1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of this information.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree?

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: Would you agree one of five dollars? This is a

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: road up having a tackle chip one.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Humans need fantasy to be human. My goodness, that's good.

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: You guys are prone, best, relentless, refusing.

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: To give up.

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: All right, hit that horn, burbless. Hello and welcome to

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: the Fantasy Flex Podcast. I am your host, Samanth Vee,

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: and I am joined as always by they want to

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: know lead Mike Triplet, longtime Saints feet reporter who you

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: can follow on Twitter at my Triplet Mike. Another huge

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: win yesterday in this wide open NFTY South. What do

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: you make of this? And yeah, we get the Buccaneers.

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: They were almost losing that game, so you know, I'm

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: a little bummed about that. But I don't even know.

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'm rooting for the Panthers at

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: this point.

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: Well, we worked for the Action Network.

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: The thing that I have learned is whatever in game

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: bets you can make, whatever live betting you can do

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't show up for the

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: first fifty minutes of a game, and then they'll ruin

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: your hopes and dreams in the last ten minutes in

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: overtime if they need to. We see that story over

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: and over again. They hurt the Saints twice doing that

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: last night. If Arizona would have held on, the Saints

29
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: and Panthers would both have a clear path to the playoffs.

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 3: Now the Panthers have to do it themselves next week.

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's all in the Panthers' sort of

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: hands at this point.

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: If they control their own destinies.

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: Exactly, if they happen to win out, which is asking

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: a lot because they've already won the last two games,

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: so this would be a four game win streak to

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: end out the year. But if they were to happen

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: to win now, I mean, they would be hosting a

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, which is just pretty

40
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: crazy at what it would it would be eight and nine,

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: so pretty crazy that you can have a.

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: Couple of eight nine division winners in both souths this year.

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, Speaking of which, we can just jump

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: right into the news Ryan Tannehill is likely out for

45
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: this season. The Jaguars have now jumped to minus two

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: to twenty five favorites to win the AFC South. So

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: we saw Malik Willis this week. Again not really great

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: impacts on that Titans offense. So maybe I'm with Vegas

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: there that I think that the Jaguars could end up

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: being the team out of the South.

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, and for the fantasy advice, Treylon Bergs came back

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: and you wouldn't know it by reading the box score.

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: We love the rookie tight end there, but if Malik

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 3: Willis is a quarterback, I don't think he can use anybody.

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Anybody except for Derek Kenner.

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: I feel the exact same way. It's pretty brutal. There

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: were a number of sort of quarterback substitutions this week.

58
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: Gardener Minshew, we were just talking about him before we

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: started recording. Minshew Mania was alive and well at AT

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 2: and T Stadium. Obviously they did not get the win,

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: but it was against the number three ranked defense according

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: to DVOA. Minshew completed twenty four or forty attempts for

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty five yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions,

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: rushed for five yards in a touchdown. So I mean

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: that's pretty much on par with what I thought he

66
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: would put up. But Hertz's status is up in the

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: air for Week seventeen. I know he is pushing to

68
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: play against the Saints. That is a very very consequential

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: game for the Saints there, so that could have huge implications.

70
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: What do you think of Gardner Minshew's sort of performance

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: in debut this season.

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd love to have I had him in

73
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: a really important fantasy playoff game that I won because

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: I had Lamar Jackson at Ryan Tanne. But I would

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: feel perfectly comfortable starting him again this week, even though

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: the Saints have had a pretty good pass defense this year.

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: And that game's going to mean a lot for Philadelphia too,

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: because they didn't actually beat Dallas after giving up that

79
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: lead in the final minute. So Philadelphia still has to

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: win another one to secure the one seed to secure

81
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: the division title. Even so, if he is the starter,

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: keep playing him. We could be talking like top ten,

83
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: top twelve option and not just desperation option.

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: But it is very much up in the air.

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: You know, we talked to the Saints coaches today about,

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: you know, having to prepare for both possibilities.

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've gotten a really.

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: Good clue yet and probably won't till later this week

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: on who the starter is going to be there, but

90
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: they'll be doing it without Lane Johnson, so that will

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: affect the offense a little.

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Bit for sure.

93
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I'm sure that that is complicated a plan

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: for since they are very different quarterbacks that run different

95
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: schemes in that Eagles offense. But for sure will be

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: something that you need to monitor the entire week because

97
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: it makes a huge difference for fantasy managers. One of

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: the biggest pieces of news that came out today was

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Hackett has been fired. And I think that a

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of Broncos media had been saying that it was

101
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: going to happen at the end of the season after

102
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: Week eighteen. So it did happen. It was on the

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: heels of just an awful, awful game against the Rams.

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: They lost fifty one to fourteen to the Baker Mayfield

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: led Rams team, and just I mean, this is this

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: is a defense that's supposed to be number one ranked

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: in past DBA. So that's just definitely not the game

108
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: scripts that I was expecting. So maybe we don't find

109
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: out this year, but maybe next year we will find

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: out if Hackett or Russ were like the real problem

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: with this Broncos team.

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see who they hire.

113
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: Obviously, Sean Payton's name will be in the conversation if

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: he's not the guy there. But I mean everything in

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Denver comes down to figuring out Russ because they can't

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: move on from him. They don't have the draft capital

117
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: to pick the next guy. They do have a late

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: first round pick from another trade, but they don't have theirs.

119
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: So figuring out Russ is the key to Denver. And

120
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's going to be fascinating from a

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: fantasy standpoint. He's gonna be an undrafted fantasy quarterback and

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: mostly it next year. And you know, I wonder if

123
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: that's the last wee we've seen him. We've seen people

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: diet before. We saw Tom Brady diet before before he

125
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: returned in Tampa. So that's gonna be a fascinating storyline

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: going in the next seas Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Tom

127
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: Brady are these are these great all time great quarterbacks.

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: Donner was just a blip on the radar. But that's

129
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: gonna that's gonna be what the next coach is tasked

130
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: with without question.

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: Definitely. I'm actually running a Twitter poll right now of

132
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: who which team messed up the most of the quarterback position,

133
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: and that's Broncos versus the Browns. Obviously, Deshaun Watson had

134
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: another disappointing game against your Saints. So currently leading the

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: poll are the Broncos. I don't know if that's just

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: because it was just so rancid on Jima.

137
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: What about why aren't the Panthers on this poll? Not

138
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: only did they trade for Baker Mayfield, they gave up

139
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: on him right before he goes out and leads a

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: fifty one point effort.

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: They did not They give up multiple firsts for Baker Mayfield.

142
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: So it was a pretty low risk. I think it

143
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: was a fifth round pick or something like that, So

144
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: it was a pretty low risk trade relative to what

145
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: we're talking about with Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson at least.

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: But yes, I mean that's painful to watch. It's like

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: watching your ex date someone that's way more attractive. So yeah,

148
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean whatever, it's fine. In terms of other quarterback

149
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: turmoil around the league, Mike White has been cleared for

150
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: contact already, means the starter four week sixteen against the

151
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: Seahawks and Zack Wilson back to the bench. It's been

152
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: a painful sort of three game stretch there, but I

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: think this will be good news for Garrett Wilson and

154
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: Zonovan Knight in the rest of this offense, who we're

155
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: looking pretty bad with Zack Wilson, and I kind of

156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: wonder where that leaves Zack Wilson in his future with

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: this franchise or other.

158
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, I mean I don't know if the unfortunately

159
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: they were so good early this season, they'll be in

160
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: position to draft anybody new, but it's hard to imagine

161
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: they go into next year Zach Wilson as their starter.

162
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: But you're absolutely right.

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 3: You can trust Garrett Wilson in your fantasy Super Bowl

164
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: lineups and your daily leagues and all that. Again, now

165
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: you can maybe trust Elijah Moore in those leagues. Zonova Knight,

166
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm still a little shaky on though. That might have

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: been a little bit of a flash in the pan.

168
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: And now that Michael Carter is back, he's going to

169
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: be splitting time that. I think that you have to

170
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: be a little more desperate, But all of them are

171
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: in better shape than they were before that news came out.

172
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: Look, it's just painful to watch the Jets only be

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: able to put up three points on the Jaguars, who

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: I believe are dead last and past dvos. So that

175
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: was a disappointing performance, even given that we knew Zach

176
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 2: Wilson was starting the game. But we did have a

177
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: number of games this week impacted by whether the Saints

178
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: and Browns being one of them. The Bills actually still

179
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: put up thirty five points on the Bears. That one

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: I know was a cold and snowy one. The Titans game,

181
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: which was actually delayed right you know, a couple hours

182
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: before game time. They deleted an hour because no one

183
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: in Tennessee had had power. That ended nineteen to fourteen.

184
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: Kind of talked about that one a little bit. The

185
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: Jets were impacted by weather right off the bat nineteen

186
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: to three. Like I said, so there are a number

187
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: of games kind of just that were a little wonky

188
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: this week. I personally, no one cares about my fantasy lineup,

189
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: so personally I suffered from a lot of these weather

190
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: impacted games. So it was a bummer, and that did

191
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: lead to a number of unlikely high scorers this week,

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: and some of these will come up in the waivers.

193
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: But Jared Goff QB two, Gardnerman Shoe QB five cam

194
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Acres pops off and becomes the RB one. What an

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: emotional roller coaster it has been for cam Acres. Johnson Foreman,

196
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: who I did not think was going to do well

197
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: against this Lion's run defense, and I mean the panther

198
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: just ran all over the alliance. So it was just

199
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: an absolutely crazy performance there. Kendrick Bourne was the wide

200
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: receiver six, Isaiah Hodgens wide receiver seven, Shing Zilstra the

201
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: titand oh.

202
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,119
Speaker 1: My gosh, that's the market the most random for last, Yeah.

203
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: Mercedes Lieu, Like I wasn't even sure that he was

204
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: still playing in the NFL so he would be tight

205
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: in ten. So definitely a lot of a randomness there.

206
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: Samantha.

207
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: Somewhere, somewhere out there is somebody who who held onto

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: cam Makers as long as they could, dropped him and

209
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: then lost got knocked out of the playoffs by him.

210
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: It's weaker.

211
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: Yes, you know that happened to several people who probably

212
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: went out anymore wearing.

213
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Out for them. I did start cam Makers in the

214
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: two places that I had him so I felt good

215
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: about that, but at least on the injury front, we

216
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: were pretty light. The only one that I could think

217
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: about in terms of like being potentially in your fantasy

218
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl lineup to w'd be Christian Watson, software to

219
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: hip injury, did not return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

220
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 2: But let's just jump into the waivers by position, starting

221
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: with quarterbacks. Brock Purty would probably be towards the top

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: of my list if Gardner Minshew is not playing, I

223
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: think Gardner Minshew has to be your number one if

224
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: it's looks like he is the starter. But brock Purty

225
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: impressive yet again, I mean currently the QB thirteen heading

226
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: into Monday Night since taking over for jimmyg He's QB eighteen,

227
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: QB eight, QB fourteen, and QB thirteen, and he gets

228
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: the Raiders this week, who rank thirty first in past dboa.

229
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: So I think that he could be a streaming option

230
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: if Jalen Hurts doesn't play and Gardner Minshew isn't available. Minshew,

231
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: of course, like I said, very impressive. Currently the QB five,

232
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 2: so they do face the Saints. I don't think that's

233
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: the easiest matchup, but certainly feels like he could still

234
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: muster QB one numbers out. And then Mike White is

235
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: the guy that we have been mentioning a lot. He

236
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 2: had actually looked pretty good for you know, the other

237
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: members of that team, and he is a usable I

238
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: think QB two at the Seahawks this week. Do you

239
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: have any thoughts about those guys or anyone else on

240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: your radar? Yeah?

241
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: Well, I love brock Perty's final two matchups against the

242
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: Raiders and the Cardinals. If you're in a league that

243
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: goes all the way to week eighteen, and you know,

244
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: we were wondering about the injuries at receiver there.

245
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: But somebody loves George Kittle. Again.

246
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: It's a good reminder that some quarterbacks you know, loves

247
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: turning back into Travis Kelce there. So he's got plenty

248
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: of options. You can obviously throw at Christian McCaffrey too,

249
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: he by far and away him. Yeah, him and Minshew

250
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: are two guys that I would I would start with

251
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: confidence in really important games, less confidence in Mike White

252
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: and Baker Mayfield. They're legitimate options though, but you know,

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't ignore what Baker Mayfield just did.

254
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: I mean he what twenty four to twenty eight he finished.

255
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: I think he completed like eighteen of his first in

256
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: nineteen or something crazy like that. He's he's playing real

257
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: football there. I don't expect fifty one points again against

258
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: the Chargers, but it's not an impossible matchup, so he's

259
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: not a bad option.

260
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: He really isn't. Sam Darno will be going against.

261
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: The Buccaneers, I don't. I don't think that's a great matchup,

262
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: So i'd put him, I'd put him below Baker Mayfield

263
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: almost ironically enough.

264
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: Yes, ironically enough. I mean I don't know how much

265
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: to make of this Baker Mayfield sort of comeback. I

266
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: mean it is impressive credit where credit is due against

267
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos, who have been absolutely crazy good against the

268
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: past this year. So yeah, I mean he is a

269
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: viable option for two quarterback or super flex leagues, or

270
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: even if you're in like a sixteen team league and

271
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: you happen to lose a quarterback like I don't hate

272
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: that for sure. In terms of the running back position,

273
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: guys that I am looking at our James Cook, he's

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: just over fifty percent rostered. The Bills obviously lean very

275
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: heavily on their run game. In that freezing cold game

276
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: that we just talked about, Cook and Devin Singletary split

277
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: work on the ground pretty evenly. But Cook is the

278
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: RB nine and half PPR with one game left to play.

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: He was outsnapped by Singletary, but I account of twenty

280
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: six two thirty seven. But this still remains a pretty

281
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: legitimate sort of running back by committee situation, and in

282
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: the Bills offense, he still offers a lot of upside.

283
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: So he's a rookie that's been on my radar since

284
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: before the draft for sure. Cuba Hubbard, we talked about

285
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: the Panthers just kind of dominating on the ground, which

286
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: is not necessarily how I thought that game would play out,

287
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: just given how the Lion's defenses looked so weak against

288
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: the pass and then pretty good against the run. But again,

289
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: another one A one B type situation with Danton Foreman

290
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Tyler al Jeer has been looking pretty good. I mean,

291
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: he had a massive Week fifteen and then rushed eighteen

292
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: times for seventy four yards and caught four passes for

293
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: forty three yards. The RB eleven appears though that he

294
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: has emerged as maybe the favorite Rusher over Corderio Patterson,

295
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: with maybe Desmond Ritter leading on more of a traditional

296
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: run game versus that kind of short yardage passing game

297
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: with Patterson. So that was kind of my takeaway from

298
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: that game. Any thoughts on those guys or anyone else

299
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: that's wing a radar.

300
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had four names that my top four names

301
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: listed are the same top four you I'd listed, with

302
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: Gus Edwards being the fourth.

303
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: The problem is with all four of.

304
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: These guys, they all split time James Cooke, Cuba Hubbard.

305
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: James Cook and Cuba Hubbard had sort of like breakout

306
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: games and still both finished second on their own teams

307
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: behind Deonta Foreman and Devin Singletary. But you know, Cook

308
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: for a minute there, I think we really strongly advocated

309
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: for him when it looked like are they just gonna

310
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: turn to him down the stretch and they've just been

311
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: waiting to unleash him and that has it really happened.

312
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: But his snaps have still been there.

313
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: That week that I'm talking about, he had thirty two

314
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: snaps four weeks ago and he had the big breakout game,

315
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: and since then he's had twenty four, twenty eight, twenty six,

316
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: so they are still continuing to use him. You know,

317
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll he'll put up RB one numbers,

318
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: but he's really involved. I mean, it's the same situation

319
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: for Hubbard. We talked about how he started getting more

320
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: early down work and that continued, but as that game

321
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: more on, Foreman kind of surpassed him in that role.

322
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: He has more of the pass catching quality there. But

323
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: Algie here is the one who I think they've really

324
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: made a shift there. And with Desmond Ritter at quarterback

325
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: being kind of a shaky quarterback for them, and the

326
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: same thing, he's not running like Marcus Mariota was. They're

327
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: giving a lot of volume to Algier too. They're going

328
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: to play against the Cardinals team that they should be

329
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: able to run the ball the entire game against. That

330
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: game should not get away from them. They could be

331
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: protecting a lead in that game. I think you can

332
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: feel really comfortable putting Algier in there. One other name

333
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: that might join this list. You got to watch Monday

334
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: Night Football to see what the Colts plan to do

335
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: with Zach Moss and Dean Jackson. We were wondering about

336
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: that last week. We'll find that out on Monday night

337
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: if one of them clearly emerges as their go to

338
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: guy that could be actionable. And then yeah, just a

339
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: couple other names I put in here for more of

340
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: the desperate Kenneth Gainwell, we've mentioned him almost every week

341
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: because he continues to play a small role there in Philly.

342
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: And then DJ Dallas is kind of quietly he was

343
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: dealing with his own injuries, but he's clearly sort of

344
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: the Chuba Hubbard to what Kenneth Walker's doing.

345
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: And seat definitely yeah to your point about the Hubbard

346
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: Foreman sort of split there. I think that in games

347
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: where they're just going to go up and kind of

348
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: have a decent lead. I mean, I wasn't a huge lead,

349
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: but it was a decent lead for a lot of

350
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: that game. That's when Foreman shines, whereas Hubbard is obviously

351
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: the more the pass catcher. So it's it's really just

352
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: a gamescript dependence sort of situation for which guy and

353
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: the Panthers are just such a weird team that like,

354
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: I never know what version of the Panthers are going

355
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: to show up. So it's like it's one thing to say, like, oh, well,

356
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: if you think they're going to lead in this game,

357
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: like I don't know, Like they beat the Buccaneers earlier

358
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: this season, which seemed like a very improbable.

359
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Win, so well, you know what they're going to do.

360
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: They're going to be leading Tampa Bay by ten points

361
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: with five minutes to go, so they'll at least be

362
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: able to run until Tampa Bay decides.

363
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so what you're saying is a start danto Foreman exactly. Yes, No,

364
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Algier, I think that he could flirt with RB

365
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: two numbers this week against the Cardinals. They ring twenty

366
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: seventh in rush DVOA and have allowed the eighth most

367
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 2: fantasy points to running backs this year. So yes, he

368
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: is the one that I would say like has a

369
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: little bit of a clearer edge in these committee type

370
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: situations gos sidewards. It's just hard to get excited about

371
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: anyone in this Raven's backfield because they've just been such

372
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: a headache for fantasy all season long. So the only

373
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: positive thing is that they've given up on like Tenneth Drake,

374
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: Kenyon Drake right now, so at least he is not

375
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: kind of messing up a fantasy lineups at this point

376
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: now on the sleeper. Sleeper is the fastest growing fantasy

377
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 2: platform today with millions of players. You probably already have

378
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: a fantasy league on there. I use it for mine.

379
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: It is a game changing product unlike anything else in

380
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: the industry, and now you could win on Sleeper by

381
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: playing their new over undergame. It's super simple. First, in

382
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: any sport, choose two or more players that you like

383
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: and pick the over under for example rushing yards and

384
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: football well or number of points in basketball. Then choose

385
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: the amount of money that you want to enter into

386
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: the contest. If you pick correctly, you can win anywhere

387
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: from two times to over twenty times the money you

388
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: put in. The main reason I'm excited about over Under

389
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: on Sleeper is that it's the only app where I

390
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: can join my friends contests and play together. It's got

391
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: a built in group chat where I can see and

392
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: copy my group's picks with the top of a button.

393
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: Along with over under integrated into the fantasy experience itself,

394
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: it's insanely fun to write it out together. Stop what

395

Speaker 2: you're doing and download Sleeper right now to play their

396
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,120

Speaker 2: Terms and conditions apply. See Sleepers terms of use for details.

403
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: Onto the wide receip I think there's a little bit

404
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: better crop here. Johan Dotson just remains at the top

405
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: of this list. I get it like not that many

406
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: people are super active on waivers this time of year,

407
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 2: because now most people only have two teams that are

408
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: really in contention to win, or you know, four teams

409
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: we're going for a third place finish or something like that.

410
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: But Dotson is only twenty three percent rostered. So and

411
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: I actually worried about this matchup. I know that the

412
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: forty nine ers haven't been a terrible matchup for wide

413
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: receivers fantasy wise, but they are still a top team

414
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: against the pass in terms of dboa. But he, Terry McLaurin,

415
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: and Curtis Sanguel all had nice days for Fantasy. All

416
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: found the end zone. Dotson had a team high nine targets,

417
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: caught six passes for seventy six yards and a touchdown. So,

418
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: like I said, I was just I was a little

419
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: worried about him. I didn't say sit him, but I

420
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: wasn't quite ready to go all in on him. But now,

421
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if he can handle a matchup like that,

422
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: it's pretty impressive. This is his third game in a

423
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: row with at least fourteen fantasy points and a touchdown.

424
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: We mentioned that he missed a big chunk of time,

425
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: but in the ten games he's played in, he's finished

426
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: as the top twenty two receiver or better in six

427
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: of them, so I think he's a wide receiver three

428
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: rest of season with the Browns and Cowboys to finish

429
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: out the year, those are much easier matchups than the

430
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. DJ Chark has been a frequent flyer

431
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: on this report as well, just because he's just kind

432
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: of randomly emerged and has actually performed better with Jamison

433
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: Williams on the field, which is not necessarily the development

434
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: that I would think would happen. But since Week twelve,

435
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: Chark is the wide receiver twenty has four or five

436
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: games with nine or more fantasy points. So this offense

437
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: is just very high volume with Jared Goff kind of

438
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: chucking the ball a lot, so he should be a

439
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: viable starter this week against the Bears, who ranked twenty

440
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: ninth in pass DVOA. And then the next guy that

441
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna mention a couple guys that we mentioned are

442
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: both from the Giants, Isaiah Hodgens and Richie James. Not

443
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: really sure what to make of who I would take

444
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: from either of these guys because they both ended up

445
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: catching eight passes each and it was eighty nine yards

446
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: in a touchdown and then eighty yards. Darius Slayton was

447
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: also involved as well, So it's like this passing game

448
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: for the Giants has been pretty much put together with

449
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: like spit and blue because they don't have a really

450
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: good alpha receiver. So it's really hard to like put

451
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: your faith in Isaiah Hodgens. But that said, I mean

452
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: he was released by the Bills, picked up by the

453
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: Giants in November and really has been on the rise

454
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: ever since. So I think he's a name to definitely

455
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: keep an eye on if you have a deeper league.

456
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: I really don't hate that matchup he's facing the Colts

457
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: this week. Brandon Cooks came back from injury looked pretty

458
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: good from a three game injury. Hiatus led the team

459
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: in targets, caught four of nine for thirty four yards

460
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: and a touchdown. He's been disappointing this year, but like

461
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: the Texans who have two wins, aren't really They don't

462
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: have a lot of competition for targets there.

463
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: So I think Nico Collins is out for the year.

464
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, And the remaining schedule is Jaguars and Colts.

465
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: The Jaguars are very very good matchup there. So any

466
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: thoughts on the guys that I mentioned or any other guys.

467
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: That you like, Well, first of all, we both have

468
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: been driving the j Hunt Dodson bandwagon and nobody is

469
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: listening to us twenty three percent. Like, that's got to

470
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: be keeper in dynasty leagues too. He has to be

471
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: one hundred percent roster in those leagues. If not, even

472
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: if you missed the playoffs, run out and put him

473
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 3: on your lineup, illegal to do it. Right now, He's

474
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: going to be great for years to come. I mean,

475
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 3: the talent is there and the opportunity is there. What

476
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 3: more do you want in a fantasy pickup? Of course,

477
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm also scared about Isaiah Hodgens, but the Giants.

478
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: I was laughing.

479
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: They must lead the league in most receivers picked up

480
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: in fantasy leagues this year.

481
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: It's like every three weeks.

482
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: They have two new guys who are there number one

483
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: and two receiver. But there is something really there with him.

484
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a little bit more for the desperate,

485
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: but first of all, they picked him up from the Bills,

486
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: but there the whole the Giants, whole staff, GM coach

487
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: are from the Bills, so they all know him really well,

488
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: which is why I think he jumped in there so quick.

489
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: And this is I think three or four straight games

490
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: where he's played like ninety percent of their snaps. So

491
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 3: this isn't just fluke numbers he put up. He's been

492
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: really getting kind of wide receiver one snap shares there.

493
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: So I don't, you know, totally trust him, but it's

494
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: not a fluke. One other name I think will vault

495
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: to the top of the list if Christian Watson is

496
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: going to miss this game is Alan Lazard. He kind

497
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: of falls into that category of Brandon Cooks. So somebody

498
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: he's down in like the twenty percent rosters now because

499
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: he had just disappeared for so long.

500
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: But he became, you know, the.

501
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 3: Go to guy after Watson got hurt, and he's kind

502
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: of steadily been regaining his role there. I mean, you

503
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: could consider Romeo dubs two in really deep leagues, but

504
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: if Christian w is out, that's an opportunity there. I

505
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: mentioned Rashid Shaheed last week for the Saints, and I

506
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: thought we should ignore him in the frigid weather at Cleveland,

507
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: But sure enough, he made some big catches in that game.

508
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: And it's the second week in a row now where

509
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: he's led them in routes run. He's become their target leader.

510
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: And one of those games even was with Chris o'lave

511
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: on the field. So Rashid Shaheat is not only a

512
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: home run threat, but he's getting the opportunity there. I

513
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: really like him, especially in like daily lineups, but but

514
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: even in your Super Bowl lineups, if you feel like

515
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: your team could use a home run threat, he's become one.

516
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: Greg George was getting the volume. I don't know how

517
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: much you can trust that, And we didn't really talk

518
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: much about Kendrick Bourne with the best game of his career,

519
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: I think because he's been around for a long time.

520
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: So but you know, Hunter renfro Is back playing a

521
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: little bit of a role. Michael Gallup had one of

522
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: those biggest names. It's a really it's we're not going

523
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: to talk about Trent and Irwin. I don't think even

524
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: though he was one of those surprise, but it's there's

525
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: a lot of names to choose from the receiver this week.

526
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah only Yeah, Dorsch was an interesting one. I will

527
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: say interesting because you know, look, DeAndre Hopkins was in

528
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: a number of my lineups and I knew better, but

529
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: I didn't have a choice. Like that's the thing is

530
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: that sometimes you don't have a choice to sit. DeAndre

531
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: Hopkins caught one of ten targets for four yards. Marquis

532
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: Brown held to just three catches and six targets for

533
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: fifty seven yards, and then Greg Dorch caught ten of

534
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: eleven targets for ninety eight yards, rushes three times for

535
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: twenty five yards. I mean, he's the wide receiver eleven

536
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 2: heading into Monday night. Clearly has some good chemistry with

537
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: third string quarterback Trace McSorley, who could be the Cardinals

538
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: quarterback restive Way. So I mean they faced the Falcons

539
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: to speak that rank thirtieth in past TVOA have a

540
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: lot of the six most Fantasy points two wide receivers

541
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: this season, so I'm not saying necessarily trust Greg dorsche

542
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: in your fantasy championships, but yeah, another name that would

543
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 2: be good of four Daily.

544
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: And when we were.

545
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Talking about the Matt Ryan Paris Campbell chemistry, I mean,

546
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: if that's the throw your quarterback makes, then the volumes there.

547
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: But I would think that the coaches in Arizona have

548
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 3: to figure out, all right, let's put DeAndre Hopkins in

549
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: the Greg door t roll if those are the kind

550
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: of rozy like making and they'll probably figure out a

551
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: way to get the ball in Hopkins' hands much quicker

552
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: next week because there's no way to win a game

553
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: with that game plan they had last night.

554
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely terrible. One thing. I will ask you any insight

555
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 2: as to if Olave or Landry will be playing this week.

556
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Landry will not be back. They placed him in

557
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: ir late in the week, so he's out of the

558
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: mix for good, which is even more for Shaheed's opportunity.

559
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: It's a little early to know. On a Lave, I

560
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't you know.

561
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean it was a hamstring issue, I believe, So

562
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: we don't know the severity, but he didn't practice at

563
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: all last week, so there was never never any chance

564
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: of him playing. So that's one we'll probably learn more

565
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 3: out on Wednesday. But sha Heed's worth worth a fly

566
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: or pick up either way, and if a lave out,

567
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: then he's probably worth a start.

568
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, definitely want to have a wide receiver

569
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: one on any team, even if it's a team that

570
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: doesn't have necessarily the craziest offensive potential. But one member

571
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: of these Saints that does have great offensive potential. Let's

572
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: just talk about the tight ends. Taysom Hill. I know

573
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: you said earlier that you know, people were kind of

574
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: mad that that Taysom Hill wasn't getting fed enough, but

575
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: he did rush nine times for fifty six yards in

576
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: a touchdown. Currently the tight end eight, which is just

577
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: kind of funny that he can be tight end eight

578
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: with zero catches, but still one of the higher upside

579
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: tight end options and maybe a more reliable one just

580
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: considering his usage as a rusher. So I mean, I

581
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: think he's definitely going to be a top twelve option

582
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: against the Eagles and Panthers, both of which have below

583
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: average defenses against the run, and then the only other

584
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: name that I could really think about the tight end

585
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: position is going to be Noah Fans twenty four percent rostered.

586
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: He hot the Seahawks alone touchdown of the day. He's

587
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: just I mean, two of three targets for twelve yards

588
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: in such not like the greatest stat line or anything.

589
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: But he has been in the mix and has finishedes

590
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: a top seven tight end in three of the last

591
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: six games. So if you're really desperate there, I would

592
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: say is not a terrible option.

593
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Well for the Saints.

594
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill, Now, I loved him against Cleveland and actually

595
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: think this was about like the lowest number of carries

596
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: he could have possibly had in those frigid conditions. I

597
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: know there's a chance he might actually practically serve as

598
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback in that game, but he did just

599
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: enough to make him worth the risk. If like you

600
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 3: put him in over Mark Andrews or something on a whim,

601
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: you know, he still didn't let you down too much.

602
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: But against Philly, I think it might be a little

603
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: harder for them to stick with the run and to

604
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: stick with all those Taysom Hill plans. If they get down,

605
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: that's the risk, not that they can't run against Philly,

606
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: But how long can they continue to use their run

607
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: game if Philly puts up a lot of points on him.

608
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: So he's not the safest bet in the world in

609
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: that game, but he's always better than a lot of

610
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: these other touchdown or bust guys that you're considering. But

611
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: we can't forget about Juwan Johnson. And I'm not sure

612
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: if you didn't mention him because I didn't look at

613
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: his roster percentage, he might have finally crept too high

614
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: on the roster percentage because he was catching all those touchdowns.

615
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: That has not changed.

616
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: He is still their go to guy in the red zone.

617
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: Especially if Olavey has hurt, He's going to go right

618
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: back to being one of their biggest pass catchers. He

619
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: just disappeared because of the Cleveland weather. So don't think

620
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: that you know, he's not still a big part of

621
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: this offense because he didn't put up big numbers in

622
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: Cleveland in whatever thirty mile per hour wins. And then also,

623
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, we could add Greg Dulsage back to the list.

624
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: We flirted with him all year long, and anytime he

625
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: puts up a big game, he doesn't seem to follow

626
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: it up. But he's another one in that Noah fense range.

627
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I wish I could trust anyone in

628
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: that Denver dumpster fire. But it's pretty tough. Tempers were

629
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: definitely flaring on the sidelines there.

630
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: He should also mention Shane Zylstra because of what he

631
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: has to know but want to do. We want to touchdowns,

632
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: but that's the thing we need to mention him because

633
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: people probably want to listen to find out who this

634
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: guy is and they might say, oh, TJ. Hockinson's gone.

635
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: It was this the guy who replaced TJ. Hockinson, And

636
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: there's opportunity there not not really, He's been like their

637
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: their third tight end even after Hockinson left. So this

638
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: was as fluky as fluky can be. But you know,

639
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: maybe they saw something. It's not it's not a hard

640
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: hierarchy to climb in Detroit. But but this is the

641
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: exact opposite of what we were saying about Isaiah Hodgins,

642
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: Hodgens or Rashi Chah. Those guys have been playing those

643
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 3: roles and getting those opportunities and getting those snaps, So

644
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: those aren't fluky Zilstra. This truly came out of nowhere.

645
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, I mean it feels fluky. But hey, if

646
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: you if you're in a situation where it's just do

647
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: or die or you you need a miracle. Basically, I

648
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: maybe Shane Ziltra could save your fantasy season, but that

649
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: will do it for the penultimate episode of the Monday

650
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: Fantasy Flex episode. Mike, please remind everyone where they can

651
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: find your work.

652
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: Yep, I cover the Saints for New Orleans dot Football,

653
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,040

654
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: of the details on the Saints than anyone. And if

655
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: you're interested in this team, you're cheating yourself if you're

656
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: not following us.

657
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: All right, well, yes, all eyes too will be on

658
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: this Panthers Buccaneers game, not like I that's that's maybe

659
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: a joke. I don't know. Always will be on that,

660
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: but just to see the outcome of this division because

661
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: it could be pretty consequential. But thank you everyone for joining.
