12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: the whole Thanksgiving portion of the I know we're still

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: what a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving, but he's

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: really weirdly late this year. It's really yeah, it's really

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: really late. Wednesday Today is Wednesday, two weeks from tomorrow.

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Two weeks from tomorrow, right, so that would make it

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: what the eighth for Thanksgiving this year, which is funny.

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: I have, for whatever reason, I have had a lot

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: of friends whose birthday is on November um, and they

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: always sort of moaning complained that a lot of times

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: their birthday falls on Thanksgiving. In fact that I once

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: dated a girl who complained to me that her twenty

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: first birthday was on Thanksgiving Day, and so while everybody

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: else for their twenty first birthday got to go out

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: and party and get drunk, she was like at home

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: with her family and like, you know, having a Thanksgiving Day.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you get drunk at home with

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: your family, but it's not necessarily as yeah, it's not

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: quite the same, you know, as kind of going out.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I was in Vegas on my twenty

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: first birthday minds in the middle of the year, and jeez,

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: you know I was. I was. I was at some

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: some bar in New Haven, Connecticut. I can't I think

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: it was called Shooters or something like that. And I

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: remember the most about that is throwing up into an

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: empty tennis ball container and Buddy act tennis ball, right,

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. It was either all over his eats and

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: floor or into this thing. So I puke into it, finished,

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: throw it out. It's not that bit and go again. Wow,

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: that was you. Basically you made a nice little little

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: smoothie there and in the tennis foll container throw up again?

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's on the h you know, pass that

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: note uh YEA. Last week we talked about way too

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: early running back. This week we'll talk some way too

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: early wide receiver chat. Just for those of you who

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: season may not be going the way you wanted and

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: maybe have an eye towards twenty twenty. We'll talk to

48
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Ratcliff from Pro Football Focus get his thoughts on

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: some of these running back issues that have popped up

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: around the league in the last couple of weeks or so.

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: And because it is Wednesday, we'll do some dropper knots.

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: After you've made some of your waiver wire claims and

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: maybe you're trying to make some room on your roster

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: some guys that maybe you can clear out there a

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: little bit before we do all that, go behind the

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: glass and talk to our faithful producer seenor Edward L.

57
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Murphy esquire. I heard you had a celebrity sighting recently.

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: I had a good one. Yeah, And I only count

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the celebrity sightings when you're just out, you know, out

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: in the wild, no planned like I were, like in

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: the mountains. Some people like like, oh, if you are

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: at work, somebody came in, like doesn't count. Like you

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: have to be out and about you just like see

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: them random out exactly. Um. Yeah, So I was looking

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: after to be at the King's Wild game yesterday because

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: my girlfriend exactly, Yeah, that's what. I didn't even think

67
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: of that. And we were leaving the Kings won the

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: game and going down the escalator, and um, there was

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Alfie Allen, who plays theon Gray Joy from Game of Thrones,

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: and he was wearing a gray like the alternate King's jersey,

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and he had like a group of probably six seven

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: people with him and they were talking about their plans

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: where what they were doing later on, and um, I

74
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to say his name and cause attention to him.

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I also didn't want to disrespect him by calling him

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: the on, So I did the next best thing, which

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: was just you know, lock eyes with him for as

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: long as possible. Basically, I was yeah, I just yeah,

79
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I had a because to me, that was for our

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: show that obviously we all talked about it like it's

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: a big part of my life. And I was like

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: to see him. They are one of the men, know,

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: main characters. H probably one of the redeeming things to

84
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: come out of the last season. I think of Game

85
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: of Thrones to uh to see him person was pretty cool.

86
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: I wonder how much it pisses actors and actresses off

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: when people uh you know, mentioned them by the by

88
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: their character names. So this this happened like several years

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: ago at NFL Nework and I don't exactly remember who

90
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: it was, but John Ratzenburger was here. And if you're

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: a Cheers fan like John Ratzenberger, who actually was in

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: Star Wars by the way, he was one of the

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: one of the knob turners that was sort of you know,

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: I think it was very early in his career. So

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: someone who was involved in sort of getting him from

96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: point A to point B or whatever. I thought his

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: name was, Cliff was actually Cliff because he didn't know

98
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: who he was and he kept calling him Cliff, and

99
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: John Ratzenberger was piste, really pissed off. So, like it says,

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I wonder, like how actors and actresses are, like, you know,

101
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: it's not actually my real name. I think I would

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: have asked, Alfie, you know, um, do you regret killing

103
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: John Wicks Dog that too. Yeah, he's over being like

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: like to playing two of like the worst characters and

105
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: movies and television in recent time. But and he's like

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: so iconic, like you can see him, you know it's him,

107
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and he had like, you know, his thick accent and everything,

108
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: and it was it was cool too. And you said

109
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: he was like a little dude, right, he's extremely small.

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: He was like, I mean like five huh, it's pretty normal.

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: I feel like they've got to have the smaller guys

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: to kind of get not a big man, not a

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: large man. No, that show has guys who are like

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: closer to five foot and close to seven foot. There's

115
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: like there's you've got you know, you got Kid Harrington

116
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: and you've got like the Mountain, Mountain, the Hound stuff

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: like that. So oh man, always fun seeing celebrities out

118
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: in the wild. And the meantime, let's do some news.

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Let's starting in Atlanta. Some bad news for the Falcons

120
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: and for DeVante Freeman. He's got a foot spring he

121
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: could miss the next couple of weeks in the Atlanta offense.

122
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: So that means Brian Hill is next in line. And uh,

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: I mean Fabs. I would imagine he was a popular

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: ad last night, and I think this is a good

125
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: week to start him against that panther d. Yeah, their

126
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: defense has been awful against running backs, especially on the

127
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: road this week there on their home field. Hill sort

128
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: of projects as a guy who's like more of like

129
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: a between the tackles kind of guy. He's more of

130
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: a grinder. He's not like Freeman who can catch a

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: ton of balls out of the backfield. So um, I

132
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: think he is an RB two without question, potentially a

133
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: very good flex starter, just based on the fact that

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: workload appears to be you know, imminent, and the matchup

135
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: is extremely good. The Falcons are a really tough spot now.

136
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, not only is Edo Smith on i R

137
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: not as not only now is DeVonta Freeman hurt. They've

138
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: now got to go to like Brian Hill and Kenyan

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: Barner as their three and four bets here. So I'm

140
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: i'm I'm with you. I'm fully expecting Brian Hill to

141
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: get at least twenty touches in this spot. This Panthers

142
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: run defense has really struggled all year. I mean, they've

143
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: been in the bottom five of the most run defense

144
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: metrics all season. Don't you figure they gave up with

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: the four touchdown game to Tevin Coleman. They gave what

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: three to two Aaron Jones last week. I mean, they

147
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: have been getting shredded by a lot of running backs.

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: So Brian Hill potentially is the next one in line

149
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: that to have a big game. Speaking of running back news, Uh,

150
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: you'll be shocked to hear this, but Matt Breed has

151
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: heard again. Guys, wonderful, I know that that never happens. Um,

152
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: he has a sprained ankle. He's going for a second

153
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: opinion on has a sprained ankle every I feel like

154
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: he was born with a sprained name. I mean, at

155
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: this point, man, he just can't make it through a

156
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: game healthy. It's just it's getting it's it's I feel

157
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: bad for him. It's getting sad. Yeah, I mean it's rough.

158
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Although you know, we also remember last year when he

159
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: had a sprained ankle and it seemed like he was

160
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: at the on the point of amputation nearly and we

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: would make contingency plans. I didn't show up and he

162
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: need run for like ninety yards in a touchdown. He

163
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: was a game time decision. Like every game, like every

164
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: and every single week he would ball out do well.

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: It was amazing. Um, but this looks like he actually

166
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: may miss some time. Those are the reports that he

167
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: will will not be available at the forty nine is

168
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: for an indeterminate amount of time. Um, so obviously you

169
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: know that means Tevin Coleman probably takes on a bigger workload.

170
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: But I mean, Grammar, are we cool with what he most?

171
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: If we have to be? Yeah, I mean I think

172
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: if you're if you're truly desperate at the at the

173
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: RB spot this weekend, you could roll out most diret

174
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: He provided some decent flex value for you while Tevin

175
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Coleman was out earlier this year. But I just think

176
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: this is another really good spot for Tevin Coleman to

177
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: get going. I know you just mentioned that Panthers game

178
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: that was back now two weeks ago. Last two weeks

179
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: have not been good for Coleman. He's been a little

180
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: bit lower on the touch account. But with Matt Breed

181
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: out of the lineup at home favorite against the Cardinals

182
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: should be a really good matchup for him to exploit. Yeah,

183
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's so weird though, on Monday night to

184
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: see most are in kind of late in that game,

185
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: especially in over It was right, yeah he was. He

186
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: was getting a lot of work there. So uh, you know,

187
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: I I still have somebody who has Tevin Coleman on

188
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: a couple of rosters. Um, I'm hoping he gets a

189
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: bigger workload without Brita. But you know Shannahannigan's man, it

190
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: runs in the family, so you never you never really know.

191
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of that, Mr Ninners here, what

192
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: was up with that coin toss thing? So apparently toss

193
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: apparently did you hear about that? Gino says he called heads,

194
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: although he did have a tweet where he said, hales,

195
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: that was his tweet. I thinks a sort of poke

196
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: fun at it, um. But in fact, our own Jim

197
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Trotter was on NFL Now yesterday saying that he did

198
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: talk to Geno Smith, and Gino said he called heads now.

199
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: Gino also said he called heads because before the game,

200
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had called tails, and so he felt like,

201
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: I think the comment was something that mathematically the odds

202
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: of it coming up heads were greater, which makes no

203
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: sense at all, because that's not That's not how it works.

204
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Each coin flip is an individual event, and so the

205
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: odds will always be fifty fifty like it doesn't it

206
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: doesn't ever change, But you do you, Gino? I mean,

207
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I guess it worked. So strange though, because like there

208
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: was there was, there was a clip on TMZ and

209
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: it was clear that he had said one thing. But

210
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: then one of our researchers, Matt Frederick, showed me another

211
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: video and listen to that and it's Laurel versus Yanni.

212
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Sounds like the other thing. It's Laurel versus Yanni. Right, Like,

213
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: it depends on where you're listening or who you are

214
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: that you probably heard different things. I guess. My My

215
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: point to it though, is that when the ref said heads,

216
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: you know it is heads. Nobody argued with it, right,

217
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: like when Jerome Bettest you know, when when the famous

218
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Jerome Bettest one happened, like he actually screamed him was upset.

219
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I definitely feel like Richard Sherman,

220
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: had he said tales, would have been like I would.

221
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Richard sure would have called it out like nobody blinked

222
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: and I, you know, everybody just kind of went on

223
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: about it. So I felt like the refs must have

224
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: got it right. Yeah. UM. Other injury news, Brandon Cooks

225
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: has already been ruled out for the Rams week eleven

226
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: game as he continues to deal with concussion symptoms. UM

227
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, from just a personal standpoint for him, this

228
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: is I think kind of becoming disturbing a little bit.

229
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: He's had a number of and issues. This one is

230
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: starting to last a little bit longer, and so you

231
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: sort of wonder about his long term health there. So

232
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: that's something, uh, definitely to be concerned about for our

233
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: perspective though, Vibs, I mean, do we feel okay with

234
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds. We know he's going to be on the field,

235
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: he just seems like he's very risk reward, right bro.

236
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: This offense is garbage right now like that. It's so

237
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: strange to say that because of what they were last year,

238
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: and we remember that Chiefs game and and just I mean, yeah,

239
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: every week this offense, it's not the same offense. Clearly

240
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: we're already in week eleven. I don't trust any Rams.

241
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I might trust Gerald every more than I trust any Ram.

242
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: And that includes Todd Gurley, Cooper Cup who didn't he

243
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think last last week really bad week,

244
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: but I still you have no catches. Yeah, the Cooper

245
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Cup I would I still I would trust as well.

246
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: But it is one of those things where like you

247
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: don't want shares of players who are borderline rosterable in

248
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: your starting lineup when the offense is awful. So and

249
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: they're playing the Bears this week, this could end up

250
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: being a low scoring game. Heck, I'd be afraid of

251
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Robert Woods this week, quite honest with you. Is gonna

252
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: have a nice bounce back game. I don't think that's

253
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: that's necessarily a bold call. But yeah, man, this this

254
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Rams team is not. These are not the same Rams

255
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: that we were. We were expecting these Rams that we

256
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: had last year or the year before. It's not. It's

257
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a lesson to everybody out there that, you know what,

258
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: just because something was great one season doesn't necessarily mean

259
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be great again. And the Rams are

260
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: are proof of that. And this is this is another

261
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: brutal match up here for Jared Goff. I mean, pressure,

262
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: heavy front seven, very talented from want anything to do

263
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: with him this week. I actually I drop them. I

264
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: ain't And I go back to I feel like last

265
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: year against the Bears, I think I said this earlier,

266
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: like that's when sort of that the clients started for

267
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, that they you know, they kind of beat

268
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: him up a little bit, And um, I don't know

269
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: if I can say this, I think he started seeing ghosts.

270
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna get in trouble now, Um,

271
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: but he hasn't really been the same quarterback since then.

272
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: We saw it all through the postseason, and we've seen

273
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: it for quite a bit of this season. You're gonna

274
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: have a very very kind email in your inbox. Yeah,

275
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: I know. UM, so if I'm not here next week, UM,

276
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: you know that I love you all. Uh. A bit

277
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: of news that actually just came across uh Twitter dot

278
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: com as we were sitting here and talking. Um, the

279
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Bengals have clear John Ross to return to practice. Uh.

280
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: He's actually eligible to play in Cleveland or at Cleveland,

281
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I should say, on December eighth. He can start practicing

282
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: with the team now. Um. I mean, look, the Bengals

283
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: haven't really offered us much in terms of production, with

284
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: a few maybe hits here and there. This basically means

285
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: that John Ross is available for the Fantasy playoffs. The

286
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, they're at Cleveland. Week fifteen their home against

287
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Week sixteen, they are at Miami. Two of

288
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: those three aren't terrible. I mean, when it comes time

289
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: if you need a wide receiver, what either of you

290
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: consider John Ross, probably Ryan Finnlay, Ryan Finley, and Ryan

291
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Finley last week and in the pre season just basically

292
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: did not throw deep. And that's what we need for

293
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: John Ross, right, I mean, we need Ross to get

294
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: those deep targets. And with Finley back there, I have

295
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: no confidence that they're gonna by the way, they're gonna

296
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: get it going. I saw as an owner of Joe Mixon,

297
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: I like Ryan Finley. I saw I saw a play

298
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: where Ryan Finley was legitimately not pressured on tape, was

299
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: going down the field on the sideline wide open. He

300
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: just threw it out a bounds, just chucked it out

301
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: of bound, just threw it away. I mean, I mean

302
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Finley was I'll put it this way. He was interesting

303
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: last being kind, Yeah, and he was so interesting that

304
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders are one of the top defensive streamers. Absolutely,

305
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: and they had a huge against the Chargers. Yeah, I

306
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: mean they played well against they played well against the

307
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: good quarterback. How they get the face Ryan Finley. Yeah, Yeah,

308
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: it's odd. It's always odd to put in a waiver

309
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: claim for like the Raiders defense though, right, right, Like

310
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what, because I am haunted by the Nick

311
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Mullins game. Oh yeah about that third string quarterback comes

312
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: in and we all thought, hey, yes, start the race,

313
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: and they I think that was a third night it was. Yes. Um.

314
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look if if it makes you feel any

315
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: better as a few years ago when I said the

316
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Raiders were a sleeper defense and then Nick folds through

317
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. So yeah, that part, so it happens. Last

318
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: piece of news, Dwayne Haskins has been named the quarterback

319
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: starter in Washington for the rest of the season. I mean,

320
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: Graham from a football standpoint, I'm just I'm curious to

321
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: watch him play and see him developed and see what

322
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: he can do. From a fantasy standpoint, R I p

323
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. I will remember. Yeah, the match up to

324
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: match up is is pretty good. Yeah, And with four

325
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: teams off, would you guys completely fade Terry McLaurin, like

326
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: you're not playing him, like you're so so you're gonna play,

327
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna play Marvin Jones over him. This week,

328
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones got a bad matchup with Jeff Drisco under center.

329
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: I can I can see I'm just ask Yeah, I

330
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: can see a way where I could flex McLaurin um,

331
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: and maybe this looks and I know this logic maybe

332
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: faulty sub times, but it kind of it kind of

333
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: falls back on the look. Somebody's got to get targets

334
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: in that offense sort of thing, and McClaren has been

335
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the guy who most consistently gets open. Yeah, that's fair,

336
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: And obviously the Jets is just such an easy draw.

337
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: But but Haskins this year, guys, has just been I mean,

338
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: he's been awful. He's been terrible. He's been awful. He's

339
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: played nineties six snaps this year and he's already thrown

340
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: four picks and taking eight sacks. So that's not saying

341
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: is that the Jets are a second for the second

342
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: week in a row. Are a great streamer? Yeah, yeah,

343
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: except that they he has actually had a good game

344
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: against them, now I know, but they had nineteen points. Yeah,

345
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: just snatching the ball. I like Jets this week, and

346
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the run defense is really good. I think they can

347
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: stop this this Redskins run offense. But yeah, Haskins man,

348
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it depends on obviously, who else

349
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: you have on your bench. I think Marvin Jones first.

350
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: McLaren is really close that's a good that's probably a

351
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: really good one with McLaren. To be honest with you,

352
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: I would I would consider it too. It's a good

353
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: one for for sure. But I think at this point

354
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: we just really have to temper expectations from mcclarin moving forward,

355
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: and and you know the matchup is right at least. Yeah,

356
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of what you you can

357
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: fall back on if you were faced to with with

358
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: that decision with you know, McLaren or somebody else on

359
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: your roster. So there you go. That's pretty much everything

360
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: you need to know. Back here joining us again is

361
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: our pal Jeff Rackliffe and Pro Football Focus. We love

362
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: talking to him on Wednesday's getting his take on the

363
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: fantasy football world. Jeff as always appreciate your time. How

364
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: you feeling today? I am feeling good. I guess I'm

365
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: getting into that second wave where you know, after you

366
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: stay up for twenty four hours straight, you're good for

367
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: another Like That's how I feel right now. But hey,

368
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: last week was crazy. A lot of stuff we didn't

369
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: expect to see we're seeing and this is this just

370
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: shows us the NFL every single week, unpredictable. Yeah, absolutely,

371
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: And speaking of unpredictable. I mean, let's let's start in

372
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: that Cardinals backfield, right, because we weren't quite sure what

373
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: to expect with both David Johnson and Kenyan Drake being there,

374
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: and it just, uh, it was not great, especially if

375
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: you had David Johnson in your lineup. It was not

376
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: what you wanted to see. And so now that sort

377
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: of begs the question, I mean, looks like Keen and

378
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Drake maybe taking over. Maybe I'm wrong, but what do

379
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: we do with David Johnson? Now, well, yeah, last week

380
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: we kind of had the right idea, but the wrong players. Right.

381
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: We thought, all right, well, David Johnson is going to

382
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: be sort of an RV two and then Kenyan Drake

383
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: kind of a flex type guy. Yeah, it was the

384
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: other way around. And honestly, Johnson does not look like

385
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: the player he was a few years ago, and it

386
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising. The twenty seven year old running back

387
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: is on the decline. But he's really not able to

388
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: do anything independent of his blocking. This is a stat

389
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: that I pointed out before he was heard. I said that,

390
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, so far this season, we saw Chase Edmonds

391
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: was very effective after contact. He was averaging over three

392
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: yards after contact. That was before David Johnson got hurt.

393
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: David Johnson was at one point nine nine. He is

394
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: still at one point nine nine, remarkably after last week.

395
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: But that is not good. The Mendoza line in baseball,

396
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: we know that you know the batting average under two. Well,

397
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: it just sort of a Mendoza line that we have

398
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: here as well. This is not an area where we

399
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: want to be. I want to see these guys at

400
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: least three yards after contact for a ted. So unfortunately,

401
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: right now you're just hoping you can get flex value

402
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: out of David Johnson going forward. Hey, pal so, uh,

403
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: I consider you one of the best in the business. Um,

404
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: love your stuff and I like to pick some of

405
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: my favorites their brains, uh, in terms of what their

406
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: thought processes when they are are putting the other projection

407
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: starts and since that kind of thing. So last week,

408
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers was playing the Raiders, okay, and I knew

409
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: that he had been bad in Oakland, but the Raiders

410
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: defense had been bad against quarterbacks, so everyone started Rivers

411
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: and he sucked. Okay. Last week, Drew Brees was at

412
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: home against Atlanta. Atlanta's defense was awful against quarterbacks, said

413
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: the Saints were coming off of by Breeze sucked eleven

414
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: points this week. Everyone is all over Breeze. He's gonna

415
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: bounce back. The Buccaneers are awful against quarterbacks, except that

416
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Breeze has scored four to interviewer fantasy points in four

417
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: of his last five games in Tampa Bay, and he's

418
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: averaging fifteen points per game in his last twenty in

419
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: outdoor road games. Which one makes more sense to you?

420
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: Do I want to play the Breeze is playing the

421
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: Buccaneers now and they stink against quarterbacks, so he's a

422
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 1: must start? Or am I playing? Drew Brees is not

423
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: reliable in outdoor road games and he has struggled in

424
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in his career. I'm benching him. Well, I

425
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but I'm going to go after

426
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers defense. I mean, it's just a simple fact

427
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: of the matter is the defense is so bad. They're

428
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: they're so bad that the Atlanta's defense was so bad. Yeah,

429
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: they just cut Fern. That's what I'm saying. I get it,

430
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, like we're like I'm not saying that,

431
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: like I have Breeze and I'm playing in this week,

432
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: but I love to dig into those little trends that

433
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: might get people thinking. And so obviously Breese is a

434
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna play, but we all thought he was

435
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a great play last week and he was terrible.

436
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: So is there any hesitation for you, Like, if you

437
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen, would you play him over Drew Brees

438
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: this week? Knowing that Breeze has struggled in outdoor road

439
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: games and he's struggled in Tampa Bay, Well, you know,

440
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: it's surprisingly close. So to enter the week, I have

441
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: Breeze at three and Alan actually it's six, So I

442
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: am pushing the chips in the middle on Allen this week.

443
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: But I still think, you know, you have to you

444
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: have to make the strongest percentage plays. So that's that

445
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: you asked for the thought process. And I often think,

446
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: not am I playing this game this week one time? Only?

447
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I think in my mind, if I play this game

448
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: a hundred times, how many times would I start Drew

449
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: Brees over Josh Allen? And it would certainly be more

450
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: than of the time. So therefore I'm starting Drew Brees.

451
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a hundred percent of the time.

452
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I know, because I think there is some merit to

453
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this week. So it's a good point also

454
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: to build off of this really quickly. Drew Brees terrible game.

455
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, it didn't matter. Is unbelievable. Does he top

456
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: a hundred receptions this week? Like, this guy is gonna

457
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: set the record so high. This is gonna be like

458
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the Di Maggio hitting streak. Why are we talking about

459
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: baseball so much today? But so high? This is unreal.

460
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: The guy has the highest fantasy floor of any player

461
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: that I can remember. It's insane. I mean, it's like

462
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: every single week it doesn't even matter, doesn't matter the matchup,

463
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's covering him, doesn't matter who's throwing the

464
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: ball to me. Even with Teddy Bridgewater, Michael Thomas was

465
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: still doing Michael Thomas things. It's absurd. Um, So what

466
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: we didn't see in Arizona, I feel like we did

467
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: see in Cleveland with their running backs with Kareem Hunt,

468
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, working with Nick Chubb there. Um, he spent

469
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of time hunting kind of as a pass

470
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: catcher and and really you know, gave some pretty decent

471
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: numbers there. So now, are we comfortable with him as

472
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: a flex at least for the rest of the season

473
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: or is this maybe just a one week kind of

474
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: tryout thing. No, I think we are. I was expecting

475
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson plus in the offense with Kareem Hunt, and

476
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what we got. Everybody who was panicking

477
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb, He's still had twenty carries. He's you know,

478
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: you you think like eighteen to twenty two carries for

479
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, one or two receptions and then Kareem Handld

480
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: clean up the rest of the carries, so four or

481
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: five six carries. But he could you know, this guy

482
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: could easily catch five, six, eight nine balls a game

483
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: going forward here. So definitely, especially if you're a PPR

484
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: and a PPR format even half point PPR, you can

485
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: get away with him as a flex or better. And

486
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. And and it's interesting that was

487
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: a tough game, like that's a tough defense that they

488
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: went up against, and Cleveland didn't look phenomenal on the

489
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. But it looked a little

490
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: bit different out there with Hunt than than it did

491
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: before he returned from suspension. So I think this is

492
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: interesting going forward. Um, there are these this is this

493
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: chatter and maybe it's just internet chatter, maybe it's just

494
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: scuttle but because the Giants aren't play a well. But now,

495
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, just all of a sudden, this talk yesterday

496
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: of Sa Kwon Barkley being shut down for the season

497
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: popped up, and you know he's denying it. Pat Schermer's

498
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: denying it. Um, but you know, you gotta feel like

499
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: it's coming from somewhere. Is this something we should pay

500
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: attention to or is this just you know, the New

501
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: York media trying to clear a story because the Giants

502
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: are bad. I think it's a bit of both, right,

503
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: and And you know, initially when that injury happened, we

504
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: heard a four to eight week timetable, and I was

505
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: hearing rumblings behind the scenes that it was going to

506
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: be closer to eight weeks. And obviously Barkley rushed back,

507
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: got back on the field and credit where credits due.

508
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: The dude wants to compete and you've got to give

509
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: him that. But maybe he did come back a little

510
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: too early. That being said, I don't think he gets

511
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: shut down. Just the type of player that he is

512
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: also though, it is that time of year where it

513
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: is handcuff season, So Wayne Goldman, if he's available on waivers,

514
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: you gotta scoop him up. We know he'll be a factor.

515
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: He's not sa Kwon Barkley, but in December fantasy football,

516
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: every year there are guys who aren't the best running

517
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: backs who end up helping you win a championship. So

518
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: we gotta scoop guys like him up just in case.

519
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Um so we talked some baseball, let's talk a little basketball.

520
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: Are you buying this Lashawn McCoy Kawhi Leonard load management thing?

521
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: Are you buying this argument? That is hilarious? That was

522
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: exactly what I was gonna say. What is this bad?

523
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: I love the Michael Jordan quote. By the way, Michael

524
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: Jordan's told told his players, you're paid to play eighty

525
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: two games. Um, which I respect that, but anyway, I

526
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: don't buy it. I don't buy it one bit. McCoy

527
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: had a little bit of bursts like a like an

528
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: older running back will in September, but started to fade

529
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: in October. And at this point, you know, it didn't

530
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: look like the Damian Williams thing was gonna actually happen

531
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: this year. Well, now it does, and he's looked pretty decent.

532
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: They're giving him volume. Obviously, Hey, your numbers are gonna

533
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: be skewed when you have a long touchdown run. But

534
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is he's capable of that

535
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: long touchdown run. We've already seen it happen once, so

536
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: actually like him going forward. And if you have Lashawn

537
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: McCoy at this point, I really don't have any issue

538
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: dropping him in our handcuff chart. I actually changed everything,

539
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: so now I have Damian Williams is obviously the league

540
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: and Darryl Williams is the priority handcuff. I think that

541
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, Lashawn McCoy, even even to start

542
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: the year, I don't think he was really blowing anybody

543
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: out of the water. But like you mentioned, I think

544
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: his play really started a fat late. And Damian Williams

545
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: has played well over the Chief snaps now and back

546
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: to back game, so it does look like at least

547
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: he's going to get the featured role and get the

548
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: shot to get a featured roll down the stretch here.

549
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: Uh is O. J. Howard back in our lives? Or

550
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: was this just he was playing the Cardinals, and you know,

551
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: tight ends versus the Cardinals, etcetera, etcetera. It's really that,

552
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: and please be what is he gonna score four touchdowns?

553
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, like, what is he gonna do in this matchup?

554
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: Even Rossdwlly? If if he can't go, then he's gonna

555
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: be interesting at least. Now. The thing about it, though,

556
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: is it was the obvious call of the years stream

557
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: O J. Howard last week. But I'm hoping that there's

558
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: just the tiniest bit of a chance that this kind

559
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: of gets thing is moving in the right direction. Forums.

560
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to be anything better than a

561
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: fringe tight end one the rest of the way. But

562
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: when I go through my rankings every single week, I

563
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: stopped at about the seventh or eight tight end, and

564
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: then literally from that tight end until like the twenty

565
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: tight end, it is all the same guy. They're all

566
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: three for thirty two tight ends, and whether they score

567
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown or not is whether you think they're good

568
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: or not, right, And that was what Howard was last week.

569
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: Basically pretty much he got in the end zone those

570
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: so it was a good play. So I think we

571
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: should be looking at him as a streamer depending on

572
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: the weeks going forward. Uh, this week, this week is

573
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, you know, not them not having Lattimore

574
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: though very likely, should mean a lot of the wide receiver.

575
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: So I don't think this is gonna be a big

576
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: O J Howard week. You know, you talk about those

577
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: kind of like middle road, you know, kind of bottom

578
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: tier tight ends, and I always feel like when I

579
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: get a question on Twitter or something about, you know,

580
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: choosing between some of these tight ends, it's almost like

581
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: the do I flip a coin, do I plan out

582
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: the magic eight ball? All? Like, how do I just

583
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of determine? Because you're right, there's so many of

584
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: these guys are so much the same, and it really

585
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: is just about whether or not they can kind of

586
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: figure out their way into the end zone to actually

587
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: to make this thing happen. It's I don't know, we'll

588
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: get better next year. I know we say this every year,

589
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: Jeff will will you get better next year? Tight end? Well,

590
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The thing that I like about

591
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: the young tight ends today is they're not like and

592
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: it's not to knock Jason Witten, but the big lumbering

593
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, five oh forty tight ends, right, that that

594
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: they're good both ways, they can block, etcetera. That tight

595
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: end is being replaced by some of these guys. I

596
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: mean you look at Noah Fan, T. J. Hockinson, who

597
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: is a two way tight end um or earth Smith

598
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: who's emerging. Now. These guys are super athletic. When you're

599
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: talking a guy like an Evan Ingram who can run

600
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: a four or four or forty at his size, this

601
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: is a totally different dynamic. Dallas Goddard like, I think

602
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: it will get better. It's just like anything with tight end,

603
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna take us a little bit of time. It

604
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: takes time for these guys to develop. But in three

605
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: or four years, knock on wood right now, knockout. Let's

606
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: hope that we actually have at least a dozen tight

607
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: ends who we can start each tweek. That knocking on

608
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: wood thing actually seems to work the raiders, aren't. I

609
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: mean it work for John right. I was about to say,

610
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Titan's gonna bounce back a knock on. What if you're

611

Speaker 1: you guys do. Thanks again to Jeff Racliffe for his time.

618
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: I think we'll talk to him in a couple of weeks.

619
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Effect just before Thanksgiving will be the next time we

620
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: check in with Jeff. But I'm sure you will check

621
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: in with him. Facts. Like you said, if if if

622
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: D goes south, Yeah, it's almost like the I don't

623
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: mean directionally now he will be going south, isn't it south?

624
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: It's like southeast slightly's probably more east than south. And

625
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: it's like it's like the nurture versus nature thing, right,

626
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: like where people want to know, well, are people born

627
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: that way or they raised that way? That kind of thing.

628
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: Is it more important to look at a player's trend

629
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: in this specific place or what's going on right now?

630
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: And last week against Rivers uh, and then in the

631
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: Raiders which I mentioned, Rivers sucked against a really bad

632
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Oakland defense, and he had been bad in Oakland and

633
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: I believe three of his four previous games. So it's

634
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens. I just like throwing that

635
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: stuff out there and seeing what some of the smart

636
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: minds say about it. Yeah, no doubt. Um. Alright, So,

637
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, as we kind of start to look ahead

638
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: for for some of you out there who maybe have

639
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: not had the best fantasy season and are starting to

640
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of plan the next year. Last week we talked

641
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: about running backs and maybe some guys who will move

642
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: up into the third round and guys who will fall

643
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: out of the top three rounds. Um figured do the

644
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: same with with some wide receivers, which maybe was a

645
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: little bit tougher in some respects um So I sort

646
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: of tweaked it a little bit. I do have three

647
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers who were, you know, right around the top

648
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: three rounds in most leagues, who you know may or

649
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: may not be there next year. And so I think

650
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: on the surface, it's easy to look at these names

651
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: and say no way. So I'm gonna be Devil's advocate

652
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: and sort of try to make a case for how

653
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: they could possibly stay in the top three rounds. And

654
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: you guys can tell me if I'm full of crap

655
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: or not. Um. The first one, Odell Beckham Jr. Who

656
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: has been one of the bigger disappointments easily in fantasy

657
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: football this year. Um, and it's not totally on him,

658
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: And I guess that's my point, right it It hasn't

659
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: totally been his fault. Baker Mayfield has struggled, He has

660
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: looked panicked in the pocket this year. The offensive line

661
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: has had issues. Freddie Kitchen's play calling has left a

662
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: lot to be desired at times. So it hasn't been

663
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: an issue of Odell suddenly forgetting how to play football.

664
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: It's that everything around him has sort of been bad. Um.

665
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: But you know, with the Browns the last couple of

666
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: weeks have started to kind of put some things together.

667
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: They get in, they get a nice win against the

668
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Maybe things are starting to kind of gel

669
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, and maybe the end of the season,

670
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: with it being an easier schedule, uh, is enough to

671
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of get this offense going and maybe get it

672
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: confidence going into next year. So, Uh, if you spend

673
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: that narrative in your head the way I just did,

674
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: can you convince yourself that maybe Odell sneaks into the

675
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: back end of the third round next year? Probably I

676
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: would think so. I mean, still one of the most

677
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: talented guys. The Browns have to address their offensive line

678
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: in the off season. I don't know if Freddy Kitchens

679
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: is going to be the coach there next year, so

680
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that are sort of still

681
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: up in the air. Browns will have a new coach

682
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: next year, but but I would say he's still a

683
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: borderline top thirty pick. Yeah, the Browns will have a

684
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: new coach next year, and that'll that'll, I think, swing

685
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people's opinions based on who they get,

686
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: what kind of offense we're looking at. I mean, the

687
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens experiment. I mean I was, I was excited.

688
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: I think we all were. But is it is definitely

689
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: not gone to expectation, has not worked out, hasn't worked

690
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: out at all. All right, all right, so that one

691
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: better than I thought it would. Um the next one

692
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: off the Juju Smith Schuster again, another one of the

693
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: huge disappointments this year. I guess my only my only

694
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: response to it is, look, man, we didn't know Ben

695
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's arm was going to disintegrate sometime in Week one,

696
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: and then he was going to have to deal with

697
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. You know, Devlin Hodges for a week. I

698
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: mean losing I mean, obviously, losing love Bell and Antonio

699
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Brown takes a lot out of the offense, but losing

700
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, you have you literally have lost the trigger

701
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: man that that that throws the football there. Um. I

702
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: don't expect Juju to be a second round pick next

703
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: year the way he was this year, but I think

704
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: we can again if if Roethlisberger is coming back the

705
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: way he says, we can talk ourselves into the top

706
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: three rounds again. Right, Juju is gonna be I think

707
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: the most obvious bounce back candidate of the season next year.

708
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: It'll make sense. I mean, big Ben will be back,

709
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: hopefully he still has a few years left on his seal,

710
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure he's been He's been pretty adamant that.

711
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: I think he says he wants to come back, wants

712
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: to come back for another year. Juju is gonna be

713
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: a great bounce back Canadon. I think everybody's gonna be on.

714
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: And if he slips into that like early third round range,

715
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: I I I foreseeing myself taking him quite often in

716
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: that in that spot. All right, um, so last one

717
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: for that group. Julian Edelman, who right now is the

718
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: wider siver nine. Um, he's the wide receiver nine every

719
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: single year, right, there's no higher than six, and he

720
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: goes like, no lower than twelve. It's great suspended. That's

721
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: where he ends up. So he's he's wide receiver nine

722
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: right now as we speak. Um, look and every year, right,

723
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: we will get to July and we'll get to August,

724
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: and it'll be the like how much longer can Tom

725
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: Brady play? I mean, you know, at some point the Browns,

726
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense is gonna start to fall apart, right,

727
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: there's going to be a decline. They're gonna bring in

728
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: a new wide receiver, right, I mean, hey, look, maybe

729
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: Nikkill Harry developed a little bit more. Maybe we uh,

730
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, we we find somebody else, Maybe they drafted somebody,

731
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: they picked somebody up in free agency, right, and and

732
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: that'll be the beginning of the end for Julian Edelman. Um,

733
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, and I say this, and then we'll get

734
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: to next November and he'll be the wide receiver nine again.

735
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: But are we going to possibly talk ourselves out of

736
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman being a top three round pick? So we

737
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: assume Tom Brady's back, right, He's gonna play until like

738
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: he's fifty. I mean, we also assume that the Patriots

739
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: aren't bringing in any other big name receivers, Like you

740
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: could totally see a j Green going to the Patriots,

741
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: right or I would think Patriots are or maybe the

742
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: Raiders that could end up being. But so as things stand,

743
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: I probably I probably still look at him as more

744
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: of like a like a fourth round pick, So I

745
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know if he's top thirty. I think with one

746
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: thing that I've made a mistake on this year is

747
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: like there are pockets in team building right where you

748
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: need to draft for upside, and we just mentioned where

749
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman does not have a ton of Like he's

750
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: not going to finish top three or top four. The

751
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: position it always comes down, I think to me, is

752
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: like what's your team build look like? You know, if

753
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: you just need a solid receiver to a solid floor

754
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: of points. Edelman is always a great option in the

755
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: third or fourth round. But Chris Godden was a fourth

756
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: round pick this year, and there's still plenty of times

757
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: where I took Edelman over Godwin and people took Godwin

758
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: over Edelman. So it always comes down to kind of

759
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: like what the risk profile is. And Edelman will be

760
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: thirty three next year. You know that's that's not exactly

761
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: the age I think you want to be drafting receivers.

762
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: Had the Yeah, I'm looking at some of the potential

763
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: free agent wide receivers you mentioned. A J Green is one.

764
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Mary Cooper technically could hit free agency, although

765
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: I would imagine the Cowboys are gonna get better. I'd

766
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: imagine the Cowboys gonna get something done to keep him there.

767
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: So I sort of think that he is. He's kind

768
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: of out of play for for most teams there. Um,

769
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know that it's a really great free

770
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: agent wide receiver class. I mean Robbie Anderson, um, which

771
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson seems like the kind of thing Bill Belichick

772
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: will do just to like pump him for information the

773
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: fact that they need more information to beat the Jets.

774
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: But like that just seems like a Bill Belichick signing anyway.

775
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: So um, all right, Okay, So we'll flip now to

776
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: guys who I'm pretty sure all these guys are gonna

777
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: end up in the top three rounds, but it's just

778
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: a question of how high into the top three rounds

779
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: of these guys go like some of them creep in

780
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: the round one? Are they you know? High? Second round picks?

781
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: Where are they? Uh? The first one? And you you

782
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: sort of touched on him a little bit. Graham, Chris Godwin,

783
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: who's been fantastic. It's wild. You look at the wide

784
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: receiver standings, Um, Michael Thomas is number one, No shock two.

785
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: Three are both Buccaneers. Mike Evan did to Chris godwin't

786
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: have three. Both those guys have been lights out so

787
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: far this year. Although Godwin has slowed over the last week,

788
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: he came out the gates so quickly smoking, you know,

789
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean he had a forty one. He had forty

790
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: one points in week four, thirty one points in week five,

791
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: So I think he's sort of coming back. Who gets

792
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: picked ahead of who next year? I think Godwin goes

793
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: for I just I think because of youth. I think

794
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: just Evans just got I mean, Evans an't an old man.

795
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: Now three games with thirty six or more points and

796
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: it's week al Yeah, it's it's so. Both of them

797
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: have just had unbelievable just low new tune ceilings. Right,

798
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: they're just putting up unbelievable numbers. I think both will

799
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: be probably back in first round picks next year. I

800
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: think that's what we're probably looking at. I think i'd

801
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: go Godwin just because of his role in that offense,

802
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: just in slot receiver role. He's going to catch a

803
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: few more balls. He's already got six more catches this year.

804
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: But evans Is yardage ceiling is just so crazy because

805
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: James loves throwing him, throwing him the rock down field.

806
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: So you talk about God when jumping into the first round,

807
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: does New Nuke fall out of the first round next year,

808
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: He'll be on that discussion. He'll be right around there

809
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: with Evans and God when I bet you yeah, I'm

810
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: just I mean, and look you look at his his

811
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: catch numbers like they're fine. I mean, you know, he's

812
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: still among the league leaders and in receptions and the

813
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: yards have been okay, it's just the touchdowns haven't quite

814
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: been there. But I know that you know he's he

815
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: has frustrated a lot of us because he hasn't had

816
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: these big blow up weeks, but you know his production

817
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: has been pretty good as well. Uh. Tyler Lockett, who

818
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: right now is the wide receiver five and there's a

819
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: guy that we all loved coming into the season, and

820
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: I think he's exceeded even a lot of those expectations.

821
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: Um easily a top three round pick. Does he have enough,

822
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: you guys to to to crack that first round or

823
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: he's still kind of maybe a second round guy. I

824
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: think he'll be a second round pick this year, but

825
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: our next year. But lock it, man, he's four. He's

826
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: tied for fourth among all receivers and receptions, which is

827
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: just it's kind of crazy to think about for a

828
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks receiver. Alright, and Russell Wilson is just he's peppering

829
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: his dude with targets and they're extreme, extremely efficient together.

830
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think we're gonna be looking at

831
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years here where Locket's gonna put together

832
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: back to back top twelve receiver one numbers with Wilson

833
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: and still, you know, still a very young man. Block

834
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven, right, it feels like he's been in

835
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: the league for a while a while. It has been

836
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: for a while. It's taken him a while to break

837
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: out and get this full time. I remember when he

838
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: was just irrelevant for the most part. Yeah, but what's

839
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: funny is that that actually was also the case with

840
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin and Doug Baltino started his grave and really

841
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: all that great, and then he's sort of like really

842
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: yearly great seasons. It took it took golden taste a

843
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: little bit of time to get going too in Seattle. True,

844
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: that's true. I mean, I guess that's what happens though,

845
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: when you are trying to run the ball like you're

846
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: forced feeding the run, that's where the thing happens. Kenny Golladay,

847
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: who again another guy who you know, I said this before.

848
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: He said before the season that you know, he could

849
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: be a hundred catch guy. I said, it probably won't

850
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: happen in this offense. I don't think it will happen. Uh,

851
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: in this offense. I think he's at thirty eight receptions

852
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,479
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, um, but he's a big

853
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: play guy. He's a guy who finds the end zone

854
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot. And you know what second round for Kenny

855
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: Golladay is that seemed reasonable for next season? Second rounds?

856
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's more of a third rounder.

857
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: And I think it's more of a third rounder. I

858
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: think I think we all were kind of on this

859
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: this year is like Kenny Golladay was a fourth round pick,

860
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones was eighth round, eighth, ninth round pick. Which

861
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: one would you rather have? And it will come down

862
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: to that again, although I will say Marvin Jones will

863
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: be I think he's getting up there too. He's getting

864
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: like thirty thirty one next year. Marvin Jones is also

865
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had huge games and then he's had stinkers.

866
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: He's a roller coaster. Golladay has definitely been way more consistent.

867
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: He's had the way more consistent role in this off

868
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: and we also need to see where these two guys

869
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: end up in the end of the season and what

870
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: the situation is going to be with Matthew Stafford, who

871
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: will by the way, I miss him already. Man, I've

872
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: got so many shares of Golladay and now like this week.

873
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: Golladay came through last week, but it was like that one,

874
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, basically drift go through it up and Golladay

875
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: came down the right like this week, and a lot

876
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: of people I think have similar situations. So I have

877
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: Galladay's playing against my beloved Dallas Cowboys. Um, and I've

878
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: got Joe Mixon and I don't know which one to start,

879
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: and and if it was Stafford under center, it's a

880
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: no brainer. It's freaking Galladay. But now I don't know,

881
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: you're saying you don't trust Jeff Dress I'm not sure.

882
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Cowboys defense is tole would look

883
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: at Stefan Ticks. Didn't do a thing last week. It

884
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: was all Kyle Rudolph. But so that doesn't mean t J.

885
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: Hockinson's to start this week, by the way, But so yeah,

886
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, now I'm in a situation where, like I

887
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: legitimately don't know if I should start Mixing over Galladay

888
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: this week. I have to think on that one, alright, right,

889
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like I mean, it's not mixing had two

890
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: good games in a row. He's playing the Raiders this week.

891
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: If they're going to give him that kind of volume,

892
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: Like that was a game script where the running back

893
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: should have been completely irrelevant, and they gave him thirty touches,

894
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: you were getting crushed. I got hurt in that game. No, no,

895
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But still I don't

896
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: know how many of those touches that that, you know,

897
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: mix it would have lost the Geo wouldn't have been

898
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: that maybe you know who knows, but it's it's a

899
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: tough one mix. This kind of quietly bounced back these

900
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks, pretty solid games and two tough matchups

901
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: because he had the Rams overseas and then last week

902
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Here's a question for you, because you know

903
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: you're you're expressing your frustration about Kenny Golladay this week. Uh,

904
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: if you had to go, if you have to choose

905
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: between Kenny Golladay and Terry McLaurin this week, what are

906
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: you doing. I'd Golliday. And if if Case Keenum was

907
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback, that might be a different answer. Oh yeah,

908
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: so I'd probably go. I'd probably still go a Golladay there.

909
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: But but here's the thing, like if Staffords the quarterback,

910
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't even care if Case Kames the

911
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: quarterback in Washington, I mean the guy. If the two

912
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: teams have their veteran starters in there, then it's still Golladay.

913
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if if Keenum were back there, I think

914
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: McLaren would pretty easily be a top fift team play

915
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: this week. But now with with Haskins, he's thirty ish.

916
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, um, last one here Cooper Cup

917
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: and you know not last week notwithstanding is you know

918
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: zero point zero fantasy points that he provided you has

919
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: still been outstanding. Uh, he is. He and Gerald Everett

920
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: have kind of been the two things that have been

921
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: the most consistent in this Rams offense, probably over the

922
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: last month or so. Cooper Cup has been pretty consistent

923
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: all season long, and he was kind of what a

924
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: fourth fifth round pick this past year. Um, I know

925
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: everyone's going to have concerns about who Jared Goff is

926
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: and what this Rams offense is going to be next year,

927
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: but does that preclude Cooper Cup from maybe sneaking into

928
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: the third round. Cooper Cup is gonna be the constant

929
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: in this offense every single year. Brandon Cooks, we will

930
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: have to see what is uh what is health situation.

931
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: Looks like Robert Woods will be another year older. But

932
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: I think Cooper Cup is just the constant in this

933
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: offense every year. He'll be the Goffs red zone guy.

934
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: The Rams. Their biggest problem this offseason is they have

935
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: got to address the offensive line. The only issue is

936
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: I have no idea where the cash flow or draft

937
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: picks are going to come from to do to address it.

938
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: It's not like free agency has been chocked full of

939
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: great offensive lineman either. Yeah, yeah, I think that a pass.

940
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, we were all sort of

941
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: discussing because he was coming off the A c L.

942
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: You know this year. You know, we're all basically saying,

943
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, is it Woods? Is it? Is? It? Is it?

944
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks? And then when Cup started to get health there,

945
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: it looked like he was gonna be okay. He moved

946
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But now the clear cut ramside

947
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver you want to target next year is Cooper Cup,

948
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: no question about that. Robert Woods has morphed back into

949
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Robert Woods. And it's not fun when you

950
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: have more touchdowns. He's got really unlucky with touchdowns this year.

951
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: But even that, I mean regressed so much. I mean,

952
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: this Ram's offense is just not the red zones. I know,

953
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: and you know I was talking. We're to Maurice Jones

954
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: Drew who covers the you know, covers the Rams, uh

955
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: does the radio calls, and you know, I'm asking him, like,

956
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: why don't they give the ball to Curly? I mean,

957
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes and not one single touch in a game

958
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: that was close, and the Steelers defense is so tough

959
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: against the Passengered Golf is not not a good quarter pack.

960
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: And you know, like honestly, mjds like, I don't know,

961
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. And and you know, when when a

962
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: guy like that with so much knowledge and he has

963
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: such an intimate relationship with the team and he's I

964
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: don't know, Like at this point, I feel like maybe

965
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: it's just mcvas. He's just stubborn. That's you're trying to be.

966
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: He's just stubborn. I mean, he just wants to keep

967
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: throwing the ball like Okay, well you're gonna lose games.

968
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: But that's another interesting thing to here. And Grandma, I

969
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: will talk about this on Friday's podcast, but I want

970
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: to get your take on this. Girly with a couple

971
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: of old old linemen down for the Rams against the Bears,

972
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: who have gotten crushed by running backs, uh for the

973
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: last four or five weeks, where are you projecting him

974
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: this week? I mean I said this on Monday that

975
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: if they don't give the ball to Girly this week,

976
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: then he's done you. You're never gonna be able to

977
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: trust him again. Not that you can trust him now.

978
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Girly this week? I mean,

979
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: I think I think he'll give you an average game, uh,

980
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, like, I don't think if you're looking for

981
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: the big blow up, if you're looking for the twenty

982
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: point uh Todd Gurley game, Like, I think I think

983
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be disappointed. I mean, I think you know,

984
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: right now, a nice game out of Todd Gurley is

985
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: he gets you somewhere around fifteen sixteen points. And I'm

986
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: not totally sure he gets that. I would say, looking

987
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: twelve fourteen point range for Todd Gurley, um, hopefully he

988
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: gets you a touchdown, but I don't I don't know

989
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: that the touches are gonna be there. He's he's touched

990
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: on the pennant. Yeah, he's completely touched down the pennant.

991
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: The We've talked about this a couple of times here

992
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: this season, but just the lack of targets and basically

993
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: him not being used at all in the past game,

994
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: all those targets are not going to Gerald Everett. That's

995
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: the big That is the big shocker that he's just

996
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: not a part of the mean right now, you know

997
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at You're looking at a guy who was

998
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: it was, you know, probably ended the second round. Most

999
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: people were taking him mid to end of the second round,

1000
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: who legitimately might not be a top fifty pick next year. Honestly,

1001
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: I depend it depends on exactly. But I mean he's

1002
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: another year older, right, I mean, like so, why why

1003
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: would they suddenly go back to using him, you know,

1004
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: five times a game when they're not doing it now

1005
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: and he's healthier than he's ever been in any November

1006
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL. YEA, yeah, No, I think I mean

1007
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: it's right, Yeah, it'll be interesting case. I think we're

1008
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get kind of a consensus I think

1009
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: on Girly early next off season. You know, people will

1010
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: kind of have their opinions formed of him, and uh

1011
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be hard to kind of

1012
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: move off of that. And you know, depending on what

1013
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: the Rams do in free agency in the draft will

1014
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: also have an impact on that, whether or not they

1015
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: decided to give Darryl Henderson some more. They worked Malcolm

1016
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: Brown in whatever they decided to catches that is amazing

1017
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: and seven of those came in one in one game.

1018
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: It's the Bucks. I mean like he would have six

1019
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: seven catch games regularly. Yeah, regularly, those games would go

1020
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: for like eight yards just receiving, and then you add

1021
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: all the juice with the with the rushing. But all right, um,

1022
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: let's suck some drops or not drops. Uh, let's just

1023
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: start with Jared Goff. I mean, at this point, I

1024
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: have a hard time coming up with a reason for

1025
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: you to hold onto unless you're in a to QB league.

1026
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: But I think in most leagues he can. He can

1027
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: kind of be gone right, agreed, Ye, move on? Even

1028
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: I would start Kyle Allen over him this week. Yeah,

1029
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: I think that's where we're at. I mean, we're yeah,

1030
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta dig deep for some streamer, for

1031
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: some streamers for against Golf this week, because it's just

1032
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: that the upside is just not there anymore. Um, this

1033
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: one might be a little tougher to swallow. But but

1034
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, who the last few weeks hasn't been particularly great. Um,

1035
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: that's an understatement. The schedule is not really superman. He's

1036
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs this week, which has sort of been

1037
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the road matchup, then they have a

1038
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: by in week twelve. After that, he's at Denver. He's

1039
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville again, sort of middle of the road. He's

1040
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: got the Vikings. Um, I mean, it's just it's not

1041
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: it's not a the worst schedule, but it's also without

1042
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: the best schedule, and for a guy who's not playing

1043
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: particularly well. Um, you know, there are a lot of

1044
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: good streamers out there, and I don't know that I'm

1045
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm necessarily wasting a roster spot on Philip Rivers if

1046
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: I can't trust him. No, I know, I get it.

1047
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: And you know, at this point of the season, you know,

1048
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: especially if you have like one of the one of

1049
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: the better quarterbacks, more reliable quarterbacks, I only have one

1050
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: on my roster. You know, I don't need to have

1051
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. I'd rather load up on other positions. But um,

1052
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: he's got the Chiefs this week though, you know, it's

1053
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: like it's it's like you know, last week, graders, oh man,

1054
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, he was a top ten paper potentially at

1055
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and he did nothing. And now in a in

1056
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: the game is in Mexico on Monday night, he's got

1057
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And the Chiefs, you know, the quarterbacks have

1058
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: been okay against them this season. So it's one of

1059
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: those what do you have as an alternative on your roster.

1060
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: For example, if you have Josh Allen, I could see,

1061
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I could see cutting

1062
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: Rivers because alan schedule gets really tough. So so it

1063
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: really all depends, like if Jameis Winston is your quarterback,

1064
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: that maybe you cut him, okay, um, if you're looking

1065
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: to pick up a hot free agent. But Rivers is

1066
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: that this is this is one of his worst fantasy seasons,

1067
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: one of his worst. And we've also seen that switch

1068
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: to going to Melvin Gordon and the running game now

1069
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,959
Speaker 1: with Wizzen Hunt no longer there so and more, Melvin

1070
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: Gordon is gonna eat I mean, you want to talk

1071
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: about a guy who right from like should I start

1072
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: him or not to like, dude, this guy's I must start.

1073
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: I mean in the last like three or four weeks.

1074
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: So you know, this week is going to tell us

1075
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot about Rivers and whether or not we're gonna

1076
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: be able to trust him, because right now you can't.

1077
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Gordon and kel are both gonna have

1078
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: really nice game, huge game chiefs. They have their by.

1079
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: Rivers has his by in week twelve, and they come

1080
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: back and they play at Denver. So I think if

1081
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: you do have a Josh Allen or maybe somebody else,

1082
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: you feel more with these next three weeks, you could

1083
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna be using rivers at all. Yeah,

1084
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: so that's I think I probably sided with with grand there.

1085
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 1: But again, it all depends on what you have your roster.

1086
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: So all right, Uh, Jeff Franklin sort of touched on

1087
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: is but Leshaw McCoy, I mean the load management thing,

1088
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: like it was hard enough to to kind of justify

1089
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: holding onto Leshaw mcoy because the production wasn't there and

1090
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: now we're gonna have to deal with every other week

1091
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: or so. He's just sitting out like there's just no way.

1092
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: It's it's over. I actually think Darryl Williams might end

1093
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: up being the number two there by the excuse me,

1094
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: by the season's end. Yeah, it's it's over for McCoy.

1095
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: I think I think you can set him free. Man. Uh,

1096
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, is it over for him too? I mean

1097
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: last week seemed to be a great matchup. He had

1098
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: one catch for Marius Thomas is getting more tough, getting

1099
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: some looks. That was exactly what I was gonna say.

1100
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: If to Marrius, Thomas is getting more looks than you

1101
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: and you're failing against you know, in these just awesome matchups.

1102
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: He failed against the Dolphins two weeks ago too. It's

1103
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: just it's over for for Robbie as well, which is

1104
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: sad because I thought he had just an absurd ceiling

1105
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: in this in this offense. But when he had that

1106
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: big game was that against the Cowboys, it was he

1107
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: had a ninety picking up and thinking this could this

1108
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: could help me? And then offense and then Sam Donald

1109
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: started seeing stuff that wasn't there, and um, and to

1110
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: Mary's Thomas is getting all the targets aside from clearly

1111
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: Jamison Crotter, who's getting a lot of options of opportunities

1112
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, so, um, last one Jimmy Graham. I know, Fab,

1113
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: you were sort of railing against Jimmy Graham earlier in

1114
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: the week. It's is he even even at a thin

1115
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: tight in spot, doesn't matter like he used the name

1116
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: and that's like a lot of people, you fall in

1117
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: love with names. Now, there have been some games this

1118
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: season where you know the matchup has been good and

1119
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: then you know you'd potentially stream him. But if I'm

1120
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: gonna if I'm gonna have a tight end on my roster,

1121
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: who has a bye, I'm picking up Jacob Hollister. I'm

1122
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: not sitting on Jimmy Graham. Jimmy Graham has had fewer

1123
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: than eight Fantasy points in three straight games and in

1124
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: let's see five of his last six. I mean, that's

1125
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: that's awful, you know, I mean, like he's touchdown dependent.

1126
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: He's had one good game. That was against Oakland. He

1127
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: had over sixteen Fantasy points. And that's it. Like and

1128
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: now they're running the ball so much with Aaron Jones

1129
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: and Jamal Williams, Davante Adams is back. If you have

1130
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: Graham on your roster and hosters available to pick up

1131
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: poster dump Graham. Uh, he is not worth a rosters

1132
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: butot at this point, he's just not. And I mean

1133
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: after the by guess what they got San Francisco have

1134
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: fun with that man, and they got Chicago in week fifteen.

1135
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: Remember Jimmy Graham, Like those were the days he was

1136
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: so good. Gronk those years, like back in the tight

1137
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: end was so so hot, back Tony Tony Gonzalez was

1138
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: balling out there because your end of his career in

1139
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta Yeah, it was a good time. It was a

1140
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: good time to be a tight end. It was really

1141
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: fun to have tight ends in your life. We have

1142
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: like three good players, that's it, and then some of

1143
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: those are getting hurt. That's the worst bright So Austin

1144
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: Hooper are are tight in one? Uh it's hurt, Poor

1145
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: a little out and Evans hurt. Kittles hurt, Kittles hurt.

1146
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: It's I'm gonna be so sad of George Kittle can't

1147
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: play this week against the Cardinals, Like, how unfair? Will

1148
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: that best matchup of the year. He's going to get out? Yeah,

1149
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: any the Cardinals and he's hurt. He had a good

1150
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: game against them, and yeah that's the game. He got

1151
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: hurt and he battled through that and got it done. Man, Well,

1152
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: I what a down in the show. I know that's

1153
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: the show. But maybe we, you know, give some people

1154
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: some some tight ends that they're going to be able

1155
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: to trust this week. Right, So if Adam Feeling is

1156
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: out again, off the red nosed Reindeers back in your life.

1157
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was a streamer for us

1158
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: last week, had a couple of touchdowns against my boys,

1159
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: and um, you know he's getting more opportunities, especially in

1160
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: the red zone. Greg Olsen is a good play this week.

1161
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: Gerald Ever, it's a good play this week. Uh. Jack

1162
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: Doyle's had three Fantasy points. I kind of like a

1163
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: fan as a streamer that I do like a fan

1164
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: this week for for Denver. You were able to get

1165
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: Jared cooked this week. Great matchup against Tampa. So I

1166
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: mean there are options, It's just not as sexy as yeah, exactly,

1167
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: like you're basically just you know, putting a dude into

1168
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: your starting lineup and crossing your fingers that you know

1169
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: he gets you, like honestly, like if you got seven

1170
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: points from a tight end right now, you're like, like,

1171
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: like Jeff mentioned, if you get those three catches for

1172
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: thirty yards and you just feel comfortable, You're fine. This

1173
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: is where we are now. All right, that's it, We
