1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Monday, November twenty fourth, twenty twenty five.

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where our Thanksgiving

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: menu is on a point. It's me and your man,

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. Florio and Lakwan Jones.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: I rarely have a way I plan to open the show.

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Most times it's just based on vibes or feel or something.

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes a show open just falls into my lap.

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: Because today, when I logged onto stream Yard Floria, you

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: and LaQuan are having a conversation about wide receivers.

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: I walked in.

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: I logged on, and I assumed you were talking about

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith Injigba and that if there was ever a

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver who could win the MVP.

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 3: I said six letters, I said JSN MVP, and then

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 3: I sat back.

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: And then Lakwan, you had feelings.

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: I have thoughts. I have thoughts and feelings, but I

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 4: would say this right. I crashed out a little peak

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 4: behind the curtain. I crashed out before we started, and

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 4: I thought that was going to be the call to open,

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: which should have been. I had a lot of points,

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: a lot of feelings, but I'm going to say this

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: though Jackson Smith the Jigoba can be the offensive player

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: of the year, keep his name out of the MVP

25
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: conversation because that is just straight pure ignorance. When we're

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 4: looking what Matthew Stafford is doing right now.

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: Is he about to have the best season ever by

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: someone playing his position?

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I am gonna let everybody in on kind of what

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: has been happening on this show behind the scenes for

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the last I.

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Don't know month? Is that about, right, Floord? The last

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: month or so.

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: Give or take. Laqwan with the Rams.

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Is I mean, stan is probably not even a strong

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: enough word for how you feel about the Rams right

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: in that if anyone says something so like, I think

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I compared you to like a member of the Beehive,

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: right or swifty or something where like if somebody you

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: don't have to if you don't even have to insult

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, they just don't have to properly praise them

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: for your liking, and you are ready to strike. And

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: so now for for the listeners out there, it has

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: become a game for a lot of.

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: Us, and it's very easy. It's very easy.

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it is easy mode Madden to get La

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: Kwan to get fired up to the point of nearly

48
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: crashing out, Like we will text him things about like

49

Speaker 2: What did I say yesterday?

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Oh, something about Stafford's MVP case is dinged because cam

52
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: Ward had more passing yards against the Seahawks than staff

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Did I know that's not the case?

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: Like I know that, but it immediately.

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Got a response rightday And so it's so florial saying

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,280

00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 3: On Friday, we all went out right after after the

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: show Friday, and uh, I just pointed out that Matthew

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: Stafford has the best play caller and one two punch

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: at receiver and he plays indoors and everything is perfect.

63
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: He's great, and the quantimals crushed out for a good bit.

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: Try to get me kicked out of the restaurant, because

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: how is that a ding Like? How we sitting here saying, oh, whoa,

Speaker 4: he has the most touchdowns within one yards? Who cares?

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: How did they get there? How did they even get

68
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: in striking?

00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Again? See how see how easy that was?

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: You see how I mean, you cannot be saying that

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: if he completed thirteen passes in a row last night,

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: I would be willing to give him the MVP, but

73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: he did chat. So Chad, do you see what's happening

Speaker 2: No.

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: I I purposely put my phone in the other room,

90
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: like I know what this game is going to turn

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: it into. I know what they're going to in the

92
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: group chat. I'm charging my phone in the other room

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: because I just knew you guys are going to try

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: to stir the pot well, the only one because Baker

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: got hurt. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I'm letting that bus

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: go by. Growth.

97
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: That is the growth, right, that is so better?

98
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: Is what I hear.

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: This is this is what we're trying to inspire you.

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: It's growth, that's all.

101
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: It's okay, let's crashes a fighter trolling.

102
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: You're fighting strangers on the internet for a group of

103
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: fifty you know, fifty three guys from list.

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: Most of them don't know you exist.

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: Like, it's okay, it's okay.

106
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: I will say this. I will fight these battles.

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: If Rams go to Seattle and lose and Jsen finishes

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: with two thousand, I'm going.

109
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: To be championing him for MVP Offensive Player of the Year.

110
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: That's fine, that's okay. We all know that he's not

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: gonna win it, though, Like let's be serious, let's be honest, right,

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: A wide receiver is not gonna win MVP.

113
00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: He's not.

114
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: But if he does what, that's great. But when we

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: go back ten, fifteen, twenty five years later and look

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 4: back in the record, but it's going to say Matthew

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: Stafford twenty twenty five, I mean, honestly, there's no good

118
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: to nobody remember like, nobody's going to remember oh jsn oh, yeah,

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: you receive.

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: Dallas for the first time ever. Everyone will be more

121
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: memorable than Matthew Stafford.

122
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: You'd like to remember that. Yeah, people remember for.

123
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: Sure who won the MVP of the year, Calvin put

124
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: Up nineteen forty seven or whatever it was. I don't know,

125
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: but we all remember Calvin. I don't know, but who

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: is the ball?

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: That's his point. Anyway, We've got a lot of stuff

128
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: to talk about. We're in close to the fantasy playoffs.

129
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Can talk about some guys you can stash on your

130
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: fantasy roster to maybe get you ready for the second season.

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll have a drop zone, we'll have waiver wire.

132
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: But first, let's going with some news, because a whole

133
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: lot of news has happened in the last twenty four

134
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: hours or so. Starting with kind of the last bit

135
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: of news. First, Raiders in the middle of a pretty

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: missus season. I don't ask me why I stayed up

137
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: late and rewatched that game against the Browns. Maybe because

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't like myself, I'm not sure, but either way,

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders of Fire chip Kelly as their offensive coordinator.

140
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: I just saw in fact, moments ago that Greg Olsen,

141
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach, not the former tight end member of

142
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: the seventh Floor Crew, not that guy. Greg Olsen is

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: going to take over as the interim offensive coordinator of Florida.

144
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: When you look at this, does this have an immediate

145
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: impact or do you anticipate, I should say, an immediate

146
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: impact on Ashton gent brock Bauer's Tyler Lockett, et cetera,

147
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera.

148
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: The funny thing is we've seen Greg Olsen in this role,

149
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: Like he's already been the OC for four, five, six

150
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: different years seasons for the Raiders and this is now

151
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: his third tenure in this role. Like all roles apparently lead.

152
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: Back to Greg.

153
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: The other candidates were two coaches with the last name Carol,

154
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: so you could figure out how they got that job.

155
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not expecting a whole lot to change, right, Like,

156
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: like Olsen was already part of the person putting the

157
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: game plans, Like, yeah, Chip Kelly, maybe maybe it'll change

158
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: a little bit and stuff like that. But if you're

159
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: Greg Olsen coming in here, you've already been the quarterbacks

160
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: coach this season, and look, it doesn't take a rocket

161
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: scientist to look at the Raiders roster and be like,

162
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: there's two players whereth's feeding as much as we possibly can.

163
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of operating until we see otherwise that

164
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: Genty and brock Bauers are the only Raiders where it's starting.

165
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: Maybe Trey Tucker if you're in like a pinch in

166
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: a deeper league or something like that. But the one

167
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: thing I will say about the Raiders, and I hope

168
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't change, they've been throwing the ball a lot

169
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: more Dash Genty lately. I think you get eight targets

170
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: this week. Like, as long as you keep doing that,

171
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: and you keep brock Bowers also had like double digit targets,

172
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: you keep doing that, fantasy managers are going to be okay.

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, part of why they throw it so much

174
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: to Ash to Genc is because they can't run it

175
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: with him.

176
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the offensive.

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Line it it looks like a Black Friday sale. I

178
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: mean just just the big box electronics store on Black Friday,

179
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Like the doors open and the defensive lot just comes

180
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: flooding in. I mean, I know some of it yesterday

181
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: is because it was the Browns and Miles Garrett or whatever,

182
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: but it's bad. I'm LaQuan is it is it crazy

183
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: to think.

184
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: They're going to make a quarterback change too? Like?

185
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: Are they can they keep this.

186
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Going with Gino Smith because there are a lot of

187
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: things wrong, but Gino's.

188
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: Not helping the problem.

189
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: No, And like Gino said last week, like if there's

190
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: a problem with the offensive it looks weird, blame it

191
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: on me. I mean we've been blaming it on Gino

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: since week one, to be honestly, that's nothing new. And honestly,

193
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: if Pete Carroll wants to keep the dressing room, like

194
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: the culture of the of the team to be anywhere

195
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: near remotely positive, they need to make a QB change.

196
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: They need to change something up because like firing all

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: these guys, you're just taking you know, staff out of

198
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 4: the building, but you're not bringing anything in or switching

199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: or making any adjustments to say, hey, we can go

200
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: out here and win this game. There's no hope right

201
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 4: now in Vegas right now, Like I think a QB change,

202
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: at least you'll see something different from your offense. You'll

203
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: see something different from Trey Tucker. Maybe there's some type

204
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: of connection there with other you know, pass catchers, like

205
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: a Jack besh or a Deontay Thorton that we have

206
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: not seen in weeks. Like I do think, like, you know,

207
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: if you sit in this black hole, it's going to

208
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: be just bad results week in and week out for

209
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: the rest of the season.

210
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: They did activate Aidan O'Connell, so he's you know, he's

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: activated off of injury reserve. He's available. Can he Pickett

212
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: is still there? You know, stop me if one of

213
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: these guys really inspires you.

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: No, it's you know again watching it. The offensive line

215
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: is terrible.

216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Gino's holding the ball too long when he does have time,

217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,359
Speaker 1: He's missing throws. It was it was a mess yesterday

218
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: watching them, and yeah, short.

219
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: Throws to Ashton gents. He was one of the few

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: things that worked.

221
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna see a teardown, right Like it feels that way.

222
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it starts with them strongly suggesting to

223
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll that maybe he go back to retirement. You know,

224
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: they've they've fired they've fired their but their offensive coordinator.

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Think they fired their defensive coordinator earlier in the year. Yeah,

226
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: this thing is gonna have to just be torn down

227
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: and rebuilt from the bottom up because rematch. Yeah, I

228
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: mean that might have to be part of it. I mean,

229
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: at some point he's he's not you know, he's not

230
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: the key to to really turn around what you're doing there.

231
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much longer he's gonna want

232
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: to be there in this situation.

233
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: It's it's all bad.

234
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: He just signed a deal, didn't he. Yeah.

235
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you him and Miles Garrett man like,

236
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: they chose to ride out their careers with bad teams.

237
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: They chose money, money over wins. Baby. Yeah.

238
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think at some point, if

239
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: you're the Raiders, I don't know, there's there's value there.

240
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: Why not try to get some draft picks or something

241
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: back or something for him?

242
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't know.

243
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Last night at Sofi Stadium, the Rams completely dominated the Buccaneers.

244
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: That praise is that sufficient enough praise for you? I

245
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: just need, I just need. I need your mentals to

246
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: stay straight for the remainder of the show.

247
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: So why is the next thing? Marcus is gonna?

248
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield along the way suffered a shoulder injury. I

249
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: expected to have an MRI sometime on Monday. The fear

250
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: is a sprained ac joint. We saw Teddy two Gloves

251
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: step in there, Teddy Bridgewater and finish things out for

252
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers.

253
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Solque. I mean, if it is.

254
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, which very well could be likely, does that

255
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: mean it's curtains for a Mecca Buca, Chris Godwin, those guys,

256
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: Tess Johnson at this point.

257
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: For a bit, Like I'm very hesitant in like looking

258
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: at like Chris Godwin, you know, coming back from injury,

259
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 4: we didn't see much from him in this game. I think,

260
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: you know, a mecha Buka. He remains a start for

261
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: a lot of folks if you don't have any other options.

262
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 4: I like Teddy two Gloves, like, regardless of the you know,

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: the fuzzy history between him and the Rams and stuff

264
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: like that. If you know, you know, I think that

265
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: you know Teddy. He just hasn't really played as a

266
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 4: starter in so long that we're gonna be able to

267
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: get like a revive of a Joe Flack or Davis Mills,

268
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: Like this is not that situation whatsoever, Folks Like, I

269
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 4: think Teddy two Glove is going to go in there

270
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 4: and do his absolute best. I think the next couple

271
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 4: games coming up, I know the Cardinals defense, they've made

272
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 4: some adjustments, they looked a lot better. I might want

273
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 4: to get away from Chris Godwin. I'm not sure Bucky

274
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: Irvin coming back even helps this offense if they're not

275
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: going to be able to throw the ball. I mean, honestly,

276
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 4: looking at Teddy two Gloves for the next couple of

277
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: weeks with his aces brain or whatever it is for Baker,

278
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: you kind of have to just pivot to other options here.

279
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: I don't have high expectations for those guys. Whatsoever?

280
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: Is this a veiled LaMarcus Joyner reference? At what that was?

281
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: Geez? Come on, bro, you know you know?

282
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, look, there are people out there

283
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: who don't know who are probably like what.

284
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.

285
00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: Go look it up.

286
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, you just throw shadow references. I mean, you

287
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: get people information.

288
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: I wasn't too happy with that hit man because, like again,

289
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: like you don't want to see your guys get smashed

290
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: like that, especially like Teddy Too Glove, like he's one

291
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 4: of the good ones out there.

292
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah.

293
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: Uh So, anyway, the Bucks offense has really been struggling.

294
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, last night they were they were bad. Uh,

295
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams shut him down. But also they've

296
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: kind of been on the struggle bus for a few

297
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: weeks now too, So uh, this is not gonna help

298
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: things to Higgins. Flora left the game with a concussion

299
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday, no surprise, He's already been ruled out with

300
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: it being a short week. Uh, you know, it seemed

301
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: pretty likely that he was not going to play. I

302
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: guess the good news is Jamar Chase should be back,

303
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, providing he does not expect to rate on

304
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: anyone else between.

305
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: Now and Thursday evening.

306
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow expected to play as well, Burrow back, Chase back,

307
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: but no, T Higgins. Can we maybe throw Andre Yoshivas

308
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: into some lineups somewhere if you're.

309
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: In need, But there's no buys this week, so you

310
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: likely have a better option because look, I'm playing Joe Burrow.

311
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: If he plays, I'm playing. Obviously you're playing Jamar Chase.

312
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: But even this past I know it wasn't Burrow, but

313
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: like Yosi Vas was, he was solid, you know, like

314
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: I think in a half people and he gave you

315
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: something around ten points. You know who I think is

316
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: even in my opinion I like even more this week,

317
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: Mitchell Tinsley. I think he can come in and be

318
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: the t Higgins the outside, the X guy man. He

319
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: went up and caught went over Christian Gonzales and then

320
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: stared him down And I was like, that is alpha

321
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: water receiver one type behavior. Yeah, let's not forget Tinsley

322
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: balled out in preseason and that's how he made the roster.

323
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: To begin with.

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: So when Browning, yes, like I think Tinsley is uh,

325
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: the floor is probably a little bit safer for h Andre,

326
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: but I think Tinsley is the But again, these are

327
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: both if you're going deeper because there's no buys this week,

328
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: which is huge, so you should have your full allotment

329
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: of receivers available.

330
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

331
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Side notes to that there are no buys this week,

332
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: there are buys next week when people are really fighting to.

333
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: Make the playoffs.

334
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, maybe we should have had some four team

335
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: by weeks instead of a couple of two team.

336
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: By weeks, and maybe we could have solved this problem.

337
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 4: You know what do I know? I just talk about

338
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: fake football for a living.

339
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Lakau and Alvin Kamara leaves the game yesterday with a

340
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: knee injury. He was out in the second half. This week,

341
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the Saints have the Miami Dolphins, who, for all their improvement.

342
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: Still stink against the run again, no buys.

343
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: So let's let's let's say this is like a DFS thing,

344
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: or you play in some insane twenty team league or

345
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: something like that. Would you trust Devin Neil in at

346
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: least what's on paper a good situation.

347
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, if the situation looks good. I mean, Miami, we

348
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: know they stink against the run. But I think Devin

349
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: Neal running thirty two routes likely yesterday looks amazing for

350
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: a guy in PPR formats because Tyler Schuck is gonna

351
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 4: check that ball down like he still has that identity

352
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: or role of album Kamara. So if he's gonna be

353
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 4: running that many routes and have that opportunity to catch

354
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: a couple of passes, why not. I honestly think as

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 4: a runner, though I'm a little hesitant, he has like

356
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: a lot of hesitation in his pace in terms of

357
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 4: hitting the line, not great yards before contact. I do

358
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: think that, you know, as he gets more reps as

359
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: the guy, maybe as the weeks to progress on and

360
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: on that we'll start seeing some life from him in

361
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: between the tackles, outside zones, scheme whatever they want to

362
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: run it. But I think Devin Neil and those deeper,

363
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 4: deep cut leads. I'm talking like down bad, like bro,

364
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: I ain't got nobody else out there. I understand if

365
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: you're picking him up and trying to just get something

366
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: going and put him in there against the Miami Dolphins.

367
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 5: It's tayso Sometime baby yesterday that I will never praise

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 5: that man. Get him off of the team. No, why

369
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 5: is it?

370
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: How is it that this is endured? This is the

371
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: third different coach, This is the third coach now, I'm

372
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: don't even do the you know, the inglorious bastards.

373
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: Three three coaches, right?

374
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: It went from Sean Payton to Dennis Allen and now

375
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: Keillan Moore has been like what sort of sway, what

376
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: sort of Jedi mind powers does Tasom Hill have over

377
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: this organization that at thirty five years old, coming off

378
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: ACL surgery, he played like twenty four to twenty five snaps,

379
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: had ten rushing attempts, led the team in rushing attempts

380
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: yesterday through through two passes. Why why is this still happening?

381
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't understand.

382
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: I think at this point they probably view him as

383
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: their best power runner and they were using him a

384
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: lot near the goal line. So the reason I'm in

385
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: on Taysom Hill is we talk about it a lot.

386
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: The bar for success at tight end is so much

387
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 4: lower than other position.

388
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: If he gets a rushing touchdown against Miami, he will

389
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: be probably a top twelve tight end next week. So

390
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: if that look, I no buys. I don't want to

391
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 3: throw Devin Neil in one of my two RB spots.

392
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: But if I'm streaming tight ends, which I have to

393
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: in a lot of leagues because I have injuries, I

394
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: might take a chance on Taysom.

395
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: The wild part.

396
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: Of this is and I'm still I'm filibustering, so I'm

397
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: trying to figure something out. So I think according to

398
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: the Saints roster, isn't he a quarterback? Yeah, which means,

399
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: at least according to the conventions of NFL dot Com

400
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues, he should be a quarterback. He should not

401
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: be tight end eligible. And I don't want like, I

402
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: think we're past the point where people are gonna, like,

403
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, text us or d MS or whatever and

404
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: like want these switcheses.

405
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 4: Nobody wants. Nobody really wants the fantass anymore.

406
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 3: I'm I'm here to tell you he's still listened as

407
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: a tight end on the honor.

408
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 4: Rat That's terrible.

409
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: That's terrible.

410
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: We need to we need to callies. We got to

411
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: call the authorities on this one. Like I'm not I'm

412
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: usually not about I'm not about dry snitching or anything

413
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: like that. But in this situation, I feel like we

414
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: can make an exception.

415
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: We can't. This nonsense cannot stand.

416
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: I don't think he should be a quarterback, like he

417
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 3: played more as a running back, right, Like he threw

418
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 3: two passes, but he also ran five round like he is.

419
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: A flex That's what he should be.

420
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: We need to just save people from themselves, right, don't

421
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: even get people the option. Don't even tempt people with that, right,

422
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: Like don't you know it's like putting the ball in

423
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: front of a diabetic, Like, don't do this.

424
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 4: Don't people like that? Would you just oh my god.

425
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: Look what you just I'm not saying to start him

426
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: like no questions asked. But again, like I have a

427
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: league where I lost Sam Laporta and the waiver wire

428
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: is thin and I'm streaming week to week, I might

429
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: just throw a dart on Tasum in that situation.

430
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: Olia, I love you and I want better for you.

431
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 4: I didn't really work out, but I would. I don't know.

432
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: I just feel like I would take my chance to

433
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: the A. J. Barner over tays him.

434
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: I would hate when you have the m v P, Jsen.

435
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he's not going to get any targets.

436
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's true, That's that's a fair point though. Actually, yeah,

437
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: because when the m v P has taken all the oxygen,

438
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: God's ears, I know, right, I mean, law, I'm glad

439
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: you admitted it, so it's cool.

440
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: We need to clip that. Don't don't say.

441
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: This is the most we've had in a while.

442
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's been a news before we take a break

443
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: and catch our breath and get our faculties back.

444
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: Uh lakwan. Aaron Rodgers expects to play.

445
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: I know he was telling everybody he expected to play

446
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: this week, even if we didn't really believe it, but

447
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: both he and the team expected he's.

448
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: Going to play next week against the Buffalo Bills.

449
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I know DK Metcalf left the game banged up, but

450
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: I think they are expecting that he should be okay

451
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: and good to go. Doesn't even matter anymore, I mean,

452
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter the Steelers.

453
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 4: No, like I think, like you can honestly entertain gain

454
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 4: will warn DK Metcalf based on the matchup, But with

455
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 4: him banged up, who knows but Aaron Rodgers himself. No,

456
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: I don't see this making a difference. I mean, who

457
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 4: did they got this with the Bills? I mean florio,

458
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you expect out of Aaron Rodgers?

459
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: You ain't fearful, You ain't like, oh well, we might

460
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: take a l to the elite quarterback MVP super Bowl

461
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: winning Aaron Rodgers. No, I mean like he's not moving

462
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 4: the leader for anybody, like even for fantasy. Like at

463
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 4: one point he showed a stability to be a low

464
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 4: wing QB one, But now what we've seen these last

465
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: couple of weeks with him banged up and with the wrists,

466
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 4: it's like it's a dumb We got like four weeks

467
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: left for some fantasy rosters that go into the playoffs,

468
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: Like you've run into the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers. I

469
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: don't know. I'm not I don't have any rosters with him,

470
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 4: to be honest, but rosters with him, they probably not

471
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 4: even sniffing the playoffs with him if he's your QB one.

472
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: I think it's The argument is Rudolph might be better

473
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: for your pass catchers than Aaron at least for DK metcalf.

474
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: I could say that too. I think Mason Rudolph, like,

475
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 4: going into this week, I was hesitation because honestly, I

476
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 4: was like, we know who's on the sticks. It's Arthur Smith.

477
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: So it's like the offense and system is going to

478
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 4: be based on him, like you know, like it's going

479
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: to be a low pass volume, heavy run kind of

480
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 4: what we saw. Honestly, But I do think Mason Rudolph

481
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 4: to give us a little bit more because Anon Rodgers

482
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 4: ain't moving in that pocket, like he ain't doing what

483
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: he used to do anymore. Like give us Mason Rudolf

484
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 4: fighting for a job next year?

485
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: Who cares?

486
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I.

487
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: Guess I think again, I think the idea of Mason

488
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Rudolph this like idea that he's going to push the

489
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: ball downfield. I don't think it matches up with reality.

490
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 4: Like yesterday he.

491
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: Had less than six air yards per attempt. This offense

492
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: is boring aside from aside from like Darnell Washington occasionally

493
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: steamrolling a defensive back like there's just nothing here that

494
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: I care about at all.

495
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: I think it goes back to what Cam was saying

496
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: the other day that like there's just with Rogers, even

497
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: though the talent might not be much better, Like there's

498
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 3: that mental thing that like it's easier for the Steelers

499
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: players to get amped up and to feel like they

500
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: could compete and stuff.

501
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 4: That's probably it. He could pain pretty picture in and

502
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 4: the paint is do doo. That's what That's what the

503
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 4: campus is getting right now. Like, come on, bro, this

504
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 4: often sucks.

505
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Sharley.

506
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Browns I just saw then that to Shuder Sanders is

507
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: gonna be their starting quarterback. Four week thirteen, they are

508
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: at home against the forty nine Ers. We can talk

509
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: about Shudur a little bit later. I don't wantally want

510
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: to get like, I don't know.

511
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: He was fine.

512
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: He wasn't. It's okay, all right, man, Kevins the fancy

513
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 4: is not a fan.

514
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: But it was fine. I mean it's fine. Like he

515
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: had the one deep shot to Isaiah Bond that was

516
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: a nice throw. Everything else was like within five yards

517
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage, and you know, the Raiders

518
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: decided to not tackle Dylan Sampson and he went for

519
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: a long touchdown run.

520
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: Was fine.

521
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: It was fine.

522
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Like I guess if you don't like him, then you know,

523
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: you take that, you pick it apart. If you like him,

524
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: you take that and use its your advantage. I think

525
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm sort of neutral on Shuduur and so it was

526
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: just what it was.

527
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: I just think he's got more upside than get And

528
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: I thought this since February of last year when I

529
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: started watching them. You know, like I've never was a

530
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel believer.

531
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: Just just look at the fans reacting to anything he

532
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 4: did yesterday, right like you got the kids in the

533
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: stands and the Browns jersey throwing the ris like it's

534
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 4: time bro. Like like I'm like, I have nothing against

535
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 4: Dylan Gabriel, but I was like, when are we going

536
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: to pull the plug on this? Like we've seen that

537
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: for so many weeks where it was just like what

538
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 4: are you seeing that you think is going to be

539
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 4: the future of this franchise? Like obviously Shredor can distract

540
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: all the bad plays just with his aura. You have

541
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 4: kids in going like this with the watch. I'm telling

542
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 4: you they were so excited to see him get that

543
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: shine and make those plays what plays he did make,

544
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: But looking at what the audience was watching, Like you

545
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 4: have to entertain at the end of the day, nobody's

546
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 4: paying a ticket to watch Dylan Gabriel.

547
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: There's nothing entertaining about watching. But there was nothing entertaining

548
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: about watching that, Like it was a bunch of it.

549
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 4: Was it was.

550
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: It was the same thing Mason Rudolph was doing, but

551
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: it just didn't have a gimmicky celebration, like.

552
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 4: What was exactly about it? And you talk about the fans,

553
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: you talk about the fans, I.

554
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: Mean, like that's like when you talk about like the

555
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: kids getting excited. All I thought was Johnny Manziel. I

556
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: just thought about the Johnny Manziel money.

557
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: Rather Manziel than something.

558
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: No, yeah, actually actually actually I would I would rather.

559
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: Have Johnny Manziel.

560
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: Everything you said about like it was one long pass, Well,

561
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: Gabriel is everything, but without that long pass, you know

562
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 3: what I mean, And he can't move he doesn't have

563
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: the arm to throw down.

564
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: Field like but still the other thing is like this was.

565
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: And Sanders was very vocal on this, which I actually,

566
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 3: I know the Browns hated, but I liked for him,

567
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: Like this was his first week of reps with the

568
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: Ones all year and he put up numbers that Gabriel

569
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: hasn't been able to put up. Like again, it's the

570
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: Browns were not getting excited for fantasy or anything like that.

571
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: But from a viewer, I'm much more interested the Browns

572
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: now than I was a week ago.

573
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: So I'll leave you with this because this is going

574
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: to be the last time we talked about Sans this week.

575
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: I try to make that a point.

576
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: No, he's a sneaky start this week against those whiners.

577
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 4: Let's go.

578
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: The last thing I'm going to say about this is

579
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: my wife is a shuld dour Sanders supporter. She has

580
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: been for the last couple of years, and so she says, hey,

581
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: can you can you put on the Browns game?

582
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure, whatever, I turn it on.

583
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

584
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: Several minutes later she says, oh, both of these teams

585
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: are bad. Huh yeah, yes, yes.

586
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 4: Very much so they are.

587
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: But this is a much longer opening block than I

588
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: extended it to be, where it's take a breaker to

589
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: come back. We get some fantasy playoffs stashes also got

590
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: some waiver wire stuff coming up a little bit later.

591
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: Stick around for more of this very unhinged edition of

592
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So we are a couple

593
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: of weeks away from the start of the Fantasy playoffs

594
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: in most leagues, so at this point, you know the

595
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: trade deadlines have passed. Of course, you can still go

596
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: out and make waiver wire claims to this point. So

597
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: maybe some guys that are out there on the waiver

598
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: wire that you may want to hold on to. This

599
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're automatically starting them, but in case you

600
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: have some of the matchups, or you have matchups that

601
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: you don't like, maybe these are some other options for you.

602
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: So quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end QB. I was

603
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: le I'm very surprised to see this name that you

604
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: dropped in here for the quarterback position. I open the

605
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: floor to you. It's William Trevor Lawrence. Okay, William, because

606
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: he's no longer Trevor mid Lawrence. He's no longer Trevor.

607
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: We are not giving him cool names. He probably thought

608
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: back in the day Trevor was cool for him. No,

609
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: we're not giving you cool points. But I will say this,

610
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: he's a stash for the Fantasy playoffs. He is a

611
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: QB two with high end QB two upside being that

612
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: he's using his legs my boy has eight touchdowns in

613
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: the last four games. The fact that he is being selfish.

614
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: I say selfish because he doesn't benefit any of the

615
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: other pass catchers unless Breton Strange. But I do think

616
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: that Trevor mid Lawrence or I'm sorry, William Lawrence has

617
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: upside to be a stability of going into the Fantasy playoffs,

618
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: like him using his legs is giving him the rushing

619
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: upside that we love for MICHAELA.

620
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 4: Williams about Nicks, etcetera, etcetera. He's not Josh Allen Juck

621
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: justin fields, etcetera, etcetera. But he's right there on the

622
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: cuff of where like, hey, I can get rushing upside

623
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: out of him, where he can get sixteen to eighteen

624
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: Fantasy points, which is fine. You don't want to be

625
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: sitting here with the likes of Aaron Rodgers or even

626
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: a Oh my god, I don't know how many people

627
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: are still rostering Joe Flapple. But the magic is gone.

628
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow is going back, you know what I mean?

629
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 4: And Marcus, you can let that go. Yeah. I was like, damn, Joe,

630
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: this is what we're doing. That's how we play now,

631
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: all right. But when you're looking at the Marcus Mariotas

632
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: of the world and all those quarterbacks that are bottom

633
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: tier that I feel, unfortunately to say comfortable picking up Trevor.

634
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: I mean, god, I keep doing it William for the

635
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 4: rest of the season as a TV two to stash.

636
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: William Lawrence sounds like a financial advisor.

637
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, he probably got picked on it. They probably call it.

638
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Will Lawrence seems like a cool dude, though, you know,

639
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: if he's want to be Will Lawrence that you.

640
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: Know, probably a good person man, but football is not

641
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 4: his gig.

642
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Will Lawrence I'd hang out with for sure. FLORYA who's

643
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: your quarterback Fantasy playoffs stash.

644
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 3: One that I think should have been picked up a

645
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 3: while ago. He's been a start for four weeks in

646
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: a row. Now it's Jacoby Brissett, who is still just

647
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 3: thirty five percent rostered. And I know in a lot

648
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: of my leagues people were picking him up just for

649
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: the week because.

650
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: Of buys or injuries or whatever.

651
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't be surprised if, with no teams on

652
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: buy this week, if he.

653
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: Gets thrown back out there.

654
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: And I will say he's coming off his worst loss

655
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: of this worst fantasy performance of the season where he

656
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: only gave you eighteen point seven Fantasy oones like he is,

657
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: he should not be out there, and then he gets

658
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: the Bucks this week. I think you could just straight

659
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: up play him if you're in knee, I would send him.

660
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: The two weeks after that, he gets the Rams and

661
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: the Texans, showing your Rams some respect. But then he

662
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: gets the Falcons, who, despite starting the year really hot,

663
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: have been lit up through the air lately, and then

664
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: Championship Week the Cincinnati Bengals.

665
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, even if you have.

666
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: A quarterback that you like, just have Jacoby on your

667
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 3: bench just in case, or maybe you don't love your

668
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 3: matchups late in the year, something like that, because if

669
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: he's starting week seventeen, he's gonna win some people some championships.

670
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: I do some stuff with a really smart, fun guy

671
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: named Gene Clemens, and he coined the phrase that I

672
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: think we should all adopt Jacoby briset it and forget it.

673
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: I love it.

674
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Jacoby preset it and forget it.

675
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 4: Do you think folks are still out there thinking that

676
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray's coming back and that's why his rostership is

677
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: so low, Like, why is he only rostered in thirty

678
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 4: two percent of the leagues. That's insane.

679
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think, I don't know.

680
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: I think it's the point where it's a stigma. But

681
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: it's also like you get to some point where you're

682
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: in a league and either you have a quarterback you

683
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: like or your team stinks and you're probably not really

684
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: paying full attention, so you're not really adding him off

685
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I don't I don't know. I'm trying

686
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: to come up with reasons.

687
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't have any.

688
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: It's also not pretty when you watch him all Like yesterday,

689
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: he didn't play particularly well, but yeah, they're in ketchup

690
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: mode very often, so he finishes with good Fantasy points.

691
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: That is true.

692
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: This is one I didn't think we'd be saying a

693
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, but to a tongue of maloa should.

694
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: Be picked up in at it.

695
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not going to sit here and tell

696
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: you that he's going to be a guy that you're

697
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: starting every single week. But the Dolphins have started playing better, right,

698
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: They've put together a couple of wins in a row.

699
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned this, I think it mentioned on the show

700
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: last week, right, that there is a good chance coming

701
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: out of the buy that they could run the table

702
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, an end at ten and

703
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: seven maybe be a playoff team. But you look at

704
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: their fantasy playoff schedule. They've got the Steelers on the road,

705
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: which you know, we know how Tua is and the

706
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: Colds that might not be great, particularly.

707
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: But at the Steelers at home.

708
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Against the Bengals and at home against the Bucks, that's

709
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: a very workable schedule for Tua, you know, especially if

710
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: he's just throwing dump offs to Devon a Chan and

711
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: letting him do the rest. Jalen Waddle has become a

712
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: big thing. Darren Waller is going to be coming back

713
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: at some point really soon too, So there are reasons

714
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: there to be excited. And for all the struggles that

715
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have had, Mike McDaniel can still draw up

716
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: an offense.

717
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 4: You know, the rest of it.

718
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: You might you might want to argue with you can

719
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: you can quibble over the rest of it.

720
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: He can still draw up an offense.

721
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, to oh, speaking of quarterbacks, and this this

722
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: just came across my timeline as we were talking. Kevin

723
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: O'Connell says JJ McCarthy is in concussion protocol. McCarthy reported

724
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: some symptoms as the Vikings came home last night.

725
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: So remember had a concussion for like to the last

726
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: five weeks with.

727
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: So it's just something to keep an eye on. We'll

728
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: see maybe Max Brosmer is it Brosmer Brosmer could be

729
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: the guy that gets the start. Next week, we.

730
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: Shall throw the ball to Justin Jefferson.

731
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: We shall see running back playoff stash. I guess let's

732
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: keep the dolphin theme.

733
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: Rolling here, ELQ. Yeah.

734
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: I like Ali Gordon man. The last we've seen him

735
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: was against the Washington Commanders, and I liked everything I

736
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 4: saw from with the limited touches, I mean, it looks

737
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 4: like he got some juice. I mean honestly, nine touches

738
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: and six of those touches were in striking distance, so

739
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: valuable touches that he has on the table for him.

740
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 4: And I think, honestly, when you're looking at Devon h Chan,

741
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: he has the fifth highest stuff free in the red zone.

742
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 4: So I do think when you insert Oli Gordon to

743
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 4: kind of throw off the defenses as a one to

744
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 4: two punch, that you can roll Oli Gordon Devon Chan.

745
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 4: I think for the fantasy playoffs, I want all the

746
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 4: running backs that are going to be able to be

747
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 4: put in striking distance the same way we look at

748
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: Tyler Aljeer as Zach Charbonnet. We could start pushing and

749
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 4: nudging Oli Gordon into that conversation, being that he had

750
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: a season high of snaps the last time we saw

751
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 4: him and just having that buy I'm pretty sure some

752
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 4: foot with the bye, we just threw him to the

753
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 4: waiver wire and not really thinking about picking him back up.

754
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 4: So he's sneaking under the radars, a guy that I

755
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: think is going to be getting more opportunities as the

756
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 4: Dolphins move forward.

757
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that too, Floya, You're so Sean Tucker.

758
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm stealing your thunder a little bit. But you're not

759
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: worried about Bucky Irving at all.

760
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: Well, I am, But even when Bucky was at his

761
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 3: best last year, Rashad White still played a part in

762
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: this offense.

763
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm kind of thinking Sean Tucker could be.

764
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: He could be the guy who gets like eight to

765
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: twelve touches as like the change of pays. But he's

766
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 3: been I know he struggled Sunday night against the Rams,

767
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: but he is by far their most explosive runner, and

768
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: that might include Bucky, Like we have to see what

769
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: Bucky looks like when he comes back. But Bucky was

770
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: averaging just over three yards per carry before he got hurt.

771
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 3: And then you look at this schedule. He gets to

772
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: Cardinals next week and then the Saints. Those are two

773
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: favoral matchups. But in the playoffs, the Falcons, the Panthers,

774
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: and the Dolphins so limited touches. He could be someone

775
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 3: that you're putting into your flex option and it only

776
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 3: takes one or two big plays for him to come

777
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: through in fantasy. So I think a lot of people

778
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: are probably going to throw Tucker back.

779
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: Because he had a down game this week.

780
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: They're like, Bucky's coming back, Baker's hurt, And if that

781
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 3: is the case, I would be looking to add him

782
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: and get him on your bench even if you don't

783
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: need him, Like what if one of your running backs

784
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: get hurt or something like that. He is someone that

785
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: you could plug in in one of these matchups and

786
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: they could potentially come through in a big way.

787
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you watch it, even though he didn't.

788
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Have a good game last night, you see the burst,

789
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: Like when he gets the ball in his hands, you

790
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: can see the explosiveness there definitely more than you see

791
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: from a show.

792
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: I thought he was going to break one off. I

793
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: thought he was going to break off one a couple

794
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 4: or two because honestly, like when you see him get

795
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 4: the ball, it's a night and day experience. With Rashad

796
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: White and Shot Tucker for sure, it's like they know

797
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 4: what they're doing now.

798
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Similar to that, I mean, I think Brian Robbinson is

799
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: the guy that should be added across leagues. I mean,

800
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: obviously there's the obvious of if something were to happen

801
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: to Christian McCaffrey, then he steps into a really big workload,

802
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: but also watching the way he's started to fit into

803
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: the offense.

804
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: Lately, running hard.

805
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: I know he had the angry run a couple of

806
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He's at a point now where the Niners

807
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: feel confident giving him a few extra snaps just so

808
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: that they can rest McCaffrey.

809
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 2: So it's not like a huge workload.

810
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: Right, I Mean, we know who the RB one is

811
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: in San Francisco when he's healthy, but it is getting

812
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: to a point where they feel confident giving Robinson, you know,

813
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: a drive here or there, like one maybe late in

814
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: the first half, maybe one sort of mid of the

815
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: second half, just giving him that opportunity to get the

816
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, give McCaffrey a chance to rest,

817
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: and when they get down near the goal line, he

818
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: does sort of turn it up a notch, like he

819
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: does have that nose for the end zone and he

820
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: can sense it, and so when they get close, you

821
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: know that touchdown upside sort of comes into play a

822
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: little bit.

823
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 4: But again it's.

824
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: Another situation where if nothing else, especially if you have

825
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, you definitely wantan Robinson. But even if you don't,

826
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe just to get him away from the hands of

827
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: the McCaffrey manager a little bit and give yourself some

828
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: insurance there in the backfield heading to the postseason.

829
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 4: Over wide receivers LQ like I like Jaden Higgins Man,

830
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: and he's a rookie and he's coming along the back

831
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 4: end of the season.

832
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: Man.

833
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: If you look at his last three games, Man, he

834
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: is getting targeted on thirty one percent of his routes.

835
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 4: That is an elite tier. That's the sixth highest in

836
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: that span within the last three games. So obviously every

837
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: route that he is running has value in it. I

838
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 4: know Davis Mills has been really the spark the last

839
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 4: couple of weeks for Nico Collins and the Jaden Higgins.

840
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 4: But I think even with c J. Stroud coming back,

841
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: we still should see a lot of Jaden Higgins. Man

842
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 4: seven plus targets in the last four of his five games.

843
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 4: This guy is starting to get elite viueme in elite opportunities.

844
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 4: Being that, hey, Nico Collins, he doesn't have the best

845
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: history of like having like a good health record. So

846
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: I think if he gets banged up at any point

847
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: and you're sitting in the playoffs, you're sitting with a

848
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: guy that's possibly the number one wide receiver. I know

849
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 4: Chris kirkus there and no Jalen Knowle is there, But

850
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 4: I think Higgins has been stepping out, showing up and

851
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 4: showing out a lot brighter than the other guys in

852
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 4: that wide receiver room outside of Nico Collins.

853
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: All Right, so we.

854
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: Got some life down in Houston, Lauria. Yesterday you asked

855
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: us whether you should sit Wandale Robinson or Darius Slayton.

856
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I made a poor choice

857
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: when I told you to sit Wandale, and thankfully, for

858
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: my sake, you didn't listen to me.

859
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: I didn't last minute put Slayton in for Darnaul Mooney

860
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: because those were the three I was debating.

861
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 4: And that one didn't work out.

862
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 3: I had Wan Dell in, and I know he's pretty

863
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: highly rostered at this point. If you're in like a

864
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: ten team league, he might be out there. But I

865
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: do have a couple of leagues where the trade deadline

866
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: hasn't passed yet. I don't think it's a bad idea

867
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: to try to get wand Dell on your team, and

868
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 3: I think Darius Slayton is someone you could throw a

869
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: dart on right now as well.

870
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 4: They get the Patriots and.

871
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 3: The Commanders their final two games before the Fantasy Playoffs,

872
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: which are both plus matchups, especially the Commanders, but then

873
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: in the playoffs they get the Vikings, the Raiders, and

874
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: the Cowboys.

875
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: Like you're not afraid of.

876
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 3: Any of those defenses, especially if Jackson Dart is back.

877
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: So I think there's the Giants are gonna have to

878
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: throw a lot. Their running game is is what it

879
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: is at this point, and they could at least in

880
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 3: a couple of those games they could be trailing.

881
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 4: They actually could win two of those three games too.

882
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: Now they think about it.

883
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: But just the way that the offense seems to be

884
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 3: clicking right now. I really believe in Dart and Wandell

885
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 3: is showing out in a big way. So yeah, I

886
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: think these are guys that you want on your roster.

887
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, look, man, I would vote for keeping Jamison there.

888
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: Just here's the thing, James.

889
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: So this is sort of that thing we talked about

890
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: with like the Colts, right, like the whole Daniel Jones

891
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson thing.

892
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 4: Right, Like Anthony Richardson.

893
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Is the guy you want because you want quarterback stats.

894
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: I think that's Jackson Dart because he's gonna run, He's

895
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna score those rushing touchdowns.

896
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 4: Jameis Winston is the guy that helps.

897
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Your wide receivers because he's just gonna sling the ball

898
00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: and apparently catch the ball too. Whoever that Lions defender was,

899
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: he probably should have to retire now because you you

900
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: gave up a catch like on a on an inadvertent

901
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: back shoulder throw.

902
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: It wasn't the real back shoulder throw. It was just

903
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 4: poorly thrown and.

904
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: Jamison had to slow down and stop and then he

905
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: breaks the tackle and shakes you to the end zone.

906
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 4: That's probably sixty.

907
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 3: Wait, they have a I misread so their playoffs are

908
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: Commander's Vikings Raiders.

909
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: I misread it.

910
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: It is okay, a fantastic playoff at which go grab

911
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: the Giants defense.

912
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: Now too, those are all you could shoot against, all

913
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: three of those.

914
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: That's a good call, good call on that. So I

915
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: have Test Johnson here now. Obviously depending on the seriousness

916
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: of Baker's injury.

917
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 4: That could change.

918
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: But I think when you sort of look at this

919
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: offense and with no Mike Evans, Chris Godwin is back,

920
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: but I think he's still working his way back into shape,

921
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: that means a lot more attention is going to a

922
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: Mecca Abuka and Tess. Johnson is finding opportunities. I mean,

923
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: we saw it early in that game last night that

924
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: they were getting him the ball. He caught the touchdown

925
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: pass from Baker in the first half. But he's starting

926
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: to get more looks and I think that goes a

927
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: long way when you're talking about this offense and where

928
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: they're going. Because I said earlier this has not been

929
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: the same offense the last month that it was early

930
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: in the season, but not a bad playoff schedule. They've

931
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: got the Falcons at the Panthers.

932
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: Which could be difficult.

933
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: It really could mean a lot for the division depending

934
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: on how these next couple of weeks ages, and then

935
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: at Miami to end things.

936
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: So there are some opportunities there.

937
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: But I think more than anything, I think volume and

938
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: just somebody you can throw in a flex in a pinch,

939
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: and I think Tesz Johnson sort of fits that category

940
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: right now. Finally, tight ends and LaQuan Yeah, I love

941
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: how you book into this with Jaguars.

942
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 4: Started with Jaguars here. It just happened that way. But

943
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 4: Brent Strains was amazing man, and like I was one

944
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 4: of the few folks that picked him up when he

945
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 4: was on the waiver wire for all the injuries, and

946
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 4: I think a lot of folks forgot about him with

947
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: the constant rotation of tight ends that we were popping

948
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 4: on and off the waiver wire. And I think him

949
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 4: coming in and making a statement game one ninety three yards,

950
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 4: my boy came in and showed up and showed out.

951
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 4: And earlier in this season we saw there was flashes

952
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: where he can hold a twenty percent target share. He

953
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 4: can have all the volume in the red zone as well,

954
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: where there's touchdown upside with Trevor mid Lawrence, and I

955
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 4: think at the end of the day, when you look

956
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 4: at the tight end position, all we want is ten

957
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 4: Fantasy points, and I think he can give you that stability,

958
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: being that we've seen this offense a support or tight

959
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 4: end like cadad and with Liam Cohen and b we

960
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 4: saw it with Evan Ingram when he was there with

961
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: Trevor mid Lawrence, so there's obviously familiarity there with the

962
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 4: position and the quarterback. So I think in the playoffs, man,

963
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 4: if you were looking for stability at the tight end position,

964
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 4: I promise you he's probably on your waiver wire right now.

965
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, Laurya, would you like to change this name

966
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: to Taysom Hill instead of what you do have currently?

967
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: No, because that's a one week thing for Taysom.

968
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 3: In the league that I referenced where I lost Sam Laporta,

969
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: I started Aj Barner and then on Saturday night I

970
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: picked up Brenton Strange. I think I'm just riding out

971
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: with these two throughout the Fantasy playoffs. But Aj Barner,

972
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: I know this past week he disappointed, only gave you

973
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 3: less than three Fantasy points, but more often than not,

974
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: he had look. Jaya Sen is a one man MVP

975
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: wrecking crew, but more often than not, the number two target,

976
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: especially in the red zone is AJ Barner. And then

977
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: their schedule their final three playoff games, Fantasy Playoff games.

978
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 4: The Colts, the Rams.

979
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 3: The Panthers. The Colts and Panthers are both in the

980
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 3: top six and fantasy points per game against tight ends

981
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: and LQ as good as your Rams have been in

982
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: the last month, they kind of look like their old

983
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 3: sales when it comes to tight ends. They're in the

984
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 3: top two and fantasy points allowed. So it's it's just

985
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: a matchup base thing here. But he has three plus

986
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: matchups in the Fantasy playoffs, So to me, that's enough

987
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: to be in the streaming category.

988
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I have no problem streaming AJ Barner.

989
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, the Seahawks have been

990
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: trying to find other alternatives to JSN. I mean, he's

991
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: still going to get you know, I think he's getting

992
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: like almost forty percent of the target something like that

993
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: right now.

994
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 2: That's not going to change a lot, but I think they.

995
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,959
Speaker 1: Want to find somewhere else to go, right Cooper Cup

996
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: and it's kind of been I think what we expected.

997
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, Rashid Shied still has not made an impact

998
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: since he's got to Seattle.

999
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: So Aj Barner come on down. I think that's what

1000
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: it is. Line's Darren Waller, and I know he's not

1001
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: back yet.

1002
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: I think this week would be the soonest he could

1003
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: come back if they decide to open up his practice

1004
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: window and get him back involved again. But he will

1005
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: come back before the season is over. They have said

1006
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: that very confidently. And I know he wasn't on the

1007
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: field a lot. He wasn't getting a lot of routes,

1008
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,959
Speaker 1: but when he was on the field, they were using him,

1009
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: and especially near the end zone. I mean, he just

1010
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: gives them a big end zone target that they don't

1011
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: have otherwise. And to what was taking advantage of that?

1012
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: And so we know how this works. If you're tied end,

1013
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: if you catch a touchdown. I got to catch a

1014
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: touchdown and you had a pretty good shot of being

1015
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: a top ten tight end for the week, right, I

1016
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: mean you can be at a rank And I a

1017
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: couple years ago had Kimba with the term the seven

1018
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: point one guys, right, those guys who catch one catch

1019
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: for one yard in the touchdown seven point one PPR

1020
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: points like he can do that in Vinco, So he's

1021
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: absolutely worth having on your roster, maybe playing when the

1022
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: matchup is right. If you're streaming tight ends, Darren Waller

1023
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: is a guy who could sneakily pay some dividends for

1024
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: you down the stretch.

1025
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 4: So all right, I'm take one more break. Come back.

1026
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some drop zone talk, some waiver wire stuff,

1027
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: getting you ready for Lucky Week thirteen. That's coming up

1028
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. The National Football

1029
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: League continues to honor and commemorate the late John Madden

1030
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: with the fourth annual John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration on Thursday,

1031
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: November twenty seventh. Madden once said there's no place that

1032
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: I would rather be today on Thanksgiving than right here,

1033
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: right now at a football game, and the John Madden

1034
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Celebration brings together all the things that were important

1035
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: to him family, football, food, tradition, and fun. So two

1036
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: then on Thursday, while you take down your turkey and stuffing,

1037
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers play the Detroit Lions at one

1038
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: pm Eastern on Fox. The Kansas City Chiefs battle the

1039
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at four thirty pm. Eastern on CBS, and

1040
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Baltimore Ravens at eight

1041
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty pm Eastern on NBC. Enjoy the games and have

1042
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: a happy Thanksgiving. Time to channel Wesley Snipes and head

1043
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: to the drop zone. Guys that we are saying goodbye

1044
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: to on our fantasy rosters. I see the name you

1045
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: have here, and I'm wondering, will it change if this

1046
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: guy's starting quarterback is out for an extended period of time.

1047
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 4: No, get him off the roster. I'm done, bro, He's

1048
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 4: called like, I mean, we've given him so many chances.

1049
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 4: I think this is not the first time. It's not

1050
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 4: the first time DJ Hockinson has been on this list.

1051
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 4: Like it's one of those things where it's like you

1052
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 4: are hopeful because we hold on to what he did

1053
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 4: in the past. We know what he's capable of. But

1054
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 4: it's just not the situation he's in right now. Only

1055
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 4: two games over ten fantasy points this season. This guy

1056
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 4: is not being a top priority target in this offense

1057
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 4: with JJ McCarty, Carson Wentz. It doesn't matter who it

1058
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: is who's going to be back there. This offense is

1059
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 4: not clicking. There's problems at the offensive line. There's obviously

1060
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 4: a need and focus to get the ball to Justin Jefferson. TJ.

1061
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 4: Hockinson is not on the total POMA as a guy

1062
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 4: that I think is going to see much by him.

1063
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: So heading into the fantasy playoffs, if you were going

1064
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 4: into the fantasy playoffs, you need to make pivot options

1065
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 4: right now at the tight end position because TJ. Hockinson

1066
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 4: ain't it. I'm looking at his game logs here.

1067
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: He had a game where he caught a touchdown and

1068
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: still didn't score ten fantasy points.

1069
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 4: Yike, it was a long stretch. I don't know.

1070
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 3: He still might not have where he didn't top fifteen

1071
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: yards with JJ McCarthy.

1072
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 4: Uh no, he has one.

1073
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: He had one game with thirty nine yards.

1074
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 4: I say that was the game I had hope, but

1075
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 4: I was like, no, he is toasted.

1076
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: You have thirty nine yards in a game a couple

1077
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: of weeks ago against the Bears with.

1078
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 4: The eighteen percent target share, It's like they were throwing

1079
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 4: the ball, but it's just it wasn't valuable. I thought

1080
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 4: about this yesterday too.

1081
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: And I'll get to you in a second, Floria, But

1082
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a conversation to kind of be had

1083
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: in the offseason about whether or not it makes sense

1084
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: to be super wide receiver heavy early in drafts if

1085
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: teams are going to prioritize efficiency and short passing, right,

1086
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a it's a long conversation

1087
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: that involves some research, but.

1088
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 4: I'm just like watching all these teams and all.

1089
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: These quarterbacks throw five yard passes and throw bubble screens

1090
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: and basically hope their pass catchers can get run after

1091
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: the catch.

1092
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: And so it's now I'm kind of like.

1093
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 1: You know, do we load up on wide receivers early

1094
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: if this is how it's.

1095
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: Going to be and whatever. I don't know. I mean,

1096
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: I've opened up.

1097
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: To all suggestions, but I just thought about that last night.

1098
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 3: Thanks Lomo for exactly I mean, you do.

1099
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: They even took Patrick Mahomes from us. They made him

1100
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: a dump off guy for a while too.

1101
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 4: Like that's Joe Brady is doing that to Josh Allen

1102
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 4: right now.

1103
00:49:59,160 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 2: It's terrible.

1104
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: Oh God, was sorry.

1105
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 4: Would you like take a moment, would you like.

1106
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 2: To take a moment to to you know, verbally scold

1107
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: Joe Brady before you get into that.

1108
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Josh Allen has one game this year where

1109
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 3: he's averaged over ten air yards per attempt, like Khalil

1110
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 3: Shakira is the lowest air yards per attempt of all

1111
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 3: wide receivers.

1112
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 4: That's your best receiver. Like it's all bubble screens. Uh.

1113
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 3: And and Mesh he runs Mesh like I played like

1114
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: I do in Madden Man. Well, I'm like, yeah, the

1115
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 3: computer can't figure this out except for its real life

1116
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 3: humans on the other side, and they can figure it

1117
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 3: out anyway.

1118
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 4: Uh.

1119
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary, who for the first couple of weeks after

1120
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: we lost Cam Skataboo, it was kind of a split,

1121
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 3: and then last week we started to see Tracy a

1122
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 3: little bit in the heavier side. This past weekend went

1123
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 3: fully in that direction. Singletary played just thirty percent of

1124
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 3: the snaps. He had no targets. Obviously, Tracy is the

1125
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 3: better pass catcher of the two, but that was something

1126
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 3: that we didn't really get prior.

1127
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 4: To this week. And then Singletary had just fourteen carries.

1128
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: Low floor play.

1129
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 3: Right now, you're hoping for a touchdown if you use him,

1130
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: probably need a touchdown to get to double digital Fantasy points.

1131
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 3: He has nothing more than a handcuff, but he's a

1132
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 3: handcuff on a bad team. So like in deeper league,

1133
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: sure you could still stash Devin Singletary if you want,

1134
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 3: but like I have him in a twelve team league

1135
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 3: and I'm.

1136
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 4: One hundred percent dropping him this week.

1137
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprise because I felt like Brian

1138
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: Dable getting let go was gonna be the key to

1139
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,959
Speaker 1: unlock Devin Singletary. It is like, hey, man, like he's

1140
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: gone now, like you can get opportunity. And it's like

1141
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: Mike Kafka looked at it and the like he's like, nah, sorry,

1142
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: this is not gonna work.

1143
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 2: Mind's the guy that hasn't played for you all year,

1144
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 2: And it's like.

1145
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: It's officially like you could just let it go now.

1146
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, I looked, was still rostered in like over

1147
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of NFL dot com leagues and you

1148
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: could just you could say goodbye now he hasn't played

1149
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: all year. The I mean like it's like when they've

1150
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: asked Demiko, Ryan's about it, He's done everything short of saying,

1151
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: who's Jill Mixon? Like, I mean they just have no

1152
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: answers for like what's going on down there? And now

1153
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: they've pretty much conceded that he's probably not gonna play

1154
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: this season. I mean, if he somehow does come back

1155
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: to play, you're probably look at it like what week,

1156
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: what sixteen, seventeen eighteen, something like that, Like it's just

1157
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: it's not worth it at.

1158
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 4: This But let him tell it. I mean he shot

1159
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 4: back at our our guy I saw. I mean, like,

1160
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 4: what are we doing? Like he thinks that he's playing

1161
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 4: this year?

1162
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, like what I saw that?

1163
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: Like you know, I can't remember the exact quote was,

1164
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: but basically like you know, fake news or something like that.

1165
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 4: But like Joe.

1166
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: Mixon has done nothing to suggest he's on track to play, right,

1167
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: Like we don't even get we don't even get blurry

1168
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: cell phone video like I want. I want, like I

1169
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: at least want some big foot like footage right of

1170
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon.

1171
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 4: I still think that was That picture was taken on

1172
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 4: a flip phone, probably a Razor motorole apart.

1173
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: Just I just I need something where it's like, you know,

1174
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: somebody from a distance, like bro, I think that's Joe

1175
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: Mixon working out on this high school field. Like I

1176
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: need one of those at least something nothing so you know,

1177
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: if you were holding on to hope that Joe Mix

1178
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: was gonna somehow come back late in the season.

1179
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: Like you can you can move on from that.

1180
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 4: MG question. Yeah, we're on this topic. Do we see

1181
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 4: Brandon Nyuk this year? I had hit you know, he got.

1182
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: I thought about making this a combo platter for this

1183
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: segment too, just being like Joe mixing Brandon.

1184
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 4: I like, you can say bye to both of them.

1185
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 4: Remember when it was week six? Was the timeline? Yeah, yeah, routes. Yeah.

1186
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: The only real question with Brandon Ayuk is where, where

1187
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: or if he plays football next year. I assume he's

1188
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: gonna play for somebody next year. It's definitely not going

1189
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: to be the forty nine ers. It's not gonna be

1190
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,479
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. I think a lot of teams

1191
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: are gonna look around and be like do we really

1192
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: need this head case? Like is he going to give

1193
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: us enough production to mitigate the headaches causes?

1194
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,280
Speaker 3: He he got the deal he wanted, tore his athl

1195
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 3: and then was upset at the team like it makes.

1196
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 4: No sense to me.

1197
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny and I again, you know how sometimes

1198
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: you go back through your mind and back through incidents

1199
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: and you realize that oh yeah, no, This was the

1200
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 1: signal like way from the beginning, because remember that first year,

1201
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,479
Speaker 1: they loved it. They drafted him, they loved his talent.

1202
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: They thought he could be a big part of it,

1203
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 1: and you could see the flashes. But he also spent

1204
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: a good chunk of that first year in Kyle Shanahan's

1205
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: doghouse because he just didn't want to do a lot

1206
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: of the things necessary.

1207
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 2: Right, Like they.

1208
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: Needed him blocking, Like they didn't even need him to

1209
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: be a Puka nukua level blocker, right, They didn't need

1210
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: him to be one of them. They just needed him

1211
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: to try. They just need him to try, and he

1212
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: would even try. And so it was that second year

1213
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: when he started to break out because he finally started

1214
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: to buy into this a little bit. I think he

1215
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: looked around and he's like, oh, if I don't put

1216
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: effort in for these other things and I can't be

1217
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: on the field to catch the football. But I think

1218
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: that that first year, Brandon Ayuk has come back, right

1219
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: because he had some success, he held out, he got

1220
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: paid and so then rookie year, Brandon, I you at

1221
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: least a mentality started to come back again. And now

1222
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: here we are in a situation where he got paid,

1223
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: he decided he didn't really want to participate, and now

1224
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 1: the Niners are like, okay, well we're just gonna We're

1225
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: just gonna direct undeposit.

1226
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 3: He's not gonna get the same deal, right freshold in ACL,

1227
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 3: like what are you doing?

1228
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: And ACL hasn't played in a couple of years. Yeah,

1229
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: no he's not. It's just a notorious head case. Somebody

1230
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: will offer him something, but like it, amagers. It might

1231
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: be the kind of thing where we're three weeks into

1232
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: training camp and suddenly it's like, oh yeah, hey, by

1233
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: the way, you know, Brandon, it gets like a veteran

1234
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: minimum or something like that.

1235
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 3: I've seen bills fans online be like that's you, and

1236
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, please, please get someone better.

1237
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 4: Like bro, you.

1238
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 2: Guys, just you guys, just you just you guys just

1239
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 2: cleared the.

1240
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: Air of Stefan Diggs and that whole thing, Like I

1241
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: don't think you really need.

1242
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want, I want aj Brown, that's the dream,

1243
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 3: but like I'll take there's better options out there.

1244
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 4: Give me DJ more before.

1245
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 3: Brandon, ayuk, you know, wow, all right, yeah that's a

1246
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 3: little more.

1247
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong, but that's a whole I

1248
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: just don't want that head case.

1249
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 4: Isn't DJ more like twenty nine years old? Though, like

1250
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 4: he's old, he's twenty old.

1251
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 3: I don't want him, but I would take him over Ayuk.

1252
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 2: He's old.

1253
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: He'll be twenty nine next to April. So yeah, that anyway,

1254
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: enough of that conversation. Yeah, he's not that much younger.

1255
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 1: Florida who's on the waiver wire that people should pay attention.

1256
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 2: To this week?

1257
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah he is twenty seven. Well I kind of guess that,

1258
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 3: And it was right. Quarterbacks we spoke a lot about already.

1259
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett, Trevor Lawrence go back twenty minutes and here

1260
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 3: why we both like them. For the Fantasy playoffs. Running Backs,

1261
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 3: Kyle Mnungai played not only more and more carries like

1262
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 3: he is looking like a big threat to DeAndre Swift.

1263
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 3: There Kareem Hunt. Look, it took him thirty carries to

1264
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 3: get one hundred yards, but they clearly love him, like

1265
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 3: he's going to get the goal line work and everything.

1266
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco looking like he could be back potentially as

1267
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 3: soon as this week. Trey Benson, they opened up his

1268
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 3: practice window right and they have a pretty favorable schedule

1269
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 3: moving forward. We spoke about Devin Neil and then last

1270
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 3: third Kansas City Chief. But Prashard Smith just looks explosive

1271
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 3: out of that backfield. Maybe they start to hand him

1272
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 3: more work. It's just more of a deeper stash wide receivers. Look,

1273
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: you must add Christian Watson to Michael Wilson. Wilson looks

1274
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: like they're best receiver right now, and Watson has taken over.

1275
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: He has surpassed Romeo Dobbs. So that's all I need

1276
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 3: to see there. Jim Ray d k Jaden Reed is

1277
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: coming closer to a return. Luther Burden continues to be

1278
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: the wide receiver three for the Bears, and they are

1279
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 3: generating touches for him. Greg Dortch as long as Marvis

1280
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 3: out is in play, Jayden Higgins as LQ spoke about

1281
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 3: we've already discussed the Bengals wide receivers, and then look,

1282
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 3: I threw in a couple of jets here, John Mitchi

1283
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 3: and Donnie Mitchell that like Mitchell had like two hundred

1284
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 3: air yards and Mitchi has been productive two weeks in

1285
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 3: a row now. And then Jalen McMillan, he's another week away,

1286
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: I think, but he is going to be back if

1287
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: you need to get the receiver and then tight end.

1288
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 3: Breton Strange, Dwan Johnson, Colson Lovelin, A J. Barner, Taysom Hill,

1289
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 3: Fiel Johnson. Like we spoke about Strange and Barner already,

1290
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson continues to be productive. Uh, Lovelin is getting

1291
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: more utilized. So I'm not sure if I want to

1292
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 3: start him weekly just yet, but he's getting to that

1293
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: point and then the others are just kind of deeper

1294
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 3: dark throws.

1295
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I'm I think I'm down as

1296
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: starting Colston Loveland pretty much every week.

1297
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: He's he's tied in five over the last month.

1298
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's ahead of He's just behind Travis Kelsey's

1299
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: ahead of Mark Andrews, while I had a Tyler.

1300
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: Warren over the last month.

1301
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of down with Colston Loveland at this point. Also,

1302
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: watching Kareem Hunt yesterday, he runs like he has a

1303
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: two by four shoved down his.

1304
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 2: Back, Like it's just straight up.

1305
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: Like Adam Rank used to say that Latavius Murray ran

1306
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: like a door, and that's kind of what that's kind

1307
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: of what claim Hunt runs like.

1308
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 2: Now, It's like a door It's.

1309
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 3: Just saying to me that every team knows that when

1310
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 3: they're on the one, it's going to Kareem Hunt, and

1311
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 3: yet it still works.

1312
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: And man, look, I grew up in the era of

1313
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, where you knew he was going to get

1314
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: the ball on third and short.

1315
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 4: It is good for fantasy fantas.

1316
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: A couple of years with Kareem Man like that rookie

1317
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: year was amazing for Kareem a.

1318
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 4: Couple of seasons, and.

1319
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: This is definitely a different Kareem Hunt than we saw

1320
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: earlier in his career. All right, there you go. That's

1321
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: enough for this show. This has been just completely off

1322
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: the rails from a.

1323
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 4: Minute I love these are the best shows, Marcus. From

1324
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 4: the best show.

1325
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: Until minute sixty. This one has been off the rails.

1326
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: So kudos to all of you out there who stayed

1327
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,960

1329

01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate Kyrie Douglas are our producer hanging in with

Speaker 1: us as well.

1332
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 4: But he sort of doesn't have a choice.

1333
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: But you know the fact that the fact that he

1334
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: didn't just pull the plug on this one halfway through

1335
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: and just say you guys are done.

1336
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,920
