I'm all in, Greggy, absolutely, we 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.080 will do all of that. We will also go back 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.000 to Thursday night, give you the Thursday Night recab, and 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.160 of course answer your questions a little bit later on 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.800 in today's program. We know you have questions, we have answers. Frank, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.880 let's get right into it. With the first game being 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.280 the Denver Broncos traveling to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.200 It will be Jeff DRIs School's first career start. A J. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.760 Green is back in the lineup. Gail. Lot of questions 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.440 this week, Frank in regards to A J. Green and 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.800 with Tyler Boyd, how Jeff Driscle affects them. Where do 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.560 you have these guys in your rankings? What do you think? 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.280 So A J. Green obviously takes a little bit of 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.200 a hit here. He's not the normal wide receiver one 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.400 that we would see with Andy Dalton. And that doesn't 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.520 mean that Andy Dalton is a great quarterback. But Jeff 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.840 Driscoll is making his first career start for a reason. 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.480 He's a you know, he's a backup quarterback in the NFL. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.320 So A J. Green takes a little bit of a hit. 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.960 He's a mid range wide receiver too, rather than the 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.440 normal wide receiver one, the top twelve guy that we 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.760 would expect him to be. Plus how healthy is he exactly? 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.519 I think you have to have some speculation on that. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.280 Uh So he's not the normal wide receiver one that 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.160 you would get Tyler Boyd. If you look at the 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.960 splits from when Tyler Boyd, often when a J. Green 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.200 is in the lineup versus when he's not, the only 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.959 effect that it has on Tyler Boyd is whether or 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.840 not Tyler Boyd is scoring touchdowns. And I think that 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.760 makes a lot of sense if you look at their 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.280 split when a J. Green is in and out of 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.800 the lineup, the yardage is basically the same on a 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.320 per game basis for Tyler Boyd. And we actually saw 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.160 him score a touchdown a week ago with Jeff driscool 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.280 as the quarterbacks. So again, everyone takes a little bit 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.440 of a downgrade here because Jeff DRIs school is the 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.120 starting quarterback for this team, But Tyler Boyd unquestionably scores 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.800 more touchdowns when a J. Green is in the lineup. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.239 It just opens up, you know, more of the defense 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.880 for him, I will say it's a little bit of 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.919 a tougher matchup. He's gonna face Chris Harris, the strong 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.280 slot corner for the Denver Broncos. He's more of the 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.400 low end wide receiver two rather than the high end 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.200 wide receiver too we would normally see from Tyler Boyd. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.760 For Joe Mixon, the Denver Broncos rush defense, Greg, they've 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.120 turned around like they've turned a corner. They were getting 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.680 run all over earlier on in the season, but basically 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.760 over the last five six games they've they've pretty much 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.480 done in about face A one eight. So for Joe Mixon, um, 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.920 it's a tougher matchup. He's again he's not the RB 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.440 one normally because of Jeff dRIT School, the backup quarterback. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.960 But he actually saw seven targets last week, Greg, and 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.000 he caught all seven of those. And I actually think 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.960 that Joe Mixon should be used more in the passing game. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.760 And I think the fact that Driscoll is the quarterback 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.800 here might lead to more dump offs. I mean, the 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.080 Broncos have a strong pass rush. How you defeat a 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.400 pass rush, let them come right at you. You throw 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.800 some short screen passes, you throw some flare outs to 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.880 the to the running back. So Joe Mixing high end 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.160 r B two, I'm tempering expectations. I'm not completely getting 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.760 off the Bengals offense, Jeff, just because Driscoll is the quarterback. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.640 They still have a lot of talented pieces, Greg, They 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.520 have a ton of talented pieces on the outside and 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.560 on the inside. With Joe Mixing, I think cj Usama 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.599 I always go with the young quarterback, the rookie quarterbacks, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.840 relying on their tight ends, relying on players they practice 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.960 with a lot, and cjr. Zamma started the season as 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.480 a backup tight end. A little connection there with Jeff Drisco. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.360 Maybe there's something there so far thirteen targets last week, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.800 Greig exactly, Yeah, I got him at tight end fifteen. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.720 So he's in that streaming conversation. Yeah. I truly believe 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.800 Usama could be a major benefactor of Jeff Joschuh taking 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.520 over the starting quarterback. I think they'll rely on the 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.360 run game a lot, or Buddy Jim Sana is over 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.960 at Fandel and Number Fire really like Joe Mixing for 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.560 this exact reason, because they think they're gonna have to 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.760 rely on him now. Like you said, the Denver defense 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.480 the better as of late. But in Cincinnati, gonna have 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.760 any shot, it's gonna be Joe Mixon n c JA. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.960 What is the spread here, by the way, Yeah, this 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.640 is a weird one. I believe the Broncos are favored 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.120 by like five, they're five points. That's a lot of 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.720 point there, five point road favorites right now. It's a 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.800 lot of points. Denver Broncos, you know, from a betting perspective, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.840 probably not touching this game at all. Uh And look, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.039 we know how bad the Bengals defense has been there 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.320 pretty much in the category as the Tampa Bay Bucks. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.560 You want to try and start as many Denver Broncos 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.679 as you possibly can. With that being said, Philip Lindsay, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.360 he gets no respect. He's inside the top twelve at 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.360 running back on the season. He's an RV one. People 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.040 don't realize that. They look at him, they think, you know, 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.920 smaller guys scat back. If you don't own Philip Lindsay, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.640 you might not realize how good he's been for fantasy 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.839 purposes this year. So obviously you're getting him in your 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.520 lineup for season long. But even in DFS perspectives, Greg, 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.719 I think Philip Lindsay is in a great spot here, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.640 um or Matt la Coss. We'll talk about the tight 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.080 end position just because Case Kingdom has targeted the tight 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.920 end this year, whether it's been you know, our guy 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.200 Jeff Hireman Gregg. They wanted Jake but to be a 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.719 thing coming into this season. Obviously he landed on I 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.320 are very early, but mate, Lacosse score a touchdown last 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.880 week and the Bengals have just bled fantasy points to 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.520 every position, specifically the tight end as well. So I 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.080 think Matt Lacosse similar to Usama is in that streaming conversation, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.000 I would actually start Lacosse over Usama if you're looking 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.680 for that tight end. And then Emmanuel Sanders dealing with 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.320 the heal injury. He said, you know, it's kind of 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.960 just like a maintenance thing at this point in the season. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.279 Everyone's a little bit dinged up. But playing in the slot, 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.760 we just saw what his upside was a week ago. Again, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.760 make sure you get Emmanuel Sanders in there. He's a 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.039 he's a mid range wide receiver. Two. Yeah, Amanuel Sanders 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.240 obviously has to get in there and give it all 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.320 the targets that he has gotten over the past couple 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.279 of weeks in court and Son, you gotta hope he 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.120 turns around. It's the right matchup for him. Frank, will 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.760 he finally produce something? I? I think that obviously it 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.120 remains to be seen. We're staying away from this game 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.240 from a betting perspective. However, Miami and Buffalo that's up 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.520 next is a game that is not very fun. Kenny 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.000 Drake is expected to be out there for Miami. Buffal 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.760 Those defense, we say, there's a lot, We've kind of 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.919 talked them up a whole bunch on our show, but 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.400 the Buffalo defense is is legitimately good and in this 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.040 magic against Ryan Tadnell and let's be let's beak fair man. 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.480 He's better with Ryan Townell quarterbacks, like Buffalo is better 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.040 with Josh Allen at quarterback. Um, but the Buffalo defense 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.200 is impressive. UM. Are you using Frank Gore and or 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.040 Kenyan Drake this week for Miami? I think they're both 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.160 in the flex discussion. We know that Kenyan Drake suffered 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.360 from the solder injury week ago. You know, we've talked 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.160 about it all week where he went down and you 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.680 kind of thought he was done, but he also he 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.400 has that upside where any given week he can give 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.920 you two touchdowns like like we just saw. But the 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.800 usage from Adam Gates, like I'm praying, I'm hoping that 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.480 Adam Gates is not part of the Miami Dolphins next year. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.840 Obviously a lot depends on how they close out the 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.240 rest of the season. I think they're in the flex discussion, right, 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.080 So I like Kenyan Drake. I just think there's a 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.440 little bit more upside. Frank Gore does get more carries consistently, 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.800 but Kenyan Drake we know used in the past game 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.600 as well, and the Buffalo Bills haven't been so great 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.240 against running backs season is. But I think that's really 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.640 it for the Miami Dolphins. Like you're not using Tannehill 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.280 even in the Super Flex league, Like you don't want 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.880 any part of that. I think the Bill's defense, obviously 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.400 for for fantasy purposes, is in play here. Ryan Tannehill 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.520 typically does not play well against the Buffalo Bills. I know, 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.240 you know, if you listen to sports Rage against the 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.320 Machine or you listen to Our Guy Game Maurency, he's 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.400 gonna talk a lot about that. Typically Throughout the past, 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.760 Ryan Tannehill has not played well against the Buffalo Bills. 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.000 So I actually like the Bills from a betting perspective. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.600 Getting five points in this game, um, but not really 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.280 touching anything else besides Drake in the flex at Frank Bore. 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.280 I don't really want to do it on the Bills 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.400 side of the football. Normally we're like, you don't want 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.880 to start any Bills either. I don't think that's necessarily 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.240 the case this week for Lashawn McCoy going up against 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.680 the Miami Dolphins, who are allowing a hundred and twenty 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.320 two rushing yards per game to opposing running backs four 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.080 point eight four yards per carry, the seventh highest in 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.480 the NFL. They've allowed at least a hundred and seventy 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.480 five total yards to running backs in back to back games. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.200 What do we normally say about running backs and specifically 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.480 Leshaw McCoy. You look at his career splits. When he 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.960 has a quarterback who can run the football, he is 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.120 much more effective. Josh Allen just ran for ninety nine 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.480 yards last week. Maybe he can't make all the throws yet. 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.960 Remember he's just a rookie, but he is a threat 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.160 to take off. When Lesha McCoy has a quarterback that 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.840 can run, he is much better. He's in a very 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.400 good spot this week going up against the Miami Dolphins. 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.600 Back to back games for Leshaw McCoy with at least 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.520 seventeen carries. I know he's let a lot of fantasy 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.080 owners down this season. For me, he checks in as 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.959 a low nd RB two, which is higher than where 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.800 he's been the past couple of weeks. Leshaw McCoy has 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.760 been one of those weird guys this year, Frank, where 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.280 I just don't own him anywhere. So I have no 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.959 idea what he's done, right, you know, you don't done nothing. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.319 He's done nothing because you don't me. In the preseason, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.600 giving all the his legal troubles I thought were coming, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.680 I just stayed away. I just would not want to 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.520 get involved. Thank you. I'm not asking you the pat 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.640 on the back. I'm just asking because yeah, he's better 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.360 with a running quarterback. But it's a possible that Lesha 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.920 mcoy just finally lost the step that we've all we're 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.400 all waiting for the cart just to fall off the mountain, 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.160 right like we all wanted to be a year earlier 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.360 than a year late for McCoy. Is that's what's happened, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.120 or it's been the offensive line, it's been the quarterback 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.480 in Buffalo, Well, yeah, it's been a combination of a 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.600 bunch of things. He there's definitely a chance that he's 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.480 lost a step, but I mean they were playing games 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.000 with Nate, Nate Peterman, Gregg and it's like the Bill's 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.160 defense hasn't played bad, but when you have a quarterback 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.959 like Nate Peterman, it's like how much can your offense 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.720 actually do? So I think it's a combination of things. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.679 Obviously there's a lot of wear and tear all in 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.360 the Shaw McCoy at this point in his career, and 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.720 just having those quarterbacks it doesn't help you. So I 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.000 think the fact that Josh Allen played well last week 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.439 it's a good good spot for Leshaw McCoy just to 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.520 Miami Dolphins. Like if this was a more competent running back, 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.800 I feel even more confident. But because it's Leshawn McCoy 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.400 and he hasn't been great, he just barely sneaks in 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.160 as a low nd RB two, But I do like him. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.160 This week, Dolphins are a three and a half point 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.360 favorite at home against Buffalo. That line is moving, isn't. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.600 People are buying in on the Bills. Oh my gosh, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.840 where did it start? I can give you that in 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.480 a second, but I know it was like it was 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:05.320 just like five and a half for Miami. That makes sense. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.400 Oh yeah, No, Miami now three and a half way 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.920 favorites um at home against Buffalo. Frank any any more 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.360 on this game before we move on? No, this game 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.240 opened at Miami six and a half. Gregan six and 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:22.240 a half. Yeah, Bills Mafia coming in hard here, Greg Awesome, awesome? Okay? Uh? 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.080 Next up for us this is Chicago Bears visiting the 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.360 Giants Giants for four point Dogs at home. Chase Daniel 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.600 most likely getting the start for Chicago in this one. 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.760 People are backing on the Giants for some reason, or 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.120 were they were last week before they blew a nineteen 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.640 three lead against the Eagles. Khalil Mack Bears coming for it. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.440 That really prolific Giants offense. What do you think about 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.840 this one? Frankie Bear's obviously the number one defense fantasy 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.960 this week. I know that there's a lot of streaming defense, Like, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.200 there's more streaming defenses this week than I think in 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.480 any week that we've seen fantasy football this season. Bears 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:56.800 are still number one if you want to use them 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.720 in DFS. I have no problems with it. But for 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:05.000 the the Giants weapons, it's look at Sae Kwon Barkley. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.520 I don't care that he's going up against the Bears, 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.240 who are extremely you know, stout against the run. This year, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.520 they're extremely stingy when it comes to yards per carry. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.640 They're allowing sixties seven rushing yards per game to opposing 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.240 running backs greg three point four yards per carry, So 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.480 they've been good. But it's still Sae Kwon Barkley. You know, 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.880 he's a lot for twenty plus touches unless the Giants 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.520 figure out in the second half of this game that 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.000 they're tanking and then and then they'll do what they 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.040 did last week. You mentioned that Chicago is the number 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.480 one defense. Is love streaming defenses, but hey, Chicago is 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.040 number one. I do have a question that I've gotten 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.640 on Twitter a bunch this week, and that's about the 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.640 Chicago defense. The next two weeks for Chicago in the 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.000 fantasy playoffs, they faced the Rams and the Packers back 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.880 to back. They're the number one defense. What do you 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:47.640 do well, that Rams matchup is definitely daunting, but we've 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.200 seen that even in high scoring games against the Rams. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.600 The Kansas City Chiefs had it at a very very 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.960 big defensive day as well. So you know, Jared Goff, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.760 he gets it done for the Los Angeles Rams, but 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.520 he's like any quarterback. I mean, if you put pressure 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.400 on him, he's gonna be prone to making mistakes. So 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.880 I just think the fact that this Bears defense is 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.640 as potent as it is their secondary, that's the way 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.920 to try and beat up on them. They have a 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.360 great defensive line, they have a great front seven. Uh, 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.520 they could get after the quarterback. I'm just gonna continue 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.240 to roll with them. I'm gonna use them against the Rams. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.240 And then you could say, oh, it's the Packers, But 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.880 is it really the Packers? This is what we've talked 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.719 about all week. Strip the name off the back of 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.480 the jersey. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been as good this season, 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.000 and in Week one it was pretty good against green 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.200 the Green Bay Packers, and that game was in Green Bay. 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.800 The Bears have actually played much better at home this season. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.080 Both those games against the Rams and the Packers are 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.400 at home. I'm not worried about the Bears. Let's go 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.800 back to the Bears this week where they are away 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.040 on the road in New York. You mentioned the defense, 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.200 he mentioned skill position players. Um, let me get to 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.920 the Bears skill position players. You've talked all week about 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.360 just the who you can start on this team. There 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.800 was nobody you were really comfortable with. You said, Jarik Cohen. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.000 Where is he in your rankings this week? Would you 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.520 can check out by the Way Road Expers dot com. 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.640 He checks in as a flex option. He's more of 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.840 a high and flex just because I think Chase Daniel's 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.760 gonna lean on him a little bit. And there's been 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.480 a direct correlation between when the Giants traded away Snacks Harrison, 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.200 their run defense has just gone downhill. Gregg and we're 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.079 talking about they have a lot of rushing touchdown to 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.600 a running back in six straight games. I know that's 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.440 not Trecohen's forte. He's gonna do his work in the 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.240 past game. But we saw Chase Daniel on Thanksgiving lean 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.160 on him a little bit. Trecohen had the receiving touchdown. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.840 I think we see a little bit more of that. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.600 The Giants not necessarily the best tacklers. They're giving up 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.800 the big fantasy production to running backs because of that. Like, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.280 I don't want to sit here and condone Jordan Howard, 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.320 but this is like a great matchup. So if you're 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.840 in a super tough spot, he's a low end flex 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.640 option just because of the matchup. If nothing else. I 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.880 will admit he has not looked great. He there They 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.080 their offenses looks better when Jordan Howard is not on 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.520 the field. So you know that's not the best uh, 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.600 you know, invite like it's it's just not the best 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.360 advocation for Jordan Howard. But it's just the matchup doesn't 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.880 get much better than this for the against the New 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.840 York Giants. So I like Tarred Cohen better. Um the 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.600 Chase Daniel gonna lean on him a little bit for 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.720 the other past catchers like Trey Burton. He got seven 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.840 targets last week, but he did nothing with those targets. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.520 And we know that Chase Daniel isn't a guy that's 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.360 going to you know, throw the ball down the field 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.720 and really try and let it loose. Allen Robinson and 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.840 Anthony Miller. I don't want to start these guys, I think, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.240 you know, Anthony Miller's outside of my top thirty six. 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.760 Allen Robinson is a low end wide receiver three For me, 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.360 the Giants have been strong against wide receivers, so it's 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.720 really just Tarik Cohen and the Bears defense, right, Like, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.360 those are the ones that I feel best about. If 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.120 you're in a tough predicament. I could see Jordan Howard 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.760 as a flex again, I don't really want to do it, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.080 but it's just such a great matchup against the New 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.600 York Giants. That's really it for when it comes to 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.560 the side, like you're starting your studs on the giant 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.920 side of the football. Sterling Shepherd has been mostly a letdown. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.760 Evan Ingraham probably don't see him in this game, so 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.200 um not really the most fantasy and treating game, I'd 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.920 say fair enough. Obviously, you do the the offensive players 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.480 from New York se Kwon Barkley back and you're not 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.520 gonna bend them. But for the Bears, Frank's right, I 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.120 would use three color and really nobody else. Nobody really 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.920 interest me as well, Frankie. I'll get to our picks 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.480 of course later on in today's program. Next game up. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.120 Before we hit our first break, we mentioned the Packers. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.720 You're saying they're not the same old Packers. Let's go 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.880 there next. Green Day hosts the Arizona Cardinals. That spread, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.320 I believe is the biggest on the board. Here are 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.240 the second biggest one on the board. There's a fourteen 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.320 point spread as home favorites. We've gotten the Aaron Rodgers 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.800 relaxed week here with Green Madue. What do you think, Yeah, 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.560 it's a lot of points here. I'm not you know, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.520 I'm not. This isn't a game that I'm jumping on 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.000 from a betting perspective, obviously, but Aaron Rodgers continue to 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.480 talk about it. Strip the name off the back of 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.840 the Jersey yards and one touchdown against the mint of 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.280 Soota Vikings a week ago. Arizona Cardinals defense is not 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.160 where it used to be. They still have a solid 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.720 pass rush. You're looking at Aaron Jones. He's the one 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.480 that you want in this game. You're obviously still starting 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.000 Davante Adams. There's no wide receiver two of note. Our 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.800 guy m V S. Marquez Valda Scandling has seemingly fallen 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.440 off the face of the earth. Uh Equanimius Brown has 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.960 actually seen more work than him so it's really just 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.200 Aaron Jones, Aaron Rodgers. He's outside of my top twelve. Greg. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.440 I'm gonna roll with guys like Jamis Winston that you 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.359 might have picked up, Lamar Jackson that you might have 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.440 picked up. And for the Cardinals fitz Gerald high and 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:17.480 Wide Receiver three, David Johnson High n RB two. This game, 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.760 we take a break here. Randall cop expected back for 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.560 Green May a whole lot more to every game on 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:31.359 Sunday coming up next.
