00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: to set your lineups, from position rankings.

00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: To starts and sits. The guys help you make those

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: hard decisions. And now let's get your flex on.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Welcome in another episode of I Want Your Flex. He's

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: Mike Carmen. That's Ryan Berschinger. Yes, I'm Dan Bayer. Get

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 3: Mike at Swollen Dome. You can find Ryan at Ryan Berschinger.

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: Hit me up at Dan Byer on Fox, which I

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: did have somebody hit me up. I talked about some

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: fantasy questions last week, and Mike actually hit on Saints defense.

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: We saw that everybody Scott tweeted him before kickoffs and

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: go with the Saints, and boy did they come through.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: I also had a guy say, hey, what does Dan

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: Byer think about Bill Belichick? Now I got into it

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: with him a couple of years ago on social media. True,

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: that was the actual tweet that it was like, this

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: guy's been holding the receipts for two or three years,

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: and I guess good on him, you know, like for

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: doing so and remembering. But I have been a Belichick supporter.

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: It has waned over these last couple of weeks. I

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: don't think it takes away the accomplishments in New England.

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that's kind of how my week ended

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: up going nice.

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: I'm all over the map the Guillotine League survive. I've

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: got one team that's racing out to first place in

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: a division. I've got a team that's middling and just

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: kind of cruise it along. And I've got a team

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: that's winless because my quarterbacks, justin Fields, gave me big

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: points this week, but the other two guys are hurt

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: and two other starters hurt. In Saquon Barkley, I'm holding

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: a candle vigil, so there you go.

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: Barkley's been a killer. Was the reason that I got

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: chopped in a Guillotine League. I Mike wish I had

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: better success than you at the time of this recording,

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: and we need to let you in because I need

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: to let you in on this because of the story.

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: We are doing this prior to Packers Raiders going into

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: this Monday night game that now when you hear this podcast,

43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: it'll be Tuesday. I am in the unenviable position, Mike

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: of losing a close game and not having any play

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: on Monday night and being so far behind in another

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: game that I would need Jordan Love to throw all

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: eight of his touchdown passes to either Romeo Dobbs or

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: aj Dillon to have And it is such an empty feeling,

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: like I just want week five to end, like I

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: need us to get to Week six. I need Chiefs

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: Broncos from KC to be here on Thursday night. Because

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: it is one of those empty feelings, and I know

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: that people have that feeling. I am feeling it at

54
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: the end of week five, where you just want the

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: week over with. I want it done with because the

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: things didn't go right, and it is such a We

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: talk about sports calendars a lot, and it's not that

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: this is not new. This happens every year. There's a

59
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: week where you're just like, man, not a lot went

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: right for me this past week, and I just can't

61
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: wait to get to the next week. And that's where

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: I was in Week five. So I wish I was

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: you with one team that was rolled I had to

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 3: have a team that's pretty good, but they're the ones

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: that getting blown out right now, and it's just it's

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: not a fun feeling. And I think those are the

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: emotions that come with fantasy football.

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: That's why I just say I hate football so often

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: on these podcasts and shows, you think you've got it

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: figured out and then bam, something smashes in the face

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: and takes it down. The one that I'm most concerned

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: with those I'm trying to defend one of these analyst

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: league drafts where you pick and then it's the best

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: ball scenario for the year. So it's like, how well

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: did I draft? Plus did I keep guys out of

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: the trainer's room. Thus far, it's been an okay, a

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: lot of luck, but you know, with twenty man rosters

78
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: in theory, you know you account for some disasters, but

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: some of it is just I'm watching land mines all

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: over it.

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: So the Saquon Barkley argument is one where you're wishing

82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 3: and hoping that he stays out because there's an injury history, right,

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: I mean, like there's if he gets hurt, you're you

84
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: kind of blame yourself, right age, Yeah, yeah.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean you went in and you pushed all in.

86
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: It's the argument that we had with McCaffrey when we

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: talked about it for the particular Best Ball League, where

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm sitting in third, a few points behind the leader,

89
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: but very much the same thing. It's like, can he

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: do back to back healthy years? Barkley was the same question.

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: And one's burning you right now, and the other one

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: is uh, doing you know fairly? Well?

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, And but but that's the great mystery

94
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: with some of these players, right, how much it becomes

95
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: a consistent theme versus a blip on the radar? Right

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: if you're looking, you know, take it to the quarterback

97
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 2: position right now, given the last three years, we've already

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: used up half of Lamar Jackson starts.

99
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: Sure, wow, crazy, right.

100
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: I mean, look, and now you just pray that the

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: receivers actually catch a ball for him every once in

102
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: a while going forward, and that he doesn't make a

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: bad pass in the end zone, all of it. You know,

104
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: I don't excuse him for it. But seven drops? What

105
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: the hell does the team drop the ball seven times?

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, you know, no, you're you're right, it's and

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: there there are issues with the Ravens, but to your

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: point of like, now are you just sitting there on

109
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: razors edge? Do you try to trade Lamar Jackson? I

110
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: don't know how you can. Uh, you know, after that performance,

111
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: may want to wait a different week. It is, it

112
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: is crazy on how the injuries play a part. I

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: take T higgins injury for example. Remember he was dinged

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: up a couple of times last year and there was

115
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: a game where he suited up but he didn't play,

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: and then there was another time when they kept him

117
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: out longer than they needed. That is the situation in

118
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: Cincinnati where the Bengals are are constructed in a way

119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: where it is such a boom for Jamar Chase, and

120
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: we saw it in Week five, Like, if you like,

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: if you have Jamar Chase, this sounds awful, but you

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: want T Higgins to get injured because it is better

123
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: for you if you have any stock in any other Giant.

124
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: You can't afford Saquon Barkley to get hurt.

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: You know.

126
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: It's it's I mean, these are these These aren't mind

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: blowing things, but it shows you the difference in injuries

128
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: and how they play out in fantasy football and in

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: how things can have trickle down effects So the team

130
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: that ends up losing T Higgins screwed right now, team

131
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: that has Jamar Chase, they're they're they're flying high. Team

132
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: that doesn't have Saquon Barkley screwed right now. Team that

133
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: has Darren Waller's been screwed since Week one. Yeah, that

134
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: was a joke, but it is. I mean, there's varying

135
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: degrees of how these injuries play out, and some teams

136
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: take off because of certain injuries, while others who have

137
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley like I do in the league, are maybe

138
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: trailing a bit behind.

139
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: Well, since you brought up the T Higgins things, it

140
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: now becomes a how hurt is he? Because he's in

141
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: a contract year, so you know he doesn't want to

142
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: be sitting out, So to not get cleared and not

143
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: be able to play, that injury's got to be significant.

144
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just they played it safe with him last year.

145
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: Remember Jamar Chase in the preseason saying, hey, Joe Burrow

146
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: sit out. They obviously haven't rolled the dice, but you wonder, like,

147
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: why would you roll the dice with Joe Burrow and

148
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: then with T Higgins play it safe? So I'm getting

149
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: mixed messages from what the Bengals are doing, but in

150
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: any essence, it seems to be quite the quite the

151
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: boom for Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. I think they've

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: broken under their funk, and they got the Seahawks coming

153
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: up in Week six already off to buy. Yeah, already

154
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: a field goal favorite. And another reason why I'm a

155
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: bit cranky is I was I don't think it was done,

156
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: like ten eleven points going into Sunday Night and the

157
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: guy was playing had his kicker remaining, and I had

158
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: Ceed Lamb and Tony Pollard and I didn't and I

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: didn't win. And this is this is where Dak's interceptions

160
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: kill you, like it's just it is. It is so

161
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: bad because not only are they turning over possessions, the

162
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: defense can't get any stops. So it was just it's

163
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: a recipe for success. I have a feeling that I

164
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: am not alone out there for people who needed just

165
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: minimal from Ceed Lamb or Tony Pollard. They happen to

166
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: be on my same team. But that's what Dak. A

167
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: Dak like performance on Sunday Night can do to you

168
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: when just nothing goes right and it ends up having

169
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: so many dominoes because you're not sustaining drives. You're not

170
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: you know, tit for Tad and the scores, Mike, it

171
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: was just a very very tough not if you had

172
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: pretty much any Dallas cowboy against San Francisco.

173
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it prompts people to start tweeting out

174
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: about how CD Lamb's not a number one receiver and

175
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: relegated to bum status. I mean, you know, the trickle

176
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: down effect is immense.

177
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: That's true. It's true there are people tweeting such but.

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it flows terribly. You can't get the run game

179
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: started turnovers. I mean with Dak yes, the three goes

180
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: into his interception column. But you know, as we do

181
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: with most quarterbacks, you know, if you really want to

182
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: get nuanced, they're not his, they're not all his fault.

183
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: But in the end it doesn't matter. They go down

184
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: his interception. It's just the same, right if we're going

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: to do that for bloop bass hits in baseball and

186
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: broken bats singles that loop over a shortstops head, look,

187
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: it counts as a line drive single in the box score. Likewise, here, however,

188
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: it goes down for fantasy purposes, it's an interception. It's

189
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: a connection with the receiver and timing that wasn't there.

190
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: And you know, we talked about it last week. A

191
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: bunch was, you know, questioning how good Dallas truly was

192
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: at doing. For lack of a better term, now it's

193
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: one of my favorite terms. They were doing some bum

194
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: slang to start the season. Sure, right, and now you

195
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: had a huge step up in class and all of

196
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: a sudden, the heavyweight champion of the world standing on

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: the other side in brock Purty, and he gave you

198
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: the F five repeatedly.

199
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: It was the the interception that Tayshawn Gibson had of

200
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: Dak that was the bomb, the one that he overthrew.

201
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: He overthrew Cooks or whoever it was that was going deep.

202
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: But Cooks with seventy three receiving yards thus far, he

203
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: was going to be the game changer for them.

204
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: But like that I n t by Dak is not

205
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: like Josh Allen said he threw against and had. It

206
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: was like a Josh Allen Week one interception.

207
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah let me throw it up for grabs and yeah,

208
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: my guy, fine.

209
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: That's what that was.

210
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: Like.

211
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: Good week Josh Allen through an interception that ended up

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: being kind of an arm punt, as you like to say, Mike,

213
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: that's what it was. Saved them maybe ten seconds on

214
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: the clock, or they threw one up for digs and

215
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: ended up being picked off. That's I don't I don't

216
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: have a problem with that, like if you're Josh Allen,

217
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: but that that's what I felt like Dax was against

218
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. It was just just bad, Like

219
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: there's no reason to throw that ball. You could at

220
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,479
Speaker 3: least give Josh Allen an excuse to throw that football.

221
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: And Dak's just in T's are just killers, and you

222
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: know that was one of them. That's not just a hey,

223
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make a play. You overshot your receiver

224
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: by eight yards enough where that the safety then could

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: catch it and run it back forty yards. Like it

226
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: just it's just an absolute mess.

227
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: Too much arm strength Dan, something we don't talk about

228
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: with many quarterbacks. I mean, I'm gonna take the positive

229
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: of look at the arm strength on back press.

230
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: And at that point the game's twenty eight to ten. Sorry,

231
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, I can't tell I have sour grapes, but

232
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: I think a lot of the Cowboy fans are feeling

233
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: the same way. And the Niners, by the way, because

234
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: they can dominate the ball and dominate the clock, then

235
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: don't give you any leeway. And that's why the Cowboys

236
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: only have the football for twenty two minutes, and five

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: of those were pretty meaningless because Cooper Rush was in

238
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: the game for those.

239
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: And then you get to see old Jordan Mason running

240
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: a bunk by the way taking a handoffs Sam Darnold.

241
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: I had to play them in a guillotine league last

242
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: week that I got chopped because my team was so bad.

243
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: Now and then this week is the week.

244
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: This week Mitchell's yeah available.

245
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: Now you know why I'm in such a bad mood

246
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: that there is all right, let's liven things up. He's

247
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk some good stuff. The highs of Week

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: five in the National Football League, plus a little bit

249
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: later on in the podcast, Michael have his waivers. Bursh

250
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: is hanging out on the other side of the glass.

251
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: Mike Carmon's here. I'm Dan Byer. It's all next here

252
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: and I want your flex back here and I want

253
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: your flex He's Mike Carmon, I'm Dan Byer. That's Ryan Berschinger.

254
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: There were some significant injuries that did occur in Week

255
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: five and moving forward will have an effect on how

256
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: you play and who you play. Mike, one of the

257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: biggest Colt's, got a big win against the Titans, but

258
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: lost rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson in the process.

259
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: Right when you think everything's gonna start popping, right, Jonathan

260
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Taylor comes in. You've got him, Zach Moss says, not

261
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: so fast. I'm still a beast here, and then Richardson

262
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: leaves for the third third time this season. So we've

263
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: already seen Minshew a couple of times. You saw him

264
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: in situational football, and then obviously bigger, bigger tasks, and

265
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: then comes into this one. They get a win and

266
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: Minshew mania starts again. So you look at Josh Downs,

267
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: you look at some of the receiving options that take

268
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: a balance. But for Richardson, you know, he's a guy

269
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: that you were hoping if you went in on him

270
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: fantasy wise, that the rushing yards would be there and

271
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: that over time he and Pittman and Downs and with

272
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: Taylor or Moss or whoever was going to be in

273
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: the backfield, that it was going to be enough to

274
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: make him fantasy viable. And now you start worrying about

275
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: the guy on a larger a larger time frame and

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: career wise in terms of his sliding, self preservation skills,

277
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: all those things that aren't there right. So yeah, now

278
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: him from the last word, we saw as three to

279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: six weeks. But you know that's a roster spot. Go

280
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: make a claim. Depending on the depth of your league,

281
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: you may be really wringing your hands as to what's left.

282
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: I know you imbursed tapped into Jonathan Taylor last week,

283
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: but as you mentioned, you know Zach Moss had the

284
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: big day. I do think it's interesting with the Colts.

285
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: Do you think all of their as you mentioned, past

286
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: catchers get a boost. But now you don't have to

287
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: worry about Anthony Richardson taking away any of your rushing

288
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: touchdowns right rewarding those. But the question is now, what

289
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: do you do like I have. I had Zack Moss

290
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: in a league and didn't play him because what was

291
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 3: the point of thought Jonathan Taylor was going to be back.

292
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: Kudos to those who did because they felt that Taylor

293
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: would be on a limited count. But how much can

294
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: he trusted going forward? After the Jaguars this week, They've

295
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: got the Browns in Saints and then you have a

296
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: matchup against the Panthers, which should be gettable. But I'm

297
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: just wondering on how this is all going to work out,

298
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: just with Moss and Taylor over the next couple of weeks,

299
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: because it's not like one is really different than the

300
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: other and say, oh, this one can be used in

301
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: third down or in past catching situations. They may not

302
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: have the same exact running style, but I don't know

303
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: how different of a running back that they really are.

304
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: More or less the same guy, I would agree, So

305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: it's just more a how do we keep those fresh,

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: bulldozing legs going? And they did get the boost on

307
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: the O line this week with Kelly coming back, you know,

308
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: obviously you know, some big news for he and his family,

309
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: and then getting right viet not a concussion protocol, so

310
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: so good things there, and obviously having your anchor is huge.

311
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: But Minshew, in theory, now you get more balance in

312
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: your offense, so the running game stays dangerous. I mean,

313
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: both of those guys short term flexworthy for sure, and

314
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: then we'll see how the workload split happens. But given

315
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: the craziness of the running back position, Dan, I would

316
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: say you're probably starting both of them even against tougher

317
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,479
Speaker 2: opposition going forward, just based on touch counts.

318
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, fair enough. Justin Jefferson, Vikings are gonna play

319
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: it safe with him in his hamstring injury, still trying

320
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: to find out more information about it. Vikings gonna have

321
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: a buy until week thirteen, so there's not like a

322
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: week seven or week eight. By that we're like, okay,

323
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna hold Jefferson oututil this point that's far away.

324
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell says that they're not going to rush it,

325
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: not gonna try to rush him back from it. I

326
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: had Jordan Addison as might give you one reason to

327
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: start a guy. Yeah you did, just because it couldn't

328
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: get any worse than the week prior. And he got

329
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: into the end zone. And now he may be target

330
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: number one in Minnesota for a team that seems to

331
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: have some problems on offense.

332
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: Slide him up. I mean, one thing we know is

333
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: Captain kirkle still sling it around. The run game has

334
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: been what meandering would be the kind way to say it.

335
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: So it really with the defense struggling as it has

336
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: in the back seven, he's gonna have to put the

337
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: ball up addison a sense to that one slash one

338
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: ache with Hockinson, and then you know, kJ Osborne suddenly

339
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: becomes fantasy viable again. And instead of the wing and

340
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 2: a prayer, I'm desperate because of bye weeks or injuries,

341
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: this injury opens up opportunity. Yeah, it's you know, for Jefferson,

342
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: it's tough, right, you want to put up monster numbers.

343
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: Everybody looking for a huge season, and certainly he was

344
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: a guy that was argued up towards that number one

345
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 2: or number two pick overall based on his dominance. And

346
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: now we may not see him a while. Like whenever

347
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: you start saying, well, there's no need to rush him

348
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: back because I won. You've already told me you're punting

349
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: on your final twelve games season, which to nobody's surprised,

350
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: but you know, at some point, and I know they

351
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: they've got issues in the quarterback room. Two right backup's

352
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: not there. You got a third stringer. So folks are like, wow,

353
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: why would you trade Kirk Cousin, Like, well, because if

354
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: you want a tank, you want to do so, you know,

355
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: in the best of worlds to where you're guaranteeing you're

356
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: in your worst position and I know you don't want

357
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: to do that to the fans, but you're being realistic

358
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: about it. Is, if we're going to suck anyway, why

359
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: don't we go get assets for Kirk? And if Jefferson's hurt,

360
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: there's no need to rush him back still figuring out

361
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: contracts or whatever else. Well, at worst, it's a franchise tag,

362
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: so you move on from there.

363
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: Sure, it's a very astute point, because I was getting

364
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: to the point where I just thought to myself, you

365
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: know what, They're not going to trade Kirk Cousins. It's

366
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: not going to happen. Not that I thought it was

367
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: realistic anyway, But now, Mike, as you say, one in

368
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: four not going to have your star wide receiver buy

369
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: is way off in the distance. You got a match

370
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: up with the forty nine ers coming up in a

371
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. That's another loss. So even if you

372
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: beat your Bears, you know coming up in week six

373
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: you probably have an l coming and you have to

374
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: be realistic on what to do for the season. Yeah,

375
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: something to look ahead to. I'm curious about cam Acres

376
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: and ty Chandler for the simple reason of I know

377
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: Madison caught a touchdown pass against the Chiefs MIC. But

378
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: at some point, d you see like, Okay, maybe we

379
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: just give one of these guys the opportunity just to

380
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: see what they can do if nobody else is there.

381
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, right, I mean you make the trade

382
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: to bring in Acres for what?

383
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right?

384
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean you had Chandler and again you know jury's

385
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: out as to whatever, and Madison's there and uh not.

386
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: Were you trying to sell Jefferson You don't have to,

387
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Or thinking that you were

388
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: going to get some high injection of supporting the run game,

389
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: I don't know.

390
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: I think the reason they did it is the reason

391
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: why I think you should maybe take a flyer on

392
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: Chandler or Acres is because they know what they have

393
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 3: in Madison and it is much that would be the thing.

394
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: He's just a guy, right. He was a good number two. Right,

395
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: He was a good number two to Dalvin Cook. We

396
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: talked about him a lot. You know, he's one of

397
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: those guys like Tony Pollard and some of these others.

398
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: We really liked him as second second guys, right, and

399
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: then when they ascended the top spot, it's like, I mean,

400
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Raheem Mostert another great example. He could be the number

401
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: one sometimes, but if you're in a situation where long

402
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: term eight Chan isn't available because of this knee thing,

403
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: Is he a guy that's a number one long term

404
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: at fifteen to twenty times.

405
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: That injury history? But he can make the same place

406
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: as eight Chan? Can? I think? I don't know, maybe,

407
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: but that's just it.

408
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: You think, right, But again, given the injury history, given whatever,

409
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: is he a guy you want you know in the

410
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 2: offense where it is now where he's you know, halftime, great,

411
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: but just saying that, you know, you and I doing

412
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: the shows and the podcast for years, we've always loved

413
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: these guys in secondary roles, expand them a bit, and

414
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 2: then when they get to that top spot, it's like,

415
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: all right, maybe we went a little too far. Yeah,

416
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit too far, But yeah, with Chandler

417
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: and Acres, you would certainly think that they get a

418
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: better opportunity and maybe the run game, if they can

419
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: figure out a way to uncork that a little bit,

420
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: could be a recipe to stabilize things. And you know,

421
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: take a little off of Captain Kirk. Not that people

422
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: want to see the pass game get torn asunder, but

423
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: also the idea that you know, maybe you could grind

424
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: out a win or two that way.

425
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 3: Maybe off in the distance, I would say, just to

426
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: put those guys well.

427
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, folks are saying they played what

428
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: fourteen or fifteen guys against them this week because of

429
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: you know, all the referees being in the bag for

430
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.

431
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: That's everywhere, that's every week. He's Mike Harvon. That's Ryan

432
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 3: versus your I'm Dan Bayer. Put your helmet on, Dan

433
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: Acres and Chandler. Maybe off in the distance. Who should

434
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: you pick up in week six or leading into it.

435
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: Mike's gonna tell you that right here, and I want

436
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: your flex all right, let's wrap this up. He's Mike Carmen.

437
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: That's Ryan Berschinger. I'm Dan Byer. Hit up Mike at

438
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: Swollen Dome. You can hit me up at Dan Byer

439
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: on Fox and find Bursch at Ryan Berschinger. Let's get

440
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: to some waiver wire ads for week six, Mike, the

441
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: week starts Thursday with the Chiefs and Broncos playing. But

442
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: let's look at some matchups, some guys that you may

443
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: want to pick up on the waiver wire. As you

444
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 3: get set for the upcoming week.

445
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we start looking, We've got some injury report from

446
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: our guy eight chan has been fantastic, but now he's injured.

447
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: And you start looking down and wishing, wanting, hoping for

448
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: the Dolphins depth chart right, and you would look and say, hey,

449
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: it's Jeff Wilson. Well he's not ready yet either. So

450
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: a lot of Raheem Mostert in the interim and folks

451
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: that have been riding a chan I have to sit

452
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: and wait. I guess Chris Brooks or Ahmed are the

453
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: next man up for now, So waiver wire available in

454
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: a lot of leagues. Likewise, we look at Imri Demarcado

455
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: out of TCU for Arizona ten for forty five yards.

456
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: James Connor knee injuries got to get looked at, so

457
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: hopefully nothing long long term, but short term got him.

458
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: And they also claimed Tony Jones, who might have been

459
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: on the back end of your roster for a couple

460
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: of weeks over in New Orleans. He got waved, Arizona

461
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: picked him up, so potential for an opportunity there. Rashawn

462
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: Johnson with the news that the Bears will be without

463
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: Herbert for a couple of weeks. After that gruesome injury

464
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: on Thursday night, you got Justice Hill. Look, the fumble

465
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: was costly, but got a touchdown, catches the ball out

466
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: of the backfield. Still opportunity there. In Baltimore. You look

467
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 2: at going a little bit deeper, you got Spears in

468
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: Tennessee alongside Derek Henry, a little more of a workload,

469
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: split Quhi because they can't pass the ball. Eleven carries

470
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: sixty nine yards. Opportunity available about seventy five percent of leagues.

471
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: Then we go to the wide receiver position. We've got downs.

472
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 2: Why because Gardner Minshew is going to quarterback for a

473
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: while there in Indianapolis passing game. Let's switch to offense

474
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: number two, So an opportunity there. Minshew also a guy

475
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna look to, especially in deeper leagues. Make sure

476
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: you play a little bit of defense because he will

477
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: wing it around. We've seen that before. He has no conscience.

478
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds and Jamison Williams two guys that are still

479
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: available at about forty to fifty of leagues. So you

480
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: want to take a look there. Detroit's offense being for

481
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: real opportunity there. A couple of tight ends and Logan

482
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: Thomas and Dalton Schultz really are where we're going. And

483
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: then if you want to get cute, because eventually someone's

484
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: going to start calling plays by staging a coup in

485
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh because Deontay Johnson's available in about a third of

486
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: leagues right now, Fellas, So a playmaker comes back, will

487
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: he be utilized? I don't know. The shot of Canada

488
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: up in the booth after a touchdown to take a

489
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: lead with pretty damning everybody else is exciting. He looked

490
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: kind of upset that a play worked and something went

491
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: right for the Steelers offense. But there's a quick look.

492
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: We'll hit more on X as these injury situations become

493
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: more clear during the course of the week.

494
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Canada situation was we are again. I don't

495
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: know what to believe on social media, you know, I

496
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: don't know if it was at Kenny Pickett audible, that's

497
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: what we were made to believe that it was. It

498
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: was just super weird. By the way, good good news,

499
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: as you said, with Deontay Johnson coming back, Steelers and

500
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: Packers have the buy in week six, and quite honestly,

501
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: you probably don't have too many guys from those teams

502
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 3: playing you. Unless you're in deeper leagues, you're gonna have to,

503
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: you know, replace, you know, Romeo Dobbs or Aaron Jones.

504
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: It's the reason why he set out against the Raiders.

505
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: Just two teams on buy in week six, So plan accordingly, if.

506
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: You will add another fun and exciting London game.

507
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: So yay Titans Ravens.

508
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,359
