Speaker 1: you looking to put together a playoff lineup, and we'll

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: do some wire taps to finish some things out. Maybe

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: not even for your season long lines, but if you

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: still a mind to play daily fantasy, maybe some guys

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: that you might consider throwing in your lineups as well.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: So we'll do that and plenty more. But it's always

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: been out to our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy,

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Esquire and uh Murphy, I've been talking about food in

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: a while. I know you are something every foodie. I'm

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: just curious anything new that you've cooked, eaten, anything you

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: know worth worth mentioning right now, food was I'm glad

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: you asked this. So finally, I mean, there are a

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: few good pizza places here in Los Angeles, but obviously

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: me being in New Yorker, I'm pretty pretty picky about that.

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Um And Printree Pizza from Manhattan, which is very popular.

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: They opened up a place on Sunset Boulevard over here,

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: and uh, they're known for like they're spicy pepperoni pie

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: and I believe they're doing like a spicy vodka pie now. Um,

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: and it's all the rage, Like every celebrity lives here

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: is posting about it on their social media, like thank

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: you Printree for delivering it. So um, I last this

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: past weekend, I you know, went on door dash. Um,

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: you have to order it super early because like they

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: sell out by like four o'clock. So I ordered this

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: at at noon for the Giants game and two hours later, Um,

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: it did show up. And man, it was good to

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: have York style pizza here in Los Angeles. I know

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: that is a I know you. I'm sure I know

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: where you follow the New York versus Chicago style pizza.

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: So I know when I when I bring ranking, I'll

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: have to ask him this. But always good to know

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: that there's a new pizza place out there, so I'll

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: have to have to check that out. And now I

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: know that I have to order it in advance, I

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: can plan my day around that. So I certainly appreciate that.

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: All right. So speaking of Adam Rank, he joins us

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: now is he always does on Wednesday, And I guess

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: I have to get your take on the New York v.

50
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: Chicago style pizza if you have, if you have a

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: dog in that fight, well, I think one of the

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: biggest things that you have to recognize is that Chicago

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: Thin Crust is actually the superior pizza to everything. Like

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: there's no there's no contest here. It's it's a runaway.

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: It's Chicago thin Crust. That's what dominates here. And so

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: to me, I know a lot of people think of

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: deep dish pizzas being like a Chicago thing, and it is,

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and we love Giordano's and Lumnas and all that stuff.

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: You only go to those places when like visitors are

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: in town. Otherwise you're just kind of you're going somewhere else,

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: and uh, that's the big thing. I but trust me too,

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: I love I love New York pizza. I know when

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: the draft used to be in New York, Daniel JEREMYA

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: and I used to go to Famous Original Rays, which

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: was right or around the corner from UH Parker Meridian.

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: So I'm in. I love a good pizza. I'm think

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna get in on that with you.

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: If they deliver all the way down to UH where

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: I live in Stanton, California. It's like, did you go

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to Famous Original Rays or Raise Original Famous or just

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: raise Famous or Famous Raise? And they're like like seventeen

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: variations of it. If I just went I just sounded

73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: really confident, like I knew exactly what I was talking about.

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know exactly where it is, but

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Famous Race or Famous Original

76
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: Rays or whatever. I just tried to exude confidence there

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: and give give off the impression that I knew exactly

78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: what I was talking about. Although my yell page has

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: a lot of cool spots because I love hanging out

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: in Hell's Kitchen, so have a lot of cool pizza

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: spots that I've already got kind of you know, reviewed

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: and everything like that. Alright, cool, I will, I will.

83
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I will go in and frequent your Yelp page and

84
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: try to figure some of these things out. People still yelp?

85
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Is that a thing? I think they do? But it

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: seems to be just the most annoying people who just

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: want to complain about things and tear down, you know,

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: tear down establishments, just trying to you know, survive. So uh,

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: don't be that person if you are on you, I've

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: given one two star and like my whole life, I

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: think I'm all three to five because like everything's good,

92
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: like everything exactly. Don't hate let people, Let people build

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: their business. Um, all right, let's build some some fantasy headlines.

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Shall we talk about some of the things that will

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: impact lineups going forward. First off, the big news out

96
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia, Carson Wentz moved to the bench. Jalen Hurts

97
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: is going to be the starter this week after taking

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: over last week against the Packers. I think for folks

99
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: who were in the playoffs, I don't imagine a lot

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: of people are going to pick up and start Jalen Hurts.

101
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: But if you do have an Eagles pass catcher on

102
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: your roster, do you feel a little bit more confident

103
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: with Hurts at quarterback? Well, it depends on which receiver

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: or which pass catcher you're talking about, Jalen Reagor. I

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: was about to drop, but now I'm gonna have to

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: hold on too, because I want to see how this

107
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: plays out. He might be somebody that could be a

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: valuable piece moving forward. And I'm talking about I'm really

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: looking at my league of record. My tight end is

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, who I was very confident in. Zach Ertz

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: returning to the lineup did not hurt my opinion on

112
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: this at all. Now I'm I'm really baffled about what's

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen, how much he's going to be targeted. Carson

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: Wentz love throwing to Dallas Goddard, and he loved going

115
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: to Richard Rogers as well. I'm really hopeful that he's

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: going to continue that trend by going to Goddard. But

117
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: now I'm in a situation. I lost out on a

118
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: bi last week because of Justin Herbert, and that's my

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: own Actually, I law, I ran into a bus all

120
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: last week. But I really need to figure this out

121
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: because the tight end position is so difficult to find

122
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: consistent production, and I thought I had it a little

123
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: bit of a gym with Dallas Goddards. So that's kind

124
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: of where I'm leaning right now. I had somebody asked

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: me if they should start Dallas Goddard or John new Smith,

126
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, provided John news healthy and I at this moment,

127
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm sort of leaning towards John, who just because I

128
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: at least have an idea of how they use him.

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Like I there's so much unknown with Jalen Hurts on

130
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: top of it. Uh, you know, let's talk about the

131
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: matchup to paying the SAT and that defense has gotten

132
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: so much better. There's just so many things that are

133
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: question marks that I sort of suggested leaning towards John

134
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: new Smith because at least I have a better idea

135
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: of how that's going to go. Um, you know, they

136
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: got the Jags. Yeah, I think I think it's gonna

137
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: be fun to watch Hurts. I'm interested to see him play,

138
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: But fantasy wise, I just in in such a critical week,

139
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to trust the end

140
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: of those guys with so many unknowns just hanging out

141
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: there right now. Um, we'll see, but at least we'll

142
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: be fun to watch my football standpoint, just to see

143
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: if Hurts can do some things and and maybe get

144
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense back on track because it has been

145
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: kind of not fun to watch for most of the season. Uh,

146
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson has been fun to watch for most of

147
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: the season. Unfortunately he left the game earlier this week

148
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: was that Monday, I watched track of all the day

149
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: against the Steelers with a toe injured. It's being called

150
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: turf toe. And the thought right now that he will

151
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: not be available for Week fourteen against the forty nine Ers.

152
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: They have not said how much further he could be out.

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: So if you are looking for help, I I have

154
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson in a couple of spots I need to

155
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: replace him. Is the best replacement option? Is it somebody

156
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: on the Washington roster or is it somebody else? Well,

157
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the first thing that I did, because there's not a

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of availability on the waiver wire, if you wanted

159
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: to go and pick up Cam Akers or Adrian Peterson

160
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: or anybody like that who might be out there, Like,

161
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: obviously that's the way that you want to go. But

162
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: what I'm really looking at is Jadie mckissic, because I

163
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of people gave up on him because

164
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson started catching the ball out of the backfield.

165
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: So mckissic seemed like the guy who was getting a

166
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of production. I know, Philip, it's Philip bart No, wait,

167
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Barbara Peyton BARBERA Philip Barber was a farmer or still

168
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: a current NFL writer up in the Bay Area. So sorry,

169
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Philip Barber. I didn't make shout out to Phili Barber.

170
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Um? But I do like

171
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I I do like mkissic just for the receptions out

172
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and is Michael a Florio talked about

173
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: earlier on this show on another show on Friday, how

174
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: those receptions are were three carries. So I think the

175
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Kissics the guy I'm gonna want to go with, probably

176
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: that guy I would suggest, like as you did. Look,

177
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: if cam Akers is out there, give him a shot.

178
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what Ty Johnson might do with

179
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Jets if Frank Gore doesn't play. But it does seem

180
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: like Mkissic slides in there and probably gets a lot

181
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: more targets. So maybe that is sort of the way

182
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: to go. I am asking mostly for myself because I

183
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to fill that spot on

184
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: my roster now that Gibson has gone. Uh. John Gruden

185
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: says he's not expecting Josh Jacobs to play in Week fourteen,

186
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: as he's dealing with an ankle injury this last week.

187
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people pivoted to DeVante

188
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: Booker and I didn't work out so great. Can we

189
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: give him another shot this week or do we go

190
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else? Yeah, I don't know. I you know, I

191
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: had high expectations for him, and I had missed out

192
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: on him on the waiver wire. I had mistakenly well,

193
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I carry a bunch of starting running backs and this

194
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: isn't my league of record, but it's my second city league. Thankfully,

195
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: I did get to buy, got to ten wins, and

196
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: my two starting running backs over the last couple of

197
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: weeks have been Antonio Gibson and Josh Jacobs. Neither one

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: of those players will be availed. Thankfully I got to buy.

199
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Neither one of those players I don't think will be

200
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: available this week, and so I'm looking at some of

201
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: the other guys who are on my roster, like I'm

202
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: gonna try to get Jadie McKissick. Hopefully Christian McCaffrey is

203
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna return and be ready to go. That's that should

204
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: be a fatal complete, I hope. And then McKissick again

205
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: is the other guy that I'm looking at. I do

206
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: have David Johnson floating around to that league. I've tried

207
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: to get rid of David Johnson forever, and I was

208
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: happy when he was on I I just didn't want

209
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: to have to make that decision every week, like I

210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: don't want to decide whether I'm playing David Conson or not.

211
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a tough call for me, and

212
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: I hope again that I can weather the storm get

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: into Week fifteen and have a starting lineup that includes

214
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the team that I drafted. Christian McCaffrey and Josh Jacobs

215
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: is my two running backs. So hopefully we're going to

216
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: see that that and I think will be the key

217
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: for a lot of fantasy managers. This week is just

218
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: trying to survive, you know, seeing if Gibson can come back,

219
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: seeing if Josh Jacobs can come back. I am not

220
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: really advocating the DeVante Booker deal because we saw a

221
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: lot of guys didn't getting work. I mean they spread

222
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: it around. It wasn't just the DeVante Booker show back there.

223
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, I guess if you're fine with fifty

224
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: one scrimmage yards and no touchdowns, then hooray um. I

225
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: would like a little bit more than that, so I

226
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: would I would probably stay away from Devontae Booker um.

227
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Last piece of news Peyton Sean Payton. I should say

228
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: almost sad Peyton Barber, but he has no he has

229
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: no bearing over what Drew Brees does. Sean Payton said

230
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: that Drew Brees does not have a time frame for

231
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: his return. Now he's eligible to come off injured reserve

232
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: after having those rib and long injuries. I've seen some

233
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: reports that he could be back in week fifteen. So

234
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: I guess it means for the short term we have

235
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: at least one more week of Taysom Hill. But last week,

236
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, we saw Alvin Kimara actually be productive again.

237
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: So does this mean like we're okay, do we feel

238
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: better about Taysom still being at quarterback? If you have

239
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: a skill position guy in New Orleans, well I have

240
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: more Taysom Hill shares than I have Alvin Kamara shares,

241
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: So I feel great about this, and it really it's

242
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a conundrum of what the Saints do. I

243
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: I imagine they'll likely go back to Drew Brees and

244
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: they'll just roll out Taysom Hill for a few packages.

245
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that works in the Saints favor.

246
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: And I I know this is a fantasy show and

247
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: people are like a start whoever, But I'm thinking of

248
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: it as a football thing. And now that when Taysom

249
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: Hill rolls out on the field and you know how

250
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: dangerous he can be. He was still gimmicky before, and

251
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I guess we'll see, but we know

252
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: now he could play a full game, he can go,

253
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: he can win a contest for you. And so I

254
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: look at this situation, I'm really curious to see how

255
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: the Saints are gonna approach it moving forward. I feel

256
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: really concerned if I have Alvin Camara and Michael Thomas's

257
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: guys I've been counting on or been hopeful of. Michael

258
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: Thomas probably not so much. You've either been eliminated by

259
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: now or you figured out if you figured out the

260
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: work around. At this point, Alvin Camari is the really

261
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: the one, because I'm sure that that was the lynchpin

262
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: of your team and you probably just kind of scuffled

263
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: your way into the playoffs. You need Drew Brees to

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: come back for those dump offs or eels, or at

265
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: least find a way for Taysom Hill to get the

266
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: ball into his hands with a little bit more consistency.

267
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: Glad they were able to do it against the Falcons

268
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: last week. Interesting matchup this week, so I'm I'm curious

269
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: to see how that works out. I'm hoping that that

270
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe somebody put a bug and tastomo ear like, hey,

271
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: you should give the ball to the Canary guy because

272
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. You didn't have a couple of more targets,

273
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: and he had three targets, caught two of them on Sundays.

274
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: That is progress. He did have a nice long run,

275
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown, so again it's progress. But considering

276
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: where he had been at the start of the year,

277
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that's not gonna come back as long

278
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: as Taysom Hill is the quarterback, because he's gonna take

279
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: off and run, He's gonna score some touchdowns. I also

280
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: worry about Michael Thomas, But like you said at this point,

281
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: if you have Michael Thomas, you have sort of figured

282
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: out how to live without him, or you know, you

283
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: just had a terrible season and you're probably packing it

284
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: in anyway. So I do think the the Camaro folks

285
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: are are concerned rightly, so I am one of them.

286
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that that Sean Payton and Taysom and

287
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: and Camara have a palow and get together and figure

288
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: out how to, you know, how to make this work,

289
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: how to make it work for everybody? Um because selfishly,

290
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't really care if the Saints winter lose. I

291
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: just want my dude to get fantasy points. That's care about.

292
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: Um Okay. Today's show is sponsored by draft Kings, a

Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a unique show and the

299
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: fact that we have a TNF recap and a TNF

300
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: previews will start with the Tuesday Night Football Recap, The

301
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: Ravens beat the Cowboys thirty four seventeen. Lamar Jackson came

302
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: back and had a pretty decent Fantasy day twenty five points,

303
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: six points, a hundred seven passing yards, a couple of touchdowns.

304
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: Also ran for ninety four yards and a score. Michael

305
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Gallup sort of popping up out of nowhere seven catches

306
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: for eighty six yards in a touchdown. I don't know

307
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: that anybody was really starting Michael Gallup at this point

308
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: in the season, but if you are, congratulations because that

309
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: happened for you. And then Andy Dalton two or five yards,

310
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, interception, seventeen point six Fantasy points there,

311
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: but another underwhelming day for Ezekiel Elliott. He actually got

312
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: double digit Fantasy points, which is something that he hadn't

313
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: really been doing a whole lot of recently. But uh,

314
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: he is not the guy that people thought they were

315
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: drafting in the first round? Is he still? Can you

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: still consider him an RB one at this point? Well?

317
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: I would have to think RB one, Maybe not. But

318
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: who who have you added to your team who has

319
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: surpassed him? I mean maybe if you were lucky enough

320
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: to get James Robinson. Obviously that is your go to guy,

321
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: And if Ezekiel Elliott is somebody that you're not counting

322
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: on every week to be your number one guy, that

323
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: I think that you're in a pretty good spot. I

324
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: thought his game last night was really good. I was

325
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: impressed with him. I thought he had some nice moves

326
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: out there. I thought he looked pretty good. I thought

327
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: he looked Chris. And then you at some point you

328
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: have to also go back and realize the Ravens are

329
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good team and that's a pretty good defense,

330
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: and normally we would be trying to avoid as many

331
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: fantasy superstars as we could against the Ravens. So I

332
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: think for the matchup that he had, that was pretty good.

333
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest takeaway for me with

334
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is that there used to be situations where

335
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: you just didn't care about the matchup. He's playing the Steelers,

336
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: he's playing the forty Niners, or I don't care, like

337
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: it's Ezekiel Elliott, I'm starting him. I think now that

338
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: when he's played because because of the circumstance, and I

339
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: don't think that this is uh, this is a ding

340
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: on him or his ability, But I think because of

341
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: the circumstances with Dac being out with so many injuries

342
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to the offensive line, when he plays tough teams like this,

343
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: if he gets double digit Fantasy points, I have to

344
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: consider that a win. I think. I think your first

345
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: point too, is maybe the most cogent one in that

346
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you know at this post. But the first one was,

347
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: But the first one was, Yeah, the rest of you

348
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: can just throw out. But it is like at this point,

349
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that you have better options, and so

350
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: you are playing Ezekiel Elliott. And I think when when

351
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: people have asked me about her, when we've talked about him,

352
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: that has sort of been the thing I fall back

353
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: on is that, well, I mean, who else do you

354
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: have on your ruster that you're gonna feel better about?

355
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Because you know that the ceiling for Zeke is still

356
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: fairly high. It's just that the flow the floor has

357
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: gotten a lot lower over the last few weeks. And

358
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: some of it is out of his control, right, I mean,

359
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line has sort of fallen apart that has

360
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's not something he can control. Dak Prescott

361
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: getting hurt was certainly out of his control, and that

362
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: has changed the dynamic of this offense. Uh. And I

363
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: guess in some ways too, if you have Zeke, you're

364
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: really no worse off than say, anybody who drafted Christian McCaffrey. Uh,

365
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, se Kwan Barkley, take any number hangbacks who

366
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: went in the first round. May I, may I make up?

367
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: Can I bring up a point about that? Is? Uh?

368
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: I would rather have had Christian McCaffrey this season, which

369
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: I have in a bunch of spots, then Ezekiel Elliott,

370
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: because at least I know where Christian McCaffrey is on

371
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: the bench, I don't have to deal with it. Hopefully

372
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: I got Mike Davis. Hopefully I picked up James Robinson

373
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: or Antonio Gibson, which I know well. James Robinson is

374
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: still great, but Antonio Gibson. But like I had, I

375
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: worked around, I fixed the situation. I had already moved on.

376
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't I wasn't left hanging. I wasn't like this

377
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: was it. This was a clean breakup. This wasn't like

378
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: the guy who has ghosted me a couple of times

379
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm over it, and he's like, hey,

380
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: do you want to go to t G I Fridays

381
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, it's a pandemic. That would be stupid.

382
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, you do like in

383
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: a normal here, you know what I'm saying. I to

384
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: me like, this is the most frustrating thing. And if

385
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: you've made it to the Fantasy Playoffs, and obviously the

386
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: only reason you're listening to the show probably now no

387
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: disrespect to us, is because you're in the Fantasy playoffs,

388
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: that maybe you really love stupid wrestling analogies. And if

389
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: you do, then I say thank you and I appreciate them,

390
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: and you want to hear more about San Andrews. I

391
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know. The thing is is, if you've made it

392
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with Ezekiel Elliott, you've done an amazing job.

393
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: You should I hope you win, but I hope you

394
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: also realize that you've probably had probably your best Fantasy

395
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: season that you've ever could imagine because you've done such

396
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: a great job of navigating this minefield that you got

397
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and that's a huge accomplishment. So hopefully

398
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: you'll go out and win, but I hope you're I

399
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: hope you take a second this week have a little

400
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: bit of pride of what you did because that was

401
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: not easy to overcome. There you go. So everybody take

402
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: a victory lap if you made the playoffs with Ezekiel Elliott,

403
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: because you have earned it. Um On the other side,

404
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens running backs, they used all three guys again,

405
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: but Gus Edwards had over a hunt of yards. J K.

406
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Dobbins had a good day and Scoty touchdown as well.

407
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram didn't see the ball much, didn't do a

408
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: whole lot. Did we gain any clarity on what's happening

409
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: in that Ravens backfield yesterday? Oh yeah, absolutely. Lamar Jackson's

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: their number one running back. That's exactly what thought. And

411
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: I hate to say that because I I don't want

412
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: to who's good for running back? Stuff to come back?

413
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: But the Ravens are just back. The band's back together,

414
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: Like hey, here it is. It's the Black Crows again.

415
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: They're they're reunited, or at least it's the Robinson brothers

416
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: in that school that this is it. This is what

417
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: we've had to deal with. And again, if you've made

418
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: it to the Fantasy playoffs having to go with this,

419
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: at least it wasn't your first round pick. I hope

420
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: you didn't use a first round pick on any one

421
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: of these running backs, but it's very frustrating, and it

422
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: seems like, for whatever reason, Gus Edwards seems the most trustworthy.

423
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: We love it, like mark Ingram, such a great player,

424
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: big trust love him. J K. Dobbins was outstanding at

425
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but Gus Edwards, Man, I'm telling you every week,

426
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: gone back and watch these games. It seems like that

427
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: is the running back that they absolutely love. And you

428
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: know they're a practice. I'm not He's good. I mean,

429
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: he had a hundred yards. I can't really complain about

430
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: it too much, but that looks like the guy. I

431
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just ridiculous. I've not I'm with you.

432
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Gus Edwards. You know,

433
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: either it should get more opportunities in Baltimore, or he

434
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: should go somewhere, or he can be more of a

435
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: lead running back or something, because he is the guy

436
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: that has been the most consistent weekend and week out.

437
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: And I know, you know, I know the Dynasty League

438
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: folks and the Devy League people really want j K. Dobbins.

439
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: They also tend to trend toward younger running back, so

440
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: that has a lot to do with it, and demands

441
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: has been good. I'm not gonna you know, I don't.

442
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it sound like he's been

443
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: awful this year, but Gus Edwards to me has been

444
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: the most consistent of the three. Um, you know, I

445
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: also was part of the Darryl Henderson hive when everybody

446
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: you know wants to see more of cam Akers. So

447
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just a weirdo, which is fine. It wouldn't

448
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: be the first time I've heard that. Um So you know,

449
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: I just seeing that last night, that I'm a weirdo.

450
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: That's cool. Um Like, no disrespect, but it's in a

451
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: good way. Like I don't know, because you like you

452
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: irrationally hate stuff like friends, Like why why that makes

453
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: you so angry? I don't think you have any confused

454
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: with someone else? I don't hate Wait, who is it?

455
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually different to friends. Patrick Claiborne really hates friends,

456
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: and Harmon Harmon. Harmon's Matt Harmon also hates friends. But

457
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: I'm fairly indifferent to friends. You're indifferent, Hypham, and I

458
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: love friends. I don't know where gel hare Listen, this

459
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: is this is a a blast of the past. To

460
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: anybody who's been listening to show for years talking about

461
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: some of these names for the past. We still talk

462
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: and we're still like, we're still friends, and we talked

463
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: and every once in a while, I don't know, it's

464
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: like every it's a twice yearly thing. Is there's a

465
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: bunch of friends slander and then hythe them who does

466
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: who's the producer for the Fantasy Bite show? We have

467
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: to huddle and be like, oh no, no, one of

468
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: these guys hate the show so much. Friends, So that's right, Okay, Yeah,

469
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: I was mad at I'm at at there. I'm ad

470
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: at our friends who hate friends, and I'm sorry that

471
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: you got the you got the collateral damage that I

472
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: grouped you in with those, you know. I appreciated Aisha

473
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: Tyler's turn on the show. You know, and she was

474
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: dating Ross. She dated Ross and Joey at some point, correct,

475
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: I know she did it. That was yeah, she did

476
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Joey as well. So like I I am, I am

477
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: even fairly neutral. I am Switzerland when it comes to friends,

478
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: which I'm sure is what everybody tuned into this show

479
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: to find out. But I feel like we need an

480
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: official statement from the Stronghold like where everybody staying everything

481
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: like we'll just post We'll post it on Twitter, so everybody, um,

482
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: last thing here. Lamar Jackson had a pretty good night

483
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: last night. Fantasy wise. I know he's been he's been

484
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: underwhelming compared to what people expected of him this year.

485
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: I'll say it like that, are we okay, We're just

486
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: are we just putting him in our lineups and just

487
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: setting it and forgetting it for the fantasy playoffs? Are

488
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: we cool with that? You know what's funny is you

489
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: were so dismissive of his twenty five points and you're like,

490
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: he was fine, he had that's how good he is.

491
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: And I understand it. I agree with you. You feel

492
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: like this should be a guy who's going out there

493
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: and putting up thirty seven points every time he goes

494
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: out there. I I loved his performance last night. I

495
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: thought he was really good. And I know a lot

496
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: of people are nitpicking it. He is. He is one

497
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks who will be nitpicked to death for

498
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: his throws and every every throw I've listened. I went

499
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: back and watched some games. I've seen Tom Brady miss

500
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: some throws this season. I've seen some of the other

501
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks miss some throws this season. I know that

502
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's not an elite quarterback, but he gets a

503
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of grief as well, like missing a wide up.

504
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff happens now that everybody has access

505
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: to all two. Yeah, this stuff has been going on

506
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: for years. Like I, I know it's a shock to you,

507
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: you see, because a lot of times you only see

508
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: highlights and you're like, this guy never throws a bad pass.

509
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: It sometimes happens. I think coming off the COVID list

510
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: and not having a lot of time to prepare and

511
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: not having a a normal week and playing football on

512
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, I thought this was great. And I know

513
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: fantasy wise you want more points, and I understand that,

514
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: but I think from a football standpoint, and I know

515
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: that I I'm a weirdo because I like football, not

516
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: just fantacy. But it's one of those things like I

517
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: really appreciated what he did. I walked away impressed. I'm

518
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: sorry if you started him and you needed thirty five points,

519
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: that wasn't happening. But he was good. And so I

520
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: think that if there's ever some normalcy and he gets

521
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: regular reps and he practices this stuff might improve. So

522
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I like it and I think that, you know, I know,

523
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: my friend Craig, who watches the show, was excited about

524
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: it and he's like, is this I'm like, yeah, you're good.

525
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: Like if you like my friend Craig has him and

526
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I'm like, I don't want to see you

527
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Your team squeaked By barely got in

528
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: and you're the team that I do not want to

529
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: see because I think the ability with players like that

530
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: is huge. I think you talk about everybody having all

531
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: twenty two's and you know, especially the folks, the the

532
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: tape grinders on Twitter. Look, a lot of those guys

533
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: do a lot of good work, uh, guys and gentlemen.

534
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: Right between that and the fact that we have so

535
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: many quote unquote Island games where like that's the only

536
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: game on in prime fact, like, we see a lot

537
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: more stuff, and so every time a guy makes a mistake,

538
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: it ends up being magnified. Um uh. I guess it's

539
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: a long way of saying, yeah, I put Lamar in

540
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: my line up and just leave him there, because you know,

541
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: part of part of it is that you know the Ravens.

542
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's you know, from a real football perspective,

543
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens are sort of in playoff mode right now,

544
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: right like, they got to keep winning games, and so

545
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: that means Lamar's got to go out and play well,

546
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: which means they need him to run the football effectively,

547
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: throw the football effectively. So, uh, for your fantasy playoffs,

548
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: I think it helps to have the Ravens in real

549
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: playoff mode. So maybe that makes things a little bit

550
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: better for Lamar. Uh, And we can, you know, we

551
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: can scrub away that the taste of the frustration from

552
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the year and he finished a strong because

553
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: if a guy finished a strong, then we go back

554
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: into the end and you know, started next year, we're

555
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: like draft him high, you know, forgetting to love this

556
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: guy exactly. So maybe Lamar can get us back to that.

557
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: It's time for Secure Starts, presented by Visa for Peace

558

Speaker 1: them at NFL dot com slash start sit easy enough.

561
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: We'd like to be positive here those We're also gonna

562
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: talk starts and then we'll talk about something else in

563
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: place of where we normally do sits. Uh So for

564
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that people should put in their line ups, who

565
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: do you have? Well, I think the one quarterback I'm

566
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: being asked about the most is Justin Herbert, and I

567
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: have confidence in him this week going up against the

568
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I shouldn't have had the hubris that I

569
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: had with him going up against the New England Patriots

570
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I know Belichick is good against rookie quarterbacks.

571
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: Shut up, he's at home and it didn't work out.

572
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: It was terrible. If you lost, If you didn't make

573
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: the playoff us because of it, well you're probably not listening. Well.

574
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: If you did make it, like me, I lost out

575
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: on the first round by I've now got to play

576
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'm thankful that it is the Falcons who

577
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: have allowed a lot of passing touchdowns this season. About

578
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: to a game, Herbert has thrown two touchdown passes per

579
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: game and seven of his last nine games. The Falcons

580
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: have still allowed some of the most fantasy points to

581
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season. I don't know what it is this morning,

582
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: but it's top five at the very at the very worst.

583
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: So I'm comfortable with Justin Herbert. I'm very comfortable with

584
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill this week again too. It's kind of like

585
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill had that rough stretch. It's kind of like

586
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: when Chris Pratt made the jump to movies and he

587
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: started doing Guardians of the Galaxy and all that stuff.

588
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: You're like, he's never gonna make a bad movie again.

589
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: He's he's awesome. And then he did Passengers and he's like,

590
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: this guy sucks. Go back to Parks and wreck. But

591
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: his next movie was Guardians of the Galaxy too, and

592
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he's awesome again. And I think that

593
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of the arc that Ryan Tannehill has taken

594
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: this season. And he's going up against my friends down

595
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: in Duval County. They've allowed at least two touchdown passes

596
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: in six consecutive games. They're amongst the lead leaders in

597
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. So that's a good one.

598
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: And you know what, can I say one other thing?

599
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I know we don't have the roll for it, so

600
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep it quick. If

601
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: you have Kirk Cousins, and you're obviously probably not gonna

602
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: play him this week against Tampa Bay because Kirk Cousins

603
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: is the quarterback equivalent of the Hanson m Bop song,

604
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: Like it's cool to watch it? Do we have tape

605
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: of Kirk Cousins. This is awesome, But oom Bop is

606
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: something that you like to enjoy at your home. You

607
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: don't want people outside of the house seeing you do that.

608
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to be like just bumping

609
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: around in your car like it's the beginning of the

610
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Hangover three or something like that. But I will say

611
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: this about Cousins. He's averaging over twenty Fantasy points per

612
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: game at home, less than twelve on the road. He's

613
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: on the road at Tampa Bay. You don't want to

614
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: play him week fifteen. He's got the Bears. Personally, I

615
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: won't make this move, but I think that's a great option.

616
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the Kirk Cousins especially. Let's see how the

617
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Bears play this week, how they respond to that Detroit Laws,

618
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: if they're going into the tank. This is a must

619
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: star Kirk Cousins game in week. So don't drop them.

620
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Hold on to them if you can. I didn't think

621
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: Hansen was gonna make it to the show, but but

622
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: here we are. There is running backs starts who's on

623
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: your list. I'm gonna go with Aaron Jones, who I

624
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: forgot was a thing, and then he busted out of

625
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: seventy seven yard touchdown run. You're like, oh, that's right.

626
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones plays for the Green Bay Packers. I believe

627
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: we were just a week removed from people freaking out

628
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: about Jamal Williams and saying like, oh my gosh, what

629
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: is happening with this pan backers backfield? And I think

630
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: now I don't I haven't checked the stats. I don't

631
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get ninety touchdowns this season, but I

632
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: think that this is a great opportunity against the Detroit Lions.

633
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, Detroit, Detroit. Sorry, there's this nice guy on

634
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: Twitter who always corrects me. I've been saying it wrong

635
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: my whole life. I don't know if it's a thing.

636
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: As othern californ anything. Detroit they've allowed a lot of

637
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: fantasy production to running backs this season. They've allowed twenty

638
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns to do the position, and they've allowed

639
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot of scrimmage yards as well. This might not

640
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: be a huge Aaron Rodgers game this week. I'm kind

641
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: of worried about I think they're gonna turn to the

642
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: running attacks. So I love him, and obviously with Derrick Henry,

643
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: I just you know what I think sometimes when we

644
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: get into this fantasy game, we don't talk enough about

645
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: the guys who are really good. And I know that

646
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: nobody's going to be sitting Derrick Henry this week. There

647
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: there's that I don't know. He could have a string

648
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: of of donuts and bagels on my In my point total,

649
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go out there and start them, especially

650
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars who have allowed a lot of

651
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: fantasy production. And of course we remember that Thursday Night

652
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago where he had the

653
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: ninety nine yard touchdown run. So there's no way that

654
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sitting Derrick Henry. And of course we're

655
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: also waiting for are are we talking about cam akers

656
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: and wire taps? That's also another one that would be

657
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: a start for me if he's healthy and ready again.

658
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: So we can talk about him here, that's fine. You

659
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about him for a sect like do

660
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: we have a moment like I just want to say

661
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: that if he I know that the matchup is tough

662
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: and it's difficult going up against the New England Patriots.

663
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: But I think that we started seeing this a couple

664
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. We didn't want to dive in completely

665
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: with cam Akers because we're like, it's still it's still

666
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: seems a little too good to be true. But I

667
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: think it now is starting to look Marcus like all

668
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: the things that we said about him in the off

669
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: season finally starting to come to fruition. And if, for

670
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: whatever reason, if he's still available on your waiver wire

671
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: and on NFL dot Com waivers hit tonight, if you're

672
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: in a smaller league like a ten team league and

673
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: nobody bought in, just check. But if you've got him

674
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: and he practicesn't full and Wednesday, and I know that

675
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: we record this before the Rams practice report has come out,

676
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: but if he's a full go on Wednesday, I think

677
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting him. I think I am too. I mean,

678
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: only be for cam Akers. Beef cam Akers is that

679
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: he was stuck in our rotation that didn't have anything

680
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: really directly to do with him. But if Sean McVeigh

681
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: wants to give him the ball, uh yeah, I'm fine.

682
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm on board with it. So I know the cam

683
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Akers Hive is just excited to take victory lapse when

684
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: where they can um wide receiver starts. Who who do

685
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: you have? Well, I'm gonna go with Tyler Boyd this week,

686
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: and obviously he was ready. He was bounced last week

687
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: after his seventy three seventy five yard touchdown. But that's okay.

688
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: You gave me fifteen points. Take the rest of the

689
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: afternoon off. I'm magnanimous like that. I'm not counting on

690
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: you as much as I'm counting on DK Metcalf for

691
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. I get mad at those guys if they

692
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: don't perform. But if if if Tyler Boyd is sitting

693
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: there as my RB three, excuse me, wide receiver three,

694
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: and he gives me fifteen fantasy points? Were cool? And

695
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: I was going up against the Dallas Cowboys who have

696
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: allowed that well. Going into last night's game, it was

697
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the fifth most fantasy points to wide receivers. They've allowed

698
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: nineteen receiving touchdowns. Hollywood Brown got into the end zone

699
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: last week, so I feel very comfortable with that. And

700
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: I also love Calvin Ridley this week. He's right there,

701
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: averaging close to eighteen fantasy points per game. He's had

702
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: at least fourteen and nine of his last eleven. The

703
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: charges have allowed two plus receiving two plus receiving touchdowns

704
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: in seven consecutive games. The secondary is a little bit

705
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: of a mess. They aren't really getting to the quarterback.

706
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: I hope that this is gonna be a high scoring

707
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: game out here in Englewood. So I love Calvin Ridley

708
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: this week. I like Tyler Boyd this week as well,

709
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is a Marcus Grant guy.

710
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: I think Jamison Crowder is another wide receiver, but I

711
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: like this week too. I think that he's been playing

712
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: fantastic and I think that that's somebody that you have

713
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: to get into your lineup. Sam Donald loves and Sam

714
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Donald and slot receivers go together like chicken and waffles.

715
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm totally on board with with Jamison Crowder.

716
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm down for that. Okay. So for us Cleaves who

717
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: don't have Travis Kelsey on our roster tight end, should

718
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: we start, well, I'm gonna go with Rob grond cow scheme.

719
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: And this reminds me of the Monday Night Raw after

720
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: WrestleMania thirteen, after Sean Michaels was going to take some

721
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: time off because of his back injury, and Triple H

722
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: came out and talked about going to the click, you know,

723
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: going back to guys that you're familiar with. I feel

724
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady is in that mode with Rob Gronkowski,

725
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, having to go to somebody that he knows,

726
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: that he can trust, that he's counted on for for years.

727
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: And Gronkowski has been a really good fantasy tight end

728
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: thirteen plus Fantasy points and two out of his last

729
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: three games he's had at least six targets and three

730
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: out of his last four games. I went back and

731
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: used next Gen stats to see where those targets are

732
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: coming from, and there are a lot of them are

733
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: coming on first and second down, so they're really going

734
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: to him. They're making it a point to get Rob

735
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: Gronkowski involved, so I make sure that I have him

736
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: in my lineup this week. I know they're coming off

737
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: of by so you might want to go back and

738
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: check a lot of faith in Rob Gronkowski, and I

739
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in Eric ebron To. They're

740
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: going up against the Buffalo Bills. The Steeler's offense looked

741
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: a little off on Monday, but I guess that's gonna

742
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: happen when you have a game that's supposed to be

743
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: played on Thanksgiving? When was that game supposed to be played?

744
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Like there, their schedule has been moved around so much,

745
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: I really, honest to God, believe that the the number one, like,

746
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: the number one tiebreaker for the playoffs this season is

747
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: how many times have your game has been moved? That

748
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: should be the first tiebreaker. Then if them in the

749
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs have the same record, they should look at the

750
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: Steelers and be like, who, how many times have your

751
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: game has been moved? The Steelers all of them? Okay, yeah,

752
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: I think you get you get the tiebreaker, guys. But

753
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: I really like Eric Ebrown. I really like the way

754
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: that they've been using him. And you know, Eric Ebron

755
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: came out during the off season of the preseason and

756
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: he was he was talking himself up, and he's gone

757
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: out there and backed it up. Now, he hasn't gone

758
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: out and put up Travis Kelsey or Darren Waller numbers,

759
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: but he's been very good. So I'm gonna start him

760
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: this week. I feel like tight End has become like

761
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: it's like the old Mad TV skit of lowered expectations,

762
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, like the weird dating service they had, Like like,

763
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of like tight end, right, Like if you're

764
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: willing to sort of accept a little bit less, like

765
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: you can find some some good guys out there to start. Um,

766
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron has you know, he has fit nicely into

767
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: that mole. I and saw people hyping up Tyler Effort

768
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: this morning, which yeah, that's yeah. Yeah to quote obi

769
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: Wan Kenobi, I haven't heard that name in a long time,

770
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: but uh so, yeah, I guess they're they're tight end

771
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: gems out there to be found if you are willing to,

772
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, sort of adjust your your expectations a little

773
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: bit defensive starts for this week? Which ones are good ones? Yeah?

774
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that. You went from obi

775
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Wan to Ben like that was at least he tried

776
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: to disguise his name, unlike Luke the last name though,

777
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: he was just Ben Kenobi Like what like that? I

778
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: guess there's not like a Yellow Pages type of service

779
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: in that galaxy where they can be like, hey, do

780
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: you think you have a son? How about the planet

781
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: you came from? Do you have any relatives there? Do

782
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: you want to check in on? In any event? Uh,

783
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Seahawks defense, I believe is gonna

784
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: be the first one off. I hope that's the first

785
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: one that's cued in and ready to go. I know

786
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people picked them up over the last

787
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks because they've had some really nice matchups

788
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: and it hasn't always been working on that great even

789
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: though this team is a lot better. But it's a

790
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams revenge game against his former team, the New

791
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: York Jets. Seattle is coming off their worst game of

792
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: the season. Their fans are freaking out. I love the

793
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: overreaction by fans too. They're like, this is the most

794
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: embarrassing loss that I've ever seen the Seahawks make. It's like,

795
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: settled down people. Brian Bosworth got one over in the end.

796
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: Although I liked the bos and I felt like he

797
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: kind of stood bo Jackson up and then was just

798
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of the momentum carried him into the end zone.

799
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: But in any event, I like the Seahawks defense this week.

800
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: I also like the football team's defense as well. I

801
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: think this is a pretty good I think I came

802
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: across impressed with them on Monday night, Monday afternoon, Tuesday,

803
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: was it today? Did they play this morning. I don't know,

804
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: but I like what the football team's got going. You know,

805
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: this is something that we've talked about for the entire year,

806
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: is that this front seven is one of the best

807
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: in the league. And if they could you know, imagine

808
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: if they would have been the ones who had signed

809
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: James Bradberry, or if they had James Bradberry in their secondary.

810
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: This could be we'll be talking about a team that's

811
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: pretty good or a defense that's exceptional. But even as

812
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: it stands right now, they're really good and you can

813
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: play them against the forty Niners. I don't expect the

814
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: forty Niners to play as poorly as they did in

815
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: their game on Monday night. They've had to have a

816
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of flexibility with their schedule, playing

817
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: in Arizona, playing their home games in Arizona really an

818
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: unusual year. I like Nick Mullins, and I like the

819
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: graphics that they were pulling up, Like he's had as

820
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: many yards in his first whatever games as Patrick Mahomes.

821
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: You're like, good for him, man, Like he'll probably be

822
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 1: an afterthought, Like no disrespect, Like you're probably not gonna

823
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: be the like, aren't gonna be talking about you thirty

824
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: years from now. But you can always pull out that

825
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: video and you can pull it out for his grandkids

826
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: and'll be like, check this out, Like what app is that?

827
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: Like it's called Twitter? Like what's Twitter? Like? I don't know,

828
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: just watch this video. I kept it just for this reason.

829
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: But that was good. But I think that we can

830
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: I think we can stream the Washington empty. Of course,

831
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: the obvious defenses you're playing. If I might say one

832
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: of the things, don't drop the Browns. The Browns still

833
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: have the Giants and the Jets coming up. They have

834
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens this week, and now you probably don't want

835
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: to play them, but they've got the Jets and the Giants,

836
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: so you might want to hold on it. Oh and

837
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: by the way, how about that kid on Twitter who

838
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: got mad at us because we were talking about the

839
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: Browns last week? Like course, hey bro, how do you

840
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: feel today? By the way, Brian Bosworth might have been

841
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: run over by bo Jackson, But Bo Jackson never made

842
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: a movie as good as Stone Cold, so that's that's

843
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: a great movie. Full of trade offs. Anyway, that was

844
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: Secure Starts presented by Visa. In the past, we would

845
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: do sits in this spot. But uh, we decided if

846
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: you want that's the problem. If you want to go

847
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: read you know who Adam Rink thinks is not going

848
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: to have a great week. Let's just let's phrase it

849
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: like that, we think these guys aren't going to have

850
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: the greatest week. If you want to read that list,

851
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: you can go check it out at nfl dot com

852
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: slash start sit. But I sort of had a question,

853
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily a straight up start sits sort

854
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: of question, but it is a roster question. There is

855
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: a debate that rages every year around this time in

856
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: fantasy Twitter about teams who maybe aren't in the playoffs

857
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: or who are in the consolation bracket of their playoffs

858
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: going out and making waiver wire claims. Where do you

859
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: fall on this on this debate here, Well, it really

860
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: depends on the structure of your league. If you have

861
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: a keeper league and there's a player that you can

862
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: pick up, like let's say Cam Akers is available in

863
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: your league and it's a keeper, I mean, that's a

864
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: that's a weird example. But if there's somebody that you

865
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: want to keep for next season, I think you should

866
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: be allowed to go out there and make the moves

867
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: that you need to make. I actually have. I missed

868
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs one year and I picked up Andrew Luck

869
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: because somebody had dropped them, and I'm like, hey, dummy,

870
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: like this is a keeper league, so I picked up Andrew. Look,

871
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: I think like that kind of stuff should be allowed.

872
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: If you have a league there's where there's a punishment

873
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: where the last place team has to purchase all the

874
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: food at the draft next year. They've got to kick

875
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: into some pot or whatever it is. If there is

876
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: something to play for in your consolation bracket, I think

877
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: that that's allowed as well. I know in a couple

878
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: of my leagues, I have set it up to where

879
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: if you if you win the consolation tournament, you get

880
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: the number one pick next year, because that, I think

881
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: rewards more than then whoever came in last gets the

882
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: second one. I think that that's a really cool option

883
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: for people. So if your leagues are like that, then

884
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, but if your consolation bracket means nothing

885
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: and there's nothing to play for, they should be locked out.

886
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: I think I've never actually been the person who has

887
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: made a waiver claim. Excuse me when out of the playoffs,

888
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: I just I'm also the sort of person who just

889
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: gets offended at people saying that I shouldn't be able

890
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: to and that makes me want to be petty and

891
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: go and do it. Um. But you know, I refrained

892
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: because I don't I don't want to be that person.

893
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: But I do think if there's something to play for,

894
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: if there is some sort of punishment, if there's some

895
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: some sort of prize or you know, or or or punishment,

896
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: like I said at the end, um, then you should

897
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: still be able to have that opportunity. But you know,

898
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: if it's just that you made the playoffs, you missed

899
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and your season is over, that's kind of

900
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: a jerk move. So so I would say, you know,

901
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: check your check your your league scoring system, check your

902
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: your your playoff settings, and and see how that works. Um.

903
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: But again, if you're just gonna, you know, be a

904
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: jerk and tell me that I just shouldn't just because

905
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like I shouldn't, then I'm gonna

906
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: be petty and I'm gonna go out there and try

907
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: to snag Ty Johnson just to irritate you, uh and

908
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: your life miserable. So that's all. Uh, this is a

909
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: lot more civil. I felt like maybe if we put

910
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: this out on on the twitters, we'll rte it would

911
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: be a conflagration of anger. H this civilly. But you

912
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: also have to ask to like the people who are

913
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: not in the playoffs and are like I'm gonna cut

914
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, like stop it, don't that's dumb too. Absolutely,

915
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: don't do that. That that's awful. We got a Thursday

916
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: night football game that's being played, fittingly enough on Thursday,

917
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl rematch from a couple of seasons ago

918
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: between the Patriots and the Rams. The quarterback, at least

919
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: on one side, is going to be different. Uh. It

920
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be Cam Newton, who we were optimistic about

921
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: before the season. And yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess.

922
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: The question is how would you describe, how would you

923
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: rate how do you feel about his his fantasy season

924
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: so far? Yeah, it's really tough because it has been

925
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. And I'm in kind of a weird

926
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: position with Cam Newton because I I feel like I'm

927
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: one of his biggest fans and one of his biggest defenders,

928
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: so I have the reward of being later that he's

929
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: playing well and winning football games. And he's got the

930
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: Patriots in the mix, and he's got them, you know,

931
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: on the outside of the playoffs and possibly getting in there.

932
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: So I feel from that perspective, I feel really great.

933
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: So it kind of it kind of bleeds into the

934
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: It makes me feel a lot better about his season

935
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: than I would if I only was using Cam as

936
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: a fantasy player. And so I think the fantasy it's

937
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: been tough because I look back at the teams, especially

938
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: I have them in a lot of super flex leagues,

939
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: and it just, you know, that part of its disappointing

940
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: because I play him every week and he's or when

941
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Obviously what he's got though, the because he's

942
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: got the touchdown potential. But I don't know, I mean,

943
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: like sometimes I just I like him as a fan,

944
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: like as a as a football fan. I just have

945
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: really enjoyed Cam season. And but I think it's telling

946
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: that in any league of consequence that I'm in, I

947
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: don't have Cam Newton as my starting fantasy quarterback. I

948
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: was rolling in one league with a combination of Cam

949
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow, and obviously, you know, lost Burrow because

950
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: of the injury. So I've I've sort of been kind

951
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: of trying to piece it together with Cam and it

952
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: has been frustrating at times. I mean, look last week

953
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: was it was a nice game, twenty three and a

954
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: half points. But he's had some games where he's been

955
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: in single digits, um, you know, and it's it's been

956
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: a weird year for him. I mean, he's got I

957
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: think he's just got five passing touchdowns, but he has

958
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: eleven rushing touchdowns, so that has sort of kind of

959
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: kept him afloat. Um. Yeah, I like watching him. I'm

960
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: a fan of Cam Newton. I think in terms of

961
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: fantasy it has it has been something that's been fairly forgettable.

962
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: I think he's like QB nineteen right now or something

963
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: like that. It's been it's been kind of forgettable. Um

964
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: you know. I think the reasons for it are are many, um,

965
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: one one of which, like you know, the receiver corps

966
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: is not great. Julian Edelman has been out forever. Um

967
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, mckillo Harry has not really shown up for

968
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: much of anything. So that has nothing to do with it.

969
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: I just like I said, I think at this point,

970
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: if you're in the playoffs, you probably have a or

971
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: quarterback option, so you may not be locked into starting

972
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: Cam every week, which you can just sit back and

973
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: watch him as a fan. I guess, and I have

974
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: to have the heart ache. I wish I was sitting

975
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: here wearing a number one Bears jersey because that would

976
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 1: have been amazing. I'm just amazed too. And I don't

977
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: know if it would have been as good if he

978
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: had gone to Chicago or anything like that, but it is.

979
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: It is telling or it's a nod of the Patriots

980
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: organization where they just they they had a quarterback who

981
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: was probably the least mobile quarterback outside of Philip Rivers

982
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and then they bring in Cam and

983
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: then you know they're having some success with it and everything.

984
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: I know Josh McDaniels, he is kind of an o

985
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: G because he had Tim Tebow for a while and

986
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: that's why we kind of thought that this could work.

987
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: But it's really impressive what they've been able to do.

988
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: It is impressive, especially when you consider their receiving corps.

989
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: I talked about to kill Harry and those guys we

990
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: have sort of latched onto some combination of Jacobe Myers

991
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: and de mere Bird. Would you consider starting any of

992
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: those guys maybe not in in season long LEAs, but

993
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: you know, daily, would you give them a look. I've

994
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: kept trying. I've been trying to hit the right combination

995
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: because there is there is a pathway there at some point.

996
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,959
Speaker 1: And last week, if you would have had in Kiel Harry,

997
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: you would have been like, Okay, this is really cool.

998
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: It's just not It's just not consistent enough. And that's

999
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: the one problem that we've seen in so Cam is

1000
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: the only guy. I like Damien Harris to a little bit,

1001
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: but it's Cam's the only guy that I really have

1002
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in starting fantasy wise, So I

1003
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: would I would probably shy away from those receivers. Yeah,

1004
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: I same. You know, I think when the matchup is great,

1005
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe I give them a shot. I don't know that

1006
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 1: the matchup is great here, and one of those guys

1007
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: is going to at least occasionally line up against Jalen Ramsey,

1008
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: which seems no bueno for for whoever is going to

1009
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: be that unlucky soul. So I would probably probably fade

1010
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: this matchup. I actually was not paying attention to my

1011
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: own rundown and realize that we're supposed to talk about

1012
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: cam Akers here. I just saw that I just saw

1013
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: that pop up. Like, dude, we are talking cam Akers.

1014
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: We were talking about cam Akers. You know that that

1015
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: that'll teach me to not actually pay attention to what

1016
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: I put in the rundown A lot of there's a

1017
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff in this Marcus, let's look friends again,

1018
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: because when Brad Pitt was on, I'm just kidding, I

1019
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: Will said that, let's in case, you know, just to

1020
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: go back to this point about the thing with cam Akers,

1021
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: why don't we talk a little bit about the Patriots

1022
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: running backs though, because what are you starting any Because

1023
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: I actually don't believe that you should start Damian Harris

1024
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: this week because the Rams are so good against the run.

1025
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: You've got Sony Michelle back, James White is there, and

1026
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: cam is still the de facto goal line running back.

1027
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: So I I I don't think that you can start

1028
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: a Patriots running back this week. I don't think you can.

1029
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Damian Harris is the guy that I liked

1030
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: the most out of that backfield, which is sort of

1031
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, James White has stepped in and had some

1032
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: some decent games, but I feel like his production is

1033
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: sort of volatile and that makes it hard. I I

1034
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are fairly done with Sony Michelle, Like

1035
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: they don't really seem to be in a hurry to

1036
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: get him back on the field. And nice producing they

1037
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: have some they've done a great job of producing. They're

1038
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: producing the hell out of this show. You guys are

1039
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: pucing the hell out of this show. It's so good,

1040
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: Like they pulled this up. But no, they had the

1041
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: Cousin stuff, they had the Demon Harris stuff. But yeah,

1042
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: I think i'd probably stay away from those guys this

1043
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: week because even with Harris when he's had his better games,

1044
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: he just doesn't score touchdowns and so it's nice to

1045
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: get that nine yards rushing, but if he can't follow

1046
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 1: it up with a touchdown, uh, then I feel bad.

1047
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: So I would probably avoid those guys there. Yeah, he

1048
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: had uh I'm looking at it right now. He had

1049
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: of the snaps last week, Sonny Michelle still got thirty

1050
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: three percent. I don't know if that's because it was

1051
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: a blowout and perhaps I checked out of that game

1052
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: a little too early and didn't notice it, but it's

1053
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: like it's it's still annoying, like, oh my gosh, I mean,

1054
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: hopefully they were just pulling him out because you know,

1055
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: it was so one sided, but it's still an annoying thing.

1056
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: I expect this to be a lot like that Super Bowl,

1057
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: where it's not gonna be a lot of points. It's

1058
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot of fun for a lot

1059
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: of people. If you're starting any of these guys for

1060
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: your fantasy team, you're probably not gonna enjoy it as much.

1061
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: Check it out on NFL Network Thursday night, but please

1062
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: tune in, please watch. So the season is still going on,

1063

00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: You can find it streaming at NFL dot com, on

1066
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: the apps and YouTube as well. It's got Rank, it's

00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: got Jimmy Checks, It's got Michael f Florio. What are

1068
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: you talking about this week on the show. Well, you know,

1069
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: it's it's funny because Kimmy has connections to both the

1070
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: Saints and the Chiefs, so I I want to see

1071
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: where her loyalties will fall at those two teams meet

1072
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But we do have uh some great,

1073
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: some great nuggets on Taysom Hill, so we're gonna get

1074
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: into that deep dive a little bit. And also it's

1075
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: my annual push to convince people next season to draft

1076
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey at the end of the first round, perhaps

1077
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: the early second round, so that and Michael left Florio

1078
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 1: will be in there dropping knowledge like he usually does.

1079
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: So if you can check out fantasy bites, we would

1080
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. It's been a really fun show. It's first year,

1081
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: and uh, I hope you enjoyed. If you enjoy this show,

1082
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: you should enjoy that show. I will sign your Travis

1083
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey petition by the way, I'm I'm totally down with that.

1084
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: Let me let me just sign like I'll give you

1085
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: a little little tease on that. So imagine where you

1086
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: drafted Michael Thomas this season. How different would your roster

1087
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: look if you had taken Kelsey there instead of Michael Thomas.

1088
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about driveling. We've had to scrounge around on

1089
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: the waiver wire nearly as much, certainly. Um alright, let's

1090
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: do some some quick wire taps before we get out

1091
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: of here. Guys that you might have either picked up

1092
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire or more importantly, maybe guys in

1093
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: in daily fantasy that are going to be potential values

1094
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: that you might consider putting in your lineup. So start

1095
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: with Ty Johnson, who came in had a hundred yards

1096
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: last week against the Raiders after Frank Gore without went

1097
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: out with an injury. So, you know, just sort of saying,

1098
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: let's let's hypothetically say Frank Gore is not available this week,

1099
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: would you consider thy Johnson against the Seahawks. Yeah, this

1100
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: is more of a daily play for me. I love it.

1101
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up being a very great

1102
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: value for you. It's a little risky. This is the

1103
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing that if it's a week eight and

1104
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm in the bye week how and I'm trying to

1105
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: find a running back, then let's give thy Johnson a shot.

1106
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: But to me, if I'm looking between him and somebody

1107
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: like Giovanni Bernard, and I know Giovanni Bernard did not

1108
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: come through for us last week, I would rather dial

1109
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: up Giovanni Bernard against the Cowboys and Thai Jo. I

1110
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: know it's very specific, but I think the point is is,

1111
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: I think he might have better options in your season

1112
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: long leaks. In season long, definitely, but daily, I would

1113
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: certainly look at Thai Johnson if Frank Wrek comes back,

1114
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: then this is all a moot point. But if if

1115
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is not there this week, then I think

1116
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: Johnson sees the ball quite a bit. Uh. Andy Dalton

1117
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: has a against the Cincinnati Bengals. Again, probably not so

1118
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: much in season long, but day would you would you

1119
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: think about the red rifle against his old club, By

1120
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: the way, there's a lot of good revenge games. So

1121
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: you have this one. You have Matt Alex Smith against

1122
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. You've got Young way Coup

1123
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: against the Charge. There's a lot of good ones. I

1124
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: have been burned though too many times, thinking that Andy

1125
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: Dalton is going to have a good game like this is.

1126
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: He'll come out and he'll play really well. And obviously

1127
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns against the Ravens was significant. He's got the Bengals,

1128
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: which is a great matchup. But I would rather look

1129
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: at other quarterbacks again. Week eight and I'm having a laugh,

1130
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: you know I need to. I'm in a bind at

1131
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback position. I'll give Andy right, Andy Dalton. I

1132
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: was gonna say, Andy rifle, Andy Dalton shot here like

1133
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: it's fine, like it's cool. But fantasy playoffs, I just

1134
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: don't see it unless it's I don't even know what

1135
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: the necessity would be. I don't know, Like there's nobody

1136
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: on a bye week, nobody's injured, So I don't know

1137
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: what you I don't know who you've been playing. I

1138
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: do want to say this too, if you if you

1139
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: are looking at quarterbacks, the only thing that I would consider,

1140
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: I know, like in week fifteen, Russell Wilson has the

1141
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: Washington ft and the way Russell has been playing this season,

1142
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, or the end of the season. I

1143
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I want to start him against Washington

1144
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: next week. I'm really concerned about that. So I went

1145
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: to go see if Brady was available. I went to

1146
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: go We talked about Kirk Cousins earlier in the show,

1147
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: even West Coast Trabiski himself, Jared Goff, it's got the

1148
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: Jets in week fifteen. If I'm making a move at

1149
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback position this week, that's what I'm looking at.

1150
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to hone in on, looking at

1151
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: my matchups moving forward, and so that's that's kind of

1152
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 1: where my head's at right now. All Right, I probably wouldn't.

1153
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you on on Dalton though this week against

1154
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals, I've been burned too much. I can't do it. Um.

1155
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: Last one Colin Johnson, who has had a couple of

1156
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: decent games back to back against the Titans, whose secondary

1157
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: has been kind of awful. Any interest there in Colin Johnson? Yeah,

1158
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson has been interesting. I do notice to the

1159
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: the DJ Chark was still the most targeted guy last

1160
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: this week he had seven targets. I believe Colin had six,

1161
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 1: so it's really close. I don't know why I'm still

1162
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: such a mark for DJ Chark and one that's gonna

1163
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: be a thing. I don't know. It's a great matchup,

1164
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: Like you know, the Jags are gonna score thirty points

1165
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: in that game. It's just deciding at this point of

1166
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: the season, which one of these running or which one

1167
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: of these receivers that you want to go with. And

1168
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't have a trust level in

1169
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: either one of those guys. And again, hopefully you know

1170
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: we've gotten to this point. I know D J. Moore

1171
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: was on the COVID list, so perhaps you have to

1172
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: go look at somebody. I don't know. I gotta go

1173
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: back and watch the Jags again. I gotta figure this

1174
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: out because I might have because I still have DJ Chart.

1175
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to play him, although I

1176
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: have cam Akers. I'm as long as cam Akers is

1177
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: ready to go tomorrow, that's gonna be my flexile. I

1178
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: know I'm talking through my my own personal but I

1179
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: just think that there's other situations where I have more

1180
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: trust and as much as I want to believe in

1181
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: the Jags, I love everything that Tony Cohn is doing

1182
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: for a W because that's been amazing. The Jags or whatever,

1183
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: but a W has been amazing. Kenny Omega was on

1184
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: Impact on Tuesday. There's a lot of cool things going on.

1185
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: It's a long way to say that I'm probably not

1186
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: trusting Colin Johnson this week. That's fair. I can't figure

1187
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: out Jaguars receivers, and I tend to just you know,

1188
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: get sucked into esither recency bias or I just can

1189
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: come back to La Viscus channel because that's where I

1190
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: was at the start of the love that guy. There's

1191
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: been very little in between for me. So I could

1192
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: see a situation where I talk myself into maybe flexing

1193
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson or at least putting him in a daily

1194
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: line up just to see what happens. Because again, can

1195
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,479
Speaker 1: we say DraftKings. Are we not allowed to like Draft

1196
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: Kings in Draft Kings. If I'm putting together a Draft

1197
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: Kings lineup DraftKings lines, I always feel bad Sometimes when

1198
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: I say daily, I'm like, I only likes. I don't

1199
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: know the show, sponsor the show, so I'm sure they're

1200
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 1: they're thrilled that we're saying but they're awesome. Yeah, Draft Kings,

1201
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: sure you're playing with them. If you're doing Daily and

1202
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: you're not doing DraftKings, I think you're dropping the ball.

1203
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll say it. I'll put it out there. You're probably

1204
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: doing it wrong. So, which seems like a good note

1205
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: for us to end on, because that is it. We

1206
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL

1207
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football show presented by Draft Kings. You know the drill.

1208
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review, and

1209
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: remember it's a little bit unfair that only one company

1210
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: gets to make monopoly. Be safe, take care of yourselves,

1211
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: wear a mask, and we will see you on Friday. Woe.

1212
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm coming.
