15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: three o'clock Eastern. I'm Elliott Harrison and I am joined

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: as always with NFL dot Com Fantasy Editor Michael Fabriano.

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: And you heard the sought full there, DeMarco Murray. That

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: was the voice of resignation from Cowboys, played by play

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: announcer Brad Sham telling you DeMarco Murray is down. DeMarco

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Murray fabs. It's been a nice little player in fantasy

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: this year. Not a lot of touchdowns, but great production.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: It's tough to see him go down typical Cowboys. Listen,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Elliot and I are not gonna make any bones about

24
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: the fact that we both root for America's team. And

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more sick because number one, you know,

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: I called that game. I said the Giants were gonna

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: win because Conna lose every week because they this is

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: what this is what I'm used to now, choking h

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: by Jason Garrett, Wade Phillips, whoever the coach of the

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys is in that team. But I was obviously rooting

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Uh it looked good after des Bryant

32
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: costs that touch on pass and then uh the roof

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: fell in on the Cowboys. But the thing that killed

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: me the most was that not only did my Cowboys

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: lose to the Giants, who I despise as a as

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: a New England Cowboys fan, um a fan of the

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys from New England, let me get that correct, but

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: also I played in a fantasy league against the team

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: that had Leron, Robinson and Austin and Miles Austin. I

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: was ahead thirty points going into the night and I lost.

41
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: So not only did my did my Cowboys choke against

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: the Giants, but my fantasy team lost because two of

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the players from my favorite team were good enough to

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: beat me in face. And it would be okay, you

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind losing your fantasy game if your team wins,

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: because those great games, and they were great. But I

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: got the double whammy with losing in my fantasy league.

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: Although I'm still alive in seven of eight, so I'll

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: take it and I've got uh. I've got some big

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: matchups this weekend, but that one was was very tough

51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: to swallow, just like fantasy owners who have just lost

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: to Marcot Murray. That's gonna be tough to swallow because

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: he's a guy who's been basically uh locked in your

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: starting lineup for the better part of the last four

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: or five weeks, and now if you didn't handcuff him

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: with Felix Jones, you're hurting net running back. And the

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: thing that's even more depressing from a fantasy perspective is

58
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: that the matchups over the next two weeks are sick

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: good Man. I mean, you've got the Buccaneers who have

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: given up the most fantasy points to running backs this year,

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: and then you've got the Eagles who can't stop the run.

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Their linebackers stink. And it's it's funny too. You know,

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Elliott uh is still live in the NFL Network League

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: as am I, and Elliot's complaining about the fact that

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: he's got to start backup running backs because he's lost

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Darren's Darren McFadden. You've lost Matt Forte, but you're still

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: starting Lynch. What do you have? Barber and Benson. Marian

68
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Barber right now is a good start, and so is

69
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Felix Jones if you pick him up off the wave.

70
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Who would have thought Marian Barber would put up eighteen

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy points last week. But just to stay on with

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray, Listen, if you're out there and Felix

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Jones is somehow sitting on your waiver wire clicks submit,

74
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: you better get him now, submit grab him, grab him,

75
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: grab him. And you know we always talk about handcuffing. Forget.

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: If you had to Marco Murray, if Felix Jones is

77
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: sitting out there prohibit Even if you've got running backs,

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: if you got a spot on your bench, why not

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: just take him so that somebody else can't get him.

80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: He can't be he can't be owned in. Uh, you're

81
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: checking right now, aren't you. You're checking on NFL dot com. See,

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: he's gone in most leagues right now. Unfortunately he's he's

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: owned in about and still not. But that's still but still.

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these leagues are dead. A

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: lot of people a kind of dropped the ball fairly

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: on in the season. So you would think Felix Jones

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be gone unless you're in an eight team

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: league or six team league. And at that point, I

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: don't know why you're playing in fast exactly. Speaking of

90
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: big time running backs, Adrian Peterson back at practice. Yeah,

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's gonna be back. Vikings coach

92
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser said earlier this week that he expects him

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: a play against the Saints, which means Toby Gerhart goes

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: from your fantasy flex spot back to the bench. Yeah.

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: This is not a This is not an Arian Foster

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: Ben take deal. No, Uh, this is a situation where

97
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Gearhart goes back to your bench. Adrian Peterson gets back

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: in your lineup, and I have a D in two leagues.

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm still live in both of those leagues. I also

100
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: had Gearhart, uh and Gearhart was good the last couple

101
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: of weeks, very good. He did a valiant job of

102
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: filling in for Adrian Peterson from a fantasy perspective. Gave

103
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: you something. He gave you more than something. He was

104
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: really good. And now that Adi is back, you plug

105
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: him right back in your lineup. I hope there's no

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: sort of setbacks with the ankle, but I don't think

107
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings would bring him back unless they knew that

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: he was going to be a full go going a

109
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent. The Vikings aren't playing for anything right now.

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: This is a team that has no playoff aspiration. So, uh,

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: you're you're you're very fortunate. If you do have a D,

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: you're still alive, and he's coming back this week. Well,

113
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: let's stay with the elite running back theme. Darren McFadden.

114
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, Hugh Jackson was on the record as saying

115
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: that he thought he would play this year. But if

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: you're hoping for Darren McFadden to return this weekend, when

117
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: they have the home game against the Lions. I would say, fat,

118
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: fat chance, is he your first round pick next year.

119
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: I actually thought about that a couple of weeks ago,

120
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: as far as like a discussion for our NFL Network

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: version of n I don't think he can either. He

122
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: can't be. I got McFadden this year, I believe ninth

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: or tenth in the first round, thinking you got a good,

124
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: good in our NFL network league, and I got fourte

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: we it's snake Draft, so I got forte, you know,

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: with the third pick in the second round. I think

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: at the very least those are swapped next year. McFadden

128
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: to me is probably a second rounder and now early second,

129
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: early to mid sure. Um, But boy, I'll tell you something.

130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: He's killed a lot of teams over the last couple

131
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: of years. Last year, I believe he missed three games.

132
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: This year, it's been several more. And what's funny is

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: that it didn't seem like it was a serious injury,

134
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, well, he even got a ittle

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: a limp, maybe maybe a week or two. And now

136
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't played in how many weeks? Now? Elliott, and

137
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: you're going into a situation where if you have Michael Bush,

138
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: and you handcuffed Bush with for McFadden. You're hoping that

139
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: McFadden doesn't come back because Michael Bush has been fantastic

140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: outside a one game, he scored double digit fantasy points

141
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: every single week and less of a headache. I don't

142
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: have to worry about a backfield committee. I don't have

143
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: to worry about McFadden and Bush sharing the load. Bush

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: is the guy you bet in your reference. McFadden getting

145
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: hurt a long time ago. It was October, so it's

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: been almost two months when he came up from a tackle,

147
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: just kind of hobbling a little bit, but I think

148
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: they dropped the dreaded plantar fasciitis. Yeah, injury and ironic

149
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: that he plays on my team, whatever that things, Frank.

150
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Another running back um who's on one of your fantasy

151
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: teams is Matt Forte, and love You Smith said today

152
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: uh that he is not ruling Forte out for Sunday's

153
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but Lovey

154
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Smith quoted as saying, we hope Forte place Sunday, but

155
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: we don't exactly know how long it will be. We

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: still expect him to be back sometime this year. So

157
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: this is why we told people last week, don't drop

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, hold on to him, wait and see what

159
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: happens for me. I don't have Forte in any leagues,

160
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: and I have Mary and Barber in a couple, so selfishly,

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Forte doesn't come back. But um, you hate

162
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: abs on that. You hate to see a guy in

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: a contract here who's played his heart out this year.

164
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he has been awesome. You hate to see

165
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: him hurt. And if I'm playing against somebody, I don't

166
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want their guys to be hurt.

167
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: I like beating people at full strength. Maybe I'm the

168
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: rare fantasy players, and I like beating him when their

169
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: teams all banged up with injuries. Yeah, but you know,

170
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: to the point of Forte, Okay, I have Benson, I

171
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: have Lynch, I have Barber. If Forte comes back, I'd

172
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: have a real decision on my hands. Yeah, because Benson's

173
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: got a great matchup. Lynch has been a nut for

174
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: ten weeks. For the better part of the season has

175
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: been great. And what's funny is that Lynch got dropped

176
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: in some leagues after the first three or four weeks

177
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: because he did nothing. And then you're looking at who Barber,

178
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: who I know would get the goal line. I mean

179
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: Forte's back, you play, you play him over Barbara. But

180
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: if you can't think that he would get a full load, yeah,

181
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: I can't expect. I can't expect fort to be back.

182
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: I can't either. Maybe Lovey Smith is again just it's

183
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: just wishful thinking. Either way, though, I think you have

184
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: to play Forte. I'm fortunate I drafted Benson and I

185
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: got Lynch very late in my draft. Most people don't

186
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: have backup running backs that get the kind of workload

187
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: that Benson and Lynch get. If Forte comes back, as

188
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: much as you hate to do it, you're gonna have

189
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: to play him. Even if the guy's limping out there

190
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: and running se you just have to go with him.

191
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: There's no way you can sit a guy that ILK,

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And that is a scenario

193
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: that a lot of fanciers are gonna be dealing with.

194
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: You talk about a player of that ILK, You're talking

195
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: about several running backs with horrible matchups. This week, Frank

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: Gorey against the Steelers, who they will be without James Harrison.

197
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: It looks like which is gonna help Gore, but he's

198
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: also not healthy, and Jim Harbaugh has said that we're

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: Shard Mendenhall against the Niners. Listen, any running back that

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: faces the Niners, unless his name is Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster,

201
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: Leshawn McCoy, you can't play him. No, they do nothing.

202
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells was held the next to nothing. You're also

203
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: looking at a matchup with Lynch, who again has been

204
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: nuts lately. He's been fantastic, but he's playing the Bears,

205
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: who have been so good since that Monday night debaco

206
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: in Detroit. But I want to get to Green Bay

207
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: real quick because we know Greg Jennings is out for

208
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: the fantasy season. We talked today on Fantasy Live on

209
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: the Network about potentially picking up Ryan Grant, And oh,

210
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: by the way, should should be mentioned here that we're

211
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna have Darren Sharper on after the break, former Packers

212
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: great safety, former Saints great safety. He's gonna talk a

213
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: little fantasy with us coming up after the first break.

214
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: But Ryan Grant fantasy value. Your thoughts assuming James Starks

215
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: doesn't come back this week, Uh, maybe he's a low tour.

216
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: It's a keeps play because he's had one good game

217
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: all year, and it was last week. The thing is

218
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: the chief stink out loud against the run. They can't

219
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: stop the run. And if Starks is out, Brandon Satan

220
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: didn't see much burned last week, didn't put a big

221
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: dent into Ryan Grant's opportunities in the backfield. So and

222
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: then the sheer volume of guys that are hurt. I mean,

223
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: sure you're here in a twelve team league. It is

224
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: slim pickens right now. There's no doubt about it. I

225
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: mean we're in week fifteen that there is next to

226
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: nothing out there. You're gonna have to roll with somebody.

227
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: Jones and Ryan Grant were available in like thirty or

228
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: of NFL dot Com. League's heading into this round of

229
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: the waivers was surprising to me. Maybe not so much

230
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Felix Jones, but DeMarco Murray was so good, so maybe

231
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: he had sort of become an afterthought. But Ryan Grant

232
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: the second James Starks got hurt. I think this guy's

233
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: got to be owned in leagues, even though he's done

234
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: nothing all season. And this is a guy who's a

235
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: two time twelve yard rusher in the National Football League

236
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: and had some good matchups. Good match up last week,

237
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: good matchup this week. He's no lock, He's don't lock.

238
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: But at this point in the season with the injury,

239
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: can you mention you're rolling the dice on Some guys

240
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: can roll the dice on mol Morris Man have roll

241
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: the dice on Pierre Thomas. These are guys that you

242
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: genuinely generally want to avoid. Now, Pierre Thomas was fortunate

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: last week that Ingram didn't play, but he still didn't

244
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: do anything of the sudden saw more work. So and

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: this is one of those things, guys, you can't kick yourself.

246
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: You can't kick yourself. Because Pierre Thomas looked like he

247
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: was a good sleeper last week, a good option. I

248
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: started him in one of my leagues because Ingram was out.

249
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Now Chris Ivy comes out of nowhere and sees more work,

250
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: uh than Pierre Thomas, and you scratch your head. And

251
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: now you have to deal with that. With the Packers

252
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You know Greg Jennings was going to get

253
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: his his targets. You know Jordy Nelson was gonna get

254
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: his targets. Now Jennings is gone. You're looking at driver?

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: Is it Jones? Jamchael Finley will certainly see McCarthy saying

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: he's not going to rest his guys, making educated guest guys.

257
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: And that is the best you can do. You can't

258
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: kick yourself because you're not in the meeting rooms with

259
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: these coaches and players weekend in a week out. If

260
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: if we were, and it probably wouldn't be as much fun,

261
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: and we would have known about a mod Bradshaw, Oh god,

262
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: I started him. Luckily it didn't hurt me. But yeah,

263
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: what was that? Hey? Hey, hey NFL players, you make

264
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: a millions of millions and millions of dollars? Can you

265
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: get to the meeting on time? Can you not break curfew?

266
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, guys, especially at this stage of

267
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: this season when the Giants fighting for their playoff lines

268
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys got de Shan Jackson, get your heads

269
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: on straight. We're gonna have to break here. We're gonna

270
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: get more into the Packers with Darren Sharper coming up next.

271
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: We've been hitting the running game a lot, We're gonna

272
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: hit the passing game next. And I like your your question.

273
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I may have to pose that to Darren. Would he

274
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: take McFadden in the first round next year. If he's

275
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: sitting there when he's picking a tent or a lot,

276
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: I want to know. Darren who a teammate of Aaron

277
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers at one point in his career. Were they together?

278
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I think one season you see the number one pick

279
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: of Darren's Darren Sharper. Next week, you know, look that up.

280
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed to say I have to look that up.

281
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember what years Sharper went to the Vikings.

282
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: It's either all five rows six, it was close. It's

283
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: very close. NFL Fantasy Live will be back in a

284
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:25,600

Speaker 1: out there. Is he the same guy when there's like

292
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: a really bad action movie goes in the world Oh god,

293
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Okay, I don't think so. But

294
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny though. That was Mr. It's the coolest thing.

295
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Was the coolest thing for me was last year. Um

296
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: we did like a Fantasy roundtable and Pat Summer all

297
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: did a voice over and had my name and Adam Rank.

298
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: That was awesome, awesome because as a Cowboys fan, I've

299
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: listened to Pats some were all gazillion times. I know

300
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: you know the same. I love me some Pat Summer All,

301
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: but I also loved me some Guns and Roses and

302
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: that was Mr Brownstone Guns and Roses. I am going

303
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: on Tuesday with our producer, Jeff Tally. He wanted me

304
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: to double date with one of his girl's friends, who

305
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: I think is just a stick in the mud. So

306
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: I said, no, I'm taking a buddy of mine that

307
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: actually likes G and R. What do you have to

308
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: say about that? If I'm gonna listen to Rocket Queen,

309
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: I want someone that can appreciate it with me. But

310
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: enough about gene R. We've got Darren Sharper on the line.

311
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: I bet you Darren Sharper is a big Guns and

312
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Roses fan, completely closet. What do you think. Let's ask him, Darren.

313
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: You a big Guns and Roses fan is one of

314
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: the names of a Guns and Rolls this song I

315
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: don't sound. I don't know how how well you know

316
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison, but these kind of things come out of

317
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: his mouth occasionally, so you gotta roll with it. Let's

318
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: be honest. Darren Sharper was playing in the late nineties

319
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: with guys like Eugene Robinson and Robert Brooks, and that's

320
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: so now that he's not playing this year, you know

321
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: he's at home listening to James Ingram Live, you know,

322
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: on his home stereo. Do you know, Harrison, what were

323
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: you singing yesterday? Was that Peebo Bryson? Eboe Bryson? Don't

324
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: don't do Peobo Bryson is good? All right? So, Darren,

325
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: I we have a very specific question right off the

326
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: top for you that that's been coming up a lot

327
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: on our television version of Fantasy Live. If you're sitting

328
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: there in your fantasy draft, and I know you play

329
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy football and you somehow end up with the first pick,

330
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: are you taking Aaron Rodgers? Oh guarantee, Aaron Rodgers's cherry

331
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: my team. So I have to take so you have

332
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: team right now. Yeah, I drafted him. He was my

333
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: first tack and he's tastually carry my take because I've

334
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: had no production from anyone else on my squad. Maybe

335
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: all Green Big Defense has done okay, but he's carried

336
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: my teams this year. He had to be the top

337
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: fantasy point geter for us for the year so far.

338
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: So are you still alive? Yes, he is. Are you

339
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: still alive in your league with Rogers under center? One

340
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: of my old striff Coast told me one time, but

341
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: you won't believe this, but MATCHA he got knocked out. Bro.

342
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: I talked to you the other day and I told

343
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: you I thought I was in the playoffs. I won

344
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: my last game, had a record of nine and four.

345
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: But with all the type breakers, we had about four

346
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: different teams that were tied this year, and I lost

347
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: my type breaker, which made no sense to me because

348
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: I had the best I had a better conference record

349
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: than the guy that got in the playoffs of me,

350
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: But it just so happened when we faced each other

351
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: this year, he beat me. So that was the higher

352
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: type breaker than the conference brecord, which makes no sense

353
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: to me. You went nine and four and didn't make

354
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. WHOA, that's that's then you must add some

355
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: really bad teams in that league and went like two

356
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: and eleven. That's wow, we did so okay. So another

357
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: thing that we're debating here that I think you would

358
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: be excellent on is Darren McFadden. I have him on

359
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: my team, Darren and and he look, Darren McFadden's a beast.

360
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: He produces when he's in there, but he gets hurt

361
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: all the time. Can you spend the first round if

362
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: you're picking, let's say tenth next year and you can't

363
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: get Rogers, would you spend a tenth the tenth pick

364
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: overall and Darren McFadden or do you think he's a

365
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: second or third round guy? I put him as a

366
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: second third round pick. I don't believe any There's three

367
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: running backs that you could draft in the first round

368
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: if you ask me, and that's gonna be in this

369
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: three four years span. And those are gonna be Adrian Peterson.

370
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Every year he's gonna put up numbers. Right, you would

371
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: say Stephen Jackson that this year? Who else would I

372
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: add to that category? You have to put Ray Rice

373
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: that category and the saw Nicole who burked into the team,

374
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: but you didn't know what Lasa McCoy what was going

375
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: to do until this year. So every year, regardless of

376
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: the name, it's gonna be only three running backs. I

377
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: believe that you can probably draft with first round draft

378
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: in the first round because injury has always come into play.

379
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: And you have to think that a running back position,

380
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: even if they start off hot, teams cater their defensive

381
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: team to store out running back when they are being

382
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: extremely productive. And there's only three guys usually in the

383
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: whole NFL that can that can still be productive through

384
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: a defensive team being hittered towards slowing them down. So

385
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: I would put three to four three or four guys

386
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: that you always draft in the first round at running position.

387
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: Besides that you can get the running back in the

388
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: later rounds. With that in mind, Does that mean that

389
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: fast Freddie Jackson. No way you'd spend a first round

390
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: pick on him up in Buffalo. No. I don't think

391
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: you a drast Freddy Jackson in the first round, especially

392
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: an upcoming seasons. Um, he's had a he had a

393
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: heck of a start to the season. But once again

394
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: we talked about the injuries and also the team that

395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: he played for as a big, big factor. So I

396
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: don't think I would addracted him in the first round. Hey, Darren,

397
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: So obviously you're big on Aaron Rodgers being the number

398
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: one overall pick next season. He's the top score in

399
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: fantasy football this year as a former defensive back and

400
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: a guy who was just phenomenal for the Saints and

401
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: Vikings in terms of increasing their fantasy value defensively, What

402
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: rules specifically have been implemented by the NFL that have

403
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: made it so easy for quarterbacks to put up big

404
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: numbers right now, because you're looking at t J. Yates

405
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: throwing for big numbers, You're seeing rookies who never had

406
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: great seasons at the quarterback position. Just lighten up the scoreboard.

407
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: What are some of the reasons and rules that have

408
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: changed that have made so much of a difference in

409
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: terms of turning the NFL into this passing league. Yeah,

410
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely turning into a passing league. The rules are

411
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: catered towards office. It has been that way for a while,

412
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: especially now with the rules of course, the penalty and

413
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: the hit that you you you get fines for for

414
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: hitting guys low. You can't touch the quarterback pretty much.

415
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: UH is becoming a flag football league in regards to

416
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback, where he can't get hit. So you know,

417
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna always be in the be there.

418
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna always you know, be able to be healthy.

419
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to play a game after game,

420
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: and that's why you see the type of production that

421
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: they're playing. But when you speak of a t. J.

422
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: Yates his production and his success, I think it's more

423
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: because of the offense that he runs. UH. They have

424
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: a great scheme in the Houston Texas and that's why

425
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: they've been so effective. And they have great tight ends.

426
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: You know, Andrey Johnson has been in and out, so

427
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: he's not really amazed in that production area. But I

428
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: think just that offensive scheme has allowed him to be productive.

429
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: But overall, you gotta take we we probably have five

430
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks playing currently UH that you can

431
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: put in the top twenty of all time. You know,

432
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: you think of with Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady's

433
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, Peyton Manning was out this year, but you'll

434
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: put them back in the in the mix once he

435
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: becomes healthy. And then you besides that, you know, I

436
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't know if anyone else is consider the top twenty.

437
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: But you have guys that are extremely productive in a

438
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: match out who's out. But you think about those quarterbacks,

439
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna put up numbers each and every year. So uh,

440
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: that's I think it's a more of a reason why

441
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: you see the type of numbers and guys are putting out.

442
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: The rules do help you know the facts. You can't

443
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: touch the quarterback, you can't knock them around. I think

444
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: back into the to the game we played in two

445
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: thousand nine against the Minnesota Vikings. If you look back

446
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: at that games, the NFC Championship game, passing the afferents

447
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: in overtime, Yeah, that was the way we knock Brent

448
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: Farm around. That entire game will let you know that

449
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: the rules nowadays would have gotten at least four penalties

450
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: that game. That could have changed to make above that

451
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: the final outcome of that game. So that's the difference

452
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: in today's game now as far as you can't hit

453
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. If you touched the quarterback, it's gonna be

454
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: a penalty, and that's gonna give up the offense more

455
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to continue their drive. And that has changed the

456
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: landscape of why offices that have have so much success

457
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: this this year. Yeah, and you guys got that t

458
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: I that set up Hartley's field goal and overtime to

459
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: to win the game. But okay, so you mentioned Yates.

460
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Houston's playing Carolina. Okay, so let's pretend that Darren Sharper's

461
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: trying to win his playoff game. You don't have Aaron Rodgers.

462
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's say Philip Rivers as your starting quarterback. He's got

463
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Philip Rivers, t J. Yates is facing the Panthers.

464
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: Would you risk starting a guy like t J. Yates

465
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: over Philip Rivers for your fantasy playoff game? Yes? I would, wow,

466
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: because Philip Rivers is facing a defense that is very stout,

467
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: does not allow teams to throw the ball on them.

468
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: I know Philip Rivers is trying to in his team,

469
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: is trying to lead his team to a playoff birth,

470
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: and that's going to probably add a little bit more

471
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more value to what you think he'll

472
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: do against the Ravens. But I just think that defense

473
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: of the Ravens is so so good that you don't

474
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: want to you want to, you don't want to start

475
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: any quarterback against them. Now T J. Yeats against a

476
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: subpar Carolina team, that is pretty much you know, looking

477
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: forward to the offseason, you expect them to have a

478
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: lot more production, to have a lot more success versus

479
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: of Carolina defense that's young in spots in the secondary.

480
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh as compared to a veteran defense in the Baltimore Ravens. Right.

481
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, I was Darren. I was showing Michael Fabiano

482
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: your stats from two thousand nine. You had nine picks

483
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: and you returned nine interceptions for three hundred and seventy

484
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: six yards. You average forty two yards per return, and

485
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: you scored three touchdowns. Would you believe that that's more touchdowns?

486
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: And DeMarco Murray scored this year? Uh? Not surprised. Actually

487
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: that year I had more touchdowns than a lot of

488
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: guys probably had. Uh that season and maybe another season

489
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: and actually should have had for if we really want

490
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: to talk about it, if it wasn't for a fake

491
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: penalty called on a hit against Eli Manning and I

492
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: picked off the Eli Manning. The score on that one,

493
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: But we're not gonna you know that game. I remember that,

494
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: I remember that that play and that's fourth pick would

495
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: have been would have been the record pick. So I'm

496
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better still about Yeah, he Darren, Back

497
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: when you were playing, uh, did you see, uh in

498
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: in the fans and the responses and and and and

499
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: just talking to people, how big fantasy football was becoming,

500
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: and did you see it becoming as huge a hobby? Uh?

501
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: And it really it's kind of become a passion phenomenon

502
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: and passion for fantasy fans um as it has, I mean,

503
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: and it's really exploded over the last couple of years. Oh,

504
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: it has. It has definitely exploded. And I really noticed,

505
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: I want to say, my last year or two in Minnesota,

506
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: when people started to come up to me and say, hey, man,

507
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: the intercepts you had put me on the top. I

508
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: won the game. I was like, what, Yeah, we won

509
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: the game. We no no know that in the football game.

510
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about my fantasy

511
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: league game. I'm like, what experience? And then I really

512
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: noticed it when I go into the stores. Uh, let's

513
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: say I go to into a wall graze or go

514
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: to a bookstore. They look upon the sales and usually

515
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: I go before the season starts to this guy look

516
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: at the pre preseason um books, whether it's um Lendy's,

517
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: whether it's UH sports illustrated predictions on the season and

518
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: have evaluation of players. And I kind of just looked

519
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: and see what you know, the different critics are saying

520
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I cannot sign any books that were just strictly about

521
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: the football team. All the magazine were about fantasy football.

522
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: I was like, are you serious? In every magazine was

523
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: all the fantasy football picks. And that let me know

524
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: that fantasy football had taken over. Uh, And that was

525
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: that was just stuck me, but it was it's a

526
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: good thing and it's a lot of fun. And I

527
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: actually jumped on board because I got in the fantasy

528
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: football the last three years. That's funny you mentioned that,

529
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: because when I went to Germany, you see, my brother

530
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: and I saw fantasy magazines overseas. They were a little

531
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: bit different kind of fantasy, but they had a lot

532
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: of fantasy magazines over there. Harrison's always got his head

533
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: and again the late the late night fantasies over there. Right, well,

534
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: there we gotta go. We had to take a break here.

535
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: We really appreciate you coming on and uh, I hope

536
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: to see you more around NFL. Campus. Uh, you did

537
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: a heck of a job last week, and uh, I

538
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: hope to see you on our air a lot more. Yes, sir,

539
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys having me off. Thanks Darren, Thanks Darren.

540
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: All right, Darren Sharper former, great safety, and man was

541
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: he fun to watch or what I mean? He's a

542
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: bat hawk. He's like it ruined out and what was

543
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: great about him? And you know, I'm gonna spend this

544
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: back fantasy is because is when he played for the Saints,

545
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: and this is what I remember mostly when he played

546
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Boy, that defense got aggressive and he

547
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: was making plays and and having having a major impact

548
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: from a fantasy respect of the same thing in Minnesota.

549
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: A very very solid defensive back in his career. It's

550
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: very rare that a defensive back can up the value

551
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: of a fantasy defense the way Sharper could. But when

552
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: you have eleven career touchdown returns, you tend to do that.

553
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: We're gotta take a break when it come back with

554
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: some starts and sits and some of your calls. But

555
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: for now, it is your fantasy fix. This is NFL

00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,960

571
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't that. He's just one of those things where

572
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: this is this Guns and Roses or is this Axel

573
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,840

577
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: about some quarterbacks. Yeah, because Axel was kind of the

578
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: quarterback that's kind of like Motley Crue with Bence, totally

579
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: different without Vince Nil. I mean it didn't. I don't

Speaker 1: want to listen to a little chubby Vince Neil. You know,

581
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Vince Neil is great. If he's with all the other guys,

582
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: he's fine, he's fine. We gotta take some calls here too.

Speaker 1: real if slashes in the band? Jeff? Can you uh

587
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: solve this debate? In the band only one slashes in

588
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: the that band it should be called Axel Rose band,

589
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: and it's Axel Rose, who's probably about what seventy pounds

590
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: overweight by now, with bicycle shorts, and yeah, that's what

591
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,280

00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells. That's exactly what I'm going. Matchup. I love

601
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: their thirty first against the run. I love both matchups,

602
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: but I'll go Beanie Wells. You said it like I

603
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: was wrong when I said it's so bad, they're only terrible,

604
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: They're terrible. I would go Beanie Wells, Jeff, that's uh.

605
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: I wish you could play them both though. Well, I'll

606
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: tell you what, Beanie Wells. It's not been very good lately,

607
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: but you're wrong. You're wrong. Last week he was not

608
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: very good. The week before against the Cowboys, just scored

609
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The week before he had like yards in

610
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Well, lately, I'm thinking last week he didn't

611
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: I have him on my team. I was upset, all right,

612
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: the Niners stop everybody I know, but every you know

613
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: hanging around with you. I'm starting to get a Southern accent.

614
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start talking like you, Elliot Harrison. You can

615
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: talk like Jared Jones, And I'm gonna start talking like

616
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison. Let me and I'm gonna start talking about

617
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: Kitten's apple pie cream. Let me tell you something. We

618
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: talked about the slim pickings on the waiver wire at

619
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: the running back position. I knew Beanie Wells was going

620
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: up against the Niners. But what are you gonna do?

621
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit Beanie Wells to play uh Keilan Williams. Okay,

622
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: here's I'm We're gonna go a little uh openness cliff

623
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: with Elliott Harrison. All right, Richard ment In Hall this

624
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: week plays the Niners. Richard ment and Hall, you take

625
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: away what is eight touchdowns? I mean he's been pretty

626
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: disappointing this season. Ryan Grant or Richard meant and all

627
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: Ellie Harrison, Schard meant and Hall over Ryan Grant Really, yeah,

628
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: I I men in Hall has got to turn it

629
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: on at some point. Felix Jones or Richard Menton Hall,

630
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: Felix Jones, C. J. Spiller or Richard meant Hall, c. J. Spiller,

631
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. This is so hard because I don't think

632
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Gore's banged up. Yeah. I was gonna say Gore's now

633
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: a hundred percent. I see Kendall Hunter getting some carries there.

634
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go Chard men and Marian Barber,

635
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: assuming Matt Forte is out, or Richard meant Hall, Mary

636
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: In Barber, Ben Jarvis green Ellis or Richard Mentenhall. Ben

637
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: Jarvis Greenhow wow? Okay, how do you feel about that one?

638
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: Ben Jarvis Green Elliser, Rochard menten Hall. It's close, man,

639
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: I'd probably go Menen Hall, but I mean because Greenhllis

640
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: has done nothing lately. No, he's he's kind of disappeared.

641
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: If there wasn't banged up by the way, I would

642
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: have taken Gore because the Steelers are going to be

643
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: without a lot of key guys. Ryan Matthews over Shard

644
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Mentenhall and he's got a bad man. Don't like either one,

645
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's just coming back to I think I

646
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: would take with Schard Mentenhall. I think I would because

647
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: you also don't know how many touches Ryan Matthews is

648
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna get. Yeah, you just don't know. Speaking of running back,

649
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: help Brian and Boston is calling in If you don't

650
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: mind us taking some more callers. No, that's fine. Are

651
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: you a Red Sox fan? Okay, Well, I'm gonna I'm

652
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: not gonna answer your question. Here is a Yankees. I'll

653
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: let Harrison handle this one. I'm just kidding with all right.

654
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: I got some I get some problems that run back.

655
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm strong all year long until I

656
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. Um, I've got my again. I

657
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: can start. It's a it's a twelve team, non ppr um.

658
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: I can start to running backs. Uh to two wide

659
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: receivers in a flux um. I've got Ray Rice that's

660
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: obviously a walk. And then I've got Matt Brad Bradshaw.

661
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: I've got pore Thomas, I've got Gearheart and I was

662
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: rolling with Gearhart for the last couple of weeks, which

663
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: is great. Now that eights back at that time is over. Yeah,

664
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: that's done. So it's like back to Bradshaw. I mean,

665
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: I think you have to and listen. I mean it's

666
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: a roll of the dice right now. Last week he

667
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: killed the the because of that. But I mean he's

668
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: back this week, so it's not like, well, who knows.

669
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully he makes it to all of his meetings and

670
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: and hits his curfew, but he should be back this week.

671
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: The thing that scares me is that Jacobs was so

672
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: good last week many situation, but you're you're looking at

673
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: Pierre Thomas, who's a role of the dice Gerhart you

674
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: can't really play anymore because based on the fact that

675
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: listen a d s back, so Gerhart's role is going

676
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: to be severely reduced unless you can pick up Ryan Grant,

677
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: Felix Jones, or if you could pick up a de

678
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas off the waiver Whire listen. I love Da

679
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas this week. If you can pick him up

680
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: and play him as a three hour reflect should do it.

681
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: He has had twenty targets in the last two weeks.

682
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: He's had three touchdowns four I believe overall, with t

683
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: Boat quarterback and the Patriots are given up the most

684
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers, I would probably start Da

685
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas over several big names this week You've had,

686
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: including Santa Santonio Holmes, including DeShawn Jackson, maybe including Santana Mass,

687
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: maybe even Duyne Bow. But Kyle Orton is expected to

688
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: start this week, which makes Bow a lot more attractive

689
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: to me. Um Well, The thing is, if you're watching,

690
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: Thomas is available in a a lot of leaks if you're

691
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: watching the highlight shows and you see, oh, Santonio Holmes,

692
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: he got a touchdown. Yeah, he got a touchdown, but

693
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: he caught two balls for two yards. That's it. In

694
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: your playoffs, you can't be rolling with the starting wide

695
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: out getting you seven point to fantasy points. And he's

696
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: been a disappointment this year, the whole year. I know

697
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: he's on my taste, san Antonio Holmes right now. Uh

698
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven and fantasy points. He's got five and

699
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: sixty four yards and worth through fourteen weeks. In our

700
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: NFL Network league, he was my weakest starter. And I'm actually,

701
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: I actually am lucky enough assuming that Forte is out

702
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues that I can play Barber.

703
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: It's actually the serious XM league that my good friends

704
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: Scott Engle who hosts a show here daily. Uh, he was,

705
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: he was so like upset. It was Seahawks defense on

706
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: the Monday night scored enough points for him to be

707
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: ahead of me by right around a point or so,

708
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: maybe a little a point and change. So I lost him. Think, okay,

709
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: lost um? And I've got Aaron Rodgers in that league

710
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson. Of course, I had Gearharden because eight

711
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: was out. I wake up in the morning, I had

712
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: one by tenth of a point, and I'm like, WHOA,

713
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: what the heck happened? So a lot of times live

714
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: scoring isn't official. Most of the times it is, but

715
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not. Come to find out that the official

716
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: score in the Giants game gave Victor Cruz credit a

717
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: catch in a nine and nine yards that were actually

718
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: Keen Knix is Scotty lost those points and I won

719
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: by a tenth of a point. And so sometimes it's

720
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: better to be lucky than good. And one more little

721
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: note on this. You know, I think Piterre Thomas is

722
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: still a very good player in reality, But in the

723
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: Saints backfield situation, it is just such a conundrum and

724
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: has been all year. We've talked about it all year.

725
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: It's just like Carolina, you never know the Saints wide receiver.

726
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: It's been like that to Kansas City to some extent,

727
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: it's been like that with their wide receivers. I think

728
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: Bradshaw is clearly the better play there. Greg in New

729
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: York has a question on who to sit Greg. What's

730
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: going on? I bet you Greg's a Yankees fan. Greg's

731
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: gone Greg's gone. Let's try Derek. Let's try Derek. Derrick's

732
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: New York Jeter. I don't think, what's up my man?

733
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: That's Yankees are there? You go? That's my man right there?

734
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: That's right. Um. I got a kind of a two

735
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: part question, but one I got a lead here. It's

736
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: more of a touchdown league at one point for twenty

737
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: yards and then he got touchdown, and it's receiver question. Uh,

738
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: I've got a tough one. I got Jordy Nelson, Victor Cruz,

739
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: Lauren Robinson for Vinson Jackson. I need to although, wow, geez,

740
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: that is tough. My initial reaction is cruising Nelson. Vincent

741
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Jackson is when he's good, he's good. But when he's bad,

742
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: he's bad. And he's got not to mention he's got

743
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Robinson who has been phenomenal. But how

744
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: do you not play Nelson now? Is the number one

745
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: option with this guy. N He's saying that he's not

746
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: going to arrest his players, and Cruise has been sick,

747
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: he's been great. I mean, Cruise, you know, correct me

748
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. I'm actually gonna look at on NFL

749
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: dot Com. He's fourth and Fantasy points behind Jordy Nelson,

750
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: who's third. Robinson has been phenomenal's playing Nelson and Cruise.

751
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: It would be a great I gotta do it, man.

752
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: I hope I helped my fellow Yankee fan there um

753
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Nelson and Cruise. In my opinion, here we have to break.

754
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into some of your starts and sits

755
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: coming up, and then we get the fantasy cantina. Man,

756
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: the cantina is up in what twelve minutes? Yeah, somebody

757
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: somebody said we've got some new music for the cantina. Also, Yeah,

758
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: and remember somebody tweeted I think it was Geo Cario

759
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: Gun Dark Gumbo that was. That was so clutch, so clutch,

760
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: and some Banta stew Let's do it back in a

761
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: few locker rolling out to his right, rolling, rolling, rolling,

762
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: turns it down the field, five locker dives for the

763
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: end zone. He is out of bound where the ends

764
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: out text that fight, But playoffs are here and it's

765
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: time to win you a championship, and we are here

766
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: to help us NFL Fantasy live on Sirius xm Fetasy

767
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Here're your host, Elliot Harrison and Michael Fabiano.

768
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Jake Locker a topic of much discussion in both reality

769
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: and The Titans are Michael Fabiana square in a playoff

770
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: race trying to get the wild card. They have a

771
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: very favorable schedule both in fantasy and reality coming up

772
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: in Jake Locker on your starts and sits coom Yeah,

773
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm a sleeper. Yeah again, You've got to watch and

774
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: see what happened, because if Hasselbeck is actually able to play,

775
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: I think he's going to start from Mike mun Jack

776
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: and Locker was limited in practice today because of sure ribbs,

777
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: but Hasselbeck did not participate. Again, keep tabs on who starts,

778
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: But if it's Locker, who's available in a lot of leagues,

779
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: He's a great start to me if you need a quarterback.

780
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Against the Colts, they've given up an average writer on

781
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: eighteen fantasy points per game to the position, So Locker

782
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: someone to keep your eye on. The same with Matt Moore.

783
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: He was president practice today, didn't participate injury, but I

784
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: think will be okay. In his last game against the Bills,

785
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: he scored eighteen points six fantasy points. Again, if you

786
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, Matt Moore is an option. There a

787
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: couple of other quarterbacks that I like this week Matt

788
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: Stafford against the Raiders. You gotta play him. Uh. The

789
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: Raiders have given up the six most fantasy points to

790
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: QB's Romo on Saturday night. The Cowboys are choking again,

791
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: um as I tear comes to my eye, but he

792
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: is still a very solid fantasy quarterback. And my man

793
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow in my best Elliott Harrison voice against the

794
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. I love this matchup. Third most fantasy

795
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: points a lot of quarterbacks this season, the New England

796
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: Patriots thirty second in total defense. I love Tebow. I

797
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: told you I loveda Marius Thomas, another quarterback with a

798
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: good matchup on paper, although I'm a little concerned based

799
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: on the return of the Dominican sue Is Carson Palmer

800
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: and the interception a lot right in the interceptions. The

801
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: lines have given up an average of about twenty five

802
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: fantasy points the quarterbacks in the last four games now.

803
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: They've played some darned quarterbacks over that time. But last week,

804
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: the combination of Christian Ponder and Joe Webb scored twenty

805
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: eight fantasy points on the Detroit Lions. So again, if

806
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: you need a quarterback, Carson Palmer is worth a look,

807
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: but I have to say I might start Locker over

808
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: Palmer if Locker is the quarterback. I think it. Can

809
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: you check the availability of the Lions defense. Oh god,

810
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: they can't be available in many leagues right now. They

811
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: can't be. That would be interesting to see they through

812
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: four picks last week. You got Sue coming back. You

813
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: want some defensive sleepers, listen. I'm like, uh, there's a

814
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit of availability. I'll give you some sleeper defense.

815
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals quickly, Cardinals. The Cardinals is definitely one of them

816
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: against maybe a cult mccoylis team because of that concussion

817
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: about saws issue. Seahawks against Caleb Haney. Uh. The Falcons

818
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars on our air Thursday night. The Bengals

819
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: against Sam Bradford and Rams team that looks like they

820
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: want to quit except for Steven Jackson. The Lions are

821
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: clearly a good play as well. There's a lot of

822
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: good sleeper defenses out there this weekend, a lot of

823
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: good ones. Let me ask you about one player in particular.

824
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: You know we always talk your starts and sits, and uh.

825
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: It's definitely must read for fantasy fans out there just

826
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: go to NFL dot com slash fantasy. But when I

827
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: do the power rankings for the site, which is not

828
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: fantasy related, it's just ranking the teams where I think

829
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: they are. It's not glorified standing is. It's how powerful

830
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: I think the teams actually are. The Ravens fans are

831
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: the most vocal, and I get so many comments and

832
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: they're I mean, half of them are from angry Ravens

833
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: fans due to no respect that I have for Joe

834
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: Flacco's game right now. I know when I say no,

835
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say no respect. I don't have a lot

836
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: of respect for Flacco's game right now. As far as

837
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: being elite quarterback and fantasy wise, Michael I have no

838
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: confidence Flacco has been a disappointment because it seems like

839
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: from a fantasy respect if he's clearly taking a step back.

840
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: Fifteen touchdown passes this year. Um in the modern NFL,

841
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: that's nothing new. Passing yards not great. And the Ravens

842
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: are a running team. They're they're one of the few

843
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: running teams left in the NFL, and Ray Rice has

844
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: reaped the rewards of that. And uh Camp Cameron has

845
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,959
Speaker 1: finally come to his senses and said, you know what,

846
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: his bread is buttered with ray Rice running the ball

847
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty five times. And as someone who has Ray Rice

848
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues, I'm very happy about that.

849
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: I know, and you lose all those games. So yeah,

850
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: Flacco has been a major, major disappointment. He's not even

851
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: on the radar. Last week he played the Colts, and again,

852
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: you almost don't get a better matchup than playing the

853
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: Colts as a quarterback, and Flacco scored fifteen points. Good

854
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: but not spectacle, not when you're playing the Colt. Not

855
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: spec to Flacco get drafted next year, Yeah, of course

856
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: he does, as it too somewhere in the late rounds,

857
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: I think. So yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

858
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: He definitely gets drapped. I could definitely see a few

859
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: leagues where he does not get drafted, maybe smaller, maybe

860
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: smaller leagues, but he gets drafted. I don't know if

861
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: I can buy that. Michael Fabia, you know, I just

862
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: painfully if you if you put on NFL Network right now,

863
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: it looks like they're showing the replay of the Cowboys

864
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: Giants game, and I'm gonna turn the channel because I

865
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: can't deal with this man, speaking of I can't deal

866
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: with the pain, you're not being able to deal with

867
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: the pain. Ben Roethlisberger is a tough deal because it's

868
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: Monday night game. He's hurting playing that tough forty Niners defense.

869
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: It's also tough to sit Big Ben. Well, it's not

870
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: so tough this week, just based on the fact that

871
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: he's still in a walking bood, likely to not practice

872
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: and it's Monday night. Would you start if I had to?

873
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: If I had to? What happens if you play him

874
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: and Monday night he's not active. Alex Smith is your

875
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: only option, and you don't want to play him against

876
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: the steelershere, You're gonna play Charlie Batch in the semifinals.

877
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: That's that's a good You gotta be careful, man, you

878
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. I agree. Listen, We're gonna get to

879
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: that a little more in the Fantasy Cantina, which is

880
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: coming up NFL Serious two ten XM seven
