1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, November twentieth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man,

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: MG Marcus Grand joined by Michael f Florio. Coming up

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: on the show today, We've got our biggest takeaways from

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 2: week eleven. We're also breaking down some of the top

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: performers of the week. Is Calvin Ridley officially back? Plus

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: we'll talk about some of the biggest letdowns from the weekend. Well,

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: so we are almost through eleven weeks of the NFL season,

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: of the fantasy football season. You gotta be feeling good.

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: The Bills are back. It's official now, right.

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: They are back. I look, it's just one game, but

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: it's been their defense that has given them the hardest

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: time for the last couple of years. And for them

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: to have a game like that, for Allen to look

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: the way that he did, I'm feeling good today. I

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: wore my Bill's shoes for that purse. Speaking of great offenses,

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: you're forty nine ers.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Just keep on rolling. They look good. They've come out

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: of the buy with two really big wins. The offense

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: is clicking again. Some sort of sad news telling no

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Whufunga is out for the rest of the year where

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: they torn ACL, so that's a big loss in the secondary,

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: but otherwise things are on the up and up. Tough

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: stretch though, they got two games against Seahawks sandwiched around

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: a game against the Eagles, so the next few weeks

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: very critical for the forty nine Ers, critical times for

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: everybody across fantasy football as well as we get closer

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. Will have our biggest takeaways from Week eleven,

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: some top performers, fan questions, and as always, Matt o'catta

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: will join us later in the show to talk some

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: waiver wire targets. But let's start, as we always do,

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: with some fantasy headlines. Aaron Jones had to leave the

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Packers game against the Chargers with a knee injury. Now

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: it appears that it might not be super serious. It

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: looks like he did avoid a torn ACL. We'll see

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: the severity of it though in the next couple of days.

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, does that mean it is quad

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: zill season? Are we all in on aj Dillon now?

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: Nope? Like he's had this opportunity already earlier this year

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: in three games without Aaron Jones. He scored seven three

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: and just under fourteen Fantasy poin instead of under fourteen

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: is his high game of the year. And then he

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: had a fourth game where Jones left early and he

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: gave you one point against the Lions. That's who he

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: gets next week. I'm washing my hands clean of aj Dillon.

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: So on Sunday he had fourteen carries for twenty nine yards.

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: He did catch four passes for thirty two yards. You know,

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: I mean, just it was an okay day against a

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: Charger run defense that hasn't really been super great, So

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: maybe not. I'm thinking potentially.

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Follow you yeahs favor that's what he has going.

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: I mean. Emmanuel Wilson also left the game with an injury,

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: so he's the other guy who would be taking opportunities.

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Worth keeping an eye on the health

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: of all these guys. Of course, short week as well

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: for the Packers because they turn around to play on

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day in Detroit against the Lions. That could certainly

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: impact who's available for Green Bay. Basically whether or not

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: you want to start it any of these guys against

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: the Lions defense coming up this week. I'm more running

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: back injury news. Kenneth Walker leaves with it oblique injury.

62
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: Zach Charbeney was already starting to get more work in

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: closing the gap. Not that he was going to surpass

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: him anytime soon. But does this mean it's Sharboney season?

65
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: I think so, And I know we are both fans

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: of Zach Charbonay and have been saying to roster him

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: and stuff. And this is why, Like Kenneth Walker was

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: declared doubtful almost immediately when he left the game, He's

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: also been dealing with the calf issue. So nothing new here.

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: But Sharboney played eighty four percent of the snaps, fifteen carries,

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: He caught all six of his targets. His schedule is very,

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: very hard the next few weeks, like you said, a

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: couple of games against the Niners amongst others. But the

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: volume that if he was the loan back here, I

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: think has him in play as an RB two with

76
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: higher upside.

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I think RB two is maybe

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: his ceiling right there. That he does catch the football

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: certainly is a big help. That was a thing that

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: I liked about him coming out of UCLA. It took

81
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: a while for him to finally get going. But it

82
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: does seem that he did kind of get up to speed,

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: and so now if the opportunity does present itself, a

84
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: lot of volume to be had. But again in the matchup,

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: maybe not great when they got the forty nine ers

86
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: coming up this week. But again, keep tabs on Walker's situation,

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: see how available he might be Cooper Cup. He leaves

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: Cup has been slumping. I mean, let's just be honest,

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: it has not been a really great run with him

91
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: since his first couple of games of the season. We'll

92
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: see how serious this is. We know Puka is going

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: to get targets. Anybody else that you like there beyond

94
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Pooka Nkua, Yeah, I think it goes back to how

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: it was the first month of the season. If Cup

96
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: missed his time, they are saying it's a low ankle

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: and he's going to try to play through it. So

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: if you have him, that's best case scenario, I would say,

99
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: after seeing this and laying on the medical table yesterday.

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: But remember in the first month too too out Well

101
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: was a top twenty wide receiver. Tyler Higbee was a

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: tight end one those guys have been on mill cartons

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: since it's become really the Cup and Pooka pass game show.

104
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: But if Cup is out, I think those two Look,

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you're gonna play two two over your

106
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: studs or anything like that, but he becomes another option for.

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: You at wide receiver.

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's definitely an option, and I think you're right,

109
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 2: it kind of goes back to where it was, although admittedly, look,

110
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with this Rams offense.

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: It has not looked good for several weeks now, and

112
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: you sort of were able to talk it away when

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: it was you know, Brett Rippon at quarterback. But Matthew

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: Stafford is back and they still couldn't move the ball.

115
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: They are still struggling to score points. They hang on

116
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: and win by one after Jason Myers misses a field

117
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: goal late in that ball game, so there are real concerns.

118
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: The good news is Kyron Williams is expected to be

119
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: back next week, so we'll see if maybe that makes

120
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: an impact and gets the offense going again.

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: For as bad ast Cup was yesterday, he did have

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: that long catch where he got like turned around, yeah

123
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: and dropped it. If he catches that touchdown. We're talking

124
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: about Cup a little bit different. Yeah, and you don't

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: see Stafford and Cup miss like that very office. Stafford

126
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: hasn't been the same this year, well at least to

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: me watching him play. Yeah, he doesn't look like the

128
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: same guy.

129
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like a guy who's later in

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: his career, who has been beat up over the course

131
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: of his career. That's kind of what Matt Stafford has

132
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: looked like so far this season. So those are some

133
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: of the big news items from the week. I didn't

134
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: mention Devon Hchan also because he did leave with a

135
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: knee injury. They are hoping he will be ready to

136
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: play this week. It's not a for sure thing. I mean,

137
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 2: obviously Raheem Moster is there. Jeff Wilson was a healthy scratch.

138
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Savon Ackman caught a touchdown, which was very frustrating

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: because I have a lot of Raheem Moster. I think

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: he can start Moster next week. I don't know what

141
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: the Dolphins are gonna do with a Chan, but if

142
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm them, I'm like, do we need him to beat

143
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: the Jets? Can we hold him out and give him

144
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: another week to rest and not play him on a

145
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: short week. That might be what they do. We got

146
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: to just monitor, but that's how I would play.

147
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like Mike McDaniel, has not committed to anything

148
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: just yet too, so we'll see what happen happens as

149
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: we get closer to the game on Friday. All Right,

150
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: we got some of the biggest takeaways from a week eleven,

151
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: the things that we learned from this past week, and

152
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: it seems like we have a new RB one down

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: in Houston right now.

154
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you click on his picture on his name

155
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: on NFL dot Com, he's still wearing a Bills jersey.

156
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: But Devin singletary weekly start, his first time in his

157
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: career with back to back games, is over one hundred

158
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 3: yards and a touchdown, over nineteen Fantasy points in each

159
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: and just the eye test, man, you watch him and

160
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: you're like, this guy is better than what Damian Pierce

161
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: has been all year. So in my opinion, when Damian

162
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Pierce comes back, I think he won't fully go away.

163
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know how they get away from Devin Singletary.

164
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: And with the way that this offense is clicking, even

165
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: with the three interceptions this past week, they scored three touchdowns.

166
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: They were moving the ball a whole bunch. I just

167
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: think Devin Singletary is someone that you could you could

168
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: start as your RB two or flex.

169
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: First time in his career he has had consecutive one

170
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: hundred yard games, and yeah, it seems that it's going

171
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: to be really hard for Damian Pierce to get a

172
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: significant role in this offense when he comes back. He's

173
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: been incredibly inefficient, and now Devin Singletary is showing that

174
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: he can get it done on the ground. Speaking of

175
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: getting it done on the ground, welcome back Justin Fields.

176
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: He comes back with one hundred and four rushing yards,

177
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: throws for a bucks sixty nine and a touchdown in

178
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: what I know a disappointing ending for the Bears. The

179
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: Fields takes that sack fumble, loses the ball and the

180
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: Lions go on to win. But he comes back and

181
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: looks kind of like the Justin Fields we remember. On

182
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: top of that, he gets DJ Moore going again more,

183
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 2: having a touchdown, first touchdown, and his first game with

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: more than fourteen points since back I think the week

185
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: five and when he had that big Thursday night game

186
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 2: against Washington. It was the last time that DJ Moore

187
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: had more than fourteen fantasy points in a game last

188
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: time he scored a touchdown, So Fields looks like he's back.

189
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: I looked at the schedule the rest of the way.

190
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: It's not the easiest schedule, but there are some very

191
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: positive matchups there for him. If you were holding on

192
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: to him and you are still in contention, I think

193
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: with the schedule coming up for Justin Fields, it's very possible.

194
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they got the Vikings next week, which

195
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: you know whatever, the Lions, who he had just had

196
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: a good game against the Browns, definitely not one you

197
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: want to mess with. But the last two games in

198
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: playoff season, the Cardinals and the Falcons, very positive matchups

199
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: for Justin Fields. And this is exactly what we wanted

200
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: to see out of Justin Fields, right. He's running the

201
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: ball a whole bunch still and he's getting it to DJ.

202
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: Like do those two things. Get it to DJ Moore

203
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: and run and we will love you in the fantasy community. Absolutely,

204
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: that's all we want you to do. Look, real football,

205
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: there's still a conversation to be had about Justin Fields

206
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: fantasy football. We know for sure what's happening both in

207
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: fantasy and real football. Though things are not good for

208
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: the rookie wide receiver from TCU playing for the Chargers

209
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: and not Darius Davis.

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: I'll say it's good for one of them.

211
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: For one of them seems to be working out.

212
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: You know, I figured it out. We need to get

213
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: Quinn Johnson on this podcast because Dari Davis came on

214
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: and he's been electric for the Chargers. It's just not

215
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: happening for Quinton Johnson this season. And I will take

216
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: a huge l on this one. I was big on

217
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: him coming into the draft, into the regular season. After

218
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: Williams and Palmer got hurt, I thought it was his time.

219
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: You see that drop there that could have been a

220
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: game winning touchdown. And the thing is, Mike Williams doesn't

221
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: separate like that, no one else in the Chargers because

222
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: this is why they got him, because they need someone

223
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: to win downfield. It doesn't matter when you have no hands.

224
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: The week before, it didn't show in the box score

225
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: because there was a holding penalty or pass interference, but

226
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 3: he dropped another seventy something yard touchdown. Like if your

227
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: hands don't work at wide receiver, it's just not going

228
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: to work. And this was a fantastic matchup. No Alexander Yesterday,

229
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 3: it didn't happen. I don't think it's gonna happen.

230
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: At all this year. It was a concern about Johnson

231
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 2: when they drafted him, but I think the Chargers were

232
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: hoping it would sort of work itself out. You know,

233
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: a very smart man and for the show, Matt Harmon

234
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: once told me that drops don't matter, but at some

235
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: point they do start to matter when they happen in

236
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: key situations and your quarterback starts to lose faith in you.

237
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's where we're headed with Quinton Johnston

238
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: right now. For me, Joe Brady is he good for

239
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: James Cook? Look, I get it, it's only one game,

240
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: right and like, there's not a lot that we can

241
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: definitively say after one game with Joe Brady as the

242
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: interim offensive coordinator. But Cook played the thirty two snaps

243
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: on Sunday. He had opportunities on twenty one of them,

244
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: seventeen carries, four targets. He tied his season high end targets.

245
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: He had what was his second highest Fantasy output of

246
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: the season, and he was getting looks down near the

247
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: goal line. I mean he caught a touchdown pass, but

248
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: a play that they ran from about the five yard line.

249
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: In the past, we were seeing Latavius Murray get a

250
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: lot of those opportunities. And look, Murray's still going to

251
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: get his snaps and his touches. That's never going to change.

252
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: But after one week, and you are the obviously the

253
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: resident Buffalo Bills fan on this show. After one week, though,

254
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: it seems like Joe Brady's looking around and saying, hey, look,

255
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: James Cook is a playmaker. We got to get the

256
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: ball in his hands a little bit more.

257
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And one thing I noticed when I looked at

258
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 3: Joe Brady's tenure with the Panthers was that he likes

259
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: to use one running back. It's easy to be like, oh,

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: it was Christian McCaffrey. No, Christian McCaffrey got hurt early on.

261
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: In both of his years, it was Deontae Foreman, and

262
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: then the second year was Chuba Hubbard. So if he

263
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: could kind of just go with one running back, which

264
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 3: is what he's done in the past, it's to the

265
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: moon for James Cook. Ironically, three running backs were utilized yesterday,

266
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: but James Cook still put up big numbers because they

267
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: used him more effectively than they have been with the

268
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: old OC. But he gets to Eagles next week. I

269
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: don't know if I could start him in now.

270
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see something about that fumble man. It got

271
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: him running hard, So I don't advocate fumbling, but that's

272
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: what it takes to light a fire then and maybe

273
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: put one on the ground and like recover it yourself.

274
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: That's all I gotta say. James Cook had a big

275
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: performance this week. We have some other guys who had

276
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: big performances this week. We're going through top performers and

277
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: some disappointments when we come back on the NFL Fantasy

278
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: Football Show Top performers from Week eleven. Of course, the

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: Monday night game still to be played between the Eagles

280
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: and Chiefs, so this could change dramatically. Who knows, but

281
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Just after we spent all week saying, ah,

282
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: stay away from Trevor Lawrence, he goes out puts up

283
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: thirty two points, pair of rushing touchdowns, a pair of

284
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns as well. Sae Kwon Barkley had himself a

285
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: day to help out Tommy DeVito and the Giants. Eighty

286
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: three rushing yards, fifty seven receiving yards and two touchdowns there.

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 2: That was thirty points. Calvin Ridley, we stayed away from

288
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. We stayed away from Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley

289
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: goes off seven catches for a bucko three and two

290
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: teddies thirty one points there. George Kittle stays hot. I

291
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: just missed my bold prediction. I said he's gonna go

292
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: over one hundred for the third straight week. He missed

293
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: it by eleven yards. He had eighty nine yards and

294
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns, good for twenty two point nine. Jason Myers.

295
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: Actually Will Lutz ends up being the top kicker with

296
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: five field goals made. It was most of what the

297
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: Broncz did and then a light touchdown ends up winning

298
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: it for him. And then the Giants defense taking advantage

299
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: of the Commanders four sacks, three interceptions, three fumble recoveries

300
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: and a touchdown twenty three points there. We'll talk about

301
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: some guys though, who did have some big weeks. Tank

302
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: Dell just keeps it rolling for the Texans. Yeah.

303
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: Tank Dell is someone that I think you just start

304
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: each and every week moving forward. And it's something that

305
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: we've been talking about a lot on the show this

306
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: year that like, there will be ups and downs when

307
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: you have an offense this young, but you just started

308
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: because the highs are so high, the downs aren't even

309
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: hurting them anymore. Three interceptions yesterday for most offenses, that's

310
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: a day wrecord. They were still able to put up

311
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: big numbers because they continue to move the ball with ease.

312
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Tank Dell was the wide receiver one two weeks ago.

313
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: He is currently the wide receiver three in week eleven.

314
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: He's just been automatic. And this was with Nico Collins

315
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: back now as well. So I think Tank Dell is

316
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: a mustard option. I think Nico Collins is in play.

317
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: Noah Brown is in play when he comes back. You

318
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: just want to start your Texan Yeah.

319
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's not what we anticipated, but it's work

320
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: it out, man, Start your Texans because that passing game

321
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: is working well. And now we have the running game too,

322
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: with Devin Singletary starting to get hot. You saw Calvin

323
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: Ridley there on the screen there seven catches, one hundred

324
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: and three yards, two touchdowns, his biggest Fantasy game of

325
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: the season, his first game with multiple touchdowns since twenty twenty.

326
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, and a lot of people have been

327
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: talking about this in the last twelve hours or so.

328
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: Maybe Say Jones is the key to Calvin Ridley having

329
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: big games. In the four games that they have played together,

330
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: Ridley's averaging almost ninety receiving yards per game. Three of

331
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: his four touchdowns have been scored with Jay Jones on

332
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: the field. I believe it's something that he averages about

333
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: nineteen Fantasy points per game with Jones about six without,

334
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: And I think it's just something about having another quality

335
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: receiver playing on the opposite side from him. Will Christian

336
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: Kirk's doing his thing on the slot, but I think

337
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: having Zay Jones on that other side versus say a

338
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: Jamal Agnew or a Tim Jones or somebody like that

339
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: to be opening things up for Calvin Ridley. So maybe

340
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: all we needed was Say Jones to get back on

341
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: the field. Who knew who?

342
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: I would not have thought it. Kudos to you and

343
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: everyone else who's picked up on this trend. It it

344
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: seems to be true as I was. I'll take the

345
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: l for saying this sit the Jags this past week,

346
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: but I've been high on Ridley all year, so I'm

347
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: gonna be hopeful that the second the rest of the

348
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: season could be good.

349
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Interesting. I think everybody was off the Jags this week.

350
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people sitting Calvin Ridley. I

351
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: think he was only started in like thirty percent of

352
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: NFL dot Com League. So I think the people who

353
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: did it either you weren't paying attention to your line

354
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: or you just didn't have anybody else to start. I

355
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: don't think anybody made the conscious decision to go with

356
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: Ridley because he hadn't done anything at all. Last week

357
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: on Fantasy Live, we do the feel good Friday thing,

358
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, Saquon Barkley was like waiting

359
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: on a train platform for a delayed, delayed train, and like,

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: but what else are you gonna do? Like you don't

361
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: you don't have the funds to take a cab somewhere

362
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: or you know, ken to ride share. And the train

363
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: showed up on Sunday.

364
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: The Tovido Express got there and went all for Saquon

365
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: Barkley four catches for fifty seven yards and two receiving touchdowns.

366
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: Not only was it the most receiving yards he's had

367
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: in a game this season, it ties the amount of

368
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: receiving touchdowns he had in the first ten weeks. Tommy

369
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: DeVito six passing touchdowns this year, same number as Zach Wilson,

370
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: two more than Tyrod Taylor and Daniel Jones combined had

371
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: this year. So I know, like Tommy DeVito, we has

372
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: been a great source of humor for us in the

373
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: NFL world, me especially with the flex to forget about segment.

374
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 3: But like he's holding his own and making it where

375
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley can still be good in fantasy and that's

376
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: all we want out of him.

377
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: That's all we need because nobody's starting Tommy DeVito. But

378
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: if you can elevate the guys around you, then you're

379
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: good in our book. So I look for one week

380
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: thumbs up to you, Tommy DeVito. More chicken cutlets and

381
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: Fast and Furious movies for you, Tommy DeVito. DJ Moore

382
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: I talked about it a little bit with Justin Fields

383
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, but Dj Moore bouncing back seven

384
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: jackches for ninety six yards, did have the touchdown, and

385
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: I think it's just nice to know that he's got

386
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: his quarterback one back. And this was the offense that

387
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: the Bears are hoping to have all season long. It

388
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: was they were just starting to get going when Field

389
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: suffered the thumb injury. But now it looks like maybe

390
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: maybe we can see this thing play out for the

391
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: rest of the season. And here's the thing. Dj Moore

392
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: wasn't bad with Tyson Beagent. It just the ceiling was

393
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: a lot lower with Beagent than it is with Justin Field.

394
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: So I think we always sort of looked at Dj

395
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: Moore as a high end wide receiver too. That fell

396
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: off a little bit with Beigent at quarterback. But it

397
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: appears he's back to doing his thing as a wide

398
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: receiver too right now. So that's good.

399
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: That works.

400
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: Funny how that works. Right, Get your starting quarterback back

401
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: and everybody looks, looks and feels better on the other

402
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: side of that game. Another week where both David Montgomery

403
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: and Jamie or Gibbs figure out how to be successful together.

404
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: We love it.

405
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been amazing. Last week Gibbs was the RB two,

406
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: Monty was the RB twelve. As of now with pending

407
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: Monday night, Gibbs is the RB three months he's the

408
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: RB twelve, so both weeks they've both been RB one's.

409
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 3: Gibbs has scored a touchdown in four straight's, the second

410
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: running back for the Lions to do so since Barry

411
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: Sanders did it in the eighties. Yeah, it's just right now.

412
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: This rushing attack, I would say is the best one

413
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: to two punch in the league. I don't think that's

414
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: a hot take at all. And they you could be like, oh,

415
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: well it came against the Bears. The Bears have been

416
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: the hardest matchup for running backs over the last two months,

417
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: and these guys went out and put up huge numbers

418
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: with ease. We kept talking like they not only can

419
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: they co exist, they both could potentially be league winners

420
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 3: this year. That's how well this line's rushing attack is going.

421
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. In fact, I think I saw something that

422
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: the Austin Eckler noted fantasy podcasters said he would shave

423
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: his eyebrows if both Gibbs and Montgomery finished his top

424
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: fifteen running backs. I think Gibbs is currently in the

425
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: top fifteen and Montgomery's like right around twenty twenty two,

426
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: somewhere on.

427
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: The year, not on the week.

428
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: On the year.

429
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I was like, oh, get ready to shave like Clark.

430
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: I think it's for the year, not for the week.

431
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: It seems kind of drastic to make for a one week,

432
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: one week proposition.

433
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 3: Now, would imagine seeing him like in the Pro Bowl

434
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: or whatever, just.

435
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: It'd be amazing. It's amazing, It'll be funny. Last one

436
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: for me, Jalen Warren. And this has sort of been building.

437
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: We've been saying for a long time that Warren probably

438
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: deserves to have more opportunity in that Steelers offense. He

439
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: was named the starter a couple of weeks ago, but

440
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 2: that seemed more ceremonial than anything. But this past week,

441
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: huge game, one hundred and twenty nine yards and a

442
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: touchdown on just nine carries. Yet somehow he's still seeing

443
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: fewer opportunities than Najie Harris, and no one with eyes

444
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: can understand why, because he is obviously the better playmaker

445
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: of the two. He's more explosive, he's more capable of

446
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: big plays when he gets his hands on the ball.

447
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, right now, Matt Canada and the

448
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: Steelers are still working Nagie Harris in there. I don't know.

449
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: I mean, at this point, I think we just have

450
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: to sort of accept that this is what it is like.

451
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: It's not really good to change, but it'd be nice

452
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: if they just decided to hand everything over to Jalen

453
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: Warren and let him be the guy because he looked

454
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 2: really good against the Browns on Sunday. A guy who

455
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: did not look very good against the Browns, at least statistically,

456
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: was Deontay Johnson. I feel like it's not about Deontay Johnson,

457
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: but more about the quarterback in the offense.

458
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you it look we've been saying, like, oh, you

459
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: can't trust George Pickens because they use him downfield and

460
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett cannot win downfield. Like I think it's four

461
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: passes downfield he's completed all year, but he just can't

462
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: complete anything anymore. Like, he has six passing touchdowns this year.

463
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: That is the same number as Zach Wilson and Tommy DeVito.

464
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: He has one hundred and sixteen passing yards per game

465
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: in the last month, with one touchdown in that span.

466
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 3: So if you're a wide receiver here, you're fighting to

467
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: get some of the one hundred and sixteen yards and

468
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: maybe you get a touchdown every month or so. Like,

469
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: as good as Pickens is, as good as Deonty Johnson

470
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: are for real life purposes, they're almost unusable for fantasy

471
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: because of how bad Kenny Pickett has been. Like I'm

472
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: seeing Steelers fans now posting the game log of Mason

473
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: Rudolph from a couple years ago and be like, I

474
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: would kill for this production right now. That's how bad

475
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: it's been with your first round pick, yikes.

476
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: And I believe they are now up to fifty eight

477
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: games with fewer than four hundred yards of total offense,

478
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: fifty eight consecutive. In fact, on game day preview, which

479
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: you just to check out on the NFL channel streaming

480
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: on Sunday mornings, and Siciliano made the point that the

481
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: last time they had four hundred yards in a game,

482
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback and it wasn't even Roethlisberger's

483
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: final season as the starting quarter the miikes of the

484
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. That is how bad it has been. Me

485
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler, And it seemed like it was a good

486
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: matchup on paper, going against the Green Bay Packers that

487
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: run defense hadn't been very good all year long. But

488
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 2: Eckler did not have a great day, just sixty four

489
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: rushing yards, just two catches for six yards, also lost

490
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: a fumble in there. There was one place that I

491
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: think everybody noted where he sort of got around the

492
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 2: edge and got loose, and it just looked like he

493
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: was running in mud, which is not something we're used

494
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: to seeing from Austin Eckler. I don't know if there's

495
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: something going on with a nagging injury or whatever, but

496
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: he was walked down by a defender in a way

497
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: that I hadn't seen maybe in his career. So that's

498
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: sort of worriesome, but just missing out on what was

499
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: a really good opportunity. Got to hope he gets better.

500
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: The Chargers needed to be better, fantasy managers needed to

501
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,239
Speaker 2: be better. We'll see if he gets better. Coming up

502
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 2: next week. That'll do it for this edition of the

503
