1
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us Fantasy coaches, and welcome through the

2
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm your host, Bobby Sylvester, and

3
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: by my side is producer JP Gale. We had so

4
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: many injuries this week, especially at running back, and we

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: have a busy show ahead of us to talk about

6
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: all this. We're fortunate enough to be joined by John

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: Halpin a Fox Sports dot Com. Hi, John, thanks for

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: joining us. Thanks for having me on, Bobby. Yeah, the

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: zero RB people must be feeling pretty good about themselves

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: today with all the running except I'm not so sure

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: anyone's feeling so good about themselves. I mean, John. After

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Week one, I felt like we all had a pretty

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: good idea about where we were wrong in the preseason,

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: where we were right, and I was feeling really good

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: about the rest of the season going forward. Then Week

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: two happens. I mean, the Saints and Giants had a

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: defensive matchup, all the top wide receivers had mediocre games

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: despite great matchups, and then we had a number of

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: running backs go down with injuries. Wuss nuts. Yeah, I

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: was expecting some some of the games to be higher scoring. Actually,

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: the Giant Saints one was really the one that got

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: me because I had some DFS lineups focused around that.

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe it's short term. I think in

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: that game, I was all surprised the Giants didn't score more.

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: But I've been saying all along the Giants defense is

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: better than people think. They upgrade. Everybody keeps looking the

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: first two weeks. We tend to lean on last year

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: a little too much, and it was pretty clear that

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: they upgraded their personnel in the off season. I mean,

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: it might not work out perfectly, but it's certainly better,

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: especially on the line. And they've been playing. They've they've

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: lived up to any hype they got. In first two games,

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: they looked pretty good. They look phenomenal. I would have

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: to say they're the favorite to win the division right now,

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: right I agree. I mean, part of that is because

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: the division's terrible. Yeah, but you know, I really do

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: think that. I thought all on they're gonna win. I'm

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: thinking ten wins them and that should be enough to

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: get them buy in that division. I know Dak Prescott

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: looks good, but I don't think the Cowboy is gonna

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: be able to hang and get to that kind of

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: level unless Romo comes back. I definitely agree. John let's

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: jump over and talk about some of those injuries, because,

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: like I said, it's a really busy show, so we

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: don't have that much time, and we'll start with Adrian Peterson. Now,

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: I'll just say for those of you listening, we're recording

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: this show at two o'clock Eastern time, Monday afternoon, so

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: not all information is available yet. When once this comes out,

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: we might hear Adrian Peterson's out for the season, or

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's just going to miss a game or two,

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: or hope you ready to suit up on Sunday. So

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at some veryous scenarios and just help

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: you guys understand. How do you look at the injury

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: wire on Monday when you're getting ready for your wave

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: of wire pickups? And you know, if AP is out,

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: how much does someone like Jerick McKinnon stock swore, And

57
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: if he's out for just one or two weeks, how

58
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: do you look at it? So John, let's start with that.

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: If he is out for the season, what happens with McKinnon, Well,

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: for the season. I'm a big mckinnonan. I actually drafted

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: McKinnon in a bunch of places just because I can't

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: say I was going to I predicted a Peterson injury,

63
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: but I always want to bet against a running back

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: at that age with that kind of workload. Now I'll

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: qualify that by saying, we'll clarify by saying that I

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: made the same bet last year against Peterson and lost.

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to own him anywhere. I got McKinnon

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: in a few spots and it didn't pay off. Maybe

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: it will this time. I'm definitely concerned that Matt Asiata

70
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: could be really annoying because he's been that way in

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the past, because there's been times in the past Peason

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: games and we've said, all right, McKinnon and then Asiata

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: comes in and gets three touchdowns on nine carries or something.

74
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm a big McKinnon guy. I think I'll say top

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: twenty only because I'm worried about Asiata. If I wasn't

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: as worried about Asiata, I might shoot even higher. I

77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: really like McKinnon. I think he's terrific. I think that's

78
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: still going to be a run centric team even without Peterson,

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: so plus he can catch the ball, so that'll leave

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: him on the field a little more. I think there's

81
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: a lot to like here, that's right, So top twenty

82
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: rest of season running back overall top twenty running back.

83
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: And that might sound conservative event and an easy way out,

84
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: but but you have to be somewhat concerned about Assiota

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: getting goal line carries and things like that, or and

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: maybe getting tense healthising game as possible, and we've seen

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: it happen before. I'd be as much as I like McKinnon,

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: I'd be naive to think that couldn't happen again. You're

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: exactly right. I mean, McKinnon only had two carries on Sunday.

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 1: You know, Assietta had six carries, So I'm really concerned

91
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: about that. But like you, I drafted McKinnon virtually every league.

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, tooting his horn all preseason and

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Week one, pick him up. If he's available, pick him up,

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: and it looks like it might work out. Now I

95
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: have the benefit of looking at our Waiver Wire rankings

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: before they're published. We posted them on Tuesday morning, and

97
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: we get six or seven experts to come in and

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: post their rankings. One of the experts was John and

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I'll just say everybody has Jered McKinnon as their number

100
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: one guy. Is he the clear cut number one guys

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: or someone else this week that you might reveling. I

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: think Jay Agii is an interesting option just because look

103
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: at Foster's out. They pretty clearly suggested in the preseason

104
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: that they didn't trust Kenyan Drake because he would be

105
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the guy who you'd think would be the receiving back,

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: but they didn't trust him the block and that matters.

107
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: So I think as unhappy as they might be with him,

108
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where else they go. Plus you look

109
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: at this week, if you just look a short term,

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: they play the Browns at home, right, Yeah, So I

111
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: mean that's a pretty that's a pretty good option. You like,

112
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: if I didn't get McKinnon and I got Jgi, Okay,

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: that's I'm good. As much as I like McKinnon, I'd

114
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: be comfortable with that with that as a fallback. Now,

115
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: he's a serious athlete, a GIA that is. But are

116
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: they going to trust him with the full workloaded Foster's

117
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: out for an extended period of time. I don't know.

118
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what realistic options they have there. Yeah,

119
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the other guys they're just so

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: so I think they they clearly don't like as evidence

121
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: by the fact that they went out and tried to

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: sign a bunch of other running backs in the all season.

123
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, they tried to get C. J. Anderson and

124
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: then they got Foster, and you know they weren't totally

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: thrilled to them. But right now I think, you know,

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: it is what it is, and they're gonna have to

127
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: go with him. Let's talk about Doug Martin. He's going

128
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: to be out with a hammy. They're same two weeks.

129
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: We know how these things go. It could be four

130
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: or five weeks and when he comes back, he might

131
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: not be the same. And he's got a great backup

132
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: running back behind him, Charles Simms. We didn't see classic

133
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: Charles Simms last week because you know it's a tough

134
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: matchup against Arizona. They're playing from behind, you know, thirty

135
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: points the whole week. But Charles Simms, I said this

136
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: last week, he has more yards in the past ten

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: weeks than Todd Gurley. That's the yards from scrimmage, passing

138
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: and rushing. So Charles Sims can be a really good one. Obviously,

139
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: he's owned in every league. But if the draft was today,

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: how high would you take Charles Simms. Knowing Martin's gonna

141
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: be out for a while, Oh jeesus. Especially, I mean

142
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: if you're in a PPR league, you like him even

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: more because he can catch the ball. Yeah, where would

144
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I draft Sims in a PR I've probably draft him

145
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: as a top let's say twelve to fifteen running back,

146
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: and that's without the rankings in front of me. But yeah,

147
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: I'd really like it. You know, last year he was gid.

148
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: He got it last year as a as a second banana.

149
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Martin had a great year and Sims had

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: over had almost eleven hundred yards from scrimmage. It's amazing.

151
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: So now you get him in there and you, let's

152
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: say double his carries, Well, now you're up to probably

153
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred from scrimmage over a full season. And you

154
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: know there aren't there probably aren't ten running backs better

155
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, maybe can you handle that work?

156
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess so. I mean, you know,

157
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: if you double the carries, that's still only you know,

158
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred. So I mean, maybe he doesn't

159
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: average four point nine like he did last year. But

160
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: but I think Sims, you know, as as a workhorse type,

161
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: you tend to think that because of the way he

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: can catch them all, he'd be really good. Yeah, yeah,

163
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I definitely agree. I think you could pound it in

164
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: the red zone on goal line situations. I love Sims

165
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Now, Obviously a lot of people listening to

166
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: this playing pretty serious leagues where everyone knows exactly what's

167
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: going on. They know who Charles Sims is. But some

168
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: people listening you play in leagues with people who just

169
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: don't even know who Charles Sims is. If you're in

170
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: that league, just go out and get him, Go go

171
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: make a trade. You'll be able to get a great

172
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: value on him. He's soaring up my rankings right now.

173
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely. I mean, this is the only reason you'd

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: hesitate a little is because Martin's injury might not be

175
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: too bad. Yeah yep. Now someone else who's injury they're

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: saying is not too bad is Jonathan Stewart. Rivera just

177
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: came out there, they're head coach, and Carolina came out

178
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: and said it's just going to be one or two weeks.

179
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: But again, these kind of injuries linger, how are they

180
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: going to divvy up the carries in Carolina? I don't

181
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: like any of their options I mean, Whittaker was pretty

182
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: good in Week two against San Francisco, but at San Francisco, right,

183
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and what they're gonna do, I mean, Rivera also said

184
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: that it would be more of a situation where a

185
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Cameron Artist Pain would be the lead back type and

186
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: Whittaker would be the change of pace type. And that's

187
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: sort of what they did last year, you know, when

188
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: Stewart got her last year, I think the last three

189
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: games the carries for artists Pain were fourteen, five and fourteen.

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: I think the five was against Atlanta, but I'm not

191
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: sure when they had that loss. But but Fozzi, Whitaker

192
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: is not going to be a fifteen carry guy. Everybody.

193
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: If Jonathan Stewart's hurt, I think most likely it's going

194
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: to be artist Pain with fifteen carries. Tolbert's going to

195
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: be in the mix two, which if you're trying to

196
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: pick either Whittaker or artist Pain, Tolbert could get kind

197
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: of annoying there for you. Now I'm looking at these

198
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: rankings by the other experts, and they've got Fazzi Whittaker

199
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: number four, number four, and number five. You haven't met

200
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: number seventeen. Now, these can change before they're published. But

201
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: Cameron artist Pain, they have a twenty one, twenty six,

202
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: twenty seven, and you have it eight. So what are

203
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: you seeing that suggests Cameron Pain's going to get the carries?

204
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been anywhere to be found yet.

205
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: Why is that? Because, I mean that's what river literally

206
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Rivera said that today. He said that Cameron artists Pain

207
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: would be the lead back. And that's what they pretty

208
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: much what they did last year. Look, they had that

209
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: one tough game where he didn't wasn't on the field

210
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: a lot. But when they played the Giants in that

211
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: game with the cage match with Beckham and Josh Norman,

212
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Cameron Artist Pain got the ball a lot, and they're

213
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: they're pretty He hasn't been active yet, which is you know,

214
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: it was concerning, But that's what they have. You know,

215
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: they don't have another option because Whittaker is not a

216
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: lead back, tight Tilbert's a fullback. In artist Pain is

217
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the only thing they have really resembling a traditional tailback.

218
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: And and he said they're going to use them, and

219
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: they've done it before, so I have every reason to

220
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: believe he's telling me the truth. Yeah, what does his

221
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: upside look like? Exactly can he be an RB two

222
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: or is he just a flex play at this point?

223
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Not this week and this week they're playing they're playing

224
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings, which is a pretty tough matchup. And the

225
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: thing is with artist Pain, he'll get he'll probably get

226
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: the carries, but he won't get all the carries. I

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: know most people don't. You don't. We don't have fifteen

228
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: teams where one guy's getting twenty carries. I get that,

229
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: but Artist Pain will probably be on the lower end

230
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: of the work way. If he's a top fifteen carry

231
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: guy this week, I'd probably be surprised. So that tells

232
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: me maybe he goes fourteen for fifty three and hopefully

233
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: he gets a touchdown. It's it's gonna be something like that.

234
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: So I think he's probably I don't know. Running back

235
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven. I haven't done my

236
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: rankings yet, but but that's what my gut tells me. Yeah,

237
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: that that's a nice pickup if you can grab a

238
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: guy like that. Another running back situation is we're Shod

239
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Jennings over in New York and you're closer to this situation.

240
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Is he going to be is

241
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: he gonna miss any time? There hasn't been much talk

242
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: about what's going on with Jennings, but you know, they

243
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: took him out in the final minutes of a pretty

244
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: close game. So how bad is this? You know, I

245
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how bad it is, but what I

246
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: saw today suggest he's going to be limited to practice,

247
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: and that's all they said. So for now, we're not

248
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: going to panic. I mean, you can panic about the

249
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: fact that he's not running well. I'd worry about that

250
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: if I own. Yeah, that's you know. I mean, they

251
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: played the same Chester day and they got nothing done

252
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: because quite the offensive line is not very good. I

253
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: think that if he missed the game, the sneaky right

254
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: away everybody you would think vereene based on what you

255
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. But you know they've they've they said during

256
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: the preseason and as the season was about to start

257
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: that Orleans Darkwa was the second string back. I mean,

258
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: they're not going I don't think they'd go vereen full time.

259
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think they'd say, all right, Jennings

260
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: is out. Verene's going to get eighteen carries. He's not

261
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: that kind of back. He's more of a pass catching

262
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: than yesterday. You know, I think they felt in a

263
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: pinch they wanted to use him, but I think dark

264
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: Wook could get it doesn't carries if Jennings doesn't play.

265
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: That is really interesting because you know, everything I've been

266
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: hearing well from the people that they don't know what

267
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: they're talking about, have been saying Vereen. But the first

268
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: expert that I that I asked about it, Darkwae, is

269
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: he's intriguing. I mean, we watched him run a little

270
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: bit last year and when I saw his film, he

271
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: looks like an impressive young running back. I mean he's

272
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: got something in it. Yeah, he does. I like him,

273
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: and you know, he sort of came out of nowhere

274
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: last year a little bit. You know, he had a

275
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: couple of you know games where he had a handful

276
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: of carries and did well and they seem to like him,

277
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: and they finally, you know, no more. You know, Andre

278
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Williams going on there. We're gonna have to worry about

279
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: him sucking things up. So yeah, I like dark Well.

280
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a decent you know, he's he's not

281
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: a star or anything like that, but heys r Sean Jennings.

282
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: Now this Seattle situation has became this headaches all preseason

283
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: and now it's continuing. Thomas Rawls got the job back

284
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt again. Who do you like

285
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: better for the rest of the season, Thomas Rawls or

286
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: Christine Michael. That's really hard just because I'm just it's

287
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: not hard if they're both healthy. Rawles is the obvious pick.

288
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like Rawls's injury wasn't so bad, but you know,

289
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: he's he got injured again, and you wonder if they're

290
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna make it more of a split than you'd like

291
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: to see if you own Roles, I mean, I still

292
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: like Ralls better over the course of the season, but

293
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Rawles also he cost you more on draft day. In

294
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: most cases, he cost you probably a fourth round pick

295
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: or a third round pick or something like that. I'd

296
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: still go Rawls. I have to say, after yesterday, I

297
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: got a little concerned. But when I saw another injury happen,

298
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and plus his line, I mean,

299
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I guess you can't forge out too much in a

300
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: game where they got nothing done that the Rams defense

301
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: just really stepped up and played great. But yes, seven

302
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: for minus seven, that's no fun. Yeah, he had negative

303
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: one yards per carry and Christine Michael had six point

304
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: o yards per carry. He has looked so good all season,

305
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I want to be careful to not

306
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: get on that bandwagon again and just get get torched again.

307
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: But well it's tempting. He looks awesome. He does. And

308
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing about that. I agree with you. I've

309
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: gone down that rabbit hole before, and I know a

310
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: lot of people have too. And you want to say,

311
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're sometimes you just get that. It's not

312
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: as much your brain, but your your brain tells you.

313
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: You know, the guys was cut by three teams, right

314
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: or four whatever is now, I don't even know what

315
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: it is. But and you say, well, I don't want

316
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: to get you know, sucked in by that again. Well,

317
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's a waiver claim, why not. He

318
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: probably was a couple of weeks ago, maybe not anymore.

319
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: But but the guy's running well, I mean you have

320
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: to look. And the Seahawks, you know, sometimes teams both smoke,

321
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: but they said, well, he looks like a different guy.

322
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: He's running a lot better than he ever did before.

323
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: And before their problem with him, they they would always

324
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: hint at things like he didn't. He's not picking up

325
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: the playbook. It was that kind of stuff, And now

326
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: they seem to be happy with them. You know, they're

327
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: not saying the bad things that they used to say

328
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: about him, and they know him better than anybody else.

329
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm fine. I don't think he's gonna

330
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: win me a Fantasy championship, but if I have a

331
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: running back hurt and I need a guy who might

332
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: get ten carries, yeah sure, I mean, of course. So,

333
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: like I said, he's probably not available in most leagues

334
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: at this point, like he was a couple of weeks ago.

335
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: But but he's also not you know, you're not pinning

336
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: your hopes on him either. No. I mentioned Michael's film

337
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: and how much I like watching him run. He's very talented.

338
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: But the one guy in the NFL, he said, like

339
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: a David Johnson or Todd Gurley. That's kind of a

340
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: mid range running back that I just loved watching run.

341
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: He's so talented, is a mirror Abdulah. But his body's

342
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: just not I don't know if it's built for the NFL.

343
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: And he got banged up. He might miss some time,

344
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: but the X rays did come back negative, So if

345
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: he is hurt is Dwayne Washington and guy Well, I

346
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: think they probably mix up. I don't know. I think

347
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: theyre He's not going to be the guy. I don't

348
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: think there is going to be a guy. I think

349
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Riddick gets probably busier, right, but interesting, I wouldn't be

350
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: that if I'm picking up these other players, you know,

351
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: for talking about picking up McKinnon or Sam As, you

352
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: can't pick up or a guy like who else do

353
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: we talk about earlier? Is going to get a like

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: a Jagi? Right? WHOA? I look at the Lions and

355
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: I say, all right, well, are they going to get

356
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Zach Zenner in the mix with Abdullah Hurt? Not to

357
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: get twelve carries, but to get some carries? Yeah, and

358
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if they will. I wouldn't be blowing a

359
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: big fat bid on Dwayne Washington, if you know, to

360
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: put it that way. I was really big on Zenner

361
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Not not really big. I wasn't telling

362
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: anyone to draft him, but I was saying, you know,

363
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: this is a legitimate sleeper. This guy can really run.

364
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: He's got a great athletic profile. And then he's just

365
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: been sitting on the bench. They you know, Dwayne Washington

366
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: all of a sudden passed him up. I think if

367
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Zenner does get a chance, he might ed up being

368
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: better than Washington. So I'm the same way. I'm not

369
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: touching Washington, not at all. Okay, Yeah, and you know,

370
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: any of them. The thing is, any of them can

371
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: get five carries, but one of them have to be

372
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: a touchdown, which should be really annoying. But you know,

373
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: you never want a bat on a guy like that.

374
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: All right. Then over in San Diego, Danny woodheads out that.

375
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: That's a real bummer because he's a great player for

376
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's just this little guy who runs around

377
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: and you know, they even run him in the goal line.

378
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: He's He's fantastic. I love watching Danny woodhead. But now

379
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon becomes a bigger name. He was kind of

380
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: a mid range running back and now he's scoring touchdowns.

381
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: He's getting quite a few carries. How far up to

382
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: see bump? Now, Melvin Gordon? How far up to see put?

383
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: That's a man that's high. They have They have to

384
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: use him more. I know yesterday it's hard to tell

385
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: yesterday because they were up thirty five nothing, so rivers

386
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: only through A twenty four times and we really can't

387
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: read a lot into that. But I mean, if you

388
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: look at the other running backs right now, and Gordon's

389
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: been pretty good, you know, people to be elusiveness ratings

390
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: and all that stuff being Gordon seems to grade pretty

391
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: well as bad as his year last year was. But

392
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: right now, looking at what running backs are, how many

393
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: running backs are better than Gordon, I don't know, are

394
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: there fifteen better? No, I wouldn't think so. I think

395
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: he probably gets He can catch the ball a little too.

396
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: He's not as good as receiver as Woodhead, but he's

397
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: not I mean, he's not some stonehands type of guy either.

398
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: So he could catch maybe three passes a game and

399
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: you know that gives you another let's say, twenty five

400
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: yards and that helps. But I think he's going to

401
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: run a lot. And this week they've got I mean

402
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: they're at the Colts. I mean signed me up from

403
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Alvin Gordon. I'll start you're starting him anyway, but he's

404
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: got to be a top fifteen back this week. Yeah,

405
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: I definitely agree. I mean, there's a reason he was

406
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: receiving so much high last year after the draft. He's amazing.

407
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: He was amazing in college, and you know he's a

408
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: tremendous athlete. They're not gonna be able to pass the

409
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: ball to Keenan Allen. I'm not buying Williams or in

410
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Men or who have you. They don't really have an option.

411
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to run the ball with Gordon, even

412
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: if they're down, They're going to be given touches to Gordon.

413
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he jumps in, maybe even

414
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: into the top ten. I think he might be right

415
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: for this week. I haven't done rankings yet, but that

416
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he lands there because I think

417
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: against the Colts, Yeah, I would. I would bet the

418
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: over on twenty carts. And then finally, Gronk and Jamaal

419
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: Charles both missed another week. How long is this going

420
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: to linger him? Is it going to happen in week

421
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: three again? Is it gonna happen in week six? When

422
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: are these guys coming back? He got me? I wish

423
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I knew. Gronk seems to be a you know, it's

424
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: a week to week thing and I don't know what.

425
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what to guess about him for this week,

426
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: but this this week, see him is their Thursday, right,

427
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I mean maybe he was quote I don't.

428
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I wish I could have a guest, but with the Patriots,

429
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I can't because they're not tipping their hand. And maybe

430
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: with the short week coming, they kept Gronk out another

431
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: game to start in on Thursday or something like that.

432
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Now he's going to have a third string quarterback thrown

433
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: to him. So the heck knows what happened there. As

434
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: far as Jamal Charles, I would so hate to be

435
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: one of those people who drafted Jamal Charles in the

436
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: second round right now because when he comes back, I

437
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. I spent What are

438
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: they going to tell Spencer where to sit on the ben?

439
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: No way? Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's been pretty good

440
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: and he can catch the ball, and you know, even

441
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: West can do a little bit. So I don't know.

442
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: If I drafted Charles, I would be I would be

443
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: preparing myself for some sort of committee. And unless I

444
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: knew Charles was was full blown go with that knee

445
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: and back to normal, that's a scary proposition. And what

446
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen with these backup quarterbacks?

447
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Jacoby Bridge, who when he came in,

448
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: he was he looked pretty good with the lead. I mean,

449
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's a third string quarterback and he's not

450
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: going to play very long. But how is this going

451
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: to change the offense for the Patriots? Are they just

452
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a ton with Blount? Isn't

453
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: that what I mean? They're running the ball a ton already?

454
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: You're right, So I don't know how much more they

455
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: can do it. I know they're gonna, especially against the Texans,

456
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to take the ball out of this

457
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: guy's hands as much as they can. And you know,

458
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that the Patriots have kind of given

459
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: Garoppolo some rope and let him throw. They're not going

460
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: to do with this guy. I mean, that would be

461
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: just crazy. I don't know what ski and then to

462
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: come up with a If anyone's gonna come up with

463
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: something good, it's going to be them. Yeah. But yeah,

464
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to try to pound it and I

465
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: mean really short, you know, I mean those little slot

466
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: guys are running all over the place, are gonna catch

467
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: balls three yards off the line. But you know, I

468
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what they're gonna do. I don't

469
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: think this goes well for the Patriots, as smart as

470
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: they can be, as much as they can adjust to injuries,

471
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if gronks. I mean, I don't I

472
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: don't know how this works for them this Thursday. You know,

473
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: it's even though this is hardly fantasy relevant, this is

474
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: the most interesting story to me because the Patriots are

475
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: just so crafty. Look like you said, if anyone's going

476
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: to come up with something, that's going to be them,

477
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: Who knows what they're gonna do here. I can't wait

478
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: to see the way that it plays out. Well, I

479
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: can't wait. I think it's gonna be bad. I really

480
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: feel I don't as smart as they are. And I'm

481
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: a fan. I'm a Belichick fan. I mean, I'm not

482
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan. Generally. I think they're fine. They don't

483
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: bother me one way or the other. I'm a Belichick fan.

484
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: I grew up a Giant fan, you know, back when

485
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: he was the defensive coordinator. And you know, I always

486
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: joke around. No one can say anything bad about Belichick

487
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: to me. So but even this situation, I mean, this

488
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: is a I mean, third string quarterback against a defense

489
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: that good. Come on, I mean, unless they win that

490
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: game six to three, I don't that's a really tough

491
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: one to pull off. Now over in Cleveland, they're also

492
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: down to their third string quarterback. What or what are

493
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: they gonna do? I mean, JP and I were joking

494
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: last show about Terrelle Pryor someone else said, ain't gonna

495
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: give him a shot? I mean, if all Jessler goes down,

496
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: is there any chance whatsoever? I don't know. I was

497
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: actually more intrigued about the Julian Edelman option to the

498
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: Patriots than Terrelle Pryor. But that is very interesting. That

499
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: so cool, That would be so funny. I would love

500
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: to see that. But you know, I mean, could you

501
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: imagine the Patriots come out running some sort of you know,

502
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: option offense or single wing dead or something like that.

503
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that'd be the one team and

504
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, whatever, I'm not that surprised, you know,

505
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: drop kicks things like that. But yeah, but Cleveland, Yeah,

506
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: that's a that's a mess. I mean, who is it now?

507
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: Is it not Cook? The string quarterback for the Browns?

508
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: And oh? I mean and they're bad to begin with.

509
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they came out strong yesterday, but

510
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean they're pretty bad. They're playing at Miami. I

511
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: think that. I mean the Dolphins, that's a that's a

512
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: streaming defense, and they're owned. I think if they're really

513
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: low owned in a lot of leagues. I mean, that

514
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: is the no brainish streaming defense of the week. But

515
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: what are the Browns gonna don't know? They're gonna try

516
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: to run a lot like they did yesterday, and I

517
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: think they probably got to get Duke more involved a

518
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: little bit and not just depend on Crowell because other

519
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: than the one carry, not that we can discount the

520
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: one carry, but you know, Kroll was a three yard

521
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: carry guy other than the big touchdown he had. So

522
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to, you know, get Duke

523
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: a little more involved, maybe Barnege a little more involved

524
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: for for a rookie quarterback. But yeah, this is just

525
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: this is just a bad scene for the Browns. I'll

526
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: tell you what. Kroll is the single most annoying player

527
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy right now. He don't think he's very good,

528
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: and he keeps putting up these big numbers and everyone's

529
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, thinking that I'm wrong. He just doesn't look

530
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: very good. I'm not buying it. He looked yeah, I

531
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: mean on a touchdown run. He look good yesterday? Oh

532
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I mean it's easy to look good on

533
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: an eighty five yard touchdown run, I guess, or you're

534
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: obviously going to look good. But the things he splits

535
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: snaps with Duke, so you have to remember that. I mean,

536
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: all those people who drafted Duke in the sixth round

537
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: and are probably pulling their hair out right now, just

538
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: hanging there. I think things are going to get better

539
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: for him. I think they're gonna start using him in

540
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: passing game a little more. So. I wouldn't. Crowell is

541
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: not good enough to carry the load all season long. Now,

542
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Dolphins is a great streaming defensive pickup,

543
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: and I agree, But for me this week, I don't

544
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: think it's no brainer. I'm really buying into the Tampa

545
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. I mean, the Rams haven't scored a touchdown.

546
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: I know, but I get what you're saying. But I

547
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: think at some point, I see I think the Dolphins defense,

548
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense is better than the Bucks, right, I think, so,

549
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that the Bucks had

550
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries last year. I really liked Lavante

551
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: David Gerald McCoy is one of the best run stuffers.

552
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: They pulled over Grimes from the Dolphins. I kind of

553
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: like the Buccaneers defense, probably more than the Dolphins. I

554
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: don't it's it's real close. I think most people would

555
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: agree with you, though. But then, but then you look

556
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: at the Rams and you know, the Browns don't have

557
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. You're right to that you have to account for.

558
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean the ownership levels probably

559
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: they're probably both available in your league, but you know

560
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: the Bucks also, see I always you always chase the

561
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: rookie or the third string quarterback or whatever. Yeah, but

562
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: I definitely have in my head the times I've gotten

563
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: burned doing that. And usually the common denominator when you

564
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: get burned, as you say, well, it was the perfect spot,

565
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: but oh right, the defense was bad. It's just a

566
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: bad defense to begin with, no matter who they were playing.

567
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: And sometimes the bad defense is going to get burned,

568
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: even by a scrubby quarterback. You know, it doesn't happen

569
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: all the time. And you say, you know, the process

570
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: I think is right, But the times you lose, I

571
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: think that's usually the reason. And I actually think the

572
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense is solid, and I do think the Aunt. Look,

573
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I know the Rams offense is not good. I think

574
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: I would rather case Keenum Todd Gurley, then Cody Kessler

575
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: and Crowellen Duke. I don't think that's to me, that's

576
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: a pretty easy decision. You know what it is to

577
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: me is case Keenum. He started ten career games, he

578
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: has twenty one turnovers, and you know he is not

579
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: a rookie, but you know he's going to turn over

580
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: the ball. He's a known bad quantity is supposed to

581
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: an unknown bad one. Yeah, he really is. You can't

582
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: go wrong with either of these options. These are probably

583
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna be the two best streaming defenses all season, as

584
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned. It really could be the case.

585
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: They'll probably definitely be both in the top five all season.

586
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: So go ahead and pick one, and I don't think

587
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: that you will regret either of them. I have, sorry,

588
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: I have some breaking news on Adrian Peterson right now.

589
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer just said on his k Fan radio show

590
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: that Peter Person has a torn meniscus and the timetable

591
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: to bad timetable is uncertain, uncertain yeah, that's probably four

592
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: to six weeks based on what we've seen in the past,

593
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know, obviously he's gonna have to recover

594
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: from that getback in football shape. But that's not the

595
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: end of the world news for Adrian Peterson because you'll

596
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: still have him in the playoffs. If that's some pretty

597
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: good defensive matchups coming in the playoffs. So JP, thanks

598
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: for sharing that. That makes McKinnon a huge pickup. How

599
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: much Fabri you spending on them? What precenting your budget?

600
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I don't know. I'm not trying to put

601
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: you on here. That's that's tough, I would guess, you know.

602
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: I part of me hesitates just because there's always another

603
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: running back. But we're so early, and I think McKinnon's

604
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: upside is so high. I don't know. I'm going a

605
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: seventy percent sounds fine to me, but I'm not. I

606
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: will admit that I'm not a guy who does the

607
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: science of how much fab I should spend, and that's

608
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: probably a shortcoming on my part. No, No, um, that

609
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: is really interesting. I mean a lot of people have

610
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: injured running backs right now, and if you do, I

611
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: could certainly see spending that much Um, I think that

612
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: you'll win him if you spend that much. I tend

613
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: to be a lot more conservative, but then I'm always

614
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: that guy who has an extra money left over at

615
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: the end of the year. So go get McKinnon. Don't

616
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: don't be losing by a dollar. Go get McKinnon. He's

617
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: going to be fantastic moving forward next four to six weeks.

618
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: That's great. I'm a believer because I'll do it because

619
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: A I'm a big believer in McKinnon, in his talent.

620
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I really really like him now I do. I probably

621
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: will do some more research on Peterson's likely timetable before

622
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: I pull the trigger on that. Yeah, one other thing,

623
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: Woodhead torn Acl confirmed. Wow. Yeah, I guess you know.

624
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: We were expecting to be out for a while. But

625
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Gordon is a really nice stock to own right now. Um,

626
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: I want to jump out of the seat of my

627
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: pants to go trade for him because I think that

628
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: everyone knows that he's a nice stock to own, and

629
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get shaft. But man, I would love

630
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: to have Gordon if if you didn't draft him. Unfortunately,

631
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: I did draft him. In a lot of leaks, I did.

632
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: I did draft Gordon in a few, So I'm pretty

633
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not happy about Woodhead, but but it's working

634
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: it's it's working out pretty well. Right. So we already

635
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: talked about McKinnon. Ember said that Peterson could play this week.

636
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: Possibly he's not ruling him out. Reported what in the

637
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: world that that's absurd to me? Yeah, maybe someone's twisting

638
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: words there, But anyway, I gotta turn off to Twitter.

639
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, I could see a situation where they're trying

640
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: to get the opposing defense to prepare for ap just

641
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: in case, but torn meniscus with a Hall of Fame

642
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: running back. I don't think you mess with that. No,

643
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: you can't. I wonder how long the actual timetable is,

644
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: but you know, well, smarter people than me will have

645
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: that figured out sometime whether it's all right. So you

646
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: said McKinnon's your number one at gya's your number two.

647
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: Who's another running back that you don't mind picking up

648
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: this week? Again? To one guy who mentioned earlier, I

649
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: don't mind artist Pain, I really don't. I don't like

650
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: him nearly as much as the other two guys, but

651
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: he'd probably be next up my listens. I can't get Sims.

652
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't trust the dark Wood Verene split as much

653
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: as i'd like, I think I know what it'll be,

654
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: but it might be about half considering the pass catching.

655
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: But Dixon, you have him pretty high too. When he

656
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: comes back. Is he going to be the starter? I

657
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: mean the way those other guys are running. Yes, yeah,

658
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: he's see. I think they wanted him to be the starter,

659
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: and the injury got in the way. I mean West.

660
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, we talked a lot about how West ran

661
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: well in the preseason before set. You know, they went

662
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: out and they drafted it back pretty high, probably because

663
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: they didn't like what they had so much. And Dixon,

664
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, they seemed to like him. He can catch

665
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: the ball bit too. I think as long as he's healthy,

666
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty good chance at take him that

667
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: thing over. I mean, look, i'd rank him higher if

668
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: I knew how healthy was going to be. But but

669
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: you know that's that's always a wild card. All right.

670
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: Let's move over to wide receivers. We haven't really talked

671
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: about any wide receivers yet, and this is the Waivers show, um,

672
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: so you know there are some wide receivers that I

673
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: think are worth picking up. The first name is obviously

674
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Tyroll Williams wide receiver had to San Diego, who looks

675
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: like he's gonna fill into Keenan Allen's real nice that

676
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like fifty sixty percent of Keenan Allen

677
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: because Keenan Allen's a borderline superstar. But um, tell us

678
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: about Williams. You think that he's a star every week? No,

679
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't, because I think Travis. I think they're gonna

680
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: run more like we talked about. I think Travis Benjamin

681
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy who is going to

682
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: be the number one wide receiver. Let's say if I

683
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: had to pick one, Benjamin goes ahead of ahead of

684
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Tyro Williams. They're you gonna use Gates more two. So

685
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean Williams he's okay. I mean I think this week,

686
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: considering the uh, the matchup, you can you know, you

687
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: can think about playing him, you know, you flex him whatever.

688
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: And it's always easy to say, I'm not sure about

689
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: this guy. He should be flexed. Well, I'm thinking about

690
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: when when I do my rankings this week, Williams will

691
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: probably be somewhere around you know, the thirty four, thirty fifth,

692
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: thirty six wide receiver, which makes him playable depending on

693
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: your format. Again, they're playing the Colts, which is why

694
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be that high. But otherwise yesterday he

695
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: was I mean, six targets. I know it's only I

696
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: know they didn't throw a lot earlier, but he's I'm

697
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: not getting too excited about him. I think he's playable.

698
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a guy that I'm fired up

699
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: about now. A couple other wide receivers on the Patriots,

700
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: at least Danny A. Mendola and Chris Hogan. Hogan's begin

701
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the hype, but Amndola has had a

702
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: pretty good career so far. We can stay on the field,

703
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: just picked up two touchdowns. What these guys do you

704
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: like more? I think I probably like Hogan just because

705
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: a Mendola is almost always going to be the guy

706
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: who you know, when he has the good game, it's

707
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: it might be six for forty six or something, and

708
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: the right we don't know. And I know last I

709
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: didn't see the snaps from yesterday. I know last week

710
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: he was way he was way lower on snaps than

711
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: the other guys, So I don't have to see the

712
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: week two snaps, which which I haven't looked at this

713
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: morning for them, but I'm not. I'm a dull. I'd

714
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: rather I think I'd rather go Hogan. And what about

715
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: this Washington situation. You've got some guys battling for you know,

716
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: third and fourth in targets, Jamison Crowder and Josh Doson

717
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: the rookie I've been I love Crowder. Everyone who listens

718
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: to the show knows that I think he's going to

719
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: end up, you know, finishing second in targets on this

720
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: team by the end of the season. Second year possession

721
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver that runs great routes out of Duke. But

722
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: the other guy, Dockson, he has some red zone potential.

723
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Which of these guys do you like more? I probably

724
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: long term. See the thing with Crowder, I think I

725
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to get out of him. And

726
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: if you're in the PPR league, he's fine, but the

727
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: upside is so limited me. You know, the good in

728
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: the good games, he's gonna be seven for fifty eight,

729
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: right and in the bad games, what if he's three

730
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: for nineteen, then you're in big trouble. Yeah, I think

731
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Dockson look, and I know they threw him, but yesterday

732
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: and they threw him in the red zone a few times,

733
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: which was good. But he also yesterday I think he

734
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: was on the field. I did this this morning. The

735
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: other guys were on, you know, fifty snaps and he

736
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: was on for nineteen. So not yet. I mean maybe

737
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: if you want to, if if there's a stash situation,

738
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: that might be okay. But for right now, I don't

739
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: think you can't make any kind of a bet on

740
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: him to play. Now, who are some other wide receivers

741
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: you like? How do you feel about Bolden or Victor Cruz,

742
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: Tyler boyd Um, that guy from the Jets. I'm losing

743
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: his name right now. That's probably too hard to pronounced anyway, Yeah,

744
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: he's he's the guy. Because Brandon Marshall's status for this

745
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: week we're not sure about. Yeah, and Quincy No, I

746
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: mean that guy. He looks great, you know, and I

747
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: sat there for two games, and I'm thinking that team

748
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: probably they're they're not going to throw enough to support

749
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: three receivers, especially a four day that doesn't make sense.

750
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: But if Marshall's for a couple of weeks, now we

751
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: got a different story because he's kind of you know,

752
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: he's a big guy. He can go up and take

753
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: the ball from people. I mean, he's pretty he looks

754
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean he's a he's like a legit

755
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: player who might be I was, I would say start

756
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: on other teams, but he's basically playing most of the

757
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: time for the Jets. Yeah, so especially if Marshall's out,

758
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: he's I think he's fine this week and they're playing

759
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs, not the greatest of matchups, but he's

760
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: playing so well that you know, I'd be okay rolling

761
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: him out there? Is your favorite this week? Um? For

762
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: if Marshall's out, yes, I mean for short term, I guess.

763
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Williams is probably a little better

764
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: for the long term because I think he's gonna play

765
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: all year whereon as much as I think he's going

766
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: to stay on the field some how many how many numbers?

767
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: What kind of numbers can you put up with Marshall

768
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: and Decker on your team, right, even though they seem

769
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: to like it. So that depends on Marshall, is my answer. There.

770
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick minute to chat about DraftKings dot com,

771
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: who's sponsoring today's show this week. I played DraftKings and

772
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: almost got my hands on some of the pot. I

773
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: ran two lineups. In between the two, I managed the

774
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: roster Cam Newton, C. J. Anderson, Garrett Blount, Arizona's defense,

775
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman, and Larry Fitzgerald. But unfortunately it was all

776
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: split up and the rest of my lineup was was

777
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of bombs like Thomas Rawls. It was a disaster.

778
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,759

793
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: back over to some picks for week three. Now, who's

794
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: the best streaming tight end this week? You know, if

795
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: you've got to go pick someone up, maybe your guy's

796
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: hurt or it's not a good matchup. Who are you

797
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: looking at my streaming tight end for this week? Let's see?

798
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: I think if I have to go, I think one

799
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: of one of our tried and true things is we

800
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: you know, are happy to bet against the Saints with

801
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: a tight end so you can get Jacob Tammy in

802
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: a bunch of weeks, right, yeah, I would think. I mean,

803
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't have the ownership pretenders in front of me,

804
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: but Jacob Tammy in the shorter For some reason, they're

805
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: not throwing a ton to Julio Jones, which I think

806
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: they're going to fix pretty fast. But so far, Tammy's

807
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: got eight targets, Jester, He's got eleven catches in two games.

808
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean last year at sixty catches, that's pretty good.

809
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: So with the Saints coming, I think Tammy's probably the

810
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: guy in target this week. Now, for whatever reason, you

811
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: had Garoppolos your quarterback, or you know, again, someone else

812
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: who's running into a bad matchup. Who's the quarterback that

813
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: you're going to pick up to stream. I'm looking at,

814
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: oh Tannahill against the Browns. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,

815
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's on I'm looking at the Fox Sports

816
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: ownership percentages and he's on twenty percent of leagues. So

817
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: I mean, again, the Browns, they're just they're not good.

818
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: When we've streamed Flacco yesterday in a lot of cases

819
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: when we if we could, he was the target last week, right,

820
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: he was the preferred target I think, and he wasn't fantastic,

821
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: but he you know, through for a couple of touchdowns

822
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: and a pretty decent amount of yards, So if you

823
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: streamed him, it worked, and I think and against that

824
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: Browns defense, it really is right. I mean, they just

825
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: they gutted the team. They're going to be bad all

826
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: year against most teams. I know they almost won yesterday,

827
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: but they mean they were up twenty to two and

828
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: they didn't win because they're no good and the Ravens

829
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: aren't that great either. So yeah, I'm happy streaming Tannahill

830
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: this week. And it looks like DeVante Parker's finally becoming

831
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: the player everyone thought he was going to be. He

832
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: got twelve to twee hundred and six yards. So Tannehill

833
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: has some nice weapons around him. Does he really does?

834
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and I've always been you know, Jordan Cameron's

835
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: not perfect, but I've always been a bit of a fan.

836
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: So he has another look at. If he's your third

837
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: or fourth, let's say, your third target out there, you're

838
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: not doing too bad. He's okay in the receiving game.

839
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: I agree. The one other guy I'd consider if if

840
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: someone snatches up taming Hill before he's dek Prescott. I mean,

841
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't thrown a touchdown yet, but he also hasn't

842
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: thrown a pick. They're going up against Chicago, who's one

843
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: of the worst defenses in the league, and he's deck

844
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: process already thrown seventy five passes in two games. They're

845
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: putting the ball in his hands and let him make plays.

846
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: He's he's a nice, talented quarterback that I think could

847
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: have a big week. Yeah, he's been better than I expected.

848
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, I thought after the preseason it was one

849
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: of those situations where he was gonna he was probably

850
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna see a real NFL defense. But he has and

851
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: he's played finding the Giants. Look, it's not like he

852
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: took a lot of shots downfield best but he took some,

853
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: but he played fine. He didn't take what they didn't

854
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: give him, you know, And maybe he's not at that

855
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: point where he's gonna he's gonna force throws because you

856
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: know he can make him. Knows he can make him.

857
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: But that's okay. We don't want him to be you know,

858
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be Aaron Rodgers. He just has

859
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: to be kind of okay, especially since you can run

860
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: a little bit for fantasy owns. All right, John, let's

861
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: move over to our final segment, and we want to

862
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: talk about stock up stock down. So these are players that,

863
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: based on what you saw last week, who do you

864
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: feel better about the rest of the season. Who do

865
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: you feel worse about. UM will exclude injuries for this

866
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously I'm a lot lower on Adrian Peterson,

867
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: but Russell Wilson for me, he's the quarterback. What is

868
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: going on with him yesterday? I mean I felt like

869
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: I didn't see that coming, but I feel like I

870
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: saw the possibility of that. I mean, part of it

871
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: was his his ankle. Yeah, I know they had all

872
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: last week he was he was Superman and all this

873
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, everybody else would have been out for a week,

874
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: and he didn't even have swelling on his ankle, and

875
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: holy cow, he's the He's a miracle. But you knew

876
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: it was good. Even though he played, he didn't move

877
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: all that well and that probably fixes itself with healing

878
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: at some point. So and plus the Rams yesterday. I

879
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: know we talked about Keenam and he's not good, but

880
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: you kind of had the feeling yesterday at the Rams,

881
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: even after Monday night, they weren't going to roll over

882
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: and die. I don't think the Rams are terrible. I

883
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: just think they're a shade below me the ocre. I

884
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: think they're seven and nine kind of team. And and

885
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: that didn't change. I didn't change my mind on that

886
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: after they lost twenty eight enough until the Niners, and

887
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: I didn't change my mind after they beat the Seahawks.

888
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what they are. So I'm

889
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: not surprised yesterday worked out that way. This home game

890
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: was their super Bowl too. I actually came on the

891
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: podcast last week told everyone pick up the Rams defense

892
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: and I'm picking the Rams to win it. And I'm

893
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: sure people at home laughed at me, but I got

894
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: that one right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna say it

895
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: because I probably won't get too many others right this

896
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: year or so we're good. Yeah, you gotta cry yourself

897
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: on the back. That's fine. And this comes from Saint

898
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: Louis guy who hates the Rams, so they knew I

899
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: meant it, got it. I'm not hate I mean Tyrod Taylor.

900
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: That the Sammy Watkins injury. There are some people who

901
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: were drafting him, who were basically punting quarterback in their

902
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: drafts until really late, and Tyrod Taylor is one of

903
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: the people they were picking right. You know, he was

904
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: ranked by a lot of people, you know, thirteen, fourteen,

905
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: something like that, and people have said, you know, I

906
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: don't have to pick quarterback high. I'll just wait a

907
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: while and I'll have a two headed monster and Tailor's

908
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: gonna be one of my guys. Yeah. And I know

909
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: he put up a bunch of yards last week, but

910
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 1: that wasn't It was kind of the two big touchdown plays.

911
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: One was just a straight go that Williams beat Reeves

912
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: really bad and you're not gonna win, Matt. You're not

913
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna throw Adyard touchdowns all the time. And the other

914
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: one was just sort of a broken play where he scrambled,

915
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 1: and I just I think with Watkins hurt, that team

916
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: seems to be in a little more trouble than we thought,

917
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: and I think we might have to manage Not that

918
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: our expectations are tailor were sky high, but I still

919
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: think we might have to manage him a little better. Yeah,

920
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: he was the real hot name with all those guys

921
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: waiting for quarterbacks, just waiting, Tyrod Taylor, he'll be a

922
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: top six quarterback again, and you know you'll be fine.

923
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: But I'm right there with you, Tyrod Taylor. I'm worried

924
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: post post Sammy Watkins, even though they're going to be

925
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: playing from behind and throwing the ball so much. Another guy,

926
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: Jamis Wins did I mean the first game he was terrific,

927
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: but then he just throws this stinker with four interceptions.

928
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: Didn't look I get it. It It was at Arizona. That's

929
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: a great defense. But just the idea that if you

930
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: start him one week on your fantasy team and he implodes,

931
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: it could cost you the game that makes me want

932
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: to stay away from him. Even if he does have

933
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of upside, I'm still I'm on team Jamis.

934
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: I really like him, and I know he's gonna have

935
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: games like that. But he's another one who He's on

936
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that I have, and those are

937
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: the teams where I said, okay, I'm not gonna you know,

938
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: I don't do the Breeze and Ben and Luck and

939
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: Cam stuff. I wait on my quarterbacks, even for people

940
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: who do what we do, who who most of us

941
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: wait on quarterbacks think I tend to really wait. I'm

942
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: happy to be the last one to draft quarterback, and

943
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: Jamis was one of the people I found myself targeting

944
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: in draft season, and I think overall that's going to

945
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: work out. Now one guy that I feel a lot

946
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: higher on, and you know, he's only really relevant in

947
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 1: two quarterback leagues right now, but it's brock Osweiler. Look,

948
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: he had two interceptions and he was nineteen for thirty three.

949
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: But I watched that game and this looks like quite

950
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. I'm not saying he's going to be

951
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: a QB one or anything, but you know, he was

952
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: going against the Chiefs, right and in week one he

953
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. He's going to Patriots in Week three,

954
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: so you know, Week four, though, he's got Tennessee, he's

955
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: got Indianapolis coming up, the Lions coming up. I like

956
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: his schedule, and I really liked the way Osswiler looked.

957
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I think he's going to grow into this role. He's

958
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: got DeAndre Hopkins, which helps any quarterback. I think Oswiler

959
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: is gonna end up having a very good season, and

960
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: he changed my mind this week just from watching the game.

961
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: But how good. His volume is going to be lower

962
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: than most right we think. I'm not sure they can

963
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: run Miller much. They like to run what fifty three

964
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: carry Drew. Yeah, that's a lot for him coming from

965
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: a team I didn't want to use at all. You're going, yeah,

966
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: it's really interesting, but I see I think as Wilder,

967
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: I think he probably winds up around the you know,

968
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: somewhere between sixteenth and twentieth at the end of the day,

969
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: just because he's not going to throw as much as

970
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: the other guys. Yeah, yeah, that's true to say. Now,

971
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: is there a quarterback that stood out to you that, uh,

972
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: you know, you're moving sliding up your your rankings. Matt Ryan,

973
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: I was somewhat, I don't want to say I was

974
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: bullish and more bullish than other people. I didn't hate

975
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I think some people did. I didn't hate

976
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: him coming into the season because you know, I thought

977
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: the volume was always there for him, and I think

978
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: they would like to become a more run centric team.

979
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: But he's looked good. He threw what thirty I'm looking

980
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: thirty four times yesterday. That's okay. I think he's fine.

981
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Ryan's a great quarterback. I don't

982
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: think he's the you know, top five fantasy guy. We

983
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: thought he was a couple of years ago. But you

984
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: can start, you get away with starting him in a

985
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of weeks, right, especially this week, right exactly. You know,

986
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: after that, they've got a couple of tough ones. You know,

987
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: they have Carolina actually Carolina Dever in Seattle. But after

988
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: that it opens up a little bit. Yeah, and I

989
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm okay with him. He's one of those

990
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: guys if I'm if I'm matchup playing him and he's

991
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: one of two quarterbacks on my roster, I think he

992
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: could do a lot worse. I definitely agree. Let's jump

993
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: over to running backs. Who's someone that really impressed you

994
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: this week and you feel a lot better about not

995
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: t J Yeldon. Certainly, I feel a little better about Crowell,

996
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: and we talked about it earlier that I don't you know,

997
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: he only avers three yards of carry. I don't love him,

998
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to use do more. But

999
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: I think Crowle is a guy who he was probably

1000
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: the thirty fifth running back drafted this year or something

1001
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: like that, somewhere in that area. Yep. And you Jackson

1002
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: wants to run. He's gonna have a tough time doing

1003
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: it with a third string quarterback, but he wants to run,

1004
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,479
Speaker 1: and he would like that guy to to be sort

1005
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: of the banger with Duke coming in as the as

1006
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: the you know, the pass catching sidekick more. And I

1007
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: think if he can get Croll fifteen carries a game,

1008
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: he will. And it seemed yesterday's time struck me again

1009
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: that he was committed to doing that. And it makes

1010
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: me say we put we probably underdrafted cro All a

1011
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: little bit. Two guys for me, the first one is

1012
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: Matt Fourte hit thirty carries and he had the three

1013
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns that everyone knows, but thirty carries. This old guy,

1014
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: they're just gonna give him the ball, and you know

1015
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: he's still got some talent. Going on. The other guy

1016
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: for me is Tevin Coleman, and it looks closer and

1017
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: closer with Coleman and Freeman, and I think it's just

1018
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: only a matter of time before Coleman surpasses him. I

1019
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: think he's the better talent. He watched the film and

1020
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: h and he's a better running back. So um, you know,

1021
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: they wanted him to be the starter last year and

1022
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,959
Speaker 1: Freeman ended up exploding. But it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.

1023
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting my hands all over Tevin Coleman shares and

1024
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait for him to serve or of the rankings.

1025
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: The weird yesterday is that they didn't throw the ball

1026
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: to Freeman. He seems to be he's the better receiver.

1027
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: They did. They threw the ball Coma a few times

1028
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: and not to Freeman at all, which I found constraint.

1029
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, he's a running back that that you just

1030
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: lost a lot of confidence in. This week, I'm gonna

1031
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: say I lost some confidence in Ezekiel Elliott. I don't

1032
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: think he pressed the panic button. If you drafted him,

1033
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: it's certainly I got. He got forty one carries in

1034
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: two games. That's hard to argue with, and he's gonna

1035
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: run behind a great offensive line, but he got taken

1036
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: out yesterday after his second fumble, and Alfred Morris is

1037
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: actually running well. Now. Now, I came into this season

1038
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: thinking Ezekiel it's not going to get the three hundred

1039
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: and ninety carries that DeMarco Murray got, but he's probably

1040
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna get two seventy five or so, maybe a little more.

1041
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: And now I just wonder how much Alfred Morris is

1042
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: going to eat into that. I don't think it's going

1043
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: to be a straight time share. I don't think Albert

1044
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: Mars is going to overtake him. But if I drafted

1045
00:49:53,880 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott seventh overall, I think I'd be not buyers worse,

1046
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: but I'd be a little worried. I can't really find

1047
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: anyone on this list because everybody that I feel worse

1048
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: about is injured. There's just so many injured running backs.

1049
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, rested me to pick someone. It's Jeremy Hill.

1050
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: Eleven rushing rushes for twenty two yards. He's just going

1051
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: to be so reliant on those those touchdowns. And sure

1052
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: he has a good red zone running back, but you

1053
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: know he's the clear number two behind Bernard at this point,

1054
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, Jeremy Hills the same player

1055
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: as Charles Simms, except he's not the you know, he's

1056
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: not going to be catching as many balls. You know,

1057
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: it's just on the same level as Sims. And that's

1058
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: not where Hill was drafted. So I'm losing confidence there.

1059
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: But I mean Hill was drafted. He wasn't drafted high

1060
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: this year, right, I mean, I feel like I feel

1061
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: like that team. They go from game to game, and

1062
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: last year, I'll admit they played the Steelers three times

1063
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: and and Geo was on the short end of the

1064
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: stick work Cloud was so yesterday I did surprise me

1065
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. Was probably it was because they were down.

1066
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: But Hill, you know, he's the guy who I feel like,

1067
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: next next week or next week to Broncos, which isn't easy,

1068
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: next week in a week after and Hill comes back

1069
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: with sixteen carries and a touchdown or two, I'm not

1070
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: going to be shocked, like I feel like he last

1071
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: year he was kind of up and down too, So

1072
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't love him, But I don't think I'm as

1073
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: worried as you sound like you are. You know, I

1074
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: was low on Hill to begin the season with. But

1075
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at our expert consensus rankings right

1076
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: before the draft started, and they had Jeremy Hill number forty,

1077
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: just ahead of Eric Decker, Jarvis Landry overall. Okay overall? Yeah,

1078
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: and uh I was I was amazed by that. Because

1079
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: of that, I wasn't touching Jeremy Hill. But you know

1080
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: right now I would draft him about eighty year ninety

1081
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: maybe I just I withdraw sims. So yeah, that was

1082
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: too that would have been too high for me. And

1083
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 1: I saw him a couple of yays. I just missed

1084
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: him in the sixth round of the league and that

1085
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: sounded about right to me. All right. Then, finally, wide receivers,

1086
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: who's someone that really exploded for you this week? And

1087
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: for me it's Travis Benjamin and Travis Benjamin. Yeah, if

1088
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: you were listening to the show last week, I am

1089
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: so sorry that I told you Travis Benjamin wasn't gonna

1090
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: have a good week. I didn't believe it. He didn't

1091
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: do anything as the wide receiver one in Cleveland. And

1092
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: it's the same kind of situation I think of Philip

1093
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: Rivers and Josh McCown is it's some similar type of quarterbacks.

1094
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin proved me wrong. He had a he had

1095
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: a great week and he looked impressive too. I think

1096
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: he can sustain this. I think he can too. I mean,

1097
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday it was a really big day for him.

1098
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: I do think they're going to spread the ball around

1099
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: a bit. But like I said earlier when we were

1100
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: talking about Tyrell William, but I think Travis Benjamin is

1101
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: going to be the the number one option there because

1102
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: he just he has the speed he has is just

1103
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: something that no one else there has anything like. So

1104
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: and you know, actually saw someone say today that that

1105
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: Rivers has never had anyone with that kind of speed either. Yeah,

1106
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: so it's interesting and I wonder how they're going to

1107
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: use him. But you know, I saw the one touchdown

1108
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: that he went across the middle. But I think they're

1109
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: gonna find ways to use him because especially with Keenan

1110
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: Allen out, you know, they've got a tinker and a

1111
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: guy with that kind of talent speed. Anyway, they're going

1112
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: to have to figure out a good way to use.

1113
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: I think they're going to put him in some good

1114
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: positions to do things. Another guy that that stands out

1115
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: to me, is Jeremy Macklin. I mean, you know, he

1116
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: was shut down by Verette against the Chargers just because

1117
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the way that it goes when you play

1118
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But this week Alex Smith went right back

1119
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: to him fifteen targets. Granted he only got six for

1120
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards. He didn't have a touchdown, but just

1121
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: the volume of targets, you know, against a team like

1122
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: Houston shows me that they're going to keep relying on

1123
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: him the same way they did at the end of

1124
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: last season. And because of that, his stock went way

1125
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: up in my mind. Yeah, he's I mean, he's he's

1126
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, enough of where you're gonna get. You kind

1127
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: of know what his floor is, you know, and he

1128
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: might surpass the floor, especially with the running back situation

1129
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: being a little murky, even though they're all kind of

1130
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're good enough there, even with Charles Hurt

1131
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: or if when he comes back in the using committee.

1132
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, Mac, what I mean, you know, last year

1133
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: he stepped in that situation on a team that that

1134
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: was not very wide receiver friendly for fantasy owners, and

1135
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: he caught eighty seven passes, I know, you know, and

1136
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: the touchdowns were fine and the yardage was just kind

1137
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: of okay. But but I think they're going to use

1138
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: him enough that if you drafted him, you don't have

1139
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: anything to worry about with machl Yep, yep, definitely agree.

1140
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: And then finally we have to talk abouts to find

1141
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: Diggs right. One hundred and eighty two yards. Again, I

1142
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: was wrong. I'm sorry, guys, I was wrong about Diggs.

1143
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: He's he was really improved this offseason, and I was

1144
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: not buying the height, but I am now I give in.

1145
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: But how much hype was there? I feel like the

1146
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: people who liked him had him ranked about thirtieth at

1147
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean, I think I had him thirty

1148
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: ninth or fortieth, and the people who liked him say,

1149
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I really like him. He's going to

1150
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: be a good wide receiver. Three I don't think, I mean,

1151
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: no one saw this coming. I don't think this is

1152
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna keep up. He's not gonna catch eight passes a

1153
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: game or one hundred yards. But but he's really good,

1154
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: and I know there are people who recognize how good

1155
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: he was, but probably still thought that the numbers would

1156
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: be suppressed by the style of play. For that team,

1157
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: that they're going to be run heavy and that the

1158
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: quarterback wasn't that eight. So I think he's I mean,

1159
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: he's surpassing every expectation absolutely. Um, is there anybody else

1160
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: for you? John? Yeah? He was the one I was

1161
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: going to say, so, I mean other than him and

1162
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: again Quincy and now him life if can we mentioned

1163
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: Will Foller two? Yeah? I was totally out on Will

1164
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: Foller and and there's he's gonna have some boom and

1165
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: bust to his game because of the type of receiver

1166
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: he is. But he's over one hundred yards twice and

1167
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: Oswalder seems to like thrown to him last week. Could

1168
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: ever do that? Yeah? This week he got seven targets.

1169
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: I mean it's not great, but it's not I mean

1170
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: it's fine. No, you're not asking him to get fifteen

1171
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins or or or Antonio Brown. You know,

1172
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: he's fine. He's playable based on the matchup. I mean

1173
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely And I thought, you know, I bought

1174
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: into the you know, well, there's too many drops and

1175
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: they're run centric team and they have Hopkins and they're

1176
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: not going to throw this guy all. They're finding ways

1177
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: to get him the ball, and they with the type

1178
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: of playmaker he can be, they probably should. Alan Robinson

1179
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: had five targets and they were playing from the guy

1180
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: behind virtually the whole game. Is this just the Vrette,

1181
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, matchup or is there a real reason to

1182
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: be concerned here? No? I think it's the matchup. I

1183
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: don't think that was terribly surprising. I mean, you want

1184
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: more targets than that. But you know, he didn't have

1185
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: a great matchup, and I think coming up he has

1186
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: some good ones coming. So I don't know what his

1187
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: prices at draftings and vandel, but he's the guy I

1188
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 1: definitely look very closely at this week because I think

1189
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: you're going to get a little bit of a benefit

1190
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: from his first two games not being so great. Who

1191
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: is somebody that you know that went backwards for you

1192
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: this week? I went backwards for me this week, man,

1193
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: I need to think about that just a little bit.

1194
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: Not beck I mean Beckham's fine. I wish he hadn'

1195
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: dropped that touchdown crying out loud. I don't know what

1196
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: that was about. But who went backwards this week? Nobody? Really?

1197
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Colts had such a tough matchup that

1198
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: you almost want to give him a pass for that

1199
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: one and think that it's not you can mock that,

1200
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: but he was questionable to begin with, and they have

1201
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: to that's a great defense. What are you gonna do? Right?

1202
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 1: So I don't think any I don't have any wide

1203
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: receivers that that I'm just soured on based on how

1204
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,080

1206
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: out of Floyd this week once he was getting away

1207
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: from Belichick scheme to shut him down, but it didn't happen.

1208
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,919

1209
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,640

1214
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: pretty happy about it, thinking he was going to be

1215
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,200
