Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, September thirtieth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we're starting ourselves.
Speaker 2: At tight end.
Speaker 1: This week, it's Being Your Man n MG Marcus grand
Speaker 1: Joy by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones Florio. You are,
Speaker 1: I know, somewhat distracted full behind the curtain as we
Speaker 1: are recording this show. The New York Mets are playing
Speaker 1: for their playoff lives. How are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 3: Cautiously optimistic because they got two chances to get into tonight.
Speaker 3: So if they don't win the first game, the hope
Speaker 3: is that the Braves sit everyone. But if it comes
Speaker 3: down to game two, I'm going to be a nervous wreck.
Speaker 1: Oh well, good to know that at least the Bills
Speaker 1: kind of they got their thing out of the way,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about that anymore. Now
Speaker 1: he just get to stressed out about them them for
Speaker 1: you men. Yeah, good luck. I'll say this as a
Speaker 1: Dodger fan, I would be fine to the d Backs
Speaker 1: not being in the playoffs. Anyway, We're gonna look at
Speaker 1: some fantasy football things because that's what this show is about.
Speaker 1: We'll have our biggest takeaways from week four, plus some
Speaker 1: guys would like to have a do over on and
Speaker 1: we will get into the waiver wire because everybody needs
Speaker 1: the waiver wire for sure. But let's start, as we
Speaker 1: always do, with some fantasy headlines, and to start with
Speaker 1: a big one in Kansas City, Whereshi Rice is fears
Speaker 1: that have torn his acl that happened on Sunday during
Speaker 1: Kansas City's win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 2: Lakwan.
Speaker 1: It's a simple question at this point, what are we
Speaker 1: doing with the Chiefs offense? Rice is out, Marquis Brown
Speaker 1: is out for the year, Isaiah Pacheco is out for
Speaker 1: a really long time.
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
Speaker 4: Wow? I mean, this is a huge loss for this offense.
Speaker 4: Man Like, you gotta look at the vailable options. It's
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey and Xavier Worthy right now, and like, you know,
Speaker 4: Travis Kelsey's been going through his thing, so can we
Speaker 4: trust him now? Because he showed some signs of life,
Speaker 4: you know last game, which is great. You know, that's
Speaker 4: a great thing for him to step up, and you
Speaker 4: know in the time that Rashid Rice is out. But man,
Speaker 4: like you're looking at the rest of these guys like
Speaker 4: they need to step up because Sheid Rice had twenty
Speaker 4: three catches in three games, and like no other player
Speaker 4: right now, no other wide receiver right now in that room,
Speaker 4: has over nine catches. So you're hoping for somebody like
Speaker 4: Xavier Worthy being able to step up in a huge
Speaker 4: way in the coming weeks, because man, they're barely winning
Speaker 4: these games.
Speaker 1: Flora, I know we're gonna talk about Patrick Mahomes a
Speaker 1: little bit later, but as you start to dive into
Speaker 1: that depth chart, I mean, Noah Gray, justin Watson Nikes,
Speaker 1: I mean anybody there that jumps out to you, you know,
Speaker 1: besides maybe Xavier Worthy that could be helpful for fantasy managers.
Speaker 3: Noah Gray kind of has my attention a little bit
Speaker 3: because the bar for tight ends is so low, and
Speaker 3: the thing is, Xavier Worthy is awesome in a lot
Speaker 3: of ways. Right Speedy can stretch the field. That is
Speaker 3: why they brought him in here. They did not bring
Speaker 3: him in here to be a wide receiver one in
Speaker 3: week five of his rookie season, and I think he
Speaker 3: can get to that point where he can be similar
Speaker 3: to like Rashid Rice, who underwent a lot of changes
Speaker 3: in the way they used him as a rookie, but
Speaker 3: they're not going to start using him like that in
Speaker 3: week five, so they're gonna need to find possession chain
Speaker 3: mover types and Gray could settle in there, but it's
Speaker 3: going to be the Travis Kelcey show. In my opinion,
Speaker 3: I think I wasn't willing to say he was cooked
Speaker 3: after the first three weeks. What I think more than
Speaker 3: anything is the Chiefs don't really care about looking their
Speaker 3: best in September. I think they want to have everyone
Speaker 3: healthy come January, and clearly that's not happening. But I
Speaker 3: think they were kind of trying to take a little
Speaker 3: off the plate of Travis kelce by design. We saw
Speaker 3: the exact opposite yesterday. The passing game ran through Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3: He had double, more than double the targets of anyone
Speaker 3: else on this team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I felt like we were going to see
Speaker 1: a lot of Travis Kelcey yesterday, simply because that had
Speaker 1: been the narrative about this team for the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks is why isn't Travis Kelcey involved? So this
Speaker 1: it always felt like this was going to be sort
Speaker 1: of not really a squeaky wheel game because Kelsey's not
Speaker 1: the one complaining but mostly just sort of the chiefs understanding, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta get him involved.
Speaker 2: It's get him with targets.
Speaker 1: Now, all of a sudden, it looks like it's going
Speaker 1: to be a necessity to get him involved. Like I say,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Patrick Mahomes a little bit later on
Speaker 1: in the show, but right now, an offense that we
Speaker 1: have big expectations for. Now you're looking around and it's
Speaker 1: starting to get really thin in that Kansas City offense
Speaker 1: when it comes to fantasy. This year over in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, very similar story, leaves a game early with
Speaker 1: an injury. This time it is a hip injury. Now
Speaker 1: he's sort of optimistic that he will miss with little
Speaker 1: to no time.
Speaker 2: We'll see about that.
Speaker 1: As of Monday morning, we don't really know a whole
Speaker 1: lot about it. But Florielle, stick with you here. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do we do? How do we navigate the Colts
Speaker 1: offense bec flack? Though the wide receivers are great with
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, we might be starting the quarterback, but the
Speaker 1: receivers are sort of not great.
Speaker 2: How are we what are we looking at here.
Speaker 3: It's exactly what you just said, Marcus. With Anthony Richardson
Speaker 3: out yesterday, Michael Pittman and Josh Downs had huge games
Speaker 3: and by far their best games of the season, especially
Speaker 3: for Michael Pittman. But we know that when Anthony Richardson
Speaker 3: is healthy, he is going to start, and I look,
Speaker 3: a lot could change in a week in the NFL.
Speaker 3: But he was out there yesterday jogging on the sideline
Speaker 3: trying to convince the coaches to let him back in,
Speaker 3: and they even said, like we had a two touchdown lead,
Speaker 3: it felt like a game that we didn't need to
Speaker 3: risk our franchise quarterback in. I think we probably see
Speaker 3: Richardson sooner than later, and that is a bad thing
Speaker 3: for the receivers because Anthony Richardson is struggling with his accuracy,
Speaker 3: but where he specializes in is throwing it deep, which
Speaker 3: is why I continue to be like Alec Pierce is
Speaker 3: a high upside sleeper any week that Anthony Richardson starts
Speaker 3: the ones. Saving Grace though, is more than half of
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman Junior's yards came on two long catches from
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, so maybe there's something there that they continue
Speaker 3: just to build off of moving forward.
Speaker 1: And then it was all the highs and lows of Richardson,
Speaker 1: even on that first drive right like the first pass
Speaker 1: he threw, just ripped a dart right to Pittman.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, this is great.
Speaker 1: Then a couple of plays later has a wide open
Speaker 1: out and just sails it over his head.
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was the good and bad all.
Speaker 1: Within a handful of plays for Richardson. But we'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on his status see if he's able to go,
Speaker 1: because that will impact how you're feeling about the pass
Speaker 1: catchers there in Indianapolis. Let's take a look at some
Speaker 1: of the week's top scorers for Week four. Obviously Monday
Speaker 1: night football too, Monday night football games still to be
Speaker 1: played justin fields. Three hundred and twelve passing yards a
Speaker 1: passing touchdown, also fifty five yards on the ground, and
Speaker 1: a pair of rushing scores nearly thirty two points for him.
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry got it going on the first play that
Speaker 1: he touched the football when eighty something yards for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: finished with two total touchdowns, one hundred and ninety nine
Speaker 1: rushing yards almost thirty six points. For El Tractorcito. Nico
Speaker 1: Collins continues to prove he's the wide receiver one in Houston.
Speaker 1: Twelve catches a buck fifty one in a touchdown that
Speaker 1: was good for thirty three point one points. Tucker Kraft
Speaker 1: six catches fifty three yards and a touchdown seventeen point
Speaker 1: three points, which makes him an absolute tight end stud nowadays.
Speaker 1: Young way Ku four made field goals, two pats eighteen points.
Speaker 1: The Falcons win despite not scoring an offensive touchdown. That's wild.
Speaker 1: Fort Nindard defense had themselves to day against the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Six sacks, three takeaways and a pick six from Fred
Speaker 1: Warner twenty two points for the Niners defense. So we'll
Speaker 1: take a look now at our own fantasy heroes and Lakwan. Look,
Speaker 1: we thought Justin Fields could make an impact. I don't
Speaker 1: think we expected it to be happening in week four
Speaker 1: of the season, but this.
Speaker 2: Is where we are.
Speaker 4: No, he is my fantasy hero man. He gave my
Speaker 4: team a huge spark because man, I was on the
Speaker 4: fence of like, I don't know man Justin Fields this season.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's going to be the guy,
Speaker 4: but he showed up and showed out in this game,
Speaker 4: and I feel like, you know, him throwing three hundred yards,
Speaker 4: this is rare. This is only his second time in
Speaker 4: his career he has done this, and then him throw
Speaker 4: up three touchdowns. And what's even better, he's looking great
Speaker 4: with George Pickens because like he almost had one hundred
Speaker 4: passer rating last game targeting George Pickens, and he's putting
Speaker 4: this ball exactly where it needs to be. Because we
Speaker 4: know George Pickens, He's not a great separator. He's not
Speaker 4: a guy that's going to get far off from the defenders.
Speaker 4: But where Justin Field is putting this ball at and
Speaker 4: his catch rate is he's able to come down and
Speaker 4: make the big plays. So Justin Field is balling out
Speaker 4: right now. And my fantasy rosters are happy that I
Speaker 4: got him this summer late in those drafts.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know a lot of folks drafted
Speaker 1: him late. Again, we thought Russ was going to get
Speaker 1: the start early on, but it appears right now Russ
Speaker 1: not getting that job back.
Speaker 2: He's not cooking soon looking, So he's not cooking.
Speaker 1: Florio your fantasy hero guy that I put him to
Speaker 1: the top of the list of players we take for granted,
Speaker 1: but maybe this is a chance to not take him
Speaker 1: for granted and appreciate what he does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm appreciating Mike Evans because I know a lot
Speaker 3: of people out there were getting concerned with Mike Evans.
Speaker 3: In fact, I even had people tweeting me this week
Speaker 3: like should I sit Mike Evans? This is the Chris
Speaker 3: Godwin Show, stuff like that, And then Big Mike comes
Speaker 3: out and reminds everyone like, look, I am still a
Speaker 3: wide receiver. One. He had one less target yesterday than
Speaker 3: he had in the first three weeks combined, went for
Speaker 3: eight catches, ninety four yards and a touchdown. And what
Speaker 3: I love. Chris Godwin also ate in this game, and
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield is putting up big numbers. The Bucks offense
Speaker 3: looks like, especially through the air, looks like one that
Speaker 3: could potentially, like I know, we're only in the first
Speaker 3: month of the season, but it could win leagues for
Speaker 3: people this year because they are just playing at that
Speaker 3: high of a level right now. So must start, Mike,
Speaker 3: must start, Chris, must start Mayfield, I would say as well,
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Liam Cohen has done wonders with that offense.
Speaker 1: I mean they were good last year. He's kept it
Speaker 1: cooking right along through the first month of the season
Speaker 1: this year. For me, this is sort of a heads up,
Speaker 1: a shout out as well as sort of look an
Speaker 1: admission that I sort of missed. I was telling folks
Speaker 1: to kind of stay away from Jordan Love this week.
Speaker 1: He was coming back. He hadn't practiced coming back off
Speaker 1: that injury, looked like he was going to be less
Speaker 1: than one hundred percent and was going against that Vikings
Speaker 1: defense that has given everybody fits jokes on me. Jordan
Speaker 1: Love was great yesterday during Day nine passing yards did
Speaker 1: have the three picks, so it was kind of a
Speaker 1: rough start, but he kind of got rolling in the
Speaker 1: second half of that game.
Speaker 2: Made it really interesting.
Speaker 1: Green Bay almost coming back to win their twenty eight
Speaker 1: fantasy points from him. And it's another reminder though, by
Speaker 1: the way, that now that he's back, the Packer wide
Speaker 1: receivers are back in play again.
Speaker 2: We already knew about Jaden.
Speaker 1: Reid, but you know, Christian Watson before he got injured,
Speaker 1: was making plays. Dontavian Wick stepped in. I made some
Speaker 1: plays late in that ballgame as well, So now it
Speaker 1: looks like the Packer offense is once again fully functional
Speaker 1: and if he was able to do it at less
Speaker 1: than one hundred percent against the Vikings, you can feel
Speaker 1: really good about having him in your lineup pretty much
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year going forward. All Right,
Speaker 1: those are the guys that did well for us. Now
Speaker 1: some things that maybe leave us a little bit frustrated.
Speaker 1: It's our big takeaways from week four And Lakwan, what
Speaker 1: did you learn from this past weekend?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, it might be over for Rashod White man, because
Speaker 4: Bucky Irvin is playing good football as well, and if
Speaker 4: this continues on, it's gonna look like a Bucky Irvin show.
Speaker 4: I mean back to back weeks he's outscored Forshod Way
Speaker 4: and it doesn't help that, you know, he's actually going
Speaker 4: out there and putting up these points when it matters.
Speaker 4: He's being effishent out there man, and both reality though
Speaker 4: for this is that once both of these running backs
Speaker 4: for out their roles, it's gonna be trouble. If Bucky
Speaker 4: Irvin finds his way into the red zone. He only
Speaker 4: has one snap inside the twenties, So Rashad white his
Speaker 4: job is looking a little if he here, because I
Speaker 4: feel like Bucky Irvin is looking like the guy over
Speaker 4: there in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got more touches than I thought he was
Speaker 1: gonna get, and he got high value touches too, down
Speaker 1: the most touches.
Speaker 3: He's had this season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of crazy, Like it's starting to look
Speaker 4: like the pictures starting to form itself where this might
Speaker 4: be the Bucky Irvin Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought is gonna be more of an even split
Speaker 1: where neither guy was gonna be very satisfying, But maybe
Speaker 1: it's not. At this point, Florida, we talked about the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and what their offense is gonna look like now
Speaker 1: that Rashi Rice looks like he's out for the year,
Speaker 1: And the big question is what are we doing about
Speaker 1: the quarterback because Floyo he wasn't really playing all that
Speaker 1: great to begin with.
Speaker 3: He hasn't played good fantasy wise in over a year. Like, look,
Speaker 3: we need to I think the narrative around the Chiefs
Speaker 3: needs to change. As a conversation for another time, it
Speaker 3: is the defense that is carrying them this offense. They
Speaker 3: can make the big timely play, but they are not
Speaker 3: a good offense, or at least not one of the
Speaker 3: higher powered offenses. And when it comes to fantasy, Mahomes
Speaker 3: is just a guy. He might be your goat in
Speaker 3: real life, but in fantasy I named this past week,
Speaker 3: I said I would play Sam Darnold, Justin Fields, Gino Smith,
Speaker 3: and a couple other quarterbacks over him, and they all
Speaker 3: nearly doubled what Patrick Mahomes gave you. He has scored
Speaker 3: seventeen Fantasy points one time in his last thirteen games.
Speaker 3: Since the start of last season, he has top twenty
Speaker 3: six Fantasy points once. That means in any given week,
Speaker 3: the floor is less than seventeen, the average outcome is
Speaker 3: less than seventeen, and if he hits and has a
Speaker 3: big game, he is giving you an average Jaden Daniels
Speaker 3: game right now. So I don't see any way you
Speaker 3: just continue to start him as a muss start quarterback
Speaker 3: or something like that. Yes, I know you drafted him
Speaker 3: to be that player, but you can get guys Sam Darnold,
Speaker 3: Justin Fields, Gino Smith, There's other names as well that
Speaker 3: I would feel better about starting. Maybe you play the
Speaker 3: matchups week to week or something like that, but Mahomes
Speaker 3: is no longer a mus start option. In fact, I
Speaker 3: would be trying to get away from him as much
Speaker 3: as I can especially now without Rashid Rice and Marquise
Speaker 3: Brown there. I think they are going to run the
Speaker 3: ball a lot. They are going to short yard and
Speaker 3: yack you to death to control the clock and rely
Speaker 3: on their defense and win ugly. They are the best
Speaker 3: at doing that, but it is terrible for fantasy football purpose.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me if they could drop Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, maybe not out. Yeah, look in eighteen leagues,
Speaker 1: maybe ten team leagues, you can look at dropping him,
Speaker 1: but you're not just automatically plugging him into your lineup
Speaker 1: and just letting it alone like that's you.
Speaker 4: Got to think about it now. It feels weird because
Speaker 4: he's a big name, but I got to think about
Speaker 4: it now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at the production, not the name on the
Speaker 2: back of the jersey.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Speaking makes me sad.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I'm I'm ready to wave the white flag.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to admit defeat about Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 2: I am. You know.
Speaker 1: We have been the Kyle pitch Show of record. We
Speaker 1: have believed in him, We've tried to keep the faith.
Speaker 1: Everything is trending the wrong direction. Saw a tweet earlier
Speaker 1: on Monday from Scott Barrett. There's a lot of great work.
Speaker 1: Notice the route share and it's going down every week
Speaker 1: from seventy nine percent to seventy one to sixty five
Speaker 1: to fifty eight percent on Sunday. He's not out in routes.
Speaker 1: He's mostly a blocking tight end. He's not getting targets.
Speaker 1: Did not have a single catch last week. When he
Speaker 1: has caught the ball, it's very short, it's underneath. They
Speaker 1: are not getting him those opportunities.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We were frustrated with Arthur Smith because they were going
Speaker 1: weird places with the ball, but they were using Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts as a downfield threat and just not throwing him
Speaker 1: the ball. Now they're not throwing him the ball and
Speaker 1: they're not also getting him downfield. At some point we
Speaker 1: just sort of have to face facts. Right before, it
Speaker 1: was the quarterback and it was the coach. Well, now
Speaker 1: they have a new coach, they have a new quarterback.
Speaker 1: They're still not getting him the ball. At some point
Speaker 1: we just got to understand that maybe this is what
Speaker 1: it is for Kyle Pitts In a year where tight
Speaker 1: end generally has been disappointing, Kyle Pitts very much in
Speaker 1: that group, I think I'm not out out, but I'm
Speaker 1: close to out. I got one foot on the platform.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm wondering if he's hurt though, Like, is he
Speaker 4: playing through him?
Speaker 2: You're supposed to be healthy this year.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: This is what we're told.
Speaker 3: I bet at this point near sixty percent of his
Speaker 3: fantasy points this year have come on two plays. We
Speaker 3: are four games into the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I exchange my ticket? Can I get a
Speaker 2: refund from the con man? If we all want to
Speaker 2: ref this isn't what I bought?
Speaker 1: All right, take a break, collect our thoughts, try to
Speaker 1: get into better heeadspace, come back talk, some waiver wires stuff,
Speaker 1: and some guys want to do over on if we
Speaker 1: had a second shot, what would we do? That's coming
Speaker 1: up next here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's
Speaker 1: take a look at this week's waiver wire options. Florio
Speaker 1: who should we be looking at this week?
Speaker 3: A lot of quarterbacks justin Fields, Gino Smith, Sam Darnold
Speaker 3: all should be picked up, and then Deshaun Watson because
Speaker 3: he gets the Commanders next week. Bucky Irving looks like
Speaker 3: a must pick up, so does Braylen Allen Rico dal
Speaker 3: starting to get more work there for the Cowboys, Chase
Speaker 3: Brown getting more work, and then Tank Bigsby and Rosehawan
Speaker 3: Johnson a couple of RB twos that have been playing
Speaker 3: well and getting a little bit more work there for themselves.
Speaker 3: The biggest pickup of the week in my opinion, is
Speaker 3: Dontavian Wicks for the Green Bay Packers, but there's also
Speaker 3: Xavier Lagett, Romeo Dobbs I like a lot too with
Speaker 3: Christian Watson's sideline, Josh Downs. Jordan Winnington led the Rams
Speaker 3: in routes for much of the game yesterday. Wandel Robinson,
Speaker 3: you two have been on this one, but he is
Speaker 3: just a target vacuum right now. Mike Williams slowly coming
Speaker 3: along but got more play yesterday. Tucker Kraft outperformed Luke
Speaker 3: Musgrave and looks like the tight end one right now
Speaker 3: in Green Bay. Kate Awten has at least eight targets
Speaker 3: and two straight. And then Zach Ertz. He might not
Speaker 3: get a bunch of volume, but when he's got the
Speaker 3: most accurate quarterback in the world, he is turning his
Speaker 3: targets into catches at a pretty high rate.
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive in a couple of these guys individually. Lawan,
Speaker 1: Let's start with Chase Brown because the first few weeks
Speaker 1: it just seemed like the Zach Moss show there in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: But Week four seemed like maybe things are starting to turn.
Speaker 1: Maybe we're gonna see more Chase Brown going forward.
Speaker 4: I hope we do, man, because he looked great with
Speaker 4: his opportunities. He was looking like the RB one. This
Speaker 4: was the hype that we were talking about over the
Speaker 4: summer of like how explosive he is and how he
Speaker 4: could be involved in the passing game and be such
Speaker 4: a huge threat to this rushing attack.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: I hope for the following weeks we get more of
Speaker 4: Chase Brown because just look at him, man, He's getting
Speaker 4: it done in the red zone. He's getting it done
Speaker 4: in striking distance. This is where most of the points
Speaker 4: are gonna come from this Bengals offense when they get
Speaker 4: in the red zone, because they don't have Joe Mixon anymore,
Speaker 4: so they need somebody to be able to step up.
Speaker 4: I know Zach mal snuck one in the other last game,
Speaker 4: but Chase Brown, man, he just looks more explosive in
Speaker 4: between the tackles and rushing outside so man, I'm looking
Speaker 4: forward to them going against the Baltimore Ravens next week.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I look, I was on the Chase Brown tray in
Speaker 1: the first few weeks, had not been very kind in
Speaker 1: terms of his usage and that sort of thing. Now
Speaker 1: the question becomes, Okay, is this really Chase Brown getting
Speaker 1: more opportunity or is this because they're playing the Panthers.
Speaker 1: We'll find out, I think in the weeks to come.
Speaker 1: I because I'm trying to, you know, confirm my priors White,
Speaker 1: I believe this is more about Chase Brown getting some
Speaker 1: other opportunities there. Speaking of the Panthers, Florio Jadaavier Legett
Speaker 1: and Adam feeling on ir for at least the next
Speaker 1: few weeks. So maybe this is legetz opportunity to grab
Speaker 1: a bigger slice of the pie there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he got the opportunity and made the most
Speaker 3: of it. Ten targets, six grabs, sixty six yards and
Speaker 3: a touchdown. It was really the him and Deontay Johnson
Speaker 3: show yesterday. And I know people might be like, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: it was a game where Andy Dallon had to throw
Speaker 3: forty times. They were playing forty times, they were playing
Speaker 3: in ketchup mode. They're going to be playing in ketchup
Speaker 3: mode more often than not, but the volume is too
Speaker 3: good to get away from. So outside of Wicks, he
Speaker 3: is my favorite wide receiver to target up because long
Speaker 3: term there's a lot of upside there. He's only this
Speaker 3: was his fourth NFL game, Like he could just continue
Speaker 3: to get better and better as the season goes on.
Speaker 3: So definitely someone I want to take some shots on
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, having Andy Dalton there has meant a whole lot
Speaker 1: to this PAS there in Carolina. So maybe, look, get
Speaker 1: could be the guy who sort of benefits from some
Speaker 1: of that with his extra opportunities. Let's talk now that
Speaker 1: we are pretty much four weeks into the season. We're
Speaker 1: a month and we have seen a lot of things.
Speaker 1: We have a good sense of trends, guys who want
Speaker 1: to do over on. Maybe we whiffed. We drafted too
Speaker 1: much of them, We didn't draft enough of them. Lakwan
Speaker 1: if you had another shot at this, what would you
Speaker 1: be doing here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I want more Alvin Kamara. I mean, can we go
Speaker 4: back about two months when all my drafts were happening,
Speaker 4: because man, he has basically put all the hate to bed.
Speaker 4: He put the haters in doubters to just absolute down
Speaker 4: with any of the type of questions about his efficiency. Man,
Speaker 4: he is getting it done on the ground. He averaged
Speaker 4: less than four yards per carry last season. That's kind
Speaker 4: of where the hate came from of questioning this Saints offense.
Speaker 4: And now he is the RB one. He's averaging twenty
Speaker 4: six Fantasy points per game. I don't think anybody really understood,
Speaker 4: you know, what the Saints offense was going to do
Speaker 4: coming out how they came out this season. So honestly,
Speaker 4: I need more Album Kamara because I'm looking at some
Speaker 4: of these leagues. Man, they have some powerhouse running back stables.
Speaker 4: I'm talking Jonathan Taylor and then you have it Derek
Speaker 4: Henry and then Alvin Kamara where he was going in drafts.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, man.
Speaker 4: So I wish we could get more Album Kamara on
Speaker 4: our rosters now, but none of my league maker are
Speaker 4: willing to trade me.
Speaker 1: Of course not then I could give him up at
Speaker 1: this point because things are going well.
Speaker 3: Florida.
Speaker 2: What was you like a do over.
Speaker 3: On Jaden Reid? I loved Jaden Reid as a rookie.
Speaker 3: I had him on more teams and the Mets just
Speaker 3: went down to nothing. I had him on more teams
Speaker 3: than most wide receivers last year and it worked out phenomenally.
Speaker 3: And all summer I was like, if I'm going to
Speaker 3: take a shot on any Packers wide receiver, it's going
Speaker 3: to be Jaden Reid. But I thought that the four
Speaker 3: mouths to feed and the narratives that we heard all summer,
Speaker 3: I really let it get to me and I did
Speaker 3: not draft Jayden Reid in a bunch of places. He
Speaker 3: has played two games this year with Jordan Love and
Speaker 3: looks like an absolute elite wide receiver one with him,
Speaker 3: So I wish I had them on more teams. But
Speaker 3: if you have him, as long as Jordan Love is healthy,
Speaker 3: Jayden Reed is a must start fantasy option.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know Matt Laflori doesn't want to
Speaker 1: talk about having a number one receiver.
Speaker 2: We will. Jayden Reid is your number one receiver the end,
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: For me, I was really worried about Tyron Williams and
Speaker 1: for me, the war we actually started before the whole
Speaker 1: punt return thing.
Speaker 2: I know that's been the excuse for a lot of folks.
Speaker 2: They didn't help.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie about that, but I really looked
Speaker 1: at Blake korm as being a guy who's really talented.
Speaker 1: They had a little more draft capital invested in him
Speaker 1: that you know. Look, Sean McVay seemed reluctant to just
Speaker 1: lean on one running back if he could, so I
Speaker 1: didn't draft a whole lot of Kyron Williams, and I'm
Speaker 1: wishing that I had now, because what is it? Telok
Speaker 1: on seven straight games with a touchdown for kyrone. He
Speaker 1: looks fantastic, And especially at a time where the Rams
Speaker 1: are sort of short of playmakers, They're trying to figure
Speaker 1: things out of the passing game, the offensive line is
Speaker 1: having its issues with injuries, Williams continues to produce. He's
Speaker 1: doing everything, whether it's in the running game, whether it's
Speaker 1: in the passing game. He's been fantastic. And I admit
Speaker 1: I was wrong on this one. I thought that it
Speaker 1: was going to be more of a split. We've yet
Speaker 1: to see Blake rum in any way so far this season.
Speaker 1: I had just been the Kien Williams show.
Speaker 2: For real.
Speaker 4: It's okay, it's just your forty nine ers hate just
Speaker 4: speeling out overdo off season.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here we go. That was the thing I didn't love,
Speaker 1: not drafting enough Kien Williams. But that gets us two
Speaker 1: moments that we do love and a moment we loved.
Speaker 1: From this past weekend. Joe Flacco stepped in, played well
Speaker 1: in relief of Anthony Richardson, and afterwards did an interview
Speaker 1: talking about his relationship with Anthony Richardson or whether or
Speaker 1: not you know, maybe A rich thinks he's cool.
Speaker 3: Listen, he told me his mom is eight days older
Speaker 3: than I am, so there's no chance in the world
Speaker 3: that he thinks I'm cool.
Speaker 2: So there is.
Speaker 1: Anthony Richards' mom is only eight days older than Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: which one, I mean speaks to how old Joe flaccoys.
Speaker 1: But also we'll forget how young Anthony Richardson is. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's a baby, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's really just he's just a kid coming
Speaker 2: in here and playing well.
Speaker 1: But Joe Flacco, guys, not only playing great football but
Speaker 1: a great quote. And uh, you know it's a point
Speaker 1: him and Jami's got a starting job just for the quote.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I bet you. Though Richardson and Flacco have
Speaker 3: a ton in common because he, like Richardson, probably grew
Speaker 3: up watching shows and listening to music that his mom liked.
Speaker 3: And that's the same stuff that Joe Flacco likes.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, definitely very true.
Speaker 1: It'd probably be a lot of hey, do you listen
Speaker 1: to this, and like Andrews be like, no, my mom does? Mom?
Speaker 3: I remember when I was a baby. I know the words,
Speaker 3: but yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard in the car and I was in
Speaker 2: the back seat. Try around my mom. Pretty fla was
Speaker 2: cool to me.
Speaker 4: Man, big jersey over there.
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is younger than me, so blur all right,
Speaker 1: but that was a lot of fun. Time for us
Speaker 1: to pack it in for this edition.
Speaker 2: That is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging
Speaker 2: out with you. How fantasy football show? You know the drill?
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and
Speaker 1: remember in real life there's.
Speaker 2: No such thing as algebra.
Speaker 1: Be safe, take care of yourselves, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow.
