WEBVTT - Week 5 Preview: Can't Trust Ravens Receivers, Hunt Returns to KC, Adds & Drops

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, October first, twenty twenty four.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we totally.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Remember we have a show. Today. It's me and rand

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 2>mg Marcus Grand joined by Michael f.

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Florio and Lakwan Jones, and we are turning the page

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>on week four, getting ready for Week five. We'll talk

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>about some deep dive waiver wire, some folks you can

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>put back on the waiver wire. But fellas, let's start

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>with our big questions for week five and beyond and

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Florida the big one here. I was gonna limit it

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>just to are we done with the Ravens tight end?

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Specifically thinking of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, But we'll

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just sort of expand this out to the pass catchers overall,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>because the receivers haven't really been all that great. Are

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>we just sort of what are we doing with the

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Ravens passing game right now?

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it's time for Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 3>to comfortably hit the bench to two weeks in a row.

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Mark Andrews has not scored a fantasy point or played

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>half of the snaps, and Isaiah Likely had more targets

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 3>in Week one than he has the last three games combined.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Zay Flowers is an interesting one because two games already

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>this year he has double digit targets and then the

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 3>last two he has six targets combined. But those were

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 3>both games where the Ravens had very large leads, in

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 3>like three touchdown leads. So I think it's very game

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 3>script dependent this offense. The issue is most weeks they're

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 3>going to be playing with the leads, so Zay Flowers

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>is probably like a boombust wide receiver three. But yeah, look,

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I had said the Ravens tight ends were gonna have

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>a big role in this game. I thought it would

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 3>come as pass catchers and not you know, having the

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>announcers keep track of how many big run blocks they have.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But that is where we are with the Ravens tight ends.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if we got points for blocking, then we

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be worried about Mark Andrews at this point. Uh,

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>he would be in our starting lineups. I mean, I'm

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>looking at this Lakwan and I'm moving up at the

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>receivers or the pass catchers. In general, there's not a

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>big gap like Isaiah likely leads with one hundred and

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven yards, We're Shaan Bateman at one hundred and

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>forty four. They're all bunched together. None of them are good.

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean, I honestly think like we had this

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 4>information for some time now about the Ravens pass catchers,

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Like this is kind of what happens. They get into

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 4>a run heavy, you know, offense, and that's kind of

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 4>been their identity. So like, well, we're looking at a

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 4>Flowers like like Flora said, he has to hit the bench,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Like I'm only playing him by matchup, but I really

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 4>feel like people who are drafting him, they already have

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 4>that expectations, they already have that information and knowing like

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 4>this isn't a start and forget every Sunday, you know,

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 4>every single week type or deal like Zay Flowers is

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 4>so explosive, Like you love watching him make the plays.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 4>You love watching him, you know, getting out and burning guys.

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 4>But then it's like, eh, well this might be a

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 4>run heavy game, so like you might not get much

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 4>of the Zay Flower points that we're hoping in love

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, every single week.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It's frustrating, super super frustrating.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile, over in Indianapolis, Joe Flacco stepped in for an

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>injured Anthony Richardson in Week four, played really well. Continued

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>his string of just coming out of the pitch and

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>playing well. Did it last year in Cleveland now in Indianapolis.

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know we're still sort of waiting some

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>definitive updates on Anthony Richardson, But LaQuan is it now

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Joe Flacco season?

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>And what does that mean?

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 4>I honestly think they should be very cautious Anthony Richardson.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 4>So I honestly would like him to sit out this

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 4>game because that injury looked really bad to the hip

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 4>and then they put him in the next play and

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>he just looked god awful coming off the field. But

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Joe Flacco brings some spark to this offense where you

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 4>start believing in the Josh Downs, you start believing even

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the tight ends. You know, you start getting everybody involved

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 4>where he can support multiple pass catchers. Where this is

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 4>great news, you know for guys that went out there

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 4>and got a Josh Downs off the waiverbar, because he

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 4>had a breakout game this season, and it's like Josh

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Downs is a really good target option. He's a guy

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 4>that plays out of the slot. Great separator, and then

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 4>now we get a life that we know that Michael

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>Pittman can show up and show out and put up

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 4>the big points as a wide receiver.

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 2>One.

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 4>So I'm hoping it's Show Flaco season.

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a bigger conversation that we had, maybe

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>not on this episode, but one down their line about

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>young quarterbacks versus veteran quarterbacks because you look at the

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>top of the fantasy standings at the position.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sure, Jayden Daniels is number one, he's been great.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>After that, the whole lot of older guys, some guys

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>who maybe bounced around the league a little bit. I mean,

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you got your Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnolds or Justin Fields's.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>We're not seeing the youth near the top of the

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>fantasy standings the way we have in years past. I'm

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe I should be asking myself this question before I'm

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask you, what on earth is going on with

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Ayuk and how worried should we be?

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 3>I am starting to get worried. I have been continuously saying,

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 3>like by low On on Brandon Ayuk, the big game

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 3>is coming, It's coming, blah blah blah. There's been opportunity.

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Brock Purty leads the NFL in passing yards, Like, I

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 3>don't think that's getting enough talking right now. No team

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 3>has had more opportunity to give this guy yardage and

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 3>have a good game than the forty nine ers two

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 3>weeks ago. No Kittle, no debo. You're like, all right,

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 3>this is.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>A prime spot.

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 3>They go and drop a near fifty piece for Juwan Jennings,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 3>and then even yesterday third wide receiver behind Deebo and Jennings,

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 3>we saw the touchdown go to Kittle. Brandon Ayuk is separating,

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 3>but something seems off.

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's throwing.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 3>A temper tantrum in practice about the wrong shorts since stuff.

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I still believe he's I believe he is going out

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>there and separating. I don't know what is going on,

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>but my stance continues to be if someone wants to

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 3>give me Brandon Nyuk on a discount, I will take

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 3>the shot on this offense and that talent of the

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 3>player really on no other stuff other than vibes and

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 3>thinking like this guy he is still there's no signs

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 3>showing that he has slowed down or he lost a

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 3>step or anything like that. Eventually, he's going to look

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 3>like Brandon Nyuki again, So I would just be betting

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>on the talent now more and hoping it gets right.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm I'm not long term concerned about Brandon Ik.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I know it's been frustrating for folks who have him

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 1>waiting for something big to pop. It hasn't quite happened yet,

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know, he's had at least five targets in

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>every game. He had ten targets in that game against

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the Rams the week before, So eventually it's gonna come together.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>But it does sort of look like early in his

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>career where.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just the little things where he's just sort of,

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, beefing with the coaches over like little silly things,

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's impacting his play on the field, but

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>he's still too talented. The offense is too good. Like

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna come around, hopefully sooner than later. For folks

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>who I know are getting little antsy about, you know,

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>having him in their lineups. Yeah, you know, I think

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll be okay long term. Look, this it's

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>been four weeks, right, this is basically his preseason. So

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>now hopefully next week, next week against the Cardinals, maybe

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>next week it starts to come together for him. You know, look,

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>he's but I think they're going to Arizona. It's him

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>going back to Arizona State where he played his college ball.

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 2>Another home. Never mind, forget all that part. Uh uh.

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we did the kind of the full waiver wire

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 1>on Monday show.

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>You can go check that out.

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.239
<v Speaker 1>But now we do our little deep dive waiver wire

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>options and uh lakwan who is a deep dive waiver

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>wire option for you?

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 4>In Week five, Wide receiver Trey Tucker Man, he's doing

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 4>all the basic things over there, you know, in Vegas

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 4>for Garner Minshew getting open and really look at his

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 4>opportunities in the last two weeks eighty two percent of the snaps,

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 4>fifteen targets, twelve catches, nineteen fantasy points per game man

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 4>and what Adams he could be missing some time. Tucker

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.239
<v Speaker 4>brings that big Blay option to rosters. I mean, look,

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 4>the Raiders will have to continue on being creative with

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 4>his touches. I mean right now he's on the wire

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 4>for eighteen percent of the roster ship so he's likely

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 4>out there for you. So if you're looking to get

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 4>your fantasy points in chunks. This guy could stretch the field.

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 4>They're running him out of the backfield. They're doing everything

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 4>possible with Ray Tucker, and I think this is a

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 4>great option for rosters if you're hurting at that flex

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 4>position here.

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Also very curious to see what is the long term

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>situation with Davonte Adams. They're in Las Vegas, you know,

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is going to certainly impact Trey Tucker's availability

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in his production for fantasy managers. You had another receiver

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>down the depth trot a little bit floya that you're

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>looking at this week.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Noah Brown. And I know people might be like, well,

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Zakayas had the big game this week, and he did,

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 3>but he ran just nine routes. And that's what stands

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 3>out to me. Noah Brown is this team's wide receiver too.

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 3>He ran the second most routes amongst all of their

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers yesterday. Terry ran twenty five, Noah Brown ran

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 3>twenty three. And then we saw like Zachaiyas McCaffrey a

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 3>couple of other guys rotating in and out on those

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 3>secondary spots. But if you are a wide receiver like

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 3>like Noah Brown, who has had a history of success

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 3>at the NFL. We know he could stretch the field

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 3>and stuff like that. And now you're playing with the

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 3>quarterback like Jayden Daniels on an offense that has been

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>as good as the Commanders has been. You are going

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.719
<v Speaker 3>to get my attention. And look, if you playing like

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 3>a ten team league or even maybe a shallow twelve

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.680
<v Speaker 3>team league, I don't think you need to run to

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the waiver wire and grab him. But for those of

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 3>us in deeper leagues than that, where the waiver wire

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 3>is really thin, uh, someone like Brown and you could

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 3>get him for a minbid. I am sure it is

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 3>someone that I'm going to take a chance on because

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 3>I think as long as he's seeing the field consistently

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 3>with Jaden Daniels, there's upside moving forward.

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely.

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean the way we all of a suddenly want

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>all these pieces of the Washington offense, uh, speaks to

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>what this is going to be. And you're right, I

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>think you know you're not go to You're gonna spend

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fab to get the Noah Brown on

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>your roster because there're gonna be a lot of folks

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that are pursuing him this week. Kareem Hunt when when

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs added him were kind of like, I don't know,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.079
<v Speaker 1>this feels like a depth per depth ad. He's not

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna make a fantasy impact.

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Wrong.

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>He was immediately productive for Kansas City. Uh, played nearly

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>as many snaps as samaj p Ryan, had fourteen carries,

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>also had three targets, so it was sort of like

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>he never left. I mean, they worked him right back

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>into the offense and this was him just you know,

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>having gotten there after being a free agent.

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he knows Andy Reid's offense.

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Sure, that definitely helps, but the fact that he was

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>able to just jump right in and be a big

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>part of what the Chiefs were doing suggests that he

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is going to really be an impact player going forward.

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>We talked on Monday show about the injuries in Kansas City,

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>where this offense is it's not the explosive Chiefs offense

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>we've been used to seeing, but it's very apparent that

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>kream Hunt is going to have a role here going forward.

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And for a lot of folks who are short at

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.719
<v Speaker 1>running back, because that's kind of where we are right now,

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Cream Hunt could really.

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Be a really important asset for you the rest of

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the way. So those are deep waiver wire dives.

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're adding somebody, you gotta be saying goodbye to somebody.

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So who are you putting back in the free agents pool?

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Loo kwon Ooh, I'm putting Trevor Lawrence right there on

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>the wire. And I know a lot of people are

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 4>thinking like why man, but he's been very underwhelming. I'm

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 4>tired of looking at him on my bench while I

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.679
<v Speaker 4>watch guys like bakers Am, Darneld, Andy Dalton and so

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 4>going to be Joe Flacco if he gets in, you know,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 4>for week to week, because I'm tired of not trying

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 4>to drop him when I want to add a guy

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 4>on a waiver wire and I choose another player that

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 4>goes off the next week because I'm saving it for

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Trevor Lawrence in my one quarterback leagues. But I'm just

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 4>gonna keep rocking when Donald until the wheels fall off.

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 4>And Andy Dawn in another league where I feel as

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 4>though he's going to be more useful down the line

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 4>during the stretch because they're own four right now. It's

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 4>not good over there in Douvaal, so they need to

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 4>figure it out. Before you know, Trevor Lawrence reaches any

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 4>roster anymore, So bye bye.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>They're owing four and Lawrence has had less than one

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty passing yards in three of four games.

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh did have two touchdowns on Sunday, for whatever that's worth.

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's been a struggle. His best Fantasy game

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of the year so far, it's been fourteen points.

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>It is. It is a slog with Trevor Lawrence. Uh Floria,

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>who are you waving goodbye.

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 3>To Zumier White. I was big on not drafting Zamir White,

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 3>and unfortunately I took him in one league.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 2>It's a really deep league. So so I'm still.

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Holding on to him there. But look look at like yesterday,

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 3>sixty percent of the snaps, You're like, okay, finally he's

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 3>playing more snaps in Alexander Madison seventeen carries, You're okay,

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 3>this is what we wanted. This is the volume we

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 3>signed up for. He's still Alexander Madison had five carries

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 3>and one target yesterday and still outproduced Zamir White. Like

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>at some point we just got to say, like, Zamir

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 3>White is not the guy you know who he is.

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>He is Alexander Madison.

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 3>He looked good when he had to come in for

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 3>a handful of games on a team that was rejuvenated

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 3>and stuff. But over the course of a seventeen game season,

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 3>he cannot be that guy. And Alexander Madison. Last year

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 3>this happened to him on the Vikings, So the fact

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 3>that now it's happening to Zamir.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>White is hilarious to me.

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, if I had to roster one of these,

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 3>give me Madison because he is seeing the goal on

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 3>work and the passing down work, and those are the

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 3>valuable touches in fantasy.

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I tweeted yesterday, Alexander Madison is the Raiders' best

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>running back and it's not close. Right now looks so

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>much more explosive. He's gonna be the guy going forward

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>to mere White. It's just it's hard to see a

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>path forward. He's not getting goal line touches, he doesn't

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 1>catch the football, the Raiders don't score a lot of points.

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>It just feels hard to make a case to certainly

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to start him, maybe even to keep.

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Him rostered at this point.

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mentioned that Kareem Hunt was a waiver wire.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Ad Well, Carson Steele can go back to the waiver

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>wire at this point. I mean, he was a nice

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>option when it just seemed like it was gonna be

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>him and p Ryan getting touches. Now that Kareem Hunt

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>is there, and the way he just stepped in and

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>immediately took control of that backfield from the first game

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and you had the Carson Steel play I think I

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>believe it was eleven snaps on Sunday, just a couple

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>of carries, no targets. Obviously, he is going to be

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the third option in this offense. And again, it's not

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the same Chiefs offense. It's gonna score a ton of points.

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>We're not looking to go that deep in the offense.

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just not really feasible to keep Carson Steel right

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>now on your fantasy rosters. There are other places you

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 1>can go if you need running back help. Carson Steele

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>is just not going.

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>To be it.

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 1>This for the foreseeable future looks like a Kareem Hunt

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>samaj p Ryan backfield there in Kansas City. Uh, And

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you can sort of, you know, work around that and

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>figure it out the rest of it.

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Weird times that the Chiefs are not.

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, two fumbles lost, man, I know Andy Reid

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 4>hates to fumble in the ball, so that could be

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 4>why Kareem Hunt got to step up and got all

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 4>these touches.

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, unfortunate either way.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It uh, you know, it's it's tough times in Kansas City,

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>has means tough times for fans.

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Everyone was ridiculous for saying that Samaj p Ryan was

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 3>going to hurd Isaiah Piccheco.

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>The Uh yeah, that's uh, that's kind of where we

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>are right now. It's it's wild, wild times for sure. Anyway. Uh,

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that will do it for this edition of the NFL

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Podcast. A happy, safe, and healthy, do good

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and live well. Enjoy the days, everybody. We will talk

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to you again tomorrow
