1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: We explore some of the big money issues in the 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: world of sports. I'm Michael Barr along with Damien Sassour 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: and Rich True. You know what that means. It's Wednesday. 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: It's podcast day for fantasy sports football. Oh man, I 6 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: cannot believe we are already, gentlemen in week ten, Week ten. 7 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: It's just like we started the show and now it's 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: week ten. Is like, my goodness. And you know what 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: that means. That means that there might be teams in 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: your league with six or maybe even seven losses on 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,639 Speaker 1: the year, and you know what that means, one more 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: loss and it's no bueno for them. They're not making 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: the playoffs, which means if the trade deadline still holes. 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: You're thinking the same things. Listen, I'll give you a 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: shoe and a bag of footballs and you give me 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: And you know I could see that app Like you know, 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: when when you get the call coming from like a 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: six and three or seven in two team you got here. 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: It comes that time of year. It's like who do 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: they want speaking? Which Jonathan Taylor? You think he is 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: anything left or you think he's a great bylow candidate 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: me personally, I don't want anything to do with Jonathan Taylor. 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: I think the asking price is going to be still 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: too far, too high because you don't kind of know 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 1: what you're getting. You might be getting the number one overall, 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: but I doubt you are, especially the way that offense 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: looks and they have no quarter. I just don't I 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: don't like I'm a seller. I mean, look, if you 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: can get him for the right price, but what what 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: team drafts him number one overall and just gives him 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: away for an R like I don't know, w R 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: two or RB two or something like that. It just 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Well, first of all, you're only gonna 34 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: get pennies on the dollars. Second of all, the Colts 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Jim Rzy decided he threw out Frank Reich as head coach. 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: Now he put in Jeff Saturday. Now. I know he's 37 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: popular as a player, he was one of the best 38 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: centers for the team. But the man never had any 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: coach experience ever, and their offensive coordinator has never called 40 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: up guy who's calling place. Somebody has never called a 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: play in an NFL game is thirty years old. Oh good, 42 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna work out. It doesn't look good. It doesn't 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: know and they and there, and their schedule is not 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: easy either. So I was checking them out earlier. I mean, 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: don't kid yourself. I was looking at Jonathan tell I mean, 46 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: what you want to do at this time of years. 47 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: You want to take a guy on your team who's 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: at a high now, you know, And there aren't that 49 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: many of them after some of these last few weeks, 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: And that's the guy you want to be looking to 51 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: get as much as you can for him. So I 52 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: mean for me, I mean, look, I mean it's gonna 53 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: be hard to It's gonna be hard to pull anything off. 54 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: A lot of people are married, and you've got by 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: weeks coming up, right, I mean plenty of them. So 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: for these teams that have six or seven losses that 57 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: need to win now, they can't afford one more loss. 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: You know, maybe and you can perhaps if you have 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: a better record. Now is the time to be looking at, 60 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: you know. I don't know, the Borrows, the Jackson's, the Mixings, 61 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: the Romandre Stevenson's of the world. All those guys are 62 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: off this week and those teams might need some help. 63 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Four teams on the Buy the Patriots, the Jets, the 64 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: Bengal was the Ravens. By the way, don't you have 65 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: Joe burrow Rich as quarterback? I do miss the bar, 66 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: but luckily I did pick up Justin Fields a couple 67 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Everybody left them alone on waivers. So 68 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: I think I'll play Justin Fields this week, thank you. 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: And I believe we're playing each other's empty spread. They 70 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: pick at the Jones keeper Fields cuts inside looking for 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: the goal life into the end zone for the touchdown. 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Don't you hear the smack talking 73 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: everybody out there? Don't you feel the tension at going 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: on out there? We got, we got. This is one 75 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: of those weeks, by the way, where you're gonna have 76 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: to take a look at some of your important injuries. Now, 77 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about this for a second, because Josh Taylor, 78 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: he I'm talking to Josh, You hear me. It's just like, yeah, 79 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: I granted he threw a seventy yarder in the game 80 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: at the end tossas you call on the way, he'd 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: be going in for Tommy Tommy John surgery. If he 82 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: was a pitcher in the Major league, What do you do. 83 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if I were the Bill's fantasy aside, I 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: would rest him for a couple of weeks. You know 85 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: that they're sure to make the playoffs and they could 86 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: could beat anybody on the road, So why not let 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: the guy rest for a couple of weeks. Fantasy is 88 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: a different question. I mean, I think if you're sticking 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: with the quarterback position, you're absolutely right to highlight field. 90 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: I mean what, he had the most rushing guards by 91 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the NFL history. But you know, a 92 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: guy's flying up the board, and it's because of a 93 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: big trade that happened into the deadline. Jimmy g Jimmy 94 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Garoppolo just has to dump it off the CMC and 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: let him go. Just to Rappolto looking to Rappoo under pressure, 96 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: throws to the back of the ends. Hi drested, McCafe 97 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: touched and that's gonna be very good for his numbers. 98 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: I like him. If you need a spot fill this week, no, 99 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: who else is looking pretty good if you being the quarterback. 100 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones Giants. I have to say, you know what, 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: the Giants are real, and I don't think they're paper tigers, 102 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Jets are paper tigers right now. 103 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: They're off this week, but hey, you know what I 104 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: noticed from last week. I wanted to see how it 105 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: was gonna work out. But one of the big trades 106 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: involved Michael Barr's favorite team. T J. Hockenson went to 107 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings. So you know, they have a lot of weapons. 108 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: They have Justin Jefferson, they have cooked and I'm like, 109 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: how how's he gonna do? He had seven catches, nine 110 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: catches for seven yards, and Justin Jefferson still got his 111 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: He has seven catches for a hundred fifteen. I think 112 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson is going to make great the rush. 113 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: Do you think he's got Andrew's potential? I mean, I 114 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: absolutely do in that offense. Good because I have them 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: in my big money league. I mean what I what, 116 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: I have them in our league. Okay, so here's here's 117 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: what I would say. Also, you know, sticking with the injuries, 118 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: Mr barr Um, you know you've got a few at 119 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: the running back position. You know, Aaron Jones, you know, 120 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: I look Green Bay that. I mean, this is right 121 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: about the time of year where Aaron Jones just mails 122 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: it in. He just mails it in for the rest 123 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: of the year. So what about a guy like a 124 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: j Dillon picking him up off somebody's bench. We have 125 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: him on my other. I mean, you know, like you know, 126 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: you gotta look at these things that you're coming to 127 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: the end of the year. And you know Zeke, I mean, 128 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: I think they're playing each other. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, right, 129 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: I think Zeke's questionable. So look for Tony Pollard to 130 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: have a large role. So you know, I mean, you know, 131 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: some of these guys, these middling running backs can have 132 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: a large role in your teams if they're out there. 133 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: You know who had you know who had a regression 134 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But I think he's due 135 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: for a bounce back game this week. Josh Jacobs, So 136 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: right hand, that's the Jacobs. It's all up the middle, 137 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: tax cuts rights up five touchdop Jacobs the last two 138 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: weeks eleven and seven points respectively, after getting more than 139 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: thirty for three straight weeks. But I think he bounces 140 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: back against the Indianapolis Colts at home. Well, Rich, what 141 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: do you think of this guy? Jalen Warren on Pittsburgh. 142 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: You know everybody's talking about him right now that I mean, 143 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: I think I think Tomlin saying that they might they 144 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: might not play Nagy. I mean, what's going on there? 145 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: I just picked him up in my other league, and 146 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: they said he's going to get more and more carriages, 147 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: and you know what, the more and more Pittsburgh falls 148 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: and the standings and his gat of it. Why why 149 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't they get that when they give him more, you 150 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: know exactly? I mean look, and you know what's what's 151 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing that's really getting me right, I 152 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: mean it's the Cannet's Detroit Lions, Mr Barr. I mean 153 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: you've got running back by committee now in Detroit, and 154 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: you've got running back by committee now in Miami. You 155 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: know Mostard who was looking great a few weeks ago. 156 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, now it's to split time with Wilson. I 157 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: mean it was running back. Those back fields just changed 158 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: on a dime. Right. It's just gonna make things really 159 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: difficult for some of those teams. What have you really 160 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: want to take a long shot with the quarterback? And yeah, 161 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: I know he's got he's got a history, but Deshaun 162 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: wants it. Would you would you take a chance on 163 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson? But I think my boy picked them up. Absolutely. 164 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you missed down on quarterbacks 165 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: this year, if you're arriving with Matthew Stafford the way 166 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: I was, um, you know, and and everyone's gone, Fields 167 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: is gone, Everyone's gone. I mean, you have really no choice. 168 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: You've gotta you gotta be playing for the playoffs. And look, 169 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: if you have six or seven wins like I do, 170 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the now is the time You've got 171 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: to be looking at him really seriously. So so yeah, 172 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I know I picked him up. I'm looking I'm looking 173 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and make a run when I 174 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: get there, you know, and I'm I'm gonna give this away. 175 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you guys right now, because the Raiders 176 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: are playing the Colts, you know what could be a 177 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: pickup is Derek Carr. And and it's like I'm telling 178 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: you now, I'm going for Derek Carr because so if 179 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: if you guys just just want to be you know me, well, 180 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: I have Aaron Rodgers and I have missed the golf 181 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: from the Lions. Yeah, now I could play those two, 182 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: but I am going to go for Derek Kerry. I 183 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: dropped him by the way. You know what I had 184 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: drafted him and on Lea and I dropped him, and 185 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: then you picked him up and you dropped him. But 186 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: now good luck with that. I'll tell you that Davante 187 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Adams was an absolute beast last week. It was a 188 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: real bounce back for him. I mean, granted the losing effort, 189 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: but you know, if you look at receivers, you know 190 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: the guy really kind of starting to really flash for 191 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: me is Christian Kirk and Jacksonville. Trevor fires right corner, 192 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: the ends old cut for the touchdown, Trevor Lawrence, Christian 193 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: Kirk for the score. Mean, he is a guy who 194 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: I think for the rest of the season is going 195 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: to play like a w R two, no questions asked. 196 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean he has become Trevor Lawrence's go to guy, 197 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: and their schedule is pretty favorable, and look he's put 198 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: up good numbers against good teams, good defenses, and um, 199 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: that's a good transition because one of my sleeper picks 200 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: is the same kind of theme. I like Evan Ingram. 201 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: They're playing in the Chiefs, they're gonna fall behind, Lawrence 202 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: has to throw a lot. So that's one of my 203 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: sleeper picks is Evan Ingram. But I definitely understand what 204 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: you're talking about, Kirk. I also think the Miami Cleveland 205 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: game would be high scoring. So maybe Kareem Hunk gets 206 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: them a lot of catches out of the backfield if 207 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: they're trying to play catch up. And I'm on Ross st. 208 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: Brown and you're Detroit Lions. Had was good early, obviously 209 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: was injured. I think he's gonna he played in more 210 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: than the snaps last week. Chicago Detroit actually could be 211 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: a high scoring game, so I like him as a 212 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: possible sleeper. Also. You know what's interesting is if you 213 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: look at the one most high scoring offense I think 214 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: it is probably now or one of them is the 215 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, it looks like you have a little 216 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: bit more clarity there about the wide receiver position, right, 217 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: because Hardman's really stepped into that wide receiver two, which 218 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: well really wide receiver three because Kelsey is really the 219 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: r W R one. But I mean, like, now you've 220 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: got Hardman, You've got right is the right. So so 221 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: those are the three. I mean, no more mvs, no 222 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: more sky more, no more nonsense. And so you know, 223 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: if Hardman's out there, which he is in a lot 224 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: of leagues, I mean, how do you not, you know, 225 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: make a make a move for him. Now talking about defenses, 226 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: because again we got the bye weeks. If you have 227 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots defense, you're gonna have to pick up another defense. 228 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Anything look good out there for you guys. Even the 229 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: and the Ravens are off too. So well, it's interesting. 230 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of leagues. I don't know why. 231 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me. I've seen the forty Niners out there. 232 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: I think after the bye week, right, so I mean people, 233 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: I would like the Giants against Houston as a possible 234 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: sleeper pick. Yeah, the Chiefs again, the Jaguars, Ravens. Ravens 235 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: look great, the Titans looks great. I mean these are 236 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: obviously I'm thinking of the ones that might still be 237 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: out there in your league's right. I mean, Tampa may 238 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: have been dropped after they lost uh I forget his name, 239 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: Chaparra to to injury, but they look great last week. 240 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: But you are correct. A lot of teams do drop 241 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: defenses on their pction. It's a great time to try 242 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: to pick somebody up. One thing about Josh Allen because 243 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: of this injury, is that if you drafted a guide 244 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: like a Josh Allen as your quarterback. You probably didn't 245 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: have a backup quarterback because you thought, hey, I got 246 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, so you know, outside of covering something for 247 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: the bye, a little pick up by you're gonna be 248 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: good to go. But now, like I said, what do 249 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: you do? So you know you're gonna have to work 250 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the waiver wire this week again. Remember the Patriots, Jets, Bengals, 251 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: and Ravens. They are all off in the buy in 252 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: week ten. I cannot believe it. It is time now 253 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a move, And like you gentlemen said, 254 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: do it now because you're waiting any longer. You're not 255 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. You only got two weeks probably 256 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: left for the trade deadline too.
