1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: The most valuable commandity I know of is information.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree to five five dollars? This is a

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: regular level happing, a travel one.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: Humans need fantasy to be human. My goodness, I suppose

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: relentless refusing to give up? All right, hit that horn,

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,920

Speaker 2: Who's good?

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: I got to enjoy some time with family friends here

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: in town from church and old roommates, and got some

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: game time with the kids and the families got some

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 4: good food. So that was nice to be a bachelor

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: at Thanksgiving because you get a lot of leftovers coming

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 4: your way. So I got lots of leftovers sent home,

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: plenty of pumpkin pie, a little football in there, some

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: basketball over the weekend. Pretty much all you could hope

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: for on a nice Thanksgiving weekend.

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: How was yours?

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is the best holiday.

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: I did not go home, unfortunately, and I ended up

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: going to Denver and eating at a really nice steakhouse

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: with one of my close friends who I haven't seen

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: since they moved.

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: So that was exciting.

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: And I got to play with this really cute puppy

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: and I ate a lot of food and went three

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: and oh against the spread.

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that's that's pretty good Thanksgiving. I did not

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: go three and o against the spread, so you got

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: me beat on that one.

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm just super excited to be back.

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: We missed you guys from a last week, so I

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: guess we're going back to our normal playhole drop now

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: that the trade deadline has passed in a lot of weeks.

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: They not all leagues, So why don't you hit me

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: with some quarterbacks?

47
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: All right?

48
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are back to some scrapemn toward the bottom

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: of the barrel on some of these options. Quarterback's not

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: too bad. Kirk Cousins back into the action again, ready

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: for me to drop him if we need to. So

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: we got Kirk Cousins, Kaysom Hill looks like he's making

53
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: his first start Thursday night, and then Russell Wilson fall

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: from Grace for Us. So what do you think between

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: these three?

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: This is really really tough. I know Kirk Cousins in

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: this list every week. I forgot. I didn't realize that

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: this has just become.

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: A That's all right, Kirk Cousins is on my life

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: list every week, so he might as well be on

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: this list too. Every Sunday. I have to make decisions

62
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: about Kirk Cousins, so you should have to as well.

63
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 3: Well. Kirk is QB eleven through twelve games on a

64
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: perking basis, and he's like probably the least sexy name

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: of these three.

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a hot take, like.

67
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill is whatever, but he's also like kind of

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: exciting because he's that weird utility knife player thing. Taysom

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: Hill may or may not start too, by the way,

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: because he's dealing with this like foot injury, and Sean

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: Payton did not want to commit to saying he was

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: going to start, and if that foot injury, even if

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: he does start, if that limits him. That will limit

74
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: his potential, So I'm not going to start him. I

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: think I want to hold on to him though, because

76
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: I would like to see what he does, and like

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 3: he was QB thirteen overall, so those four starts last

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: week last year brother when he was the starter, So

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: I think I want to hang on to him. This

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: is really tough, Like you can't drop Russell Wilson, but like,

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: can you start him with confidence? I don't know.

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like Kirk Cousins is a better matchup against.

83
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: Detroit, but like how mad would you be if you

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: drop Kurt? Cause it sorry if you drop Russell Wilson

85
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: for Kirk Cousins and he goes off, I know, I

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: hate it. I guess I'm just kind of going with

87
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: the starter your studs. He did moster nineteen fantasy points

88
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: last week, so you know what I'm going to say,

89
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: start him, drop Kirk, and hold on to Taysom Hill

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: because I think he's kind of like the dart throw

91
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: upside play.

92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is very safe. I don't know, We'll say

93
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: you Brandon.

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think this time of the year,

95
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: when we're around families so much, it's really best. If

96
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: we're thinking about cousins that they're not sexy. It's not

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: a good time of the year for sexy cousins. So yeah,

98
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: definitely and not a sexy name. I think the clear

99
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: decision here of the three options for me, my first

100
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: decision is Russell Wilson, and I'm cutting him. I know

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: he's the stud I know you got to start your studs.

102
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: I know he's finally back, he's not. This is not

103
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. That finger is still bothering him. You know,

104
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: he did get a couple of deep balls to Tyler

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: Lockett last week, but that was against you know, not

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: great pass defense either, to say the least about Washington.

107
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 4: So I got excited early in the game. I was like, oh, Okay,

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: he's getting a little better. He does seem like he's

109
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: improving a little bit. But really, if you look at

110
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: the whole season, Wilson has two starts the entire year

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: that you're like, yes, I'm so glad I spent a

112
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 4: high pick on this guy, and he's had two others

113
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: that you're fine with. You know, we're talking about fine here,

114
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins of Taysom Hill. We're not trying to light

115
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: the world on fire. But the floor has dropped out

116
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: on Wilson. And I think too another thing that I'm

117
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: a little afraid of, depending on what I'm looking at here,

118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: I think there's a real chance Wilson just ends up

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 4: not playing down the stretch, especially if Seattle loses this week,

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 4: Like they're barely barely in the playoff front, They're not

121
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: really like they show on TV those graph picks with

122
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: the NFCU playoff picture, it's literally fourteen teams on the screen.

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: It's everyone except the Lions and the Seahawks. Seattle fans,

124
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 4: you should be mortified. You're hanging out with Detroit at

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: the kid table at Thanksgiving right now. And if they

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: lose this week, like it's curtains, it's probably already curtains.

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 4: But if they lose again, like, at what point, if

128
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: you think you're keeping Russell Wilson around, at what point

129
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: don't you just shut him down and be like, all right, man,

130
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: it's not happening. Get healthy. Let's dray again next year.

131
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: So I'm cutting Russell Wilson. If Daysom Hill plays, I'm

132
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: starting him. He had two touchdowns all four of his

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: games he started last year, you get the rushing factor.

134
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of the Jalen Hurts types, the

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: guys that you get that floor there.

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: Kirk is the hold.

137
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: He can play if you need a starter. If Taysom

138
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: doesn't start, that's fine, you can start Kirk. That's how

139
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 4: I feel about him every time on this one. But

140
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: Tom Russell Wilson cut is the clearest decision for me.

141
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: That's tough. I like his playoff schedule.

142
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Besides the Rams, he's got the Bears and Detroit, which

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: is good, and he also gets chief in in week.

144
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Fourteen, so that could be spicy.

145
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think to your point, that is something

146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: that is risky that he could just like stop playing

147
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: because why like you know, kill him and put him

148
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: out there for a lost cause.

149
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: So I want to hang on to him.

150
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: Maybe he's a little sentimental, but you know what, personally too,

151
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: I think that he's like he just needs time to

152
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: heal and like maybe this game will be the game.

153
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Like he had a really bad game his first game

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: back against the Packers and now he's like getting a

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: little better.

156
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let us move on to

157
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: our trio of running backs.

158
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so now we are definitely back to scraping the

159
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: bottom of the barrel running backs.

160
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: This is a rough go this week. I'm not gonna lie.

161
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: I had to actually double check just to make sure

162
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: I knew for sure which teams some of these guys

163
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: were on. You know, we've got some veterans bouncing around here,

164
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: so we have as our option this week Matt Rata,

165
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: Rimande Stevenson, and Kevin Cooleman. So tell me why I

166
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: should care about any of these three. Tell me why

167
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: they're not just all cuts. I know we're at that

168
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: point of the season, but is there anything here for

169
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: these three?

170
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: They're all in that like late twenties, early thirties in

171
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: the rankings right now, so like they're fringe guys that

172
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: you may have to start in deeper leagues, all right.

173
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: Matt Brita, he has scored three times in the last

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: three games. Apparently leapfrogged Zach moss which is a very

175
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: very strange situation. Mossa's a healthy scratch last week, and

176
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: I mean he's definitely I think made the run game

177
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: a little bit more lively on that team.

178
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: So that is why he makes this list.

179
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: From Andre Stevenson, he obviously is now kind of siphoning

180
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: away Harris from Damian Harris. He's the more dynamic sort

181
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: of player on the field. I don't necessarily think that

182
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: he's going to be like a fantasy superstar so long

183
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: as Damian Harris is healthy, but he is enough to

184
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: kind of mess things up and make things murky in

185
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: that backfield. And then Tevin Coleman Michael Carter is un

186
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: injured reserve, and now it's just this like ugly split

187
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: the Jets. I mean, they did lean a lot on

188
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: the run last game because Zach Wilson was struggling so much,

189
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 3: and I don't know, maybe that's a sign of more

190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: things to come. He certainly looked rusty in that game.

191
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: I think that's a generous term. But he also split

192
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: carries with Ty Johnson, So I don't know how much

193
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: you want to put in terms of like investment.

194
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: In this Jets backfield. So that's all to say.

195
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: Ramandre Stevenson playing the Bills. You really can't start him,

196
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: but I like his upside longer term. I mean, the

197
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: Patriots do have a kind of tough schedule down the stretch,

198
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: but I want to hold on to him because I

199
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: feel like he has like very clear cut RB two

200
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: possible like in the right matchups, like even better potential

201
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: if Danian Harris is out the other two, like everyone

202
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: could be gone in a nuclear explosion, And I don't

203
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: know that I would feel the same way.

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: So he is the hold, and then.

205
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: Matt Brita would be the play, just because I just

206
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: don't trust the Jets that much. They do have the

207
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: better matchup against the Eagles, but Brito's looks pretty solid

208
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: and I kind of want to ride the hot hand,

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 3: and I do think Ty Johnson might be the more

210
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: talented running back in that backfield for the Jets.

211
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: So that is my long soliloquy about this trash trio.

212
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty much with you. Most importantly, I'm with

213
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: you on Romande Stevenson. He's the one that definitely looks

214
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: good if he can get on the on the field enough.

215
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 4: And like we've seen the Patriots, you just you never

216
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 4: know who the running back is going to be. It's

217
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan light over there for fancyer purposes, except that

218
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 4: it turns out really good if you accidentally hit the

219
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: right guy, you know, Like I remember all is his name.

220
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 4: Jonas Gray had a random like Monday night game with

221
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: like four touchdowns a few years ago, like Ramondi Stevenson.

222
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: He's had that game already a couple of weeks ago

223
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: when Damians was out.

224
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a rough schedule.

225
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 4: They got the bye week, next week, They've got Buffalo twice.

226
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy.

227
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: I think the Indianapolis still who's a great run defense,

228
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 4: but we know the Patriots are gonna run the ball.

229
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: He's the hold here of all the three, and if

230
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: I have to play him and to keep him, then

231
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: I play him too. Like he's the one guy definitely

232
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: want out of these three. The other two I don't

233
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: have too much to say about. I would probably play

234
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 4: Tavin Coleman and cut Rita only because with running back,

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: if it's this ugly and I'm just looking to get something,

236
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 4: I'm usually just going for touches, and the guy that

237
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: I trust to get the most touches is Coleman with

238
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 4: sixteen carries and three targets last week.

239
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: Rough schedule for both of those two.

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: I guess I go with him and cut Rita, but

241
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: I could be talked into either way on that one.

242
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 4: Remander is the one that I want to keep around.

243
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 4: But we've got three other receivers on here. So we've

244
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: got Van Jefferson, Michael Gallup, and Courtland Sutton. Very different

245
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: talent levels of receivers here, different opportunity as well. So

246
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: what do you think between those three, this.

247
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: One's a little easier for me.

248
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: I want to play Van Jefferson, he's got a preaking

249
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: matchup against Jacksonville and hold Michael Gallup. I want to

250
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: see how things kind of shake out, because he did

251
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: do really well last week, but that was with Mary

252
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: Cooper and Ceede Limb out. Now Stemb, I sorry, Amrik

253
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: Cooper may miss this game. He's traveling with the team,

254
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: but it's like the COVID protocols and stuff like, they

255
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: may not want to play him.

256
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: He also probably.

257
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: Hasn't practiced in all this time, so I mean, he's

258
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: a guy that I kind of want to hold on to,

259
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: especially in like the high volume Cowboys offense Portland saw

260
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: in Holy crap. I mean, this is a good matchup

261
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: against the Chiefs. But first seven games of the season,

262
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 3: he was wide receiver seventeen and half PPR. Since Week

263
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: eight and that was around the time that Jerry Judy

264
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: came back. He's wide receiver ninety five. He caught two

265
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: targets for seventeen yards this week against the Chargers.

266
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's no poeno. So I think I'm ready

267
00:12:59,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: to cut him.

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you on Van Jefferson. He's definitely the

269
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 4: guy I like the most here. I noticed too, he's

270
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 4: had five straight games where he's playing almost every snap.

271
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 4: At this point, we know the Rams like to have

272
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: a lot of receivers out there. I wondered when they

273
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: traded for Odell Beckham if Van Jefferson might actually stay

274
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: ahead of him well, especially when Robert Woods was out too.

275
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 4: And I just think Jefferson's familiarity in the system, and

276
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: like McVeigh trusts him. He's out there, he's making plays.

277
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: He's had six or more targets in five straight games.

278
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: So I totally agree he's the one.

279
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: He may not be the name.

280
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 4: He's probably the least talented of these three guys, but

281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: talent doesn't get score your points in fantasy. You got

282
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: to actually be on the field and get some targets.

283
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 4: So Van Jefferson he's the start. I'm gonna hold on

284
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: to Sutton only because I don't really feel like I'm

285
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: losing too much by cutting Gallop. I don't know if

286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: I want to play him against a tough Saints defense

287
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: and what I think will be kind of a low

288
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: scoring sort of Thursday night game. And then I certainly

289
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: expect a Mark Cooper back after that and see Lamb

290
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 4: back healthy from the concussion thing. Yeah, I think he'll

291
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: be fine. Sutton is so talented, and he's been terrible.

292
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: You can't blame right now, you can't, but he said

293
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 4: he's had two receptions are less than four straight games.

294
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 4: But he's really talented. There's a pretty soft schedule coming

295
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: up for Denver, so if something happens to break the

296
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: other way, you know, maybe Teddy's injury comes back, and

297
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: maybe that means your Locke is out there. Maybe Locke

298
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: prefers to throw to Sutton where Teddy's thrown a judy

299
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: or something like that. I just I feel like I'd

300
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: rather have the Sutton upside stashed on my bench just

301
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: in case. I don't feel like I'm losing too much

302
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 4: by getting rid of Gallop, So I would slightly swerve

303
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: on that one. But you know, Torylan Sutton, you've been terrible.

304
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: Ale Wider Server ninety five is rough. All right, Well,

305
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: we've got another Denver option under our tight ends here,

306
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 4: so we've got no offent. And then we have Dallas

307
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: Goddard and Tyler Higbee. These three, this was the toughest

308
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: one for me. These three are pretty close. What did

309
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: you make of these three?

310
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all in that fringe, which it's just tight

311
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: end is such a hell escape. Right now, I'm gonna

312
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: say I'm going to play Dallas Goddard, he plays the Jets.

313
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Hasn't been productive since Week eight, but I do think

314
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: he's at least up there in terms of the most

315
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: talented of the three. Tyler Higbee has been absolutely brutal.

316
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: One catch for three yards last week, has two double

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: digit Fantasy performances all year.

318
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: I am so ready.

319
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm totally fine with dropping him, Like it

320
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: stinks because you see upside there and you think it works,

321
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: Like how did he produce in previous situations? And now

322
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: he's got Matt Stafford and he can't produce. But it's annoying.

323
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: I'm okay moving on from him. Noah, I want to

324
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: hold on too. I mean, this is this is a

325
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: good matchup against the Chiefs. I just want to kind

326
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: of see him be it full strength. But yeah, he

327
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: is hampered by the system and Teddy Bee and everything

328
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: like that, So I would like to see maybe at

329
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: least one good game from him before I feel comfortable

330
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: starting him.

331
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on Higbee. He's the drop of

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: this group.

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: You know, if you can't play him against Jacksonville, who

334
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: I think is dead last in passing defense DVOA, if

335
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: you're not playing him there, like don't keep him around

336
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: because it's not happening and you shouldn't play him. You

337
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: shouldn't keep him around. So I agree there, I'm gonna

338
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: play no a fan just really on a hunch. I

339
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: literally I just contradicted myself what I'm about to say

340
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: like four minutes ago. Fant is the most talent of

341
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: this trio, and like he's a guy that can just

342
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: go make a play. And this is an extremely blaw

343
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 4: like mashed potatoes group of receivers, Like there is nothing

344
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: happening here. You're just rolling dice and hoping that you

345
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: get like forty yards and three catches. And if that's

346
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 4: where I'm really at between these three options, I may

347
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 4: as well then gamble on the talent and I do

348
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: like Denver schedule down the stretch. Teddy Bridgewater likes the

349
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: throat of tight ends, so phantom Me has the most

350
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: upside of like suddenly having a ten or twelve target

351
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: game or a long catch. Daddy breaks that sort of thing.

352
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: So I think that I play him, and he's definitely

353
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: the one I want to keep around, got it. I

354
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 4: don't have much to say about him. He's on the

355
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: field a lot. I don't know who's the quarterback for

356
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 4: that team this week, so I'm not too excited to

357
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 4: play him. He's going to buy next week, so I

358
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 4: could be talking either one of those, but fant to

359
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: me is the one that I get the most excited about.

360
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: All right, And next up here on the Fantasy Flex

361
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: is our Elite Entry segment where we dive into the

362
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 3: Prize picked app to build some entries. Brandon identifies some

363
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: markets he likes. You boes your own prize pick sentries,

364
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: and all of us have a little fun and make

365
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 3: some money. So today we are going to look at

366
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: Thursday Night plays for week thirteen on Prize Picks.

367
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: Hit us with some place you like.

368
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, So this is a very mashed potatoes, the sort

369
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 4: of Thursday night game. We're on a cold, weird stretch

370
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: of Thursday night games. Of course, last week on Thanksgiving

371
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: we had three games, but we did not record last

372
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: week are games before. It genuinely feels like this is

373
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: like the fifth or sixth straight week that we're going

374
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: into our Thursday Prize pig stegment, and we like don't

375
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: know who the quarterback is for one of the teams,

376
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 4: so there are precious few options here right now. There

377
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: are no no names on the Saints that we can

378
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: play because we don't know if Kaysom Hill is going

379
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: to start or if it's perversimion.

380
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: We don't know if Alvin Kamara is back or not, so.

381
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: I guess there are a couple of receivers that he

382
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: can view, but I'm staying away from the Saints. What

383
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 4: we know about New Orleans is that they're very good defense,

384
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: especially that they're an excellent run defense.

385
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: So I know there's been a lot of talk this

386
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: week about Ezekiel Elliott and what he set out.

387
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: No, he's not gonna set out We're gonna found it

388
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 4: and give him the ball.

389
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: A lot of times I don't buy it. You don't.

390
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 4: You don't run the ball a lot against the Saints defense.

391
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 4: So that's kind of the angle I'm going for here.

392
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: So first play, I'm taking the under on Ezekiel Elliott

393
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 4: under fifty and a half ushing yards. He's been under

394
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: that for the last five and the one over is

395
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: by a one yard, So over that five games, hundred

396
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: and ninety nine yards total over five games. That was

397
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: like Thanksgiving dinner for Ezekiel Elliott in past years and he's.

398
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: Just not doing it this year. So I'm taking the under.

399
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 4: I'm going over on Dak Prescott's completions, not the yards

400
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: necessarily because that's been variable, but I think that they're

401
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: going to have more of a volume passing game here.

402
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: So first five games for Dak, he had twenty four

403
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: point four completions per game. Five games since twenty seven

404
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: point eight, and his attempts have gone from thirty three

405
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: to forty.

406
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: Two plus over that span.

407
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: So over these five recent games, that's four overs on

408
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: Dak completions over this number. The only one under was

409
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: that really ugly Denver game when Dallas just didn't show

410
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: up at all.

411
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: So I think less running a little bit more.

412
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard but a lot more dak throwing the ball around,

413
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: especially now that it's like a Mark Cooper. Maybe we'll play.

414
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if you will. So I had two

415
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: other names here. One of them was Ceedee Lamb receiving

416
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: yards over. You can add that if you want. I

417
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: can't really recommend in good faith right now without knowing

418
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: about a Mark Cooper. I was going to add it

419
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: assuming Cooper wasn't playing. If he's not, maybe that's still

420
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: a good play. CD's The yardage has been pretty high

421
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: all but a few games. He had one bad game

422
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: that Denver one. He had a game against the Chiefs

423
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 4: that he left kirk. The other games he's averaging eighty

424
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 4: eight yards a game, so there's a pretty high ceiling there. However,

425
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: that line is going up, and there's the Cooper question mark.

426
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: I'll leave him out for our play today. I'm gonna

427
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: play instead Dalton Schultz. Their's height end over thirty nine

428
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: and a half receiving yards. He's been over that eight

429
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: out of eleven games this season, and he's had six

430
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: plus targets in eight of eleven games too, So he's

431
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: gonna quietly become a little bit of that breakout ish

432
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: tight end that people were hoping for.

433
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: I think they're so.

434
00:20:59,440 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

435
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: Time that we did our prize pick te three we won.

436
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: We're four for four on Patriots and Falcons going all under,

437
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: so not all under this time. Yeah, you'll love to

438
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: see if that was a ten times hit if you

439
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: played the power play and got all four of those

440
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: that are going with.

441
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: Just three today.

442
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott over twenty to a half completions, Dalton Schultz

443
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: over thirty nine and a half receiving yards, Ezekiel Elliott

444
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 4: under fifty and a half rushing yards.

445
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: Let's see if we can hit two in a row.

446
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: I really really like those first two.

447
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: I think the Dalton schultzman just scares me, possibly because

448
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: of the uncertainty with Amari Cooper. And to your point,

449
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: the Saints run defense is really strong, so I could

450
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: definitely see Zeke going under that. Despite what Jerry Judy

451
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: says about a heavy load. That was the tweet of

452
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 3: the week, by the way, I could definitely see him

453
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: going under that, especially with the split with Pollard.

454
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: Pollard looks really.

455
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: Good, so I mean I think that they're going to

456
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: continue to feature him. And then to point about the

457
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: run defense being really strong. I can definitely see Dak

458
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 3: airing it out a lot. I mean, he attempted forty

459
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: seven passes last week, so I and that was with

460
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: his two best receivers out, So I can definitely see

461
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: there being a lot of passing in this game. But yeah,

462
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 3: go out there and put that lineup in because Brandon

463
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: is giving out winners. Here as a reminder, you can

464
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: mix and match Fantasy points and player props to make

465
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: your lifups super spicy. Also, Prize six markets move, so

466
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,960

Speaker 1: All right, hit me with some mailbag questions.

475
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: All right, our first question is from Cody.

476
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: Cody wants to now, if you had to play two

477
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 4: Denver Broncos against the Chiefs this week in Fantasy, who

478
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: would you play it?

479
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I wish I could just answer both running backs,

480
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: but I feel like that's kind of cheating. They're the

481
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: only two that I like, really feel good about in

482
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams over Melvin Goryon. I love Javonte Williams. He

483
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: just looks super strong. I like he's not he's not

484
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: going to be an RB one while Melvin Gordon is there,

485
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: but there they both just been productive because they're also

486
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: covering up some of the blemishes in the passing game.

487
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: So I think they're going to continue to lean on

488
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: them no matter how the game script is going to

489
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: be against the Chiefs, which probably a negative one.

490
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: But if I have to pick one pass catcher or

491
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: probably say Noah Fant.

492
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: The receivers, it's just it stinks like Tim Patrick is

493
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: like out on the street and Cortland's not in wide

494
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: receiver ninety five. As we talked about Jerry Judy, I mean,

495
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: I guess Jerry Judy, but like not even Jerry Judy.

496
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: It's it's really tough.

497
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: I think Noah Fan could like find the end zone

498
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: because he's just like a big target, and you know,

499
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: subpar passers.

500
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Maybe tend to like those guys. So that is what

501
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the two running backs and.

502
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 3: Then a fan.

503
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: I agree with you on the running backs. I like

504
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: Davante Williams a lot. I actually took a long shot

505
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 4: flyer on him to lead the league in rushing at

506
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 4: the start of the year, just in case he kind

507
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 4: of took over for Gordon early. Yeah, that's I'm probably

508
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: not getting my money back on that one. But he

509
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: does look good. He does have like a player to

510
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: every game who he really pops and looks talented. So

511
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: he's the sort of guy if Melvin Gordon suddenly like

512
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: pulls his hamstring this week or something, Davante Williams is

513
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 4: one of those possible league winner guys if he has

514
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: suddenly got more of a chance down the stretch. So

515
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: I think in this case, I agree, it's kind of

516
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 4: the cop out, but I just play both running backs.

517
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: You know that they're going to try to run the

518
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: ball and keep Pat Mahomes on the sideline, and I

519
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 4: don't know, I think that that Sunday night game could

520
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: end up being a little closer than it seems. You know,

521
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: division rivalry games, those tend to be pretty close, and

522
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: the long the long odd teams have been keeping games

523
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: pretty close over the last month, so I think I

524
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: just play both running backs. That way, you don't really

525
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: know who's going to hit, but you kind of get.

526
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: Both sides and Jerry ju do you okay?

527
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Fair enough?

528
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: Although if I had to pick him as a receiver

529
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: or fan bet head end, maybe fat.

530
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: I know it's it's the mashed potatoes.

531
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 4: It's not great, and you know, it would have felt

532
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: good a month ago to start a couple of people

533
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 4: against the Chiefs, whoever they were. The Chiefs defense is

534
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: played a lot better these days, so yeah, it's it's

535
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: not an aviable position for Cody.

536
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: All right.

537
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 4: Jeremy wants to know, should I trade for Jaalen N'wattle?

538
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: What do you think?

539
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you're kind of buying at his absolute apex

540
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 3: right now after two really strong games. He scored in

541
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 3: consecutive games, and one of them was against my Carolina

542
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: Panthers with like I don't know where that secondary was

543
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: Cam Newton can't hit the broadside of the bar and

544
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: like I can't.

545
00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: It was so brutal.

546
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 3: But that said, I love Jalen Wattle. I mean his

547
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: rest of season schedule two is pretty nice. He's got

548
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: the Jets, Saints and Titans in the fantasy playoffs, which

549
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: should be good matchups for him.

550
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: So I mean it really depends.

551
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: And look, hey, there are people that I guess their

552
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 3: trade deadlines have not elapsed yet, so you should definitely

553
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: check that in your leaks because not everyone has the

554
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: same one they're you know, every platform is different and

555
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 3: then every league is different. So I would say, depending

556
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: on what you have to give out for him, of course,

557
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 3: But like he is a stud, and I'm so excited

558
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: about him. I think he's gonna like he'll go pretty

559
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: high in fantasy draft next year.

560
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I'm surprised.

561
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 4: I thought of Waddle as one of those speed guys

562
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: who is gonna.

563
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: Get not a lot of touches, and usually we talked

564
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: about this.

565
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 4: I don't like those guys in fantasy because, like I

566
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: think of like a Santana Moss or DeShawn Jackson where

567
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: you're just hoping you get that long play.

568
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: And last week Wattle got the long play.

569
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 4: He broke the long touchdown, as you recall, unfortunately, But

570
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: actually he's had the long play potential, but he's also

571
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 4: had a lot of catches. He's been like top ten

572
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: receptions for much of the season. So yeah, he surprised me.

573
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: I don't mind it. He's not getting much attention just

574
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: because you know, DeVante Smith has been great and Jamar

575
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: Chase was awesome, and Wattle was that other third first

576
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: round receiver and you know, looking like all all three

577
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 4: teams are feeling pretty good about it.

578
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't overpay for Wattle.

579
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's got a nice schedule coming up, and

580
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: it's one of those where you might catch the other

581
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 4: owner with Wattle thinking that he's selling high and if

582
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: you think, oh no, Wattle is just this good, that

583
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: might be a spot we're able to get him. I

584
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 4: need to ask those Samantha, since I know you saw

585
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: it buy or sell on Jalen Wattle's Wattle touchdown dance.

586
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: What do you think got it?

587
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: Mine? Carolina Panthers secondary were too full of mashed potatoes

588
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 3: to play, So.

589
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: I have given up on the season. I have given

590
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: up on Cam Newton. I know it took one game

591
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: to keep up on Cam Newton, but I've given up

592
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: on that. So it stincs. Thank you for rubbing salt

593
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: in that moon, though I'm.

594
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: Sorry about that. I was hopeful on Cam Newton. Also,

595
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: I'm actually I'm going to rearrange our order here because

596
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 4: we've got a Cam Newton questions. Let's just while the

597
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: salt is in the womb, let's just get it over with. So,

598
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: Jason Wrights, is cam Worth holding through the bye week?

599
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: The Falcons look juicy? But he can't help but feel

600
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: better off dropping him for someone like Carson Wentz. So

601
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 4: what do you think is Cam Newton even a name

602
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: to keep around? Five of twenty one last week? I mean,

603
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: could you have completed five of twenty one passes on

604
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: a football field? It feels like we could get close, right,

605
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's so embarrassing.

606
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: It was like a KBR of five. And then PJ.

607
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: Walker comes in is not even much better, but he

608
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: looks better just because Cam was that bad. So who knows,

609
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: like if he's even gonna I don't know, Like who

610
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: knows if he's going to start. I don't think they're

611
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: going to start PJ. Walker, Like now they paid him

612
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: and like they kind of have to. But I am

613
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: so fine with you dropping him through the bye Like

614
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: I think he might not be picked up in a

615
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: lot of leagues. Like if you were to drop him,

616
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: and then if you really wanted him next week against

617
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: the Falcons. I think that there's a good chance he

618
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: would still be there. Like you may have to use

619
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: fab but like there's a good chance. And like Carson Wentz,

620
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: I like way better rest of season. It's like, I

621
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: just like the Colts offense better. The schedule is kind

622
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: of tough. He's got Houston than the Bye, than New England,

623
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: Arizona and the Raiders, So I mean, I would say

624
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: schedule wise, they're kind of similar, But I just like

625
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz a lot better. He's got a lot more

626
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: of a functional offense going and can actually throw the ball.

627
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: It's weird.

628
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about Cam Newton, at least I talked

629
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: about him as a possible league winner down the stretch.

630
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: The problem is he's also showing that he might be

631
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: a league loser. And when quarterback is the one position

632
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 4: you can't screw around with, like, it's so much better

633
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: to have a boring Carson the Wentz to just kind

634
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: of get you some points and not screw things up

635
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 4: too much.

636
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: A Kirk Cousins if.

637
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 4: You will, Like that's that's how That's why these guys

638
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: are getting paid one hundred million dollars to play quarterback.

639
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 4: It's the exact same reason, like, well, are you really

640
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: excited to have Carson or Kirk? This is a terrible

641
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 4: thing for me to say. I'm a Vikings fan and

642
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: a North Goota State fan. These are my guys, but

643
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: you're not excited about them. But you need someone, and

644
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 4: fantasy is the same way. You just you need to

645
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: get at least your twelve fourteen to fifteen points. What

646
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: you can't have is Cam Newton put up five of

647
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: twenty one and get you like three points because you

648
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 4: just lost that week, Like, you can't lose that much

649
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 4: ground at quarterback. So I think you have to cut

650
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: Cam Newton, like you you can't keep him around because

651
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna be tempted to play him. But now that

652
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: we know that he can have such a bad game

653
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 4: and even worse that they might just bench him in

654
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 4: the middle and he should have been benched. But if

655
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 4: that's a possibility in fantasy, like Carson Wentz is not

656
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 4: getting bench he could throw another left handed picksticks falling

657
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 4: in the end zone. He's not getting benched. So you

658
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 4: just you can't play camp. You have to cut them,

659
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: and you got to move on. It was a good gamble,

660
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: and I recommended the gamble, but it's you know, not

661
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: all gambles payoff. Hello, we're actual network.

662
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Cam is if Carson Wentz and Kirk Cousins

663
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: are like the safe mashed potatoes, Kim Newton is the

664
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: like six day old Thanksgiving leftovers that you're still having

665
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: your fridge.

666
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, maybe you could roll the dice, but

667
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't have the stomach for it.

668
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. That that is a perfect analogy. All Right, we've

669
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: got one more.

670
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 4: A lot of attention on that Dolphins Panthers game, So

671
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: let's go to a question from Oscar here.

672
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: Hey, Oscar, is the cropch not?

673
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: You sing me that?

674
00:31:58,880 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: Okay?

675
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: So Kirowanson, Now did Tua get legit? And can I

676
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 4: stream him if I need a quarterback this week?

677
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Tua, I mean, for all the flak that he takes,

678
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: he's actually been extremely accurate and he's QB twelve on

679
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: a per game basis since Week sixty was sealing with

680
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: that injury. Early season, Gine's have been slightly above a

681
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 3: average against fantasy quarterbacks this year, but they're not like fearsome.

682
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: They're not someone that I'm going to avoid in terms

683
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: of matchups, So I think he's definitely stream worthy, Like

684
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: if you really need someone to speak, if you happen

685
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: to have I don't know. I can't imagine you're starting

686
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannell or Baker Mayfields, but maybe you need a

687
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: camera replacement.

688
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I could, I could. I would be fine with starting Tua.

689
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: I'm a little lower on Tua than you, not that

690
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 4: you're really even that high on him, but I think

691
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: you really are scraping near the bottom of the barrel

692
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 4: if you're gonna play two of this week, Like, there's

693
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: not much ceiling there. He's not hitting too many long

694
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: plays usually he's doing like even I'm a skeptic on

695
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: two overall the numbers that it look like they're a

696
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 4: lot better, but there's a lot of RPO and a

697
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 4: lot of just short passes. Get the ball to my playmakers,

698
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: and that's fine. But there's not a ton of ceiling,

699
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: and it seems like that's kind of how they're built

700
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 4: the offense around him. The Giants' pass defense has been

701
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 4: pretty good too, so if you get this low ceiling

702
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: option against a slightly decent defense, it just feels like, Yeah,

703
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: if I'm choosing between him and Ryan Tannehill or Baker Mayfield.

704
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: That's a pretty low bar to cross, so I feel

705
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: decent about that. But like, even compared to the guys

706
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 4: are talking about Kirk Cousins or Carson Wentz, no chance

707
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm starting to over either of those guys. So, like,

708
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: if you're in a two quarterback league, yeah, he's a streamer.

709
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 4: Or if you're in a sixteen team league and there's

710
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: just not a lot of options, then I think yes,

711
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: but I would probably be I'd keep looking because he

712
00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: just doesn't excite me that much.

713
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: But like you agree that you would start Taysom Hill

714
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: over right.

715
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I was starting Taysom Hill over

716
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins in our PhD segment. So yeah, Taysom Hill

717
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: is definitely like the Taysom Hill is my new Cam.

718
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: Noon out with Cam in with Taysom. You know, we

719
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 4: get those running running.

720
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: Yards in there. I don't know what to go wrong,

721
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: et cetera.

722
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, okay, maybe get the right league, you might

723
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 4: be able to play them at tight end still if

724
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 4: you're lucky and then there's a second quarterback out there.

725
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, that was actually like a very funny

726
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: like argument on Twitter and just argument in general, like

727
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 3: the people who were like screening at each other in

728
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: leagues about like you are so unethical, and I mean

729
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: people were literally writing me to my mail bag at

730
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: the New York Post and asking like all these like

731
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: ethical questions, should we kick this person out of the leak?

732
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: Like good lord? I mean it's fantasy.

733
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: We all love fantasy, but like, don't break friendships over

734
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: someone starting Taysom Hill at Titan.

735
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it reminded me of this. I can't remember, but

736
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 4: this is maybe about a decade is shul Ago. So

737
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: Marcus Colston for the Saints when he was brand new

738
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: as a rookie. He was a very low drafted rookie.

739
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 4: I think he was maybe even like a seventh round

740
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 4: Dad Hofstra. Nobody knew who he was, including the people

741
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 4: that made the fantasy pages, and so he was just

742
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: kind of this tall beanpole dude. And he was a

743
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 4: tweener prospect. So we got listed a tight end ended

744
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 4: up being a really good rookie receiver for the Saints.

745
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: Like he led the team that year.

746
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 4: I think he had I don't know, something like a

747
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 4: thousand yards and seven or eight touchdowns, like really good

748
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 4: for a tight end, especially like and he on Yahoo

749
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 4: Leagues and I forget like Yahoo I think had him

750
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 4: as a tight end eligible and ESPN did and then

751
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: switched it after like two weeks, while Yahoo kept it

752
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 4: something like that.

753
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: So it was a whole thing the whole season long.

754
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: But he was one of those guys that you get

755
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: to the end of the year and you're like, which

756
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 4: players are showing up on the most champions and this

757
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 4: random Marcus Colston was like a top three on every

758
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 4: roster because he was a cheat code because he wasn't

759
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: even drafted in the leagues, Like he was just free

760
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: off of waivers as like a thousand yard tight end

761
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 4: after week one.

762
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, don't hit the player. Hit the game, all right.

763
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: Rich wants to know will the Buccaneers run the ball

764
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: more in December and January? So Leonard Urnett four touchdowns

765
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 4: last week, I'm guessing this is a four Nett sort

766
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: of question.

767
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 3: What do you think, Ian, It's really hard to predict

768
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: if they're just going to start running more. I mean,

769
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 3: I feel like they could start. There's a good chance

770
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: that leader in the season they start resting some of

771
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 3: their stars, just you know, to preserve them.

772
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: For the playoffs since they're all but a lock at

773
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: this point.

774
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean we saw playoff Lenny super Bowl

775
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: Lenny in super Bowl Forum last week. If you were

776
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: Leonard fournetted last week.

777
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: He made entitled to compensation.

778
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it just seems like it's like there's a

779
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: guy every week that has three or four touchdowns. It's

780
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 3: like Jonathan Taylor or Leonard Befoorida. So I mean, yeah,

781
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: I guess. I guess maybe they will run the ball more,

782
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I'm not Bruce Arians.

783
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: What do you think?

784
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 4: I also am not Bruce Arians, but I do think

785
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: that they're gonna you know, they've run the ball pretty

786
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: well this season.

787
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: They're there.

788
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 4: I was looking because I'm like this. I was looking

789
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 4: at offensive line run block grades on a Pro Football

790
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 4: Focus yesterday, and the long story short, Tampa Bay's offensive

791
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 4: line has been really good. Like Tom Brady is the

792
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 4: MVP favorite right now, Leonard Fournette was the joking MVP

793
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 4: favorite after you know, Johnson Taylor was the MVP with

794
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 4: the five touchdowns, then Fournette played them and got four touchdowns,

795
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 4: so you get like the hypothetical MVP belt after that one.

796
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: Can I wonder if the offensive line is the MVP

797
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 4: for this team, because they're keeping Tom in a clean

798
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: pocket for the most time back there, and they're opening

799
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: up a lot of holes for Fournette. He's been really good,

800
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 4: So I do think, you know, their power run game

801
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 4: especially has been very good, and I was dismayed. I've

802
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: had my Tom Brady MVP ticket, so I'm watching his

803
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 4: numbers all year long, and we got three times last

804
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 4: week like a vultured running back touchdown at the one

805
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: by not Tom Brady passing the ball into someone. So yeah,

806
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: you know, if they're gonna start doing that a little

807
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 4: bit more, then you definitely want these guys out there

808
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: for Nette. Looks like, you know, a pretty strong play

809
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 4: and it certainly as the weather gets a little worse

810
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: and you've got, you know, a nine hundred year old quarterback,

811
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 4: you might want to run the ball a little bit more.

812
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: So that makes a lot of sense.

813
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: Well, we'll check with Bruce, but I think I think

814
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 4: we agree that they might do a little more running here.

815
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it makes sense, and it's like you

816
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: got to read the hot hand and stuff. But Bruce

817
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: is also notoriously unpredictable with the running back situation, like

818
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: this could be the Ronald Jones game for all we know,

819
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: Like I don't think so, but like things like that

820
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: happen with his backfields, so we shall see. But yeah,

821
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: I could definitely see in it runnymore.

822
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 4: All right, we've got a question from Mark. Mark wants

823
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: to know which of the top running backs would be

824
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: likely to be shut down during the fantasy playoffs and

825
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 4: are their backups worth stashing. Though they recommended Najia Harris

826
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 4: possibly or Sakwan Barkley come to mind, What do you think?

827
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: What running backs did you see getting shut down?

828
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: So this question I assume they mean is just like

829
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: teams that are no longer ei they're no longer competitive,

830
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: so they don't care, or they have the division locked

831
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: up or something like that and they want to rest

832
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 3: their stars.

833
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: Is that how you interpreted this?

834
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

835
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 4: I think I interpreted even more less as a good

836
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: team resting because that probably doesn't happen until like the

837
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 4: last week or two anyway, So I think I interpreted

838
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 4: it more like Najia Harris. Like Najia Harris picks up

839
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 4: an injury of some sword, Pittsburgh loses again, and they're like,

840
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: all right, well, let's not risk our young guy. Let's

841
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 4: just let him rest and play whatever backup. You know,

842
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: So does anyone in that mold come to mind for you?

843
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: I mean that mold, I feel like, why waste James

844
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: Robinson on Jaguars? I mean, he feels like a good fit.

845
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: I mean, like some other guys that may fall into

846
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: like a different sort of category, like Ezekiel Elliott who's

847
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: dealing with injuries and stuff, like, I could see him

848
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: being not shut down completely. And I know, like Jerry

849
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 3: Jones says one thing, but like who knows if you

850
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: can trust that that's Jerry Jones. Like, so, I mean

851
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 3: I could see him tapering off in terms of workload

852
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 3: if if you know, they just want to preserve him,

853
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: and that could be problematic for the fantasy playoffs. I mean,

854
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: other guys, Washington's look good, So I don't necessarily want

855
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: to say Antonio Gibson or anything like that, because he's

856
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 3: definitely starting to look really healthy. So and even like

857
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: Leonard Fournette came to mind. Is just like they're very

858
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: competitive and maybe they don't need to like pound the

859
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: like pound him into the.

860
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: Ground before the playoffs. But he's also playing so well.

861
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: So I don't know that a ton of guys come

862
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 3: to mind, like Saquon Barkley for sure, as as this

863
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: person Wrack that is probably like the prime candidate for that.

864
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard because I can think of some of

865
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 4: these names like Saquan and Naje both make sense, but

866
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 4: also their situations are horrible. The only reason we're playing

867
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 4: those guys is because they're so talented despite the bad

868
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 4: offensive lines, despite everything else. So if you take them

869
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 4: out like at that, do I really want the backup

870
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 4: behind a terrible line not getting as many touches?

871
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

872
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: It's not that exciting. Dalvin Cook is an obvious one here,

873
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: but we're too late because he's obviously out.

874
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: For a bit now anyway.

875
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 4: But he's a guy that could you know, if it's

876
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: a trade question, you could gamble on training for Alexander

877
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 4: Madison and hope that maybe Cook just doesn't get healthy

878
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: again and you get Madison for the whole rest.

879
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: Of the season, not just for a week or two.

880
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: So I could see that sort of thing.

881
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, And I just like not a

882
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: ton of guys like I feel like come to mind, Like,

883
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: for instance, like Atlanta is not going to be competitive.

884
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: But for Patterson is also like not a super valuable

885
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: like high value asset. It's not like he's under a

886
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 3: sixty million dollar contract or whatever. So and so I'm

887
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: not sure that like we'll see him get shut down.

888
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 3: I don't know, like Darryl Henderson, because well, the Rams

889
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 3: are in a skid right now and he's really banged up,

890
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: and if for whatever reason they just like don't want

891
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: to keep playing him so much like Sony Michelle could

892
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 3: be a name that comes to mind. So I don't know,

893
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: maybe the Bears David Montgomery, if you consider him a

894
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: star running back.

895
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: The wheels could start coming out like that one. The

896
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: wheels could start coming off at some.

897
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: Point on that on that and they want to they

898
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 3: want to save him, so we could you could maybe

899
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: a roster Khalil Herbert.

900
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, I think that's a good one.

901
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 3: I like that.

902
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: And I think the problem here thinking about this is

903
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 4: that like twenty five of the thirty two teams still

904
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 4: think that they're in the playoff hunt because we have

905
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 4: so many mediocre records. So it's like two weeks from now,

906
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 4: some of the teams will have fallen out, you know,

907
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 4: like the Giants probably will be out, the Dolphins probably

908
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 4: will be out, but we don't know yet. And so

909
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 4: these teams still like they're not going to show anyone

910
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: down right now. Right now, they're trying to make their push.

911
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 4: So it's I guess my recommendation would be to look

912
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: at the schedule and see who you think of these

913
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 4: mediocre like the wild card, fringy sort of teams who

914
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: loses the next couple of weeks and falls out and

915
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 4: then maybe grab a running back from that team. But yeah,

916
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: no great name, great question, but no great names that

917
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 4: come to mind here. All right, we got a couple

918
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 4: more here and then we'll get you out of here.

919
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 4: So from Steve, Steve says, every season, it seems there's

920
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 4: some random running back that makes it into a lineup

921
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 4: in the semis and finals. Similar question here, So who

922
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 4: are some targets that might be worth looking at that

923
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 4: have some high upside if called into duty, but low

924
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 4: ownership right now? So he mentions obviously Chuba, Hubbard and Hilliard.

925
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 4: Is it somebody like Ronald Jones or Nuanglu that is

926
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 4: these We're closing with two great questions for you, are

927
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 4: fantasy expert, give me some names that are deeper down

928
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 4: the list that you have your eye on.

929
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: Jamar Jefferson is less than one percent rostered on Yahoo Leagues,

930
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 3: so he's a rookie and didn't see any playing time

931
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 3: until Jamal Williams went out. Well, DeAndre Swift is going

932
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 3: to miss multiple weeks, so I think it's Jefferson that's

933
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: going to back him up. And I mean Jamal Williams

934
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: has dealt with a ton of injuries this year, so

935
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: if for whatever reason, they're down another running back, he

936
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: could be featured. I mean, we're looking at guys that

937
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 3: are not this is this is really scraping the bottom

938
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 3: of the barrel.

939
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: So I mean smj P.

940
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 3: Ryan. He's a very valuable insurance policy. I think for

941
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon. Now he's not a Joe Mixon is not

942
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: a guy that I think is going to be shut down,

943
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: especially since he's a really like a second half type guy.

944
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: And the Bengals are you know, well they are very

945
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 3: much in the race. So smash ap Ryan five percent.

946
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: He would be very valuable if anything were to happen

947
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: to mix in. I mean, we talked about Tie Johnson

948
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: a little bit Jeff Wilson. I mean, those guys are

949
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: in the thirties, so that may fall outside of your

950
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: your range. Her Jarrett Patterson, if something were to happen

951
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: to Antonio Gibson's shin again, we could definitely see him

952
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: pick up some carries. Since Jadie McKissick is really not

953
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 3: like a traditional rusher or anything like that. He's one

954
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: percent rostered and he did see eleven carries in one week.

955
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 3: Amer Abdullah at four percent rostered. Now that CMC is

956
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: out and Chuba Hubbard is whatever, so I mean if

957
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 3: he gets injured too. I mean a lot of these

958
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 3: require injuries for them to end up making it in

959
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: lineups in the semis and finals. So yeah, I mean

960
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: Tony Jones Junior, who was a popular ad this week,

961
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 3: didn't do much with Kamara and Ingram out, but that said,

962
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: like both guys, I mean, Kamara's good injury issues in

963
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: Ingram's one hundred and eighty years old, so it may

964
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: be worth taking a look there.

965
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: What about any names.

966
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 4: From you, Yeah, I think out of all those names,

967
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 4: I'm just going from your list here, but the two

968
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: that stood out to me are and I'm really I'm

969
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 4: going here for situation. So Jeff Wilson maybe a little

970
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: bit of a cheat on this question, Like you said,

971
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 4: about a third of the league's he's.

972
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: Owned and already. But I'm a big Elijah Mitchell guy.

973
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 4: I've still got my long shot five hundred to one

974
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year ticket on him. But I do

975
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: think Mitchell is going to have a big close of

976
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: the season because once Brent Williams came back, their left

977
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 4: tackle for the Niners, and George Kittle, like those those

978
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 4: are the two best players on San Francisco's offense, and

979
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 4: their offense has been about as good as anyone since

980
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 4: those guys have come back in the lineup.

981
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: They're scoring a lot of points.

982
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 4: Elijah Mitchell looks healthy and is getting the carries, like

983
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 4: you have to trust him at this point if you

984
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: have him, but he also is banged up and he

985
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 4: was a question mark even heading.

986
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 2: The last week so hurt.

987
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: So like they may need to even run the ball more.

988
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And you know Deebo's getting some of

989
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 4: the runs anyways, so they're gonna have to spread out

990
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 4: the carries with some of the running backs a little

991
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 4: more too, So Jeff Wilson is a guy that if

992
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 4: Elijah gets hurt again, he could definitely be a guy that, like,

993
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 4: you want him in your line up at that point

994
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 4: for sure. So he stuck out the other one too,

995
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 4: Tony Jones that that seemed like an answer that sort

996
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: of fit the last question too. Alvin Kamara might be

997
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 4: that guy that gets shut down. The Saints are kind

998
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 4: of on that fringe, mark Ingram is on a different

999
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 4: fringe of existing for a very long time. So and

1000
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 4: the thing too with Tony Jones is the Saints' offensive

1001
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: line should get a little healthier soon once they get

1002
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 4: both their tackles back. And I love to have a

1003
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 4: running back on a team with a mobile quarterback because

1004
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 4: those sort of running backs, I think Baltimore running backs

1005
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: here and hasn't worked this year because they're playing all

1006
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 4: the other ancient but I was high on, you know,

1007
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 4: the JK. Dobbins and Gus Edward's coming to the year

1008
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 4: because you get your running quarterback, you're taking out one

1009
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 4: or two of the defender's eyes and just hand it

1010
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 4: off to whoever the running back is is going downhill

1011
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 4: right up the middle. And I don't know, Tony Jones

1012
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 4: could maybe end up being a better version of that

1013
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 4: than marketing room at his advanced age and snaps.

1014
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: So those two intrigued me.

1015
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 4: And you know, I think New Orleans certainly will be

1016
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 4: a more run centric team as long as Tasma starting.

1017
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: So those are the two that stood out. Jamar Jefferson,

1018
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: he's cap for sure.

1019
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: I was.

1020
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 4: I picked the Browns to shut out the Lions a

1021
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, and I was feeling great and

1022
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 4: then suddenly, out of nowhere, some dude, Jamar Jefferson plus

1023
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: off like an eighty yard touchdown around right on my

1024
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 4: redstone scream. I'm like, who is this guy? And why

1025
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: is he ruining my fifteen to one bet? So no

1026
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 4: to Jamar Jefferson, zero percent owned.

1027
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: Stay that way.

1028
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 3: That's not at all a personal right that you have

1029
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 3: with Jamar Jefferson. Sorry, Mr Jefferson's grandmother. Time Montgomery is

1030
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 3: your point about the Saints. Time Montgomery is a has

1031
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 3: dual eligibility as a receiver in running back, and he

1032
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: saw twenty nine snaps last week. So he's a guy

1033
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 3: that I'm making my eye onto in deep deep leagues

1034
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 3: because he's also under one percent rostered. So if you're

1035
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: really looking for those guys that are like just completely

1036
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: off the radar.

1037
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and this is the right time too, Like,

1038
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 4: you guys are right to be asking these questions because

1039
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 4: at this point of the season, like, don't keep your

1040
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 4: your backup picker, don't ever have a backup kicker ever,

1041
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 4: don't keep the backup tight end around, don't keep a

1042
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 4: backup defense. Like this is the time you got to

1043
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: you got to manage your roster differently, Like it's now

1044
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 4: as you get to the playoffs, you got to just

1045
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 4: get rid of that guy that you have, like your

1046
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 4: fifth receiver, whotys you six or seven points and is

1047
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 4: your like break in case of emergency sort of option.

1048
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 2: Get rid of them.

1049
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 4: There's no more emergencies. It's it's time to play your

1050
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 4: best guys. So clear out the roster spots and like

1051
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: get these sort of guys on your roster because the

1052
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 4: other guy, the seven point a game receiver, is nothing

1053
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: to you. He's not gonna stay your season. One of

1054
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 4: these guys might if they hit. So these are the

1055
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 4: right sort of questions. You just have to gamble a

1056
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 4: little bit and hope you find.

1057
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: The right name. All right.

1058
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 4: One last question from Johnson in Wisconsin, which teams are

1059
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 4: players should Johnson be targeting for a playoff run based

1060
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 4: on favorable schedules.

1061
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: So you've got some good names here. This one is

1062
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 2: all you. Who do you like down the stretch here?

1063
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I identified five teams that I like their

1064
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 3: their playoff schedules. Now they're not all the sexiest teams,

1065
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 3: but we'll start with the forty nine ers. They have

1066
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 3: a pretty soft schedule down the stretch and then they

1067
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 3: have Atlanta, Tennessee and Houston.

1068
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: During the fantasy playoffs.

1069
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: So I love George Kittle right now as a bilo,

1070
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: especially with Deebo Samuel going out.

1071
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell if.

1072
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's a little banged up, but

1073
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm super high on him rest of the seasons. So, uh,

1074
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: those are guys that I would be looking at from

1075
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers. Maybe you'll Brandon Nyuk if you

1076
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 3: haven't believe in him, but he's burned me. He's in

1077
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: my cat book as well. So we talked about the

1078
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 3: Jets having a very soft schedule rest of season. They've

1079
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 3: got Miami, Jacksonville, and Tampa Bay, so no running backs there.

1080
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 3: But I do like Elijah Moore if he can reintroduce

1081
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 3: himself to Zack Wilson.

1082
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: That would be nice.

1083
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 3: But Cardinals have a nice have a nice schedule. They've

1084
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: got Detroit, Indianapolis, and Dallas during the Fantasy playoffs, So

1085
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 3: I mean, take your pick from the guys that I

1086
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 3: really like zach Ertz as a possible trade target because

1087
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 3: he's looked really, really strong, and you don't know, I don't,

1088
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins could come back

1089
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 3: to this game, but it's not like he's a target monster,

1090
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 3: so I could definitely see Earth's still getting targets there.

1091
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: The Eagles playing in one of the softest divisions they do.

1092
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: You get Washington.

1093
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 3: Twice and the Giants during the Fantasy playoffs, so that

1094
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 3: is a nice schedule. Now, I'm not gonna, in good

1095
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: faith tell you to go target Jalen Hurts, really but

1096
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: Davonta Smith coming off of a little bit of a

1097
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 3: tough game, and then Dallas Goddard could be interesting targets

1098
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 3: maybe for a deeper league, and then the Cowboys. Finally,

1099
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: they've got another soft couple games in the playoffs with

1100
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 3: the Giants, Washington and then Arizona, which is a little tough,

1101
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: but I would still I think there's still worth targeting,

1102
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 3: so you could probably go out there and grab especially

1103
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 3: Mari Cooper you can grab on the real cheap but

1104
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott come to mind.

1105
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: All right, that will do it for this long mailbag episode.

1106
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: As a reminder, Sean Kerner and Chris Raybon are here

1111
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 3: with I believe it's John Paulson from four for four,

1112
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 3: so that will be a really really fun episode, and
