Speaker 1: sit him this week. Good stuff, Elliott, Marcus, what's up?

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Molly. I know Lashawn McCoy's production has been shady

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: so far this year, but I'll give you a reason

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: you should feel confident going forward. Marcus, you're thinking about shady,

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about my mom, a breast cancer survivor. Breast

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Cancer Awareness Month starts today and you know what. NFL

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: healthy again. Hey. By the way, how's your fantasy team

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: doing in our NFL Fantasy Live? Like, I know you

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: had to auto pick, but sometimes it works out. Yeah,

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I didn't. I lose a really close one to you.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: You did, Yeah, that one at the end of that

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks game and Winch scored the touchdown. Yeah, it's it's

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: not doing so hot, this guy undefeated. What's your record

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: right now? I'm taking mowing four and all the ys

29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: and me that that are one and three. It's pretty sure. Alright, guys.

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: We know the Patriots offensive struggled mightily. Tom Brady seems

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to have noticed as well. Wednesday morning, he spoke with

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: Boston area w e I radio regarding the Patriots offensive woes. Well,

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: there's no magic play, there's no magic scheme. It's it's

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: us as players playing a lot better than we're playing.

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: And it's this it's haunded be in an isolated incident.

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: I don't think offensive we've offensively, we've played well all year.

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't think we played well for a long time. So, uh,

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta figure out the reasons why we're

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: not playing as well as were capable and try to

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: improve them. That sounds right there, like a frustrated Tom Brady,

41
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: about as frustrated thing as I've ever heard him. Is

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: there any chance the Patriots offense does get back on track? Though,

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Sure there's a chance, But the offensive line's got to improve.

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: I mean that's been a big, big problem for New

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: England so far this year, and the offensive plus Brady,

46
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: if you watch the games, I mean, he hasn't been

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: as accurate. Maybe that's part of the reason press the

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: offensive line is is not doing its job and he's

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: getting defensive pressure. Let me just say this, I agree

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: with that sound by completely. I hear people in green

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: tie sit up at deaths like this and talk about

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots system. What's the Patriot system? Let me tell

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: you what a system is. It's pass blocking, it's receivers

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: that constructs the field, it's making good throws. It's the

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: same in all thirty two, with all thirty two teams.

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: The Patriots just aren't doing that. I mean, there's no

57
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: mystique to it. If I can make a counter argument, though,

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady has been great at erasing a

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes. His slight movements in the pocket have

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: always been really good in terms of eluding the pass rush,

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: and he's been he's been making stars out of regular

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Joe wide receivers his entire career. We're not seeing that

63
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: this year, not at all all. Right in Green Bay,

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Joe with Jr. Told

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he thinks that the old Greg

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Jennings is back. He said quote, I don't know if

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: he was hurt or what happened last year, but he

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: looks like the old Greg Jennings. He's fast, he's quick,

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: he's elusive, he's really creative in his route running. So

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: we really have a challenge. Guys. I gotta ask you

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: how much fantasy truth is there in that statement? Not

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: too much, because I hadn't say Greg Jennings put up

73
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: good number some standard leagues. That's that's coach speed. As

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerning, Yeah, I wouldn't put too much

75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: stock in it. You know, at first, when I saw

76
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: this quote, I thought, Oh, he's saying Greg Jennings is olds. Okay,

77
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: that's not what he's saying. I'm with fads. You know,

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: and you have a rookie quarterback starting. And I'm not

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: saying that Bridgewater is gonna be great, but don't you

80
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: have better options now? By weeks? I get it, So

81
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: I think you have better options that Greg Jennings is

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: a classic bench player to be fantasy. He's been okay though,

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: seven points in each of the last two weeks. If

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: you have to want no but ex exactly, I mean PPR,

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: different story standard, I gotta see more. There you go.

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Carolina. In Carolina, and injury

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: riddled backfield continues to confuse fantasy owners. Jonathan Stewart, who

88
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: injured his ankle in Week three, was originally thought to

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: be out multiple weeks, but was back at practice Wednesday.

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams, meanwhile, he was in a walking boot earlier

91
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: this week, and tweeted out this photo of him today

92
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: in a hardcast. I don't think he's gonna be back

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: any time soon, with the quote here love this girl

94
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: he's talking about. I believe his daughter there. But you

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: know the thing that sticks out to me is that

96
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: hard cast. So the question is what's the impact now?

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: In Carolina? I think Darren Reeves was a hot waiver

98
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: wire pick up this week as well. Right, well, if

99
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Stewart can play, then he's going to be the guy

100
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: you want to go after in fantasy if you're really

101
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: desperate for a flex starter. Other than that, I don't

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: seek too much value here. Yeah, I I avoid the

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: Panthers running backs. I'm sorry, I just do at. I'll

104
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: call it. Even when they're healthy, I generally avoid them.

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I agree the bow is nice though. Yeah. Absolutely all right,

106
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: time now to bring the rest of our crew. Molly

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: Caram and Marcus Grant join us with more James. Thank you, Molly.

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Here alongside NFL dot Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grant and Marcus.

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: It is that time of the week when we look

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire and guys who we can pick up.

111
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: And here's a few players that are available in fifty

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: or more of leagues about Larry Donnell, Justin Hunter, Kirk Cousins,

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, Andre Williams, Joe Flacco. So we've got a

114
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: variety of positions there, but let's begin with the tight end.

115
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: Marcus and Larry donnelle we heard Manning to Dennell quite

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: a bit there on Thursday Night Football. Do you expect

117
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: this to continue moving forward. I absolutely do. He has

118
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: been one of Eli Manning's favorite targets from the beginning

119
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Victor Cruz is starting to work in

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more, which is encouraging. But Danelle is

121
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: a big body guy who's still learning to play the position,

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: but very athletic and more importantly, he's a target around

123
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the red zone, makes tough catches and really has been

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: able to go up in traffic make a lot of

125
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: good plays. I think Eli Manning and Larry Then now

126
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: is starting a nice bromance. Yes, there seems to be

127
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a rhythm happening for the New York Football Giants. Let's

128
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: move on to another young Titan, Travis Kelsey. He had

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: a huge day against the New England Patriots on national team.

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: He absolutely did. And this is a guy that we

131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: talked about in the preseason was a deep sleeper. Then

132
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: he's no longer a deep sleeper. He might even be

133
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: a sleeper anymore. He's just a guy you want to

134
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: plug in into your lineup. The tight end position is

135
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: so thin, and Alex Smith seems to like finding Kelsey.

136
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: And he's an athletic guy. I mean, he loves to

137
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: make people miss. He's really good at it. He is

138
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the guy I think you gotta have on your roster,

139
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: and for perspectives sake, he has the seventh most Fantasy

140
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: points among tit ends. And we just mentioned Eli Manning.

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: Everybody doubted him. Not this girl. Is this going to continue?

142
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: And he has receivers and Titans that are catching balls. Yeah,

143
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a QB one. I think he's

144
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: a QB two, a guy you have on your bench,

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: you play in a bye week situation. But watching them

146
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, it looks like this team

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: is starting to figure out some of the concepts Ben

148
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: McAdoo has in that new offense. They were awful in

149
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: the preseason. They were shaky the first couple of weeks,

150
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: but I think they're starting to figure it out. And

151
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Eli is looking a lot more confident with where he's

152
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: delivering the football. Oh yeah, I believe an Elie two

153
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: super bowls. That means something. James Jones, what do we

154
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: do here? They have a bye week in Week five,

155
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: but he is available in more of leeks. Yeah, he's

156
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: a guy that maybe this week you're not really thinking

157
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: about so much. But He's a guy to keep in

158
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: your back pocket simply because he is a veteran president

159
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: on a reader team that is sorely lacking any kind

160
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: of real playmakers. We saw whether it was there in car,

161
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: whether it's been Matt mcboy and they were looking in

162
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: James Jones's directions. So he's a guy maybe a stash

163
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: of with you have the roster space and in buying week,

164
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: in those kind of situations, he might find a use

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: for him. Hey, I said, body and speaking of good bye,

166
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: but you're the expert. Those are the most added. Let's

167
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: get into the most dropped and here's the top ten

168
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: most drop players on NFL dot com per cousins after

169
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: that bad performance jumping off given him, Kosh exactly and

170
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Bobby Rainio we all saw that one, same same type deal.

171
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Now with Paul Donald Brown and Tonio Gates and Ild Davis.

172
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of these guys. No, Donald Brown,

173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: there's no one really there in that backfield, So I

174
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: would think you'd hang on to him. I know he

175
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: had a bad game, tough matchup. What do we do? Yeah,

176
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: right now, this is what I'm really down on Donald Brown.

177
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: I thought more of him when the Chargers lost so

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: many of their running backs. But he's not He's not

179
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's making people miss. He hasn't gotten in

180
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: the end zone in the last four games. Like you

181
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: see there, he's struggling to get the corner aline on

182
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: a regular basis like that. I mean, that's nice. If

183
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: he was doing that regularly, I wouldn't be so worried

184
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: about it. But because he's been a two yard per

185
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: carried guy most often, and now he's going up against

186
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: a tough Jets run defense, I'm really down on Brown.

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: Maybe try to hold onto him because the Chargers don't

188
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: have anybody else. But if you're short of space on

189
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the roster, I understand saying goodbye this week's a bad play.

190
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Jets allowing the fewest points per game to running backs

191
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: this year. Let's move on to another running back. So

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, we saw him. The man is back. So

193
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: what is this do for niald Davis? Do we cut ties? No?

194
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I think you hold on a Nile Davis. I mean

195
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles is back. Yes, that certainly is going to

196
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: decrease the number of touches he gets. But we see

197
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: he's an explosive guy. Even when he's not getting a

198
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: ton of carriage, you hold onto him. The Chiefs are

199
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: going to use Nile Davis to try and rest Jamal Charles.

200
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: I think you'd give him a chance to keep him

201
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: on your roster. Let's move on to the Eagles. I

202
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of options in this offense, but

203
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: is it too soon to let go of Jordan Matthews.

204
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: He still seems better than some of the other options.

205
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely too soon to give up on Jordan Matthews. I

206
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: know he didn't do much last week, but then again,

207
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense as a whole didn't do much last

208
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: week against the forty niners. There are too many targets

209
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: there and I think eventually Jordan Matthews is gonna surpass

210
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper in terms of targets for Nick Foles in

211
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: that Eagle offense. All right, we had to the quarterback

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: position in one Tom Brady. Is it time to say

213
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: audios to Tommy? It is time to wave goodbye to

214
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I know it's hard to do, but just

215
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: take the name off the back of the jersey and

216
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: look at the production. It hasn't been there. And if

217
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: you heard the guys mentioning the offensive line play has

218
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: been bad. He's not very accurate right now. There's so

219
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: many issues there. There are a lot of better guys

220
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: out there available, even talking about some of the rookies

221
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: like Bridgewater. Maybe not this week, but Tom Brady, it's

222
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: just it's time to say goodbye. Yeah, we gotta do

223
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: the pageant wave to Tommy. He deserves at least that, right, Yes, Okay,

224
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: hopefully thanks turn turn around for the Patriots soon. I

225
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: would never count out Tom Brady and Bill Belsha, but

226
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: that's in real coming up next. With such a thin

227
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: line between fantasy and reality in the season, the experts

228
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: are here to help analyze the true value of an

229
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: optimistic rookie. The Seahawks tea in the unpredictable Cowboy stick Around,

230
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Won't You? And later it's every fantasy owner's worst nightmare,

231
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: or a quarter of the season is over and there

232
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,479
Speaker 1: are too many stars who faded into a fantasy disappointment

233
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: for your team, And there's NFL Fantasy Live powers ahead. Next.

234
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Molly carame alongside Elliott Harrison,

235
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: Michael Fabriano, and an original member of NFL Fantasy live

236
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore one. Dave Damage, Dave, thanks so much for

237
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: joining us. I didn't know we were still doing the show.

238
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: We are checked the ratings all right, were okay, I'm

239
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: ready to roll now. I have stuck with the fantasy

240
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: so I'm up to speak. Okay, we appreciate it. Thank

241
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: you for making the time to join us. Mere people here.

242
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get into the difference between fantasy

243
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: and reality and it can be quite different. And let's

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: start with the Super Bowl champs and their defense. We

245
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: witnessed them losing San Diego a few weeks ago. What's

246
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: the reality of the Seahawks defense on the road and

247
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: fantasy fabs break this down for us. Well, a lot

248
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: of people saw that game and think, oh, well, the

249
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense can be had on the road. I shouldn't

250
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: be worried about starting any of the Washington Redskins. But honestly,

251
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: that's really not the truth if you look at it.

252
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: On the road their last six games, they're only allow

253
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: allowing an average all about ten Fantasy points per game

254
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. All right, They've only allowed passing yards per

255
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: game in their last five road contest, one receiving touchdown

256
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: allowed to wide receivers this season. That is the fewest

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And just because there was

258
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: that one hiccup doesn't mean that you go out and

259
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: start all these players when they're going against the Seahawks

260
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: on their home field. Listen in Seattle, I mean they're

261
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: they're on their impenetral, they're unbelievable. But on the road

262
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: they're not as good. But they're still very, very solid.

263
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Look at these numbers, allowing only thirteen fantasy points to

264
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers per game. Tight ends. Now that number is

265
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: high because Gates had three touchdowns against them in a

266
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Week two, but the wide receivers did nothing. I still

267
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: fear the Seattle defense, even if it's not in Seattle.

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: And we should mention that that road contest was in

269
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: stifling heat. There were in their dark jerseys and they're

270
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: playing against the MVP of the league right now, Philip Rivers,

271
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: wait a second, all valid points, but the last ninety

272
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: seconds of our lives were ever gonna get back. Why

273
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: would you ever sit to Seattle Seahawks defense are number one?

274
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: Would you say, Peyton Man, I have a league where

275
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: they were dropped and I picked him up for because

276
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: of what Philip Rivers was able to do. So I

277
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: think that's the point that you're alluding to, and it's

278
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: more a matchup based thing. Don't be uh, don't be

279
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: so so quick to start guys against Seattle because they're

280
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: not at home, they're on the road, they're not as good.

281
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: They are as good. Okay, So, speaking of being weary

282
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: of starting quarterbacks against Seattle's defense, and obviously we're going

283
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: to play Seattle's defense weekend and week out their future

284
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: road games moving forward at the Rams, at the Panthers,

285
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: and at Chief. So the only really fantasy relevant quarterback

286
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: there would be Cam Newton and he hasn't even been

287
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: that good this season so far. So we call that

288
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: danger zone right there. All right, let's move on to

289
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: another fantasy versus reality topic. The reality is that there'll

290
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: be some rookie quarterbacks who start, like Jaguars quarterback Blake Bordles.

291
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: But what's the fantasy versus reality implications here, Dave Oh,

292
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: I definitely am rolling with Blake Boardles if you don't

293
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: have a high end quarterback option right now. We've been

294
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: talking about it for a year, way back to the

295
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: days of Tim Tebow, if you've got a guy who

296
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: can make some plays with his legs at the QB spot,

297
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: then those points are, like Fabriana was fond of saying,

298
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: they count just as much as the passing ones did more.

299
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: And really things set up beautifully for Blake Bordles. He

300
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: runs with the ball when things break down to him,

301
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: he can sling it. He's got a gaggle of nice

302
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: young wide receivers there, and as it happens in reality,

303
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: this Jaguars team is going to be playing from behind

304
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot that means throwing the ball more than usual.

305
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Blake Bordles is a great option

306
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: right now. All right, let's move on with the quarterback conversation, guys,

307
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: and let's turn our attention to the man everyone loves

308
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: to hate. Well not on this set, Elliott. That would

309
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: be one Tony Romo. Now, in reality he appears to

310
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: me to be killing it out there, but how about

311
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy, Well, he is killing it out there, and

312
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: people may not realize that, Molly, but here's the thing,

313
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Tony Romo killing it in reality is not killing it

314
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: for your fantasy team. Because a great game for Tony

315
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Romo is going to be twenty ten yards and two

316
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns because they are so committed to running the football

317
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: right now that in fantasy, he's matchup base. And by

318
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: matchup base, I mean who's your other quarterback facing. If

319
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: your other quarterback has a bad matchup, then go ahead

320
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: and put Tony Romo in there. But the way to

321
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: Marco Murray and the offensive line are playing, you just

322
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: can't rely on Tony Romo every week. If Andrew Luck

323
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: has a great game, in reality, it's four hundred yards

324
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns because the Colts lean on him a

325
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: lot more than the Cowboys are leaning on Romo and Eily.

326
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: To support what you're saying here, let's take a look

327
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: now at the Cowboys play distribution and part of the

328
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: reason he's playing so well as they're running the ballmark

329
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: right well, I mean you look at that that fifty.

330
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: That means they're running fifty point eight percent of the

331
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: time and throwing at forty point two. That's third highest

332
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So look fantasy, a lot of time,

333
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: it's just about opportunity. Who's getting the most We talk

334
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: about with wide receivers, who's getting the most targets. That's

335
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna get fantasy points the same thing.

336
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: If Romo is only throwing passes, it's just not gonna

337
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: be enough for you. This is the perfect example of

338
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: fantasy versus reality. The reality is as long as the

339
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Mark Humber he's making yards behind that road grading offensive line.

340
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Romo doesn't need to throw the ball. In fact, in

341
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: all three of the Cowboys victories now he's throwing the

342
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: ball fewer than thirty times. That's the formula for success.

343
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray obviously a little injury prone. Cowboys fans don't

344
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: want to see that happen to him. But that's about

345
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: the only way Tony Romo's fantasy numbers are gonna start

346
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: to spike up here and fabs. You know you've been

347
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: playing fantasy a really long time. Remind you of Troy

348
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: when the nineties, great reality quarterback, but you never wanted

349
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: Troy when starting for a fan example, never had a

350
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: four thousand yards season, but he was winning super bowls,

351
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: not super Bowls. And fantasy, right, these are the next

352
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: level things we need. People. Thank you so much, because

353
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: we do live in a fantasy world. At least I do.

354
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Here on we all do, right, Okay, thanks, good stuff,

355
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: guys coming up next. We're four weeks into the season.

356
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Would you have guests that Philip Rivers is a top

357
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: three fantasy quarterback? Yeah, me, neither. We've got Fantasy surprises

358
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: that's coming up two. Hey, now, Michael Crabtree, Keenan Allen

359
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: into Shawn Jackson. What don't they all have in common?

360
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: Will they're on Michael fabian a stardom and sit them list?

361
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: We're at well, you'll have to stay and sign up,

362
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: don't go anyway. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Guys,

363
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: were one fourth of the way down with the season

364
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: with the quarter poleasing man, don't say that so fast?

365
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Just started? All right. Let's take a look at the

366
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: top fantasy leaders thus far. Some fantasy uh studs thus

367
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: far at the quarter pole, Andrew Luck. All right, Welcome

368
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live. Guys, were one fourth of

369
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: the way down with the season. What's the quarter pole?

370
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: That's depressing? It's going by too quick? It goes by

371
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: so fast. All right, Let's take a look at the

372
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: top fantasy leaders thus far. Andrew Luck at the top

373
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: of that list, surpassing guys like Peyton Manning. You don't

374
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: even see Drew Brees on that list, which has been

375
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: a little bit surprising. But of these guys, I mean

376
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, there's a ton of the surpriseect names I

377
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: would say on this list. I wouldn't say a ton,

378
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: but a few surprising names with man Philip Rivers. Absolutely

379
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: for the price you paid for him, has been a

380
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: great fun Yeah, no doubt. I mean, this is a

381
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: guy that some people were thinking of even as a

382
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: QB two. I mean, but I think we kind of

383
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: looked at last year when he was the number six

384
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: rated fantasy quarterback at the end of the season and thought, right,

385
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe this is a little bit of a fluke. But

386
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: it looks like the resurgence is real under Mike McCoy

387
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: and it certainly helps, and he has a lot of

388
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: his targets back. I mean that only is Keenan Allen there.

389
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: But Antonio Gates is looking better, Malcolm Floyd's return has

390
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: been a big boost of this offense, and even Eddie

391
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: Royal stepping up the last couple of weeks, it's helped

392
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: down a lot. So it's hard to pick your poison

393
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: if you're an opposing defense, and Philip Rivers right now

394
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: is just on point. He's bawling. Let's stay in San Diego. Eliott,

395
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: I know you've been surprised by the San Diego wide

396
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: receiver position. Explained, Yeah, well you know if you heard

397
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: me the earlier block. I think Philip Rivers, the MVP

398
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: of the league. He's calling Mike McCoy's offense for I'm

399
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and that's benefiting his receivers as

400
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: much Marcus as they are benefiting him. But the cool

401
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: thing is they're getting the chunk plays. They're getting the

402
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: vertical plays. It's not a bunch of five yard ends

403
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: and Danny Amdola specials none yard out, It's actually twenty

404
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: yard vertical plays. What I'm saying here is that Malcolm Floyd,

405
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal, these are guys that you should keep on

406
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: your bench. You don't drop them. I'm not saying you

407
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: start him every week, but they're productive enough and Rivers

408
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: is productive enough to keep them. What we what was

409
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: the ownership on Malcolm Floyd. You just looked it up

410
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: and it was like six to Eddie Royal? Is what

411
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Eddie Royals? Because members what he did? Lection I get it,

412
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: all right, Fabs, Let's let's go to you. You know

413
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: my brandshaw, however you cut it, whether you want to

414
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: talk about per game average, yards, per carry, point totals,

415
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: however you want to cut it. A MyD Branshaw has

416
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: been a top ten running back. I can't even get

417
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: the words out top ten. He's fourth right now, which

418
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: is amazing. And I know a lot of teams about

419
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: a buy already, so that doesn't that doesn't exactly mirror reality.

420
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: But he's been great. And this is a guy that

421
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now you want to sell high

422
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: on him because at some point he's going to get hurt.

423
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: This is a guy coming off a neck fusion surgery.

424
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: He has had put injuries his whole career. He is

425
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: an older guy too, at least for a running back.

426
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm forty one. I'm a lot older than he is,

427
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: but that's neither I'm young for a fantasy analyst there.

428
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I really think this is the time to sell high

429
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: on him. He's been great for the Dantashy points among

430
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: running backs. I can't believe that I'm saying it, but

431
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: it's true. Yeah, it's crazy stuff, Marcus. If we were

432
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: to talk early season fantasy m d P, look we

433
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: saw Andrew luck on that far, but no doubt to

434
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: Marco Murray is one of the top two fantasy players

435
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, absolutely, you know, and I think

436
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: we all thought he could have a good year. I

437
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: don't think we thought he would have this kind of season.

438
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: He's had more than a hundred rushard or a hundred

439
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: rush ars or more. I should say, what are more

440
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns at each of the first four games this season.

441
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: The guy has been fantastic, and I guess a lot

442
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: of it has to do with the fact that the

443
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been more of a run based offense than

444
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: we thought at the beginning of the year. As long

445
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: as he can hold onto the football and he's getting

446
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: a little bit better about that short then he avoid

447
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: those minus two's every week from him. It's a fantastic

448
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,239
Speaker 1: start that he also must avoid injury. We'll see how

449
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: that plays happen. Elliott. A lot was expected Toby Gerhart,

450
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: but thus far he's been as Marcus says on good Yeah, well,

451
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: age isn't really a concern and FABS is forty one.

452
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm a man forty uh you know what my surprise is,

453
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that everybody else is surprised that Toby Gerhard

454
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: isn't producing. I mean, the best this guy was gonna

455
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: be was about eight hundred fifty yards and eight touchdowns

456
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: he was, and he's probably not even gonna get there.

457
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: This guy was never gonna be a thirteen hundred yard back.

458
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't gonna happen. They didn't have the line, and

459
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the wiggle. That's not the kind of

460
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: player he is. So I'm shocked that people are shocked

461
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: that Toby Gerhardt isn't producing. Maybe not thirteen hundred, but

462
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: I think the people out there maybe expecting maybe eight

463
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns that would that was a high projection, Okay, Fred Taylor, listen, Gerhart,

464
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: no question a disappointment thus far. But of course he's

465
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: not alone in that regard. Uh, And there's no way

466
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: he's the biggest disappointments name. It's unreal how these guys

467
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: have struggled, Leshawn McCoy, Eddie Lacey, Monty Ball to Marrious stuff.

468
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you see those Denver Broncos on the earl.

469
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: How is this possible? How is this possible? And these

470
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: guys are disappointments, and yet there they are. Marcus look

471
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: there's been a fantasy freak out regarding Leshawn McCoy. Double

472
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: digit scoring weeks one and two. You thought he was cruising,

473
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: and then weeks three and four four points combined in

474
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: those two weeks. What do we do well? I think

475
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: you stay the course with McCoy. I mean, the good

476
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: news is that Lane Johnson is coming back being a

477
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: part of that offensive line match. It help open some holes. Plus,

478
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: I do think that Chip Kelly realizes Leshawn McCoy is

479
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: still the focal point of that offense. They've got to

480
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: get the football in his hands anyway they possibly can.

481
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: Shirt there in scrolls is nice. Jeremy macnun's played well,

482
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: but the Eagles go as Leshawn McCoy goes. So I

483
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: understand the freak out. I would exercise cause it I

484
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: would warrant patients. Things are going to get better. I'm scus.

485
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: I think you should drop him in the fantasy experts. Yeah,

486
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure. My auto pis Elliott. Tom Brady reminds me

487
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: of a great but aging boxer. Physically, he looks okay

488
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: when he's in there. Man, he's hesitating. He's not the

489
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: same guy. He's just slightly off in my right and

490
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: saying that, well, that's funny because he speaks highly of

491
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: you as an anchor. So but Tom Brady, I agree,

492
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: he is looking shown his age a little bit. But

493
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: you know more than that. It's not his age, it's

494
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: poor line play. They're playing a couple of rookies. He's

495
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: got what what when Edelman's you're one and Amundolas your two?

496
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: Grock does not look a hunter percent to me. I

497
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. He does not look as

498
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: explosive of the line. He gotta have help, man. I mean,

499
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: look at this play right there? Is that on Tom Brady?

500
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Or is that on your right tackle? So you're right,

501
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a disappointment as a fantasy player. But

502
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: is it because of reality? Is he? Is he really declining?

503
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so? Interesting? Alright? Uh fams to Maryus.

504
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Thomas called himself out this week. He said he needs

505
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: to play better fantasy wise. He's averaging almost a shockingly

506
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: low seven points per game. What do we make of

507
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: D two? H I get him now. I would aid

508
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: for him right now by low on da Marius Thomas

509
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: because this guy is going to come around sooner rather

510
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: than later. Right now, Emmanuel Sanders actually leads the Broncos

511
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: in targets and it's not even close. That's gonna change.

512
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Da Marius Thomas will end up being one of the

513
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: best water seas in fantasy football when the season is

514
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: all said and done. But guys, this is something that

515
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: we can't say we didn't expect Peyton and he was

516
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: not going yards again, fifty five touchdowns. He's on pace

517
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: for over four thousand yards. He's on pace for right

518
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: around forty eight touchdowns, forty four touchdowns. But he was

519
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: never gonna do what he did last season, and that's

520
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: hurt Da Marius Thomas's value a little bit, his stats

521
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I think he's gonna be fine.

522
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: How about Eddie Lacy, I mean Elliott, no one, I

523
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: mean no one has been a bigger fantasy disappointment than

524
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy. You can point to the schedule all you want,

525
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is he's averaging three yards per carry.

526
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: He doesn't look good out there. We just took all

527
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: the meat off the ball and that's exactly all right, James.

528
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: So where would you say Eddie Lacey went most drafts?

529
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: Fifth overall is a fair definitely top seven. Doubt you

530
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: needed better production, for sure. There's a combination of factors.

531
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: One concussion like symptoms after the Seattle game, poor offensive

532
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: line play, and you know what, Aaron Rodgers didn't exactly

533
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: come out firing guys. And it helps when you're passing

534
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: game is doing well so that the run game. Sometimes

535
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the past sets up the run. That said, ain't no

536
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: way I'm dealing Eddie Lacy right now. I have him.

537
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Hold on. You're holding onto it, you bet, absolutely. I

538
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of value he even has on

539
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: the trade market at this I don't care. Keep about there,

540
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: you go, Alright, make sure to join CBS and NFL

Speaker 1: got some stats that will make you think twice about

556
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: starting Cam Newton and stuck in a fantasy run. It

557
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: might be time to switch things up. Yeah, we're talking trades.

558

Speaker 1: that for you. We're here at your service. It is

567
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: time now for in the moment presented by the Lincoln

568
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Motor Company. You guys know the deal two minute drill.

569
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: We're going to rip through as many of these as

570
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: we can. We begin with the quarterback position. I can't

571
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: believe I'm asking this. Better start Peyton Manning or Philip Rivers.

572
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: No small talk, Marcus, Philip Rivers, Peyton Eanning is playing

573
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I'm going with Philip Rivers because the Jet

574
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: secondary has been as this year. So focused here, all right,

575
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Better add Tony Romeo or Eli Manning, And yes we're

576
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: talking OUTFC East, I'll go Eli. I think the Cowboys

577
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: are just going to hand off too much for your

578
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: fantasy taste. I like Eli as well. I think they're

579
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: starting to figure out Ben mcadoo's offense. And speaking of Eli,

580
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: part of the reason we're talking about him is one

581
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Larry Dnnell. Better add at the tight end position, Larry

582
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: Dennell or Travis Kelsey. I'm going Larry Donell just because

583
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: that West Coast often for the favorites getting the ball

584
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: to the tight end. I'm sure the three touchdowns didn't hurt.

585
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Travis Kelsey. I think he's gonna

586
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: be a big time tight end down the back half

587
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: of the schedule. Let's move to the wide receiver position.

588
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Better start Steve Smith Jr. Or Jeremy Macklin'. Go Jeremy

589
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: Macklin at home against those Rams. I think he's got

590
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: a huge day. I like Jeremy McK I just think

591
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: that offense is going to be more consistent. Who to

592
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: drop Alan Hearns or Jordan Matthews. I think I'm dropping

593
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns here because again I think the Eagles offense

594
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: is better than Jacksonville. Agree, Agree, Agree? Okay, another drop here?

595
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: Are we going Donald Brown or Kyrie Robinson going to

596
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: the backfield? That's tough for me. I would drop Kyrie.

597
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are gonna win on the arm

598
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: of Breece. Donald Brown's all the Chargers have right now

599
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: in the backfield. He really is plus mark Ingram's coming

600
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: back soon, and I think you know it's gonna phase out.

601
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: It is a tough matchup to your surface, all right,

602
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: All Sean Jeffrey or Michael Bennett trade? Can I say

603
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: neither neither? I'm not trading neither one. Really, jeez. I

604
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: think I think I'm gonna go with Bennett actually, just

605
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: because the tight end position is so thin? Are you

606
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: going with this? Fabs? October thing with Bennett. No, I think,

607
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be good all year. Okay, alright, you're

608
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: going to Mark tell Is Benett. There are we trading

609
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: pure carsone for Arian Foster. I do it, yeah, right now,

610
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: bas Man. And then Foster's his health is so shaky, Rightnywore.

611
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: You just don't know. Yeah, but I want Arian Foster. Yes,

612
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: so you want want rather deal pair Garsona and get

00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: a better start, Matt Ryan or Nick Foles, Matt Ryan

614
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: and Nicholes. I'm going Matt Ryan. I just Nick Foles

615
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: has been up and down this year. He's stowing more

616
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: picks than good. I'm going Nick Foles at home against

617
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: the ramsacam big day split decision. Good stuff, gentlemen. We

618
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: got through a bunch there that was in the moment

619
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: presented by the Lincoln Motor Company. Now to James and

620
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: Fab's gentlemen, they go the entire segment without mentioning her

621
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: pink wristbandse Yeah, how do they do it? She's like

622
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: wonder woman over there. That's good stuff. I'm specting, Molly.

623
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: All right. If you want to dominate your fantasy league,

624
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta get hardcore with the stats. Folks. Michael

625
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: Fabiano does it every week. He goes inside the numbers

626
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: and tells us which statistical trends you should be paying

627
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: attention to. This week, we're gonna start with Eli Manning,

628
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: the Giants hosting the Falcons this week. What did the

629
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: numbers tell you? Well, everyone's looking at Eli Manning like

630
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: he's one of the hottest quarterb and he has been.

631
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: But the Atlanta Falcons past defense on the road has

632
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: actually been pretty tough. If you look at the numbers,

633
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: this is one of those situations where it's sort of deceiving.

634
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: They're allowing two passing yards per game and their last

635
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: seven games on the road, Okay, that's not bad. One

636
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: game with one or fewer touchdowns. They have not been

637
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: a defense that you could score against. So again, let

638
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: me say, at least through the one or a fewer

639
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: touchdown passes six times in the last seven road games.

640
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: So the reason behind this is because teams are running

641
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: on Atlanta. If you look at the percentage of carries

642
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: that Atlanta is having faced in their last seven road games,

643
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: look at this, thirty six rushing attempts per game. They're

644
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: giving up almost a hundred eight rushing yards per game,

645
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: sixteen rushing touchdowns. Right now in the last seven road games,

646
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta is facing a team that's running the ball fifty

647
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: four point five percent of the time. James, that is

648
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: a ton. So if you have the Eli Manning and

649
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking, wow, this is a great start against Atlanta, well,

650
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: sure it's a great start Rashad Jennings, but not necessarily

651
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: for Eli. Because of this reason. Teams are running the

652
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: football down Atlanta's throat, and they should and Jennings will

653
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 1: be a great play this week. Eli Manning not so much. Again,

654
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta's past defense not bad because their run defense has

655
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: been so bad. You know, it's it's what you're telling

656
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: me here is that the the defense for the past

657
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: defense for the Falcons may not be great, but they're

658
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: not being happy. They're not being tested because they're being

659
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: pounded on on the ground. Is exactly almost of offensive

660
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: snaps are going to the run. I mean, it's unbelievable stuff. Alright,

661
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton at home this week taking on the pliable

662
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Bears defense. Newton hasn't been great as of latest twelve

663
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: points each of the last two weeks. What are the

664
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: numbers telling? Well, you see that the Bears past defense

665
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: is all banged up. They lost a lot of people

666
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: last week, but they're actually not giving up a whole

667
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points to quarterbacks when they're playing on

668
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 1: the road. And that's something that people have to keep

669
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: in mind that I know they're saying that all Cam

670
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Newton's gonna break out this year and they're gonna bust

671
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: him out. He hasn't been played, but look at the numbers. Okay,

672
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: in their last nine road games, they've only given up

673
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes. Do the math there. They've also picked

674
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: the ball off eleven times, and quarterbacks are averaging fewer

675
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: than fifteen fantasy buskers ging They have allowed three plus

676
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: passing yards once in their last nine road games. So

677
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they're a little bit banged up,

678
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: the numbers are telling me that I have to sid

679
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton at least start him, and temper my expectations

680
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: because this is not a favorable matchup. You might say

681
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: that it looks like one on paper, but really, when

682
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: I look deep into the numbers, it's not ten touchdown

683
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: passes in their last nine road games. That is not good.

684
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: James Michael Crabtree at home this week versus the Chiefs. Look,

685
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: he's been absolutely unpredictable this year. At Dallas, two points, okay,

686
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: against Patrick Peterson in Arizona, think he's gonna struggle. Now,

687
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: fourteen points. Then at home agains Philly, you think, okay,

688
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: he might blow out four points. They're right. What do

689
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: we make of Michael Crabtree. Well, looking at the matchup

690
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: this week, we're talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. Now

691
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: last week on Monday Night, they definitely held Tom Brady's

692
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: receivers in check, but that was at Arrowhead Stadium. Now

693
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: you're taking him on the road where the Chiefs have

694
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: not been as good as against wide receivers. In fact,

695
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: they've been really bad against wide receivers. And their last

696
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: four road games they've given up eighty four catches, over

697
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: two fifty receiving yards, and nine touchdowns. That's just four

698
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: games right there. Nine touchdown catches in their last four

699
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: games on the road. And this is why I love

700
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree this week. I'm not worried about Crabtree coming

701
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: off of the game last week where he only scored

702
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: four Fantasy points because honestly, Colin Kaepernick missed him on

703
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: a slant should have been a touchdown, So start crab

704
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: treat with confidence against Kansas City, Say are not good

705
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: against the pass on the road? Good stuff, great numbers

706
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: all right, Still to come, the Hall of Famer Michael

707
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Fabiano will return to share his Week five stardoms and

00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: for Michael Fabriano and his world famous started the sinnam

719

Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Start Sitting. You could find his

723
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: complete list there, all right, let's start the running back position. Mike,

724
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: of course the most popular. One of the most popular

725
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: positions there Rashan Jennings. Starter. Sit this guy well. I

726
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: like that promo because you have to find this giant

727
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: and start him, because you will not see a better

728
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: matchup among running backs this week now. Jenning's right now

729
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: fifth and fantasy points among running backs. He's been phenomenal.

730
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta has a lot more fantasy points of running backs

731
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: than any team in the National Football League games over

732
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: thirty one fantasy points a game. They've given up nine

733
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. They got dashed by Matt Asiata and Jared

734
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: McKinney last week. I think Jennings could finish in the

735
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: top five long running backs in Week five. A player

736
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna sit c J. Spiller. Don't like the

737
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: matchup and Spiller has not produced this season fewer than

738
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: eighty five scrimm yards in each game this year. He

739
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: has two rushing touchdowns in his last twenty one games.

740
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: That's not good. The Lions have given up the ten

741
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: fewst fantasy points to running backs. They also haven't allowed

742
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: a hundred yard rusher in their last eight home games.

743
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller is a major risk this weekend. And finally,

744
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: monte Ball and I know a lot of people drafted

745
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: montey Ball in the first or second round. Might be

746
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: hard to bench him, but he hasn't had a very

747
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: good start to the season right now. One rushing touchdown

748
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: in his last six games. The Cardinals have allowed the

749
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: fourth few of s fantasy points to running backs. They've

750
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: also allowed only three rushing touchdowns in their last nine

751
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: road games, and in those nine road games one yard

752
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: rusher and that was Frank Gore. Interesting stuff, all right,

753
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: So let's say a little bit more complete look at

754
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: your starts and sits. Four week five, Andre Ellington, despite

755
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: rumors of his foot injury, have actually been okay this

756
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: seasons start. Yeah, absolutely at Denver and then you see

757
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: Steven Rittley on their Bela tricks in high effect. There

758
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: is nothing going on in that backfield that you want

759
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: right now, that's true. Well, and that offense, I mean,

760
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Gronk has been okay. Put that offense man has been

761
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: absolutely struggling. All right. Let's let's talk about wide receivers. Um.

762
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of guys that you like in

763
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: some that you don't like, and We'll start with Percy Hart.

764
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: That's right, Mercy, Mercy, you gotta start Percy this weekend

765
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: against the Washington Redskins. Great matchup. You know, Percy Harman

766
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: has more rushing yards than receiving yards this year. Chris

767
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: is kind of a strange thing for a wide receiver.

768
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: But the Redskins have given up twenty touchdown catches and

769
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: their last ten games at fed X Field and all

770
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: by the way, in their last four home games nine

771
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: touchdown catches. And we all saw what Eli Manning did

772
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: them last week. I think Percy Harvon's a very good

773
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: play as a two three flex starter somewhere in that area.

774
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: Another player here that we're gonna talk about as Keenan Allen,

775
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: and I'm starting Mr. Allen, and I said to start

776
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: him last week against the Jaguars, he went off a

777
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five yards. He had more yards last week

778
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: than he did in the first three games combined. The

779
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: Jets have given up the third most fantasy points to

780
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: wide receivers this year. They've also given up six receiving touchdowns.

781
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: So continue to start Keenan Allen. A player I'm not

782
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: starting this week is DeShawn Jackson. I was worried about

783
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Jackson coming into this season when he went to Washington. Yes,

784
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: fewer than six fantasy points and three of his first

785
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: four games, only one touchdown in his last six games.

786
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: And the Seattle Seahawks are nasty on the run against

787
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They've given up the tenth fewest fantasy points

788
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers overall, but they've all allowed one or fewer

789
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: touchdown catches in their last six road games to the

790
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: white out position. Remember they gave up three against San Diego,

791
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: but that was all Antonio Gates. Alright, So how about

792
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth coverage of the whiteouts

793
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: for Michael Fabian starts to sit list. Eric Decker on

794
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: your sit list as well. Yeah, Eric, Well he's always

795
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: there and it's not a personal thing. And he's good

796
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: looking guys, got a great looking wife. He's got a

797
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: lot of money. I'm not jealous or anything. I just

798
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: don't like him as a fantasy player, and I don't

799
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: like him this week in Sandia, and he's been dealing

800
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: with that hamstring injury as well. All Right, the quarterback position.

801
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, man, he was a fine last week. Is

802
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: he a start? This week. Yeah he is. He was

803
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: on my startom list last week and he's back on

804
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: there this week. Big Ben is gonna put up big

805
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: numbers this week against the Jaguars. He's had two or

806
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes in five of his last six road games.

807
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: The Jaguars had allowed the most touchdown passes and more

808
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: fantasy points of quarterbacks than any team in the National

809
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: Football League at a twenty four point one point per

810
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: game clip. So Ben Roethlisberger is on your roster unless

811
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: you've got elite quarterback startom. You want to talk about

812
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. Tom Brady doesn't fit that bill anymore,

813
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: and tell Tom Brady jail is not even starting Tom

814
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: Brady and her fantasy that bad. Tom Brady has really struggled.

815
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: It's an awful matchup against the Bengals. They've given up

816
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: the third fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, only

817
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes allowed all year long. And if Tom

818
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: Brady wasn't Tom Brady, if he wasn't wearing the Patriots

819
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: jersey number twelve, he would be on the waiver while

820
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: and no one would be talking about him because he

821
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 1: has been awful in fantasy awful. Uh, he's a guy

822
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: you talk about sit. I mean you probably should throw

823
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: him out into the waiver wire pool. And there are

824
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: some right possible links. There's some rookie quarterbacks that are

825
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more enticing. Then tell him that amazing

826
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, alright, another quarterback on your start list,

827
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick has been very good and he is averaging

828
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: over fifty rushing yards at home in his last four games,

829
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: so that just makes an even more enticing Alright, very good.

00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,480

835
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Adam Rank here with eleven sleepers ready to help you

836
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: win your fantasy matchup. What's the segment you guess that

837
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: ranks eleven? Right now? What do you say to me

838
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: giving you three sleepers right off the bat? Come on, now,

839
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm tired of talking. Grab your coat. Let's start walking

840
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: all the way down to Cleveland and Isaiah Crow. Well,

841
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: you know this sort of thing used to be civilized,

842
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: you draft a guy, he'd give you three d and

843
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: fifty carries and boot you're good. But now with the

844
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: running back by committees, these things kill your fantasy lineup

845
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: and then they go to work on you. But if

846
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: you spent any time watching the Browns over the last

847
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you'd see crow Well was the best

848
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: running back for this club, and you'd hope the coach

849
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff would see this too. You'd figure the team

850
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: that is going with Brian Hoyer and doing the right

851
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: thing would also do the right thing at the running

852
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: back position. Well, at least you would hope. Let's move

853
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: on to wide receiver and Brian Quick, a guy who

854
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: owns all the air in the Edward Jones Dome. Yeah,

855
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: try throwing a pass deep in St. Louis and see

856
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: if his name comes up. But in all seriousness, Quick

857
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: has been very undervalued this year. He's played in just

858
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: three games and he has more total points over guys

859
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: like de Sean Jackson, Vincent Jackson, Keenan Allen, Drey Johnson,

860
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: and he's just a tenth of a point behind t

861
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, who everybody just loves. He has a great

862
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: matchup against the Eagles this week, and quarterback Austin Davis

863
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: has played well too. That look, I'm not starting him

864
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: over Calvin Johnson because I'm not a crazy person, but

865
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: he's a very good sleeper. And let's say you're in

866
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: a pinch for a tight end, well, I'm gonna endorse

867
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: Heath Miller right here. This goes beyond the match up,

868
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: which is pretty good. But Big Ben has targeted Miller

869
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: increasingly over the last couple of weeks and he is

870
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: clearly the number two options behind Antonio Brown in this offense.

871
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: Not only is he being targeted a ton, he's catching

872
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: everything too. He caught ten eleven targets. That is great

873
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: efficiency out of him. So if you need a tight end,

874
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: I know a lot of us are struggling there at

875
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: that position, go ahead and pick up Miller this week. Now,

876
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for me. If you need more sleepers,

877
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: be sure to check out nfl dot com slash ranks

878
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: eleven and if you're consciousness absolutely has to intrude upon mine,

879
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter at Adam Rake. All right,

880
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: I'll see you when I see you, ye, Adam, We'll

881
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: see you on the flip side. My friend, Thank you.

882
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: So we know it's week five and people are thinking trades.

883
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: It's a little trade talk, Fabiana. What's your advice on

884
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: this subject of trades. Well, if you've been playing the

885
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: waiver wire like I have, you probably have depth at

886
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: say one position, maybe it's running back. Trade that depth

887
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: away and improve your starting lineup because fantasy points on

888
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: your bench don't get you to a championship. So example,

889
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: if you pick up Steve Smith, I think guy has

890
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: been awesome right now, he's in the top ten and

891
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: facy points among wide receivers, you probably have two other

892
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: good wide receivers. Make a trade and improve, say, for example,

893
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: if you're running back position is hurting if you're not trading,

894
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: not trying trying, Marcus Grant, there are struggling stars out

895
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: there that that you should probably be targeting in trade talks,

896
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: don't you. Absolutely? I mean, obviously the Sean McCoy is

897
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: a guy that a lot of people are panicked on.

898
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: Maybe you have some jintery owners who might want to

899
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: deal in very want on, So you look at guys

900
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: who like that, who have some upside, who can still

901
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: bounce back. There are also some guys who may be

902
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up, a little bit hurt that

903
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: you may want to take him make a play for.

904
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: I know, for instance, FABS loves Ryan Matthins is a child.

905
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: I like mark Ingram, a guy who played really well

906
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: the start of the year. He's been out for a

907
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: little while and he's probably taking up space on somebody's bench.

908
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: They're hurting somewhere else. Maybe you offer him a little

909
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: a little quick pro quel. And the reason I love

910
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: a guy like mark Ingram is here his hand. He

911
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt his legs, so you know when he comes back,

912
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: he's still gonna be running being pretty pretty well. You go.

913
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: So I love that idea. You have another mantra that

914
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: I enjoy. Don't just trade to trade. Yeah, I was

915
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: hoping we would show some video of a guy just

916
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: eating an egg burrito, hanging out and not not on

917
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: his computer. Because here's the thing, most of you out

918
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: there are either one and three, two and two, are

919
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: three and one in fantasy, right, You're not out of it,

920
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: you don't. I mean some of the trades that we've

921
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: seen and I've seen on Twitter Dez Bryant for Julio Jones,

922
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for Philip Rivers. I'm like, why just just

923
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: stand pat with what you got. I'm talking about those

924
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: one for one deals where one guy is doing great,

925
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: the other guys doing great. It just doesn't make the trade.

926
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: Drew Brees for Aaron Rodgers. No, you know, you to

927
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: your point though, it's no the value of your players,

928
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, don't panic yet. You said, hey, everybody's in it,

929
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 1: and I would agree with that. Know the value of players.

930
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing guys Lashawn McCoy, great example, there's a fire

931
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: sale on Lashaw McCoy. If you're a Lashawn McCoy owner, listen,

932
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: know the value he's got value in this league. Shop

933
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: him around. Definitely, don't trade him to the guy who's

934
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: offering you the trade, because the guys you're best interested. Heart,

935
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Shop him around, see what's out there.

936
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, that again, know the guys on your roster

937
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: and know their market value. All right, Listen, that's gonna

938
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,920
