being used in the red zone and Will dis
Speaker 1: Lee is one of those tight ends right now, Well,
Speaker 1: just Lee one of those tight ends you're interview, be
Speaker 1: the one, the one guy that's on there at that position.
Speaker 1: It's will digitally makes your life a lot easier at
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Tonight for Seattle, you have Tyler
Speaker 1: Locke in his familiar role. Are you using Dktcalf? I
Speaker 1: have them outside of my top thirty six tonight. I
Speaker 1: think that there is a there's a range of outcomes
Speaker 1: where tonight turns into a shootout and we just get
Speaker 1: a lot of points back and forth here. But ultimately
Speaker 1: I think that I think the Rams, coming off that
Speaker 1: tough loss against Tampa Bay, that they kind of want
Speaker 1: to slow this game down. They want to use a
Speaker 1: lot of girly and we know on the other side
Speaker 1: that that's what the Seattle Seahawks want to do with
Speaker 1: their core as well. I still do like Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: in this matchup. We just saw Chris god went into
Speaker 1: slot score three touchdowns last week against the Ram, so
Speaker 1: I like lock It, But personally playing on the outside
Speaker 1: for Metcalf, you know he's probably gonna see either keep
Speaker 1: to leave or Marcus Peters. I probably get away from
Speaker 1: him this week. EWE, let me go over to you
Speaker 1: when it goes to Chris Carson, where Chris Carson had
Speaker 1: those fumbling issues and he Carrol said, hey, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna let it to find him, and they played him unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Amount had a good game this past Sunday with shot.
Speaker 1: Penny is expected to be active tonight. I don't even
Speaker 1: believe he's on the injury report. What kind of split
Speaker 1: do you expect between these two if at all? I
Speaker 1: think this is Carson spot. I mean, he's going to
Speaker 1: run the ball. They're going to trust him. Penny will
Speaker 1: spell him when he's tired and and change the pace
Speaker 1: things like that. But Carson is definitely the guy there.
Speaker 1: Carol loves him. Uh, the players love him. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you watch this guy run like he is just
Speaker 1: not afraid, he's not afraid of contact. He invites it.
Speaker 1: And I can tell you, like if I was a
Speaker 1: football player standing on the sidelines and I'm seeing this
Speaker 1: guy smash into everything that moves and and fight for
Speaker 1: every yard. That's that's Uh, that's a good teammate to
Speaker 1: have on your team. So look, at all. All running
Speaker 1: backs have the ability to fumble. Um, they've all fumbled before.
Speaker 1: He had a couple of bad ones and they were
Speaker 1: all in a row, so it was very glaring. But
Speaker 1: he didn't fumble last week. Uh, and he looked great.
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, Carson Carson's the man there and uh,
Speaker 1: to me, he's probably a top ten running back this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have him as my RB seven on the week.
Speaker 1: So I'm right there in lockstep with E. Why you
Speaker 1: look at Chris Carson's usage. He's had at least fifteen
Speaker 1: carries in every game He's He's averaging almost four targets
Speaker 1: per game as well. And its Los Angeles Rams defense
Speaker 1: just allowed two rushing touchdowns last week to both Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones and Peyton Barber. They have allowed five rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: to running backs in four games so far this season,
Speaker 1: allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing running backs.
Speaker 1: So I think Chris Carson is in a really, really
Speaker 1: good spot tonight, Greig, all right, you were for tonight, Frank,
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Seahawks. I am going to
Speaker 1: say that the Rams winness game. I will also take
Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't think you're far off. I'll go
Speaker 1: with seventeen the Rams over the Seahawks. Eric, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go Rams over the Seahawks in this one. I don't.
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Rams are gonna show up.
Speaker 1: That that's what I believe. I think Jared Goff is
Speaker 1: going to get right. I think the They're gonna spread
Speaker 1: the ball around and make it hard to know where
Speaker 1: it's going. Cooper Cup has another good game, and Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley uh is the m v P of of the
Speaker 1: game tonight. Right, Todd Gurley, he break out game for Eric.
Speaker 1: He says, uh that you believe also that the Rams
Speaker 1: is gonna rely on Gurley really try to play ball
Speaker 1: control to night in Seattle. I saw his player prop
Speaker 1: is only fifty eight rushing yards too. It seems really
Speaker 1: low for me when it comes to Todd Gurley. I
Speaker 1: like some of his receiving props as well. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen the number on Chris Carson, but I do you
Speaker 1: know if I like Chris Carson as a top ten
Speaker 1: running back tonight you can place wagers on either his
Speaker 1: over on his rushing yardage prop or for him it's
Speaker 1: or a touchdown. And I think either one of those
Speaker 1: will come to fruition. All right, So there you have it.
Speaker 1: The predictions for Sarson minus one tend to score touchdown tonight,
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley plus one oh five. All right, there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, we are done for tonight. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a fun night as e Y watches NHL. Frank and
Speaker 1: I watched baseball. Hopefully we watch the NFL as well.
Speaker 1: It's a fun day of sports this evening. Tomorrow we
Speaker 1: do all of our best best for the Weekendi we'll
Speaker 1: go around the league and all the fantasy goodness that
Speaker 1: you need to know. He's Erk Young, He's Frank Stanfell,
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Sosman. We'll do it all again tomorrow. We
Speaker 1: hope Daily Rhodo dot com learned from the game's best

Speaker 1: So what did I happen? What did Here's what you
Speaker 1: missed on the BFPS and interesting conundrum about tonight. We'll
Speaker 1: get into the game later on, like I said, but
Speaker 1: so have Jared Goff is my quarterback, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, do I play him tonight? And it's not
Speaker 1: a great matchup. It's on the road. He's much worse
Speaker 1: on the road than he isn't home defense isn't what
Speaker 1: it once was. Though I also have like Jimmy g
Speaker 1: Agle with Jimmy g Cleveland Monday Night, nice Monday night
Speaker 1: at a quarterback I can wait on like this is great.
Speaker 1: And I did something that kind of angle would really
Speaker 1: I killed me for Frank, you looked at your opponent's team.
Speaker 1: I looked at my opponent's team and I saw that
Speaker 1: his top wide receiver it's Brandon Cooks. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to make sure whatever Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks cans points, I'm getting points. Now. I'm starring Jared
Speaker 1: Goff to night. Personally, I have Jared Goff ranked higher
Speaker 1: than Jimmy Garoppolo from the get go, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: just start him based on my opponent having Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 1: But I will start hitting based on what the numbers
Speaker 1: are telling me. And um, I'm gonna go with jerikof
Speaker 1: over Jimmy Garoppolo. Fantastic. So you made the right decision,
Speaker 1: but for the wrong reasons. Greig, it doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: I get there, process doesn't matter. There is a results
Speaker 1: over process, guy, Absolutely freaking are we probably more people
Speaker 1: should be all the results over process? We we We
Speaker 1: probably should be. Who cares how we get there? As
Speaker 1: long as we win? Hey, you know what, last week
Speaker 1: I said, Miles Sanders was a great play. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: One of the Eagles running backs were a great play.
Speaker 1: Process over results. Do you feel right about that? I
Speaker 1: do feel good that one of the Eagles running backs
Speaker 1: went off. Obviously I wish that it was Miles Sanders.
Speaker 1: I don't own Sanders anywhere, but I think that the
Speaker 1: logic in you know, using the Eagles running backs against
Speaker 1: the Packers last Thursday night was good logic. Just so
Speaker 1: happens that, uh, Doug Peterson is the coach of the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. So uh, it's kind of like a you know,
Speaker 1: half and half. You know you got it right technically,
Speaker 1: but you didn't just weird. Let me start off today
Speaker 1: show with a not injury related news, but we saw
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday. I think, e y, it's we're
Speaker 1: getting back into today. And that's the fun Diggs, right,
Speaker 1: because the fun Diggs. Someone's bruin in Minnesota. We saw
Speaker 1: a sweets cool of days ago. Frank we were shorts.
Speaker 1: That 'm feeling asking for a trade, just the fond
Speaker 1: Diggs asking for a trade. Every answer that this guy
Speaker 1: gives this question, like, hey, why do you miss practice yesterday?
Speaker 1: I had a cold. You're a professional athlete. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine a cold. It's not even going to work. No, No,
Speaker 1: definitely not. Uh. I mean it's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: poor excuse. There's obviously where there's smoke, there's fire, and
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit. You gotta understand the frustration there.
Speaker 1: This isn't an All Star wide receiver playing with Adam
Speaker 1: Feeling another all Star wide receiver, and they're just not
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. And when they are, Kirk Cousins has
Speaker 1: been rancid this year. He has not been good um
Speaker 1: with it. Their ability to run the ball. You thought
Speaker 1: that it would just make throwing the ball easier, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to be the thing. Minnesota is really
Speaker 1: struggling to throw the ball. Getting their wide receivers going
Speaker 1: at all, and and being Steffion Diggs, and and not
Speaker 1: being targeted, and only being thrown to a few times
Speaker 1: a game has got to be frustrating.
