9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope yours was a good one this

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: weekend Happy Halloween. I did go to a costume party

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but besides, I mean Halloween day, I was

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: just watching football, uh, enjoying some wins and fantasy and

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: taking some hard losses. But how is your Halloween? It

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: was good. It might involved being around a lot of

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: small people, mostly children, dressed in costume, been running about madly,

16
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, a good time was had. There was food,

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: there was drink, uh, and there was football sprinkled in

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: there occasionally as well too. So yeah, not all bad.

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I can't complain. Did did you dress up? I did not.

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: I dressed up as a an aging dad who you know,

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: spent this time racking about fantasy football. Next year, though,

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: next year, I'm gonna try to be on top of

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: it and see if we can figure something out. So

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I got what three hundred and sixty four days basically

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: to figure out what I'm gonna do for Halloween. Now,

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: basically you're gonna you'll probably take like three hundred and

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: forty something of those to not think about it, and

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: then and then at the end next October, Yeah, it'd

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: be like October and I'll be like scrambling, like I

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: gotta come up with something that's you know, because that's

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: just that's just how things operate. So, uh, we got

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. We're gonna talk about some

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers that maybe we're fully out on, some brand

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: name wide receivers that maybe we're fully out on, and

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: maybe some lesser known guys it's time to start banking on.

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna to do the waiver wire picks, which are

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna be especially big. We'll let you know why in

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: just a moment. And of course we'll have a Monday

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: night preview with the Giants and the Chiefs rounding out

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: Week eight. But let's start with some fantasy headlines. And

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: uh some really really big ones that start with the

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: maybe the most notable one and you probably saw it

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the moment you woke up and opened your social media apps.

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry right now has a broken bone in his

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: foot and it looks very much like he could miss

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the season for the Tennessee Titans. I

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: think best case scenario, they are saying eight weeks. That's

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: at an absolute minimum, which then puts him maybe at

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: fantasy championship weeks. So in essence, his fantasy season is

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: probably done. He very well could miss the rest of

51
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: the year for the Titans as well. Huge news in

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: both real football and fantasy football. Florio, So what does

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: this mean for the rest of the Titans offense? If

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: they don't have l tracked racistso for the rest of

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: the year, it's definitely not good. I think Derrick Henry

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: is up there with like Lamar Jackson, uh Patrick Mahomes

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: is the players that influenced their offense the most. Like

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: this guy was a absolute beast. He had um fifty

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: five percent yeah of the Titans touches this year. No

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: other running back has at least half of their team's

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: touches eighty two more carries than any other running back,

62
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: nearly three hundred more yards and four more rushing touchdowns

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: than any other running back. He was by far the

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: RB one. I think the Titans offense obviously you're not

65
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna be able to replace this guy, so I think

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: they'll bring in another name. Jeremy Jeremy McNichols is someone

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to grab off the waiver wire, and we're gonna talk

68
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: more on him later. But what I'm really envisioning is

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: them having to throw more. Like a J. Brown and

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Julio Jones are now your top offensive weapons. I think

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: those guys all get more utilized. I was getting to

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 1: the point where I was like, maybe Julio Jones, I

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I have to give up on him, But no longer

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: because is I think this offense is just naturally gonna

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: have to throw a whole lot more. Now. I'm very

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: curious to see what they do to try and replace

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: Henry Jeremy McNichols on paper, sort of the next guy up.

78
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: There were reports on Monday morning that the Titans planned

79
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: to work out Adrian Peterson. Uh he has been a

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: free agent all year, but they were they were going

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: to bring him in and see maybe what he has

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: left in the tank. And of course, as we sit

83
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: and record this podcast, we were about twenty seven hours

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: away from the NFL trade deadline, so there's very much

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: a thought that the Titans could go out bring somebody

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: else in. The names have been varied from Marlon Mack

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: and Indianapolis, Ronald Jones and Tampa Bay. Uh, just a

88
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of names out there that could potentially land in Tennessee.

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: We know that you're not going to replace a Derrick

90
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Henry just one for one like that is just straight

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: up impossible, But would you be inclined to maybe you

92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: take a waiver wire shot at whoever looks like is

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: the next man up in that backfield. Yeah, that's why

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: as of now, I think it's McNichols as the top

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: ad because I think in at least in the immediate future,

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: he will have a large role there if they if

97
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: it's only Adrian Peterson they bring in, I think that

98
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: he would then be at least picked up as a

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: flex option, potentially as the lead runner there. Um Selfishly,

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Melvin Gordon ends up getting traded in there.

101
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: We know Melvin Gordon's on a contract year and then

102
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: that sets Javontay Williams free, it would mean great things

103
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: for both of them. I don't think that's too realistic.

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: But like Marlon Mack, one of the Texans running backs,

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, I know you said, Tyson Williams. I think

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: they're all candidates that could be traded. So it's gonna

107
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what the Titans do here to

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: replace him. But I do think whoever is the lead

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: back there will be fantasy relevant, even if it's more

110
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: of an RB two role, just because someone is going

111
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: to get you know, like twelve fifteen touches per week

112
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: in this backfield. Whoever it is, their first task is

113
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: going to be against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

114
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Night Football, which it was already going to be difficult,

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: It's probably going to be even more difficult because the

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: other piece of big news that happened that literally just

117
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: before we started recording this show. Uh, the Broncos are

118
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: trading Von Miller to the Rams for a couple of

119
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: second day picks in two. The Rams basically just don't

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: like drafting. That's that's maybe part of it. But on

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: top of it, they keep loading up with stars. So

122
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: they already have a defense that has Aaron Donald and

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Now they're adding von Miller to it. So

124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: what is already a bully in l A is a

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: bigger bully. So um whoever we like in that backfield FLOORIA,

126
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: I think I think we're not starting them against the

127
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Rams this week. The the only one that I would

128
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: consider starting is McNichols because I think that he could

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: catch a lot of passage. You're not gonna be able

130
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: to run on that Rams D line, I don't think

131
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: at all, So I think McNichols maybe could get some

132
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: dump off. We did see him get a game this

133
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: year with double digit targets, but even him, he's like

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: an RB two reflex. I haven't done the Week nine

135
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: rankings yet, but I'm envisioning him coming in as like, uh,

136
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: probably more of a flex option. So we'll see what

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: happens with that obviously huge news, and it's gonna leave

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy managers scrambling. A lot of folks

139
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna be hit in the waiver wire this week, trying

140
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: to replace Derrick Henry Uh In Atlanta, Calvin Ridley was

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: a surprise scratch just before kickoff of their game against

142
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers for personal issues, and then later on

143
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, he released a statement basically saying that he

144
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: plans to step away from football for an undetermined period

145
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: of time as he focuses on his mental well being.

146
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: So first and foremost, uh, just best wishes to Calvin

147
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: Ridley to you know, want the courage to come out

148
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and make the statement. But second, uh, just hopefully take

149
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: some time get right. Football certainly is not the priority,

150
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: your health is. So wish Calvin Ridley all the best

151
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: in that respect. Um. And you know, and when things

152
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: are right, hopefully we will see him out there again

153
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: doing what he does so very well. UM. As for

154
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: turning this to football and fantasy football specifically for the Falcons,

155
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: who steps up now in this offense with Ridley gone

156
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: for who knows how long? I think it is a

157
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: surprising name. I think it's taj a Sharp because in

158
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: the two games we've already seen Calvin Ridley sit out

159
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: two games. And and like you said, we're hoping Calvin

160
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: Ridley the best. Don't be the player the fantasy manager

161
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: who tweets something negative to Calvin Ridley. Somethings are bigger

162
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: than football. And especially fantasy. But in those two games

163
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: that Ridley sat Sharp has been the one that stepped up. Yesterday,

164
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: he tied for the team lead in targets and catches

165
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: and lead them in receiving yards. And in the London

166
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, when Ridley sat out, Sharp had

167
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: five targets, catching four of them for fifty three yards.

168
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: So he's topped nine fantasy points in both of those games.

169
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he brings a high ceiling, but for

170
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: those in deeper leagues, I think he brings a kind

171
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: of a safe floor. I mean, Russell Gauge didn't have

172
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: a target yesterday. We gotta stop falling in love with

173
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: what the second half of last year was for Russell Gage.

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge is who he is at this point. He's

175
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: not someone that I'm really all too interested in for fantasy.

176
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: So I think Sharp. But Kyle Pitts Marcus Uh, I

177
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: think he's looking for for real estate on the moon

178
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: right now. I mean he might be right. Although yesterday

179
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: was not necessarily a great day for for Kyle Pitts.

180
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I will say that what Taj Sharp has working in

181
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: his advantage is being familiar with the offense. He was

182
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: in Tennessee with Arthur Smith. Now Smith obviously the head

183
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Falcon, so there's definitely some familiarity there.

184
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: I do know that everybody who's already in on Kyle

185
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: Pitts is gonna be even more in on Kyle Pitts.

186
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: My only small concern is that now, if you're a defense,

187
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: you look around, You're like, well, that's the guy we

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: want to take away. That's the guy we're really going

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: to focus our attention on. UM. So I'm I'm very

190
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: curious to see what is what is going to be

191
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: more effective. Is it going to be the defense just

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: trying to take Kyle Pitts away. Is it going to

193
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: be the Falcons just really going all in on trying

194
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: to get the ball to him. So that's that's the thing.

195
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to watch, UM. But I do like

196
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: your Taj Sharp call because I think one I always

197
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: forget Taj Sharp is a thing and then he like

198
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: catches a touchdown and I'm like, oh, yeah, Taja Sharp

199
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: still in the league. But I do think he's he's

200
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: sort of poised to kind of be the next guy

201
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: there in Atlanta. But man, this UM, you know, it

202
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: definitely changes things, uh with this Falcon's offense. Yesterday before

203
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is dud Marcus I said on the Sunday Show,

204
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: I said that, Um, Kyle, only Travis Kelsey, I think

205
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: is the only tight end that I would want over

206
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts the rest of the way. Uh, do you

207
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: feel the same way? Are you still like Waller, Kelsey

208
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: or Kittle or any of those guys? I would say

209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: Kelsey for sure. I would put Waller there too, just

210
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: because he occupies so many targets in that offense. But

211
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: I know, I saw a pole going around on Twitter

212
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: about who would you rather have in Dynasty and Pitts.

213
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't matter who you were putting him against.

214
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: It was Kelsey, it was Waller who never Pitts was

215
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: running away with everything there. So UM, I mean, I

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have growing painting, He's going to have

217
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: games like we saw yesterday, But long term, the future

218
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: is super bright, super bright for him. Um elsewhere in

219
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: the division. Other big news, Jamis Winston was carded off

220
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday in that game against the Tampa

221
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Word has come down on Monday morning, that

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: he has a torn a c L and he is

223
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: going to be done for the season. Um. You know,

224
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: at first I was just gonna ask like, what does

225
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: this mean for guys like Alvin Kamarain mark Ingram And

226
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: that's certainly important. Um, but now are we in on

227
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, who's who's scheduled to come back in week nine?

228
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Does that make you a little bit more interested in him? Yeah?

229
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: It does. You might have heard of me just wins

230
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: because that that one angle man that needful bad for

231
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: jamis Winston. I I mean you saw helps that the

232
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: players there were too, so hoping the best for him.

233
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: I think Taysom Hill he's on tracks to return next

234
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: week in a great matchup like we were talking about

235
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: before the show, markets against the Falcons. And last season

236
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: when he was the starter, he scored over seventeen and

237
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: a half Fantasy points in every game. He top twenty

238
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: and half of those games. So I think he brings

239
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: a safe enough floor and a high enough ceiling where

240
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: you could consider him almost a QB one each week,

241
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: definitely a high end QB two if nothing else. So

242
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: he is my top quarterback ad of the week right

243
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: now because he's gonna be the guy the rest of

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: the way it looks like, and for the other pieces there.

245
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: I do think this hurts Alvin Kmara because his past

246
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: game usage was slow to get out the gate, But

247
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: then the last couple of weeks with Winston we were

248
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: seeing it happen again. We remember what it was like

249
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: last year when Taysom Hill was the starter. There wasn't

250
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: There was only one game where Camaro saw a big

251
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: volume in the passing game, and Taysom Hill had four

252
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in those four starts, so we know he's

253
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: not afraid to take the was a way. Plus one

254
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: thing they did last year in those games was they

255
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: went with the more like heavy ground and pound style

256
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and we saw Latavias Mary used more in those four weeks,

257
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: So maybe we see a little bit more mark ingram

258
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: than we would like. I think you have to be

259
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about Alvin Camara right now. He's

260
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: still in RB one, But is he still like a

261
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: top three running back? Not in my mind. I mean,

262
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: let's let's go back to August when we weren't sure

263
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: who exactly the starting quarterback was going to be for

264
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the Saints and the consensus was we wanted it to

265
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: be Jameis Winston simply because it would preserve the value

266
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: of Alvin Camara. So we sort of got our wish,

267
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: and even after a slow start, Camara has been pretty

268
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: good the last few weeks. Now, if we are going

269
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: back to the tastom thing, it is what you said.

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: We're worried about Taysom Hill taking those short yardage carries,

271
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: taking those goal line carries, and whether or not he's

272
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: going to target Camara at all. Uh. We we just

273
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: don't know if if past this prologue, uh, then it

274
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: doesn't look very excited for what that's going to be.

275
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: But we'll keep an eye out on it. I will

276
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: say that selfishly, it makes me feel good about all

277
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: the spots where I took a late round shot at

278
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill uh and held on to him to this point.

279
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: So that selfishly for me, is gonna maybe hopefully work

280
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: out in the very near future. If I have Alvin

281
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: Camara right now, I would try. I don't know if

282
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: you could pull it off, but like Jonathan Taylor, Naji Harris,

283
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, three names that I would try to flip

284
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Camara for right now. Very interesting. Yeah, and they're definitely

285
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna be takers for Alvin Camara out there without a doubt.

286
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Last bit of news this in Jacksonville, James Robinson left

287
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: the game against the Seahawks in the first half with

288
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: with an ankle or foot injury. Right now, he is

289
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: considered day today for Jacksonville. Um, do we dare go

290
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: out and get Carlos Hide right now? I think so.

291
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: As of yesterday, I thought he was gonna be one

292
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: of the top pickups I've since lowered on him after

293
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: the update on Robinson came out. But this is a

294
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: rebuilding Jags team, so I wouldn't be surprised if they

295
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: took it a little easy with Robinson, gave him a

296
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: week or so to get fully right because you don't

297
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: want him getting, you know, more severely injured. And if

298
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: that is the case, then I think Carlos High is

299
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in in store for a fifteen plus touch workload.

300
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: We saw yesterday they targeted him eight times out of

301
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: the backfield. Because this Jacksonville offense is just awful right

302
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: now and they're likely to be trailing moving forward, I

303
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: will take the big l on Trevor Lawrence in this offense.

304
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be a lot better than

305
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: they were. But if Robinson sits Hide, I think becomes

306
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: like a flex or on RB two. So I do

307
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: think he should be picked up. But he's not like

308
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: the top RB pick up this week. Yeah, I would

309
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: agree with that. It's you know, urban Meyer seems to

310
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: get his wish. He was trying to shoot Hoorn Carlos

311
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Hide in early in the season until he realized that

312
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: James Robinson was really good. Now Robinson may miss time.

313
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how that happened. So myyer gets to put

314
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide back there. Uh, it doesn't mean we have

315
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: to be excited about it. Um. So I gets us

316
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: through our big headlines that it's time for another round

317
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: of things. We learned all the stuff that we took

318
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: away from watching football on Sunday, maybe even Thursday as well,

319
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: and what we plan to do about it going forward.

320
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: So you have the floor. What what is new in

321
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: your brain now? Michael Pittman Jr. Is a must start

322
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: every single week wide receiver. I know we were both

323
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: excited for him coming into the year. Marcus and even

324
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: I I don't know, I I probably not even you

325
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: thought that Michael Pittman this quickly would become like as

326
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: good as he has been. But it's been everything we

327
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: wanted and more. I mean, yesterday fifteen targets, which is amazing,

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty eight yards. He caught the two touchdowns,

329
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: ten catches for eighties six yards. You just look at

330
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: this guy's recent game log since week two. It's over

331
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: twenty points thirteen, twelve, twenty. Then he had a six

332
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: twenty thirty one. Like this guy has been going off.

333
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: He's the unquestioned top target for Carson Wentz. There, Carson

334
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Wentz is playing better ball than he gets credit for

335
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: two and it's weekly that this guy is making a

336
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: grown man like Randy mom style catch. He can high

337
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: point the ball with the best of them. I'm super

338
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: excited for the many teams that I drafted him on,

339
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: and now I am just putting him in my starting

340
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: lineup and not even thinking twice about it. Early in

341
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: the season, I loved all the opportunity he was getting

342
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: and it wasn't necessarily translating into big games. Early on,

343
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Uh we saw, you know, Zach Pascal had a few

344
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns right out of the gate, and Pittman was slow

345
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: in that department, but it was one of the things

346
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: that we all said, Look, just the fact that they

347
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: are throwing him the ball so much, it's hard to

348
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: imagine you're gonna keep his production down like that. Uh.

349
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: And we've we've turned things around, so it is kind

350
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: of what we hoped it would be. It is you're

351
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna say, I don't I don't know that I thought

352
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: he'd be the wide receiver eleven right now, but this

353
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: is where we are, and it is gonna be hard

354
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: to make a case to keep him out of your

355
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: line up at any point going forward. On the flip side,

356
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: Titans still a dumpster fire. Uh. You look at the

357
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: let's look at the the top ten or twelve tight

358
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: end from this past week, and sure there's some names

359
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: that aren't surprised. T J. Hawkinson being that list, not surprising,

360
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, Uh, not surprising. Pat Freman with maybe not

361
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: even super surprising because we thought he had some sleeper potential.

362
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: But Dan Arnold, Brevin Jordan's, Jesse James, Jeff Swain, Jordan's

363
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Aiken's Uh, Tyler Croft. I mean, these are some of

364
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: your top twelve tight ends from week eight. You know,

365
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: obviously you had Mark Andrews and Darren Waller on a

366
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: by George Kittle is still hurt, Travis Kelsey hasn't played yet. Yes,

367
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: that kind of factors into it. But the fact is

368
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: there are a lot of names out there that ended

369
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: up having decent fantasy weeks that like brevn Jordan's isn't

370
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: on anyone's roster on NFL dot com, Jesse James isn't

371
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: rostered at all NFL dot com, Tyler Croft is on

372
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: point one percent of rosters. These are guys that nobody

373
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: is thinking about that are having big weeks. So I

374
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like this is just a reminder

375
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: that it is maybe worth paying up in drafts to

376
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: get yourself a tight end so you're just not having

377
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: to deal with this headache mid season. Yeah, and even

378
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: the tight ends that we paid up for. I like, like,

379
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: has Travis Kelsey really lived up to the expectations. He's

380
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: he's been great, like good, but I don't know if

381
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: he's been like top five wide receiver, which is what

382
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: he's been the last couple of years. Uh, tight end

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: is just it's just bad. I do agree you pay

384
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: up for it or because even if you end up

385
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: with one of the you know, lower end tight ends

386
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: that you could trust each week, like a Noah Fan

387
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: or a Mike Gasicki or Dallas got Her like they've

388
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: been very up and down. So yeah, tight end is

389
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: just it's a nightmare markets every year, and we say

390
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: this every year, it is just going to stay this way,

391
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and every year people start to think, oh, it's a

392
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: little bit deeper. Nope, it's it's bad. It's bad. It's

393
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: just it's just bad. So uh yeah, that's that's my

394
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: tight end rant for for this week. That gets us

395
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: to a break. When we come back, we'll talk about

396
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: some of the top performers and whether or not things

397
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: are starting to turn a corner for a couple of

398
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: rookies in fantasy. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football

399
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Show m taking a look at our top performers in

400
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Week eight. Some of the notable names. Jimmy Garoppolo was

401
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: your QB two. He was I guess hearing the Trey

402
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: Lance drumbeat and decided to go out and ball against

403
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: the fairs. Mike White was your QB three. Justin Fields

404
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: your QB four. Gino Smith with twenty two points QB seven,

405
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: Michael Carter your top scoring running back. A J. Brown,

406
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: you number one wide receiver thirty one and a half point.

407
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: We talked about Michael Pittman. He was your wide receiver

408
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: to MARII. Cooper was wide receiver four this week with

409
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: twenty six points, including that fantastic juggling catch late against

410
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings and in the game when he touched down

411
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: as well. Dan Arnold. As you're tied into Pat friar Mouth,

412
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: we talked about just a bit ago. He was your

413
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: tight end three. But let's talk about a couple of

414
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: names on that board. First off, Justin Fields has the

415
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: really nice day. I know a lot of folks were

416
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: sort of making jokes about the fact that his best

417
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: day came when Matt Naggy was unavailable. He was still

418
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: out with covid uh and he was not there, and

419
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Justin Fields goes off and very nearly pulls off a

420
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: win against the forty niners. Is this the start of

421
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: something big for Justin Fields? I hope so. Uh. Like

422
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm not at the point where I'm gonna plug Fields

423
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: like into my starting lineup, but I think if he

424
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: was dropped, you should be picking him up right now. Um,

425
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: he didn't throw for a whole bunch of yards, but man,

426
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: what we wanted was, like this exactly what you're seeing

427
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: on your screen. Let him improvise, let him do what

428
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: he does best, pick up points with his legs. What

429
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: one of the prettier touchdown runs you're gonna see from

430
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But it's not the first game that he's

431
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: been running more his last three weeks Marcus Forte thirty

432
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: eight and a hundred and three rushing yards. So I

433
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: am starting to get excited for justin fields. Obviously, I

434
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: think he's like a big buy in Dynasty if people

435
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: are souring on him, But in seasonal leagues, I think

436
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: that he is still just a bench stash with upside.

437
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Like if you have a shaky QB one, I'm okay

438
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: grabbing or not one of the elite QB ones, I'm

439
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: cool grabbing him as a bench stash because he does

440
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: possess a lot of upside in fantasy because of what

441
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: we saw him do yesterday, and that's run. It's just

442
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: amazing what happens when you can let your athletic quarterback

443
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: be athletic, and that's what we saw out of Justin Fields.

444
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we we have been waiting all this time

445
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: for him to get out and make plays with his legs.

446
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: It hadn't happened. So I don't know, if you know,

447
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: if I hope all's well with Matt Naggy. I hope

448
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and I hope he can come back and

449
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: come to work or what have you. But maybe he

450
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: sat and watched this and realized, hey, maybe this is

451
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: some of the things we should try to do with

452
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: our young quarterbacks. So I hope this is the start

453
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: of something. But I'm sort of with you. I still

454
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: am going to be cautious, just because the whole body

455
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: of work has not matched what we saw yesterday, and

456
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: I want, I just want more to know that I

457
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: can be confident starting him and Fields has a good game.

458
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: Allan Robinson doesn't still doesn't have a good game. And

459
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Alan Robinson a little bit later

460
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: on in the show too. Uh. Michael Carter had easily

461
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: his biggest day in his very young NFL career. He

462
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: got over thirty Fantasy points. As we talked about the

463
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Jets get a surprise win thanks to Mike White leading

464
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the way. So same question Is this the start of

465
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: something big for Michael Carter. Yes, I think Michael Carter

466
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: has fully taken over the Jets backfield. Last week and

467
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: Week seven, he played more snaps and ran more routes

468
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: than any Jets running back had in a game. He

469
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: did the same thing this past week. He played over

470
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: the snaps. He was the Jets leading receiver for a

471
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: second straight game. I will say that the targets him

472
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant to trust because Mike White has

473
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: thrown his passes to running backs. I don't think that's

474
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: the case if and when Zack Wilson returns. I know

475
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: people are trying to make it sound like there's a

476
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy in New York. I'm not so sure that

477
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: there is. But the bigger thing, too is Carter got

478
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: all of the touches yesterday inside the ten yard line.

479
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: He had been splitting those with Ty Johnson all year.

480
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: I think Carter is fully taken over. I think at

481
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: worst he's an RB two moving forward with a lot

482
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: more upside than that. I think that's the poor The

483
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: important part here is that I don't see him really

484
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: splitting time significantly with anybody else. And you go back

485
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: to the start of the season with the Jets. Jets offense,

486
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: you talked about Ty Johnson being there, Tevin Coleman was

487
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: still getting some opportunity as well, and I think they

488
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: were just trying to ease Carter in. Now that we've

489
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: hit pretty much the halfway point of the season, I

490
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: think the Jets understand what they have and we're going

491
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: to see a lot more of him going forward. I

492
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: agree with you the target shares probably not going to

493
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: be as heavy as it has been, But if he's

494
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: getting pretty much all the touches in the backfield, then

495
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: then that makes me feel a little bit more confident

496
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: about him as a second RB or or a flex

497
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: option depending on, you know, what my roster looks like

498
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: at that point. So all good news for the rookies,

499
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: at least for a couple of the rookies this week

500
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: that we were waiting for big things on um things

501
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: that did not go well brings us to I am

502
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: salty for the week, And look, I just normally we

503
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: each pick somebody that we're salty about, but I felt

504
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: like what happened yesterday, there was just one name that

505
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: was on everyone's lips that had everyone frustrated and upset. Um,

506
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and it was Kenneth Gainwell. And maybe it's not Kenneth

507
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Gainwell we should be salty with. It's Nick Sirianni that

508
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: we should be salty with that. They decided to give

509
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: so much opportunity to Boston Scott and to Jordan Howard,

510
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: and Gainwell didn't really see the field until late in

511
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: that game when the Eagles had already salted it away.

512
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: They were I think thirty four nothing on the Lions.

513
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: When we started to see Kenny Gainwell get some opportunities. Um,

514
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: should we have seen this coming? And what do we

515
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: do now? Uh? Should we have seen this coming? No?

516
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: Because the coaching step was talking of Gainwell. Beat reporters

517
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: were talking of Gainwell as the new lead back there. Um.

518
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: I think maybe we should have saw the lack of

519
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: targets because of game script. But I don't know why

520
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: everyone's so mad. Marcus Kenny Gainewell still lead this backfield

521
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: and carries uh just yet thirteen of them? No. I

522
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: know it was awful, but I think it was the

523
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: game script and and the matchup that led to it.

524
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: The Lions, you could just power run all over them.

525
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: They've given up more touchdowns to running backs by far

526
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: than any team in the league this year and last year.

527
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: It's just a matchup where you could just run all

528
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: over them, and that's what the Eagles did, and that's

529
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: why Jalen Hurts had his worst game of the year.

530
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: I think like as soon as the next week when

531
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: they play the Chargers. Yeah, I know that's a team

532
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: that you can run against, but there I expect the

533
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Eagles to be trailing in that game and that's when

534
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: it leads to a lot of dump offs to the

535
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: running backs, which is going to benefit Kenny gaine Will.

536
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: His role didn't really change. He's still that secondary RB

537
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: that they're gonna use in the passing game. The only

538
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: thing is they didn't need to throw the ball a

539
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: whole lot yesterday. I mean, Jalen Hurts only through fourteen times.

540
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: So I I put it in the waiver wide article.

541
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm not dropping Kenny gaine Will yet. I understand that

542
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: it might be a little tough to trust him, but

543
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll bounce back next week. I just think

544
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: it was a terrible game script for him and for

545
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. I will also say I didn't see the

546
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Eagles just just hammering the Lions quite like that. You know,

547
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: the Lions have been frisky. I think I actually picked

548
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: them to win. I know there are other people that

549
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: sort of picked them to win, and um, the Eagles

550
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: apparently read our memos and they didn't take kindly to it.

551
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: So definitely a surprise, definitely frustrating, frustrating and a lot

552
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: of respects. Because you mentioned Jalen Hurts in a game

553
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: where the Eagles score forty four points, this is the

554
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: time that Jalen Hurts doesn't get to twenty fantasy points. Uh.

555
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: Davante Smith really didn't do much of anything either. It

556
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: was very heavy Boston Scott and Jordan Howard in this one.

557
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of folks, not just us, are salty.

558
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: So I felt like that was that was sort of

559
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: the only real option we had for I'm salty for

560
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: this week's show. Yeah, so I tell you this every week.

561
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on telling you follow us on TikTok

562
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy. I'm talking to you specifically with the

563
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: hair and the glasses all of that, you know whatever. Uh,

564
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: you know, we're doing a lot of fun, entertaining, informative

565
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: stuff to hopefully help you become a better fantasy manager

566
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: and also become a time suck while you're just sitting

567
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: there on your phone scrolling. So all of those things

568
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: follow us at NFL Fantasy. You can selfishly follow me

569
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: at Marcus Aunt and one of these days we'll get

570
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Florio up and running two, so you can follow him

571
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: to once once that's all happening here. Adam Ranks another one.

572
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: It's a good follows check him out to at Adam

573
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Rank on TikTok check it out. Um. Let's talk some

574
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers, because there are some big name wide receivers

575
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: who have utterly let us down this year and asking

576
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: whether or not it's just time to actually say goodbye

577
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: and drop them, especially at wide receiver, which is easily

578
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the deepest position, you can find replacements fairly easily. I

579
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: know it's hard sometimes to say to say goodbye to

580
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: a guy that you spent a high draft pick on,

581
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: but sometimes you just gotta do it. So let's start

582
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: where we always seem to start in these conversations with

583
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, and you talked about it earlier. Justin Fields

584
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: has a good game. Robinson still does not. He's rostered

585
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: and se of NFL dot Com leagues. He's got seven

586
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: games with fewer than nine points. Uh. And like you said,

587
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: even with a big game for the quarterback, he still

588
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: can't find a way to be productive. I mean, are

589
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: we just is it just time to drop out and Robinson? Uh?

590
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: I know this is like the sixth time I'm saying

591
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: this this year. I'm not ready to drop Alan Robinson,

592
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: but but a big but we will know by the

593
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: time you put your waivers in if you could drop

594
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: him or not. Because the only reason I'm holding onto

595
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: him right now, Marcus is if he is traded. Um,

596
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: because we know the Bears are a rebuilding team. They're

597
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: not there. I know they are competitive, but they're they're

598
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: probably not looking for a playoff spot this year. I

599
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: think they're looking to build around their young quarterback. And

600
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: Robinson was franchised. He kind of made it clear he

601
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: wants to sign a long term deal elsewhere, so I

602
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: think it's a possibility that the Bears could ship him.

603
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday we saw Darneld Mooney get nine targets,

604
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: Cooke met got six, Robinson had just four. He's unstartable

605
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: right now, and if he is still on the Bears,

606
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: roster after the trade deadline, then I think I will

607
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: finally admit that I'm okay taking the l and just

608
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: completely dropping Allen Robinson. We thought it was bad when

609
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: he had nine point three points against the Packers in

610
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: weeks six. His next two games combined against the Bucks

611
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: and then yesteday against the forty Niners, he hasn't even

612
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: reached that nine point three uh in those two games combined.

613
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: He's currently the wide receiver fifty nine, just slightly ahead

614
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: of Brian Edwards. Um, yeah, I I would say yes.

615
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: If he's still with the Bears by the time we

616
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: get past the trading deadline, then it's fine for him

617
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: to go back to to the waiver wire. But you know,

618
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: if he gets moved to somewhere, then maybe we're still

619
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: still holding on a little bit. Um. Then there's Odell

620
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Who's on rosters. In NFL dot Com week,

621
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: he had just one target. He's had fewer than thirty

622
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: receiving yards in four of the six games he's played.

623
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: Also part of it is that he continues to sort

624
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: of be banged up in dealing with nagging injuries. The

625
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: Brown's offense is inconsistent Baker Mayfield has some injuries. Again, Odell,

626
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that still has some name value,

627
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: although I feel like that's fading a little bit. But

628
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: um is is it okay if we put him back

629
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: in the waiver pool? Now down Fantasy Live the other day,

630
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: I said, Oldell Beckham, you see him, you hear the name.

631
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: He looks like a superstar wide receiver. But then when

632
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: you look at his production, it's basically Nelson aguilor like

633
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: and that's it got even worse yesterday. I mean, he's

634
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: averaging five point seven targets per game, less than seven

635
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game. He's giving you forty one yards

636
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: per game, and he doesn't have a touchdown on the year.

637
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: It is brutal. My answer for Beckham is the same

638
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: as Alan Robinson. If he is not traded and he

639
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: is still on the Cleveland Brown's roster as of tomorrow

640
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: after the trade deadline, I think you can go ahead

641
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: and drop him. I have seen pictures of him like

642
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: photoshop in a Packers uniform. I would love that, and

643
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: I would say definitely hold onto him if he's moved.

644
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: But it seems a little bit more likely that Robinson

645
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: would be traded, I'd say with the Browns still actually

646
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: competing for the playoff spots. So if he is still

647
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: there and not dealt I think it's fine to get

648
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: him off your roster. He's a name and that's it

649
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: at this point. Right now, he's a name, and like

650
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: I said, even that name is sort of fading because

651
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: it's been a few years since since Beckham's last real glory.

652
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, at least with Robinson we had last year,

653
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, like like Beckham, it's been a few years.

654
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: I will say I feel a little less conflicted if

655
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: I were to drop Beckham simply because I came into

656
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: the year and I said repeatedly, I just didn't know

657
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: what to make of him, Like it could have gone

658
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: either way, and I think I sort of settled on

659
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they were gonna be some decent games,

660
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some bad games. Um there have been

661
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot more bad games than decent games

662
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: this year. So uh, Like like Florio said, if he

663
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: gets traded, then hey, let's reevaluate. But in the meantime,

664
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: it's not looking good for keeping him on the roster.

665
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: So those are two guys that we may be thinking

666
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: about partying ways with I got a couple of guys

667
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: that maybe it's time to sort of buy in on. UM.

668
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: One is Elijah More with the Jets, And we talked

669
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: about Michael Carter earlier, but Elijah More is on just

670
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: twelve percent of rosters. He's had twelve targets in his

671
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: last two games combined. Uh, He's had consecutive games with

672
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: double digit Fantasy points. Now, the quarterback situation is still

673
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: going to change there with Zack Wilson even coming back,

674
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: but um, how do we feel about, you know, maybe

675
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: having Elijah More, if not as a weekly starter, but

676
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: at least as a stash that you can play matchups with. Yeah,

677
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: I would be looking to add this guy right now

678
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: if he's still out there on the waiver wire, like

679
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: I would drop Adel Beck of jor for him, I think,

680
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: which which sounds wild, but I know the passing volume

681
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been awesome, but it has been increasing as of late.

682
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: He's still the same explosive player that we all fell

683
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: in love with in the preseason and was getting hyped

684
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: up basically every single day in training camp. But the

685
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: Jets offense has been brutal. But Corey Davis has banged

686
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: up right now, and we've already seen the Jets set

687
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: Michael Carter free and really give all the work to

688
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: a rookie. There. I'm thinking, what if they do that

689
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: with this rookie, Maybe they trade Jamison Crowder or something

690
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: like that, or even if they just dial back his

691
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: work to let Elijah More a pick that was almost

692
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: the first round pick, Like they took an early second

693
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: round pick on this guy. I wouldn't be surprised that

694
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: they start giving the rookie more work as the season

695
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: goes on. So I don't think you start him yet,

696
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: but I would add him on my bench and just

697
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: kind of holding there and see watched the next couple

698
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: of weeks see if the usage starts to increase. There

699
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: was a lot of hype about him in training camp

700
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason, and it's taken a while for him

701
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: to sort of get going. But the last couple of

702
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: weeks it's like they're starting to integrate him more into

703
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: the offense, and that that to me is what's encouraging.

704
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Just seeing him sort of trending in the right direction

705
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: has me more excited about him. Uh, A guy that

706
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: I've been excited about all year that I Another one

707
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: of my sort of late round dart throws is Van Jefferson.

708
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: And look, I knew it was going to be inconsistent

709
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: because he's the third wide receiver playing behind Cooper Cup

710
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods in that offense there, but we started

711
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: to see the last couple of weeks he's had double

712
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: digit Fantasy pointed back to back games. He's only only

713
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: rostered in two of NFL dot Com League. He was

714
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: widely available, and on top of it, rumors or not

715
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: even rumors, but just straight up reports that Deshan Jackson

716
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: wants out. Both he and the Rams are sort of

717
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: decided maybe it's best to seek a trade get Jackson

718
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: somewhere else for the rest of the year. That with

719
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: actually opens up more opportunities for Javan Jefferson and and

720
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: this one florial for me. I for the life of me,

721
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why he isn't more uh rostered across

722
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: fantasy football because this feels like sort of an easy

723
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: third wide receiver on a on a good offense to

724
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: go get. Yeah, I would be adding him right now.

725
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the last two games he's thirteen targets combined

726
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: with at least six in each of them. He's been

727
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: getting more time in the slot. He has over a

728
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: seventeen percent target sharing both of those two games, both

729
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: being seasoned highs. His air yards have been up, the

730
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: red zone usage has been up, and we've already heard that.

731
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's not happening for DeShawn Jackson. He wants

732
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: out and Sean McVeigh even himself, was like, yeah, it

733
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out like we thought it would for DeShawn Jackson.

734
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: Why hasn't it worked out? Because Van Jefferson is just

735
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: a better player at this point in their careers, and

736
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: he has stepped up. I agree with you, Marcus, it

737
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: might be a little up and down, but he at

738
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: the very least is a useful wide receiver on your bench,

739
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: so you could plug in for bye weeks or injury

740
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: replacement or something like that. I have had to do

741
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: that multiple times this year, and literally speaking, I've been

742
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: pretty happy with the results. Um. You know, he doesn't

743
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: get a ton of targets, but he gets a lot

744
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: of big chunk plays. Uh and every once in a

745
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: while he may wander into a touchdown too. So um, again,

746
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about depth, dads, and at this point, they

747
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: are trending up, whereas guys like Robinson Beckham are are

748
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: going the other way. So just some things to consider

749
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: when you're looking out on the waiver wire in the

750
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: weeks to come. All right, another break up coming when

751
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: we come back, we will dive into the waiver wire.

752
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: Going to be very important, especially if you have lost

753
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

754
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: Here are some of the waiver wire targets for the week. Floria,

755
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: walk us through your picks here. Yeah, Taysom Hill, we

756
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: were talking about him earlier. He's my top QB ad.

757
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: Then there's Carson Wentz who just gives you over seventeen

758
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: fantasy points each week in a good matchup against the Jets.

759
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is just exciting right now. Teddy Bridgewater, I

760
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: know he's been a little it up and down, but

761
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: he's got a good matchup next week. Then Jimmy Garoppolo

762
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 1: wanted to give him some love after the big game.

763
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: He had Tyrod Taylor looking like he is going to

764
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: return in a favorable matchup against Miami. Definitely in play

765
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: in two quarterback leagues. Carlos Hide and case James Robinson

766
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: can't suit up Boston Scott and Jordan Howard after they

767
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: each scored two touchdowns each. Jordan Howard, I still think

768
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: it's just a deeper league guy. And then mark Ingram

769
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: because he was utilized and good matchup would Taysom Hill.

770
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets more workload there. Uh, And then looking

771
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: at some of the receivers and tight ends that you

772
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: can grab off the waiver wire. Uh, DeVante park Oh,

773
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: Jeremy McNichols is there too. He is a big waiver

774
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: wire target now after Derrick Henry Devantae Parker, he was

775
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: dropped in a bunch of leagues, came back yesterday. He

776
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: saw Levin targets as a good matchup next week. Cole Beasley.

777
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: He's been up and down, but getting good volume as

778
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: of late. Elijah More we discussed Nico Collins has been

779
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: utilized as the wide receiver two there, and with Tyrod

780
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: Taylor returning, I'm a little excited it about him. Brandon

781
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: and a Yuk Marcus yesterday saw his season high end targets,

782
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: so I'm not quite ready to fully give up on him.

783
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew getting consistent volume as the slot receiver there

784
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville Taj Sharp. We discussed then Pat friar Muth

785
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: and Dan Arnold two tight ends that had a little

786
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: boost in volume. So if you're a little bit desperate

787
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: at tight end, and who isn't, I think those are

788
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: two names for you. There all right, some good options

789
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: for you to check out. You can always see the

790
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: full list by the way Florida writes the column every

791
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: week nfl dot com slash Waiver Wire, so you can

792
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: get that in some little in depth analysis as well. Uh.

793
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: Boston Scott obviously had the big day on Sunday for

794
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Next week it is the Chargers. Does that

795
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: make him a must start for fantasy managers? I'm not

796
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: sure if he's a must start, but I definitely think

797
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: he You likely have to start him depending on your

798
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: other options. The Chargers give up a lot of fantasy

799
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: points against the run Boston Scott. What I like Marcus

800
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: was early in the game. They did sprinkle in Jordan

801
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: Howard in short yarded situations, but he was getting the

802
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: bulk of the work. He had the only RB target,

803
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: he had the two touchdowns there. So I definitely think

804
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: he is the Eagles running back that you trust most.

805
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm anticipating ranking him as an RB two, which doesn't

806
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: mean must start, but it means more than likely you

807
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: do have to start him. I do think he's gonna

808
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: be started in a lot of leagues, if not for

809
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: just people kind of chasing the points, but the opportunity

810
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 1: is gonna be there. And uh, we know he's gonna

811
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: catch the football more than Jordan Howard probably will, so

812
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: there's some upside there for that too. So yeah, I'm

813
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He's not a must start, but he's

814
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: gonna get some serious consideration, uh, in a lot of leagues.

815
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: Mike White had the huge game for the Jets as

816
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: they surprised the Bengals and get a win there. Next

817
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: up they have the Colts next week. Um, look, maybe

818
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: you start him in single quarterback leagues. I feel like

819
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 1: this conversation those more for two QB leagues super flex

820
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: would you would you throw him in the lineup next week?

821
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: Maybe even in Daylyassi daily with fantasy would you throw

822
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: him in the lineup? Uh? Definitely not in one quarterback,

823
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: even in two I would be a little bit hesitant.

824
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: I know he played well yesterday through for the second

825
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: most yards ever in the quarterbacks first start, but I'm

826
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: still hesitant to trust him. I mean, this is still

827
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: the Jets. This is still a guy that has two

828
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago we didn't really know his name. So I

829
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: think unless you are desk like, I would rather have

830
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor over him. So to me, even in two

831
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues, I think he is a little bit of

832
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: a more desperate play. He could prove me wrong and

833
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: and maybe he is what the Jets thought Zack Wilson

834
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: would be, but one outing is not enough for me

835
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: to to completely change everything on on him and the Jets.

836
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: It also feels like, you know, he kind of took

837
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals by surprise and didn't have a lot of

838
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: time to maybe dig in on my quite tape, and

839
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of why we we got what we got.

840
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I probably stay away last

841
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: one real quick. Pat friar Muth, who I've liked as

842
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 1: a sleeper, and he's you know, he's had some moments

843
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: where he's flashed. Is he trustworthy as a starter And

844
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: maybe it's just because tight end is bad, but but

845
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: do you trust him? Yeah? I think he's on that

846
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: borderline like he'll be like a top fifteen tight end

847
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: so to in your other options, especially if Eric Ebron

848
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: is out again or potentially even Delta. He's He's been

849
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: mentioned in some trade whispers, but the rookie's got some juice.

850
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: He's a good red zone weapon. I am excited. I

851
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: would definitely be picking him up this week, and uh,

852
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: I think he is a start candidate this week. I

853
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: think he's a start candidate this week. But I think

854
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: if nothing else, he's definitely worth just picking up and

855
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: stashing and holding and playing when the matchups are right.

856
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: So I like him. You know, we know rookie tight

857
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: ends a little bit slower, not named Kyle Pitts, but

858
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: there's there's definitely some upside there, all right. So that

859
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: gets us to our top waiver wire target four week nine.

860
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: Heading into week nine, who would it be for you?

861
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: It's changed like six times for me already, but as

862
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: of this recording, it is Jeremy McNichols. Because I think

863
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: even if the Titans swing a trade or they bring

864
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: in a veteran, uh, it's going to take that running

865
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: back a little time to get up to speed. So

866
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: I think McNichols will have a large role at least

867
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, especially as like the

868
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: third down two minute back the past catching specialists. We've

869
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: seen him have a game this year where he had

870
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: twelve targets. He's had three or a couple of games

871
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: with three or four targets. So they like him in

872
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: that role. And that was even with them throwing more

873
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry. So I think mc nichols, regardless of

874
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: what they do to bring in another back the next

875
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, is in play just because of the

876
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: past game usage. So he would be my top AD

877
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: as of now, especially if I'm trying to replace Derrick Henry.

878
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say Boston Scott

879
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: just because I think his role is going to get

880
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: bigger at least why Miles Sanders is away. I do

881
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: worry about what the Titans are gonna do in terms

882
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: of a trade. I still think me Nichols is worth

883
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: an AD, but I just like Boston Scott, I think

884
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I would also maybe tinge it

885
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: with a little bit of mark Ingram too, especially if

886
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: if Taysom Hill is going to be the guy going forward,

887
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: maybe that opens up some things from mark ingram in

888
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: that backfield. But but either way, a lot of folks

889
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: are gonna need running back help in the very near future,

890
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a lot of names out there

891
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: available in play when you go make your waiver claims

892
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: coming up this week, all right, as we wrap things up,

893
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: let's look at the Monday night football game. But between

894
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Chiefs, let's just start simple. Daniel

895
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: Jones put the over under at twenty one fantasy points

896
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: for Danny Dimes. Which way are you going on that?

897
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: I'm going over cautiously because I know he could disappoint,

898
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones has played well for the most part

899
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: this season. The Chiefs give up the second most fantasy

900
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks and the most points per game in

901
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: the legal least entering the week, and Daniel Jones adds

902
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: points with his legs. So with him having it looks

903
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: like Shepard and Tony back. I'm saying over, and if

904
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: you have Daniel Jones out there, I think he could

905
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: have a good game for you. That's good. Because I

906
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: have Daniel Jones out there, so I need him to

907
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: have a good game for me. I'm gonna go over

908
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: as well, not just because I need Daniel Jones to

909
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: have a good game, but really, for the most part,

910
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: he has limited the turnovers. I know he had the

911
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: three interception game a couple of weeks ago against the Rams,

912
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: but the fumbles are down, the interceptions are down, the

913
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: production is up, and that Chief's defense We've been picking

914
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: on it all year. So I'm gonna say, over there, Uh,

915
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: let's go to Davante Booker. Over under sixteen Fantasy points

916
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: for him? Which way you lean there, I'm gonna go under.

917
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: Their teams tend to play more aggressive against the Chiefs,

918
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: knowing that to put up points to keep up with

919
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: my homes. So I think this will be a game

920
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: where Daniel Jones throws a lot. Maybe they he runs

921
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: some good amount. I could see Booker getting like double

922
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points, but less than sixteen. Yeah, I with you,

923
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think the Giants are gonna be

924
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: able to run the ball a lot, mostly because the

925
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: game script. I think that that's going to prevent them

926
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: from running the ball as much as they want. So

927
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting huge things from Devonte Booker. Maybe if

928
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: he gets involved in the passing game. But I don't

929
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: know that I see that coming in a really big way.

930
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm doing the under on that one, all right.

931
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: Last one, Pick a Chiefs pass catcher you would want

932
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: not named Travis Kelsey or Tyreek Hill. Um is none

933
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: an option I would go with with none, But if

934
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I had to start one, it would be Nicole Hardman.

935
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: He he gets like five safe targets each week. We

936
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: know they'll take some deep shots with him, but realistically

937
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: he's just a deep lea guy. Uh. In this offense,

938
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes, Williams, Kelsey Hill and that's really it. Yeah,

939
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Nicole Harmen is the guy that I picked

940
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: just because he's the third on the team and targets,

941
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: so he's sort of the I guess, the third pass catcher,

942
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: the number two wide receiver if you will. But it

943
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: is such a concentrated offense that it's really hard to

944
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: to lean into um. But ye know, like I said,

945
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, if I were putting

946
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: together a daily lineup just for this game, I would

947
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: probably throw me Cole Hardman in it, just because you know,

948
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: maybe he pops one big one and that's it. Uh h,

949
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: Gordon game Now, No, we just guaranteed it all right. Um,

950
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the uniform matchup though. I think

951
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: the blue of the Giants and the red of the

952
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs or the white whatever, I think it's gonna be

953
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: at least at least that part of it will be fun,

954
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 1: even if the Giants are sometimes hard on the eyes.

955
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: So uh, there we go. We'll keep an eye on

956
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: that in the meantime. That is it. We are done.

957
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football
