We're 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.600 gonna turn the mic up so we could do what 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.240 our thing is.

Only six more before episode four twenty. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.040 I told you it's Thanksgiving Monday. I gotta figure out 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.720 what we're gonna do, but we are going to have 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.760 a good show for you as usual. Here on a Monday. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.560 We will look back at week number nine. We'll tell 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.840 you what we got right, what we got wrong. What 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.720 are the big takeaways that you can spit and forward 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.360 for the rest of your fantasy football, your dfs, and 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.440 your sports investing season. We will look at the waiver 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.200 wire and let me tell you something. There is literally 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.080 news that broke in the last oh, I don't know, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:18.040 three four hours that I think severely impact the waiver 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.000 wire run that will happen ahead of week ten. We'll 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.960 get into that at every single position, all right. We 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.040 will preview Monday Night football Dallas and the Giants. I 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.160 got a couple of prop bets that I feel pretty 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.120 good about. I'll tell you about those as well. We 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.840 will also check in with Danny and the Pit of 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.680 injury and all that good stuff, as we you know, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.080 endeavor to put the fun in functional sports content. All right, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480 let's get into the injuries. Okay, these are the names 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.680 you're gonna need to know, These are the adjustments you're 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.919 going to need to make moving ahead. After a week nine, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.000 Jacoby Brissette had a knee had an ankle. The kne 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.280 bones connected to the hip bone. It looks like they're 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.119 saying it's not a significant injury, so he may be okay. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.200 And remember, um, listen, they got an interesting spot this week. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.520 I believe they have the Miami Dolphins, so maybe they 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.640 can get through one without Jacoby Brissette. But they're saying 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.760 it's not a huge injury. Adam Feeling Listen, he messed 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.320 people up because he was supposed to return, and then 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.800 they realized very quickly that he was not actually ready 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.640 to go. They didn't want to risk it, so he 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.640 wound up just sitting on the sidelines for the entire day, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.320 eviscerating the hopes of people who started him in season 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.799 long started him in DFS as well. They're gonna pull 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.400 back what usually happens with people that try to go 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.360 and then realize the player realizes they can't go. They're 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.720 gonna be cautious about this one, okay, And as we 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.440 know Minnesota is a contender. I don't think there's any 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.680 reason for them to rush them back. So if you 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.400 have Adam feeling, I would not expect him in the 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.880 next week or to Preston Williams. And this is a 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.360 damn shame. This is a guy who I have been 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.040 talking about as a unicorn um for a long time. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.400 I liked him. I had him in a stack last 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.960 this week and that worked out well. But it looks 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.240 like his season is with a knee injury. Listen, um 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.120 head coach down there Floors was even very upset about it. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.280 DeShawn Jackson looks like he reaggravated that core muscle injury. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.120 He's gonna have surgery. This is another four to six weeks. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.960 I think this is a big blow for the Philadelphia Eagles, 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.359 not even if you are a DeShawn Jackson owner, but 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.320 if you were other owners of other Philadelphia pass catchers, 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.400 I think this is a big blow. I'll explain that 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.240 to you a little bit later on. And we talked 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.440 about our big takeaways from week nine. But something to 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.919 know d Jacks will be out having surgery for that 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.760 core muscle again. And then uh yeah, just when you 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.839 thought I couldn't get worse, Yeah, it can lean Bell 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.640 m R I on his knee. We shall see. I'm 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.280 also gonna tell you guys something. Remember how like I'm 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.680 gonna do the Thursday show, right and I'm gonna tell 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.640 you about It's like how these injuries are trending, the 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.760 practice reports, all that good stuff. I'm gonna tell you 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.960 right now. I think by Thursday we're gonna hear news 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.720 on one Cam Newton alright. He had the weekend to 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.520 kind of like figure out what he wanted to do, 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.880 I think, And there's some report out there right now. Listen. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.039 The recommendation for him is to have like rest, you know, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.880 rest for like a month or so, four to five weeks. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.640 They say that puts you into December. If Kyle Allen 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.880 has been managing that team and they're in the hunt, 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.800 they ain't going back to Cam alright. So I've said 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.000 this before, I'm gonna say it again now with this, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.680 they may go to I R with Cam all right. Um, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.279 this could end Cam in Carolina. I'm telling you it could. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.680 I don't know. That it's necessarily, but you hear more 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.080 and more like, I think they're gonna push this decision 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.919 because they like what they have in Kyle Allen. But 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.360 I digress. Also, listen, here's another thing that went down. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:45.520 Oh yeah, the Browns waived Germaine Whitehead after ridiculous tweets 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.560 out there. Do we have them up? Danny? Can we 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.120 put up the Germaine whitehead tweets? Please? I know we 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:56.760 have them up. Can we put those up? Okay, we're 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.320 working to get those, you know. All right, well, we're 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.920 gonna get those. He he went after and I talked 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.039 about the Cleveland Browns, right, I say, what happens when 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.239 they're two in five and we hear about other people 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.440 talking and stuff like this, You're gonna see him in 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:14.679 a second. Germaine Whitehead, all right, literally started threatening fans 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.960 and media members. Okay, like literally, Danny's gonna let me 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.280 know when we have them, we're gonna go to him. 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.760 He's literally threatening fans and media members. It's absolutely ridiculous. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.320 So yeah, they decided to quit ties or cut ties 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.800 with that. We got a poll question up as well, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.760 my poll question right now at spitting Speeds on Twitter 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.360 you can always find me at spitting speeds. You could 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.320 always become a real member of the stats. Would beat 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.240 Cipher on Patreon as well. Who was your NFL MVP 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.119 candidate right now? And listen right now, You've got Patty 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.160 Mahomes at like ten to one, you got Christian McCaffrey 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.680 like twelve to one. Those are valid choices, okay, but 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.320 the top four are very interesting to me, and I 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.040 got something to say about all of them. Lamar Jackson 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.840 is now a co favorite for an NFL m v P. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.240 He's at three to one. Russell Wilson also at three 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.120 to one. That this is a small gap to two 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.799 players that are at five to one. Those are Aaron 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.000 Rodgers and Deshaun Watson. I want to know, who do 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.680 you think are the best bets for out of those 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.400 top tier candidates would you pick as NFL m v P. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.160 Will talk about that a little bit later on in 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.840 the show, and also listen this morning, I had a 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.720 popoll on Make It Rain, and this is just a 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.320 testament to recency bias. I asked who was the best 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.600 team in the NFL. And you know, about forty eight 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.120 hours ago, I've Benn be like, oh, my god, New 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.800 England may go sixteen and o, oh my god, oh 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.920 my god. Yeah. Now thirty eight percent of the people 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:37.320 say New Orleans, say San Francisco, and twenty three say 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.200 New England. I think it's so interesting that recency bias 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.000 creeps in, and I'm gonna tell you why that is 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.720 the devil in fantasy football. All right. And by the way, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.480 I got a lot of stuff I need to cheer 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.160 for tonight. I have multiple leagues where I may have 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.240 my own game of inches. We've got game of Inches 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.120 potential in the Stats over Beats league as well.

Big shout out of course to Henry 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.520 Henderson who's out there in the chat real deal status 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.880 of beats Cipher talking about um, you know, giving me 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.280 love for some of the offseason things that I mentioned. 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.560 We got a question from Ben also, he's trying to 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.640 make a move for Kaylin Belage in a response to 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.080 some of the news that we're bringing you um, and 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.240 wondered if he should drop Josh Gordon for Belage. No, uh, Ben, 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.080 of the players you mentioned, I would drop Tie Montgomery. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.840 I don't care about the left bell. I don't care 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.040 about the left bell knee issue. If there is even 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.160 a knee issue, do you really want the backup running 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.520 back of the J E. T. S No. Alright, so 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.760 I would go with ti Um to go and get 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.040 Calin belage. If that's what you are going to do, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.200 all right, then let's get into it and the news 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.400 that we're reacting to. One of the things that happened, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.600 all right is Mark Walton, uh, the running back who's 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.920 been doing a little bit of work form the Miami Dolphins. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.200 He is out for the next four games for P E. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.400 D S. Alright, so he's gonna miss weeks ten, eleven, twelve, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.600 and thirteen. That's the entire rest of the regular season 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.520 in fantasy. Okay, so you're gonna want to go ahead, Calen, Listen, 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.840 they traded Kenyan Drake. Alright, this is the Calin Blas Show, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.000 at least for the next few weeks. So while it's 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.920 not the best situation in the world, he is the 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.280 last man left standing. So I'm okay with that, and 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.480 we'll get into that a little bit later on the show. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.600 I said, I've got a ton of potential for Game 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.680 of Inches myself. Listen, I'm in one league and it's funny. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.400 I am fifty nine percent to win in one league 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.000 where I'm up by seven and I have Brett Maher 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:49.320 against Michael Gallup. I'm also to lose in one league 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.680 where I have Bret Maher. I'm up by thirteen and 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.200 I'm facing Kwan, and then literally, if you check it 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.360 out in the statute of Beats league, I'm facing my man, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.120 Jeremy McMahon. Burn one down, baby, spark it up. We 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.760 are literally fifty fifty. I am up by twenty, but 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.760 he's got sa Kwan. At least it's consolidated for me. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.040 I need Brett Mahard to do some things. I need 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.000 some field goals from Dallas and say, Kwan, you know, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.040 if you don't blow up, I wouldn't be that upset. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.800 All right, let's talk about what happened as we look 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.960 back on week nine. First of all, it was Allan 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.760 day right, all three. Allan's go ahead and get a win. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.640 Josh Allen, Kyle Allen, Brandon Allen, Josh Allen, listen. Still 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.720 low amount of completions right before teen out of twenty. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.160 I will take it. And when you look at the 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.720 rest of the class from that draft, right, we're gonna 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.760 get into the Jets and the Browns as well. At 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.440 least they have an identity. At least their team is 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.559 building around him, you know what I mean. So I'm 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.640 not mad at Josh Allen. Kyle Allen is the interesting one. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.200 He goes seventeen of thirty two two hundred thirty two yards, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.000 two touchdowns, he gets sacked three times. But here's the thing. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.160 What I was, what was proven to me, is that 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.720 the egg that he laid against San Francisco the previous 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.880 week was really a function of the San Francisco defense, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.400 not necessarily of Kyle Allen. Okay, Kyle Allen remains apparently 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.040 a legitimate NFL quarterback. He has now had an eight 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.120 plus rating in five of his last six games, or 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.160 just his six games. The only game that he did 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.160 not have an eight plus rating was in that game 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.959 against San Francisco. So unless you're going up against one 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.120 of the elite defenses in the league, he is a 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.400 serviceable quarterback. And I think, Listen, this adds to the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.560 notion with Cam seeing the specialist, he might rest for 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.240 five weeks, which pushes him on ir Kyle Allen is 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.920 gonna be there, in my opinion, for the duration of 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.120 this season. And then Brandon Allen. Listen, he goes twelve 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.040 twenty only a D nine yards, but that was good 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.800 enough as a game manager to beat the dumpster fire, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.320 the blunt guts trash that is the Cleveland Browns these days. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.440 I also, listen, there's two teams that you know my 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.400 term the fantasy heard, and they are teams that, if 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.480 you're a real status would beat Cipher. You know, I 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.920 have always been on I'm like a truther for these 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.600 two teams. But let me tell you something. I think 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.920 the Herd is starting to find themselves in a positive 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.240 way in both Philadelphia and in Los Angeles. Let's start 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:19.520 with Philadelphia. Okay, they get road win at Chicago, and listen, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.360 I gave you Jordan Howard last week as a waiver. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.000 I gave Jordan Howard as a prop bet as a 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.880 revenge game on Sunday morning. I hope you listen to me, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.080 because it cashed and he goes nineteen eighty two and 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.320 a touchdown. He provides the balance that the Philadelphia Eagles need. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.280 You know how I rail against these one dimensional teams 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.160 with volume quarterback throwers. It is Jordan Howard and to 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.880 a lesser extent, Miles Sanders as well, who's also looking 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.800 good as an ascending rookie. He gives them balance. And 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.480 let me tell you something. I was down on Jordan Howard. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.400 This is one of the things I speeds may have 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.720 gotten wrong. Jordan Howard right now has five hundred and 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:01.760 twenty five rushing yards this season. David Montgomery in Chicago, 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.199 Tarik Cohen and Mike Davis combined for four and ninety four, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.560 a little bit less. But here's the thing. DeShawn Jackson 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.080 was back, although it was short lived. Him just the 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.520 deep threat. Remember I said, even as a decoy, it 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.080 opens up the field, specifically the middle of the field. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.600 And I think that was seen yesterday because boyle boy 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.480 did zach Ertz remind us that he is an elite 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.640 tight end. Nine for one oh three and a touchdown 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.200 on eleven targets. But I think this is the key. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.840 You have the running game going, so linebackers have to 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.720 be occupied with that. You have DeShawn as the deep 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.920 shot back, right, so safeties have to worry about that. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.200 That opens up the middle of the field. This is 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.960 the beauty of the fantasy herd Okay, I know that 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.960 Deshaun is now back, gone for four to six ms 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.560 because of the injury. But I think that they've opened 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.800 up the middle. And now if Agila realizes he can 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.760 open up the middle in the same way, look for 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.000 zach Ertz to bounce back in a big way. You 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.360 had Jeffrey Sanders, aglor all Can tributing. Oh and yeah, 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.920 Carson Wentz only throws the ball thirty nine times, not 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.600 the volume thrower we've seen from him in the past. 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.880 And then the Chargers do the same thing, right, And 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.160 I've been talking about this, how they would force feeding 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.160 Melvin Gordon. It got Ken Wizzon Hunt fired. Let me 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.560 tell you something. Gordon, Yeah he gets twenty carries for 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.800 eight yards and two touchdowns. But Eckler is involved as well, 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:27.760 twelve or seventy four three Hunter Henry's involved seven catches, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.640 Big Mike Williams involved a hundred or eleven yards, Keenan 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.080 Allen involved too. This is the fantasy herd that makes 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.040 the Chargers a dangerous team. They went a little too 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.280 heavy with Gordon. I think they've corrected that mistake. And 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.000 boy is that good to see because you know the 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.360 Chargers are a second half team. Maybe I should hop 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.160 back on. I told you I was not on them 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.080 until I saw something different. This is something different with 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.560 the new offensive coordinator. Oh and yeah, the volume thrower 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.880 that Philip rivers usually is not yesterday one of twenty 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:05.240 eight sevent completion rate not a volume passer. Here's my 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.760 other takeaway from yesterday, and we have it in the 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.440 poll question with the m v P choice. If you 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.600 listen and your real deal status with beat Cipher, you 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.000 know about me also as the vocal minority. Right, look 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.400 at the top three out of the top four MVP 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:26.720 candidates hashtag all quarterbacks Matter. Deshaun Watson at five to one. Yeah, 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.800 he's an m v P candidate twenty eight. But what 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.000 it is is that when it matters, he makes plays. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.320 You know what I say about these tier two quarterbacks 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.320 who need everything around them, That's not what Deshaun Watson is. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.280 He raises all boats and make plays. Oh. By the way, 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.280 Lamar Jackson a three to one co favorite hashtag all 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.440 quarterbacks matter. Against the New England m F Patriots and 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.600 the Boogeyman and that defense that was scoring more than offenses. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.720 The Patriots were five hundred team with just their defense, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:06.040 Lamar carves them up seventy three a touchdown, runs for 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.320 sixty one yards and two touchdowns. He wasn't forced into 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.640 being the volume thrower, and he did it against the Pats. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.760 Oh yeah, but my actual m v P choice, And 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.840 asked Jillie Dilley. I said it in the summertime. Look 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.120 at the notes, I said, Russell Wilson at one. Now 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.479 he's the favorite at three to one. He's been my 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.760 pick for a while. He just puts up three and 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:34.080 five touchdowns. And guess what else? He makes plays. That's 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:39.360 what this is about, people, Lamar Sean Russ. They make 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.600 plays on third down in clutch situations. That's what you need. 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.400 I wonder if Dak Prescott and Daniel Jones will do 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.800 the same thing tonight. Oh yeah, and by the way, 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:55.760 the fifth choice, Yeah, it's Patty Mahomes hashtag All quarterbacks matter, 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.440 all right. When we come back on the other side 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.119 of the break, I'll tell you what speed's got right, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.359 I'll tell you what speeds got wrong, and then we 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.959 will look to the waiver wire because listen, there we 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.200 were in a ton of Hughes injuries. But next week 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.480 you have six teams on by Week ten is the 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:13.080 biggest bye week of the entire fantasy football season.

We'll tell you what to ma mind 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.359 for nuggets from last week, and then we look to 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.159 the waiver wire. It's episode four hundred and fourteen.

We're gonna talk about 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.480 what Speed's got right, what Speed's got wrong? Real quick. First, 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.720 I gotta say, dang z is asking me a question 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.520 in the chat room. It's okay to drop the Chicago 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.000 Bears defense for Pittsburgh. Yes, it is. In my opinion, 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:35.680 I agree with what some of the people are saying 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:37.560 in the chat room. I think it's okay. Here's the thing. 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:44.720 In essence, unless you have like three defenses, you know, 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:49.280 like San Francisco, New England, you know, maybe one or 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.640 two others, all of them are pretty much matchup by matchup. 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.560 There are very few defenses that are matchup proof. I understand, 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.880 dang Zy that you went into the season thinking Chicago 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:01.879 was one of them and probably spent the draft pick 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.080 to get him. I understand that, but at this point 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.040 you have to realize, yes, they are the same as 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.960 you know of the defenses out there, A good defense maybe, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.439 but not the defense that you wouldn't stream again. So 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.679 I am okay with that. I also see my man 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.960 Jeremy mcmahn in the chat room talking about what's call 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.440 in number? Danny give him the number he can call in. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.560 In our third segment, we can talk about it because 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.479 I think we may have a hashtag game of inches 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.160 on the horizon. But in any event, let's talk about 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.520 what speed's got right, what's speeds got wrong, so that 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.879 we could spin it forward for Week ten of the 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.600 NFL and the fantasy football season. First of all, I 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.800 gave y'all two stacks on what speed's got, right? I 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.320
