You've got a victory this week, huh, And 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: you're ahead of me by one game because you lost 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: up and I'm coming for you. You better beats out 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: because I took down the undefeated defending champ of our 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: fantasy league, Adam Rank. None of you guys could get 20 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: I had to do it all right. Here we go 21 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: usurping authority from Akbar Bajavili. It's me and Suey Soup sipters, 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: and I did it because of Matt Forte in this 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: contest to night, there's Aaron Rodgers their tread in Marshall 24 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: Packers opening drive. Let's get a look at it. Here's 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: third down and this is the play of the game. 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: Unfortunately Sack hurts his non throwing shoulder on the play 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: and you get a glimpse here after Shane McClellan out 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: of voice, he state did the damage, had three sacks 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: on the night. By the way, Rodgers making his way 30 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: to that locker room. So let's get to the ensuing possession. 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: That would be the Bears on a third and six here, 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: QB who Josh McCown. That's right way to get out 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of pressure aslutely in a beautiful pass. Let your wide 34 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: receiver make a play. That's Brandon Marshall's seven three Bears 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: numbers not unfamiliar to Marshal this season in many seasons 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: passed now second quarter McCown to Matt Forte, Hey, look 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: you have Matt Forte on your team. That music from 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: the time performance by fort with seventeen ten and a 39 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: half a half. Now, how about Eddie Lacey front runner 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: for your offensive Rookie of the year. Fifty six yards 41 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: just one more yards fas owner. Will be honest, you 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: gotta be proud if you drafted him as a fan. 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: O got about it. He has come on as of 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: late and you know what, here you go. You only 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: had to wait one play Eddie Lacey, get you the 46 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: touchdown one d one points to go with a hunter 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: fifty yards touch on. That's how we got to twenty one. There, 48 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: Now we get late third quarter, second in goal. Did 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: you keep al Shan Jeffery or was he just a 50 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: bye week replacements? Whatever? You can't forget about the yeofil 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: that's a big guy, has a lot of range, tall 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's a target in the red zone most definitely. 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: And you saw what the fade. They're a great play 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: cutler Rogers and sweats Josh McCown not Bears win twenty 55 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and here is a look at the box score your highlights. 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: McCown by the way, second consecutive game in injury duty, 57 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: filling it for Jake and two touchdowns. Hey, if you 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: had a quarterback on a by like Peyton Manny McCown 59 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: would not have been a bad play here as you 60 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: see the twenty point eight eight points, Matt Forte, your 61 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: big performer twenty three point nine. I mean, look, fantasy 62 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: points are plenty for the Bears, including those eight for 63 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: the defense. So you see the top fantasy scorers, and 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: you saw the play by Shane McClellan and Aaron Rodgers. 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: He's going into the locker room there, and the early 66 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: reports are that he does have a break, a small 67 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: break in his collar bone. Bad news for Aaron Rodgers owners, 68 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: bad news for those receivers, but most importantly, bad news 69 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: for the Packers based on what uh Seneca Wallace was 70 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: able to accomplish or not accomplish out there. And you 71 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: wonder what they're gonna do moving forward with that quarterback position, 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: bar if they're going to go out and maybe bring 73 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Matt Flynn back or go on since young who played 74 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: very well for them in the preseason and get you 75 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: all that value from Jordie Nelson, from Eddie Lacy and 76 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: James starrs so they're not stacking the box. And of 77 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: course James Jones who returned last night but didn't do 78 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: a whole lot. Yeah, he wasn't able to do a 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: whole lot, and that's because they didn't have the quarterback 80 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: to get him that deep ball. But when you think 81 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: about that, it's very hard to replace that type of 82 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: caliber Seneca Wallace and throwing the ball. It means they're 83 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna rely heavily on Eddie Lacey to continue to produce. 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: So let's let's get to Eddie Lacey then, and what 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: the Green Bay offense looks like now A lot of 86 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: this a product of that Bears defense down to starting 87 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: tackles down two linebackers and the middle of the field 88 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: was wide open for the Packers all night long. Still 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: don't want to take away from Eddie Lacey because this 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: is his fourth consecutive Big Time game. Yeah, it really was, 91 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: and his tenacious run has been, I mean the staple 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: of this this offense really when you think about it 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: before the history, the Packers hadn't had that since a 94 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: Mon Green and the way he's coming out and playing 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: as a young rookies impressive. And then you bring Seneca 96 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Wallace in there, Cyeneca Wallace, a more mobile quarterback. All 97 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, now they have to play and be 98 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: honest with the defense. And to Brandon Marshall here again, 99 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: any eleaitewide receiver certainly belongs in the top five. Where 100 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: we don't know Jay Cutler going to be. Next week 101 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: they will be playing the Detroit Lions, and you know, 102 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 1: more options. I mean, that's really what we're talking about 103 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: with Alshon Jeffrey, with Mark Tellis Bennett, with Matt Forte 104 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: out of the backfield, and specifically with Mark Trustman calling 105 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: the plays. Even though the targets are down, Brandon Marshall's 106 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: production is still there. Yeah, he's a big body wide 107 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: receive it. You cannot deny him. If you're a fantasy 108 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: owner of Marshall, that's it. You got him. And speaking 109 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: of Mark Trustman, God bless him, say Bears fans, because 110 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: Matt Forte is one of the best backs in the 111 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. He can catch balls out of the backfield. 112 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: He trusted him on that fourth and one, which turned 113 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: out to be the play of the game. As they 114 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: elongated that drive. He trusted him in the goal line. Forte, 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: I mean a bard looks like he could end up 116 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: as a top five, top three running back in the 117 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: football and fantasy football this season. He could. I mean, 118 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: this offense the way it produces right now, with Mark trusting, 119 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna give him the dump off. They're gonna give 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: him up in those little out routes. I mean, he's 121 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: going to be able to go out there and produce 122 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: for this offense. I love my Forte. Yeah, I'm trying 123 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: to figure out what his value might be in terms 124 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: of who you know. I bet you you couldn't trick 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: him all Charles for Matt Forte. Could you get him 126 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: for Lashawn McCoy? Would you want him? I'm just thinking 127 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: about maneuver because you look at the Bears playoffs schedule, 128 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: lock Bar, Dallas, Cleveland, Philadelia, and Lashawn McCoy may not 129 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: be a bad move. Yeah. So there you go. Time 130 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: for our Monday Nightmare that's presented by Call of Duty Ghosts, 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: available in stores through day. If you were counting on 132 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: a big game from Jordy Nelson, Akbar, you were seriously 133 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: disappointed for reception sixty seven yards. And I should know 134 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: because Adam Rank had him on his undefeated team going 135 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: up against me, and I had a map for You've 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: benefited from it. But Jordy Nelson really couldn't get off 137 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: because they didn't have the same offense is a totally 138 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: different play calling now that you have a cynical Wallace 139 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: in the game. And so who got the raw into 140 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: that It was Jordy Nelson. Yeah, certainly. The one thing 141 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: that is encouraging for Jordy Nelson owners is there was 142 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: not a lot of double coverage out there the Bears defense, 143 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: although it is a bunch of maligned right now because 144 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: of injuries, there were passes to be made, their receptions 145 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: to be made for Jordy Nelson, and you assume they'll 146 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: still be there moving forward. And remember you can also 147 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: check out our Adam Ranks on Day Nightmare column every 148 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: Tuesday at NFL dot com slash Monday Nightmare. Now let's 149 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: get you caught up on all the day's latest news 150 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: with our latest headlines. Gentlemen, thank you. We start with 151 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: other Bears news. Josh McCown's successful rain as the Bear 152 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: starter may have already come to a close. ESPNS Chris 153 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Mortenson reported last night that Jay Cutler is targeting a 154 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: week ten returned to the lineup. Michael Fabriano. Owners must 155 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: be very excited about this. This is great news. Although 156 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: McCown was very, very good last night against the Green 157 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Now, Ja Color has been dropped in a 158 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 1: lot of leagues because people were expecting him to miss 159 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: right around a month. So check your waiver wire if 160 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Color is available, grab mouth. All right, another quarterback situation 161 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: to get to with the Bills. EJ. Manual cleared to play, 162 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: still up in the air. If he'll start what a 163 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: fantasy owners do, well, Clearly it's an upgrade over Jeff Tool, 164 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: But then again, maybe you're an upgrade over Jeff Tool 165 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: throwing that football, Molly. The fact of the matter here 166 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: is that this is not a big decision from a 167 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. Manuel is on the waiver wire in most leagues. 168 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: He's going to stay on the waiver wire in most leagues. Sure, 169 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: it's good news for Stevie Johnson, the wide receivers and 170 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: the running backs. But it's not like EJ. Manuel is 171 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, for example. He's still a rookie quarterback who's 172 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: still learning the NFL game. Yeah, five tds and three 173 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: picks and four full games before heading into this injury. 174 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: Vikings tighten Kyle Rudolph has a broken foot and we'll 175 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: miss about a month of action. FABS. If you're someone 176 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: who's been starting routoff at tight end. What are you 177 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna do now to replace him? Pick up Timothy right 178 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: off of the waiver wire. Garrett Graham's got a great 179 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: matchup this week for the Houston Texans. He's another player 180 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: to potentially pick up in deeper league. Zach Ertz has 181 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: a really good matchup for the Philadelphia Eagles. John Carlson 182 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: will move into the starting role for the Vikings. I 183 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: don't see him being much of a fantasy option. Yeah, 184 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: not a fantasy factor. Their forty Niners wide receiver Mario 185 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: Manningham has been activated from the pub list and should 186 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: be ready to go for the Niners match up against 187 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: the Panthers in Week ten. Is he worth a pickup 188 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: coming off in a c L. I would say no. 189 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: He's sort of a sit back and wait and see 190 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: what happens. This is good move. Good news for con 191 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: Kaepernick though, because now he actually has another option besides 192 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: Vernon Davis and Kwon Bolden in that past atten because 193 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams and John Baldwin not doing much not alright. 194 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says the team is not 195 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: counting on wide receiver Percy Harvin making his Seahawks debut 196 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: in Week ten, calling Harvard day to day as he 197 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: continues to work his way back from hip surgery. If 198 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: you have Harvard on your roster and are waiting to 199 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: play him, what do you do in the meantime? Continue 200 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: the waiting game. I would not be shocked if the 201 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks waited until after their Week twelve by to start 202 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: playing Percy Harvan. But even then, that's Week thirteen. That's 203 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: the final game in most fantasy regular seasons. Then you 204 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: have Percy for the duration of the playoffs. Hold onto him, 205 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: own him, and hang tight because winter is coming, and 206 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: you know for a segment later on that you don't 207 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: want to miss, all right, Michael. Later on today we'll 208 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: be joined by Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice 209 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: to get the ten players he has as the top 210 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: of his pro A board FABS. If you're drafting a 211 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: team right now Fantasy style, who would your top ten pixby? Well, 212 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning has got to be at the top of 213 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: this list. One of the greatest seasons any quarterback has 214 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: ever had in the history of the National Football League. 215 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: And you know I'm a Fantasy owner right, because I'm 216 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: going all offense. Forget about the defenders. They don't even 217 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: play defense in the Pro Bowl. I want offensive guys. 218 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: So you're looking at Jamal Charles and Adrian Peterson, Megatron, 219 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant, Rob Gronkowski, who I think is going to 220 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: be one of the elite tight ends both for the 221 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: NFL and for fantasy football once this season is all 222 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: said and done. Right now, he's only had a few 223 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: games owners built. By then they'll be gold growing up. 224 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: Gronk a good read, you know, Speaking of offense. Coming 225 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: up later, we'll have the go Jerry Rice in studio 226 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: to give his take on your top ten girls of 227 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 1: all time. One of our experts earned our Coach of 228 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: the Week owners by starting Zach Stacy at running back. 229 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: See which big name running back keep bench and why 230 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: you should follow suit Next week, plus a players return 231 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: from major offseason injuries, which ones deserve a roster spot 232 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: and which should be left on the waiver while we'll 233 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: tell you as NFL Fantasy Live continues. You know what 234 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: that theme music is for? That is for Fantasy Coach 235 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: of the Week presented by Lenovo. It's for a winner. 236 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: This week. The prestigious honor goes to Mr Michael Fabriano. 237 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: You made a pretty bold move at running back, sitting 238 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: a first round pick for a rookie fabs. I did 239 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: well Arian Foster and that hamstring injury just really scared me. 240 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: So I went Zack Stacey because he has been one 241 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: of the hottest running backs in all of fantasy lands. Well, 242 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: it certainly paid off. Let's take a look at your matchup. 243 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: You went head to head against Dave Damn a check 244 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: and uh, I started Tom Brady. I didn't like it 245 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: until the game was over and he had thirty three points. 246 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: Then I was pretty happy with it. Yeah, looks it 247 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: looks like he did all right there. One thirty two 248 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: to one oh three paid well. All right, Let's talk 249 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: about Stacy though, had a huge day seventy eight yards 250 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: and two t ds. He has been one of the 251 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: best waiver wire pickups in fantasy football. With Sam Bradford 252 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: out for the season, you could tell the Jeff Fisher 253 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: has now built this offense around Stacy. He is the centerpiece. 254 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: And dare I say a guy who was on the 255 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: waiver wire five or six weeks ago is now pretty 256 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: much a must start and offense, he leaves on the 257 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: other side of things. Though you bench Daryan Foster. He 258 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: suffered a back injury in the Texas First Series Sunday Night. 259 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Foster scares me right now because he has the hamstring 260 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: and then he had the back, and he's had four 261 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: touches combined in his last two games, and I was 262 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: worried about exactly what happened happening to me. He's active, 263 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: he hurts himself early, he reaggravates something and he's out 264 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: and he doesn't give me any production. And right now, 265 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: if you have Verrian Foster, you have to own Ben 266 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: Tape as a handcuff. Let me America in on a 267 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: secret facts. You've been known to offer a quarter on 268 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: a dollar. You manage Goodwin a couple of guys. I 269 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: would not say that. I don't agree with Hoodwayne. You 270 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: I think drinking. Let's get to your first trade here 271 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: with Jason. Okay, tell me why it was in a 272 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: hoodwink here, and what you did is Jason received Harry 273 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: Douglas and hockey knicks and you got Giovanni Bernard worked out. Okay, 274 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: if you saw him on Thursday Night Football here in 275 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: NFL Network, I have a lot of good wide receivers. 276 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: I actually offered him Douglass for Bernard straight up, because 277 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: Bernard had two bad weeks in a row. He said, 278 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: if you throw in Hicki Nicks, I'll do the deal. 279 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: There's no hoodwink there. Giovanni Bernard is the guy that 280 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: I love. I love this kid, I love this matchup 281 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: last week, and I love Italian going forward. The Italian 282 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: first name is that do you think he's a talet? 283 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is I needed running 284 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: back to death because Arian Foster is being a question 285 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: mark right now. So I added it, and luckily it 286 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: was in a week when he had a great match 287 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: up against the Miami Dolts. Worked out all right for you, kids, 288 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: But you have death because you have Doug Martin on 289 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: your bench. Yeah, Doug Martin was actually dropped in the league. 290 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: So I grabbed him and I'm waiting to see what 291 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: happens because if he's able to come back, even if 292 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: it's during the Fantasy playoffs, that's gonna help me in Again, 293 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: it's for depth purposes. I'll keep him until I hear 294 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: he is definitively out for the Sea. Smart smart man 295 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: always monitoring those waivers. You have to do it all right, 296 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: and that's what makes you Minovo Coach of the Week 297 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: gets stuff.

Still some bye week 319 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: issues for a lot of fantasy players out there. These 320 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: your top ten fantasy quarterbacks. You see Drew Brees there 321 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: on the top, followed by Peyton Manning who is heading 322 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: out there to San Diego, Matt Stafford taking on the 323 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Bears coming off a short week and the Monday nighter. 324 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: But why don't we focus on that numbers number five 325 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: right there, Philip Rivers hosting the Denver Broncos. Well, yeah, 326 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: he's in that number five is a bout of course, 327 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers I had to move him out of the 328 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: number one by Drew Brees moves up. But I really 329 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers when you look at the type of 330 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: football that he's been playing. He's been on the point. 331 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look at it, seventy two point to completion 332 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: rate this season. That's the best in the NFL. So 333 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: that means he's finding his wide receivers, those guys are 334 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: getting the end zone and he's scoring. So you look 335 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: at Philip Rivers. We didn't think that coming into this 336 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: fantasy season that he was going to be one of 337 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: those guys. I have him my top five going against Denver. 338 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: Little point, counterpoint. I'll be calling that game. Actually, ok Bar, 339 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: I did the Redskins Broncos game. It was the first 340 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: game that Von Miller Wesley Woodyard were both in the 341 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: linebacking corps, and the pressure was substantial. Robert Griffin the third. 342 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: So I'd be a little worried about Philip Rivers because 343 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: that Bronco defense looked a lot more formidable than it 344 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: was earlier in the seas well. I'll say this the 345 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: easy answer to that, when you apply pressures you want 346 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to dump off. Who's gonna be there for the dump 347 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: off is gonna be Danny Woodhid to be able to 348 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: make things happen. So there, that's what I'm talking about. 349 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Bonus analysis from Akbar. I'll quickly mention I didn't see 350 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: Jake Locker in there. He's playing the Jags. You saw 351 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: what Colin Kaepernack could do against them as a dual threat. 352 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: I like that matchup. I'd think very hard about Jake Locker. 353 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: I just don't know who I would take out of 354 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: my top titles. All right, here we go your top 355 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: ten running backs, akbar, No surprise, Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch 356 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: at the top. You see Lashawn McCoy taken on Green Bay, 357 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: who had serious issues trying to slow down Matt Forte 358 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: last night, even with Josh McCown at the quarterback position. 359 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: But speaking of those Titans taken on the jack She 360 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: got Chris Johnson in your top ten? Yeah, I do. 361 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: And you know, let me give a big shout out 362 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: to number nine there in that list is Zach Stacy. 363 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: He has been phenomenal. He deserves to be in the 364 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: top ten. I want to look at you, uh, you know, 365 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. The first quarter of the season was disappointing, 366 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: but in the second quarter of the season he has 367 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: been strong. Fourteen plus Fantasy points in three of the 368 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: last four games. He's coming off of a twenty nine 369 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: point game against the Rams. I think that he's gonna 370 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: take that momentum take it into the Jacksonville Jaguars, who 371 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: cannot stop the run. Look for this kid to be 372 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: explosive in this game. Again, a bar, I will point 373 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: out a glaring omission in your top ten Frank Gore. 374 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: I know that Carolina defense is stout in the front seven. However, 375 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: you've seen what Greg Roman has done with this that 376 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: the San Francisco offense, and that is Gore, Gore, and 377 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: then a lot more. Gore his last three games nineteen 378 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: carries two touchdowns in two of the three, and I 379 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: suspect we'll see a whole lot of number twenty one 380 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: this coming a week. Well, no doubt about it. You 381 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: cannot deny Rank Gore. But when I look at star 382 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: Low to lay and the defensive front, you they have 383 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: they have at this Caroline defensive on tell him they've 384 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: been impressive. And of course it gives and allow Luke 385 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: Keikley to be able to flow over the top. There's 386 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: nothing more than a linebacker loves than to have a 387 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: guy who can clog up the middle so they can 388 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: flow and stop the run. And that's why Frank Moore 389 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: didn't make that top. We'll see who's right, Okay, we'll 390 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: see all right. Let's get to the wide receiver position, 391 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: and you got I mean, obviously Calvin Johnson, des Bryant, 392 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, Jordy Nelson at number four, even though we 393 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: don't know who the quarterback is gonna be with Aaron 394 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: Rodgers out with that collar bone situation, a J. Green 395 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: basically usual suspects. The one thing that jumps out of 396 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: me of all the Bronco receivers. That's right, you go 397 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: with the slat guy. Yeah, I went. Well, he's got 398 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: seven two targets this season. He leads the team, and 399 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: that's nine plus fantasy points in each game this season. 400 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: When you look at his track record, he scored a 401 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: touchdown in every game except for one. Now, when you 402 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: go to the outside, you see Eric Decker and the 403 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: Mary's Thomas. What are they doing to those guys. They're 404 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: showing a lot of coverage attention to these guys, and 405 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: so they've had four games where they have not scored 406 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: touchdowns and if not produced big points. You think back 407 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: to that Jacksonville Jaguar games. Both guys were held under 408 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: six or seven points. I mean, so when you think 409 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: about that, you can go, wow, how against the Jacksonville 410 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: Jaguar is a team that they're supposed to be to 411 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: score about on. They didn't get the outside there. You 412 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: want to look at the outside guys, here's your tight ends. 413 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez at number seven. I don't like a bar, 414 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: why do you? Well? I love Tony Gonzalez. He's going 415 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: up against the Seattle Seahawks. I know it's the the 416 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: legion of boom, but I tell you a guy who 417 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: are more impressed with Jordan's Read. Jordan Read has been 418 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: impressive this season. When you look at twenty eight targets 419 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: in the last three games, He's got thirty eight receptions 420 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: this season at second on the team. So there's Garson 421 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: and then there's Red and so you know that r 422 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: G three is loving that. I mean, look at the 423 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: Roup Cities were just right there, very close to the 424 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: pocket to where he can get to Thursday night football 425 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: against the Vikings. People in the Redskins organization saying the 426 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: most talented offensive players save r G three on that team. 427 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: All right, Still to come, Week ten's top ten Waiver 428 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: Wire targets are coming up.

Period period end of conversation. In our Fantasy Live. 454 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Studios on our Fantasy Live said it's Jerry Rice. Jerry, 455 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time out. How are you? Thanks 456 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: for having me? I appreciate it. Well, we see the 457 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: highlights and uh, we're gonna get to that magical season 458 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: of But but really more interesting is the three years span. 459 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: Everybody focuses on the one year, but when you can 460 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: put together three years of hud yards plus touchdowns, that 461 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: to me is more impressive. Does stand out to you 462 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: or is it kind of that stretch of time? You know? 463 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: I really think it was that stretch because I wanted 464 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: to get better and I kept pushing myself and I 465 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: never got complacent. So if I had an awesome year, 466 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: I wanted to come back the next year and I 467 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: wanted to have a better season. So I think that 468 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: was that motivation to just keep me going. Yeah, and 469 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: when you talk about a receiver, of course, you talk 470 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: about the quarterback, the offensive line, the running game. Get 471 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: us an idea of the chemistry on those teams, just 472 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: just all facets of the offense. I think offensive wise 473 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: is like doing a dance. You know. Joe Montana, he 474 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: knew my airy move. He knew when I was getting 475 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: ready to come out of a cut, and I knew 476 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: that the ball it was going to be halfway towards me. 477 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: So now all I have to do is just make 478 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: that turn and make that catch. So it's like repetition wise, 479 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: you do it over and over again. And when you 480 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: see those incredible plays on the football field, we have 481 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: done those plays over and over during the week during practice. Well, 482 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: it was it kind of like the Apostle Dope dance, 483 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: that kind of dance, that the type of rhythm that 484 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: you guys had the Apostle Dope blaze. Yes it is, 485 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: that is really that type of dance. But also it's 486 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: you got to have that killer instinct, and I think 487 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: we had that with the San Francisco forty Niners and 488 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: all the great players that that we had on that team. 489 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: The fantasy owners who don't go back to when you 490 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: were the best wide receiver in the land, you're kind 491 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: of like Calvin Johnson is right now. Calvin Johnson is 492 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: the only guy in fantasy that you draft in the 493 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: first round as a wide receiver. Back in the day, 494 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice is the only wide receiver who warranted a 495 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: first round pick. And people might not know this, but 496 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: Jerry had the best fantasy season of all time at 497 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: the wide receiver spot. And it wasn't the year you 498 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 1: had twenty two touchdowns. It was a year he had 499 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: over receiving yards. Really, you told me something I didn't know. 500 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: You are you are as you are a fantasy legend. 501 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: Ye season, two hundred eighty four fantasy points led the NFL, 502 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: and that does not happen often with wide receivers. When 503 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: it comes to fantasy football, it's typically a quarterback or 504 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: maybe a running back that has a standout season. Fast, 505 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: but you know, there's a very special year, unbelievable. And 506 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: also the year Randy Moss had his twenty three touchdowns, 507 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: he was close. You're still the land though. Yeah, But 508 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: I think with a situation like that, everything got a 509 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: factory in you know, the your teammates, uh, the type 510 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: of season that those guys are having, and for me 511 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: to put up numbers like that, you know, the ball 512 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: is coming my way a lot, and all I had 513 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: to do just make plays and catch the football, get 514 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: into the end zone and just make and give all 515 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: the credit to those guys. You know, we always hear 516 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: like sports or circumstantial, but but specifically football you know, 517 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: where you play your high school football, where you go 518 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: to school, what team you're drafted by the system that 519 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: they're lane. Give us an idea of the start, because 520 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: because look, I'm a mascot guy, I think the Delta 521 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: Devil might be one of the best looking mascots out there. 522 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: How important was that start for you? What did that 523 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: do for you? Just mentally the foundation that it built 524 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: Going to the NFL. You know, I think going to 525 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: Missisippi Valley State University, and I got letters from all 526 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: the major schools, but no one sent anyone out to 527 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: meet with me face to face. Then this coach came 528 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: out from Mississippi Valor State, and I had the opportunity, 529 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: looked this guy in his eyes and said, hey, look 530 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna do some great things at Mississippi Valley State University. 531 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: Just come there. And at that time, Mississippi State they 532 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: were running the wishbone a lot of teams. They were 533 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: running the ball more than throwing the ball. And I 534 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: felt like it was the perfect opportunity for me, and 535 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: I went to Missisippi Valley and after that everything else's history. 536 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: But when I came into the NFL, guys, I had 537 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: a lot of adversity because I was dropping football's. Then 538 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the media got on me, saying, well, 539 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: you know this guy, you drafted this guy on this small, 540 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: predominant black school. Uh, it's no way he's going to 541 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: be able to survive in the NFL. And I had 542 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: to fight through the adversity. It made me a better 543 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: individual and I was able to go out there next cell, 544 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, And it was because of that greatness. That's 545 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: the same type of greatness I saw when I came 546 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: into the league in two thousand three. I was young 547 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: and bright eyed, and I'll never forget walking into that 548 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: Raider's locker room and I'm gonna, oh, my goodness, that's 549 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. Is I mean, not only from watching TV 550 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: and playing on tech Mobile, I said, this is the man. 551 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: And I just watched how he walked, how he got 552 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: into his car, that Ferrari of York, and I'm just like, 553 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that's Jerry Rice. And I remember it 554 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: was right after we we had lost to the Indianapolis 555 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: Colts and we came back and it we had that 556 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: Wednesday practice and it was his birthday, October thirteenth, and 557 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: I was going man like, and I called my dad 558 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: and he has the Nigerian accident, he says. I said, Dad, 559 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: it's Jerry rice birthday. What should I get him? He said, son, 560 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: you know what this you're supposed to do in the 561 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: Nigerian culture. You want to on a greatness with the goat. 562 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: And I said, well, Dad, do you know he's the 563 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: greatest of all time? Immediately I called some people out 564 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: there that had a goat farm in Fresno, California. I 565 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: had them bring in a goat. You remember that coming 566 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: off the practice field and here comes us going like 567 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: ers like, what is this on my happy birthday? Man? 568 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: Happy birthday? The greatest of all times? And I'll never 569 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: forget that. I don't know where that goat is now. 570 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: I should have kept them. And I'm looking at this 571 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: and I'm setting myself a goat a goat? So I mean, 572 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: what's the meaning of a goat? Then you explained it 573 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: to me. Then I understood. But I have never thought 574 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: of myself as being the greatest of all time. But 575 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think because of my teammates and and 576 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: and the practice that we put in and the execution 577 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: on the football field. Uh, they gave me that title, 578 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: and there it is. And I also got to go, 579 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: and you were still years old. You were still putting 580 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: it in my fantasy team when he blew up when 581 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: he was with the Oakland Raiders, which was fantastic. Was great. So, 582 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: speaking of fantasy teams, we got a Pro Bowl roster 583 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: that you gotta build, and we're halfway through the season 584 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: and fans can vote by going to NFL dot com 585 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: slash Pro Bowl Ballot. So let's get a look here 586 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: at the Jerry Rice, I guess kind of mock draft 587 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: or the list that we're talking about the players that 588 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: you're interested in drafting. But first you're going up against 589 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: one of our own here at NFL Network, Dion Sanders, 590 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: and he wanted to share a very special message with 591 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: you about how he envisions this whole Pro Bowl thing 592 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: playing out. So let's get a look at that here. Jerry, 593 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: what's up. I don't need to introduce myself. I'm sure 594 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: you know me. We've gone one on one many times, 595 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: so many occasions could go either way. You know how 596 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: we did it. I couldn't sleep the night before the game, 597 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: and I know you couldn't sleep either, because I heard 598 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: from the housekeep us, they say, all your sheets of 599 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: covers off the bed. You know what I mean? Check 600 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: this out. My Pro Bowl team is gonna high step 601 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: your Pro Bowl team. They're gonna dance. They're gonna put 602 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: one hand behind the hand, and they're gonna pause at 603 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: the end so they could take the at you and 604 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: guess what, baby, we will win. Not only will we win, 605 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: we would dominate you. You know what I mean by dominate, 606 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: don't you right? So I would have never guessed that 607 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: from Deon Sanders. I'm not surprised by the Dion. But 608 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: let me say something to your dion. Okay, back in 609 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: the day, you know how we did battle and I 610 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: used to beat you. It's gonna be the same way 611 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl. My team is ready to go 612 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: out there to win, and they're gonna be prepared and 613 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready to go. So, uh, you know, 614 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those guys to trash talk or 615 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: anything like that. Look at my track record, you know 616 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: that's all I got to say. Over twenty thousand uh yards, 617 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: over two d eight touchdowns, over hundred catches. You know, 618 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: I just let my work speak for itself. You can 619 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: have all the other. You know the talk and do 620 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: the prime time and all that. But I know, yeah, yeah, 621 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: I didn't sleep the night before. Uh we played each other. 622 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: But it was better that way because I knew that 623 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: the next day I was going to come out and 624 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna dominate you. I know what. Uh you 625 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: know domination is all about because I beat you over 626 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: and over again, and I'm gonna do the same thing January. 627 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna kick your butt again. So bring it. And 628 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I noticed Jerry gesticulating very just demonstrated with that right hand. 629 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if is there something on that that 630 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: hand that check it out. That's one of them. I 631 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: want to let's get a look at the I guess 632 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: the top ten prospects here Jerry, and we see the 633 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks at the top. Paid Manning is the idea 634 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: you want to get one of those two guys, or 635 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: you want to stack the roster and get the boats 636 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: straight out the way? Yeah, I think with a paid Manning. 637 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: This guy is close to like three thousand yards and 638 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: twenty nine touchdowns, so you want to get one of 639 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: the two. And Drew Brees he's a second in touchdowns 640 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: with twenty one. So if you can get one of 641 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: those guys would be in both pocket passers and in 642 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: an age now where everyone's talking about athleticism, Cam Newton, 643 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick using their legs yap for the pocket passer. 644 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: Well you know that, you know, with these pocket passers 645 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna throw the ball down field, they to 646 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: make place. So see if it doesn't want to us 647 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: either one of those guys. Pay Manning on Drew Brees. 648 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm back kickers in fantasy, but you've got two kickers 649 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: on there. You know, in fantasy we don't draft kickers 650 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: until the last round. Oh, I know that, guys, but 651 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: this is a mock draft, guys, I'm not gonna give 652 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: d This is a mock draft. So I added some 653 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: kickers and yeah, certainly. The one thing also that jumps 654 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: out is, uh, you have two receivers on there, A J. Green, 655 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson, no Magatron. How come to Sean Jackson? A J. Green? 656 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: What about those? I think A J. Green he's having 657 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: an awesome year. I think he's around eight sixty two 658 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: right now with five touchdown. Then you got uh DeShawn Jackson, 659 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: uh twenty three with about I think he has six. 660 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: But you know there's room for Megatron. Megatron, you know, 661 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with him, you know, because the 662 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: guy is big and he's gonna put up outstanding numbers. 663 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: But you gotta look at Jimmy Graham also what he's doing. 664 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: I think he has over seven hundred yards and I 665 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: also I think he has around ten touchdown So Megatron, Uh, 666 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: he might be that the best sleeper for me. Okay, 667 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: I love you and Robert Matthews pick by the way, 668 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: I gotta get that pass rusher love out there. And 669 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: once we get to the Pro Bowl, I mean, Robert 670 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: Ronkowski is going to be in this discussion. Also, how 671 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: does the wide receiver feel about this new tight end 672 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: taking away targets, taken away receptions from the wide receiver position. 673 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: I had never had a problem with that because I 674 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: just felt like it was going to open up everything else, 675 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, because Brent Jones, if he had a big game, 676 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: then I could have a big game because who are 677 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: you gonna double? Now? So there's nothing wrong with tight 678 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: ends making place outside all right?

Before we get 694 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: to Michael Fabriano's top ten waiver wire targets of the week, 695 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: here's another look at the top ten fantasy scorers from 696 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: last night's Monday Night football game. We had eight blastic 697 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: rivalry here in gentlemen, who would have thung one of 698 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: the best backfields in football belongs to the Packers. Well, yeah, 699 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'm so impressed with the Green Bay Packers. 700 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: A tenacious running back now in Eddie Lacey. They haven't 701 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: had this since a Mon green and now all of 702 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: a sudden, James Starks is getting into the fold. He 703 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: picked him up ten points. An excellent backfield. You're going 704 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: to need that backfield to in Green Bay because Aaron 705 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers is injured exactly, And with Aaron Rodgers injured, maybe 706 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: you need to pick somebody up to replace him or 707 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: to handcuff him. So here's a look at your top 708 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: waiver wire targets. But first let's get into Nick Foles. 709 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: He had seven t ds against Oakland Payton manning numbers. 710 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: Is he somebody should target down the stretch. There's no 711 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Now people need to temper of their expectations. 712 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: You're not gonna say seven touchdowns. You may not even 713 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: see four touchdowns from this kid. But the fact of 714 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: the matter is your enthusiasm that Chip Kelly's offense produces 715 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: fantasy points. And we've seen that throughout the course of 716 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: this season, and it looks like Fols is the guy. 717 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: Now Michael Vick is injured. If we don't know when 718 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: he's coming back, Foles has a very good grasp of 719 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: the offense. He's got some really good weapons at his 720 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: disposal with Shawn McCool way. Riley Cooper has looked really 721 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: good of course to Sean Jackson as well. So this 722 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: is a kid, especially if you have Aaron Rodgers and 723 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna miss him for a few weeks, potentially he 724 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: could fill in and be a very nice low end one. Now, 725 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: talking about quarterbacks filling in, what about case Keena. I 726 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: love this kid. This kid is a gamer. We saw 727 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: in week nine he was the third He had the 728 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: third most Fantasy points in week nine and how did 729 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: he do that? He was able to create plays and 730 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: extend plays because he has mobility. This is something that 731 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: the Houston Texas has his team in their quarterback match 732 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: shop doesn't have the same type of mobility, but this 733 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: kid can make plays. He sees the field well. This 734 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: kid can read a defense like an open book. I've 735 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: seen this kid grow through college and I've seen him 736 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: now into the pros, and I can tell you can 737 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: depend on Case Kingdom. Don't buy into the fact that 738 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: he's not a name brand guy. He wasn't a Heisman 739 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: winner and all this other kind of stuff. This kid 740 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: can play some football and he he belongs on your 741 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: fantasy team. You must pick case Keenom up on the 742 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: waiver wire. It's a must. Yeah. He put his team 743 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: in position to to tie the Colts late. Let's go 744 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: to the tight end position in Tampa Bay. Obviously, we've 745 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: been talking about him for a while here. They don't 746 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: have a lot on offense, and Mike Lennon certainly likes it. 747 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: Mike Lennon and Timothy Right and Mike James, you gotta 748 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: give these guys some credit. Let's talk about Timothy Right though. 749 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: He scored nine plus fantasy points in three of his 750 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: last four games, and I was so impressed with this 751 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: kid did in Seattle against the Seahawks, were teams typically 752 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: go to die offensively, the Buccaneers did not do that. 753 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup coming up on Monday Night 754 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. They have a lot a lot of 755 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: fantasy points a tight ends this season, So if you're 756 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: tight ends on a by this week, you could really 757 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: go out and grab him Right. He's now a low 758 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: end tight end one in a lot of fantasy leaders. 759 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: And if your wide receivers on a by, how about 760 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia Riley Cooper his best game of his careers, 761 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 1: he weren't starting if Nick Foles is under center. Absolutely, 762 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: when you look at when Riley Cooper made his fantasy splash, 763 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: it was against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Who was the 764 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: starting quarterback then Nick Foles he looked against. Now against 765 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: the Raiders, he made another big splash. Who was the 766 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: starting quarterback? Nick Foles. You follow where I'm going here. 767 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: This kid has a great relationship with Nick Foles. And 768 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: don't think that quarterbacks don't have favorites. He has a 769 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: favorite Nick Foles. Favorite is Riddy Cooper. He belongs if 770 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: he's playing, he belongs as a guy that you should 771 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: pick up on your waivebard and start. All right, let's 772 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: go out to the backfield now in Oakland, Rashad Jennings 773 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: had a huge game, mostly in garbage time on Sunday. 774 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: But with run dmc banged up, are you targeting him fabs? 775 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: You have to? And this is a guy who's going 776 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: to be a flex starter in a lot of fantasy leagues. 777 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: This he he's not a great matchup against the New 778 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: York Giants, but the fact of the matter is he's 779 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: going to see touches. He saw twenty two last week, 780 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: had a monster game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Yes it 781 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: was garbage time, Molly. But now with mc fadden injured, 782 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: we don't know how long he's gonna be out. So 783 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: Jennings is squarely back on the fantasy radar again. All right, 784 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: let's move on here to Baltimore wide receiver Marlon Brown. 785 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: He fell off a lot of Raiders after a hot 786 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: start for two t ds this week. Is he worth 787 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: a look? Yes he is. You know, coach Hardball talked 788 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: about getting Jacobe Jones more red soils natural think that 789 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 1: Marlon Brown was gonna take the back seat. But what ended? 790 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: Haven't We saw that the wide receiver Tory Smith was 791 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: on Haydes Island, And where did Joe Flacco had to go? 792 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: He had to be able to find some of those 793 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: shorter routes. Marlon Brown r random, He executed them. He 794 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: found himself getting two touchdowns. This is the key that 795 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: again you can pick up off the waiver wire. And 796 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: his name is Marlon Brown benefiting from that Joe Hayden effect. 797 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: And yeah, and that's for a minute, and Cincinnati's gonna 798 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: do the same thing. Cover Toys Smith. Marlon Brown is 799 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: gonna be your guy. All right, so we've told you 800 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: who to pick up to help your roster in a 801 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: week ten, Which players should you be looking a staff 802 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: for a late season boost? Stick around as we big 803 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: breakdown players you need to have on your bench. When 804 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Line returned Thursday, it's a battle of superstars 805 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: as r G three and the Redskins take on Adrian 806 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: Peterson and the Vice Games Redskins Vikes Thursday and at 807 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: Football at apn He started right here on NFL Network, 808 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 1: like Nana used to tell brand, Yes, that is Michael Fabiano. 809 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: Brace yourselves. A change in the weather is upon us. 810 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: Winter is coming, which means it's time to start stalking 811 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: those shells for the cold nights ahead. So guys, let's 812 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: take a look at a few players that are perfect 813 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: candidates to stash for the upcoming stretch. We know it's 814 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: gonna get a little chilly out here. Yeah, it is 815 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: gonna get chilly out here a lot. I mean, you know, 816 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: we know in southern California gets really cold to Oh yeah, 817 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: it's rough out here. You guys are all soft out here. 818 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: US ease Coasters know this. But let's start out bar 819 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: with Doug Martin he's returning from that shoulder injury. I'm 820 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: assuming people didn't drop him. Is this is the time 821 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: to trade for him? Well, you know, he's a guy 822 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: that I stashed on my bench, and you gotta remember too, 823 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of running back options out there. 824 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: There's global warming, so to speak, going on in the 825 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: running back situation. And he's a guy hasn't played since 826 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: Week seven, but could perhaps come back towards the end, 827 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: towards the fantasy playoffs. That's a guy maybe you just 828 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: sit on too. He's so valuable. When he did play, 829 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: he was getting twenty plus carries. That's a guy that 830 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: you might want to consider. All right, let's move on 831 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: to Andre Brown here. He might be worked back into 832 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: this offense, slowly returning from the broken lake. Are you 833 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: expecting him to pay dividends moving forward? I have tried 834 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: to pick him up in every league I am in. 835 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: He's available in a lot of leagues on NFL dot Com, 836 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: and the waiver wire goes tonight, so make sure you 837 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: put in your claim. This is a guy who had 838 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: ten games and ten touchdowns last season. He does lack 839 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: your ability, but when he plays, he's extremely good and 840 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: really guys. He's got two players in Brandon Jacobs and 841 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: Payton Hillis, who were sitting on a couch probably a 842 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: month ago ahead of him. He's gonna pass those two 843 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: guys quickly. Monny, let's head out west. Percy Harvin yet 844 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: to make his debut. Winter is coming. You saw those logs. Yeah, 845 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: I think you gotta say it with drama. Winter is coming. 846 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: Just give us your best, Caitlin Stark here. Yeah. Look, 847 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: Percy Harvin, he has not played yet. We're coming up 848 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 1: on week ten. Maybe he's on the waiver wire. Maybe 849 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't stashed if you stashed him. When I'm talking 850 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: about picking up players because Winter is coming, I'm looking 851 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: at the playoff schedule. You know, you feel confident in 852 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: your ability to make the postseason. You look at the matchups, 853 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: how the player fits into the offense. Golden tap, I mean, 854 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: obviously it's a running team. This is someone that's going 855 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: to get touches when he returns. Yes, they play to 856 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers in your post season, But 857 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: what if the Seahawks done to the forty nine is 858 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: the last two times they played them, they have put 859 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: a beaten on him. Something fierce. So I am not 860 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: afraid of Percy Harvin at all. I would pick him 861 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: in stash him. All right, let's go to another wide receiver, 862 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: Roddy White. He's thirty two now, injury prone? Can we 863 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: expect big things from the vet? Well, I wouldn't necessarily 864 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: call him injury prone. He's right now. He suffered this 865 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: ankle injury. He's been trying to play through it since 866 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: Week five. I say you trust Roddy White when he 867 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: comes back from this injury. You better believe Matt Ryan 868 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: is going to be looking for Roddy White. Yes, he 869 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: has some serviceable wide receivers in Harry Douglas duw Davis. 870 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: Those guys have stepped in and field in as needed. 871 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: But he's more vertical three. He's a great possession wide 872 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: receiver and he can make things happen. He's a guy 873 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: definitely coming into the playoffs. You want to get How 874 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: about Michael Crabtree. He's back at practice with the team 875 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: expected to start again around week twelve. What do we 876 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: expect from him with winter? Well, if he's if he's 877 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: gonna be back in week twelve, that's one thing. But 878 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 1: if he's not back until the Fantasy Playoffs Week fourteen, 879 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: Week fifteen. At this point, I would call him more 880 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: of a deep league staff and Akbar can tell you 881 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: better than any boy. You're coming off. I'm an achilles. 882 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: That's a tough injury to come back from. So I'm 883 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: sort of tapping the brakes. I'm crap to you right now. 884 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: After I tore Mike Keeles. It took me a long 885 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: time to get back to explosion explosion again. He is 886 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,720 Speaker 1: back at practice. So as we said, winter is coming, 887 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: players to stash on your bench to the bottom of 888 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: that board. Yeah, that's the name right there, because winter 889 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: is coming. And I'll tell you what that means. At 890 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: Foxborough High Winds a lot of dump off passes for 891 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and a whole lot of Shane verreen We 892 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: have not seen a running back. Steven Ridley has not 893 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: taken control of that running game we saw before Shane 894 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: Verreene got hurt. He was Brady's favorite target out of 895 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: the backfield. And when you're talking about short passing game 896 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: in the winter, that's the number one guy you got 897 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 1: in the week corn he had over a hundred fifty 898 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: Scoby jars. He was very good. That's the guy. Plenty 899 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: plenty of guys to keep your bench warm. I'm ready 900 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: to go skiing, how about you? All right? Tomorrow ONLI 901 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: for Everybody, Redskins Well, I repaired our son joint.
