Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, November fifth, twenty twenty four. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we still have
Speaker 1: faith in our starting quarterbacks. It's me and your man,
Speaker 1: m J. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio and
Speaker 1: Lakwan Jones. We were talking rookie quarterbacks before the show started,
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, you got the guys
Speaker 1: who've been really good. Jayden Daniels has been great, bo
Speaker 1: Nicks has been developing. You know, Drake May has shown
Speaker 1: some flashes. So I will say, I mean we here
Speaker 1: we are, you know through week nine into week ten.
Speaker 1: I mean, Floria, what grade would you give, say Caleb
Speaker 1: Williams at this point.
Speaker 2: I would give him a CEE, maybe even a little
Speaker 2: bit lower, because he's had just really two big games
Speaker 2: this year. They came against weak competition. He has faltered
Speaker 2: the last two weeks against week competition. And this is
Speaker 2: a guy that we were saying was going to maybe
Speaker 2: the best circumstance, not just of these rookie quarterbacks, but
Speaker 2: a number one pick has ever gone to. So I know,
Speaker 2: I look, we could blame the coaching and I think
Speaker 2: they Shane Waldron deserves a lot of we were saying earlier,
Speaker 2: like the coaching decisions made no sense coming into the season,
Speaker 2: but like he's still offensively in a better situation than
Speaker 2: a lot of these other rookies. I'm still not giving
Speaker 2: up on Caleb or anything like that, but I was
Speaker 2: hoping to see more non games in How are you
Speaker 2: feeling about.
Speaker 1: Him so far?
Speaker 3: Lak One, I wish you washy. I mean, when you
Speaker 3: have other rookies that are looking better fitting the part
Speaker 3: in their offense a lot more, it becomes difficult to
Speaker 3: look at Caleb and try to give him a positive grade.
Speaker 3: And all the faults are basically on the road, like
Speaker 3: they're a terrible road team. He doesn't play well on
Speaker 3: the road. That O line is still bad, and it's
Speaker 3: like you're still trying to find that chemistry within your
Speaker 3: wide receiver groups. You know, Roma Doon, Say, DJ Moore
Speaker 3: and Keelan Allen, they're all, you know, the trifecta why
Speaker 3: receivers that we thought were the best in the game,
Speaker 3: and they're not really elevating this offense to where it
Speaker 3: needs to be right now. And honestly, you know, fantasy wise, Caleeb,
Speaker 3: you know there's some weeks you could put him in
Speaker 3: when they're home and there he got the matchup. But
Speaker 3: on the road, I already know he's slapping that bench hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, I I know. I came into
Speaker 1: the season sort of being trying to be cautious about
Speaker 1: it and not fall into the hype. And I admit
Speaker 1: that I fell into the hype. You know, late in
Speaker 1: the season, I was like, let's go full send on
Speaker 1: Caleb where I just you know, I had a I
Speaker 1: don't know, I originally had this fear of, Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: it's a little bit too much hype. Maybe this team's
Speaker 1: not quite ready there. And I think that's sort of
Speaker 1: what we've seen. He's at moments when he's looked good,
Speaker 1: he's at moments when he has struggled. The offensive line
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been great. I think the coaching you know,
Speaker 1: at some point they're probably gonna make a change at
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. So you know, maybe it is what
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be, and that maybe
Speaker 1: I should teach myself to not necessarily, you know, be
Speaker 1: a hype bunny. At some point during the preseason, I
Speaker 1: say that now I know there's gonna be some player,
Speaker 1: you know, when I get to August, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: that's true. Like I'm totally gonna buy into it. I
Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen, because it happens. It happens every Probably,
Speaker 1: That's okay, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Let's get to some big questions though, for week ten
Speaker 1: and beyond, and one that has become a bigger question
Speaker 1: than originally anticipated. A report that came out on Monday
Speaker 1: from Ian Rappaport and Tom Pella Sero Dak Prescott, who
Speaker 1: left Sunday's game against the Falcons a hamstring injury. There
Speaker 1: are now reports that it is worse than initially feared
Speaker 1: and that he could miss multiple weeks, which means Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush is expected to be the starting quarterback for the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. So once upon a time, you know, I
Speaker 1: was wondering whether or not Dak Prescott is dropable. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe he is at this point, we'll see, But I mean, Florida,
Speaker 1: I think the bigger question now is with Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: at quarterback, are we out on the Cowboys offense? I mean,
Speaker 1: do we still believe in ceedee lamb? What what else
Speaker 1: do we have there? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Look, it's it's a lot like with Tyreek Hill when
Speaker 2: Tua went down earlier this season, Like, maybe we get
Speaker 2: to a point where we start saying like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: can't trust Ceedee Lamb, But until we get to that point,
Speaker 2: I'm going to trust him. He was my first pick
Speaker 2: if I have him, and all of that. We know
Speaker 2: how good he has been. And let's not forget we
Speaker 2: made a big joke of it, but a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, Cooper Rush played well enough where some Cowboys
Speaker 2: fans were saying that he should keep the job. That
Speaker 2: was all a joke that at least, yeah, but he
Speaker 2: was at least able to keep the offense afloat and
Speaker 2: put up numbers. So I'm going to give Cedee Lamb
Speaker 2: a chance. Outside of Lamb, I think Ferguson becomes much
Speaker 2: more fringy, but he is still in play, potentially at
Speaker 2: tight end Rico maybe because volume wins the day. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not really too excited for any any Cowboy right
Speaker 2: now compared to where we were at the start of
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know where to go beyond this. Lakwan.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all bad. It just feels like in
Speaker 1: Dallas because dak was barely startable at this point anyway, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the offense gets any better with
Speaker 1: him not there.
Speaker 3: He only had one real big game this season. And again,
Speaker 3: if he's not there and you got CD also banged up,
Speaker 3: who will be playing with Cooper Rush? And it's like
Speaker 3: this offense just looks terrible. It does not look anything
Speaker 3: interesting to put in my starting lineups. Like, I can't
Speaker 3: trust him. We're in the phase now in the fantasy
Speaker 3: season where every single win matters, every single the starting
Speaker 3: decision matters at every single position, where you got to
Speaker 3: stack these wins if you're fighting to get into the playoffs,
Speaker 3: Like you're trying to sit comfortable right now. So you
Speaker 3: have a winning team right now, how quickly can you
Speaker 3: go on a three game losing streak right now? You're
Speaker 3: barely making the playoffs. So it's one of those situations
Speaker 3: where you can't trust any of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about the one good game that
Speaker 1: Dak had for fantasy even that though, was they were
Speaker 1: in chase mode. That was against Baltimore where they're get
Speaker 1: get blown out and he was having to throw the
Speaker 1: football just to try to get them back in the game.
Speaker 1: So like even that has comes with, you know, a
Speaker 1: big ask. There's a big caveat next to it because
Speaker 1: of how the game script went in that one. So
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it feels all bad in Dallas. What was
Speaker 1: already a down and frustrating season now feels like the
Speaker 1: wheels have fallen off for the Cowboys for at least,
Speaker 1: you know, the next few weeks. At that point, their
Speaker 1: season might effectively be over. Who knows, LaQuan. I take
Speaker 1: no pleasure in asking this question to you. Is the
Speaker 1: Jets offense back after what we saw on Thursday Night football? No?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it.
Speaker 3: No, Like, no, we gotta we gotta understand what we
Speaker 3: got here, and you know, glad they got there, went
Speaker 3: on the short week, and we shall see how this
Speaker 3: finishes out. There's no way in you know, any shape
Speaker 3: or form that I think this is going to be
Speaker 3: a consistent thing that the Jets are back on offense.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is Aaron Rodgers. We're still playing with
Speaker 3: it right now. It's like he's going to have the
Speaker 3: up and down, the big blow up games. And look,
Speaker 3: the Texans are beat up. They're beat up, man, So
Speaker 3: I'm not really taking that win anything.
Speaker 1: Iould say, boys, it's still just Wilson and Adams, Is
Speaker 1: that I mean? I guess Breeze Hall, yeah, you're.
Speaker 2: Those are the only three. But I think Aaron Rodgers potentially,
Speaker 2: Like I I am tempted to pick the Jets to
Speaker 2: go on a big run here because you look at
Speaker 2: what their schedule is, like they get the Cardinals, the Colts,
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, the Dolphins, the Jags, the Rams, then the
Speaker 2: Bills and the Dolphins. Like, I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 2: win out, which is probably what they have to do
Speaker 2: to get in, but I do think they are going
Speaker 2: to make it interesting these next like this next month,
Speaker 2: like this is what the Jets are going to do,
Speaker 2: Like they they came out and they just you know,
Speaker 2: what they did in the bed and to start the
Speaker 2: year and haven't lived up to any expectations or anything
Speaker 2: like this, Just when everyone counts them out, Rogers and
Speaker 2: Adams and them are gonna be like this, this is
Speaker 2: when we do our thing, and they're gonna go on
Speaker 2: a run. I think it'll come up short, but I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they win like three or four
Speaker 2: in a row coming up based on what the schedule.
Speaker 1: Is I mean this was those you know, those years
Speaker 1: in Green Bay where he'd have some little you know,
Speaker 1: clever quip R E L A X or whatever, and
Speaker 1: then the Packers would turn it up and they would
Speaker 1: win like eight in a row and be the hottest
Speaker 1: team going into the playoffs. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they have that level in them. And also being at
Speaker 1: three and six, they've really put themselves in a tough
Speaker 1: situation because the division feels like an impossibility and maybe
Speaker 1: not impossibility but a strong improbability to come back and
Speaker 1: win the division. But then you also have to deal
Speaker 1: with all the other teams ahead of you in the
Speaker 1: wild card race too, and that is what's gonna make
Speaker 1: it tough. But at least for fantasy, it seems like
Speaker 1: maybe Rogers and Adams and Wilson have found something. Don't
Speaker 1: really love the fact that, you know, Preest Hall is
Speaker 1: kind of sharing more touches than I would have thought.
Speaker 1: Don't love that. But you know, I don't know, Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll figure some things out. Who knows, Floria, what even
Speaker 1: is the point of Marvin Harrison Junior.
Speaker 2: I will give you a peak behind curtain right now.
Speaker 2: I have him as a sit this upcoming week because
Speaker 2: he's going to be playing the Jets. He plays out wide,
Speaker 2: so he's gonna be seeing a lot of Sauce Gardner
Speaker 2: and DJ Reed.
Speaker 1: But you look at his game logs.
Speaker 2: He had the two games in week two and three
Speaker 2: where he had eight and eleven targets, and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is what we want for him. Since then, seven
Speaker 2: or fewer but mostly like six fives. And you look
Speaker 2: at his game logs, two really big games yardage wise.
Speaker 2: Every other game, like since Week four, he has one
Speaker 2: game with over fifty yards, Like he has one touchdown
Speaker 2: in that span as well. Like, it's just not happening
Speaker 2: right now. And I think a lot of it is
Speaker 2: on Kyler Murray. Like yesterday, I mean, Lakwan, I know
Speaker 2: you were locked into that game. I'm sorry it was
Speaker 2: Rank who would be locked into that game. He missed
Speaker 2: Trey McBride wide open in the end zone. And I
Speaker 2: am a big Kyler Stan, but I think the Cardinals
Speaker 2: as a whole are leaving a lot of production out there.
Speaker 2: I'm not giving up long term on Marvin Harrison Junior,
Speaker 2: but he is far from a player that you need
Speaker 2: to start each week. And like next week against the Jets.
Speaker 2: I think it's okay to sit, but.
Speaker 3: You know what the problem is, Greg George is not
Speaker 3: getting the looks. And I'm gonna stamp that because the
Speaker 3: offense looked completely better in Week one when the offense
Speaker 3: was flowing through Greg George. Now Here we are forcing
Speaker 3: the ball to Marvin Harrison because going into this week
Speaker 3: him and Marvin Harrison had the same amount of receptions.
Speaker 1: That is a problem. That is a huge problem. Get
Speaker 1: him in ball.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: I just know, well, the passing game has not been
Speaker 1: what we thought it was going to be. I mean,
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, Kyler was gonna be that
Speaker 1: guy in fantasy right that we were all gonna ride
Speaker 1: with and he was gonna take us to championships, and
Speaker 1: he's really just been meh. It's good that he's running more,
Speaker 1: but in terms of passing, the offense has not really
Speaker 1: looked all that great. And all of our excitement and
Speaker 1: hopes for Marvin Harrison have sort of been underwhelming. I
Speaker 1: guess he's he's become the wide receiver equivalent of what
Speaker 1: of Caleb Williams. Right, Like all the hype, all the
Speaker 1: excitement and the production just has not matched to this
Speaker 1: point in the season. So maybe a little bit of
Speaker 1: a smoke screen after the hype train, which I did
Speaker 1: that because I wrote the rundown so I could tell
Speaker 1: you where the show was going next. Hype Trainer, smoke screen,
Speaker 1: stick around. Coming back for more of the NFL Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Podcast after this. Back here on the NFL Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. I got three names here of guys who
Speaker 1: played well this past week, and you guys can tell
Speaker 1: us whether to hype train or smoke screen. Florida Chase Brown,
Speaker 1: who looks like he is the RB one there for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future with Zach Moss out indefinitely. I know
Speaker 1: it was the Raiders on Sunday, but still hype Trainer
Speaker 1: smoke screen for Chase Brown. Smoke No, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, hype train.
Speaker 1: I was worrying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I almost derailed the train right there, but I'm
Speaker 2: on board the train. And my bold coming into week
Speaker 2: nine was that he was going to finish top ten
Speaker 2: at the position and run for over one hundred yards
Speaker 2: and score a touchdown. He did all of that. He
Speaker 2: was top five at the position, and you look back
Speaker 2: since week four on double digit carries in every game.
Speaker 2: He consistently is used in the passing game. He was
Speaker 2: already seeing more goal on work and now with no
Speaker 2: Zach Moss, he is going to see more.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Next week, short week, tough matchup against the Ravens. Again,
Speaker 2: another peek behind the curtain. I'm telling you to start
Speaker 2: him this week. Like, I don't see any way you
Speaker 2: could get away from Chase Brown right now. And I
Speaker 2: know I said that the Jets are going to go
Speaker 2: on a run. I am one hundred percent confident the
Speaker 2: Bengals are going to go on a run. They're gonna
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and Chase Brown is going to be
Speaker 2: a big point why.
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Burrow's all business, throws five touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: and he was like, what's to be excited about? He's like,
Speaker 1: we still got work to do. So Burrow has got
Speaker 1: them one hundred percent focused for sure. Right now. Courtland Sutton,
Speaker 1: who we've been talking about how the Broncos pass catchers
Speaker 1: aren't really thrive despite bo Nicks being a good fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 1: But Cortlon Sutton had a day so hype trainer, smoke screen.
Speaker 3: Look Courtland Sutton, I think we understand that he's going
Speaker 3: to be that alpha of that offense, and as long
Speaker 3: as bow Knicks keeps targeting him, I'm going to aboard
Speaker 3: this hype train. Man, They're having fun out there playing ball.
Speaker 3: You have Courtland Sutton throwing touchdowns to bow Knicks, like
Speaker 3: where are they pulling this out.
Speaker 1: Of the bag?
Speaker 2: Like where was this at?
Speaker 3: So it's just more so that I think, you know,
Speaker 3: Courtland Sutton can be trusted as a wide receiver three flex,
Speaker 3: you know, week to week.
Speaker 1: I just think more.
Speaker 3: So enjoy the ride, man. I mean, Courtland Sutton looks
Speaker 3: happy to be playing with bow Knicks, And who knows
Speaker 3: how this fantasy playoff shapes out with Courtland Sutton and
Speaker 3: starting lineups.
Speaker 1: I hope, so, I hope. I feel like he's the
Speaker 1: one guy that we could sort of believe in there
Speaker 1: in that offense. So hopefully he's uns to pick some
Speaker 1: things up. I'll throw those out to both of you
Speaker 1: because I feel like I know what the answer is
Speaker 1: going to be. Quinton Johnson had another touchdown. Hype trainer,
Speaker 1: smoke screen, smoke screen, you're on an island. You believe it? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have never stopped believing in Quinton Johnson since
Speaker 2: he's come out of college. Wow, I know everyone else
Speaker 2: is against him. And I yes, that big play yesterday
Speaker 2: was on broken coverage, but I also cook the DV
Speaker 2: off the line and five targets. He was second in
Speaker 2: routes and in targets on the Chargers yesterday. And I
Speaker 2: know we could look back and be like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: not the biggest games.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: His two down games this year. One came against Denver
Speaker 2: where he got hurt in the first half, and the
Speaker 2: other one came against the Chiefs where no one does
Speaker 2: anything big against the Chiefs all year. So yeah, broken plays,
Speaker 2: I get it, But he's getting volume there. He is
Speaker 2: a physical freak. I'm not saying he's gonna be a
Speaker 2: league winner or anything like that. He is just someone
Speaker 2: that I like at the back of my rosters because
Speaker 2: I still do believe there's upside there for him to
Speaker 2: be the wide receiver two behind Lad McConkie for Justin Herbert.
Speaker 1: That part I do believe in. I think I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up. You know, I can't believe they're
Speaker 1: gonna think Joshua Palmer is their wide re for two
Speaker 1: behind lad McConkey. So in that respect, yeah, I'll get
Speaker 1: on that hype train. I just I need to lever.
Speaker 1: I need to I need to I need to see
Speaker 1: I need to see something other than the abusted coverages
Speaker 1: from him. But you know, I think the I think
Speaker 1: this offensive scheme and this offensive coaching staff will try
Speaker 1: to work him in for sure. All Right, so we
Speaker 1: may or may not be having Quentin Johnston on waiver wire.
Speaker 1: Uh looks in the near future, but some deep dive
Speaker 1: waiver wires the kwando, who are we diving deep for?
Speaker 1: This week?
Speaker 3: We're back on DeMarcus Robinson and I know I've said
Speaker 3: multiple times to drop him, pick him up, drop him,
Speaker 3: snip snap, snip snap. We're back and forth forward here
Speaker 3: again for red zone Robinson. I mean, looks going back
Speaker 3: to last season, this dude has led the rams and
Speaker 3: end zone targets. This is huge because, honestly, I get why,
Speaker 3: because all your attentions on Pooka, all your attentions on
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup and he just slides in as a guy
Speaker 3: like hey, I'm open, I'm here, I'm gonna scored a
Speaker 3: touchdown an amazing game last week. Man, I just feel
Speaker 3: great to pick him up and honestly hold him for
Speaker 3: the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: All right, So he's holding on for the rest of
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna have any more like drop the
Speaker 1: Marcus Robinson.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's it's to bed. He's he put the
Speaker 3: egg on my face, Like shut up, lakwan. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: score this touchdown, win the game, and put your anxiety
Speaker 3: at ease.
Speaker 1: I respect it. All right, there we go, h Florida.
Speaker 1: Who's your deep dive this week? Noah Brown? Who.
Speaker 2: I don't know if enough people have taken notice to
Speaker 2: what Noah Brown has been doing as of late, but
Speaker 2: yesterday he led the Commanders in targets, catches, and receiving yards.
Speaker 2: He was second in snaps and routes at the wide
Speaker 2: receiver position, behind only Terry McLaurin, and now in three
Speaker 2: of his last four games he has at least six targets.
Speaker 2: And let's remember back to last year what Noah Brown
Speaker 2: was when either of Tank Dell or Nico Collins missed
Speaker 2: time for the Texans. He was a high upside type
Speaker 2: of player, had a lot of big performances, and now
Speaker 2: he is tied to a great quarterback in a good
Speaker 2: offense that is searching for a consistent number two target
Speaker 2: behind Terry McLaurin, and I think Noah Brown can be that.
Speaker 2: And I think outside of Terry, he is their best
Speaker 2: downfield weapon. So if he could start turning some of
Speaker 2: these targets into deeper plays, I see a real reason
Speaker 2: to get excited here. So you guys know, I love
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels and I'm going to be taking some shots,
Speaker 2: especially in deeper leagues where anyone with the pulse. A
Speaker 2: lot of my leagues it's like I look at the
Speaker 2: waiver wire and I'm like, I don't really want to
Speaker 2: add anyone. Noah Brown is the ideal ad in a
Speaker 2: league like that because he gets overlooked, but he's tied
Speaker 2: to a good offense and.
Speaker 1: He's been productive. That is true passing offense, and a
Speaker 1: guy get a whole lot of opportunities for sure. Jered
Speaker 1: I be I become kind of a fan of Jalen
Speaker 1: Coker over the last couple of weeks, and I know
Speaker 1: Xavier league get is sort of the next man up
Speaker 1: with Deontay Johnson gone. But if you just watch Coker
Speaker 1: and how they use him, the fact that he's going
Speaker 1: out there and they use him underneath, they use him
Speaker 1: over the top. He's out on some really big catches. Now, look,
Speaker 1: their volume isn't necessarily going to be great, and I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you that this is a guy you're gonna
Speaker 1: plug into your lineup every single week. But we talked
Speaker 1: on Monday about how Bryce Young looks more comfortable and
Speaker 1: the offense is getting better there in Carolina, and I
Speaker 1: think Jalen Coker can sort of be a recipient of that.
Speaker 1: So this is definitely more of a deep league sort
Speaker 1: of option for you. I think there are some potentially
Speaker 1: big games coming. The Panthers are always going to be
Speaker 1: in chase mode. They're going to have to throw the
Speaker 1: football a lot just because their defense is going to
Speaker 1: give up points. And so you know, look, I get
Speaker 1: Legett is going to be the guy that is going
Speaker 1: to be more popular off the waiver wiring Carolina. But
Speaker 1: don't overlook Jalen Coker with what he's doing in the way.
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is hopefully showing some improvement. So if we
Speaker 1: are adding folks, we're also dropping folks. Who are we
Speaker 1: waving goodbye to oq.
Speaker 3: Oh, we are saying goodbye to Braylan Allen Man. I
Speaker 3: mean since Robert Sala has been fired, he's played less
Speaker 3: than twenty five percent in the snaps. It's really Breecee
Speaker 3: Hall's backfield. It's honestly, you're holding on to a zombie
Speaker 3: at this point where I'm finding other options on the
Speaker 3: wire that I need to make room for. So if
Speaker 3: you need to make room, you can probably make room
Speaker 3: for Braylen Allen to hit the bench or hit the
Speaker 3: waiver wire. I should say based on just there's no
Speaker 3: real activity coming from him to feel confident enough to
Speaker 3: put him in the starting lineups. I know a couple
Speaker 3: of pieceful people personally that are in leagues with me,
Speaker 3: and like they keep putting him into flex as if
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some type of upside when he's not
Speaker 3: touching the ball much. His touches have just decreased each
Speaker 3: week has gone on. It's Breeze Hall's show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I mean it's weirdo. Sometimes it
Speaker 1: feels like they use Allen at the goal line and
Speaker 1: other situations. Not enough that I want to start him,
Speaker 1: but enough that he you know, if I have Breeze Hall,
Speaker 1: I'm irritated. So I don't know. Mary, Yeah, Florida, who
Speaker 1: are you dropping?
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm dropping deer Nis Johnson, who I have a
Speaker 2: lot of teams that are in desperate for running back production,
Speaker 2: like our Fantasy Live League, and I've streamed deer Is
Speaker 2: Johnson a couple of weeks in a row because it
Speaker 2: was like, all right, the floor isn't like the floor
Speaker 2: ceiling aren't super high either way, but he's gonna catch
Speaker 2: some pass. Maybe he'll get used near the goal line
Speaker 2: or something like that. Then with Travis Etn back yesterday,
Speaker 2: Bigsby led them and carries. Etn led them in routes
Speaker 2: and snaps Deanna Johnson's only target. Yes, it was the
Speaker 2: biggest target of the game. I don't know why they
Speaker 2: drew up that play for him, but that was his
Speaker 2: only target of the game. So yeah, there's just not
Speaker 2: enough production there. In fact, I would say I don't
Speaker 2: feel good about any of the Jaguars running backs moving forward,
Speaker 2: especially with their schedules. So yeah, I am cleaning house
Speaker 2: if I can of this backfield altogether.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's looking rough there for sure. I guess
Speaker 1: we'll continue with the running back theme. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Ezekiel Elliott, who apparently just doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: there anymore. It seems like in Dallas, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's apparently been habitually showing up late, he's missing meetings.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys just told him to stay home and not
Speaker 1: travel with the team. It feels like the beginning of
Speaker 1: the end. And I know a lot of people are like, well,
Speaker 1: who has the z kla? Looking at across platforms, he's
Speaker 1: still rostered in about forty percent of fantasy league, So
Speaker 1: people out there are still either it's folks who I
