11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: analysts versus zombies too, except instead of the plants, you know,

12

Speaker 1: quarterback Nick Foles will start this weekend against the Raiders.

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: He's been recovering from a concussion he suffered Week seven

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, Medically cleared on Monday. Elliott, are you

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: taking Nick Foles and throwing him back in this high

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: octane offense? No way, man. You've got a second year

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: quarterback coming off a concussion, coming off the worst performance

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: of his NFL career against the Cowboys defense that was

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: really banged up, and you're gonna put him in your lineup.

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: No way, Not even on a week like this with

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: six teams on the lives. I should be need more

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: specific with what you're saying. Don't dance around, all right,

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna started. Sydney Rice done for the season after

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: tearing his a c L during Monday's win of the St.

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: Louis Rams fas. What does this mean for Russell Wilson

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: not having Sydney Rice, Well, Russell Wilson's still a stardom

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: for me because he's playing at home and he's playing

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers, and this just means more good things

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: for Golden Tint until Percy Harvin comes back and as

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the guy that we all know and love and fantasy

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Golden Tate will be the main beneficiary of the Rice

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: being out. And Doug Baldwin is also on the map

44
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: now as well. Is this gonna affect Percy Harvan all Elliott,

45
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: no Sitney Rice opposite him. I think it's gonna make

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: it better for Percy Harvon. But Percy Harvin sees what

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: they've got there in Seattle. He's not stupid. He's gonna

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: be great down the stretch for this team because they

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: need him. Yeah, and Percy and you need him because

50
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: you've held on to him this long in your fantasy lineup.

51
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: It's coming. Percy Harvin is close. Meanwhile, Texans running back

52
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Arian Foster was a d NP on Wednesday, Ben Tate

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: was limited. Both backs are expected to be end of

54
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: week decisions. On Monday, the team sign a trio of

55
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: running backs off the street, and then Gary Kubiak told

56
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle, I'm very concerned. I think they're both

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: going to give us everything they can to try and

58
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: play this week. So continue to follow NFL Fantasy Live

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: for this story, because Foster is a big deal. Getting

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: into the weekend. All right now, fantasy fans, remember we've

61
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: got six teams on a buy for Week nine. The Cardinals,

62
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: who suddenly your fantasy relevant thanks to Andre Ellington, the Broncos,

63
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: the Lions, the Jaguars, the Giants, and the forty Niners.

64
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: You're missing a lot of firepower. Here's some of the

65
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: top ten scorers you will be missing from your lineup

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: this weekend. Hayton Manning not there. Neither is Matthew Stafford.

67
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: These guys are one too. Kaepernick, Marino, Calvin Frank Gore.

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: What's this is an all star team? Guys you're missing?

69
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: No one was starting Calvin Johnson anyway, Ran boys, this

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: is the week to play the owner that has Peyton

71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: Manning's Calvin Johnson. Yes, but we're gonna help you out here.

72
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear some big spots starts that will hopefully

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: replace some of this lost production and fabs. Alex Smith

74
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: is someone who he was quiet for a long time.

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: Now he's worth a spot start. Let me preface this

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: by saying I don't trust Alex Smith. Every time he

77
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: has a good matchup. It seems like he burns me.

78
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: But he's got a good matchup this week against the

79
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. They allow the third most fantasy points to

80
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over the last four weeks, and listen, Alex Smith

81
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: can get the job done. I would start him over

82
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Tom Grady. I would certainly start him if you have

83
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: one quarterback on a buy. But you're sort of rolling

84
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: the dice here with Alex Smith. I love starting a

85
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: spot star with Look, man, I don't like this guy

86
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: at all. Be here you go. I don't like him,

87
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: but the matchup is very, very very attractive. All right, Elliott,

88
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: do you trust Darrell Pryor this week? I like Darrell Prior.

89
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: I like him because if well, take a look at

90
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: this piece of video right here, He's faster and just

91
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: about everybody on the field. He can run. He leads

92
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in rushing yards and no, by the way, the

93
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Eagles aren't playing good past defense either, so that's a

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: wonderful concoction for your fantasy team. I'm gonna start him,

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: and I like Darrell Prior's ability to make plays out

96
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: of the pocket when it breaks down. Guy I'm gonna

97
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: start this week is Jake Locker and coming off the

98
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: by he could still be available in your fantasy league.

99
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Take a look over nineteen fantasy points in three straight games.

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: And this is where situation, Elliot, where fantasy meets reality.

101
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Watching Locker play, you can tell he's got a much

102
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: better command of the offense. He has a bit of

103
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: a swagger and a bit of a cockiness to him

104
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: that he hasn't had before in his career. He's got

105
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: a good match against the Rams. Get Jake Locker in

106
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: your line. I'm gonna quote you. Can you play Jake Locker?

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: You're singing Creed to Jake. I like that. You could

108
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: be the weird bad We are close. Here's some running

109
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: back spots and art. Now for week Now, Elliott's gonna

110
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: sing a song and tell us about his guy in

111
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: a second. But first, fabs you like Geo Bernard? Now

112
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't like him. I love him Bernard on Thursday

113
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: night against the Miami Dolphins. They have allowed the fourth

114
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: most fantasy points of running backs this season. Now, Jo

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been good to last two games. He's scored under

116
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: nine fantasy points combined, but he will give you double

117
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: digits against the Miami Dolphins bank on it. Well, he can.

118
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: They can use him in the running and passing it.

119
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: But do you like him as much as Darren Sprowl.

120
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls this week. One thing we know about the Jets,

121
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: whether they win a game or lose forty to nine,

122
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to run the football on them.

123
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: So this is gonna take Pierre Thomas out of the equation.

124
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a Darren Sprowls game. Look at

125
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: what he does. He shows up on the road over

126
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: sixty scrimmage yards four of the five road games he's

127
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: played his last five. This is a situation where he's

128
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: their next best playmaker outside of Jimmy Graham. You have

129
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: to get him the football. They will get him the

130
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: football a ton, especially in a PPR league. He'll have

131
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: seven or eight catches this week and get in the

132
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: ends one at least once against the New York Jets.

133
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: How about Leavy on Bell Elliott. He wasn't great and

134
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: he got a touchdown, but he ran for twenty something

135
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: yards against the Raiders. Let's be honest. They're struggling running

136
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: the football, but they're playing a Patriots team without Vince

137
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Willfork without Gerald Mayo. That's their presence in the middle.

138
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: The last four games, the Patriots run defense is giving

139
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: up six hundred and twenty six yards and three touchdowns

140
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: six twenty six and four games. A little quick math,

141
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm gonna carry the six. That's uh yeah,

142
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: that's one six a game. That's pretty good. One fifty

143
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: six a game. You start leaving on good quick map,

144
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: there is good. We're good at math. Okay, well you're

145
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: good here. That's all that matters. Thanks man, I appreciate

146
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: that I was getting some wide receiver. Spose starts now

147
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: and fab's Kendall right again coming off by Jake Lockers,

148
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: number one guy. He's really shown that he's the person

149
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: he relies on. Do you know that Kendall Wright is

150
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: on pace for over ninety catches? He reminds me, sort of,

151
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: at least statistically, to Eddie Royal in his rookie year

152
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos. Good compared to give you a

153
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: lot of yards, doesn't give you a lot of touchdowns.

154
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: But in PPR leagues, this guy can absolutely help you.

155
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: If you lost Randall cop if you've lost two Jones,

156
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: if you lost Reggie Wayne. He can be your replacement.

157
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: And against the Rams, he's got a very good matchup.

158
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: They've allowed the six most fantasy points to wide receivers

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: on their home field. Yeah. I like Kendall Wright. Yeah,

160
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: you're looking between seven and ten for a flex start.

161
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Kendall Right can give you that this week. Watch Vincent Brown.

162
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: The Redskins defense is abysmal against the past. They have

163
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: allowed the fifth most fantasy points this season to wide

164
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: receivers fifteen touchdown passes. That's the fifth most in the NFL. Yes,

165
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: this is a Keenan Allen offense, and Keenan Allen is

166
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: really the number one guy. But a team that throws

167
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the football as much as the Chargers like to do,

168
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Vincent Brown is a great number two target and a

169
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: really good spot start, especially now considering you've got six

170
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: teams on a body. You're also going to a team's

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: number two receiver first spot start. Yeah, you know, call

172
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: this an f GP fantasy gut play. I like DeAndre

173
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Hopkins to get you a touchdown this week. I think

174
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: when you have a young quarterback and he's got an

175
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: athletic wide receiver, what's he gonna do. He's gonna throw

176
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: it up I could see a back shoulder fade here,

177
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: and that's what you need. You just mentioned, Jason, seven

178
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: to ten points is what you're looking for. Hey, DeAndre

179
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Hopkins only get you fifty yards, but he gets you

180
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: that lead ball in the end zone. Now you're over

181
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: ten and you're really happy. And let's be honest, Sandre

182
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Johnson has not been himself. I also like Kenny Stills

183
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: and also like your guy, Vincent Brown. Kenny Stills is

184
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of a tough play because you gotta really bank

185
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: on him to catch one fifty or sixty yard pass

186
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: a week. He's he's the one catch sixty yards in

187
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Greg Kenny steals a terrific for more. Now,

188
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: let's thrown over to Molly Caram and Marcus Grant. Guys, Jason,

189
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, my f g P says Elliott should have

190
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: had to sing us that toss. That would have been great,

191
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: That would have been fantastic. Molly Caram here at the

192
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grant, who's going to

193
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: tell us who's hot and who's not. Let's take a

194
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: look now at the top ten player ads four Week nine,

195
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: and looking at this list, the guys are just talking

196
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: about Kenny Stills a little bit. Clearly, the Saints have

197
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: plenty of offensive firepower, and Sean Payton said he continues

198
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: to play at a hot and consistent level. What does

199
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: this mean from a fantasy perspective, Well, I think Kenny

200
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: Stills is a great play. You heard Elliott mintioned it

201
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: just a little bit of ghost. Stills is that guy

202
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: who's taking advantage of the guys around him. Defense is

203
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: worry about Darren Scrolls catching it out of the backfield. Obviously,

204
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: they spent a ton of resources trying to stop Jimmy

205
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Graham in the middle of the field. That's left Kenny

206
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Stills locked up and a lot of one on one coverage.

207
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: He's able to get deep down the field. Certainly helps

208
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: when he's making athletic plays catching balls over top of

209
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: defensive backs. But he is getting more and war targets,

210
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: and he's basically made Marcus Colston fantasy explainable. Moving up

211
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: beyond him, Moving on here to the ram Zach Stacy

212
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: sustained an ankle sprain late into the Monday night loss

213
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks. He's been hot of late. What should

214
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: owners do here, Well, you hang on to Zach Stacy,

215
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: and especially in a week like this, you put him

216
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: in your lineup. It took the Ram forever to final

217
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: running back, but they finally found one. The good news

218
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: for Zach Stacy it doesn't look like a high ankle sprain.

219
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Those things tend to linger. They can be problematic, So

220
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: as long as he's ready to go, you put him in,

221
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: especially against the Titans defense of the last two weeks

222
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: has been really shaky against the run. But about Darryl

223
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: richardson short term insurance, I think he just passed on

224
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Darryl Richards and he had an opportunity and just blew

225
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: it this year. Speaking of passing, here's some guys that

226
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: people are passing on the most draw players on NFL

227
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: dot Com. And the question every week with this list

228
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: is our owners jumping the gun too quickly and kicking

229
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: guys aside before they should. And let's look at Ruben Randall.

230
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: The Giants wide receiver has had less snaps the past

231
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But is that because they've had the

232
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: lead they've had to leave they've kind of been grinding

233
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: things out. Look, I know that Eli Manning has been

234
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: shaking and that's probably part of the reason the Giants

235
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: have taken the football out of his hands. But let's

236
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: not panic on Ruben Randall after one bad game. He's

237
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: only just league's but he's the only guy who's caught

238
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass from Eli Manning in the last four games. Look,

239
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna get more targets and at one point we

240
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: talked about him surpassing hockey knicks. I think one bad

241
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: game makes it too quick to jump off the Randall

242
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: band wagons. You know who might be panicking a little bit,

243
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: that'd be the Vikings. Now, Greg Jennings continues to be

244
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: limited here with their quarterback situation. He hasn't scored a

245
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: touchdown since Week four. No, he has not just one

246
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: touchdown in his last seven games. He scored five or

247
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: more fantasy points just once in his last five games.

248
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: It has been awful for Greg Jennings. In fact, cor

249
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: Darryl Patterson is looking more and more like the guy

250
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: to have from that receiving corp if you want any

251
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: Vikings at all not named Adrian Peterson. We knew that

252
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: it was going to be tough for Greg Jennings leaving

253
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: Green Band going in Minnesota. Didn't realize it would be

254
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: this top do you think, Mrs Aaron Rodgers, why do

255
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: you think they want to hug it out so quick?

256
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Exactly still to come on NFL Fantasy Live. Want to

262
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: victory for you this weekend. NFL Fantasy Live just s

263
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: getting warmed up. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live Molly

264
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Caram joined by Michael Fabiano and Elliott Harrison. Guys, how

265
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: about a little Thursday Night football for you? Good games

266
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: sound good? It is the a f C North leading

267
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: Bengals who crushed the Jets heading down to Miami to

268
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: take on the Dolphins. They were in a close one

269
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: with the Pats this past weekend. For Thursday Night Football,

270
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Let's take a look now at your fantasy projections, and

271
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: let's start with since some studs here, Andy Dalton clearly

272
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: having a plethora of weapons. But first let's focus on

273
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Andy over the past month or So, yeah, Molly, he's

274
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: been playing lights out for the Bengals, and and really,

275
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the spike here. I mean,

276
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: the victory is unbelievable. It's it's really it's incredible because

277
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton earlier this year was under so much fire

278
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: and the biggest problem was he wasn't taking the vertical shots.

279
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: It was all checkdown, check down, check down, kind of

280
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: like last year. And really that's the whole key to

281
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: your fantasy quarterback. Can he make the vertical play. Look,

282
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: it's great to have a completion rate, but if they're

283
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: all none yard outs and two yard ends, Michael doesn't

284
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: really matter. With Andy Dalton, I like him in Miami.

285
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't like him to have a great game because

286
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: historically on Thursday Night football points are lower, and the

287
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins really need this game. And the Dolphins are really

288
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: tough against quarterbacks on their home field, allowing an average

289
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: a fewer than eleven of fantasy points per game. So

290
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: I think we're giving Dalton credit for being hot right now.

291
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: How about this staff though, three hundred plus pass yards,

292
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: three plus tds in a pass rating over a hundred

293
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: three straight games. Last guy to do it, Steve young

294
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: in now to his running back, Giovanni Bernard, and this

295
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: is a juicy matchup for him, right. I love Giovanni Bernard.

296
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: This is a very strong matchup. The Miami Dolphins can't

297
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: stop the run. They have allowed the third most fantasy

298
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: points to a posting running backs in South Florida this season.

299
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Start Giovanni Bernard. You will not be disappointed. Well, if

300
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: you're paying attention on the projections board, you notice that

301
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Michael and I differed on different on Gio Bernard and

302
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. Is because I have Marvin Jones getting touchdown.

303
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: He has Gio Bernard getting in touchdown. So regarding Marvin Jones,

304
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: here's the deal. He's not gonna be able to do

305
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: what he did against the Jets. I mean, come on,

306
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get four touchdowns every week unless you're

307
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: playing super Tech Mobile. Marvin Jones, I like to get

308
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: one touchdown in about seventy yards receiving in this game.

309
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: But again, I don't see Andy Dalton throwing for three

310
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: fifty to four hundred and part of what making Dalton

311
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: good is spreading the football around, so you can't expect

312
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: him to just go after Jones all the time. But

313
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: with everybody concentrating on covering A J. Green, he's really

314
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: emerged as a stead of the past few weeks. Absolutely,

315
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: but anytime the secondary roles coverage, Dalton's whole deal is

316
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: to just make his progressions and reads, not try to

317
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: force the ball to one player. Just a reminder, make

318
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: sure you check out Elliott and our resident scouts Daniel

319

00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: only available on NFL dot Com. Alright, guys, the Dolphins

324
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: dropped one in Week eight despite having a seventeen three

325
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: first half lead against the Patriots. We're looking now at

326
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: their projections here, and Elliot, I want to ask you,

327
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: is Tannehill a good option if your qps on a

328
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: by this week? I don't like it. I mean, fourteen

329
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: point four is not an awful start, It's close to

330
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: being viable. We always say, Michael that fifteen points is

331
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: what you're aiming for. It at least stay viable. But

332
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback position has so many high scores, it's hard

333
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: for me to start Tannehill against a very, very good

334
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Bengals defense. Here's the problem. Andy Dalton has got twenty

335
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: completions of twenty five yards or more. Ryan Tannehill has eleven.

336
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: He's taking the check down and like I said, with

337
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, he's not getting the vertical plays down the

338
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: field off set it. I don't really like him that

339
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: much as a fantasy start, unless you're desperate Tannhell's twenty

340
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: two and fantasy points. I just don't trust him enough,

341
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: especially on Thursday night. Let's go to the backfield. Lamar Miller,

342
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: you had a crush on him and the beginning of

343
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: the preseason I drafted this guy. How do you like

344
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: him this week? Well, if they gave him the football

345
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: on a more consistent basis, he would actually be very

346
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: good in fantasy. I think he's a flex coming off

347
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: of a good game, but I'm tempering expectations. The Bengals

348
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: have allowed the seven few of fantasy points are running backs.

349
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: We saw what they did to the Jets running backs

350
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: last week. They did nothing. So Miller one of the

351
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: flex and I don't have a ton of confidence that

352
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up double digits this week. How about

353
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: is wide receiver Elliott Mike Wallace. He seems to not

354
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: have lived up to the hype thus far. Yeah, we're

355
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of using the word receiver loosely considering what Mike

356
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: Walace has been doing lately. But here's the problem. He's

357
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: got a tough matchup. The Bengals are allowing quarterbacks a

358
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: sub eight passerrating. When you're allowing opposing quarterbacks and pass

359
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: rating of seventies, something that's not good. And then when

360
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: you throw in the fact that Mike Wallace hasn't had

361
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown in five games, give me a break. That's

362
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: not a confluence of greatness. Let's just put it that way. Look,

363
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: when he was in Pittsburgh, he dropped the football, but

364
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: he had Antonio Brown and Heath Miller to take some

365
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: of the pressure off. Dustin Keller has been out all year.

366
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Brian Hartline doesn't scare a lot of people. I don't

367
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: like Mike Wallace this week, averaging just four point two

368
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: catches and fifty six yards not it's tough to even

369
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: recommend him as a flexi play exactly. And for your nightcap,

370
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: remember just a reminder make sure to that your DVRs

00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: out of a hundred and thirty experts. So now you've

385
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: got to be number one this week? Well we'll try.

386
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: There's only one more, one more ladder to climb here,

387
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: so number one this week? All right, here we go.

388
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at your starts and sits right now.

389
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: Every Wednesday you reveal at NFL dot Com. We're gonna

390
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: take a look at him right now for the first time.

391
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: Your recommendations a quarterback, Romo, Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Alex Smith,

392
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: your sleeper alert, Terrell Prior now fabs your Terrell Prior

393
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: had a nice week last week, but Russell Wilson has

394
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: really been coming on later. Never a great week last week,

395
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: but a good enough one right well. Russell Wilson has

396
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: this weird trend of being really good when it's an

397
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: odd numbered week. And we're going into Week nine and

398
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: he's playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They've given up eight

399
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: touch down passes in their last three games. The Buccaneers

400
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: have also allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks over

401
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, Jason. He's also playing in Seattle,

402
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: where he's typically very good. That's three really good reasons

403
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: to start Russell Wilson this week. And he's running the

404
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: football more than he has the last few weeks. It

405
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: seems like all the running quarterbacks running more. One guy

406
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: not running unless he's running to your bench this week

407
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady. I told people that sit Tom Brady

408
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: last week. I unfortunately drafted him, But now I have

409
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: acquired Colin Kaepernick, so I don't have to play Brady anymore.

410
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: Tough matchup against the Steelers. They've allowed an average a

411
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: fewer than fourteen fantasy points per game to quarterbacks on

412
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: the road. Brady in his last four games two touchdowns,

413
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: four interceptions. That's more like Scott Zolac numbers, not Tom Brady.

414
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: He's a matchup base guy. And even this week with

415
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: his rankings, he's gonna be fifteen or sixteen. I don't

416
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: know what's going on, but this is not the real

417
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Friends. All right, let's go to the running backs.

418
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Heres fad as a starting since recommendations, Eddie Lacy is

419
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: going to be in this every week. Well pretty soon

420
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: we're not able to say it because he's gonna be

421
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: an automatic se awesome to Marco Murray, Ryan Matthew, Stephen, Ridley, Giovanni,

422
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Bernard Sleeper on Thursday Night Football. But Ridley fans, we've

423
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: come full circle. It was he's the guy at the

424
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, then he's not. Now he is again.

425
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: He's rushed for a touchdown in three straight games. He

426
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: has eleven plus fantasy points in those games, and the

427
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: Steelers have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to running

428
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: backs on the road, and Jason, that sounds weird because

429
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: we're so used to the Steelers being really good against

430
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: the run this year, they are not good against the run.

431
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Last week Darren McFadden ran all over them, had a

432
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns. So even though the Patriots backfield is

433
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: a bit confusing with what Marcus Grant likes to call

434
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Bella tricks, you still play Steven Ridley. And that's the

435
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: other thing too. You see the Steelers, you think of

436
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers and you think they're very good. This is

437
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: not a good Steelers team on offense or on defense.

438
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: These are There are fantasy points to be had when

439
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: you're playing against the Steelers. Stephen Jackson. Very exciting for

440
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: him to come back last week, but fourteen touches and

441
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: thirteen yards from scrimmage, he's a sent for you. Yeah,

442
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: not so good. And they're six teams off, So a

443
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: lot of people may have to play Steven Jackson. Just

444
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: keep in mind that the Panthers have allowed the third

445
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: fewest fantasy points of running backs on their home field.

446
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: In fact, they held Marshawn Lynch weeks ago on their

447
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: home field down under seven fantasy points, So this is

448
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: a major risk. Steven Jackson not what we thought he

449
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: was going to be, at least so far this season. Well,

450
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: and here's why I'm down on Stephen Jackson too, is

451
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: because they throw the football the Falcons a nearly eighty

452
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: percent of their place, which is the most in the NFL.

453
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: So if eighty percent of the time you're throwing the

454
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: football and only twenty percent of the time you're running it,

455
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: how good is he clearly gonna be? Yeah, the math

456
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: doesn't factor in their Stephen Jackson has been a disappointment,

457
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: all right, FABS and I do in math have about

458
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: some more starts and sits at wide receiver Keenan Allen,

459
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: who has been on fire the last couple of weeks,

460
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: now coming off the by same thing with Josh Gordon

461
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson. This could be the week for his breakout.

462
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: You're sleeper's Denarius More against the Philadelphi Eagles, who had

463
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: a quiet week last week. But FABS Keenan Allen suddenly

464
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: has gone from a waiver wire pickup to someone you're

465
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: playing every week at least as a too. One of

466
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the best waiver wire pickups and fantasy football this year.

467
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: He has a receiving touchdown at two of his last

468
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: three games. The Rents Game have allowed ten receiving touchdowns

469
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: in their last three home games to the a f C.

470
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: How about that verse that thank you Bill said Ellen

471
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: Kareem for that one. I really think Keenan Allen is

472
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: a must start this weekend. A top ten fantasy football receiver.

473
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: Start him, and he's still available in like forty percent

474
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: of leagues. So I don't know if what's going on

475
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: with some people, but pick him up. It will be

476
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: a treat. It's it's West Coast games. People figure out

477
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch. Antonio Brown is someone fats. He's

478
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: got forty five catches since week free. It's the motes

479
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's on pace for a twelve yard season,

480
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: but his fantasy points just don't match up unless you're

481
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: in a PPR league. He's a risk this week. What

482
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: are the Patriots, dude, Jason? They take away the opposition's

483
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: best weapon, and to me, the Steeler's best weapon is

484
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. With or without a keep to leave, this

485
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough matchup for Brown. The Patriots

486
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: have allowed the seventh fewest fantasy points of wide receivers

487
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: at home. So listen, I've got Antonio Brown in one

488
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: of my leagues, and I probably gonna have to play him,

489
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: but I don't have to like it. You really have

490
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: to temper expectations with Antonio Brown starts and sits at

491
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: tight end Jason Witten. Antonio gates Martella's Bennett back, but

492
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: they'll be of a question mark with no j Cutler there.

493
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: You've got Jordan Reads your sleeper versus San Diego and

494
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: fantas one more week and we gotta take him out

495
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: of the sleeper category. Yeah, he is not going to

496
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: be a sleeper very much longer. He has been extremely

497
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: good for fantasy owners, extremely good for the Redskins. He's

498
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: got a really good rapport Robert Griffin the third. He

499
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: has fifty plus yards in four straight games, twenty three

500
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: targets over the last two weeks. That's the most among

501
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: all tight ends in the National Football League. This isn't

502
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: even good match up on paper, Jason, but Jordan Read

503
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: has been too good to sit right now and proving

504
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: the garbage points or as good as any points. Timothy

505
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: Right has had a nice last couple of weeks, though,

506
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: you think the good times come to an end. Form

507
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: he's going to Seattle. There is one player in Tampa

508
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: Bay that I would start this week, and that's Vinza Jackson,

509
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: and I don't like it at all. Timothy Wright has

510
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: got a very very bad matchup. You look at the Seahawks.

511
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: They have allowed the second US fantasy points of tight

512
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: ends at home, and last week he had a good

513
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: game against the Panthers, but a lot of it, like

514
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: you said, wasn't arbage time. So while I would pick

515
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: up Tim Wright for my fantasy team because the tight

516
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: end position is getting thin, I wouldn't play in this week,

517
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: not in Seattle, not against the Seahawks. Let's take a

518
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: look at two defenses we both like this week as

519
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: starts the Saints against the New York Jets. Yes, the

520
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Jets played better at home, but don't be fooled. The

521
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: Jets have given football away twenty times their last eight

522
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: home games. They've allowed sacks over twenty three their last five.

523
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: So the Saints are gonna get sacks, they're gonna get turnovers,

524
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and with Geno Smith there's always the possibility of a

525
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: pick six. They're a very strong player this week, and

526
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: the Jets offense is just really so inconsistent. Is that

527
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory is a beloved pal who's gonna catch passes.

528
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: So I like the Saints and what Ryan has brought

529
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: to this defense has really helped, not only on the field,

530
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: but in fantasy as well. Start the Titans defense this week.

531
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: They're available in a lot of leagues. Look at this.

532
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: Eleven or more fantasy points in every road game this season.

533
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: This means this team goes on the road and shows up.

534
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be any times and the Titans are

535
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna show up and it's gonna be a rollover game.

536
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: We don't play well and against the Rams with Kellen

537
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: Clemens nine points and and potentially a band up Zack Stacy,

538
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: this is a great play this week. You only had

539
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: to say two words, Kellen. That's Titans defense is a

540
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: good play. All right, there you go. Now for some

541
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: Week nine fantasy sleepers. Let's throw it over to Adam Rank.

542
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: Everybody Adam Rank here and every Wednesday I published my

543
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: list of eleven sleepers to help get you through the week.

544
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: So for those of you at home, or perhaps you're

545
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: watching this at stake Lee's Barbershop in Los Angeles. Here

546
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: are ten names that you need to know for Week nine,

547
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: and we'll start with Kirk Cousins as a precautionary measure.

548
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: Don't rush out and started unless something happens with r

549
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: G three. And I want to let you know I

550
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: was tweeted about Josh McCown. He's got a nice little

551
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: match up against the Packers. But realize that road meetings

552
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: against the Packers, the Bears have had only one quarterback

553
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: throw for three yards. So let's keep account of the

554
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: wire and look at some guys who could help you

555
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: this week. Guys like Donald Brown, who had a season

556
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: high fourteen touches against the Broncos in Week seven. Those

557
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: numbers should continue to increase because few teams run the

558
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: ball more than the Colts. And let's be nice Trent Richardson,

559
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: he's been struggling a little bit. The matchup against the

560
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Texans is better than you think as well, as Houston

561
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: has allowed the eleventh most fantasy points to running backs

562
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: over the last four games. Now, do you need a receiver,

563
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Let's give a look at Dexter mccluster that don't let

564
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: the number twenty to fool you. He's a receiver. His

565
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: fantasy points of increased for three consecutive games, and he

566
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: had a season high thirteen touchdown or excuse me, thirteen

567
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: touches against the Browns last week, which shows Andy Reid

568
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson are finding ways to keep him involved.

569
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs played the Bills this week, who have allowed

570
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the most points the fantasy receivers on the year, and

571
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: he saw it Kenny Stills did to him last week,

572
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: who also has won of ranks eleven. So go ahead

573
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: and add Dexter mccluster. Now let's go to our Livingston

574
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: Dell shuffle machine to pick our defense of the week,

575
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: and it is the Oakland Raiders. I think I speak

576
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: for most fantasy enthusiasts when I say we want Matt

577
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Barkley to start. But it doesn't matter who quarterbacks the

578
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: Eagles because they are very generous with the football. The

579
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: Eagles have eighteen giveaways in their last six road games

580
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: versus the a f C and if I have a out,

581
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: at least one sack in thirty five consecutive games. Plus,

582
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 1: the Raiders are pretty good at home. They scored at

583
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: least nine fantasy points in each home game this season.

584
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Now you think you would you think you needed one more,

585
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: I'll give you one more. Everybody wants to go run

586
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: out and grab DHB. No, no, no, there's another guy

587
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: to add in Indianapolis. But to find that out you

588
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: have to go to NFL dot com slash ranks eleven

589
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: to get that name. And that's it for me. Thanks

590
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: for having me, Adam Rank. He knows a guy coming

591
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: up next on the program. A few players have been

592
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: fantasy zombies. We'll tell you which ones will come back

593
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: to life for the rest of the season. This is

594
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Great Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live,

595
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the NFL, joined now

596
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: by Elliott Harrison. Oh my gosh and Marcus Grant. Like

597
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: huddling up, We're getting ready? Okay, yes we just went there. Alright, guys.

598
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: One of the most popular players being asked about in

599
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: trending right now in Fantasy Genius is Panthers QB Cam

600
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: new and he started slow last season and finished on fire.

601
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: Can we expect the same this year? Elliott? I like

602
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: Cam Newton going forward. I think he's playing great football,

603
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's playing smarter football. This isn't a

604
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: guy just going on a tear. This is a third

605
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: year veteran quarterback. Let me read you some numbers last

606
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: three games. These are his completion percentages seventy six point nine,

607
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: eight eight point two and seventy one point nine. His

608
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: passer ratings marcus one forty three point four, one thirty

609
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: six point three and one eleven point six. That's trending good.

610
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I'll add on to that

611
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: because in the last two seasons he's had ten games

612
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: with the passer rating of a hundred or better. In

613
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: each one of those, he's had seven or more rushes.

614
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: His last three games he's running nine, ten and eleven times,

615
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: So he's starting to run the football more and as

616
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: he runs more, his passing numbers are getting better. Does

617
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: he like to hold hands like us and long walks

618
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: on the beach? Now, I'm sure that that you know

619
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: gets in tune with Steve Smith and his receiver. All right,

620
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: here's a look at cam Man. The Panthers remaining schedule.

621
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Newgon has one of the harder Fantasy QB schedules coming up,

622
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: but he has pretty nice matchups with two coming up

623
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: versus the Falcons and games against the Books and jis

624
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: you know what time it is? It is that time

625
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: of the week, Engineered to Win, presented by Volkswagen. We're

626
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna put one thirty on the clock and then what

627
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? We're gonna go through as many

628
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: fantasy genius questions from the fans as we can. We

629
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: love to hear from you guys. You ready, let's do it.

630
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: Let's do it. First question, better start Week nine? Matt

631
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: Ryan or Andy Dalton. I'm going Andy Dalton. I mean

632
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: he's been read hot lately. I mean Matt Ryan has

633
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of been up and down, had a bad Week eight.

634
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm going with Dalton here. Word to your lab partner.

635
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: I like Andy Dalton as well. Matt Ryan's playing the

636
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: second best defense and football talking about scoring in the

637
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Give me Andy Dalton. That bond continues. Let's

638
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: stay with quarterbacks and Week nine. Philip Rivers or r

639
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: G three. I like Philip Rivers. R G three was

640
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: very inconsistent last week. Yeah, he looks healthier, but the

641
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: passing game still sucks. As Pierre Garson said, So Kinney

642
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, who's been as consistent as any quarterback in

643
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: the league save Peyton Manning. Well, we talk about Cam

644
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: Newton and his ability to run opening the passing game

645
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: r G three, his hesitant to run the football. The

646
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: Rivers has a plethora of targets and he's using them all.

647
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: I like Rivers. I say, no, RG three three points

648
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: last week, better flex week nine. Marvin Jones or Kenny

649
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: Steals both have been on fire. I'm gonna go with

650
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills in this one. I know Marvin Jones was

651
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: huge last week, but still seems to have taken over

652
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: as maybe the top target after Jimmy Graham on that

653
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Saints team. Well, a couple of things. I love your

654
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: three amigos reference to plethora, and I picked up Kenny Stills.

655
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: But I'm going Marvin Jones. That's a tough assignment. The Jets,

656
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan's gonna have that defense ready to play after

657
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: they got their butt kick by Cincinnati thirty seconds. Let's

658
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: speed it up, fellas a better start Week nine? Mark

659
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: Tells Bennet or Greg Olsen. Greg Olson, Mark Tellis Bennet's

660
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: no way not holding hands anymore. All right, let's stay

661
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: with Week nine. Giovanni Bernard or Levian Bell. I'm going

662
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: with Levian Bell. I think the Steelers get that running

663
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: game going and he kind of picks it up a little.

664
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: I agree in the Patriots run defense and they lost

665
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Mayo on Will Fork not good at all. Given up

666
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: about a hundred and fifty game. That's the buzzer. That means.

667
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Last question, Stephen Ridley or I'm not sure who Stephen

668
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: Ridley is going to be up against here, Darren Stephen Ridley,

669
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm going Ridley. The only thing is you just worry

670
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: about Bellatricks, but you can't do I go Steven Ridley.

671
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Did you see Belatrick's Halloween costume? Yes, fantastic. That was stellar,

672
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: just like you too. That was engineered to win, presented

673
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: by Volkswagens. For more, let's throw it over to Jason

674
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Smith and Michael Fabriano. That's a lot. You appreciate it.

675
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold hands. You've got no chance, not yours. Alright, men, men, men, men.

676
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna take a look at some of the

677
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks as you hit the stretch. Run with the quarterbacks

678
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: with the easiest remaining fantasy schedules and the toughest fantasy schedules.

679
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: This is based on fantasy points allowed the easiest schedule

680
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: down the stretch is Alex Smith r G three on

681
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: this board, whoever winds up playing quarterback for the Bears,

682
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning, whoever plays quarterback for the Eagles.

683
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior on this list fads He's been a spot

684
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: starter so far this year, but can you make him

685
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: your starter considering the schedule that's out there. I still

686
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: think he's a matchup based starter. But if the matchups

687
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: are good more often than not, then yeah, he's going

688
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: to be a starter. Four games are raining against the

689
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: ten easiest defenses against quarterbacks, three games against the ten

690
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: toughest defenses against quarterbacks. And also remember these statistics are

691
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: based on passing the football. It doesn't take into account

692
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: what he can do with his legs. You know me, Smith,

693
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: I love me some TP. Don't flush him just yet.

694
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna say Arrow going

695
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: up for r G three, He's got seven games left

696
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: against bottom twelve defenses in the NFL, and this is

697
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: a situation where as he gets healthier, getting called out

698
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: a little bit bike here Pierre Garson. As Elliott mentioned,

699
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: he's going to get better as the weeks go on

700
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: and already you wanna talk about him not running the football,

701
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: but he's got a hundred and sixty eight yards rushing

702
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: the last three games. That's most among quarterbacks. R G

703
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: three will be a weekend and week out starter four you,

704
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: especially with the way his schedule lines up for him

705
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Now we're gonna look at the quarterbacks

706
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: with the toughest remaining schedules based on fantasy points allowed.

707
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Yes, he's a week in a week I

708
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: started for you. But knowing this fact for Andrew Luck,

709
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: is this something where you go, boy Andrew Luck away

710
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: from home where he's not as good, I'm gonna sit

711
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: him this week. It's worrisome, especially with Reggie Wayne out

712
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Andrew Luck no games

713
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: against the eight team easiest defenses against quarterbacks for the

714
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: rest of the season, six games against the ten toughest

715
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: defenses against signal callers, So this is a little bit worrisome.

716
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: I think any time Andrew Luck is playing at home,

717
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna start him regardless, But on the road, like

718
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: this week against the Houston Texans, maybe you want to

719
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: sit Andrew Luck. He's, in fact, one of my league's

720
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: I have Andrew Luck. I'm sitting in for Jake Locker

721
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: this week because he's playing away from home. He's one

722
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: of those tough guys when he gets away from the

723
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: friendly confines Colin Kaepernick. One rushing touchdown and a couple

724
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: of straight games, it doesn't matter to me. Yes, he's

725
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: got a couple of games left against tough, nacy defenses.

726
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: He's got three games against top sixties, but he's running

727
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: the football. FABS. If this was the Colin Kaepernick from

728
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: up until three weeks ago, who was just sitting back

729
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: and throwing it and not being mobile, I would say

730
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 1: sit this guy. But now he's getting back to what

731
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: he was doing well. Last year he ran all over

732
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is gonna be a consistent theme.

733
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't care who he's playing against. He's back to

734
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: being that guy. He's starting for me. I just acquired

735
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick in a trade, and I think he's the

736
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: guy you go after regardless of the schedule, because you're right,

737
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: it's all about running the football. With Kaepernick, he can

738
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: give you a hundred and fifty yards passing. It doesn't

739
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: matter if he gives you that sixty yards rushing in

740
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You're golden. Yeah, that's eleven or twelve points

741
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: before he even throws a pass, right, So that's Colin

742
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: Kaepernick for you. Coming up next on NFL Fantasy Live,

743
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: we take a look at the players who have been

744
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: under achieving this year, and we'll tell you which ones

745
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: will rise up from the grave for the back half

746
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: of your fantasy season. NFL Fantasy Live rolls on. Welcome

747
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live. Jason Smith here alongside Michael Fabiano,

748
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, and Elliott Harrison. We're gonna talk about some

749
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: fantasy zombies. These are players that have underachieved so far

750
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: but are about to wake from the dead and help

751
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: teams out big time for the playoff push. The one

752
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: thing I found, it's kind of tough to dig through

753
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: field turf to get to the zombies to get him

754
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: to come out. Paid eight fifty for one of those

755
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: things at Scarborough Fair because you can tell this is

756
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: some dude with a minstrel All right, Marcus, who's your

757
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna rise from the dead the second half

758
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: of the season. I've got Tom Brady, and so far

759
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: this year he's been a lot more jack Ol than

760
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Hide or Hide than Jack Old whatever. Either way, he

761
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: hasn't really helped you out. He hasn't been the guy

762
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: you thought he was gonna be when you drafted him.

763
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: But look at this point, just accept the fact that

764
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a matchup based starter for you. But

765
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: you play him in the right weeks. He's got brunk

766
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: back and Damny Hmondland can get healthy and stay on

767
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: the field. Those are a couple of targets that he

768
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: really trusts. He's a guy who you know, you play

769
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: him against the right teams can get your fantasy win.

770
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: And in the two team only Jekyl and Hide League,

771
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: Jekyl his first page. Now he's in a Hide would

772
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: be your second. Very good. Let's get to Chris Johnson.

773
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: It sounds crazy, Michael Fabiano has been trying to give

774
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: Chris Anson away. Now if you held on to him

775
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: or able to obtain him in a deal, this is

776
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: his time. His schedule lightens up immensely over the back

777
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: half of the season, starting this week against the St.

778
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: Louis Rams. Yes, it's been bad for c J two ka,

779
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: but now is his time. As the team gets comfortab

780
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: under Jake Locker, who can stretch the field on offense.

781
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: This is gonna be Chris Johnson, not to be the

782
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: old Chris Johnson, but good enough to at least be

783
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: a flex play for you fabs. When is c J.

784
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: Spiller gonna rise up from the day. Well, here's the thing.

785
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to put two and two together here.

786
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson has been phenomenal. He hasn't played in a

787
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: full sixteen games his two thousand intent, so at some

788
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: point he's gonna get hurt. And when he gets hurt,

789
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller will be close to from this ankle

790
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: injury he missed last week's game. Let him rest. C J.

791
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: Spiller is too good to be this bad. In the statueets,

792
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna help people reach the fantasy playoffs

793
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch. He's the guy who you think dies

794
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the horror movie and then comes

795
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 1: back at the very end and saves the herald. Sure,

796
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Donald pleasants, I'm not Lamar Miller. Finally, Joe Philpen figures out,

797
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: you know what, if we give this guy the football,

798
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna give us some yards. It's exactly what happened

799
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: last week. His touches have gone up the last two weeks,

800
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: so is his production. He has a great yards per

801
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: carry average over ten fantasy points a week ago. This

802
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: is the thing. Now the Dolphins have realized we can't

803
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: just throw the football, throw it and win. They've given

804
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: away a three and o start. Lamar Miller has now

805
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: proven to be that work horse guy. He will be

806
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: a great play for you going forward this season, someone

807
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: who will rise up from the dead and not have

808
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: to worry about getting hit with fabs his sickle. You're

809
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to worry about it. Two seconds, all right, Marcus?

810
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: How about Ray Rice? Is it about time for him

811
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: to wake up? I think it is. And is there

812
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: any team out there that outthinks its offense more than

813
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, you've got Ray Rice, who's

814
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: a dynamic playmaker in the backfield, and they go away

815
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: from him. And I know the offensive line has had

816
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: some problems for the Baltimore Ravens. They've struggled to open

817
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: some holes. Rice has kind of been stopped up a

818
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: lot more times. But because he's dynamic, because he can

819
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: catch you out of the backfield, because he can find

820
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: holes where a lot of times there aren't things there.

821
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: He's the guy I think you're gonna see a lot

822
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, especially as the weather

823
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: gets cold and gets tough for to throw the football.

824
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: That's fantasy predator, And you know I'm the only one

825
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: who could translate. Okay, okay, what a Fantasy predator exclus

826
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: with Marcus. The Ravens will run the ball more, Ray

827
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: Rice will be a stug in the second half. Fantasy

828
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: predators should check in more. Fantasy Predator. Think about Percy Harmon, Well,

829
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: I can't understand Amilli Fabs can, but I can tell

830
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: you about Percy Harvin. It's his offensive coordinator. Daryl Bebel

831
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: was with him in Minnesota when they used Harmon in

832
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: the backfield, So I love him down the back stretch.

833
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: You saw how crutty the Seahawks receivers were and Sat

834
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: Louis pretty much they always are for the last five years.

835
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: Harvon had over six hundred yards rushing and four touchdowns

836
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: in his time with Minnesota. Rushing, he can get you

837
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: that extra points and he's automatically the best receiver Seattle has.

838
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: So when he comes back, which I'm not sure it's

839
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: gonna be with the Bucks this week. I think they'll

840
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: rest him another week. This guy could put up monster

841
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: points for you in your fantasy playoffs. Do you need

842
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: to bring him back against the Bucks at home? No?

843
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: How about Roddy White, Fabbs. I just want to say

844
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: Crutty I haven't said was about nine years old. I

845
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: didn't think Roddy White when he comes back, will end

846
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: up being a valuable acid of your fantasy team. Listen,

847
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with a hamstring. He's dealing with He's

848
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: been Crutty White. That's exactly right, Crettie Wright. See what

849
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: I did there? That does the matter is stop at Smith.

850
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is he is the best

851
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver on that team. When he comes back. The

852
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: Falcons have not been good this year. They're going to

853
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: be throwing the football a lot. To RaSE Steficits in

854
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: the second half, Roddy White is a guy a lot

855
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: of people are asking me about on Twitter. Should I

856
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: drop him? No? Keep him? And if he's been dropped,

857
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: pick him up? H how about Jason Witten second half

858
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: of the Sell Jason? I like Jason within a lot

859
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys always look for him when times get

860
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: tough last year. He started off really poorly and then

861
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: he ends up setting an NFL record for catches by

862
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: a tight end. Right now, the Cowboys obviously are getting

863
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: anything out of Miles Austin. They're getting nothing out of

864
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: their running game. And as defensive slide over to help

865
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: out on Terrence Williams. Guess what this dude's on a linebacker.

866
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: Jason Witten on a linebacker is a mismatch and he

867
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: will get the targets. All right, here's our Fantasy Zombies

868
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: recap more and some of the players we think will

869
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: rise up the second half of the season and give

870
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: you fantasy relevance. And just so, by the way, Donald

871
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: Pleasant was in like every minute the movie. He wasn't

872
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: a support. And I want to clarify some You see

873
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: Witten's ranked eighth there. He's had nine fantasy points total

874
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: the last three games, so that's a little bit of

875
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: a misnomer. All right. Coming up next on the program,

876
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: the trade deadline has come and gone in the NFL season.

Speaker 1: is all decked out and ready to go. And as

889
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: best Shakespeare. Yeah, just a little Jason Smith here got

890
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: more hair than you. Stays up there pretty good. Remember,

891
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: fantasy fans, if you have any questions you'd like answered,

892
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: you can always submit them to us at NFL Fantasy.

893
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: So take a look at some trade questions we've had

894
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: twitted to us as you get close to your trade

895
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: deadline in your fantasy league. Here's one thoughts on Andre

896
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: Johnson for Eddie Lacy. I owned Josh Gordon, Keenan, Allen,

897
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: James Jones, Percy Harvin, doesn't matter. I Am not going

898
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: to trade away Eddie Lacey, not for Andre Johnson. Yeah, Well,

899
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: if you're getting Eddie Lacey Forerani Johnson, then obviously that

900
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal deal. But Lacey is just too valuable

901
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: right now. I would argue that there are probably only

902
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: two or three wide receivers that I would take straight

903
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: up for Eddie Lacey. They're all studs. Well, I would say,

904
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: just by reading his tweet, I think he is getting

905
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy in this deal. And you submit, submit, submit

906
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: on this Eddie you see, had twenty nine carries last

907
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota. Green Bay wants to run the ball

908
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: so they can protect Aaron Rodgers otherwise he gets sacked

909
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: a lot. Marcus, how do you not make the deal?

910
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: You absolutely make the deal. You look at the other

911
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: receivers he has. You talk about Josh Gordon and Chena Allen,

912
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that you're probably starting over Andre

913
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: Johnson at this point. Anyway, you can deal Johnson and

914
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: get Lacy back, that's a win. Dandy Lacey right now

915
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: is the top five fantasy running back where we sit

916
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: right now? A right Heather Pink two has one that says,

917
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: what you trade Percy Harvin for Steven Jackson, Marcus, you

918
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: make that deal. I am not giving up Harvin. You

919
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: picked them up, You're holding onto him, You're waiting for

920
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: something to happen. I just am so hesitant to give

921
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: him up without seeing what he can do, especially for

922
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson, who has struggled this year, even after returning

923
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: from injury, has not been the same guy. Marcus the

924
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: woffler who is all talking up Stephen Jackson to me

925
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Yeah, I'm busting you on TV.

926
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: You bet you keep Percy Harvard. You don't make this deal,

927
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: Percy Harvins can be valuable for you in the playoffs. Hey,

928
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: little Jason Smith trans Yeah, okay, Now, don't trade person Carmon.

929
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: This is how Michael Fabiano actually makes his decisions. He

930
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: consults skeleton on it, at least during Halloween. Please tweet

931
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: us who's taller fantasy feedback? All right, now, Fabs and

932
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: Marcus had a trade go down this week in our

933
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: experts leak. So let's take a little at it and

934
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: worry about heights later. Marcus and Fabs. Here was the

935
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: deal Marcus received, Russell Wilson, Chris Johnson, Jimmy Graham. Finally,

936
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. Congratulations the voice on your shoulder told you

937
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: to trade Chris Johnson, and you got back Colin Kaepernick,

938
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden, Brandon Marshall. Two keys of this deal, obviously, Elliott,

939
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: are Chris Johnson and for me it's Brandon Marshall. But

940
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Chris Johnson aspect of this?

941
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: I think Chris Johnson, Darren McFadden or six of one

942
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: half dozen the other. I think that's an even swap

943
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: right there. And let's be honest, FABS was trying to

944
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: deal him for Doug Free earlier in the newsroom. I

945
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: do like this deal for you, though slightly. It's pretty even,

946
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: but I actually like to deal better for what wouldn't

947
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: make it any better if if I let you know

948
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: that FABS also promised to buy me lunch for we

949
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 1: because I took Chris Johnson to exactly. Yeah, I think

950
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: FATS has taken a big risk in this because you

951
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made the trade if Jake Cutler was still healthy.

952
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall with no Jake Cutler is a big He's

953
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: getting Jimmy Graham back and Jeffrey was getting more targets

954
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: even with Jay Cutler there. That's tough. It's it's going

955
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: to be. You're not trading, You're not trying. That's what

956
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: he just told me. You know I'm a big trader.

957
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah you are, Elliott. Let's trade sit there for like

958
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: three months. That's a rat. Fantasy fans join us tomorrow
