1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, October first, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we totally.

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: Remember we have a show. Today. It's me and rand

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: mg Marcus Grand joined by Michael f.

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Florio and Lakwan Jones, and we are turning the page

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: on week four, getting ready for Week five. We'll talk

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: about some deep dive waiver wire, some folks you can

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: put back on the waiver wire. But fellas, let's start

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: with our big questions for week five and beyond and

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Florida the big one here. I was gonna limit it

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: just to are we done with the Ravens tight end?

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Specifically thinking of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, But we'll

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: just sort of expand this out to the pass catchers overall,

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: because the receivers haven't really been all that great. Are

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: we just sort of what are we doing with the

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Ravens passing game right now?

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: I think it's time for Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: to comfortably hit the bench to two weeks in a row.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews has not scored a fantasy point or played

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: half of the snaps, and Isaiah Likely had more targets

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: in Week one than he has the last three games combined.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: Zay Flowers is an interesting one because two games already

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: this year he has double digit targets and then the

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: last two he has six targets combined. But those were

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: both games where the Ravens had very large leads, in

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: like three touchdown leads. So I think it's very game

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: script dependent this offense. The issue is most weeks they're

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: going to be playing with the leads, so Zay Flowers

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: is probably like a boombust wide receiver three. But yeah, look,

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: I had said the Ravens tight ends were gonna have

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: a big role in this game. I thought it would

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: come as pass catchers and not you know, having the

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: announcers keep track of how many big run blocks they have.

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: But that is where we are with the Ravens tight ends.

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if we got points for blocking, then we

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be worried about Mark Andrews at this point. Uh,

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: he would be in our starting lineups. I mean, I'm

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: looking at this Lakwan and I'm moving up at the

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: receivers or the pass catchers. In general, there's not a

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: big gap like Isaiah likely leads with one hundred and

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards, We're Shaan Bateman at one hundred and

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: forty four. They're all bunched together. None of them are good.

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: No, I mean, I honestly think like we had this

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: information for some time now about the Ravens pass catchers,

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: Like this is kind of what happens. They get into

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: a run heavy, you know, offense, and that's kind of

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: been their identity. So like, well, we're looking at a

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: Flowers like like Flora said, he has to hit the bench,

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: Like I'm only playing him by matchup, but I really

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: feel like people who are drafting him, they already have

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: that expectations, they already have that information and knowing like

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: this isn't a start and forget every Sunday, you know,

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: every single week type or deal like Zay Flowers is

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: so explosive, Like you love watching him make the plays.

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: You love watching him, you know, getting out and burning guys.

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: But then it's like, eh, well this might be a

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: run heavy game, so like you might not get much

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: of the Zay Flower points that we're hoping in love

59
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: you know, every single week.

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: It's frustrating, super super frustrating.

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, over in Indianapolis, Joe Flacco stepped in for an

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: injured Anthony Richardson in Week four, played really well. Continued

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: his string of just coming out of the pitch and

64
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: playing well. Did it last year in Cleveland now in Indianapolis.

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're still sort of waiting some

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: definitive updates on Anthony Richardson, But LaQuan is it now

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco season?

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: And what does that mean?

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: I honestly think they should be very cautious Anthony Richardson.

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: So I honestly would like him to sit out this

71
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: game because that injury looked really bad to the hip

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: and then they put him in the next play and

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: he just looked god awful coming off the field. But

74
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco brings some spark to this offense where you

75
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: start believing in the Josh Downs, you start believing even

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: the tight ends. You know, you start getting everybody involved

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: where he can support multiple pass catchers. Where this is

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: great news, you know for guys that went out there

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: and got a Josh Downs off the waiverbar, because he

80
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: had a breakout game this season, and it's like Josh

81
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: Downs is a really good target option. He's a guy

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: that plays out of the slot. Great separator, and then

83
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: now we get a life that we know that Michael

84
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: Pittman can show up and show out and put up

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: the big points as a wide receiver.

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: One.

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: So I'm hoping it's Show Flaco season.

88
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a bigger conversation that we had, maybe

89
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: not on this episode, but one down their line about

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks versus veteran quarterbacks because you look at the

91
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: top of the fantasy standings at the position.

92
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Jayden Daniels is number one, he's been great.

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: After that, the whole lot of older guys, some guys

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: who maybe bounced around the league a little bit. I mean,

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: you got your Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnolds or Justin Fields's.

96
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: We're not seeing the youth near the top of the

97
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: fantasy standings the way we have in years past. I'm

98
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: maybe I should be asking myself this question before I'm

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, what on earth is going on with

100
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk and how worried should we be?

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: I am starting to get worried. I have been continuously saying,

102
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: like by low On on Brandon Ayuk, the big game

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: is coming, It's coming, blah blah blah. There's been opportunity.

104
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: Brock Purty leads the NFL in passing yards, Like, I

105
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: don't think that's getting enough talking right now. No team

106
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: has had more opportunity to give this guy yardage and

107
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: have a good game than the forty nine ers two

108
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: weeks ago. No Kittle, no debo. You're like, all right,

109
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: this is.

110
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: A prime spot.

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: They go and drop a near fifty piece for Juwan Jennings,

112
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: and then even yesterday third wide receiver behind Deebo and Jennings,

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: we saw the touchdown go to Kittle. Brandon Ayuk is separating,

114
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: but something seems off.

115
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: I mean he's throwing.

116
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: A temper tantrum in practice about the wrong shorts since stuff.

117
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: I still believe he's I believe he is going out

118
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: there and separating. I don't know what is going on,

119
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: but my stance continues to be if someone wants to

120
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: give me Brandon Nyuk on a discount, I will take

121
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: the shot on this offense and that talent of the

122
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: player really on no other stuff other than vibes and

123
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: thinking like this guy he is still there's no signs

124
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: showing that he has slowed down or he lost a

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: step or anything like that. Eventually, he's going to look

126
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: like Brandon Nyuki again, So I would just be betting

127
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: on the talent now more and hoping it gets right.

128
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm not long term concerned about Brandon Ik.

129
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I know it's been frustrating for folks who have him

130
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: waiting for something big to pop. It hasn't quite happened yet,

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: but you know, he's had at least five targets in

132
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: every game. He had ten targets in that game against

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: the Rams the week before, So eventually it's gonna come together.

134
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: But it does sort of look like early in his

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: career where.

136
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: It's just the little things where he's just sort of,

137
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, beefing with the coaches over like little silly things,

138
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: and maybe it's impacting his play on the field, but

139
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: he's still too talented. The offense is too good. Like

140
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna come around, hopefully sooner than later. For folks

141
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: who I know are getting little antsy about, you know,

142
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: having him in their lineups. Yeah, you know, I think

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: I think he'll be okay long term. Look, this it's

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: been four weeks, right, this is basically his preseason. So

145
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: now hopefully next week, next week against the Cardinals, maybe

146
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: next week it starts to come together for him. You know, look,

147
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: he's but I think they're going to Arizona. It's him

148
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: going back to Arizona State where he played his college ball.

149
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: Another home. Never mind, forget all that part. Uh uh.

150
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, we did the kind of the full waiver wire

151
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: on Monday show.

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: You can go check that out.

153
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: But now we do our little deep dive waiver wire

154
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: options and uh lakwan who is a deep dive waiver

155
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: wire option for you?

156
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: In Week five, Wide receiver Trey Tucker Man, he's doing

157
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: all the basic things over there, you know, in Vegas

158
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: for Garner Minshew getting open and really look at his

159
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: opportunities in the last two weeks eighty two percent of the snaps,

160
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: fifteen targets, twelve catches, nineteen fantasy points per game man

161
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: and what Adams he could be missing some time. Tucker

162
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 4: brings that big Blay option to rosters. I mean, look,

163
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: the Raiders will have to continue on being creative with

164
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: his touches. I mean right now he's on the wire

165
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: for eighteen percent of the roster ship so he's likely

166
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: out there for you. So if you're looking to get

167
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: your fantasy points in chunks. This guy could stretch the field.

168
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: They're running him out of the backfield. They're doing everything

169
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: possible with Ray Tucker, and I think this is a

170
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: great option for rosters if you're hurting at that flex

171
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: position here.

172
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Also very curious to see what is the long term

173
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: situation with Davonte Adams. They're in Las Vegas, you know,

174
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: and that is going to certainly impact Trey Tucker's availability

175
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: in his production for fantasy managers. You had another receiver

176
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: down the depth trot a little bit floya that you're

177
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: looking at this week.

178
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Noah Brown. And I know people might be like, well,

179
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: Zakayas had the big game this week, and he did,

180
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: but he ran just nine routes. And that's what stands

181
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: out to me. Noah Brown is this team's wide receiver too.

182
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: He ran the second most routes amongst all of their

183
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: wide receivers yesterday. Terry ran twenty five, Noah Brown ran

184
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: twenty three. And then we saw like Zachaiyas McCaffrey a

185
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: couple of other guys rotating in and out on those

186
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: secondary spots. But if you are a wide receiver like

187
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: like Noah Brown, who has had a history of success

188
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: at the NFL. We know he could stretch the field

189
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. And now you're playing with the

190
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: quarterback like Jayden Daniels on an offense that has been

191
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: as good as the Commanders has been. You are going

192
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: to get my attention. And look, if you playing like

193
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: a ten team league or even maybe a shallow twelve

194
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: team league, I don't think you need to run to

195
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: the waiver wire and grab him. But for those of

196
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: us in deeper leagues than that, where the waiver wire

197
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: is really thin, uh, someone like Brown and you could

198
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: get him for a minbid. I am sure it is

199
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: someone that I'm going to take a chance on because

200
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: I think as long as he's seeing the field consistently

201
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: with Jaden Daniels, there's upside moving forward.

202
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

203
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean the way we all of a suddenly want

204
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: all these pieces of the Washington offense, uh, speaks to

205
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: what this is going to be. And you're right, I

206
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: think you know you're not go to You're gonna spend

207
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fab to get the Noah Brown on

208
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: your roster because there're gonna be a lot of folks

209
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: that are pursuing him this week. Kareem Hunt when when

210
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs added him were kind of like, I don't know,

211
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: this feels like a depth per depth ad. He's not

212
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: gonna make a fantasy impact.

213
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: Wrong.

214
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: He was immediately productive for Kansas City. Uh, played nearly

215
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: as many snaps as samaj p Ryan, had fourteen carries,

216
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: also had three targets, so it was sort of like

217
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: he never left. I mean, they worked him right back

218
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: into the offense and this was him just you know,

219
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: having gotten there after being a free agent.

220
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: Yes, he knows Andy Reid's offense.

221
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: Sure, that definitely helps, but the fact that he was

222
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: able to just jump right in and be a big

223
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: part of what the Chiefs were doing suggests that he

224
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: is going to really be an impact player going forward.

225
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: We talked on Monday show about the injuries in Kansas City,

226
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: where this offense is it's not the explosive Chiefs offense

227
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: we've been used to seeing, but it's very apparent that

228
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: kream Hunt is going to have a role here going forward.

229
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: And for a lot of folks who are short at

230
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: running back, because that's kind of where we are right now,

231
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt could really.

232
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: Be a really important asset for you the rest of

233
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: the way. So those are deep waiver wire dives.

234
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: If you're adding somebody, you gotta be saying goodbye to somebody.

235
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: So who are you putting back in the free agents pool?

236
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: Loo kwon Ooh, I'm putting Trevor Lawrence right there on

237
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 4: the wire. And I know a lot of people are

238
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: thinking like why man, but he's been very underwhelming. I'm

239
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: tired of looking at him on my bench while I

240
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: watch guys like bakers Am, Darneld, Andy Dalton and so

241
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: going to be Joe Flacco if he gets in, you know,

242
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: for week to week, because I'm tired of not trying

243
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: to drop him when I want to add a guy

244
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 4: on a waiver wire and I choose another player that

245
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 4: goes off the next week because I'm saving it for

246
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence in my one quarterback leagues. But I'm just

247
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: gonna keep rocking when Donald until the wheels fall off.

248
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: And Andy Dawn in another league where I feel as

249
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: though he's going to be more useful down the line

250
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 4: during the stretch because they're own four right now. It's

251
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: not good over there in Douvaal, so they need to

252
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: figure it out. Before you know, Trevor Lawrence reaches any

253
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 4: roster anymore, So bye bye.

254
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: They're owing four and Lawrence has had less than one

255
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty passing yards in three of four games.

256
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: Uh did have two touchdowns on Sunday, for whatever that's worth.

257
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: But it's it's been a struggle. His best Fantasy game

258
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: of the year so far, it's been fourteen points.

259
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: It is. It is a slog with Trevor Lawrence. Uh Floria,

260
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: who are you waving goodbye.

261
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: To Zumier White. I was big on not drafting Zamir White,

262
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: and unfortunately I took him in one league.

263
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: It's a really deep league. So so I'm still.

264
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: Holding on to him there. But look look at like yesterday,

265
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: sixty percent of the snaps, You're like, okay, finally he's

266
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: playing more snaps in Alexander Madison seventeen carries, You're okay,

267
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: this is what we wanted. This is the volume we

268
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: signed up for. He's still Alexander Madison had five carries

269
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: and one target yesterday and still outproduced Zamir White. Like

270
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: at some point we just got to say, like, Zamir

271
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: White is not the guy you know who he is.

272
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: He is Alexander Madison.

273
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: He looked good when he had to come in for

274
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 3: a handful of games on a team that was rejuvenated

275
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: and stuff. But over the course of a seventeen game season,

276
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: he cannot be that guy. And Alexander Madison. Last year

277
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: this happened to him on the Vikings, So the fact

278
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: that now it's happening to Zamir.

279
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: White is hilarious to me.

280
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, if I had to roster one of these,

281
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: give me Madison because he is seeing the goal on

282
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: work and the passing down work, and those are the

283
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: valuable touches in fantasy.

284
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tweeted yesterday, Alexander Madison is the Raiders' best

285
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: running back and it's not close. Right now looks so

286
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: much more explosive. He's gonna be the guy going forward

287
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: to mere White. It's just it's hard to see a

288
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: path forward. He's not getting goal line touches, he doesn't

289
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: catch the football, the Raiders don't score a lot of points.

290
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: It just feels hard to make a case to certainly

291
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: to start him, maybe even to keep.

292
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Him rostered at this point.

293
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mentioned that Kareem Hunt was a waiver wire.

294
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Ad Well, Carson Steele can go back to the waiver

295
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: wire at this point. I mean, he was a nice

296
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: option when it just seemed like it was gonna be

297
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: him and p Ryan getting touches. Now that Kareem Hunt

298
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: is there, and the way he just stepped in and

299
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: immediately took control of that backfield from the first game

300
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: and you had the Carson Steel play I think I

301
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: believe it was eleven snaps on Sunday, just a couple

302
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: of carries, no targets. Obviously, he is going to be

303
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: the third option in this offense. And again, it's not

304
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: the same Chiefs offense. It's gonna score a ton of points.

305
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: We're not looking to go that deep in the offense.

306
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: It's just not really feasible to keep Carson Steel right

307
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: now on your fantasy rosters. There are other places you

308
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: can go if you need running back help. Carson Steele

309
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: is just not going.

310
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: To be it.

311
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: This for the foreseeable future looks like a Kareem Hunt

312
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: samaj p Ryan backfield there in Kansas City. Uh, And
