Speaker 1: m To To to Do Too, To Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Doo. Yeah. This is a as the
Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever here in the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network alongside Frankie Stamford, I am Gregg Greggy Game God
Speaker 1: Aren't Late No Them. In twenty eighteen, over a hundred
Speaker 1: ten points scored over a thousand total yards greg in
Speaker 1: a game that featured now QB one, q B two,
Speaker 1: RB one, RB four, Wide receiver one two other top
Speaker 1: twelve wide receivers, tight end one two. Defensive scores. First,
Speaker 1: what if I told you that Rams would score fifty
Speaker 1: points and Todd Gurley would have ten Fantasy points. That's
Speaker 1: like the biggest thing of that game today is that
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley had ten fantasy points, probably his lowest output
Speaker 1: all the year. It's the most it's the most fantasy
Speaker 1: football thing ever. Yeah, it just makes the most sense
Speaker 1: that in a game sixty three and a half point total,
Speaker 1: the highest total of all time, a hundred and five
Speaker 1: points scored, twelve fifty five great, great game, four point
Speaker 1: six yards per carry, added three receptions for thirty nine yards.
Speaker 1: I didn't even crack hundred yards. He was not involved
Speaker 1: in this game at all, man, Like I don't get
Speaker 1: Do you ever get it? Did McVeigh answer that question?
Speaker 1: Like why John Girley was not involved in this game?
Speaker 1: It was? It was crazy, man. This is back and
Speaker 1: forth all night long. Um Sean McVeigh was going out
Speaker 1: of his mind on the sidelines, and you know it was.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. This whole entire game was just crazy.
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is ridiculous. Patrick Mahomes is the biggest arm
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. Jared Goff calm and
Speaker 1: cool to pick sixes, the fun Wold for touchdowns. This
Speaker 1: is just a wild game in every sense of the word.
Speaker 1: Why y'alled? It was easily the best Monday Night football
Speaker 1: game of all time. I know they said it was
Speaker 1: the highest score. It would end up being the highest
Speaker 1: scoring game in NFL history. No, we finished eight point
Speaker 1: UM to a game which Cincinnati, I wasn't Cleveland back
Speaker 1: in two thousand four, and then one back a little
Speaker 1: a little before that, um the highest game total a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen. This want to finish with a hundred
Speaker 1: and five? Yeah? And uh look, just another six touchdown
Speaker 1: performance from Patrick Mahomes, who has now done that twice
Speaker 1: this year. Has thirty seven touchdowns through eleven games and
Speaker 1: is on pace for nearly fifty four passing touchdowns. I
Speaker 1: think it's like fifty three point eight. Obviously, we all
Speaker 1: remember Peyton Manning sent a touchdown record with fifty five.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on pace for fifty four. It's been first
Speaker 1: two season he had six touchdowns and they lost. You
Speaker 1: have this guy in dynasty or a keeper league. God
Speaker 1: bless your soul. It's a pathetic, pathetic. I'm in a league.
Speaker 1: I'm two and nine with Mahome was my starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's like the most barrassing thing I've ever seen in
Speaker 1: my life. Patrick Mahomes, Antonio Brown and if you have
Speaker 1: something that might be able to top. That had an
Speaker 1: NFFC league where it was best ball, and I had
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and I finished ninth out of ten teams.
Speaker 1: That sucks, safe to say that was that was the
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan team. That was the Royce Freeman team. Not great, unbelievable, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about this game,
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooke, like, I was just thinking back. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I keep doing this, but I keep thinking,
Speaker 1: this is the first thing I've really ever done this.
Speaker 1: I keep thinking to next year about how early some
Speaker 1: of these people go, like Patrick Mahomes gonna be the
Speaker 1: first quarterback off the board, and rightfully so, um I
Speaker 1: go back and like Tyreek Hill, We're gonna really have
Speaker 1: this wide receiver one debate with Tyreek Hill again next year.
Speaker 1: That seems silly because he is Brandon like Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods like, he's not your prototypical wide receiver one,
Speaker 1: and that's what we knew about. I don't care, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's the wide receiver one right now. And
Speaker 1: for those people at home watching and listening are saying, well,
Speaker 1: they played one more game. He's twenty seven to more
Speaker 1: fantasy points to Michael Thomas. Now, Michael Thomas might be
Speaker 1: able to do that in a game, but I'll bet
Speaker 1: the under entire Kill is still your number receiver through
Speaker 1: eleven games. He's facing Atlanta possible. No, but like there
Speaker 1: you go, like, I don't want to do this again anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go game by game anymore with
Speaker 1: Tyree Kill. He's a widers ember one. Brandon Cooks and
Speaker 1: Robert Woods. Two guys you're gonna get a little bit later,
Speaker 1: Like I'm half next year in the third round, third
Speaker 1: three or four turn, two or three turn, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just draft Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks. Give me Girly
Speaker 1: Cooks and Robert Woods, and that's my team. There's a
Speaker 1: team in my lead the teams in the first place.
Speaker 1: That's the most points. He has Girly, Brandon Cooks and
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill at top radises are quarter try and get
Speaker 1: as as many players on the most potent offenses that
Speaker 1: you possibly could, and these are the two best, which
Speaker 1: is very obvious to say, yeah no, but look before
Speaker 1: the season, and you know this was it's obviously flawed
Speaker 1: logic at this point. I realized that, and I think
Speaker 1: it's it's fair to talk about we're trying to learn
Speaker 1: from our mistakes obviously too. Before the season, I wasn't
Speaker 1: that high on Jared Goff because I felt this defense
Speaker 1: was gonna be great, and I thought they'd be playing
Speaker 1: with a lot of leads, and I thought it would
Speaker 1: just be a lot of Todd Gurley. Now we have
Speaker 1: seen games where Todd Gurley takes over and it limits
Speaker 1: the upside of Jared Goff within those games. At least
Speaker 1: he's QB two. He's QB two right now, and he's
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. I know, you know, Glory likes to bass
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. He's a system quarterback. You know, there there's
Speaker 1: another quarterback that people assume is a system quarterback because
Speaker 1: he's played under one coach, he's played on the same
Speaker 1: team his whole career. Say what you want abou him,
Speaker 1: whether he's a system quarterback or not, a lot of
Speaker 1: people consider him the goat. That's Tom Brady. So whether
Speaker 1: or not you're a system quarterback or not, you still
Speaker 1: need to make the throws. I mean, you still need
Speaker 1: to complete thirty one of forty nine pass attempt with
Speaker 1: over four yards and four touchdowns. It's not just like
Speaker 1: a Sean McVeigh robot robot who's going out there and
Speaker 1: doing it for him, Like you still need to make plays.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff is making those plays. So I look, I
Speaker 1: was I think I had him as like my QB
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen in the in the pre draft season,
Speaker 1: and I was dead wrong on that, and I will gladly,
Speaker 1: gladly admitted, Yeah, it's crazy, man, This this these two
Speaker 1: teams are crazy that you're exciting with the The other
Speaker 1: most wild thing about this, Frank, besides Tyder Gurley getting
Speaker 1: ten points, it's the fact that if you started both defenses,
Speaker 1: you get like craft on the points. Did you though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fact that the Rams but like twenty fantasy points
Speaker 1: last night because I figured the fact that they gave
Speaker 1: up someone with so many points probably canceled out. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't because in mostlys, like once you put up
Speaker 1: more than like thirty five, like you can't get any worse.
Speaker 1: So you can get negatives. Yeah, but you get like
Speaker 1: negative four or something like that at thirty five. You
Speaker 1: don't get like negative you don't get like negative ten.
Speaker 1: You don't get like negative Tenant. He lit up fifty
Speaker 1: he's still at the same negative four you know, two
Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, three sacks, and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were the sixth best defense. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the most This is the most fantasy relevant game of
Speaker 1: all time, and that game ever arguably the best running
Speaker 1: back like that's probably gonna be like in this generation
Speaker 1: like this chantasy running back, the number one overall pick
Speaker 1: this year, the number one overall picked last year, last year,
Speaker 1: this year, next year or whatever. And in the game
Speaker 1: that at Franks said it. That just spawned fantasy points
Speaker 1: that everybody, no matter who you started, if you're dest
Speaker 1: for rams tight end, John Reynolds, Brandon Cooks, Robert Woods, Um,
Speaker 1: Chris Connolly, Travis Kelsey, Tyree Hill, kareem On, both quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: The only two players both defenses. The only two players
Speaker 1: in this entire game that let you down are Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley and Sammy Watkins. That is it. Yeah, and od Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Sammy Watkins thing was. I
Speaker 1: think they probably just did it as like a throw
Speaker 1: them off kind of like distraction. Like yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins only played five snaps in this game. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But Josh Reynolds, I think that's a nice takeaway too, right,
Speaker 1: Like he had he had eight targets in this game.
Speaker 1: He was third, he was he was behind Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods. It's what we expected. But still, if
Speaker 1: you started him six for eight and a touchdown, I
Speaker 1: think you feel pretty good about them going into the by. Yes, again,
Speaker 1: he's not Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup might have been the
Speaker 1: most dependable of these wide receivers when he was completely healthy.
Speaker 1: That was again before he injured his knee for the
Speaker 1: first time. He's not gonna get to that level. But
Speaker 1: can Josh Reynolds be a top thirty six wide receiver
Speaker 1: in this offense? He absolutely could. Yeah, absolutely, And we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the tight ends a little bit later
Speaker 1: on on this program and certainly on the Vanduel Hurry
Speaker 1: Up as well. But I think they're gonna be viable also,
Speaker 1: And I get it, like when everybody shows up, it's
Speaker 1: a lot more exciting, right, I completely understand that, and
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds takes that Cooper Cup role, But I think
Speaker 1: you're also gonna see increase with Tyler Higbee and Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett The problem is you're not gonna know which one
Speaker 1: is gonna get the increase because Tyler Higby was the
Speaker 1: one that was awesome last light. He had six catches,
Speaker 1: which is I leave at season high, get a season
Speaker 1: high and yards, I want to say, but there's Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett that caught the two touchdowns, including the game winner
Speaker 1: for the Los Angeles. So I don't really I have
Speaker 1: to look into this war, Frank, I don't know how
Speaker 1: they differentiate which tight ends on the field when I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really know, um, but because they played
Speaker 1: the Rams, they have value. Yeah, so I know coming
Speaker 1: into this game it's it's a completely frustrating situation coming
Speaker 1: in and it still is because, as you mentioned, Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee had the yards and the receptions, but Gerald Everett
Speaker 1: called the touchdowns, and coming into week Levin it was
Speaker 1: Tyler Higby is on the field more, but Gerald Everett
Speaker 1: runs more routes, so he's not on the field as often.
Speaker 1: He's probably not as good as a blocker as Tyler Higbee,
Speaker 1: but he's running more routes, so they look at him
Speaker 1: as the more competent pass catcher of the two. But
Speaker 1: you know, with Tyler Higbie, is on just being on
Speaker 1: the field with this offense as potent as it is,
Speaker 1: it's going to create opportunities for you. I will say,
Speaker 1: you know, if you've been structurally at the tight end
Speaker 1: position all year and in fact the Cooper Cup went down,
Speaker 1: and you know, given what they just did mon night
Speaker 1: football against the Chiefs, these two guys are on your radar.
Speaker 1: They are on buy in week twelve. But it is
Speaker 1: definitely going to be a frustrating situation. I don't know
Speaker 1: that you can pencil either one in as anything better
Speaker 1: than stream based on matchup a high end tight end too.
Speaker 1: Like they're not gonna be top twelve guys, Yeah, probably not,
Speaker 1: Probably not top twelve guy reliably. Um going forward? What
Speaker 1: is this dude to Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley's m
Speaker 1: v P race to put Drew Brees on the front
Speaker 1: because people were saying that last night. No, I think
Speaker 1: it's very close, and I don't knock people for putting
Speaker 1: Drew Brees in that conversation. I mean, the guys playing
Speaker 1: the best football of his career, arguably at you know,
Speaker 1: his age, the completion percentage, what he's doing, like getting
Speaker 1: everybody involved. We just saw tray Kuan Smith have a
Speaker 1: breakout game this week. So it doesn't matter who the
Speaker 1: name is on the back. He throws to any buddy
Speaker 1: throughout his career and he's been amazing and he's again
Speaker 1: arguably having the best season of his career now. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to We have a lot of games left.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to determine a lot of it.
Speaker 1: But uh, look, the Saints have now rattled off what
Speaker 1: nine in a row. They lost in Week one against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, So I think the fair question. I don't
Speaker 1: think as good as Todd Griley has been, I don't
Speaker 1: think that they will ever give it to a running back,
Speaker 1: like we're gonna really really need something spectacular, and the
Speaker 1: fact that he didn't score touch on in this game,
Speaker 1: we're probably not ended. We're not gonna get to that
Speaker 1: level of like Ladinian Thomason that we were hoping for,
Speaker 1: like the thirty one total touchdowns. I think that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen now. But yeah, I think it's it's probably
Speaker 1: between Drew Brees and Patrick Mons. Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 1: how it's not homes I really don't, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: know three interceptions doesn't look great, like he made some
Speaker 1: bone head passes down he did, and he's just trying
Speaker 1: to make something happen late in the game. Like it
Speaker 1: wasn't great decision making by any means, but there's thirty
Speaker 1: seconds left in the game. You just kind of like
Speaker 1: haul it up there and and and see what happens.
Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily blame him for it. And remember
Speaker 1: he's still through for over four five hundred yards nearly
Speaker 1: five hundred yard seventy six touchdowns, so he's still right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's They're both right there. Patrick Mahomes Andrew Brees, they
Speaker 1: love for Jerry Goff maybe in that race, I don't
Speaker 1: think I don't think he'll get any consideration, really, I
Speaker 1: mean I don't. Look, he's played phenomenal again, and you
Speaker 1: know he's he's the one. He's the one who's executing
Speaker 1: the Seaun McVeagh system, which is as amazing as it is, um.
Speaker 1: But I don't know that just the numbers overall that
Speaker 1: that Drew Brees, like Drew Brees and Patrick Mamomes are
Speaker 1: still like a step ahead of him in terms of
Speaker 1: numbers he's putting up. But Jared Goff has played phenomenally
Speaker 1: here and uh, it gives me hope. Gives me hope
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan. And Sam Donald that if the
Speaker 1: Jets can find the right offensive mind, maybe they can
Speaker 1: turn around and bringing Levy on balance happen. It's amazing
Speaker 1: how that happens. Of course, the rest of the show
Speaker 1: will will give you your waiver wire um Hey adds
Speaker 1: for this week, we'll do a lot and listen, we
Speaker 1: understand this playoff push. There's two more teams and buy
Speaker 1: of course the Chiefs and laz You have a lot
Speaker 1: of people you have to replace this week, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna do the best we can to try to help
Speaker 1: you do just that. From the next forty minutes of
Speaker 1: the program. Frankie, Yeah, and the question, I've already gotten
Speaker 1: a lot and that's why I made it. The The
Speaker 1: Twitter poll for today at Fantasy BFFs on Twitter is
Speaker 1: again Mahomes and Golf run By. So, which QB are
Speaker 1: you looking at to stream this week? Because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of names that are out there and you know
Speaker 1: people you might be interested. Jameis Winston, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins. I considered those four kind of like the
Speaker 1: top ones just based on matchup and if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna want to, Greg, but throw
Speaker 1: Eli Manning in the mix just because the Eagles secondary
Speaker 1: is as bad as the four guys you mentioned before. Eli,
Speaker 1: I think are in the top four the guys you
Speaker 1: had in the poll. I believe in the tough Eli
Speaker 1: and Nick Mullins back to back. In my rankings, I
Speaker 1: have Eli one spot higher than him, but I would
Speaker 1: say definitively Winston, Jackson and Baker. And again we don't
Speaker 1: know if Joe Flack was gonna return, because they've already
Speaker 1: mentioned there's a possibility he could. But if Lamar Jackson does,
Speaker 1: then those three I would say our ahead of Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: I agree to me. The Jamis Winston's the answer to
Speaker 1: that question. But you don't know if he's gonna pulled
Speaker 1: the halftime or Ryan Patrick. I know it's very high floor,
Speaker 1: but it's low ceiling. Is high ceiling floor? Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's the true Jamis Winston would be the guy I
Speaker 1: would go with. It's funny because the guy that is
Speaker 1: in second place in my home league right now, he's
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes, and he picked up Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: a week or two ago preparing for this bye week
Speaker 1: facing San Francisco. Now Jamis Winston's out the right idea,
Speaker 1: They totally Jamis Winston's out there, and I want to
Speaker 1: be like to his opponent, like you should go bid
Speaker 1: on Jammeis Winston because this is clearly what his plan is.
Speaker 1: Is that legal? How is that an etiquette? That's too snaky?
Speaker 1: That's definitely snaky. Um, but it's something I would condone do.
Speaker 1: I think his king his brother Actually last week was
Speaker 1: was facing someone who had a quarterback on a bye
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago rather um, and he picked up
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick even though he has your bree is just
Speaker 1: to block the opponent from getting him. And apparently the
Speaker 1: guy freaked out on him, like out fine, I told
Speaker 1: him to deal. I was like, yeah, why not, sneaky snake.
Speaker 1: It's just so obvious. I haven't actually looked in my
Speaker 1: league what quarterbacks are available, Like James Winston's got to be.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's probably out there too, Yeah, Lamar Jackson, James
Speaker 1: Winson only owned in of league. Jameis Winston. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: both those guys are out there, so I'll get somebody,
Speaker 1: So whatever, I'm not gonna get him. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: get involved. I'm just not getting get him off with this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: James Winston, Lamar Jackson, Nick Bolin's that's that San Francisco's
Speaker 1: Sama Bay matches. Do you have it over under on
Speaker 1: that yet? I'm sure we Doan Francisco Tampa Bay fifty five?
Speaker 1: It's no free. Tampa Bay total has consistently been over fifth.
Speaker 1: Last night was the easiest. Why don't we Why don't
Speaker 1: we put our money on that last night? I liked
Speaker 1: the over when it was put all our money on that.
Speaker 1: Like everything we have everything, we have bucks and giants.
Speaker 1: Actually like the underlives. Don't play it under against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: We'll take it ready. Here, we get you the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the running backs and wide receivers you
Speaker 1: need to pick up. We'll tell you how much the drop.
Speaker 1: We know how important he is to you make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Get that push, Frank and I will help you do
Speaker 1: that when we come back next. The Fantasy Best Friends

Speaker 1: The promo code is t G eight team. Let's get
Speaker 1: into the way every wire, Frank, I want to start
Speaker 1: with the running backs. US Edwards is owned in zero
Speaker 1: percent of leaks. There's not a single person that I
Speaker 1: know that owns Gus Edwards. Well, I did get a
Speaker 1: text message from my cousin who said, oh damn, this
Speaker 1: is on Sunday afternoon. I just dropped Gus Edwards, who
Speaker 1: was my buddy's a big cousin, is a big Rutgers fan.
Speaker 1: So because I just dropped Gust Edwards in my Dynasty
Speaker 1: League this week, that is a terrible feeling. And this Sunday,
Speaker 1: how this is literally Sunday at three thirty. How much
Speaker 1: do I spend to pick him up? Like, dude, you
Speaker 1: asking me this on Sunday And he's like, yes, that
Speaker 1: terrible feeling in Dynasty too, because it wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: one bit. We've seen this how many years in a
Speaker 1: row now where a Raven's running back emerges in the
Speaker 1: second half and that guy performs like legit RB two
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Now, I'm not saying that's
Speaker 1: definitely going to happen with Gus Edwards, but we've seen
Speaker 1: it happen a while now. Alex Collins did it last year.
Speaker 1: Who was who was the other journeyman running Bamath that
Speaker 1: they had a couple of years ago. Justin cour St
Speaker 1: Justustin for set another perfect example. Second half of the
Speaker 1: season was phenomenal. The next year, everyone drafting in the
Speaker 1: third or fourth round let us down. So basically, don't
Speaker 1: draft Gus Edward next year. Don't draft Alex Collins next
Speaker 1: year unless we get a new coaching regime in for
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. But this has happened far too often.
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, if if Josh Adams is not available in
Speaker 1: your league, because I would still want would rather have
Speaker 1: Josh Adam. I'm just talking in terms of like racking
Speaker 1: the running backs. If Josh Adams is not available in
Speaker 1: your league, Gus Edwards is the next running back up.
Speaker 1: Again Alex Collins has not run how coming. It's really
Speaker 1: interesting because you've been off the Eagles ever since I've
Speaker 1: known you. When it comes to the backfield. You didn't
Speaker 1: want him last year, you don't want him this year.
Speaker 1: Why is Josh Adams, see who is owned six percent
Speaker 1: of leads right now according to CBS Sports, Why Josh
Speaker 1: Adams over Gus Edwards Because you love the Ravens backfield,
Speaker 1: the big Alex Collins guy. You talked it out last week.
Speaker 1: You had the situation right, just the guy wrong. Why
Speaker 1: Josh Adams over Gus Edwards. It has to do a
Speaker 1: lot with the matchup, and I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people are win now mode I need to win. I
Speaker 1: really really like the Eagles matchup for against the Giants,
Speaker 1: and I know the Ravens are facing the Raiders this
Speaker 1: week as well, so that is a good match up
Speaker 1: on paper. But we know a little bit more about
Speaker 1: who the who the Eagles are gonna use. And I
Speaker 1: never thought I would get to this point because Greg
Speaker 1: has referenced and I'm not big on Doug Peterson because
Speaker 1: he likes to run out running back by committee. He
Speaker 1: runs out a trio of running backs. But based on
Speaker 1: the usage that we saw last week, I had to
Speaker 1: at least somewhat trust the eye test what he showed
Speaker 1: us and the fact that Josh Adams was in on
Speaker 1: you know, fifty percent of the snaps, which was you know, um,
Speaker 1: it was higher than normal for a lead running back
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. So he said something. He said
Speaker 1: he was going to get Josh Adams more involved. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what he did. Uh. Josh Adams scored a long
Speaker 1: touchdown against the New Orleans Saints, who are very potent defense.
Speaker 1: He was actually used more in the past game as well,
Speaker 1: So I'm buying into Josh Adams at least for this week.
Speaker 1: Greg against the New York Giants, who just allowed one
Speaker 1: yards rushing to Peyton Barber. They've kind of they've slapped
Speaker 1: off in the in the run defense department once Snax
Speaker 1: Harrison has left the team. So all those things, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like every thing is is trending in the
Speaker 1: right direction for Josh Adams right now. And I don't
Speaker 1: want to pooh poo Gus Edwards. I know everyone's still
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who the hell is This guy
Speaker 1: played four years at Rutgers and he played another year
Speaker 1: at Miami and he was great this past week. But
Speaker 1: hen we trusted again. What I said yesterday about the
Speaker 1: Ravens running backs is maybe Gus Edwards gets the first
Speaker 1: series if he's not performing well. Alex Collins gets a
Speaker 1: second series. If he does perform well, then maybe it's
Speaker 1: an Alex Collins game. It's a very fluid situation which
Speaker 1: is going to is going to evolve within the game
Speaker 1: based on who's performing well. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: volatility with that situation, I just trust Josh Josh Adams
Speaker 1: more this week, given the matchup and the fact that
Speaker 1: I do expect him to be the lead running back
Speaker 1: at least for one more week. Both matchups are good.
Speaker 1: Josh Adams against Josh Adams against the Giants, and certainly
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards against the Raiders. You like both of them,
Speaker 1: and uh, I've been the Josh Adams guy. I've been
Speaker 1: trying to tell you to pick him up for a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks now, so so I like him and
Speaker 1: I probably agree that I go with Josh Adams over
Speaker 1: Edwards because it went surprised me if all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Alice Collins is the guy again. Josh Adams. Every time
Speaker 1: he's got an opportunity, he's just been better. He've been
Speaker 1: better than coracle Man, He's been better than Wendell Smallwood
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson promised to give us more Josh Adams
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what he did. Let me throw this
Speaker 1: out there at your Frank, if both of guys are
Speaker 1: out there, how much are you bidding on him again?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure how much fab people
Speaker 1: have left at this point. That's why I don't. You
Speaker 1: don't give me a number. I'm just saying I'd like
Speaker 1: to rank the running backs at this point because look,
Speaker 1: if you really really need a running back, you're probably
Speaker 1: blowing the rest of your fab on one of these
Speaker 1: guys this week. So if I had to rank him,
Speaker 1: it would be Josh Adams number one, and then I
Speaker 1: would put Gus Edwards second. And and like what we
Speaker 1: said about the Ravens running backs, like, there is definitely
Speaker 1: a chance that Gus Edwards is just the guy for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. John Harba came out after
Speaker 1: the game and said, all right, this is the running
Speaker 1: back that they've been looking for. They've been looking for
Speaker 1: a north south runner, a strong runner. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what he did. Exactly what he delivered again a hundred
Speaker 1: yards rushing and a touchdown. So there's a chance I
Speaker 1: would say, you know, he might have a higher ceiling
Speaker 1: than Josh Adams the rest of the way. But given
Speaker 1: that volatility, and you know that the Ravens coaching staff
Speaker 1: you don't know who they're necessarily going to use, his
Speaker 1: floor is also lower than what I think we expect
Speaker 1: at Josh Adams. I just expect a little bit more safety,
Speaker 1: which I never thought I would get to with the
Speaker 1: Eagles running backs. But even what we saw last week
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson delivering on his promise, I do trust
Speaker 1: him more than I do Gus Edwards. Is it possible
Speaker 1: if Joe Flaccer comes back, this role for Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: is diminished. Maybe there's something to working with Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: that backfield. Is that possibility. It's definitely a possibility because
Speaker 1: Alex Collins has been their majority of the season with
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and he hasn't run very efficiently. He's had
Speaker 1: a few games where he's run well, but for the
Speaker 1: most part, we've known that when Lamar Jackson is on
Speaker 1: the field, this team has run better with the football. Obviously,
Speaker 1: that takes into account what Lamar Jackson does running the football,
Speaker 1: but this has been with any football team in the history,
Speaker 1: Like when you have Michael Vick on the field or
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. That helps the running backs because defenses have
Speaker 1: to account more so for a running quarterback running the
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield and and ultimately that opens
Speaker 1: up more running lanes for the running back. So that's
Speaker 1: a good point. If Joe Flacco does play it might
Speaker 1: limit the upside. Maybe we don't see. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just so hard to say. What do you expect
Speaker 1: from Gus Edwards moving forward? Like this is probably gonna
Speaker 1: be his best game of the season. Can we say
Speaker 1: that definitively No, but it's more than likely not. Gus
Speaker 1: Edward was prior to this game. In his debut against Tennessee,
Speaker 1: he had ten carries. This is a blowout. Baltimore beat
Speaker 1: Tennessee's twenty one nothing back in Week six. Since that moment,
Speaker 1: of course, Joe Flacco being the starting quarterback two carries
Speaker 1: against New Orleans, two carries against Carolina, one carry against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Now the seventeen carriers came out of the by so
Speaker 1: maybe it's possible. Jaron Harba John Harbaugh reevaluated his team
Speaker 1: is like, listen, I want to get this guy more involved.
Speaker 1: He is. He's more talented than we're given him credit for.
Speaker 1: We have to get him the ball. That's possible. And
Speaker 1: the schedule, and Frank's talked about it a lot. The
Speaker 1: schedule really lines up very very nicely for Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: with Oakland, Atlanta, UH Casey, Tampa Bay and then the
Speaker 1: Chargers in week sixteen. It lines up very very well.
Speaker 1: You could be a league winner. He definitely could be
Speaker 1: a league winner. I'll do, I'll be I'll be very
Speaker 1: matter of fact about it and hopefully knowing my league's listening.
Speaker 1: I have thirty four dollars left. How much have I
Speaker 1: been on them? All of it? Every time? Were your
Speaker 1: current running mix? Is Josh Adams available? He's on my
Speaker 1: team already my other running backs sakewon Barkley. So Josh
Speaker 1: Adams is your r B two and Kenny and Drake
Speaker 1: is my RB three. For the sake of the Florio
Speaker 1: situation last week, I'm going to tell you to bid
Speaker 1: um dollars on Gus Edwards this week, twenty seven dollars
Speaker 1: it is, and and hear the call part, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: fair enough, all right? And it's interesting because I was
Speaker 1: looking at some of the other players that are available
Speaker 1: this week outside of Josh Adams Um and Gosh Edwards
Speaker 1: to the running back it's not really much that I want,
Speaker 1: Like I have Rex burkehead already in my ir. We've
Speaker 1: talked about that the last couple of weeks. Then you
Speaker 1: get some of the passing down bash, but in particular
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire, uh and THEO Rittic both are pretty widely available.
Speaker 1: I want to start with Riddy because I actually like
Speaker 1: Rick more than like McGuire. But I've read the stats.
Speaker 1: How listen theory hasn't scored like years at this point,
Speaker 1: and the reason you like Riddick is just carry on.
Speaker 1: Johnson's out for the next couple of weeks, certainly out
Speaker 1: this week on Thanksgiving me which means it's all about
Speaker 1: the Garrett Blunt. That's all about theoretic. I expect the
Speaker 1: lines to be down against the bruising embarrass defense, which
Speaker 1: means a lot of dump bumps the theoretic. That's why
Speaker 1: I think he's an option. If you're desperate running back,
Speaker 1: you lost Ted Gurley, lost Cream Hunt, you have nobody
Speaker 1: to pick up. I prefer THEO this week till Garrett
Speaker 1: Blunt and Elijah McGuire. Yeah, I think that's fair. I
Speaker 1: think that's fair to say. I also throw a Jennal
Speaker 1: Richard if he's still floating out there. He saw more
Speaker 1: carries this week than he normally does because Uh, Doug
Speaker 1: Martin was dealing with some kind of phantom ankle injury
Speaker 1: in the second half, which was annoying for me because
Speaker 1: Doug Martin has done nothing but do his job and
Speaker 1: he's running effectively, which crazy, Like I'm complaining here about
Speaker 1: Doug Martin on the Raiders like this shouldn't be a thing.
Speaker 1: But I started him last week in the flex and
Speaker 1: uh DeAndre Washington was getting goal line opportunities and he
Speaker 1: did not run well. It just seemed like John Gruden
Speaker 1: was doing that thing where he benches his best players.
Speaker 1: But Janaln Chards saw Levin Carreys last week for sixty
Speaker 1: one yards and then he also added his normal four
Speaker 1: targets three year septions thirty two yards. So if Janalen
Speaker 1: Rechards sus to be used more in the ground game
Speaker 1: in addition to what he's been doing as a pass catchers,
Speaker 1: than Janaln Rechard is also. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: why he would be available. We've been talking him up
Speaker 1: since Marshawn Lynch went down. But if for some reason,
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard is out there, he's another guy I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: I know John Gruden compared him to some Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Bucks I'm assuming running back from the nineties, some guy
Speaker 1: who caught rush for a thousand and ran for It
Speaker 1: was like Michael Pittman, who was it wasn't Thomas Jones
Speaker 1: rush rush for a thousand and ran rush for a
Speaker 1: thousand and and received a thousand Thomas Jones. No, it
Speaker 1: wasn't work done. No, it was like a not no. Okay,
Speaker 1: um amo Zoe, I can't find it. I'll find it
Speaker 1: for you, Okay. I like Jayalen Richard though, and I'm
Speaker 1: with you on THEO Riddic. The Lions are four point
Speaker 1: home dogs on Thanksgiving. I know it's a bad matchup
Speaker 1: against Chicago, but I think we see some kind of
Speaker 1: classic Lions here where they're not gonna have a run
Speaker 1: game to speak of. I think we actually see more
Speaker 1: Zack Zenter running the football of than we do. Let
Speaker 1: agree with you. Yeah, and they've already kind of spoke
Speaker 1: about that they're gonna try and get Zack Center involved.
Speaker 1: I believe Legarrett Blunt has uh something like twenty one
Speaker 1: rushing yards on his last sixteen rushing attempts, so he's
Speaker 1: been god awful. But I think they used THEO rick
Speaker 1: as an extension of the run game in this one.
Speaker 1: I just give him a lot of short passes. He's
Speaker 1: already kind of provided as say flour for PPR in
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks and he's been on the field.
Speaker 1: I think we see a more classic Detroit Lions offensive
Speaker 1: attack in this game, where they really do have to
Speaker 1: pass the ball more than usual because even when Zack center,
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to run the football
Speaker 1: against So I again, you ranked it. You don't want
Speaker 1: to necessarily give up how much Josh Adams, Gus Edwards theoretic?
Speaker 1: What are the other names you mentioned? Listen, if you
Speaker 1: do have fab let, if you have thirty dollars of
Speaker 1: you have twenty dollars of how much of that do
Speaker 1: you put up theoretic? How important is it to grab him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So if you have twenty or thirty dollars and you're
Speaker 1: picking up theoretic, I'm assuming it's because you don't have
Speaker 1: girl or you don't have Koreem Hans, right, Like theoretics
Speaker 1: not the winner. Yeah, Like, realistically, you're picking up theoretic
Speaker 1: because of like the final bybeek here in week twelve.
Speaker 1: You're not picking him up just because they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm intrigued by theoretic. You want them for
Speaker 1: this week because Harry on, Johnson is gonna be out
Speaker 1: and carry on. Johnson could miss more time. So, but
Speaker 1: he's in that jail. And Richard mold Like he doesn't
Speaker 1: have immense upside, but he's gonna give you a safe
Speaker 1: floor for PPR. So if you have twenty bucks, I'll
Speaker 1: spend maybe about half of it, eleven twelve dollars if
Speaker 1: you have if you have thirty, you know, maybe fifteen
Speaker 1: sixteen something like that. Okay, you mention neo. Elijah McGuire,
Speaker 1: we mentioned the Garret Blood. I don' want like Garret Blood.
Speaker 1: I'll throw a dollar, a couple of dollars on Zack
Speaker 1: Center if I'm that desperate. And you get to Elijah McGuire,
Speaker 1: who had the week off of the by only seeing
Speaker 1: increased Jets heavy underdogs against New England this week, which
Speaker 1: should be good for the passing down back. McGuire. The
Speaker 1: player was Charlie Garner. Greg Charlie Garner, former Raiders running back.
Speaker 1: While you you screwed me out because you said bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said Raiders. I might have gotten Charlie Garner. OK.
Speaker 1: Let's see what Charlie Garner didn't. He was good. Charlie
Speaker 1: Garner was before me. It was before your football watching time,
Speaker 1: not like before you were born time, but the Garners
Speaker 1: before your football watching time. So it's interesting that they
Speaker 1: referred to him as having Charlie Garner type upside, which
Speaker 1: is a one thousand yard rushier and one thousand yard receiver.
Speaker 1: Never did that in a season. Yeah, I had nine
Speaker 1: hundred sixty two rushing yards and one receiving yards. That's
Speaker 1: what he was referring to. Ninety one receptions PPR year
Speaker 1: out of that, that's what he's referring to. He did
Speaker 1: bring it into Tampa Bay after that, but it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: It is, so that was that's who they were referring
Speaker 1: to with the jail in. Yeah, okay, jailer shard talented
Speaker 1: guy actually started to reflex. Jakes just texted me about FLEX.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize like how badly I checked it On Sunday.
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to stop looking at it.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of points against Jake in Flex
Speaker 1: and PBR. How much did you put up one six? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's got to be among the highest year. We're tied
Speaker 1: at seven in four. Man. You and I lets BFFs
Speaker 1: holding it down in the Flex League. Man Fantasy League
Speaker 1: of Experts. I guess we're I guess we're finally experts.
Speaker 1: We did it. We did it, Yeah, very well in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy League of Experts. I'm actually the defending champion.
Speaker 1: You are indeed, Um, you know my my second RB
Speaker 1: spot's been an issue all year and the reason I
Speaker 1: bring this up is because my second RV is jailing Shards.
Speaker 1: He not a PBR league. Well, I know you had
Speaker 1: Marshall Lynch, so yeah, you picked up for shard it.
Speaker 1: Did you know quasi Marshall Lench? You know who I'll
Speaker 1: be picking up this week's Edwards? How much fab do
Speaker 1: you have? Probably more than me. Probably use your fab
Speaker 1: a lot, still haven't. I don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: josh Ads. This thing is not Adam. I'm excited you're
Speaker 1: gonna pick up both of them. Anyway, he's not a
Speaker 1: it's not available, So Gus Edwards, I have fifty hours
Speaker 1: left my fab blow it all boat and Gus Gus
Speaker 1: bus No, that's that's from No. Come on, Greg. Actually
Speaker 1: like the movie Somebody Music quotes man and someone used
Speaker 1: it on Twitter reference. This is a movie I've watched
Speaker 1: more than anyone should watch this. It's a stupid comedy
Speaker 1: that helps narrow it down. Boy, No, it's pretty close though,
Speaker 1: us us dun dumber what don dummer? Pretty close to
Speaker 1: Let me know when you give up give up bench warmers?
Speaker 1: Never seen mench warmers? What? We got some work to do, Greg,
Speaker 1: I don't want to start on movies, Frank, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of movies I haven't seen. But
Speaker 1: bench Warmers, come on. I don't even know. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what it's about or who's in it. Bench
Speaker 1: Warmers about a team of like misfit baseball players. It's baseball.
Speaker 1: I wou guess football has Rob Schneider, Rub Schneider has
Speaker 1: Rob Snyder, Nick Schwartzon has the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 1: Do you know it's dumb, but it's like funny, Dug
Speaker 1: John Hater. It's a great movie. That's that's great, all right?
Speaker 1: Give you the running backs, wide receivers. The wide receivers
Speaker 1: are the tight ends to pick up that covers your way. Next,
Speaker 1: it's much smaller. Groups will break it down the best
Speaker 1: we can. Fantasy best friends Forever, Frank Snapple, Greg, we

Speaker 1: your program that's your programming guy, profession of the day.
Speaker 1: All times are Eastern and we go until PM. We
Speaker 1: got Greg. It was a schedule. I wasn't letting you
Speaker 1: do it anymore. No, I was asking me what he got.
Speaker 1: Like after that, Wow, what's up next? The number one
Speaker 1: college BASKETBA player in the country just coming into Memphis. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it looks like Memphis. Penny Hardaway doing a fantastic
Speaker 1: job at the University of Memphis. He's just got like
Speaker 1: three top tender cruits. After nobody hears to Memphis. Was
Speaker 1: he the head coach? So they used to have team
Speaker 1: that they'll have since Derrick Rose, right, Yes, so they
Speaker 1: head Jelly Calip, Harry Right and Derrick Rose and all
Speaker 1: what they did in Memphis. Then they run in. They
Speaker 1: brought back Josh Pastner, who was like fine. It was
Speaker 1: like a kind of like a fine coach, and they
Speaker 1: were always like a okay team essentially, and then they've
Speaker 1: run Tubby Smith, which is like a disaster. Likes it.
Speaker 1: He's not that fat. What's so Tubby Smith is my
Speaker 1: name was Tubby Smith. I would I would eat more
Speaker 1: twenty piece chicken nuggets. So Tubby Smith is he former
Speaker 1: like Kentucky coach before um, he's a Kentucky coach after
Speaker 1: Rick Patino was a Kentucky coach and all won a
Speaker 1: national championship there and then like that fire, he went
Speaker 1: to Minnesota that was a disaster, went to like Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: I want to say, Now he's at Memphis and now
Speaker 1: he went to Memphis and he just like totally disregarded
Speaker 1: like the entire Memphis culture and didn't play the game.
Speaker 1: And Thenny Hardway was like the head of the lead
Speaker 1: a team in Memphis, and he went to Memphis and
Speaker 1: he was a huge superstar at Memphis, and how he's
Speaker 1: been like disregarded all of that and then he got
Speaker 1: fired and they just said, Penny you can coach the team. Now.
Speaker 1: Penny's got like all the best players Memphis. Do you
Speaker 1: know so much about like random stuff? I don't know
Speaker 1: how you retain all this information. Well, you retained a
Speaker 1: lot of it, but I don't know, like I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to like right now, just trying to retain
Speaker 1: information for the NFL and the NBA is like a
Speaker 1: daunting task, right. I don't know how you find the
Speaker 1: time to like fit in college basketball and you still
Speaker 1: kind of mingle with like college football. I know you
Speaker 1: watched like the terms sometimes and stuff. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like I don't know. I think the thing is, I
Speaker 1: don't get near these details in view. You get very
Speaker 1: obsessed a good way with the details, and I'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds good. That's usually my okay, So let's get
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers this week. Problem is there there
Speaker 1: aren't many. The guys were a bunch, but we've talked
Speaker 1: about them a lot, exactly because still not owning enough percentage,
Speaker 1: which is weird. The guys that we're gonna mention we
Speaker 1: mentioned really every week. And as as I was putting
Speaker 1: together the hurry of Rundown, I know you were doing this.
Speaker 1: And so he's good with the players that we have
Speaker 1: match because that means we're we're talking about the right players.
Speaker 1: But I was shocked to see the key QCs only
Speaker 1: owning thirty three percent of leagues. It made no sense.
Speaker 1: I was shocked to see d J. Moore slightly under
Speaker 1: fifty of leagues. I was stunned to see Anthony Miller
Speaker 1: slightly over fifty percent of leagues. It didn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me. Like the fact that Trey Kawon Smith is
Speaker 1: over his own more than Kiki and d J Moore
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller shocked me, really didn't. That's just that's people
Speaker 1: buying into the Saints offense right and and Drew Brees
Speaker 1: and rightfully so um and I'm not surprised by that
Speaker 1: because I mean, and even Tray Kwon Smith's ownership percentage
Speaker 1: should jump this week, but it's not surprising. I saw
Speaker 1: last week. The reason I wrote about Kiki in the
Speaker 1: Best Fantasy five, the five players that I'm higher on
Speaker 1: than the consensus, was he was owning less than thirty
Speaker 1: percent of leagues. And like, guys, don't forget what Kiki
Speaker 1: did when he was healthy with Shawn Watson in the
Speaker 1: two games where he was really healthy and thriving, fifteen
Speaker 1: targets against the Colts, and then he had seven targets
Speaker 1: the next week against the Cowboys, and he holds in
Speaker 1: a touchdown that week as well. And what did he
Speaker 1: do this week? All he did was lead the team
Speaker 1: and targets on a a team that has DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: as their wide receiver. One led the team in receiving
Speaker 1: yards as well, so I had the same amount of
Speaker 1: receptions as DeAndre Hopkins. Deshaun Watson likes this guy, and
Speaker 1: and he should after tomorrow, after tonight and after tomorrow,
Speaker 1: because I know some people's waivers run now Wednesday into Thursday.
Speaker 1: By Thanksgiving. Heke q ts ownership percentage should be over
Speaker 1: at the lowest. I agree with this, mad This made
Speaker 1: sense to me, Um, But all these guys are all
Speaker 1: very similar. I think they all have the ability to
Speaker 1: be UH high end wide receiver. Threes in all honesty,
Speaker 1: DJ More, Anthony Miller, well going, John, that's where he's
Speaker 1: coming next. Uh? DIDG Moore Anthony Miller? J Moore, did
Speaker 1: you agree with him getting drafted in the first round?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think I don't like wish you
Speaker 1: washing like, No, he's not really a first round wide receiver. Yea.
Speaker 1: I thought he was a high and wider second round
Speaker 1: widter sper like. I thought Calvin Ridley should have went
Speaker 1: ahead of him, So I was very surprised when he didn't.
Speaker 1: Um More, Anthony Miller, track, and you got to Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds in there as well. I think this is a
Speaker 1: good crew of guys. I would love to know how
Speaker 1: you rank it, Frank, Yeah, so I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's a good question. Um So I'll start with
Speaker 1: I think number one on this list. For me, it's
Speaker 1: actually it's it's gonna be your guy. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: d J. Moore. I put d J. Moore first on
Speaker 1: this list. It's forty forty nine percent owned flashed his
Speaker 1: upside of what he can be when he's targeted heavily.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this yesterday. Devin Funtis is an unrestricted
Speaker 1: free agent this year for the Carolina Panthers. Now Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel is coming on a little bit. They invested a
Speaker 1: draft pick in him one year ago. Uh and and
Speaker 1: the obviously they used the first round pick on d J. Moore.
Speaker 1: So I think we're starting to see the change of
Speaker 1: guard here at the wide receiver position for the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: And d J. Moore was tied for the team lead
Speaker 1: with eight targets over a hundred and fifty yards. He's
Speaker 1: a nightmare after the catch. I mean, this guy is
Speaker 1: a yack monster. He's extremely explosive. Called a touchdown in
Speaker 1: this game, called a touchdown on Darius Slay, one of
Speaker 1: the better cover corners in the NFL. So I think
Speaker 1: it's very close when we're talking about we're splitting hairs
Speaker 1: here between which wide receivers we want. But I think
Speaker 1: d J. Moore is a guy who can have a
Speaker 1: consistent role with the Carolina Panthers for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. I know Cam Newton spreads the ball around,
Speaker 1: but he's he's starting to he's starting to develop that
Speaker 1: rapport with d J. Moore, and obviously the draft pedigree
Speaker 1: is there with him. Next up, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: I know he's on by, but I'm gonna take Josh Reynolds. Man.
Speaker 1: I was. I was intrigued by what I saw in
Speaker 1: this performance. He was targeted eight times. Yes it was
Speaker 1: behind Brandon Cooks, and yes it was behind Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: but still had eighty receiving yards, had a touchdown. There
Speaker 1: was a point in this game where whether it's in
Speaker 1: the third or fourth quarter, I tweeted out last night,
Speaker 1: he was leading the team in targets, receiving yards, and receptions.
Speaker 1: And then obviously Brandon Cooks and Robert Woods had strong
Speaker 1: fourth quarters. But he was used heavily in this game.
Speaker 1: And it's a very very potent offense. So he's again
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do with Cooper Cup did exactly. But
Speaker 1: I mentioned that he can be a top thirty six
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He can be a wide receiver three in
Speaker 1: this offense. I do believe that. So I'll rank Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds uh number two on this list. It's close, man,
Speaker 1: It's it's close between Tray, Kwan Smith, and Kiki because
Speaker 1: I think Tray Kwan on any given week has higher
Speaker 1: upside than Kiki QT. But I'll take Keiki just because
Speaker 1: of what I think he's gonna provide floor wise every
Speaker 1: single week. Think he's gonna be involved, especially for PPR.
Speaker 1: He's in the wide receiver three conversation to Marius Thomas,
Speaker 1: put this guy in the back of a milk carton.
Speaker 1: He was nowhere to be found in this game. Wasn't
Speaker 1: even targeted a single time. And I just read to
Speaker 1: you what Kiki QT did this past week in terms
Speaker 1: of his usage. Next up, I'll have Trey Kwan Smith
Speaker 1: just for those games where he still plays at home
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans. I know they have a game
Speaker 1: in Dallas, so that's a game inside of a dome
Speaker 1: as well, where he might be able to do work
Speaker 1: in that matchup. But the reason why I ranked Trey
Speaker 1: Kwan Smith behind all these guys, and again, I know
Speaker 1: he has a big upside. We saw what he can
Speaker 1: do this past week, but he's only had these big
Speaker 1: performances when he's home inside of domes. So what happens
Speaker 1: in the games where he's still at doors, he's still
Speaker 1: gonna be very boom or bust for me. So I
Speaker 1: just think that these other guys have a safer floor.
Speaker 1: You can count them more week in week out. Um,
Speaker 1: this is me splitting hairs once again. So tray Juan
Speaker 1: Smith fourth. I'll put Anthony Miller fifth. I like Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller a lot. Again. I talked about him last week,
Speaker 1: Greg and I was excited about him. He scored another touchdown.
Speaker 1: He's an absolute gamer. He's a good route runner, strong hands,
Speaker 1: and again the Bears traded up to get him, so
Speaker 1: obviously they're going to use him. But I just think
Speaker 1: that there's more volume with some of these other offenses.
Speaker 1: The Bears don't throw all that much. We saw Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel get involved again this week. Allen Robinson is there,
Speaker 1: Toreko when is there? So there's a lot of mouths
Speaker 1: to feed. I like Anthony Miller a lot. I think
Speaker 1: he deserves to be in this conversation. It's really those
Speaker 1: five guys, and then much lower down the list is
Speaker 1: Bruce Ellington. If you're just really desperate when you're suffering
Speaker 1: from the Marvin Jones injury, he was targeted nine times.
Speaker 1: He had six receptions for fifty two yards, So this
Speaker 1: is a desperation call. He's much lower than these others.
Speaker 1: But this group of five wide receivers is really really
Speaker 1: bunched up and it's hard to split hairs. But I'll
Speaker 1: rank dj more number one. Greg. Yeah, so for me,
Speaker 1: And it was a really good breakdown all of that,
Speaker 1: Frank and I understand it. For me, I'm probably gonna
Speaker 1: go in a bit of a different direction. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with. I've listened to shows where they
Speaker 1: ranked tra kuon Smith number one, and I understand it
Speaker 1: because it's the Saints offense. We just saw what his
Speaker 1: upside was. Thirteen targets, ten receptions. It's hard to argue that.
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna be a little bit boom
Speaker 1: or bust depending on where he's playing that week. For me,
Speaker 1: i'm gonna have out of these five guys, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have Anthony Miller ranked last. I would think, Um, I
Speaker 1: think that the upside is just capped, like like he's
Speaker 1: not getting these huge yards chunks. He's scoring touchdowns three
Speaker 1: of his last five games, but you're not gonna see
Speaker 1: like a ten for a hundred games Randony million, like that,
Speaker 1: that's not possible. So he's gonna be five for me.
Speaker 1: Four's gonna trade Kulan Smith. He's amazing at home, you
Speaker 1: want to use in whatever he's home. But on the
Speaker 1: road it's a little bit of a different story. It's
Speaker 1: not necessarily the track me and I think there's just
Speaker 1: a little bit of bus potential here compared to some
Speaker 1: of the other three guys. So, um, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: ant tray Kuon Smith ranked four at number three. For me,
Speaker 1: as I continue to go backwards, these are much closer.
Speaker 1: Like I think these three are closer than the other two,
Speaker 1: at least for me, I have them four or five
Speaker 1: pretty pretty easily. Um for me at number three, I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna go with DJ Moore at three. Oddly enough,
Speaker 1: I know who's your number one guy, but I think
Speaker 1: at um, I think at number three, I have DJ
Speaker 1: Moore only because Greg Olsen's presidence is there. CJ. Mccafy, Um,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is the number one option no matter what
Speaker 1: in that offense. After Christian McCaffrey, you have Greg Olsen,
Speaker 1: you have Devn Funches, and maybe d J Moore is
Speaker 1: the number one option. Now, maybe maybe that's the truth,
Speaker 1: and maybe we're right, And we talked about that yesterday,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be number three for me. At number two,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Josh Reynolds because Josh Reynolds is the
Speaker 1: third option in the officense, but it's the best offense
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We saw what he could do last night,
Speaker 1: and if he's using like Cooper cup role, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a league winner. And I'm gonna be very depressed.
Speaker 1: And I admit everything I have for Josh Reynolds a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, which leaves a number one for me.
Speaker 1: My guy, k qt e key, do you love me?
Speaker 1: I did? How much I love Kiki Man. I think
Speaker 1: he's just the ever reliable slot receiver for the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans to Marius Thomas has proven to be an absolute
Speaker 1: nothing slot Yeah, I was good. He's going to be
Speaker 1: an absolutely nothing in this offense thus far. And you know,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is the alpha male for sure. But it's
Speaker 1: just slot thoughts, spot Stot. It's not stot slot everybody, nice, nice,
Speaker 1: Greggy the year of the slot. We're coming up with
Speaker 1: songs on the fight here. I will mention Greg d. J.
Speaker 1: Moore's upcoming schedule Seattle this week, Tampa Bay the best,
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points. Cleveland the tenth most fantasy points
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, New Orleans the most, Atlanta the fourth most.
Speaker 1: Week seventeen is the Saints again an upcoming schedule really good, beautiful,
Speaker 1: fair enough. The wide start was very close. Take your
Speaker 1: pick to make sure you get one of them. All right,
Speaker 1: all of them. We're gonna sign. We're gonna signed off YouTube.
Speaker 1: Now come up next, Fantasy Football Frenzy, The Corey, Jim
Speaker 1: and the Closer Chris vent Shra. If you're listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast, subscribe like rate us five stars and leave
Speaker 1: a comment you're listening a lot on the radio. Will
Speaker 1: go another five minutes or so. Frank, I do want
Speaker 1: to get to the tight ends before we get to
Speaker 1: the streaming defenses. Um, the tight end position. I'm going
Speaker 1: back to my man Cameron Ray O. J. Howard believed
Speaker 1: to have a high ankle sprain potentially. Um, we know
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's back in the saddle. Jamis Winston, No no,
Speaker 1: O J. Howard. Very good combination for Cameron Bright. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I agree with that one. Uh. And he's only owned
Speaker 1: in about nineteen percent of leaks, which is actually higher
Speaker 1: than I thought it would be considering these other ownership
Speaker 1: percentages for a tight end, But I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Cammon Brad, Jamis, Winston, Ran Fitzpatrick, whoever has been in there.
Speaker 1: They liked to throw to the tight end. They utilize
Speaker 1: that position. We know that Winston and Braid, you know,
Speaker 1: I've had a rapport in years past. Hasn't necessarily been
Speaker 1: there this year, but they like throwing to the tight
Speaker 1: end in Tampa. So if O. J. Howard is down,
Speaker 1: expects expects to miss time. Cameron Brad, at least for
Speaker 1: this week, looks like he is is the number one
Speaker 1: AD at the tight end position. I will mention John
Speaker 1: hut Smith, while he didn't score a touchdown this week,
Speaker 1: was targeted U target heavily in this game. He had
Speaker 1: what six for forty five, not a not a great
Speaker 1: yardage game, but in PPR you get ten points out
Speaker 1: of your tight head and he's been in He's been
Speaker 1: involved in the red zone all the other weeks leading
Speaker 1: up to this past week where he know again he
Speaker 1: didn't score a touchdown, but was good for a PPR.
Speaker 1: I'll mentioned John h Smith. Then the overly man, Antonio Kates,
Speaker 1: coming off his best game of the season eight yds
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. He's behind these other two definitely, but
Speaker 1: I think he was worth mentioning just based on based
Speaker 1: on the performance he had the Rams tight ends. Um
Speaker 1: mentioned at the top of the show. Do you pick
Speaker 1: those guys up over over a Cameron Braid or John No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'd rather have Cameron Brad, I'd rather have
Speaker 1: John new Smith. But I'll take them over Rants. I'll
Speaker 1: take them over over Rands, I'll take them over Antonio Gates.
Speaker 1: It's a crap shoot there, like I have Would you
Speaker 1: have it? Who would you rather have? The guys were
Speaker 1: mentioning this week, the Rams, John new Cameron, Brad Gates
Speaker 1: or my man, let's do it more time? Can you
Speaker 1: take me high man? I'll definitely take Brayton, John new Smith.
Speaker 1: He's like in that conversation with the Rams guys, they
Speaker 1: have more, they have more upside. Would He's in the
Speaker 1: same categories Gates? Okay, sorry, okay, you were the hire man.
Speaker 1: We're the highest man. Alright. Streaming defenses for this week.
Speaker 1: I spoke last week by the Buffalo Bills and the
Speaker 1: Bills go forward? Did they sneaky good defense? Next three
Speaker 1: weeks they get the Jags Dolphins and Jets can't so
Speaker 1: much better than that. So I like the Bills a
Speaker 1: lot this week. I like the Patriots certainly this week
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Those are my two favorite of the
Speaker 1: ones who probably could stream where you looking, Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to throw the Chargers out there. They're likely
Speaker 1: widely owned already, but they're facing the Cardinals if they're
Speaker 1: still out there in your league. They got Joey Bosa back.
Speaker 1: I believe he played something like, uh like thirty snaps
Speaker 1: in this game. Uh. And the Cardinals offenses has been
Speaker 1: great all season long. Josh Rosen is gonna be prone
Speaker 1: to get sacked and get so I like the Charges
Speaker 1: a lot. Uh. And then I'll mention the Colts just
Speaker 1: because they played really well last week against the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans at home, and they get the Miami Dolphins. You
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be Tannehill or Brock Osweiler,
Speaker 1: but either way, Dolphins offense is not scaring a lot
Speaker 1: of people. And then the Cowboys, who you know, have
Speaker 1: been up and down this year. They started off really hot,
Speaker 1: and there was like a stretch where like they weren't
Speaker 1: playing well they didn't perform against the tight ends and
Speaker 1: the Eagles UM, but then they did well this past
Speaker 1: week against the Falcons. They have a strong pass rush
Speaker 1: and they're going up against Washington, who their offensive line
Speaker 1: is decimated, and they're playing with Colton McCoy is their
Speaker 1: quarterback on Thanksgiving. So I think those are kind of
Speaker 1: the five streaming defenses this week. I like the Cowboys
Speaker 1: against Washington, all right, So there you go. I also,
Speaker 1: if you're you're absolutely desperate, um, who else do they
Speaker 1: pick up? There's there was I was I'm desperate in
Speaker 1: leagues that the Cardinals defense I picked up last week.
Speaker 1: So I put in a cleaning of the Browns against
Speaker 1: the Bengals, which is heat frank Um the Browns of
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Mond Browns defense showed up played
Speaker 1: well against the Falcons before the bye week. And then
Speaker 1: I also put in the Seahawks as well. Seahawks Greggy
Speaker 1: the twelve man on the road in Carolina? In Caroline,
Speaker 1: are you out of your mind? Greg? Hey, it's been
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals against the Charger. Yeah, that's my thought
Speaker 1: on all right, So there you go. That's our show today,
Speaker 1: really good one. We hope we helped. We'd love to
Speaker 1: find out who you got who you dropped? Uh and
Speaker 1: and hey, tomorrow could be the last trade deadline edition
Speaker 1: of the programs. You want to watch, that for sure.
Speaker 1: For Frank Stample, my name is Greg saw In The
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Frenzy comes your way next with Corey Parson,
Speaker 1: Jim Day and Chris Svenca. Have you great afternoon, Get
Speaker 1: those waiver wire claims in. I'll see you right back
Speaker 1: here tomorrow, we hope.
