1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody. It is Thursday, January two. Welcome to

2
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we have no plans

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: to retire this offseason. I'm Marcus Grant alongside Michael f

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: florial producer Justin is at the controls, and we have

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: a special guest today. You know her from NFL Fantasy Live.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: She is the star of stage, screen and Instagram and

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: the last time we saw her she was getting ready

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: to get married. She has now said I do officially

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: welcome this. Give me checks. How you doing? What's up? Guys?

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: I know I'm a wife now. Now Jason officially has

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: to root for the Kansas City Chiefs over his horrible

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Like things are good, but I'm gonna try

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: not to talk about the Chiefs because I know Orrio

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: you're probably still, you know, working through some heartbroken. But honestly,

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: if it was the other way around, I'd be on

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: cloud nine. So you you get take take your bow,

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: enjoy it, because I mean, I've come around to the

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: fact that it was probably the best game I've ever

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: seen two quarterbacks play. My guy didn't come out on top,

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: but hey, I mean, I'm trying to make a positive

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: It was my only fear. And I don't know if

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: you guys like feel this, like there's no way the

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl can be that incredible like that, that's my

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: only feel Like. It reminded me of what season was

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: at twenty nineteen UM Super Bowl in Atlanta when it

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: was the Patriots and the Rams and what it was like.

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Ten to three was like the score of the games.

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: And we were we all said, like the Chiefs Ram

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: games that year, which was supposed to be the game

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: played in Mexico City that then was moved to Monday

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Night football in l A. We're like, that was the

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: super Bowl And now I'm like, was that Bill's Chief's

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: game the super Bowl of this year? Like it was

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: the most incredible game and playoff game I have ever seen?

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: It was. It was pretty amazing. Um, And you're right,

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be hard. Look, we've got two good

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: games on paper this week, but who knows if it

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: lives up to that in the super Bowl, It's it's

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to top. It's definitely would be hard

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: to top. Um. All we got plenty to talk about, though.

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: We actually had news that happened before our show. See Camy,

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: You're you're not here regularly, and it's become it's become

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: a running thing now that after we record the show,

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: like almost immediately after we're done, some big piece of

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: news breaks. But today it looks like everybody's getting their

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: news dumps out ahead of time. So thank you, uh NFL,

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: good luck, charm. Let's let's keep this up, I know, right,

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's make this happen a regular on a regular basis,

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: so we will talk some dfs, will give me some

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: of our fantasy picks for the weekend, also give you

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: our lineups for the weekend. But let's start with some

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: of this news that that is breaking. Just a couple

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: of quick notes. A couple of head coaches have been hired.

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: The Bears hire Colts defensive coordinator Matt eber Flews to

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: be their next head coach, and the Broncos bringing in

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hacketts as their head coach. Um, I don't know

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: if either of you have any big, grand pronouncements about

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: what this means. I feel like it's just so new,

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: it's just just happening that it's sort of hard to

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: wrap our heads around. But um, I don't know Florio

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: any any big takeaways from some of these. Uh my

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: big take I have more of a takeaway on Hackett

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: because he's an offensive guy, and I know it's easy

64
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: to call a good offense when you have Aaron Rodgers

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams. But he had success in Jacksonville before

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: that as well, so that makes me feel good about

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos. And also, I mean, it's Aaron Rodgers and

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams coordinator going to the team that we keep

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: seeing Aaron Rodgers photoshopped in their jersey. It's only gonna

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: add more fuel to that that Rogers Broncos fire breaking news.

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Florio and Marcus announcing Aaron Rodgers Broncos. We've already locked

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: it up. It's done now, so like we can just

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: move on everybody, just you know, just adjust accordingly. Um. Yeah,

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think that the Hackett thing for

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: fantasy seems a little bit more intriguing because that's sort

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: of what the Broncos needed. So we'll see what happens there. Um.

77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: The other coaching piece of news, Sean Payton steps down

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: as head coach of the Saints after fifteen seasons. Now, Kimmy,

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: we know you are a Chiefs fan, but I also

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: know you're a little bit of a part time Saints

81
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: fan as well. Um, Sean Payne has been there for

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: a long times and a lot of great things. This

83
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: is a new era for the Saints now with no

84
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. If you go to the Saints Instagram page

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: and you just look at the comments, and you know

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: they've been posting all these odes to Sean Payton and players,

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, posting photos and funny videos of him. Like

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: New Orleans is not okay right now. They weren't okay

89
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: after the season last that they had this year, and

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: now without a Sean Payton, I think there are a

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. And I know it was so

92
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: surprising because we kind of heard rumblings that you know, oh,

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, some different broadcast partners are are interested in

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. But in my head, I'm like, there's no

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: way Sean Payton steps away from New Orleans because he's

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: built such a storied franchise and he still has so

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: many awesome pieces. But then you look at their salary

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: cap situation, the kind of quarterback question marks, the fact that, uh,

99
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, their wide receiver one and Michael Thomas has

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: had a very down last few years and there's a

101
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: lot of question marks there. So I think, you know,

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton making the decision is obviously a personal decision.

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we see him step away from football completely.

104
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: I could see him retiring, are stepping away for a

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: year and then you know, next season emerging as a

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: as another head coaching candidate. But my biggest thing is like, now,

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: what with the Saints, Like what are they going to do? Right?

108
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: Obviously there's some big names who are going to hit

109
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: free agency this year at the quarterback spot. You know,

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: they paid Taysom Hill a crap ton of money, um,

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: and that didn't necessarily work out this year with injuries

112
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: and and just other things. So I'm just concerned as

113
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: a as a halftime Saints fan and also just a

114
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: fan of fantasy, like what does that mean for Alvin Kmaro?

115
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: What does that mean for all these other pieces of

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the offense that for years we've been so confident? Then well,

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: and that's the thing Forloria. You and I talked about

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: this a little bit on Tuesday, before we knew Sean

119
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Payton was was going to leave New Orleans. Um, we

120
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: were sort of concerned about about Alvin Kamara. Um, do

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: we turn up? Did we ratchet up the concern level now?

122
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: With no Sean Payton. I think you have to write like,

123
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: because this was a coach that we at least knew

124
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: was going to force feed Kimara the ball, especially near

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: the goal line. He was gonna design a whole bunch

126
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: of passing plays. I mean, Sean Payton has kind of

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: built his offense to revolve around Alvin Kamara. I think

128
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: whoever they bring in will continue to do so because

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: he's still Alvin Kamara. But are they going to be

130
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: as successful doing it as Sean Payton has been? That

131
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: is where the concern and I think Kimmy hit the

132
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: nail on the head. The Saints cap situation is really

133
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: bad right now. And I know Saints fans continue to

134
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: say we work around it every year. It's like, yeah,

135
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: that works until it doesn't and then Michael Thomas has

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: been unhappy there and if he my fear is that

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas requests the trade, and then Alvin Kamara is like,

138
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: why do I want to be here? Like get me

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: out of here too. So I definitely think this is

140
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: negative for for Alvin Kamara and all of the Saints. Yeah,

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: I just you know, like we talked about though, there's

142
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: there's no pieces around him. Can you mentioned there over

143
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: the cap, They're like seventy six and a half million

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: over the cap. So it's just it's not jump change

145
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: right now. It's it's just looking all bad for Camara

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: and just kind of the Saints in the short term.

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that Alvin Cameron drops out of

148
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: the first round next season? Way too early predictions, Alvin

149
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Kamara obviously getting a new head coach. Obviously we'll find

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: out more information on who the quarterback will be. Can

151
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: you make an argument that Alvin Kamara is no longer

152
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: our first round fantasy think? I think you can make

153
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: the argument. I don't. I don't think you can make

154
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: a strong one, just because I still think he's gonna

155
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: get the ball a ton. But I did say I

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: think he drops out of being a top ten running

157
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: back next year. But I still think I still think,

158
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I still think he's a first rounder just because there

159
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: aren't a lot of guys who are who you can

160
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: expect to get the number of touches that Camara is

161
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: going to get. Yeah, I think I'll name alone, like,

162
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: I don't think he goes top vibe, but I wouldn't.

163
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Like if you're sitting there with like the tent pick,

164
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people will be like, well,

165
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: he's still having Kamara right exactly. Muscle memory. Man, It's

166
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: like what I call it? What's It's just like we're

167
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: so used to picking Alvin Kamara up high that I

168
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: just don't think he completely falls out of the first

169
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: round this year. Um. Alright, So, now, with Sean Payton

170
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: stepping away, with the two reported hires we have on

171
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Thursday morning, that leaves seven openings right now, there's Houston,

172
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Miami, Minnesota, New Orleans, and the New

173
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: York Football Giants, although apparently Jacksonville maybe is getting close

174
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: on a higher we'll see about that. They'll likely make

175
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the announcement as soon as we're done recording the show,

176
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: because that's just how things work. Um. But uh, I mean,

177
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at these these seven, is

178
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: there one that you feel like, fantasy wise, it's still

179
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of really intriguing, especially if they can hire the

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: right person. I think the Vikings, obviously that's a great

181
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: organization and there's a lot of fantasy studs in there.

182
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: You you obviously have Dalvin Cook, you have Adam Feeling,

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: you have Justin Eferson. But the one that I was

184
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: weirdly really excited about when I was kind of thinking

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: about this question. And it's interesting knowing that I am

186
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan and in the a f C. West

187
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: is looking at Las Vegas and really trying to understand

188
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: like that organization went through the most trying season but

189
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: still made it to the playoffs, and they have so

190
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: many pieces. You had Derek Carr, who was what within

191
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: the top three the top five in terms of passing

192
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: yards this season. At the quarterback spot, you had Hunter

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Renfrow emerged as a wide receiver one and literally blow

194
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: all of our minds with the things he did on

195
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. You still have Darren Waller,

196
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: you still obviously have Josh Jacobs in the run game.

197
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Like it's a very attractive team and to see what

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: they were able to do in spite of all that

199
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: adversity is really interesting. And if they really do get

200
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the right head coach and you know now the right

201
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: GM in there, I'm interested to see if they really

202
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: become yearly contenders, obviously understanding that they have a very

203
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: tough division, especially if we're gonna say Aaron Rodgers is

204
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: going to go to the Brown Goes. You have the Broncos,

205
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: you have the Chiefs, you have the Chargers. It's a

206
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: tough division. But those teams are all loaded with weapons

207
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: and you kind of can't count Las Vegas out. Yeah,

208
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: which one for you, Floria? My first thought was, like

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Kimmy was like the Vikings because of all the big

210
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: name fantasy pieces they have, but going a little bit

211
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: different direction, I guess. I think the Jaguars are a

212
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: really interesting spot because they still have last year's number

213
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: one overall pick and Trevor Lawrence, who I still believe in.

214
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I think it was more a situation with Urban Meyer

215
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: and just an awful situation to put a rookie quarterback in.

216
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: They still have talent in the backfield with James Robinson

217
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: and Travis E. T N. We liked their receivers coming

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: into this year, but they also have the number one

219
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: pick this year. They have a bunch of cap I

220
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: think their third in the NFL with with the most

221
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: cap space, so you could bring in some offensive pieces there,

222
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: hopefully you sign an offensive minded coach, and then you

223
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: really we we will get a fair assessment of what

224
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is, because I think last year was anything

225
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: but fair for him. I do think the jaguars number

226
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: one priority this offseason is to find a coach who

227
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: can help develop, uh, Trevor Lawrence, because obviously this guy

228
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the future. He's going to be

229
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: the franchise. You sort of already lost a year with him. Um.

230
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's why the name Byron Left which

231
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: keeps coming up right. A former quarterback, a guy who

232
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: has worked with quarterbacks, developed guys. Um, it seems to

233
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. So I like both those

234
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: called Vegas and Jacksonville. I think we're both kind of

235
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: intriguing this year. I mean, I want to say Miami,

236
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: but but I don't know. As much as I love

237
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: to uh, as much as I love to like, I'm

238
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: starting to like realize that maybe he just he's kind

239
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: of a jag. I don't know. So well, we'll see

240
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: what happens there. Um. Speaking of quarterbacks, Ben Roethlisberger made

241
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: it official on Thursday morning he is retiring from the NFL,

242
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: which is kind of what we expected. I mean, the

243
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: last few years have not been really fun to watch Ben.

244
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't really want to spend a lot of time

245
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: talking about Mason Rudolph because it makes me sad, but

246
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I will ask you guys, start with you, Florio. Is

247
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger a Fantasy Hall of Famer? I think borderline.

248
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: I think I think he would make it because of

249
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: longevity and like the stats, like he's top ten in

250
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of passing stats, but like you look at

251
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: his career numbers and outside of that stretch where it

252
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: was like the Killer Bees where he had Levan Bell

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown, he was always like a borderline QB

254
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: one or a QB two and Fantasy. But I think

255
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: because of namesake and longevity he would get in. But

256
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: I think you could easily make the case that he's

257
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: not all right. Kimmy, I was gonna say, no, I

258
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: feel bad. I feel no, I feel bad. I always

259
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: feel bad. It's like, I'm not going to talk crap

260
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: on these guys, like I could not do an ounce

261
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: of anything big could do. But just in terms of

262
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: how long I've been playing Fantasy and you guys hop

263
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: in here too, I never drafted Ben Roethlisberger, not even

264
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: as a QB two, So like we're gonna make the

265
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: cases hee a Hall of Famer or not. It's like, well,

266
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: would you want them on your team? And it is

267
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: a consistent note for me, So sadly no, but great career,

268
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: Very proud of you. I don't know you, but like,

269
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a fantasy Hall of Fame er,

270
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: and like it's you know whatever. But I'm just trying

271
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: to think, like I'm trying if I ever had been

272
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger on the team, and I want to say maybe,

273
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: but like I'm looking through this and like, does not

274
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: have a forty touchdown season. In fact, does not have

275
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: a thirty five touchdown season at any point. Did have

276
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: yards in eighteen? He had almost five thousand and fourteen.

277
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: That's kind of as you mentioned though, Florida when they

278
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: had the Killer Bees. You know, they had Antonio Brownie before,

279
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: when they had Mike Wallace and they're really doing some

280
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: big things. Um, yeah, maybe he's just the fantasy Hall

281
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: of very good. Um Like in my mind, I was

282
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: immediately like, oh, yeah, it's gonna be a yes, And

283
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: I started looking at like, maybe it's not maybe it's

284
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: not so easy. I don't know. I'll put that out

285
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: to Twitter and see see what the twitter verse thinks

286
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: about that. So it feels like a good place to

287
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: take a quick We'll come back and we'll give you

288
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: our lineups for the weekend. Next on the NFL Fantasy

289
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: Football Show, let's talk some championship weekend. UH. Let's look

290
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: at our DFS slate for the weekend, and we'll do

291
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: what we always do. We'll talk about our player with

292
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: paying up for high salary guy to avoid UH and

293
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: our value pick, and then later on in the show

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: will also give you our lineups UH for the weekend.

295
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: So it starts, we got two games on Sunday. We

296
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs and the Bengals. We got the Niners

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams. Side note, I saw something this morning

298
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: that says StubHub is anticipating that Niners Rams will be

299
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the most sold game on on the StubHub app like

300
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: in history. Apparently I saw part of that. Matt Stafford's

301
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: wife is like buying tickets off of that and giving

302
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: it to Rams fans who can't afford tickets to the game,

303
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: which I think it's pretty cool. But she's been big

304
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: on like this whole do not sell your tickets to

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: Niners fans, Like this is not the first time she's

306
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: doing this. I gotta say, like, is it gonna be

307
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: the most sold game? Even though the fact that the

308
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Rams like barred people outside of Los Angeles from buying tickets, right,

309
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: you can't buy tickets if you live outside of Los Angeles. Uh,

310
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, I know Rams fans, and you know, like

311
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned Matt Stafford's wife, Kara Henderson sneed Less. Sneed's

312
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: wife was very vocal on Twitter about Rams fans not

313
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: selling their tickets to Niners fans, And I keep saying

314
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: I said this last week too, or a couple of

315
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, like that. This is the point that there

316
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: are two things. One, there are a ton of Bay

317
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Area transplanted in Los Angeles again I will raise my

318
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: hand as one of them. And that the Rams left

319
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles for literally a generation. The Rams were going

320
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: for twenty years, so you had a whole generation of

321
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: kids who grew up and didn't have a local football team.

322
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: So a lot of them gravitated either to the Raiders

323
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: or the forty Niners because they were both still in

324
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: California at the time. I would assume some of them

325
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: trickled down to San Diego to see the Chargers, but

326
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem like a whole lot. So because

327
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: of that, you just have a lot of forty Niners

328
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: fans in Los Angeles because that's who they followed for

329
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: twenty years. So I understand the you know, the desire

330
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: to have it be in all Rams crowd. Um, I

331
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: think there's could be a lot of red in that

332
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: stadium Sunday. That's all I know. It's not a judgment

333
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: of all of l A. But there's like a sports

334
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: bar right down the block from me, and I'd never

335
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: see a bunch of Ram jerseys. But when the forty

336
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Niners play every week, my block gets covered in red jerseys.

337
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: And I was just like, they seem like the more

338
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: popular team. If I'm just being honest. Um, you know, like, look,

339
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Adam our own Adam rank Right was a Rams fan

340
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: for a really long time. Um really he was. I

341
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: mean he grew up and you know, growing up in

342
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: southern California, he was a Rams fan. If you ever

343
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: asked him to ask him the story about um, you know,

344
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: finding out when Eric Dickerson got traded while he was

345
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: out trick or treating wearing an Eric Dickerson jersey. I

346
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: thought about he was Bears all the way. No, he

347
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: went to the Bear because as he as he once

348
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: told me that the Rams you know, went out to

349
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, get a pack of cigarettes and then didn't

350
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: come back for many years. So so that sort of

351
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: transferred his love to to the Chicago Bears because of that.

352
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's talk about Let's let's start

353
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: with the Sunday slate and talk about the player on

354
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: that slate that you think is the most worth paying

355
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: up for. Kimmy, who you got? You're gonna love this one.

356
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: It is a San Francisco forty night or not a

357
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: Los Angeles him. It's Deebo Samuel Um And it was

358
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: so cute. The the awesome kid who was a part

359
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: of the Nickelodeon broadcast of that game a few weeks ago.

360
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, he did the postgame interview with him. He's like,

361
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: do you both do it all? Samuel, You're you're so

362
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: good and he was so excited talking about him, And

363
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of indicative of how we all

364
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: feel about deb and what he's been able to do. Um.

365
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: This season and in that offense, it's like he's not

366
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: just a wide receiver, he's a running back as well.

367
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 1: Like he he kind of is the utility nice player

368
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: that they have and that they use, and it's it's

369
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: it creates a situation where defenses don't know exactly how

370
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: to contain him because you also have the other pieces

371
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: of the forty niners. You also have a stud in

372
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: George Kittle Uh And even then, Debot is continually getting

373
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: the production. He's playing lights out and he is, you know,

374
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that San Francisco has it has

375
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: stayed competitive and have gotten as far as they have

376
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So I'm happy to pay up for

377
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: Debot uh this this coming Sunday and next season, his

378
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: stock is going to be absolutely through the work roof.

379
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: In terms of fantasy, I'm really curious where he's going

380
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: to get drafted next year in fantasy because you know,

381
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: obviously we see he's good, but some of this also

382
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: feels kind of like a weird outlier year that they're

383
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: using him so much as a running back, Like I

384
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: don't know what to what to make of it, but

385
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: but you're right, his stock is gonna be really high

386
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: next year. All right, Florida, who you got? I love

387
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: Debot and I also went with another water seaver here.

388
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: I went Jamaar Chase because one, he's just awesome. I mean,

389
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: the first rookie ever to have multiple hundred yard playoff games.

390
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: The last time they played the Chiefs, he went for

391
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: over two hundred and three touchdowns. That was one of

392
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: the best fantasy games a wide receiver has ever had

393
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: in the history of football. We know how great he is,

394
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: we know how good Joe Burrow is, we know the

395
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: connection they have the downfield report. Plus I think this

396
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: is gonna be a high scoring game. Uh. The Chiefs

397
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: offense is clicking on all cylinders right now. We know

398
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals are gonna have to put up points to

399
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: keep up with Mahomes and Tyreek Hill and Kelsey. So

400
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: I think that just leads to them taking a lot

401
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: of shots down field, and we know that's all going

402
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: to go to Jamaar Chase. To Higgins could get his

403
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: as well, but Jamaar Chases, uh, is the focal point

404
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: of that offense. And I think that you know, one

405
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: long catch pays off for him and he could have

406
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: multiple of those I'm old enough to remember when Jamar

407
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: Chase apparently couldn't play football and had no hands and

408
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: couldn't see, and you know, it was like like it

409
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: was seriously, I mean, it's like, it's amazing. It's amazing

410
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: that a guy who has skillets attached to the end

411
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: of his arms has been able to do so well.

412
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: So congrats to him. Probably a picture of catching the

413
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: ball with like like literally like dropping into a skillet

414
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: like whatever. Uh yeah, I like both of those. I'm

415
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: gonna oh, I'm gonna go with Travis Kelsey, And I

416
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: know he didn't have a great game when these teams

417
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: played earlier in the season. I think he just had

418
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: twenty five yards. He didn't have a touchdown, but it

419
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't a huge Travis Kelsey game. But throughout

420
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: the season the Bengals really have struggled against tight ends.

421
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: And yes, they did figure out how to slow down

422
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Kelsey that first time, but I also think Andy Reid

423
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Eric b enemy, they're gonna go back to the drawing

424
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: board and they're gonna see what the Bengals did against

425
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey and figure out how to get him open and

426
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: get him involved. Because I do, like you guys think

427
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a high scoring game. In order for

428
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: that to happen, though, the Chiefs are going to need

429
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: some contributions from Travis Kelsey. Uh. So, I think they're

430
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get him the ball. They're

431
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna find ways to get him out in space. Um.

432
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, they love that little shovel pass, especially down

433
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: near the goal line where they just kind of bring

434
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: him across and just kind of, you know, underhanded to him.

435
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: So maybe they try something like that, who knows, Maybe

436
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: even I don't know, maybe Byron Pringlish somebody throws him

437
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: a touchdown, who knows. But whatever, I think, I think

438
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: I think it's worth having him in your lineup, regardless

439
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: of what the price is on that on that flip side, uh,

440
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: the high salary player to avoid. When I saw you

441
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: write this down, Kenny, I was surprised. I'm surprised. I'm

442
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: surprised at myself. You gotta get a little spice in

443
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: here that you know I can't I can't be too

444
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: chalky with all my all my chief space. I'm saying

445
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: that I could make an argument that you could avoid

446
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill. I know you said, yeah, the game that

447
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey had when he played the Bengals back in

448
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Week seventeen wasn't great. But the same stood for Tyreek

449
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: Hill as well. I think he only had six catches

450
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: for something like forty yards. And it was interesting because

451
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: the first half of the game, the Chiefs were so

452
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: incredibly dominant, they were leading to seventeen, and then the

453
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: second half of that game, the Bengals defense really figured

454
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: out how to limit Tyreek Hill and how to limit

455
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and they held them to just three points.

456
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: And I think the Bengals are and I've said this

457
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: for a few weeks now, just to a lot of

458
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: different people, the Bengals have consistently been the number one

459
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: team that I, as a Chiefs fan, have been afraid of.

460
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: And I said that after seeing them the last few

461
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season. They have such a kind

462
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: of invigorated sense and identity of who they are and

463
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has really kind of given so much life

464
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: to that offense. But I also can't just point out

465
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: the offense and say it's great. Their defense has been

466
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: lights out this season as well, And I think you know,

467
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: understanding and looking I'm sorry Florial. Looking at the game

468
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Chiefs, if there's one thing

469
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: to to take away from that, you don't leave Tyree

470
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: Hill opening, don't leave Travis Kelsey open. And that's the

471
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: thing that lost the Bills the game. And if I'm

472
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: the de coordinator for the Bengals, are I'm locking in

473
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: on making sure that we replicate exactly what we did

474
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen so that Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey

475
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: are taken out. So I I could make the argument

476
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: that Tyree Hill is not the player I want to

477
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: go spend. You know, I think seven thousand dollars is

478
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: what he was allotted in DFS, you can make the

479
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: argument that I could potentially not be worth it. I

480
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: don't think that's that's crazy. I mean, considering the four

481
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: or five games leading up to last Sunday, he really

482
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: had been a non factor. And I don't know if

483
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: there's a heel injury or what it was that was

484
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: bothering him, but he really had been a non factor.

485
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't think it's wild to think

486
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: that maybe there are other other options UH to consider

487
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: their um so just as shocking as Kimmy's pick was yours.

488
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Floria also sort of blew my mind a little bit

489
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, minus Cooper Cup. And I know I

490
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: sound crazy saying that Cooper Cup is not worth paying

491
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: up for. I had to write the reason down because

492
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't forget and just be on

493
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: the pod and be like, yeah, Cooper Cup is for Like, No,

494
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is amazing. He's had two good games against

495
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. It has nothing to do with him.

496
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: It's just his price tag. Like he's twelve hundred dollars

497
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: more than any other player not named Patrick Mahomes. So

498
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: my thinking when I was tinkering with lineups was like

499
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: for this was like I could get Cooper Cup and

500
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: like a five thousand wide receiver maybe like Odell Beckham

501
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: or some like that, or for the same price, I

502
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: could get Jamaar Chase and Deebill Samuels. So for me,

503
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: it's just that I think the some of the parts

504
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: is a little bit better if you get away from

505
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: this super high price guy and go Because as good

506
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: as Cooper Cup is, I'm not sure he's better than

507
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: ste Bill Samuel and like over two grand better than

508
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. So for me, it was it was purely

509
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: the price tag. I can't say anything bad about Cooper Cup.

510
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: He's the best wide receiver this year, at least walking

511
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: the planet. Yeah, I mean that that makes sense. I

512
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: mean some of it is about flexibility right where where

513
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: where you can save to build all build up elsewhere

514
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: on the roster. So um, you know, and look when

515
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: when the Niners and Rams played at the end of

516
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the regular season, in the second half, Cup was not

517
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: really a factor. He he sort of lit them up

518
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: in the first half, and after halftime they made some

519
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: adjustments and you didn't really see too much from Cooper

520
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: Cup in that second half. We're bringing this splice here too, though,

521
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: I am, I am. I'm going with Patrick Mahomes. And

522
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: but it's let me explain, let mix, let me explain myself. Um,

523
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: it's a little bit. It's a little bit of the

524
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: same logic that Florio has. This isn't that you know,

525
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: I think you know Mahomes is going to somehow be

526
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: awful or that he's bad. Um, it's that I think

527
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: you can get some more flexibility in your roster if

528
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: you decide to. You know, I think it's eight dollars

529
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: difference I think between he and Joe Burrow, um, and

530
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: I think both these guys are gonna have really good games.

531
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: I would probably mean a little bit more towards Burrow

532
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: just because it allows me to kind of play around

533
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: elsewhere on my roster. So this isn't just like you

534
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: said with Cooper cup right, this isn't about saying that

535
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: you know this guy is going to be awful and

536
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: you should avoid him. It's more about, look, I think

537
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: there's somebody who can give you similar production at a

538
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: lower salary, uh and allow you to kind of, you know,

539
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: play around with some other places on your roster. So

540
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: there it is. That's my that's my reasoning there, all right,

541
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: all right, sweet, that gets us the value picks. Give

542
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: me who is yours mine's cam Acres? And I know

543
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: it could sound still incy and has He is the

544
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: lead running back for the Rams, but I think people

545
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: had some concerns he had a fumble and you know,

546
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: does that mean he's going to be on the bench.

547
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: Does that mean the Shan mcface gotta limit you know,

548
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: his carries and his opportunities. The thing is he's he's

549
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: been you know, known as the bell cow back for

550
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: for the Rams, and that's the world that they want

551
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: to utilize him in. And I think if they want

552
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 1: to win against the forty Niners, as electric as their

553
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: passing game is, they're going to have to have a

554
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: strong run game, and I think that runs through Cam Akers.

555
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: So he's been good and coming back from the injury,

556
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he's always been a dominant running

557
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: back and people were incredibly excited, especially Rams fans, when

558
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: he came back and was healthy enough to play. So

559
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stop him for being

560
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: in my fantasy lineup and and feeling like I got

561
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a value out of it as well.

562
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: At five thousand, I love that pick because, yeah, the

563
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: production wasn't there last week, but the volume was, and

564
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: like it was against the best defense against running backs.

565
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: So I love that Cam Akers picked Kimmy. I went

566
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: with the Ram as well. I went with Marcus is Well,

567
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: we're all kind of a Van stand at some point

568
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: this year, but uh, Van Jefferson at thirty nine hundred

569
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: and look, I know Van Jefferson hasn't as of late

570
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: ben what he was like in the middle of the season,

571
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: but my thinking is still at thirty nine hundred, he

572
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: is still there outside of Cooper Cup, their best deep threat.

573
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: So maybe they take a couple of shots down field

574
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: with him. It's a cheap price that allows you to

575
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 1: get some higher price players and at other positions. And

576
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: he's still I know he doesn't bring a safe floor,

577
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: but I do think he still brings a pretty high

578
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: ceiling because they're gonna take at least one deep shot

579
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: with him this game. If he catches that, then uh,

580
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a positive return on your investment. I mean,

581
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: that's my whole thing with Van Jefferson's why why which,

582
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: by the way, I feel like we should make t

583
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: shirts that say like Van Stand or like I'm a

584
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: Van Stand or something. Um. I mean, the reason I've

585
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: always liked him is just because it doesn't seem to

586
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 1: take him a ton of targets to necessarily put up

587
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: a good number. They will, they will take some shots

588
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 1: down the field, and if he you know, connects on

589
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: one or two of them, uh, they needs up having

590
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: a pretty good day. So I'm totally down with that.

591
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in that same game other side, though,

592
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: and go Brandon aiyuk Um, you know, and all the focus,

593
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: understandably is on Deebo Samuel. There's a lot of focus

594
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: on George Kittle um. But every once in a while

595
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: you just see Jimmy Garoppolo hit a Uk in the

596
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: middle of the field and he will make some plays happen.

597
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: And I think, I think, if so much attention is

598
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: going to be paid on those other pieces in the offense,

599
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for Ayuk to step up and

600
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: make some plays. Um, So we'll see. I mean, the

601
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: Niners have been spreading the ball around. Juwan Jennings has

602
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: become a thing. I think even uh, Travis Benjamin I

603
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: think might have even caught caught a couple of passes.

604
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: So they're spreading it around. But this feels like an

605
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: opportunity for Brandon Au to kind of remind us of

606
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: who we thought he could be, uh and maybe you know,

607
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: plant the seed in our heads for next draft season,

608
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: so we get overhyped again and you know, let somebody

609
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: else slip through the cracks, so we'll see. Um. Alright,

610
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: so we gave you some of our value picks guys

611
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: to avoid, etcetera, etcetera. Now I felt like it'd be

612
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: a good time to go through and just put together

613
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: a whole lineup and uh, you know, let you guys

614
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: know what we're thinking about when it comes to DFS

615
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: for this weekend. So Kimmy, you can do the honors

616
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: and go first with yours. Okay, Well, you talked to

617
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: me out of spending up and spending big on Patrick Mahomes,

618
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: So I went eight dollars cheaper, uh and got a

619
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: very frightening and swagging, incredible Joe Burrow for my quarterback,

620
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: my running backs. I decided to do my value pick

621
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: and cam Acres and obviously got to get a Kansas

622
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: City Chief and Clyde Edwards a laire. I listened to

623
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: what Florio said on the kind of Cooper cup front

624
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: and not wanting to go and spend huge on him

625
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: and instead get Jamaar Chase and Deebo Samuel as well

626
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: as oh b J. And then you know, I got

627
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: to give some IOLLA love with George Kittle for my

628
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: tight end, my flex spot, T Higgins and Chiefs Defense,

629
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: because come on, now, I gotta be chalky at something.

630
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: You gotta stick to your roots at his own point

631
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I get that, um the one I'm like,

632
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: that's uh, you and Jack McKinnon doing this thing how

633
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: you want there? Huh? You know I'm a creature, bad habit.

634
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: I just understand that I don't learn lessons. Well, so yeah, yeah,

635
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: h but thanks for that, little Dick Marcus. I appreciate it,

636
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: just more of a question, like Jack McKinnon has come

637
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, like him being a secret weapon, none

638
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: of us. Also the only chief I think that never

639
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: the underharent shovel past didn't work for like, it just

640
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: went through his hands and hit him, And I was like, yo,

641
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: that play has never failed for them. I don't think

642
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he has a pancake Hans who knows? Maybe? Al Right, Floryo,

643
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: what's what's your line up there? My lineup and Kimmy's

644
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: lineup are very very similar. I did pay up for

645
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes there because I think the Chiefs are gonna

646
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: ride this high all the way to another championship. Then

647
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: at the running back position, I have cam Akers just

648
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: like she does. I went with McKinnon, she went c

649
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: h So we're both taking a shot on the Chiefs backfield.

650
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: And then our receivers are the exact same. Jamaar Chase

651
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel Odell Beckham Jr. Odell, I don't think it's

652
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: been getting enough love for just how good he's been

653
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: playing for this Rams team in the playoffs. He's really

654
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: been a difference maker for them on offense. And the

655
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: other two we've already spoke about. They're awesome. My tight

656
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: end is also Travis Kelsey. I thought, uh, this was

657
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 1: a good week to to pay up for the tight end. Uh.

658
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: And then my flex I said, I like Van Jefferson.

659
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: Because I paid up for Kelsey, I needed to go

660
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: a little bit cheaper. So I went with him at

661
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: the flicks. And then my defense I went with the

662
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: only defense I could afford at that point, and that

663
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: was all right. Um yeah, I mean I I like

664
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: that lineup. Actually, um, and you're right you talk about

665
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: Odell being good. I actually I did a TikTok about

666
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: this like a week ago, like this has me back

667
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: in on him. Like last year, I didn't know what

668
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: to do about Odell, so I stayed away and like,

669
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: now this this might have me back in on him.

670
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think Baker watches and it's

671
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: like very salty, absolutely yeah, Like you know, he's like

672
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: where was this Odell and he's like, well, maybe because

673
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: you didn't get him the ball, but whatever, UM all right?

674
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: So mine, I, like I said, I decided to go

675
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow instead of my homes for this one.

676
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: So he's my quarterback. My running backs cam akers just

677
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: like you guys. I went with Eli Mitchell at my

678
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: other running back spot. I know he's listed as questionable,

679
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: we'll see, but I think he's on track to play

680
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: so that that should be all right. So he's my

681
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: other running back. Uh. Two of my wide receivers are

682
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: the same. I got Deebo Samuel, I've got Jamaar Chase

683
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: there my third wide receiver. Though I did go with

684
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Tyler boyd Uh. Maybe as an opportunity it's kind of

685
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: maybe save a little money, but also thinking that he

686
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: may get a couple of targets there. I know he's

687
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: maybe not as exciting as Jamaar Chase or Tee Higgins,

688
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: but I think he's steady and I think he gets

689
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: some work, so I made him my third wide receiver.

690
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: Did spend up for Travis Kelsey at my tight end position,

691
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: my flex. I was able to get Odell in at

692
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: the flex there, so I don't have him as a

693
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but I've got him as a flex I.

694
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: I I sort of wavered between he and Kelsey and

695
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: I just decided to go with O b J because

696
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: he really is playing really well right now. And then

697
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: rounding it out with my defense as the forty niners

698
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: because again, that fit nicely right into the slot that

699
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: I had available left defensively. So, um, a lot of similarities.

700
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: I guess that's not really a surprise, especially with it's

701
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: only two games on the slate, but uh yeah, it

702
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: should be fun. Should be a whole lot of fun there. Um.

703
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: So last week give me this was this is a

704
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: new thing for me. But Floria was talking about a

705
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: postseason fantasy format which is one and done. So it's

706
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: a little bit like like a survivor league when you

707
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: pick a lineup, but you can only use that player

708
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: one time. Um. So, so you've made it all the

709
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: way to so you've made it a championship weekend now, Floria,

710
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: so what what lineup did you put together for this week?

711
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: My team is? I started off so hot Week one.

712
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: I had so many Bengals in there. I was, I

713
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: told you coming into that Monday night game, I was

714
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: in first place and then it's just been going down.

715
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: And last week I trusted the Packers that didn't go well.

716
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm saving my Chiefs for the super Bowl week. So

717
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: this week my lineup is Matt Stafford, Elijah Mitchell. I

718
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: love Jack McKinnon in there because I wanted to get

719
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: at least one Chief this week, O'Dell Brandon, Aiyuk Tyler

720
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: Boyd because I used literally every other Bengal already, and

721
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: then George Kittles, so it's uh and I've already used

722
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: Kelsey too, so now I'm using Kiddles. So like my

723
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: tight end spot next week might be very gross, but

724
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm saving Hill and Mahomes and c and stuff like

725
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: that for for the super Bowl week. But seriously, what

726
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm kicking myself for going with the

727
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: Packers last week and not one of Mahomes or Alan.

728
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: My thinking was that game could go either way, and

729
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: I want to be able to have whichever one advances,

730
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: And uh, I kind of hate myself for doing that. Yeah,

731
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean you know, so you sort of Yeah, first kid,

732
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: you end up missing the chance that you missed the

733
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: chance to have Josh Allen at some point too, unfortunately.

734
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but I like this lineup. I think

735
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: it's a good one. And and again, if the Chiefs advance, uh,

736
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: and you have your run of the of the lot

737
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: at that point, if the Bengals advance, I'm on, you're done, yeah,

738
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: because you've you've you've already you've already burned Burrow and

739
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: all the receivers. If you burned Mixing two, did you

740
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: use them already? I would have the zama available from them.

741
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: And that's so ah, So I guess you're a Chiefs

742
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: stand this weekend. So um, as we wrap this thing up,

743
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just do some picks, uh, Floria, who

744
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: who do you have in the a f C and NFC?

745
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: So in the a f C, I'm going with the Chiefs.

746
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: I think that they continue to ride this high that

747
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: they're on. Uh. I think they're just still the best

748
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: team in football. And as much as I like Burrow

749
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: in the Bengals, I think what happened to the Bills

750
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: last year is gonna happen to them kind of like

751
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: they're really good. The future is very bright, but I

752
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna come up just short of this measuring

753
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: stick because I think the Chiefs are the measuring stick

754
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: for the a f C and for the whole NFL.

755
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: Right now and then in the NFC, I'm going with

756
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: the Rams. I know that Kyle Shanahan has owned Sean

757
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: McVeigh the last few years, but I think the Rams

758
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: are just the more talented team. I think their home

759
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: with a chance to host a super Bowl in their

760
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: hometown city. So I think after eliminating Tom Brady, Stafford

761
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: pulls a Tom Brady and gets the super Bowl in

762
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: his hometown. All right, Uh, Kimmy, I'm gonna ask you.

763
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: I know who you're gonna pick in the What if

764
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: I surprised you and didn't pick Kansas City? You could,

765
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting you to. Please go ahead. Jimmy does

766
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: love Yeah, No, I do love Joe Burrow. I I

767
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: do have a very strong love for Joe Burrow and

768
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: an excitement to watch him play in the league for

769
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: years to come. But no, obviously good pay in Kansas City,

770
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: My Kansas City Chiefs against Cincinnati, and then I'm gonna agree.

771
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: I think Florio we're in lockstep here. I think the

772
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: Rams are gonna get it done at home over the

773
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners, and we said they were so

774
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: incredibly aggressive this entire season and aggressive about getting Odell

775
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Aggressive about getting Von Miller, and they said,

776
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: they're not playing for the future, the playing for this season.

777
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: They're playing for the super Bowl and they want to

778
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: they want to play a home super Bowl at so far,

779
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: so I think it'll be Rams Chiefs. Um. So, I'm

780
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: really torn on this because at the beginning of the

781
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: season Rams Chiefs was my prediction for the Super Bowl.

782
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: I am gonna take the Chiefs because I think they

783
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: will iron out whatever whatever happened a couple of weeks

784
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: ago against Cincinnati, and I think they'll figure out a

785
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: way to win, so they will get back. This is

786
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: where I'm torn because the last couple of weeks I

787
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: have actually picked against the forty Niners and they've won.

788
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: So now I feel like I can't but I actually

789
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: feel like they can win. I believe that they can

790
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: win this week against the Rams. So I am gonna

791
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: go against my recent trend. I'm gonna pick the forty Niners.

792
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: I think they figure out a way, uh to to

793
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: keep this thing rolling against Sean McVeigh and we get

794
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: a rematch of a few years ago between the Chiefs

795
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: and the forty Niners in the Super Bowl. The Rams

796
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: get denied the chance to play Super Bowl in their

797
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: home stadium. I think it also would have been the

798
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: first time that a team will host a conference championship

799
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl, like that's never happened before. Um,

800
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: so the Niners may be busting up a little bit

801
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: of history right here. Um. Last thing, I put this

802
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: out on Twitter and it's only been up for at

803
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: this maybe about ten minutes, but a hundred nine votes

804
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: about is Ben Roethlisberger Fantasy Hall of Famer? Wait, let

805
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: me refresh it and make sure we are up to date.

806
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: Here two hundred and three votes and uh it's a

807
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: slight edge for no. Um fifty one fifty one point

808
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: seven percent to forty eight point three percent. So just

809
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: just still were two d votes and just about ten minutes. Um,

810
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: and uh it is lean no for Ben Roethlisberger being

811
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: a Fantasy Hall of Famer. I just went and voted
