Speaker 1: in the world. This is I want your flex with

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon. Mike and Dan break down

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: everything you need to set your lineups, from position rankings

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: to starts and sits. The guys help you make those

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: hard decisions. And now let's get your flex on. Here's

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Friday is here, Mike Harmon is here. I'm here, Ryan Bersing,

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: our executive producers. Here it is. I want your flex

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: Week four packers and lions in the books. So now

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: let's look ahead to the weekend. No doubleheader Monday night

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: football in Week four, thank goodness for that. We are

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: gonna have to wait on the status of Saquon Barkley

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more, but things are trending good, something

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: to keep our eye on. Let's waste no time, Mike Harmon.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: Let's get into your top rankings, your top five players

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: at the quarterback, running back, and wide receiver position four

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: Week four of the NFL season, and I think lightning

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: will strike at number one in your quarterback spot. Let's

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: get to your top five quarterbacks for week four.

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: We got a bunch of the usual names. We'll just

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: jumble them up for giggles, shall we hear? Going into

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: week four, how about Justin Herbert? Yeah, the defense still

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: can't figure anything out, and the well Las Vegas Raiders

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: are can we just say not good at this point.

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: A little concern with Mike Williams going out, But we'll

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: talk about Palmer, We'll talk about Johnston, we'll talk about

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: the possible return of Austin Eckler to the mix to

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: keep that offense rolling along. So I think the machine

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: that is Justin Herbert from a fantasy perspective, keeps on Eventually.

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: Folks in Los Angeles would like to see a W

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: or two strung along as well. Number two, you've got

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. I ain't afraid to know Jets because

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: that defense will get after Zach Wilson in front of

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, terrorizing the young man. She'll have to go

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: over and do some conant consoling of old Wilson's mom

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: along the way. But the offense is just gonna start

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: getting better and better each week. As Kelsey you saw

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: against the Bears, another opportunity here, short fields, make it happen.

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: Josh Allen going up against Miami, a game that could

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: become one of those fun shootout moments for US gave

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: Davis expecting more of a role from him. Yeah, the

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: touchdown was nice, especially if it help you stave off

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: elimination in a guillotine league like it did for me.

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: But looking for Allan with his legs, make it plays

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: and for that offense to get clicking as well. Clicking click,

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: click click. Joe Burrow going up against Tennessee. He doesn't

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: have to move very much here, he's not running the football.

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: You can go against the poorest secondary opportunity here, and

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: the Bengals should be able to give him a couple

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: of short fields. Going up against Tannehill and what is

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: right now a putrid offense. And finally for that fifth spot,

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: Captain Kirk. Jalen hurts to a tongue of Vila. I'm

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: gonna lead toward Captain Kirk again because the defense is terrible.

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna need to keep gunning. Yeah, I know it's

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: against Caroline. I don't care. It's all about desperation. It's

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: all about grinding things out. And right now you're looking

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: at a player in Kirk Cousins. Take the fantasy gold

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: while it is there.

61
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: All right, there they were your top five quarterbacks that

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: knew Justin Herbert would be in the list. Yeah, but

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: no Tuoa. But you do get some Josh Allen in

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: Mike's top five this week. All right, let's jump over

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: to the running backs. Forty nine ers have a game

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals. Could see some CMC. How is what

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Kyen Williams gonna do for the Rams as they take

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: on the Colts. Just some of the names you may hear's.

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Mike Carmon gives you his top five running backs for

70
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: Week four of the NFL season.

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: All Right, we're gonna go with the Chalk. I took

72
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: him first overall, and thus far he has not disappointed me.

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: There'll be no letdown here San Francisco going up against Arizona.

74
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Give me Christian McCaffrey to have himself a day, a

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: man on a mission, a team on a mission, and

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: a team that just maybe they watched more of the

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: Cardinals Cowboys tape than the Cowboys did this week? Right,

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: one of those Burnett situations for them for the forty

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: nine ers, don't get caught flat footed in a divisional game.

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Big effort here for McCaffrey number two. This might be

81
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: one that Dan Byer loves a lot. Kenneth Walker going

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: up against the New York Football Giants, power running, getting

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: some balance, establishing balance in the force, and what we've

84
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: seen from the Giants they've played two good quarters of

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: football thus far this season. Opportunity to go and punch

86
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: them in the mouth once again. For the Seahawks coming

87
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: up at number three, Let's go with Travis etn Why

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: because I want to see that little toy story figure

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: of him run around. Yeah, I know I'm making the

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: obvious jokes for the television play, but looking for he's

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: got to have a big touch count for this offense

92
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: to get moving if they are going, how about a

93
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: little surprise and a newbie to the group, And that's

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna go with Kyron Williams as a little bit

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: of a shocker sleeper. Maybe he should have gone to

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 3: the Ninjas, but I'm gonna get him into the top

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: five here. Going up against Indianapolis, Opportunity knocks, still waiting

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: for the big play to break off and then finally, finally,

99
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: desperation a stinky Cologne. The matchup is right, Josh Jacobs

100
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: cracks our top five going up against the Chargers defense.

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: Look for a solid workload. As we sat here and

102
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: commenced the committal to our digital files here, we don't

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: know if Garoppolo is going to be available, and if

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: he is, does he finish? Is it an aid and O'Connell.

105
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Either way, I think you're gonna see a big workload

106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: from Jacobs in this one against a struggling Chargers d.

107
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: I completely got burned by Kenneth Walker in Week three

108
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: against Carolina. I just for some reason after the output

109
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: that he had against the Lions, and we two, Michael,

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: he's not going to score back, you know, two touchdowns

111
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: and consecutive games. What do you know he did? He

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week and now

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: he's number two in Harmon's rankings. As the Seahawks are

114
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: in New York to face the Giants on Monday night,

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: still keeping our tabs on the status of Saquon Barkley.

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the wide receivers in week four,

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: some familiar names and Mike's top five. Take it away, Mike, Hey.

118
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: Let's get it started. Big game on Monday night, receptions

119
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: loading up. How about we double down with Jamar Chase

120
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: with a big effort coming up against Tennessee. Yeah, it's

121
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: on the road, but you're looking at a Tennessee squad

122
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: porus in the secondary offense still with a bunch of questions.

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry, I wanted to call him Travis Henry for

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: a moment. Yeah, that's where I'm at in what Derrick

125
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: Henry looks like the end of Travis Henry's career right now,

126
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: falling forward. But opportunity for the Bengals defense to give

127
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: the opportunity to Burrow in company to make some magic.

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: And Jamar Chase cash is in Devonte Adams. You know

129
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: how you get a guy ready to be traded, You

130
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: showcase him against a bad defense. And I think the

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: workload here, whether it's Garoppolo, whether it's O'Connell, whether it's

132
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: Brian Hoyer, someone sneaks in and gives you an opportunity

133
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: to make some plays. And I think he had a

134
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: heavy workload heading into this one for Devonte Adams. Number three.

135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen stats for days. The running joke around the

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: office with our guys, Steve de Sager on the updates.

137
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: Carrying around is keenan Allen stats book. I think it's

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: just dedicated to him at this point, given all the

139
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: opportunities he's had, and with Mike Williams out, and really

140
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: it's an easy pitch and catch, as we watched last week,

141
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: keep those flowing against a bad Raiders secondary Tyreek Hill

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: against Buffalo. Everybody wants to see the matchup. He talked

143
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: about becoming a film star. Maybe that happens later on

144
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: in his life. Maybe it was all a joke, maybe

145
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: it wasn't. Either way, we'll be watching film with him

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: sprinting through the secondary of Buffalo as this game gets

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: a little wild at times, I think. And then finally

148
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: number five, we're gonna go with Deebo Sam a little

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: bit of a price shot giving you some big efforts

150
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Thus far this season, Ayuk is back. The full complement

151
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: of weapons are there, but looking for Debo as a

152
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: runner receiver. Now, obviously we keep an eye on the

153
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: injury reports. He was banged up. That's what happens when

154
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: you go and run the ball a bunch, But opportunity

155
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: knocks for big plays against this Arizona d.

156
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: You would think that Deebo Samuel could have a field

157
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: day against the Cardinals, but that is again if he plays.

158
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: He is a bit dinged up, took that hit on

159
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: Thursday night, didn't practice on Thursday, and also missed Wednesday's workout,

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: So something to obviously look for. At least when today's

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: injury report comes out, then we'll have a much better

162
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: idea on what Deebo Samuel's status is. Maybe a situation

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: too where they just if Brandon Ayuk does come back

164
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: and you have deebos it some of them I just

165
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: watched for at least with the Niners taking on the Cardinal. Sorry,

166
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: those are your top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers,

167
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: and Mike Carmen has four Week four of the NFL

168
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: season coming up next, Let's get to the guys that

169
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: aren't in the top five. You're hot plays and cold

170
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: sores and even the Ninjas. That's next here on I

171
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 2: want your flex Welcome back. He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Beyer.

172
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Executive producer is Ryan Berschinger. We gave you some obvious

173
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: names guys that you know that you're going to have

174
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: in your lineup. But again, the reason I love the

175
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: rankings that Mike does is because I always want to

176
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: know if my studs, the guys that I have in

177
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: my lineup are the number one option that week and

178
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: the number two option. You're obviously going to play Jamar Chase,

179
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: who was Mike's number one wide receiver, but I still

180
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: want to know if he thinks that Jamar Chase is

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: going to do better than Devonte Adams, who I may

182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: face in that matchup. So that's why I love the rankings.

183
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: I love these even more guys that could have big

184
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: weeks that may not be in the top five. Mike

185
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: struck gold last week with Tank Dell. Let's see what

186
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: he's got for our hot plays in week four?

187
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: Well, you keep giving the ball to the hot hand.

188
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: I don't care that there's a workload split. No, I

189
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: don't care that you have the scrum that's gonna vulture.

190
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: Maybe a touchdown away again at the goal line with

191
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. No, DeAndre Swift has absolutely earned the right

192
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: to be a rock solid starter for US. I don't

193
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: know how much he's gonna get to play in these

194
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: other categories. Might be looking at him as a top

195
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: five option behind that offensive line, but opportunity here Division

196
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: game against Washington at home. Workload will be big once again.

197
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: Raheem Mostert respect guy that everybody wanted. Every other running

198
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: back that was on the market in the marketplace could

199
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: be on the market. Jonathan Taylor was a photoshop there,

200
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook was photoshop there instead, power running game spread

201
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: the field last week, seventy burger for this squad going

202
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: up against Denver. That was with Jalen Waddle on the sideline.

203
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: Look for more love this week. I know Achen is

204
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: everybody's darling on the waiver wire and there is a

205
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: workload split, but not retreat quietly into that good night.

206
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: So playing with confidence this weekend. Brock Perdy going up

207
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: against Arizona. We always channeled the great Paul Haman introduction

208
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: from the playoffs last year. That's right, we're going wwe

209
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: when he went brock Purty channeling a little of his

210
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: love for the great brock Lessner. And right now they

211
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: are swinging neck breaker and power bombing and f fiving

212
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: guys all over the place. They'll do it to the

213
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: Arizona defense again this week. Spread it around. Doesn't need

214
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: to be monstrous, but it is a nice easy stat line.

215
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: No roller coaster rides here with Purdy thus far, Anthony Richardson,

216
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: we get him in our lineup, and then we just

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: pray that he can finish the game. It's one of

218
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: those we watched, the running efforts, we watched the ability

219
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: to make some plays downfield. We're starting to see more

220
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: in the passing game. Yeah, it was more downfield throws

221
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 3: with Minshew a week ago. But Richardson looking on track

222
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: that he's going to be back under center, and given

223
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: the rushing yards and goal line efforts, opportunity does knock

224
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: here on the other side of that, we look at Nikua,

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: just settle down into that secondary, just take your PPR

226
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: love and move on. And DK Metcalf going up against

227
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: the New York Football Giants. I felt like we hadn't

228
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: said DK's name in a while, and since I have

229
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: some ownership shares, I'm looking at him and, you know,

230
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: really kind of evaluating where we're at. Offense starts to

231
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: take another step up Giants at this point, hapless on defense,

232
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: opportunity knocks a puka.

233
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Nikua's value gets on. It keeps getting better and better,

234
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: especially when we don't know the status of Cooper cup

235
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Rams kind of coy about that, So you might also

236
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: ride the Puka Nakua train as long as you can

237
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: in LA or with la as. The Rams may not

238
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: be a playoff team, but they sure are competitive and

239
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: Puka Nakua still wrapping up those catches. All right, let's

240
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: get to the flip side of things. Some cold plays,

241
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: cold guys you want to stay away from. In Week

242
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: four of the NFL season, Mike take it away.

243
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: Well, let's go big game hunting. They laid a huge

244
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: egg against Arizona week ago. I don't think the sledging's

245
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 3: any better for Dallas this time out going up against

246
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 3: New England, even though it's a big game at home.

247
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard Dak Prescott two guys that I'm looking at. Look,

248
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: Pollard's obviously going to be in your lineup. He's still

249
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: going to be a back end one, high end two

250
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: at least from where I'm looking at with the New

251
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: England defense. So opportunity means he's in your lineup, but

252
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: you gotta temper those expectations. Dak, on the other hand,

253
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: I could see shutting him down here for what is

254
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: a very difficult matchup. Say what you will about the

255
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: lack of explosiveness on the New England offense. Defensively, they

256
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 3: can get after a bit and the timing in the

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: passing game right now, so then' look look great for

258
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott not taking a lot of shots downfield. The

259
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: big plays haven't been there, and look, that's fine if

260
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: you get extra points for completion percentage have had it,

261
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: but for big plays, I don't see him happening this

262
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: week against New England. Joe Mixon had himself a pretty

263
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: good game on Monday Night football, and I like the

264
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: opportunity here for the Bengals as Joe Burrow gets right.

265
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: But from the run side of things, it's one thing

266
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: Tennessee's defense can get after a little bit. So here

267
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: you're hoping for some love in the PPR situation. Again,

268
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: Number two play for you based on the opportunities in

269
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: the touchcount, but I'm not expecting huge dividends. Lamar Jackson

270
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: going up against Cleveland, I know Rokwan Smith is really

271
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: talking up a good game of embarrassing them in front

272
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: of their wives and children. I think that's a great quote.

273
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Divisional hatred is always a good thing,

274
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: but a tough spot here for Lamar again, the offense

275
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: not clicking. This is where we get into our off

276
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: season work and integrating guys, and they did not exercise

277
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: any of those demons for injuries yet in Baltimore. Look

278
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: like they'll get a couple of players back on offense,

279
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: particularly when we start looking at the center of that

280
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: offensive line. But still tough seliding for Lamar. You're hoping

281
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: for plays with his legs and then let's grab a

282
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: couple of wideouts right quick. Calvin Ridley going up against Atlanta,

283
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: you know he'll get you, you know, over that threshold

284
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: when we're looking towards double digit points. But in PPR leagues,

285
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: how exciting is that? Give me my five for fifty five. Yay.

286
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: I'm not looking for a big day here, but again

287
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: starting to with flex options in most leagues, he's a starter,

288
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: as is Mike Evans, but he's probably more a WR

289
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: three this time around. We know the classic battles against

290
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: New Orleans and their secondary. So grab your popcorn. We're

291
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: getting ready for another show on Sunday.

292
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna touch on Lamar Jackson a

293
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: little bit later on I piggyback off of Mike's thoughts

294
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: on that one London games, Calvin Ridley, Yeah, you have

295
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: no idea. And plus I think the Falcons are a

296
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: little bit better on D defense. And now we'll see

297
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: what the Cowboys do against a Bill Belichick led Patriots squad.

298
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's look for the hidden gems the Ninjas

299
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: four Week four of the NFL season.

300
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: The battle that I'll watch so you don't have to

301
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: the Broncos and the Bears. Let's take two guys from

302
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: the Broncos side of things. If Russ can't cook up something,

303
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: even if it's just an appetizer against the Bears, all

304
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: hope is lost in Denver, although if you read the

305
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: local press, they're already starting to light up the torches

306
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: and the pitchforks are out. Jamaltea Williams, likewise, against the Bears,

307
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: run defense should have some opportunity. Jalen Warren, we've talked

308
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: about him. I continue to be the hype man catches

309
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: out of the backfield. That's where we're making some hay

310
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: for Najee Harris. That workloads split is going to start

311
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: looking the other way. That pie chart is gonna get

312
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: bigger with more looks for Warren, more explosiveness, more opportunity,

313
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: and we know Houston's defense likes to play fast just

314
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: like Pittsburgh does, so this will be a little bit

315
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: of a grind, get out kind of situation. But hoping

316
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: for some yack on some of those receptions from Warren

317
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: in this one. Joshua Palmer mentioned him before as we

318
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 3: Mike Williams and I hate that we had to do

319
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: it the other night, both Smith and I and then

320
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 3: the podcast fellas, and that we're getting just to that

321
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: awful space where Mike Williams has already hurt. This time,

322
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: it's not a week to week but done for the years,

323
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: So now it's about stepping up. Johnston doesn't seem like

324
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: he's ready to get there just yet. He's the prototype.

325
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: He is the guy who filled what they need physically

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: downfield to make big plays. But Palmer easy relationship history

327
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: with Justin Herbert, opportunity against the Vegas secondary to go

328
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: make some plays, and then finally let's go to Cleveland.

329
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: I know we've been critical of what we've seen Deshaun Watson,

330
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: a couple flashes here and there, overall still trying to

331
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: put it together, but how about a little Elijah Moore

332
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: going up against the Baltimore secondary again. Their bang up

333
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: a little bit, and in a grudge match situation, they'll

334
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: do everything they can to keep the name Cooper from

335
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: being screamed a lot. Look for the secondary receivers to

336
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: make bigger plays this time around.

337
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: Now, Elijah Moore and Deshaun Watson maybe getting a bit

338
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: of a report. It's my turn, Mike now to I'm

339
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: going to piggyback on one of the things that you said,

340
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: and I'll get to that in just a little bit

341
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: because it came from your cold sores and I'm going

342
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: to give you a reason to bench a guy. But

343
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: I got to give you a reason to start a guy.

344
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: And it is a theme. It will be a theme

345
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 2: throughout the weekend, and this guy's even talked about it.

346
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how in the world if you're Bill

347
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: Belichick in the New England Patriots, you don't figure out

348
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: a way to get Ezekiel Elliott in the end zone.

349
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 2: I know there's not going to be a lot of

350
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: may not be a lot of scoring in that game. However,

351
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: if I were to give you one reason to start

352
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott against the Cowboys, for the New England Patriots.

353
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: It's because Zeke is coming home. Like there's this is

354
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: set up like if you wanted to pick any week

355
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: where Ezekiel Elliott would score a touchdown, this would be

356
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: the week to do it. So if you're thin at

357
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: the running back position, heck, he's coming off of a

358
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: decent week against the Jets in a win. But I

359
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: believe that Ezekiel Elliott gets in the end zone and

360
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: that is the reason why I say you start him

361
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: against the Dallas Cowboys. I will also say this, I'm

362
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: going to piggyback on Mike's Lamar Jackson. I really really

363
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: like this Cleveland defense, and I just think that there

364
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: are better options. It's not a bye week. I think

365
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: that there are better options for you at quarterback, especially

366
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: for a Cleveland defense again that has given up six

367
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: points in a combined two games against the Bengals and

368
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: Titans and only lost to the Steelers because the Steelers

369
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: defense scored not once but twice. So I am with

370
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Mike on this. I will give you a reason to

371
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 2: bench Lamar Jackson of the Ravens, and that's because of

372
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: that dog pound defense in Cleveland. All right, there, it

373
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: is hopefully it's a little bit better than it was

374
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: a week ago. He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byer. That's

375
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: Ryan Berschinger, Week four US here. We wish you success,

376
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you next time right here, and I

377
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: want your flex
