1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the Daily NFL Fantasy Live Podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Smith alongside Michael Fabiano Adam Rankin at Barbaja Villamilo.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: All the fallout from Week seven in the NFL, which

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: is now going down as the week of the injury

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: funny the players out for the season. What does this

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: mean for your fantasy team? Will give you all the

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: information you need to know, also the free agent pickups

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: of the week and what else we learned from Week

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: seven in the NFL. But first we begin with heavy

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Hearts at NFL Network. Our thoughts go out to the

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and the rest of the NFL following the

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: passing of longtime owner Bud Adams, who died Monday at

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: the age of ninety. Adams own the Tennessee Titans since

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: their inception in nine sixty. More on his life and

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: career throughout the day on NFL Network. Lots of news

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: to get to today, so we'll get right into it

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: and FABS will start with Tampa Bay Buccaneers and running

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: back Doug Martin. NFL Networks Albert Brier tells us he

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: suffered a torn labor in his shoulder. Greg Siano says

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: he is out indefinitely. So what does this mean for

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the team. Well, Mike James has gotta

22
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: be he owned an all fantasy leagues now and people

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: may say, well, if Doug Martin couldn't succeed in this offense,

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: how can Mike James. You never know what you're gonna

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: hit on on the waiver wire, and at the running

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: back position. With six teams off for the next two weeks,

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Mike James now needs to be owned, even if he's

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: just gonna be your flex starter in Indianapolis Colts, Why

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: don't Reggie Wayne has a torn a c L he

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: has done for the season as well, fabs Darius Heyward

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Bay had a nice night last night even before Reggie

32
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Wayne got hurt. Yeah, d HP doesn't have the great hands,

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: of course, and he can't replace Reggie Wayne. But opportunity

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Jason is what we're looking at here. And Andrew Luck

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: to me, is one of the elite quarterbacks in the

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: National Football League. He can make wide receivers better. This

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: is good news for DHB and helps the value of

38
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton Kobe Fleaner as well. So if d

39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: HP is available, and he's available, in a lot of

40
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: leagues brought and get him concerned at all about Andrew Luck.

41
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: I really love Andrew Luck, and I think that he

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: can make his wide receivers better. I still see him

43
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: as an elite quarterback. More bad news for the Rams.

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: They've announced the quarterback Sam Bradford does have a torn

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: left a c L. He will not play for the

46
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: rest of the season, leaving Kellen Clemens as a presumed

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: starter for Week eight. Zach Stacy, someone will get into

48
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: later on FABS. What about the Rams wide receivers. There's

49
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: not one wide receiver or tight end on that team

50
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: right now that I trust in fantasy football. Not Tavon Austin,

51
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: not Jared Cook. This is bad news for that whole

52
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: pass attack. Zach Stacy. To me right now, Jason is

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: the only guy you own in a ten team league

54
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: in fantasy leagues, It's looking bad in St. Louis right.

55
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: Speedy recoveries for all of these players who were injured.

56
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Will have more on the rest of the injuries coming

57
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: up in a bit. But first, Sunday Night Football the

58
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Broncos and the Colts the regular season game of the century,

59
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: at least this year. It was Peyton Manning's return to Indianapolis.

60
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: He would have a pretty nice Fantasy game and if

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: the fans like him a little bit there still, he

62
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: was the face of that franchise for so many years

63
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: it was great. However, he would be outshined by Andrew Luck.

64
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: First blood though, would go to Peyton Manning. First quarter.

65
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: About eight minutes to go, it's Eric Decker and fabs.

66
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Remember we were worried about Eric Decker. Uh, yeah, not

67
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: so much anymore. He's been fantastic since week one. Broncos

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: get on top seven nothing even get a good spike there.

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Geno Smith can learned from that one. Andrew Luck looking

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: to answer. It's Darius Heyward Bay. He gets in the

71
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: end zone here fast and you know this is good

72
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: to see again because he's gonna be a popular pickup

73
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: off the wave for a while. Pay Manning back to work.

74
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, what a catch Fantasy pickup of the year.

75
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: It's either him or no Sean Marino his teammate. They've

76
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: both been phenomenal. Sixteen seconds left in the half, it's

77
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Andy Luck Kobe Fleiner into the end zone, making Kobe

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: Fleeer Fantasy relevant. The Stanford connection. Leaner was a good

79
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: sleeper last night. Five minutes left in the third quarter,

80
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Colts on second and six, Luck can't find anyone. We

81
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: talked about all the other mobile quarterbacks fabs, here's Andrew lay.

82
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: You think about Kim Newton and Robert Griffin the third

83
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: but guess what Andrew Luck can run with the football.

84
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Luck four touchdowns on the night down thirty six seven team.

85
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Beginning of the fourth quarter, Manning buy some time and

86
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: helps Michael Fabiano in the Experts League not finding to

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: marry As Thomas for that touchdown. Yeah, you know what

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I had. I had to wonder what was going on

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: with d Thomas, but he finally brought that touchdown. We

90
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: say it all the time, if you get points for

91
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: fumbles in your league, Ronnie Hillman is your guy. The

92
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: fumble there, Colts recover it, sealing the victory. Thirty nine

93
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: thirty three the final. Here's your fantasy points leaders fact,

94
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: we said there was gonna be a lot of fantasy

95
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: points and everybody just or Andrew Luck was might start

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: of the week on NFL dot Com a quarterback and

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: he was fantastic with over thirty fantasy points. Peyton Manning

98
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: boy he is just unreal. He has found the fountain

99
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: of youth. He's phenomenal. When it comes to Andrew Luck,

100
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: he's a little bit better at home than he is

101
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: on the road. Ten total touchdowns this year at home

102
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: compared to just three on the road. You're still starting him,

103
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: but you're expecting that extra uptick when he's at home.

104
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: When he is at home, he is unbelievably productive. And yes,

105
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: losing Reggy Wyn is gonna hurt, but he's still a

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: guy I'm starting when he's put up big numbers against

107
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. They've got some tough games this year,

108
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Poets, and they're playing extremely well, played well

109
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: against the forty niners. That was on the road. Though,

110
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: when he's at home, he's about as close to a

111
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: much start as you can be without being Drew Brees,

112
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning and ho hum, Peyton Manning

113
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: twenty five Fantasy points ho home. You know what? This

114
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: is what he does. He's been the m v P

115
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: of fantasy football this season. So if you drafted him

116
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: and the second, third or fourth round wherever you got him,

117
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: you look like a genius right now. Since we're at

118
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: the mid season point. Most of your fantasy leagues this

119
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: week will be celebrating that, given out our mid season

120
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: awards for m v P Newcomer of the Year, Draft

121
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: Bargain of the Year, Rookie of the Year. So something

128
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 1: hours away from picking on the winless New York Giants

00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football a bar Obviously, all eyes will

130
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: be on a D in this one. Yeah, I mean

131
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: all day. Adrian Peterson. He's always a guy that you

132
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: want to go to. He's a guy that I'm depending

133
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: on right now to beat Molly caram In and our

134
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: expert lead right of points you need there, I need

135
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: him to have twenty points. You're gonna get it, all right.

136
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: But let's talk about another guy who I'm depending on now.

137
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: Last week I made a little hey starting Mike Lennon.

138
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: I went with Josh Freeman and this one and going

139
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: up against those hapless giants. What do you see out

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: of him to that? You know what? I love this

141
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: pick by you because Josh Freeman, to me, is gonna

142
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: be a guy that I think is gonna go out

143
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: there and have a good night. And here's why, they're

144
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna give him a lighter playbook, so that means he

145
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: can go out there and show his natural ability. Let's

146
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: let's start for you, don't mix. You know what happened

147
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: in Tampa with his future now with the Minnesota Bike

148
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be in a new setting. He's gonna

149
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: want to prove to his teammates that he can play,

150
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: that he's that guy and you should be the starting quarterback.

151
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: So look for big opportunities. The little chip on his shoulder,

152
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can call it chip on the shoulder,

153
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: all right. So if my extremely, if Josh Freeman goes

154
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: out has a good game, what does that mean for

155
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Greg Jenning. Well, he's been disappointing so far. I mean

156
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: he's had one game where you know, he kind of

157
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: stood out. But I think Greg Jennings is gonna benefit

158
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: from Josh Freeman. Because here's what's gonna happen. The defense

159
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: are now all of a sudden there saying, well, how

160
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: do we play against Josh Freeman this offense? So they're

161
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna kind of play back. They're probably gonna see a

162
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: lot of one on one matchup with Greg Jennings, and

163
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings is gonna win those because you have a

164
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: guy now that's a deep threat that can throw the ball.

165
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: When Greg Jennings downgraded in quarterbacks from Aaron Rogerster Christian Browner,

166
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: it affected him. Now he's gonna an upgrade. But I

167
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: like he's got a nice little history on Monday Night football,

168
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: So don't sleep on Greg Jennings. And we will take

169
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: a look at the projections we have going see, I

170
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: need eighteen points acquired. How many points do you say

171
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: you needed at Adrian. I need twenty five points out

172
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: of Adrian Peterson to beat Molly Jerip. She's been me

173
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: in two leagues, right, this is why you project him

174
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: for twenty five points. I need eighteen points from free

175
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: and that's why I projected. I will change mind to match.

176
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to change my five points. Let's go to

177
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: the other side of the football. Start with Victor Cruz.

178
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: This is a guy who has now emerges the number

179
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: one option there for the Giants. What do we see

180
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: out of him today? Well, Victor Cruz to me, when

181
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you look at you know, Eli Manning in this offense,

182
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: these guys got to throw the ball. They don't trust

183
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: their running game. They're running game hasn't been there, So

184
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna be looking to throw the ball down to

185
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz. You're gonna see him play that excellent spot,

186
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: the slot spot is he He's gonna play everywhere, anywhere

187
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: where they can sit there and kind of pick up

188
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the defenses. Victor Cruz is the guy that you could

189
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: continuously play. And what's awesome is he got paid and

190
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: yet he's still coming out and performing. Yeah, he is,

191
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: because he's winning the one on one matchups and he's

192
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: showing that he's gonna Sauca dance all the way. Okay,

193
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: one guy who wants to get paid in the upcoming

194
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: season is Hey, Kim Knicks one total touchdown his last

195
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: nine games. Can we count on him tonight? Well, he's

196
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: yet to find the end zone this season, and I

197
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: think this is the night because this secondary is so bad.

198
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: You're talking about the thirtieth ranked defense coming into this game.

199
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Hakim Knicks is gonna take advantage of you know, those

200
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: one on one matchup when Eli Nennan gets up there

201
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: and said, oh boy, look at this, I've got a

202
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: one on one matchup on the Keen Knicks. He's better

203
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: than any of those secondary either Cook or Josh Robinson.

204
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: Hakim Knicks is gonna blow by those guys. Absolutely. I

205
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: had so many high hopes he Knicks. But here are

206
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: our projections. I guess I do have a little bit

207
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: of high hopes here hand fantasy points where you get

208
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: into double digits. That's good. And now you see we

209
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: don't have a running back up here. The Giants running

210
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: back situation is in flux? Is it gonna be Peyton

211
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: hillis tonight? Michael Cox could also be in the mix.

212
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: To you, That's why I encourage all of you be

Speaker 1: for Monday night. Let so let's get caught up some

218
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: more on those headlines and stuff, and we'll send it

219
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: back over to Jason Smith and Michael Fabiana. Thanks a lot, guys.

220
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: Week seven's injury toll continues with Texans running back Arian Foster.

221
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: He left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. The Texans

222
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: do have a buy next weekend, fab So what's your

223
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: level of concern after he left the game. Well, you

224
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: know what, he gave you a one point one fantasy

225
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: point yesterday and we hope he's okay. But it's a

226
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: good time to have this buy for Arian Foster and

227
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: the Texans. Hopefully he gets healed up. But if you

228
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: don't have Bentait as a handcuffany is available, go out

229
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: and pick him up right now? All right? Nick Foles,

230
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles quarterback, left Sunday's him against the Cowboys with

231
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: a concussion, but Howard Eskin of the Philadelphia and in

232
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Choir reports that starter Michael Vick they play in Week

233
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: eight against the Giants even if his hamstring injury is

234
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: not fully healed. Fabs, how do you make sense of

235
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: what's going on in Philadelphy? You know, I think we

236
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: we all jumped on the fulls bandwagon after a couple

237
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: of good games. But Michael Vick is still the best

238
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback on that team. I've always thought that, and

239
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be glad that he is back under center

240
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: for the Eagles, both for that franchise and for my

241
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: own fantasy teams and for people who have they out there.

242
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 1: He's been good when he's been on the field. But

243
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: you have to own both these guys. If you have

244
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, you gotta have fules in vice versa. That's

245
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: the way had suff How about that Bears quarterback Jay

246
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Cutler left Sunday's contest against Washington with a torn growing.

247
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: He'll miss at least four weeks with that injury. FABS

248
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: whose value is affected the most by Jake Cul's training Marshall.

249
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: You can argue that Jay Culor and Brandon Marshall have

250
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: the best quarterback and wide receiver connection in the entire

251
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: National Football League. If I have Brandon Marshall right now,

252
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: I am quite concerned. The same thing goes with Alshon Jeffrey.

253
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: There's a big drop off from and mccoma and four weeks.

254
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: It's at least four weeks. It could be even longer,

255
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: And you're wondering if I hold on, wait for the return.

256
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: You're waiting all the way up until your playoffs, and

257
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: then you might not be able to one. Saving graces

258
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. At least, the Bears defense is really

259
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: bad right now and they're really banged up, So maybe

260
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: the Bears getting these shootouts and you get some garbage

261
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: time points. Right Here's what Bears head coach Mark Tressman

262
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: had to say today about his quarterback's injury. He said

263
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: he felt something pop. I don't know any more than that.

264
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm encouraged by the prognosis that you know

265
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: he'll be back and this spike couldn't come at a

266
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: better time. Scary injury for Packers hight enter Michael Finley,

267
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: who spent the night in the hospital after suffering a

268
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: neck injury on this play. NFL media insider Ian Rappaport

269
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: reports that the hospital stay was precautionary and that Finley

270
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: quote is going to be fine. All our best thoughts

271
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: to all of these players. Hope they get back and

272
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: back into the lineup soon. Here's some of the other

273
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: injuries from Week seven. Ron Rivera confirmed Jonathan Stewart will

274
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: return to practice this week, and Mike Smith says running

275
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: back Stephen Jackson could come back to practice on Wednesday.

276
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: But now let's get to at least some positive injury news,

277
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: and that is Rob Gronkowski. He returned against the Jets

278
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: fabs and everybody held their breath and Rob Gronkowski kind

279
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: of look like Rob Gronkowski. He was fantastic. Maybe had

280
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a rust, but you couldn't see

281
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: it because he had over a hundred yards a bunch

282
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: of catches, and right now I will put him securely

283
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: behind Jimmy Graham at the number two spot in my

284
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: tight end rankings weekend and week out. Gronkowski is back,

285
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. You can even tell how upset he was

286
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: he didn't make that circus one handed catch at the end. Yeah, okay,

287
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: Gronk is back and he came close to finding the

288
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: end zone there, So all right, Harry Douglass, who did

289
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: find the end zone. It turns out Matt Ryan doesn't

290
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: matter who's playing wide receiver for him. He finds guys,

291
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: we underestimated Matt Ryan. Even without Julio Jones and Roddy White,

292
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: he was still fantastic. Three touchdowns, and Harry Douglas was

293
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: a big part of the success they had in that

294
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: pass attack. Douglas now needs to be owned in all leagues,

295
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: especially until Roddy White comes back, and we're not sure

296
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: when that's gonna be. And Matt Ryan has proved he

297
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: is matchup proof, unlike Matt Stafford about Calvin Johnson. Even

298
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: without his guys, he still put up some big famtases.

299
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean even Tom Brady can't put up big numbers

300
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: about his guys. Matt Ryan, no problem, all right, Roy Hello,

301
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: who knew? No, not us, that's for shar But you

302
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: know what, Adam Rank is always right with Shannahan against

303
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: There's always that specter out there of Mike Shanahan doing

304
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: this to our fantasy teams. What shocked me was that

305
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Hellu was seeing goal line carries and Alfred Morris was

306
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: so good near the goal line last year. Now I'm

307
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: a little bit scared of Alfred Morris. But again, hey,

308
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: as Halloween time, it's time to be scared. That backfield

309
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: is a little tricky right now with Halu, So Hallu

310
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: is worth owning, especially with the boys and the injuries

311
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: going on right now. Why do you feel about Alfred

312
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Morris's value? You still play him? Listen, and we've talked

313
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: about this. How many running backs out there can you

314
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: trust right now in the National Football League. I mean

315
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: you may be able to count him on one hand.

316
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: So Alfred Morris is still a guy you're starting. And

317
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the bio weeks are here, six teams

318
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: off in the next two weeks, Morris is in your lineup,

319
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: like it or not? Right, still too common An NFL

Speaker 1: This Andrew Luck, Matt Forte, Calvin Johnson, Andy Dalton, everybody

331
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: with huge Sundays and look at Roy Halloo on the

332
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: bottom of that list, have a funny feeling. Adam Rank

333
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: is going to have something on this coming up later

334
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: on in the show, and hand aggains here goes eleven

335
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: through twenty free Gore continuing to put up Fantasy points.

336
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan showing that even without Julio Jones Roddy White,

337
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: he can still be a good fantasy quarterback. Jordan Reid

338
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith a couple of newcomers to this board,

339
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: as is ja Quiz Rodgers will want more on him

340
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: coming up in our waiver Wire segment. Now, some guys

341
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: that you see have great performances on Sunday, you automatically

342
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: just throw him right back out there for the next week.

343
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Matt Forte surely fat is one of those guys. But

344
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: without Jay Cutler for the next four weeks, what can

345
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: you expect out of Forte? Listen, I expect the same

346
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: sort of production that he has been giving us. The

347
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Bears are gonna have to lean on the running guys.

348
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: Can you name me five reliable running backs in fantasy

349
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: right now? I mean, it's really, really tough, and Matt

350
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Forte has been one of them. There is no way

351
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: that I have any issue with Matt Forte being in

352
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: my starting lineup with or without Jay Cutler. This is

353
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: a guy you just have to ride. That running back

354
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: position this season has been messier than I can remember.

355
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: All Right, how about Vincent Jackson? Ok, bar, you got

356
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: a ton of targets yesterday from glennon short week? This week,

357
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: what kind of week it'st the Panther's defense. I'm expecting

358
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: still a big, big type of production from Vincent Jackson.

359
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: That's because the young quarterback, when you get out there

360
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: and you're young and this is your rookie year, you're

361
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: looking to veterans like Vincent Jackson to carry you through.

362
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: And you can see, like you said, twenty two targets

363
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: last week against the Falcons, and he came up big

364
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: with for you, I mean a hundred and thirty eight

365
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Vincent Jackson, You continue to play him,

366
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: have no doubt about his production, and I think he's

367
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna win against his secondary right. People have been a

368
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: lukewarm on r G three so far this year. What

369
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: about after Sunday? Yeah, And we've been cautioning people that

370
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna take r G three a little bit of

371
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: time to get back to being completely healthy. He was

372
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: out for the entire offseason rehabbing a knee injury. If

373
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: you saw what Adrian Peterson did last season, he didn't

374
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: really start getting to get it together until about midway

375
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: through the season, which coincidentally r G three is now

376
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: started to put it together. A hundred and fifty five

377
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards in the last two games, r G three

378
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: is officially back. You can start each in every week.

379
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: You see Andy Dalton's name and you go, I'm just

380
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: not excited about starting Andy Dalton two straight games though,

381
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: of over twenty Fantasy points. When a week when now

382
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: you're replacing Sam Bradford, you're replacing Philip Rivers, Andrew Luck.

383
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: He's worth a pickup FABS, certainly. But he's got the

384
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: Jets at home, which is a pretty favorable matchup. You

385
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: can start him this week. Yeah, the Jets have not

386
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: been good against the past, we all know that. Well,

387
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: unless they're playing Tom Brady. Of course, that's another story altogether.

388
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: But Dalton has been one of the best quarterbacks in

389
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy the last two weeks, and with Fan Bradford out,

390
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: that makes it a very attractive play. Yeah, with him,

391
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: it's all been about consistency. Though some big weeks last

392
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: year and then some stinkers did the same thing last season. Now,

393
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: so by week replacements go get Andy Dalton Now. Every

394
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: week on NFL dot com, I write a column called

395
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: Targets and Touches. It spotlights the pass catchers who amass

396
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: the most targets every week and the running backs whose

397
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: total touches that week merit attention. Hopefully this helps you

398
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: decide which players are worthy of starting or picking up

399
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: in free agency and which ones are just a passing fancy.

400
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: You can check it out at NFL dot com slash targets.

401
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: A guy getting all of the touches on Sunday was

402
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews and second big Fantasy week, and I wrote

403
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: for Ryan Matthews, Yeah, I mean twenty plus carries back

404
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: to back games. We haven't seen that a lot for

405
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. But he produced with those amount of touches

406
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: that he got. When you look at it, twenty one rushes,

407
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten yards and a touchdown that many

408
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: people say, look this guy, Ryan Matthews not getting into

409
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. He hasn't had a touchdown since Week

410
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: five of last season. Now, all of a sudden, he's

411
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: getting in there. I think this is a prime opportunity

412
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: to take a guy like Ryan Matthews and trade him.

413
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: He's hot. I mean, he's got back to that game

414
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: that he's put together. He's looking really good right now.

415
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: And kudos to you because you said that he was

416
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: going to have a big game this week, and you

417
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: were exactly right. Ryan Matthews is putting up numbers. He

418
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: never did that when I had promoted him and before

419
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: I made a bet with you on lunch, Give me lunch,

420
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: all right. How about Zack Stacy fabs. Yeah, listen, I

421
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: didn't like this matchup yesterday against the Carolina Panthers. They

422
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: had really been tough on the running home. Well, guess what,

423
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: Zack's Stacy was fantastic found the end zone. And now

424
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: we're no Sam Bradford and Kellen Clemenson quarterback, They're gonna

425
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: have to run the football. Zach Stacy is the only

426
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: player on the St. Louis Rams who I would own

427
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: and own with confidence in a ten team league. Right now,

428
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: he's the only one go of Zach Stacy has a

429
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: flex Ryan Matthews at least a flex, maybe even an

430
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: r B two depending on your injury slash bye week situation.

431
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Here's the most targeted players for Week seven. Vincent Jackson

432
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: being wopping twenty two from Mike Glennon, Rob Gronkowski no

433
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: worries there, seventeen targets from Tom Brady his first game back.

434
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: But there's some interesting guys, potential waiver wire players out there.

435
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts, Stevie Johnson forever lives on the waiver wire

436
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: thirteen targets on Sunday. But guys, I can't recommend Stevie

437
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: Johnson for a bye week replacement. He's nice, but he's

438
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: not a guy that's gonna get you a hundred yards.

439
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: He can't count. I'm gonna get in the end zone.

440
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: He could see the targets once while I give you

441
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: seventy eight yard game and okay, but that's really about it.

442
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: Six points will starting six in fantasy. I mean, that's

443
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: not cutting it unless he is really a by K replacement.

444
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: Just like you said, you know, when you see Frank

445
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Jackson C J. Spiller really get hot, that's when Stevie Johnson,

446
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: when the running gag goal, that's where Steve Johnson goes

447
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: give those targets to Bobby Woods, waiting for him to

448
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: break up. Hopefully. You listen to Adam Rank almost a

449
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: month ago when he told you about Terence Williams. It's

450
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: a month later, right, and Terence Williams has been terrific.

451
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: He's still tearing it up. And there was a little

452
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: bit of hesitation when Miles Austin started coming back into

453
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: the lineup, but it's it's pretty much Terrence Williams. Now

454
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: he is the number two option behind Des Bryant there,

455
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: and you know what, you can start him with confidence

456
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers. You know he's had

457
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: at least thirteen Fantasy points in two of his last

458
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: three games. He's had a receiving touchdown in each of

459
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: those games. So this is a guy you look at

460
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: some of these matchup the Cowboys are gonna have. I

461
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: love playing this guy. Get him in your lafe. Miles

462
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: Austin no catches the last two weeks, five catches the

463
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: last month. Jordan read if you're looking for the next

464
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an oversell,

465
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: but nine catches, hundred thirty four yards in a touchdown

466
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: against the Bears on Sunday. This guy is big, he's athletic,

467
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: and r G three is looking to him more and

468
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: more Fab six or more targets in every game but

469
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: one so far this season. Jordan read, if you're playing

470
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: plug and play, there's worse guys. We talked about him

471
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: as a sleeper on NFL Fantasy Live and the matchup

472
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: he has coming up against the Denver Broncos. Boy, it

473
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: is good. I can't remember the last time I tight

474
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: end didn't have a touchdown against the Denver Bronco. Did

475
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: it last night? Jordan read, He's right now a low

476
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: end one in fantasy weeks all right? Coming up our

477
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: top waiver wire pick up from the week. Besides these guys,

478
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: see which breakout stars from week seven you need to

479
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: grab right now and what to expect once you have him.

480
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: And if you're tearing your hair out after a frustrating

481
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: performance from your fantasy stars, we feel your paid, although

482
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: not really because most of us are balling. Our experts

483
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: tell you which Monday nightmares will bounce back after a

484
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: rough week. When NFL Fantasy Live returns Thursday, It's an

485
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: NFC South Clash in primetime is Cam Newton leads the

486
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: Panthers into Tampa for a divisional showdown with Mike Glennon

487
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: and the Bucks. Anthers Bucks Thursday Night Football Thursday, eight

488
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: p m. Eastern, Live on NFL Network. Time for this

489
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: week's Monday Nightmare, presented by Call of Duty Ghosts, we're

490
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: taking a look back at the players you hope to

491
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: ride to victory only to see them put up a

492
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: nightmarage performance on Sunday. And some of these guys. Your

493
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: count on Justin Blackman, someone you counted on coming off

494
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, and he wound up really disappointing you. Look,

495
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, less than five Fantasy points for less than

496
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: six Fantasy points for Blackman, Giovanni Bernard less than six,

497
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady just over seven. C J. Spiller on this list.

498
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to him in a second, but first, Blackman

499
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: is someone off bar one bad week. Can you throw

500
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: it out? You can't throw it out. I think you

501
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: just have to have realistic expectations when it comes to

502
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Justin Blackman. Last week he had twenty targets against the

503
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Denver Bronkles, and that was because Cecil Shorts got hurt

504
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now he became the it guy.

505
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: But understand the way this offense works. They need help.

506
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: They're running game hasn't really got going, so they really

507
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: depend on the vertical game. And they're two guys in

508
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: the vertical game is Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackman. So

509
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: don't expect him to dominate the wide receiving corps. He's

510
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna split that with Cecil Shorts. So I think he's

511
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna continue because he's got big playability, He'll continue to

512
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: do good. How about C. J. Spiller rank, he's been

513
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: on fire. I'm cutting him. He's off, He's off the team.

514
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of this guy. This is one of

515
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: the worst first round picks I have ever created in

516
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: my twenty years of fantasy football. I am so disappointed

517
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: in this guy that I don't I don't even want

518
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: to buy my roster. He was on that do not

519
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: cut list, though I made sure the NFL dot Com

520
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: they changed that so I can cut him, so I

521
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: can put him on the street. The commissioner I called

522
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: the commissioner. If he even if he does come back

523
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: and have a great season, it won't be on Adam's

524
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: boutique because he's gone welcome up the middle of the

525
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: night saying I gotta cut c J. Spiller right now.

526
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: I cannot. I cannot put up with that kind of nonsense.

527
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm sending up in that NFL an like I'm one

528
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: and whatever. I'm sending a message. Nobody's job is said.

529
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: I feel you on that one. C J. Spiller has

530
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: been disappointing all right. Looks like the Dolphins tried to

531
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: send a message Lamar Miller a day ago. Daniel Thomas

532
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: got a ton of the touches there, and Lamar Miller

533
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: continues to disappoint. It's not that he's been awful, but

534
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: they just don't give him the football. And nine rushes

535
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: for forty three yards. That's an okay enough average, but

536
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins just don't run it. He's never run for

537
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: more than seventy five yards in the game. Still hold

538
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: on to Lamar Miller, but as far as him being

539
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: a flex, you can move them out of your lineup

540
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: and go with someone that can you can count on

541
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: for more than five Fantasy points. You got somebody on

542
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: your bench gives you more than five. You can sit

543
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller now. Tom Brady is someone rank who gave

544
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: you more than five on Sunday, but just barely. All right,

545
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has been bad, but you know what, stick

546
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: with this guy. I like him a lot, declared Danes

547
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: on Homeland. I was ready to stop watching Homeland, and

548
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden her her insult in cahoots.

549
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Spoiler Sorry everybody, Yeah, sorry about that. Let me spoil

550
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: this for you. Tom Brady is gonna be great down

551
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: this stretch. He's got Rob Gronkowski bag, all his weapons

552
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: are gonna start coming back. Guys like Shane Vereen will

553
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: be back in week eleven. So by the end of

554
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: the year, when you get into the Fantasy playoffs, you

555
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: will be starting Tom Brady. Do not let him go.

556
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: Here's another spoiler. Trent Richardson has been awful. Yeah, he

557
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: has spoiled your roster. If you've at him, man, it

558
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: looks I know that he's in a new system now,

559
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: but this is a power running game. That's not something

560
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: that he's not familiar with. He did that when he

561
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: was in college, back in college, and now all of

562
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: a sudden you see him and he just doesn't have

563
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: that think to it. I'm starting to believe that Richardson

564
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: is just not that guy. We look at it for

565
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: performance one point seven fantasy points. That's a shame, and

566
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: that's because he couldn't secure the ball. So now all

567
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got ball security. It's not looking

568
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: good for Trip Richardson. I'm I'm just cool on him.

569
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm cool. That's Monday Nightmare presented by Call of Duty

570
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Ghost Guys. You might want to sit down at least

571
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Speaking of Monday Nightmare. Right, you

572
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: have your own crazy popular Monday Nightmare College and every

573
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning we're commiserating with what happened? That is that

574
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: a new work commiserating. It's been around a long time.

575
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: I know you didn't go to the Harvard of the

576
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: West Coast cow State Fullers, so you might not have

577
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: learned those type of words. Let me tell you. If

578
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: you were burned on Monday night, we we talked about it.

579
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: It's like a big therapy couch and we just kind

580
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: of said, we just talk about it. You feel better

581
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: because all of us get burned on Monday night from

582
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: time to time. So we just we have a big

583
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: fantasy group. Like the way you say, talk about it,

584
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: talk about it. Coming up next. Need a running back

585
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: for Week eight. A few surprising names broke onto the

586
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: fantasy radar that you can snag on the waiver wire.

587
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: Those in the rest of our Week eight pickups when

588
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live continues. In case you missed it earlier

589
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live. Peyton manning three touchdowns on Sunday Night,

590
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: but outdueled by Andrew Luck in the biggest regular season

591
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: game of the year. Peyton, though a strong Fantasy m

592
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: VP candidate this season. Tom Brady and c. J. Spiller

593
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: continued their downward spirals and fantasy production this week. Time

594
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: to sit these guys until they turn it around. Still

595
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: to come. We're breaking down what else we learned on

596
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Sunday of Week seven. We've got four notes you need

597
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: to know to contend. This is NFL Fantasy Live. The

598
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: week of the injury some of these guys. The injuries

599
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: just kept pouring one after another. Sam Bradford done for

600
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: the season with a torn a c. L. J. Cutler

601
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: had a minimum of four weeks with a torn growing

602
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Doug Martin has done for the season, as is Reggie Wayne,

603
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: injured in Sunday Night's victory over the Denver Broncos. So

604
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: with these guys out, speedy recoveries to all of them, obviously,

605
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to make moves. Chris Ivory, check and

606
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: see if he's available. Maybe he is, you never know,

607
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: go pick him up to quiz Rogers. Percy Harvin is

608
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: a guy he hasn't played yet this season, but with

609
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: his return getting closer and closer, he's the number one

610
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: weapon you need to go try to find and go

611
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: get Jason Smith alongside Michael Fabiano and Adam Rank as

612
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: we talk waiver wire pickups here for Week eight, the

613
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: most important week of the season so far. Fabs Darius

614
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay has suddenly become a must get in fantasy. Yeah. Well, unfortunately,

615
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne's out for this season with that knee injury.

616
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: And listen, d HB. It doesn't have the best hands

617
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. We all know this, but

618
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: now he's going to be stepping into a more prominent

619
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: role in the offense. And guys and your Luck is

620
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: one of the elite quarterbacks in the league, at least

621
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, and that is a big, big

622
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: reason why you go out and you get d h B.

623
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Because Andrew Luck can make his wide receivers better. And

624
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: let's face it, guys, with all these injuries and six

625
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: teams on a by, he's got to be picked up

626
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: in leagues. Every week we say, go get to quiz Rogers.

627
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: Every week to quiz Rodgers has a big week, another

628
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: one on Sunday, nine targets out of the backfield from

629
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan that actually led the team. That was one

630
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: more than Harry Douglas. He simply is the best playmaker

631
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: they have on the team right now, fabs. And even

632
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: when that magical mystical day of Stephen Jackson when he

633
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: comes back, Rogers is still a valuable player. And we

634
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: don't know when Steven Jackson's coming back because of his injury.

635
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: And look at the production. Rogers has four touchdowns in

636
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: his last two games. That's pretty good. If it's the

637
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins, it must be Adam Rank, Mr Rank Roy hellu,

638
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time before Shanahan against

639
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: once again reared It's ugly head. But it's cool because

640
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I was going against Freddy Morris this week, so I

641
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: don't mind Hello going and sneaking those touchdowns. But he

642
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: is a guy to go up and grab. You talked

643
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: about the injuries. There's not a lot of great running

644
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: backs out there, and if the Redskins are gonna start

645
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: using Hallo like this, he had eleven touches yesterday. He

646
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: had all those goal line looks. So this is a

647
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: guy that he's gonna have some good matchups. UNFC East

648
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: is not a great division, so he's gonna ask some

649
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: good matchups going forward. Somebody can put in your lineup,

650
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: all right, Chris Ivory. You saw him on the board

651
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds ago from really no value to

652
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: thirty four rushes and a hundred and four yards against

653
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots on Sunday, Ball Powell played a handful of snaps,

654
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: touched the ball less than six times, Powell's third straight

655
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: game of less than five Fantasy points. This is an

656
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: easy move out with Ball Powell and in with Chris Ivory. Fabbs.

657
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: They paid the money they brought him in this offseason.

658
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be Ivory's alf I mean, this is

659
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: what we expected from him from week one, but he

660
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: had the hamstring injury. Let's hope that Shannah Hannigan's hasn't

661
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: infected the Ryan's right, because now we've got a guy

662
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: who looks like a featured back and blow Powell, like

663
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: you said, moving to the back of the line. All right.

664
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: We mentioned Doug Martin being out for the season as well.

665
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: This means the promotion of Mike James and rank you

666
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: like him to pick him up. I do like Mike

667
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: James because there's just not a lot of number one

668
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: running backs out there. So whenever somebody steps into that

669
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: lineup as the premier guy, you gotta go out and

670
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: grab him. Now. I'm not gonna guarantee you production like

671
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, but he's gon to get the opportunities and

672
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for from them. Waiver Wire, pick

673
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: him up, Adam to your roster. You don't have to

674
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: play him every week. There's gonna be some matchups that

675
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: are better than others, but have them on your roster

676
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: at least have that chance to play him because again,

677
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: opportunities are living. He is available in one hundred percent

678
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: of NFL dot com let so he's out there and

679
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: he's also guy you can trust to be out there

680
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: are three down back. He had a big Blitz pick

681
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: up on Sunday that resulted in the fifty nine yard touchdown.

682
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Pass for Mike Lennon Vincent Jackson. So you want those

683
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: guys have the opportunity. Mike Glennon surely has that opportunity.

684
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: And maybe you're starting Mike James this week. Who knows.

685
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: Take a look at the buys. You have six teams

686
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: on a by the Big Bear Bye week is back,

687
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: not just because the Bears are on a buy. And

688
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot of words begin with b Ravens, Bears, Texans, Colts, Chargers, Titans.

689
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: A lot of firepower on your bench. Make sure you

690
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: make the adjustable moves. But still yeah, still to come.

691
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: In NFL Fantasy Live, all the players who stole those

692
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: precious Fantasy points from the stars in your lineup strike

693
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: up the and that helps. No one is around the

694
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: corner with Adam Ranking. This young man, this is NFL

695
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: Fantasy Lives. A handsome devil. That kid. Now, Aaron is

696
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: my quarterback, and he's just usually he's guaranteed to get

697
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: me about thirty. I think first week he got me

698
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: forty five points. Struggled one week. Um, but he's been good.

699
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: Um it's you know, I've had Amndola, he's been hurt,

700
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, made running backs basically I sucked, be honest

701
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: with you. My wife. My wife is absolutely killing me.

702
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: Brett Farve plays fantasy. He can see the look on

703
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: his face. Guys, my team is injured. All he's got

704
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: it is beating him in the league. Was it good

705
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: for you? I love that man, And I've been in

706
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: the industry for so long, and to see guys like

707
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: Brett Farve and our man Kurt Warner and all the

708
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: guys playing, I love it. Yeah. Well, I need you

709
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: to call my brother and get him playing. I need

710
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: to get him play. I can get him in if

711
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: you can get far playing, not only that, to get

712
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: him to draft Aaron Rodgers. We can get your on

713
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: there fall Now, speaking of Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks,

714
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: Kurt Water is going to join NFL Fantasy Live on

715
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Thursday and fabs you. And I talked to him yesterday

716
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: and he has this dilemma every week he's doing fantasy

717
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: now as well. He doesn't know which quarterback to start

718
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: because he's got three really good ones. Yeah, Kurt texts

719
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: me every week and then if I give him bad advice,

720
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: he make sure that he lets me know about it

721
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: after the games are over. But typically this is his

722
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: biggest quandary. He's got three really good quarterbacks. He never

723
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: knows which one to start. Yesterday he texted me and said,

724
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I started Romo and I picked the wrong guy again.

725
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: All Right, the Philip Rivers is a top five quarterback.

726
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: You can start him, but you're not starting him this week.

727
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: Is Romo the guy this week? I do? Uh? And

728
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: if Kurt is watching, he's got a great match up

729
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: against the Lions. Although he had a great matchup against

730
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but this past week was a little bit crazy.

731
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: The Lions are gonna give up a lot of points. Hey,

732
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: you know what, Kim Newton's been fantastic. He's playing on

733
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night against tam Bay Buccaneers. I still like Gromo better, yeah,

734
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: you know. And I love the fact that this young kid,

735
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: Terence william is really developing. Has given a multiple options

736
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: to throw down the field now, and this offense is

737
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: already explosive without Williams is just an added dimension. Romo's

738
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: definitely to play there. Now you have Cam Newton on

739
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: our expert League? Are you happy with him going forward? Confident?

740
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: I am happy with Cam Newton. I mean, when you

741
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: look at the bottom stat line, you see a hundred

742
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: and seventy nine rush yards. That's always a surprise and

743
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: not a surprise, but it's always a treat to have

744
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: that in your running back when he has the ability

745
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: to run with his feet. All right, so you have

746
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: three guys, it's just make the right decision, ask Michael Fabiano,

747
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: and then if you know, if it happens, you can

748
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: just blame him, all right. The inconsistent Tony romo doesn't

749
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: always help Cowboys fans. And now for some other players

750
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: who helped absolutely nobody on Sunday, let's go to Adam Rank.

751
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: Thanks Jason. That's right. Each week we take a look

752
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: back and a bunch of unheard of players who robbed

753
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 1: precious fantasy points from the guys we actually started on Sunday.

754
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: It's a tear jerker for some curtain jerkers. Oh little

755
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: segment we like to call that helps no one. And

756
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: let's go to the video and we will start in Washington.

757
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: What do you think we're gonna build up for the Redskins. No,

758
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: you're wrong. It's like it's like the Black Crows coming

759
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: out with remedy. We're starting with the hits and there's

760
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: one touchdown to roy Hello, let's get another one. And

761
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I will tell you the us right now.

762
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: There is no way, there is no possible way this is.

763
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: This is personal because I came out on NFL Fantasy

764
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: Live on Sunday and I said Freddy Morris was gonna

765
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: have thirty three Fantasy points. And if you would have

766
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: taken the points that Roy Hello is getting right here,

767
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: those would have gone to Freddy Morris, he would have

768
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: got thirty three. Instead. It was a butt because that

769
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: that Hell's No. One Philadelphia. Joseph Rando was a huge

770
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: pickup of the week. We all started him and he

771
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: runs into the pile. I'm not gonna celebrate yet because

772
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know what number he is.

773
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: What number is forty one? Joey Okay, he's twenty one,

774
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: and that is number thirty four the h from Herschel No,

775
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: it's oh man. Phillip Tanner. Phillip Tanner started by absolutely

776
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: no man. That helps no one. Meadowlands. I told you

777
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: last week, just when we thought Stephen Ridley was gonna

778
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: get all the points, Brandon Bolden would come in and

779
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: snake it from us. And there it is right there,

780
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: and again I don't want to say this as a

781
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that Bill Belichick knew what Mike Shanahan was

782
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: doing and wanted to match him. There By the way,

783
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: conspiracy underrated song by the Black Crows and that one.

784
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: I can't even look at Tom Miami. Ryan Tannehill once

785
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: again going to be ignoring Mike Wallace as he throws

786
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: it here to Brandon Gibson Wakes like, Kayla Maroney, I'm

787
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: certainly unimpressed. Why is he going to him? We spent

788
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: all that money on Mike Wallace. Come on, Ryan Hannehill,

789
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: how wouna? If I give you another chance? Here you go.

790
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: He's right, he's looking, looking, looking, running running. Where's Mike Wallace?

791
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: Where's Mike Wallace? Dann again today? So on back to

792
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: the meadowlands, Gino Smith driving, and any time this happened,

793
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: we're like, you know what, We're not playing anybody on

794
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: the Jets. We want to Patriots pick six. That's all

795
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: we're rooting for. Then, of course, Gino Smith, whit's the

796
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: touchdown with a guy Jeremy Curly. I told to Jeremy

797
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: Curley he's gonna catch one touchdown like that. You did

798
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: not say that that. So let's go to our that

799
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: helps No. One All Stars And we talked a little

800
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: bit earlier about Roy Hallo about picking him up. What

801
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: about Brandon Bolden? Some people release him this week. Anybody's

802
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: gonna be picking him up for the future. Just not

803
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: enough consistency. I mean the only guy on that list

804
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: is Roy Hallu. Did you know over the last three

805
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: games he has more Fantasy Points than Freddy Morris. Looks unreal, right,

806
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: definitely makes gonna hit you style. Let's take a look

807
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: at the guys that we are advocating that you pick

808
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: up this week. Chris I Rage at Quiz Rogers, Percy Harvin.

809
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the biggest name, Babs? If

810
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: you're going to order these, Percy Harvy's gotta be number one.

811
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: The fact that he's still available in over of NFL

812
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: dot com leaks is shocking. If he comes back this week,

813
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the guy you're putting right into

814
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: your line up. But he's got a Monday and I

815
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: understand that. Well, I'll start him as a three. Al Right, Well,

816
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: thank you very much, guys. Now, remember if you want

817
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: to see her tweets featured on the show used the

818
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: hashtag that helps No One when you see a fantasy

819
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: touchdown that you know helps no one. And now it's

820
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: time for the that Helps No One Award Winner of

821

Speaker 1: the Week. Can I have a drumroll? Please? Mike Shanahan everybody, Yes,

822
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: of course, the red faced devil himself, the guy you

823
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: know when you start talking about all these running backs

824
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: by committee, it's Mike Shanahan who was the pioneer of

825
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: it all. So he is honored. Twenty two points. Those

826
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: twenty two points plus Freddy Morris is nine, that's thirty three.

827
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: That's Thurday three. That's almost looking at ranking city. Now

828
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: we take a look back at what we learned from Sunday.

829
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: This is NFL fantasy like, Yeah, of course, but I'm

830
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: gonna do it again. That's why the space is right.

831
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: The NFL is reaching out to its fans to find

832

834
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: official rules, please go to Together We Make Football dot Com.

835
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back fantasy fans, Sunday in the books. Time to

836
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: look back and see what we learned on Week seven? Right?

837
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: What you got? I learned that you always want to

838
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: start your studs. I had Jordy Nelson on the bench

839
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: of my Experts League team. I was gonna start Lamar

840
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: Miller over him, and then I realized, I'm gonna go

841
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: with my guy. I'm gonna go with with Jordy Nelson.

842
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: I understood he wasn't hurt. Like there's a difference when

843
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: a guy like Larry Fitzgerald or somebody like Roddy White

844
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: is injured and you want to ben him. But the

845
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: only reason I was considering this was because Joe Hayden

846
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be locked on him. But I realized, look,

847
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is his quarterback, He's the number one receiver.

848
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: He is going to be the most targeted guy. And

849
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: even if it takes you fifty nine minutes to finally

850
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: get this touchdown right there, it's worth it. You're doing

851
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: a lack around the room. What he scored, I was

852
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: high five, and everybody go and look at me. Worked

853
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: out for you with Jordy Nelson. Though for a point

854
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: specifically on Joe Hayden, take a look at what he's

855
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: done against fantasy wide receivers this season, shutting down Mike Wallace,

856
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: Torry Smith, Jerome Simpson, A J. Green, Calvin Johnson, Jordy

857
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: Nelson had the best game and that was just over

858
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: ten f to see points. So you really want to

859
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: watch out when your guy is going up against Joe Hayden.

860
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Here's what he has coming up. Dwayne Bow Well, he

861
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be on my team if he was playing,

862
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: But Tori Green, are we sure he's not gonna be

863
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: on Donnie Avery? But he's gonna go out that the

864
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs a number one if fats did you sit any

865
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: of these guys going up against Joe Hayden. You know what, Well,

866
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Dwyne Boe is gonna be on the bench this week

867
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: playing against the Cleveland Browns, that's for certain. Yeah, and

868
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: he gets to your point, he's not my stud, right,

869
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: it's Kevin Johnson was also brilliant. He was hurt in

870
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: that contest. But Joe Hayden's fantastic Week fifteen against Brandon

871
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: Marshall be very interesting. All right, how about Ober what

872
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: did you learn Week seven? Well, for me, it's never

873
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: ever doubt the Gronk and I, you know, I had

874
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: this whole belief that you know, when it came to

875
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: Gronkowski that he was not gonna be able to recover

876
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: from you know, being out, not having that opportunity to

877
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: get real live snaps. But he had some rust. He

878
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: showed some rust there, but he was still able with

879
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, with this Russ. He had seventeen targets his way,

880
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: less than half of them, eight them, but for a

881
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards. Even when he's not at his best,

882
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: Gronkowski is still a guy that you're gonna play every

883
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: single week from this point, um, because there's not a

884
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: linebacker group will cover them. And I saw that. I

885
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: was like, man, if you could to make those catches,

886
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: he would have been probably had points. Gronkowski's that real.

887
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: Never ever doubt the car bar. So you're saying football

888
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: is easier than we think. Uh No, I'm not saying

889
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: foot Bronkowski is really just that good. All right, What

890
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: did you learn a week seven? Well, you don't want

891
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: to lean on these no name quarterbacks too much, right,

892
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: And we all did it this week. We said Nicholes

893
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: was a good start. Yes he got hurt, but he

894
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything before he played there against the Dallas

895
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys and guys like Gino Smith. Yes, Jason, I know

896
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna jump on me. At a great game. But

897
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna really trust Gino Smith weekend in week out.

898
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: Same thing with the fad Lewis. Last week was fantastic,

899
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: this week not so much. Mike Lennon, He's been pretty

900
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: good the last couple of weeks. Do you trust him

901
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: to play him on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers

902
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: nine times on a ten. Right now, you're starting your

903
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: studs at the uarterback position, just like Adam said, So no,

904
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: Case Keenum, No, but you know what this week? But

905
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know, I'll tell you. Case Keendom made

906
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: a point to to really take that job from Matt

907
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: shob or or from Yates. So I think when you

908
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: look in those by situations you need to plug and

909
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: play quarterback. He's a guy that you might want to consider.

910
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: He could be a futures guy. Give par credit. He said,

911
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: Case Keenan was gonna be very good, and he was

912
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: very good in a tough atmosphere at He's a player

913
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: to watch. He's a player to watch right now. Right.

914
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: One thing I think we all learned week seven is

915
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: you gotta keep building your bench. You gotta keep getting

916
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: those free agents because you never know when you get

917
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: a week like Week seven, when there's so many players

918
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: out for the season, out for long periods of time.

919
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: You want to be able to take a guy that

920
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: you had on your bench and say, Okay, I can

921
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: put him in. I'm gonna lose Doug Martin. I can

922
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: put in Levy on Bell because I went out and

923
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: got him a few weeks ago. This is what you

924
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: have to do when you realize once you get to

925
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: the midseason, you have a huge advantage over everybody else. Yeah,

926
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: and so many injuries. You know, so many unfortunate injuries

927
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: this week, and we've seen it in about for the

928
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: season and there's been several So you want to make

929
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: that you're picking up players who gained opportunities because of

930
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: these vacated roster spots, especially when guys are starters. That's

931
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: why Mike James well worth picking up because Doug Martin

932
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: is out. Mike James is and Doug Martin. Yeah, you

933
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: got to get another name because of Doug Martin. Another

934
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: name is Roy Hallo. When you look at third down situations,

935
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: when you think about a third down back, we hear

936
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: that term all the time. What does that mean? You

937
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: want to back to his versatility. Roy Hallou. Remember he

938
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: only got out alphre Moore has got that job because

939
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: he was hurt last year. But Royal Lou is really good.

940
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: That's a good pickup if you want to build your

941
