1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, December thirty, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we need

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: a miracle to win a title.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones.

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Fellas, how are we feeling after Week seventeen? I mean,

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: first off, are you guys I don't even know? I mean,

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I know, Florio, you got bounced to a couple of

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: LaQuan Are you still fighting for a championship somewhere?

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: No, we've been put to bed. But going to bed

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: and waking up as a NFC West champion feels a

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: lot better than any fantasy honestly, because the Rams are

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: dangerous again and I've been screaming this for so long,

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: and we're going back.

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: To the Super Bowl.

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: Guys. You know what, here's the thing in the NFC.

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: You can't you can't really argue it because there's no

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: clearcut favorite in the conference right now. At first, I

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: was like, well, the Rams are gonna win the division

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: because everybody else is falling apart. But the Rams are

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: legitimately playing good football, especially defensively over the last few weeks,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's pretty good. Meanwhile, your Bills haven't had

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: anything to play for in a few weeks.

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: Really, Floria, well, yesterday they clinched the two seed, and look,

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: I'll argue that clinching the two seed before another certain

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: specific player in their team even clinched their division. That's

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: what MVPs do. So that's what I'm going out on.

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: And then the forty nine ers. So anyway, we got

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: to a whole stuff to talk about on the show today.

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the biggest takeaways from week seventeen. Plus

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: we'll give our waiver Wire pickups of the Year, a

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: guy that probably helped a lot of you to where

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: you are at this point in the season, especially if

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: you are still competing for a championship. There's one more

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: game left to be played before a fantasy champion has crowned.

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: In a lot of leagues.

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: We've got a Monday night game between the Lions and

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, So still a lot of drama,

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy relevant guys going tonight help a

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: lot of teams one way or another.

41
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: But let's get.

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Started, as we always do about this time, with some

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines. And headlines today a little bit different because

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: obviously the season pretty much over, so while there are

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: certainly some notable injuries, maybe not as much of an

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: impact for our purposes. So instead kind of looking ahead,

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: looking back, and looking ahead all at the same time,

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: let's start in Las Vegas with Brock Bauers, who broke

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: a number of records over the weekend. Most notably broke

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Mike Ditka's record for rookie tight end receiving yards, a

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: record that had stood for sixty three entire years. On

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: top of it, he also broke Puka Nakua's record for

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: receptions by a rookie, which stood for one entire year.

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: But if Florida look, we are in a spot where

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: it looks like for the second consecutive year, a rookie

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: is going to be the tight end one overall. Last

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: year was Sam Laporta. He was drafted as the top

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: tight end this year. That didn't work out. Are we

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: willing to take the same leap next year with Brock Bowers?

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Is he your tight end one and how early are

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: you drafted him?

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: Yes? He is my tight end one, and I think

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: there's a big difference between him and Sam Laporta. And

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: the difference is last year, as awesome as Sam Laporta was,

65
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: it was largely promped up by touchdowns. Like I don't

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 4: believe he even had nine hundred yards. Kyle Pitts had

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: more yards as a rookie tight end, which is why

68
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: in the offseason I was like, I think Kyle Pitts's

69
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 4: rookie season was probably more impressive than Sam Laporta's because

70
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: touchdowns is Marcus, as you say all the time, are

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: fickle beasts and Rock Bowers with better quarterback play is

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: going to get a chance a more touchdowns. But the

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: yard numbers that catch numbers, to me, those are more

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: reliable year over year. And just watching him play like

75
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: he is the best rookie tight end I have ever

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: watched in my life. So yeah, And for where I

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: would draft him, I want to say the second round.

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: I think that's realistically where you would have to want

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: to take him. But I wouldn't be surprised if people

80
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: pull him up to be a late first because tight

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: end premium and shortage of position and all that.

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: All right, So if we're going with you premise that

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: he's the tight end one the quad who's tight end too,

84
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: Trey McBride, George Kittle, Travis Kelsey.

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Who's tight end two for you?

86
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: Then, honestly, it probably have to be Trey McBride. His

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: frustrations this season was well displayed out there, and honestly

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: I had him up there as the tight end one

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: for this season following for you. I mean, we were

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: all on the McBride train, but the touchdowns they just weren't there.

91
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: And honestly, next season they have to get this problem

92
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: fixed in the red zone with him and find a

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: way for him to find the end zone. Of course

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: he scores on us, I mean, whatever the.

95
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Case may be.

96
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: But you're looking at like, I love what Trey McBride

97
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: was able to do this season just overall as a receiver.

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: I know we were waiting for Zach Ertz to move

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: out it away, but this is the season that we

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: kind of had on display for Trey McBride.

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: He just did not find the end zone.

102
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think a larger conversation needs to be

103
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: had Kyler Murray off the car his offense because you know,

104
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: trade McBride didn't have touchdowns. Marvin Harrison Junior was generally

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: a disappointment for a lot of us. So I think

106
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: that's a conversation that we need to actually dive into

107
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: at some point in the offseason.

108
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: And Greg Dorge, how do we forget about George?

109
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: You know what?

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I heard his name over the weekend. I was like, sorry,

111
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I forgot about that dude.

112
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

113
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley is now over two thousand rushing yards for

114
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: the season and very much within reach of Eric Dickerson's

115
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: single season rushing record. LaQuan, is it a foregone conclusion

116
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: that he's the one dot one next year?

117
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good question, man. And honestly, me personally

118
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: or even some of the CMC you know fans out there,

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: I probably won't be taking a running back.

120
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: One oh one.

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 3: I mean, this dude is on the verge of breaking

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: Eric Dickerson's record, and honestly, I hope he doesn't. I mean,

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: can that stay with a ram like kind of like

124
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: come on, guys, like, but more so looking at next

125
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: year one oh one, I think a lot of CMC

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: fans will understand, like the workload, you know, where CMS

127
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: was last season and where he's at now, Like I

128
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: don't want to guy, that's going to be overused chasing

129
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: records and stuff like that. I'm honestly good on a

130
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 3: running back in the first round. I'd rather take my

131
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: shots with the wide receivers or even tight end like

132
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: how Floria was saying, we're rock Bay or sitting at

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: that back end of the first round early second round

134
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: where he could be going. So I'm pivoting another options.

135
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: I love what he's doing this season, a great talent,

136
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: a great fantasy ascent, but one oh one, I'm shining

137
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: away from that, probably for good from the running back position.

138
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: All right, So LaQuan says he's off of running backs

139
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: in the first round. Let's say you're sitting there though,

140
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: at like number four, Florio and Justin Jefferson's gone, Jamar

141
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Chase is gone, you know, I don't know, Like and

142
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: you're looking at say, you know, sa Kuon Barkley, or

143
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: you're looking at say like I'm on Ross Saint Brown,

144
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: like where are you going right now?

145
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: I'd probably go be Jean Robinson if I'm taking a

146
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: running back. Look awesome. He's got way more wear and

147
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: tear than than Bijon does. He's got he's older, a

148
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: longer history of injuries, and even more than that, Like

149
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: I don't believe we like I believe this is going

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: to be Saquon Barkley's career year. I don't believe we

151
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: have seen the best out of Bijon Robinson yet. And

152
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: that is something that I'm trying to change in my

153
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: process is in the past, I've been quick to be like,

154
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: this guy was amazing last year, like he might not

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: live up to that, but he's going to be amazing again.

156
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: But the truth of the matter is is like these

157
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: special seasons like what Saquon is having or Jamar Chase

158
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: is having, they win leagues, and I I could see,

159
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: I don't think Saquon is going to do this again

160
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: next year, Like I think he'll be great. I think

161
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: it'll be a top five fantasy running back. I don't

162
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: think he's gonna run for over two thousand yards. So

163
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: that to me kind of leans like maybe, But look

164
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: on everyone's process is different. So if you want to

165
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: go Saquon at the one oh one, I'm not gonna

166
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: to fight you over.

167
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels a lot like you know, our

168
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: our friend Bob Harris who always says, don't draft last

169
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: year's best team, and it sort of feels that way,

170
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: but also I could easily see myself getting sucked into

171
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: all right, So even if he has fourteen hundred yards

172
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: next year, that's still good, right, Like, I think both

173
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: both arguments are going to be in play, and I

174
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a big thing we're going to

175
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: debate all off season long, for sure. All Right, let's

176
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the week's top scorers.

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: It's still one more game left to be played.

178
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: But Joe Burrow that huge game on Saturday night, having

179
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: overtime certainly helped. Four hundred and twelve passing yards, three touchdowns,

180
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: also a rushing touchdown as well, nearly thirty seven points

181
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: for him. Jonathan Taylor a big day, which you know, look,

182
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: I know some of you might have been eliminated when

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: he dropped the football couple weeks ago, but you know,

184
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: for those of you who survived one hundred and twenty

185
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: five rushing yards, two touchdowns on the ground, twenty seven

186
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: point six points there. Tee Higgins who eight over the weekend,

187
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: eleven catches, one hundred and thirty one receiving yards and

188
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: three one two three touchdowns. Trey McBride twelve catches for

189
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three yards and a touchdown.

190
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 2: We may dive into that a little bit later in

191
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: the show.

192
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: Thirty point three points for mcbrad kymeron Dicker Dicker the kicker,

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: four field goals, four pat sixteen points there and the

194
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: Eagles defense taking advantage of Cooper Rush and the Cowboys

195
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: a sack, four takeaways, a touchdown, seven points allowed. That's

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: good for nineteen fantasy points. So those are the overall

197
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: fantasy heroes.

198
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 2: Who is your personal fantasy hero this Weekkwan.

199
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: Dunta Da Da another superhero of alpha stature, and like,

200
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: I tried to do this comparison with T Higgins and

201
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase because they have two wide receiver ones on

202
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: the Bengals offense, and I came down to the conclusion

203
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: that Iron Man and Captain America. You figure out who's

204
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: whoever but a forty burger and the second time in

205
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: his career, and honestly, him and Jamar Chase man they

206
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: need to stick together. Like if T Higgins goes anywhere

207
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: else next season, I'm going to be completely off. Like

208
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: it's clear and still that the Bengals are dangerous with

209
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: two wide receiver ones. This is a formula that not

210
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: all teams have, so honestly, him bringing home the championship

211
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: for a lot of fantasy managers, putting up forty points people,

212
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: this is the second time in his career he's done that,

213
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: and honestly, just looking at the frame and body work

214
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: that he has had, you do not want to lose

215
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: this type of talent. And he's rung it home for

216
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: a lot of fantasy managers. Or he ended some stories

217
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: of the championship for a lot of fantasy managers this weekend.

218
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, so a couple of things about that.

219
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: One, the Bengals do have some really tough decisions to

220
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: make about who to pay and whether or not they

221
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: can afford all three of those pieces. The other part

222
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: is you have to figure out who andre Yoshivas hangs

223
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: out with, because then he would be the Bucky Barnes

224
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: to that person's Captain America. I think you can figure

225
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: out which one is which, So you know, once we

226
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: figure out who Yoshivas is eating lunch with, then we

227
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: know who Captain America is versus who is iron Man

228
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: who gets paid?

229
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: That's what it's gonna be. Team Ironman all the way.

230
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: By the way, who's gonna get paid for sure, Florida moves.

231
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: Who is your particular Marvel hero for the weekend?

232
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield, who I don't know which Marvel hero he is,

233
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: but I do know that if he knew one of

234
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 4: his boys parents were murdered, he wouldn't cover it up.

235
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: In America was wrong all the way. It's Baker Mayfield, though,

236
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 4: who joined Jared Goff, is the only quarterback this year

237
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: with a game with at least three hundred and fifty yards,

238
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: five touchdowns and no interceptions. Only the Goat Tom Brady

239
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: has had more multiple passing touchdowns in the season and

240
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 4: Bucks history than Baker has right now. I know Joe

241
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 4: Burrow went out and put up monstrous numbers and everyone

242
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: who played him probably thought their day was over. But

243
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: if you had Baker Mayfield, he pretty much went step

244
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 4: first step with that and finished like a point or

245
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: two behind him. So I think Baker and Mike Evans

246
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: won a lot. And then he throwing Jayleen McMillan there

247
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: as well, like I think the whole Bucks scene, Bucky Irving,

248
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: all of them won a lot of people championships this week.

249
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, big Hawkeye vibes from Baker Mayfield right, like he's

250
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: nobody really gets excited about him, but he comes through

251
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: when you need him too, and he's not afraid to

252
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: let it fly, sort of like Clint Barton is.

253
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: He's literally the best NFC quarterback right now in passing yards, touchdowns,

254
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: completion percenters. Like, he is the best NFC quarterback right now.

255
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: So shout out to Hawkeye.

256
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: The Browns could use a guy like that. Just putting

257
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: that out there, So.

258
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: I guess if we're going with the theme, I guess

259
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: that makes Malik Neighbors spider Man right, because he was

260
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: my guy for this weekend, the young kid from New

261
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: York going out there making plays sometimes when it seems

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: like all is lost that I know there were questions about,

263
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, would he play, how much would he play?

264
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: But he went out had.

265
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: One hundred and seventy one receiving yards and a pair

266
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: of touchdowns in a game that I think Giants fans

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: would have maybe preferred that they didn't win. But hey man,

268
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: shout out to Melak Neighbors for going out and really

269
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: putting together what was a fantastic season despite some hideous

270
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: quarterback play for long stretches there in New York. You know,

271
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it feels like Odell Beckham vibes,

272
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: but at least Odell had Eli Manning, right. I mean,

273
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: he had a guy that you know, you could argue

274
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: whether he belongs in the Hall of Fame. But the

275
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: fact is Eli's at least in the argument. You can't

276
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: say this same for Daniel Jones or Drew Locke, or

277
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito or any of the guys that were throwing

278
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: footballs in New York this season. Nonetheless, Leak Neighbors, sitting

279
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: on overall eleven hundred yards, one hundred and four catches

280
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: and the six touchdowns this year, continues to be a

281
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: stud Florida. I know you were on the Elik Neighbors

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: train from before the season even started, and while there

283
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: were some parts of the season that were a little

284
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: bit of a slog, overall, turns out to be a

285
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: very good year for him, and he's going to be

286
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: very much in the conversation. I would say probably a

287
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: second round pick that fair for Leak Neighbors next year.

288
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: Second round, I think so.

289
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: I think if they Giants depend, like if they brought

290
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: in a proven quarterback, I can make an argument for

291
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: him as first umpick. Yeah.

292
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Uh, the question is can they get that quarterback, especially

293
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 2: if they screwed up their draft position for this year.

294
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

295
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: Im say, in the last five years, there's been three

296
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: receivers that have one hundred rookies one hundred and fifty

297
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,359
Speaker 4: more yards two or more touchdowns in the game. It's Jefferson,

298
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: Chase and neighbors. Which one elite to waters go to LSU.

299
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently that's apparently the story there, all right, So

300
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: those are our individual fantasy heroes. Now are big takeaways

301
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: from Week seventeen, LQ. What did you learn?

302
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: Yo?

303
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: Amir dula is good at football?

304
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, he has earned his role in that

305
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: Raiders backfield next year. Like have we not been seeing him?

306
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: Not fit the bill as a league winner? The criteria

307
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: is literally him the last three weeks nineteen fantasy points

308
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: per game. If you just watch the tape of him

309
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: in that Saints game, how hard he is running like

310
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: you had Zamir White, Alexander Madison, Cecia McCormick, who I

311
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: didn't even know was a real person at the time

312
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: that I heard his name. But like, Amir Doula is

313
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: on a one year contract and he's playing his heart out,

314
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: he's given the best, his best of best in that

315
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: backfield of trying to find a way to get in

316
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: between the tackles and being a guy that can get

317
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: involved in the passing game. Like how many receiving touchdowns

318
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: this guy is going to catch next year? Like, hopefully

319
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: he's in that backfield next year and he's going to

320
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: make his way to my fantasy rosters. And he should

321
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: definitely be on the radar because I think a lot

322
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: of people in this offseason they're gonna forget he this

323
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: and then he's going to do the same thing again.

324
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: If he's putting in the right position.

325
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: That all sounds absolutely wonderful. I have no confidence that

326
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders will do that this often.

327
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: No thanks, No, I mean, I just really don't.

328
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about it as great as the

329
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: miradula was for them down the stretch. We're talking about

330
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: a running back that's going to be thirty two next season,

331
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: going on his tenth season in the NFL. He's going

332
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: to be an unrestricted free agent. Like, I just don't

333
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: see the Raiders spending.

334
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: The money to bring him back and put him especially.

335
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: It might be a new coaching staff might be.

336
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: Uh, that's pretty more likely than him being the RB

337
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: one in Vegas. All right, look at what I like

338
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: where your head's at.

339
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: Ain't gonna beat RB one.

340
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: He can eat seat again. I mean, I'm just saying

341
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: it's going to be.

342
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 4: On my roster next year. I will die my hair. No,

343
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: I'm lying. I'm lying again.

344
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: I'll do that. Don't do that.

345
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: He'll die. He'll some silver to go with the black

346
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: bel No Raiders.

347
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: There it is. What is your takeaway from the week.

348
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 4: This rookie class is an all time great rookie class. Like, Look,

349
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: we've already talked about brock Bauers, arguably the best rookie

350
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: tight end ever. We just talked up Molik Neighbors. There's

351
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: also Brian Thomas Junior. They're both top six wide receivers

352
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: in fantasy this season. There's Jaye and Daniels, who is

353
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 4: a lock to win Rookie of the Year putting on

354
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 4: a show last night on Sunday Night. Football is the

355
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: QB four right now, behind only the top three MVP

356
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: candidates in Lamar, Allen and Burrow. Like, there's Bucky Irving

357
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: getting the job done at running back, and then there's

358
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: deeper players like Marvin Harrison, Junior, Lad mcconkeye, Xavier Worthy,

359
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: young Coleman Like, this is an all time great rookie class.

360
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: And I think it's two things. One, don't expect next

361
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: year's rookie class to be like this, But two, I

362
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: think it drives point forward a point that we've discussed

363
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: on the show in the past a lot, but like,

364
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: rookies are ready to come in and make an immediate

365
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: impact now, So don't shy, like, don't push them up

366
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: your board next year just because of what this class did,

367
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: but also don't shy away from taking them just because

368
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: they're rookies, because they come in now more NFL ready

369
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 4: than ever before.

370
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, one hundred percent.

371
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: I mean the way the college game works and the

372
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: way that NFL offenses are sort of hatering to the

373
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: young players, it makes a lot more sense that these.

374
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: Guys are ready to go right now.

375
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, tight end maybe not quite so ready to go

376
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: right now. I think this was the year, not that

377
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: we said the titand was deep, but it felt like

378
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: it was deeper than it had been in past years

379
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: and turned out not really. We had maybe five and

380
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: a half guys that we could really count on on

381
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. I mean, you had your guys at

382
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: the top with Bowers and McBride. Kittle has been great.

383
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: John new Smith, who was a completely different story because nobody,

384
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: no one except one person that we know who will

385
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: remain unnamed.

386
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: Actually believed in John new Smith this year.

387
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: Beyond that, I mean, when you looked on a weekly basis,

388
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: it went from startable to streaming in a real big hurry.

389
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's something to keep in mind when

390
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: you are drafting next year. It might be the reason

391
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: that we see guys like Brock Bauers and Trey McBride

392
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: pushed up maybe above where they should be going in drafts,

393
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: because once you get to a certain point, it's gonna

394
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: be hard to find guys you can count on a

395
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: consistent basis. The Tucker Crafts, the Pat Fryer mooth to

396
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: the Hunter Henry's of the world not very exciting. So

397
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: it may be a little bit of a race to

398
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: get to the guys in the elite levels just to

399
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: know you have that position locked up on a week

400
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: tweek basis in fantasy, but.

401
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: We should still keep it.

402
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: Do not take this as an argument saying we need

403
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: to get rid of tight ends because I know that's

404
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: floating around there in the fantasy sphere.

405
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.

406
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 4: I hate it.

407
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: Just because you can't predict them doesn't mean we shouldn't

408
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: have them.

409
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 4: Just like people get hurt in Week seventeen. And let's

410
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 4: cut the season shortly.

411
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, stop stop, stop doing this, stop it. We're gonna

412
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 2: take a quick break come back.

413
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive and do our waiver wire pickup of

414
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: the Year and moments we love.

415
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: That's coming up next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

416
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options.

417
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, not as many guys as you're gonna be chasing,

418
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: so instead we decided to do the pickup of the

419
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Year candidates.

420
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: Who are they florio right quarterback?

421
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: We got Sam Darnold, who I think should get some

422
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: MVP love this year. We got Bo Nicks, who probably

423
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: is going to finish top three and Rookie of the Year.

424
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: And then Justin Herbert who has led the Chargers to

425
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: the playoffs, all three of which have come through in

426
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: different times in fantasy this season. At running back, I

427
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: love Bucky Irving and what he's done, but there's also JK. Dobbins.

428
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 4: We all thought it would be videal or Gus Edwards,

429
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: Rico Dawdle, Tyrone Tracy and Amir of Doulah all hit

430
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: at different times this year. Pass catchers Juwan Jennings, like

431
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 4: what he did in the middle of the season was awesome.

432
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney really has been a viable wide receiver three

433
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 4: at times even better than that. Jerry Judy for a

434
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: stretch of the season with Jameis Winston was a top

435
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: two wide receiver in fantasy, and then Adam Thielen and

436
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: Jalen McMillan's late season bloomers. But players who have helped

437
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: win people championships. John new Smith is obviously the waiver

438
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: wire tight end of the year, but I wanted to

439
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: give love to Taysom Hill who had a really hot

440
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 4: stretch before he got hurt, and Tucker Crafted Hunter Henry.

441
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 4: Not the biggest league winners or anything like that, but

442
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: usable viable tight ends at a week with him.

443
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 2: All Right, A good list there Sola quad for you.

444
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 2: Who is your waiver wire pickup of the year.

445
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 3: It has to be Bo Nicks because think about the

446
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: questions that we had going into this offseason. How is

447
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: Sean Payton in him, in this relationship going to work?

448
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: And then even those first couple of weeks, we're kind

449
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: of like, is both Nick's a fantasy I said, I

450
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: don't know yet, But once he had his argument with

451
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: Sean Bayn, like, Dad, get off my back. I got this.

452
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: He went out there and put up huge QB one

453
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: numbers like his highs or in the thirties, Like this

454
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: is what you want out of a quarterback you're picking

455
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: off the waiver wire, especially if you were bullish on

456
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 3: Anthony richardson C. J. Strau or whatever reason you went

457
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: out there for Trevor Lawrence. I mean the Trevor Lawrence

458
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 3: t train, will Legion Genten hey, hey hey, but he

459
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: definitely gets the bow Knicks, gets waiver wire.

460
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: The year man.

461
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: All right, Florida, who who's your guy?

462
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 4: I really wanted the quant to go with Johnny Smith.

463
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm going with Bucky Irving here, who is a top

464
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: fifteen fantasy running back on this season. And I know

465
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 4: some of you might be like, well, he was drafted

466
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: in my league, but he didn't start early on, so

467
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: he was probably thrown back on the waiver wire even

468
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: if he was drafted. And this I've talked about it

469
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: a lot. Wasn't the best year for zero RB's. Like

470
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: there was pockets where Rico Dado was really useful, or

471
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: a Mere Duelo was really useful, or Tyrone Tracy, but

472
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: there wasn't like a I got this guy and he

473
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 4: was like a league winner type pick up at the

474
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 4: running back position. Outside of Bucky Irving, I would argue,

475
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 4: who just continued to be uber consistent down the stretch,

476
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: put up some big nate games in the fantasy playoffs.

477
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: So to me, the champion of the zero RB strategy

478
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: this year was Bucky Irving, and I think he won

479
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: a lot of people championships.

480
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: So Miyane is gonna be Sam Donald. And for some

481
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons that Lakwan talked about, Because if you

482
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: went away with a different quarterback and you were trying

483
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: to sort of make things work, you were probably frustrated, right,

484
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: I Mean we all kind of had our Anthony Richardson frustrations. Look,

485
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: we stayed away from certain vikings because we didn't think

486
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: Sam Donald could get it done right.

487
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: We knocked down.

488
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and our fantasy draft rankings because we were

489
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: worried about Sam Donald. Instead, he's the QB seven going

490
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: into Monday night. Right, He's got three hundred Fantasy points,

491
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: had a huge game on Sunday in a big spot

492
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Vikings there against the Packers. Almost four

493
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards, three touchdowns. He's been great pretty much

494
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: all year long. And you know who could use a

495
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: guy like him, The Jets. They could use a quarterback

496
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: like Sam Donald. I'm just putting that out there, but

497
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: he's been fantastic to the point that now the Vikings

498
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: really do have a decision whether they keep him around

499
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: what they do with JJ McCarthy. He might have delayed

500
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy's development at least one more year with the way

501
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: he has.

502
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: So there you go. Those are our waiver wire pickups

503
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: of the year.

504
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 4: Pay Sam there.

505
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: It is, man there it is real quick. Got a

506
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: John Newsmith update. It was not the greatest game for

507
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: John Newsmith, but it was good enough. Another late touchdown

508
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: for John who ends up with eleven point six fantasy points,

509
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: three catches, twenty six yards in a touchdown, Not even

510
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley to prevent him from scoring double digit fantasy

511
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: points and right now. Overall he is the tight end

512
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: for He's about thirty points clear of tight end six.

513
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: So it feels like this is a rap barring something

514
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: miraculous happening in week eighteen. So we're to set up

515
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: the time for the dying, the dyeing of the hair.

516
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: We will set that up so that is gonna be

517
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: a moment that we really do love. Now, let's talk

518
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: about one of our favorite moments from the past week.

519
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: We've touched a little bit on Trey McBride on this show,

520
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: but a moment that we all love across Fantasy. Even

521
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: though it happened at the expense of Lakwan's Rams, you

522
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: guys won the game, it doesn't matter. He scored his

523
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: first receiving touchdown of the season, one of the twelve

524
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: catches he had in that game at Sofi Stadium on

525
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: Saturday night. But guys, we've been waiting for this all

526
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: year long. We have to be throw The only other

527
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: touchdown was a fumble recovery in the end zone. So

528
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: finally our precious Frey McBride finds the end zone. We

529
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: can all get behind that, right, even Rams fans can

530
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: get behind that.

531
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: For Fantasy, absolutely none man this.

532
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: Worn like literally almost had me rip my hair out,

533
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: Like I didn't want that to happen. Who voted for

534
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: this hater? Hater?

535
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: Kemid Bride was my guy coming at tight end coming

536
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: into the year, and if he had a couple of

537
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 4: more touchdowns, he finishes as a tight end one. So

538
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: I'm still salty that they couldn't get him the ball.

539
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 4: But I let out an audible cheer when he did

540
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 4: finally score this past week. I was so happy to

541
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: see it happen because he's good. He did one hundred

542
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: and four catches one touchdown, Like that's more on Kyler

543
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: than on him.

544
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: I would say.

545
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: It's absolutely more on Kyler than it is on Trey

546
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: McBride for sure, because he's done everything else for this team,

547
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: uh this season you could imagine.

548
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: So there you go. Meanwhile, for us, that is it.

549
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: We are done.
