1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: What two three breaks down in the middle of the 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: fielding is loose football down in the one yard line? 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: How about that? That is the ultimate commotion. 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: And we are underway. Hello him, Welcome to the Action 5 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: Network NFL Podcast.

Another good week football? 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine is just keep on winning at home. 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: So we'll see, we'll see, we'll talk all about it. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: The Nick Mullens era is upon us. All right, We'll 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 2: get things started with some of our best and worst 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: core plays of the week. 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 4: Some players pay and some players slay. Who are the 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: bankrel builders and bankroll killers from week fifteen. 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: All right, so my best play of this week was 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: none other than Davonte Adams. Do a wide receiver cornerback 25 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: piece every week for the Action American Fantasy Labs. And 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: you know some of these guys like Adams, you know, 27 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: continuously try to harp on. These guys are matchup proof. 28 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: You know, Bears have number one defense and debo against 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: number one wide receivers. Awesome passers, awesome corners. I get 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: all that, but look, Deavante Adams, the longest Aaron Rodgers 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: under center is matchup proof. He has scored a touchdown 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: or gone over one hundred yards and seventy five percent 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: of his games with Rodgers, says twenty sixteen. Sure enough, 34 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: today finds a way to go eight catches, one hundred 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: nineteen yards, no scores on thirteen targets, but managed to 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: get a two point conversion. All around baller that he 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: is on a week to week basis, Chris, what was 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: your best play for me? 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: It was actually somebody in that game, Chris Carson on 40 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks. I just think when anytime you see 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: that Seattle committee get cut from three to two, it's 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: usually a good thing to pick up the lead back there, 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 3: and Carson's been that guy for pretty much the whole year. 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: Goodn't lead back. 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: And you know, San Francisco not a great run defense, 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: kind of middle of the pack. I think they were 47 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 3: fifteenth in DBAWA coming into the to the week, but Carson, 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: you know, gets the goal line. 49 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: Carriies. 50 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: Mike Davis more of a passing down guy, but Carson 51 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: ended up coming up big in the passing game and 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: really helping his numbers. Well, we've caught seven balls, went 53 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: over one hundred, got a touchdown. 54 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised to see that from him. You know, 55 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: we usually expect Mike Davis to kind of get that 56 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: pass do work. But like you said, when we can 57 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: remove a back from that equation, things become a lot 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: more clear. All right, My worst player of the week 59 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: too much, Leonard Fournette. I don't hate my process still, 60 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: just you know, being at home against Washington, we saw 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: these last two weeks, even on ideal kind of game script, 62 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: Fournette was still able to get his snaps and touches. 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: But just we talked about a little bit too, but 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: just really got to be careful here. Later in the 65 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: season what teams are targeting, because weird stuff can happen 66 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: with really bad teams that are out of playoff contention. 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: Sure Enough, Fournette ends up going only forty six yards 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: on eleven carries. It was pretty much bench in the 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 2: second half. I mean, was hardly being used at all. 70 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: Cody freaking Kessler led the Jaguars with sixty eight rushing yards. 71 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: I was so mad I had to look it up, 72 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: and sure enough, Kessler's first fifteen career games he only 73 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: had seventy rushing yards. I don't quite know how that happened. Yeah, man, 74 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: having don't have too much exposure to running backs on 75 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: teams whose head coach get fired at any moment. What 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,839 Speaker 2: was your worst play? 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: Oh man, it was definitely a starving Shepherd. I mean, 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: you know, it was just a struggle for him. It 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: was a kind of a line move against the Giants. 80 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: They went from being a favorite to being an underdog. 81 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: The weather wasn't very good and Giants ended up being 82 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: one of the two teams like on the slate that 83 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: got shut out. So I guess there's a few ways 84 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: to probably gone with this. Eric Ebron looking at you, 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: but I mean that was a that's a different for 86 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: a different reason. 87 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: No more of a positive game script thing. But you know, Shepherd, 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: just this. 89 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 3: Giants passing game is really tough to trust anyone behind. 90 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: You know, when Odell Beckham's not in the lineup. 91 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: You know we so Ui Manning. 92 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: I throw incompletions on more passes than he completed today. 93 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: So just a rough day for Shepherd and Saquon Barkley 94 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: as well. I think we're probably gonna talk about that 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: in a second. 96 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Good good leading there, because now it's time to talk 97 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: about the biggest fansy disappointments. That's right, we got two 98 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: of them this week of the weekend. 99 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm the trash man. 100 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it, 101 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: totally unreliable, undependable. That's it. You've been told off. How 102 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: do you like that? Good? This week's trash men are 103 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: Sterling Shepherd and Sakuon Barkley. Chris, you were far from 104 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 2: the only one to go for these guys. I was 105 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: in on both as well. Shepherd, at twenty two point 106 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: four percent, was the second highest own wide receiver behind 107 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: only Juju Smith Schuster. Saquon was the fifth high zone 108 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: running back at twenty one point seven percent in the 109 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: draft Kings million maker. Like you said, Giants lost the 110 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: Titans seventeen nothing. Shepard only caught two of nine targets 111 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: for thirty seven scrollless yards. Saquon still found a way 112 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: to get twenty four combined rushes and targets with that, 113 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 2: though we only got fifty six total yard and again 114 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: failed to find the end zone. Like everyone else in 115 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: this game, Evan Ingram ended up being the only really 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: was almost the best tight end on the entire slate, 117 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: just out of you know, knowing really was able to 118 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: get much going on that position. But yeah, man, so 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: I guess question here, just without OBJ, you're kind of 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 2: expecting to have these vaultiple weeks, and then what do 121 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: you make of this pass offense moving forward if OBJ 122 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: is going to continue to be out. 123 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: I think you expect a volatilty kind of with or 124 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: without OBJ. But you know it's tough. That's true of 125 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: most pass offenses in the league. But you know, Eli 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: Manning not a guy who can really make things happen. 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: On his own or move around. 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: So you know, if a team like Tennessee comes in 129 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 3: there and they're covering well and they can get a 130 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 3: decent path rush. You know, it's going to be problematic 131 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: for the Giants offense. So I mean to close out 132 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: the year, you know, anytime Obj's out, I think you're 133 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: still going to look at at these guys for value. 134 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: But it's kind of one of those almost like a 135 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: youer main curse situations sometimes with Shephard because he's not 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: really getting targeted that deep down the field. So when 137 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: he gets nine targets, you're really expecting him to catch 138 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: you know, five to sixty seven in those balls. So 139 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: he's going only two of nine. That's really going to 140 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: be be trouble. But it looks like Ingram's being used 141 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: a little bit more. It was actually a tough matchup 142 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: for him today. On paper, Shepherd had the better matchup, 143 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: but Ingram ended up for a second straight week going 144 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 3: over seventy yards. So it maybe you know, there's been 145 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: rumors that he wasn't going to he's not going to 146 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: be back next year. I don't know if that's true 147 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: or not, or if that's even an issue for the team, 148 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: but it seems like they're showcasing him a little bit 149 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: more down the stretch. 150 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard that rumor as well. And I checked 151 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: the snaps and Ingram did significantly out snap rtt Ellison, 152 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: who's been they're blocking tight end. Yeah, you know, you 153 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: think their first round pick from last year would be 154 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: out snapping this guy, but this wasn't the case in 155 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: previous weeks. So last two games without OBJ, Ingram led 156 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: the way with seventeen targets, but Saquan and Sheppard have 157 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: been right there with fifteen each. So seems like a 158 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: situation where yeah, Shepherd is the you know, wide receiver one, 159 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: but he could end up third on his own team 160 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: and targets any given week. Kind of same thing we 161 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 2: see in situations like Carolina teams were really good options 162 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: at tight end, d running back. And now for the 163 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: team that lost the public the most money this weekend, 164 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: or as our old friend Joe Buck might put. 165 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: It, that is a disgusting act. 166 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: That's right, Joe. The Seattle Seahawks. We touched on a 167 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: little bit of Chris Carson's day, but things did not 168 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: go quite as well for Seahawks betters. Seventy two percent 169 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: of the public was on Seattle minus four, but people 170 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: probably could have seen this coming a little bit considering 171 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: the lines opened that minus five and a half, so 172 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: I had some sharp money get that line down. Games 173 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: started pretty great for Seattle, going right down the field, 174 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: Dougie Baldwin a nice touchdown, then Ritchie James immediately took 175 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: the next kick return all the way to the house. 176 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: Ended up getting a nice back and forth game. When 177 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: the overtime of twenty three all after three and out 178 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: by Seahawks forty nine ers, we were able to drive 179 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: right down the field and kick the game winning field goal. 180 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: Chris thoughts on this game and thoughts on this I 181 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: guess both offenses moving forward in his last two weeks 182 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: and kind of what do you think about targeting them? 183 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: I guess because we got Seattle competing for a playoff 184 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: spot and we got the forty nine ers, who it 185 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: seems like as long as Kyle Shanahan's calling plays, I mean, 186 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: they're gonna be put on points. 187 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. 188 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: So this is this is a classic kind of public 189 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 3: versus sharp disagreement game. Me and Matthew Freeman actually went 190 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: back and forth on this one on the Friday Pod, 191 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: and it's one where it's really tough to bet on 192 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: a team like San Francisco when you know Seattle, as 193 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: you mentioned, playing for a playoff spot. But if you 194 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: looked at the advanced metrics, San Francisco is just better 195 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: pretty much across the board and everything but situational football. 196 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson playing out of his mind. 197 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 3: You know, Seattle is a good team on third down, 198 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: but San Francisco getting more first downs per play, better 199 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: on offense and defense than Seattle, better in net yards 200 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: per pass attempts to whether you're looking at the splits 201 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: with Mullins, with the whole season, including the Thard, just 202 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: a lot of kind of red flags for Seattle. I 203 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: believe there's an article that came out on Action Network 204 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: two about how home teams that are in put in 205 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: playoff contention, the kind of fringe playoff teams, it tends 206 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: to be profitable to be against those teams. So I 207 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: guess we kind of saw that come to fruition this 208 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: week and now Seattle. I still like Seattle as an 209 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: offense for fantasy because, especially when if Rashad Penny is 210 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: going to be out that backfield with Carson is money 211 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: in the bank, they play case and Casey is one 212 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: of the worst run defenses inn the entire National Football League. 213 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: So I think you look at them, and then you 214 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: know you have Baldwin and Locket and sometimes David Moore 215 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 3: hits on a big play, sometimes he doesn't, but he'll 216 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 3: get air yards and that's pretty much. 217 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: That's pretty much their offense in the nutshell. 218 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: The tight ends have been complete non factors Ed Dixon 219 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: and Nick Finnette. And on the other side, I think 220 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: Mowens he's probably a little better than they thought. But 221 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not touching them against Chicago next week. 222 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's hard to touch anyone one. Quick thing 223 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: you brought about Carson in this next upcoming match up 224 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: against the Chiefs, Seahawks got to be one of I mean, 225 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: I don't know a handful of teams. I think most 226 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: really that will kind of continue to run the ball 227 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: even if games script doesn't immediately go their way. So 228 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: I think they're kind of better able to take advantage 229 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: of this matchup against the league's you know, dead last 230 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: defense and rush to be away. 231 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for seatle. 232 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: It's just I believe I read a stat somewhere that 233 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: they're a great second half team to bet on, and 234 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: I guess. 235 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: That wasn't the case today. 236 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: But you know, they will kind of stick to that 237 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: run game no matter what, and that's good for the 238 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: running backs involved. 239 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: But it depends. 240 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: You know, the run game obviously not always explosive or 241 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: efficient as the pass game, so sometimes they get in 242 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 3: situations where they have to be more aggressive in the 243 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: second half. But against Kansas City, I would think that 244 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 3: the game plan would be, hey, we got to keep 245 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: the ball out of Patrick Mahomes' hands, because again, Seattle 246 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: just their metrics, like from down to down are not 247 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: very good. They're just a they're very average football team 248 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: made good by what Russell Wilson could do on offense 249 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: and at some time we defense, and that's that's good. 250 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: That's good football. That's what you need to do to win. 251 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: But you know, obviously not the same kind of talent 252 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: on that teams as we're used to, you know, over 253 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: the past couple of years in that dynasty. 254 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be very interesting to see how they 255 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: stack up in that Chiefs game as well as a 256 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: potential playoff date down the road. All right, now, we're 257 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: going to take a quick review of the winning millionaire 258 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: maker lineup from M Bohnson. 259 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 4: Becoming a DFS millionaire. Talk about a dream come true? 260 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: What DraftKings lineup lived a daily fantasy fantasy this weekend. 261 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: All right, mister m bonson total two hundred and six 262 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: point four to four Draft Kings points. Kind of a 263 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: funky week. Didn't see anyone you know, truly truly go off, 264 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: but yeah, basically started things off for the Matt Ryan 265 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: and Julio Jones stack went with Marlon Mack and Joe 266 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: Mixon at the RB spots. Also Dalvin Cook in the 267 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: flex rounded out the wide receivers with Mike Evans and 268 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: Kenny Galladay. Tight End was Kyle Rudolph, and the defense 269 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: was the Falcons at home versus Josh Rosen and company. 270 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: Chris thoughts on this one million dollar winning a lineup. 271 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the first thing that stands out is 272 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: that the three wide receivers, Evans, Galladay, and Julio Jones, 273 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: all of them seven point four percent owned or less, 274 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: and all three of them really are contrarian players. 275 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: When you look at their matchups. 276 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: You know, Evans tough Baltimore secondary, Kenny Galladay has to 277 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 3: go against Tredavius White and that Bill's defense that you know, 278 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 3: Bills really haven't been given up too much or getting 279 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: into too many crazy games where you need to throw 280 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: that much. But you know he went off for seven 281 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: for one to forty six. You know, Bruce Ellingson wasn't there. 282 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: And then Julio going against Patrick Peterson. Usually with a 283 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 3: lot of other studs on the slate, people won't really 284 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: pay up for a guy in that type of matchup, 285 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: and we saw that again, only seven point four percent ownership, 286 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 3: So I think that was kind of the key. Wide 287 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: receivers tends to be that position where you can find 288 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: a lot of value by differentiating. 289 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: Whereas talk about it pretty. 290 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: Much every week, at the running back position, you're probably 291 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 3: gonna want at least one of the clear chalk or 292 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: value plays here. Joe Mixon forty one point six percent 293 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: in Dalvin Cook twenty four point five percent. Both of 294 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 3: those guys scored thirty or more draftings points and great 295 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: matchup for mixing home favorite against Oakland Dalvin Cook. 296 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: Same thing. 297 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: Was a little worried about their passing game because I 298 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: thought they would kind of commit to the run, But 299 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: it turns out they didn't have a problem on offense, 300 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 3: although it did affect you and I think he only 301 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 3: caught two balls, but overall, Minnesota's offense looking good. So 302 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: and then you know, Falcons were just one of those 303 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: top values. I think they were, you know, top of 304 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: our models as far as defensive values go. 305 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, you know, Yo, where did these dudes come from? 306 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: I think every week we see this tight ends like 307 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: like you hit on it, like Evan Ingram was probably 308 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 3: the tight end up most people would have just kind 309 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: of landed on naturally, and it didn't even happen in 310 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: this lineup. But you know, again, that's what happens when 311 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: I when you stack these wide receivers, because I think 312 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: there was probably I would say a few if any 313 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: other lineups that even had this wide receiver combination of Evans, 314 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: Gllady Jones and no less having with the right running 315 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: backs Marlon Mack obviously you know was a key play 316 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: at two percent, but you can always kind of afford 317 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 3: that one. 318 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: That one good. 319 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And yeah, I think you brought up a 320 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: really good point about these not these receivers had good 321 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: matchups this week. But I mean kind of like I 322 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: was saying earlier with Davonte Adams, these are also three 323 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: guys that you know they can win any single matchup. 324 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: I mean Evans, you know, six five, two thirty, he 325 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: can sky for anyone. Kenny Galladay, you know, coming off 326 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: that brutal week last week, you know, I think we 327 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: all knew he wasn't gonna be that, even a tough 328 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: matchup against Tradavius. And then I mean when you look 329 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: at these shadow matchups, it's always got to remember too 330 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: that a lot of these cornerbacks don't move into the slot. 331 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: So like Patrick Peterson, for example, it's only played twelve 332 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: snaps in the slot all season. So when we know 333 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: there's a guy like Julio who is schemed inside a 334 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: good amount and kind of can take advantage of that, 335 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: that's a you know, especially indoors to situation that we 336 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: shouldn't be as afraid of taking a chance on. 337 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: Did you happen to see I did? 338 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: Like I was watching red Zone, so the games were 339 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: jumping around, but for I looked at the box score 340 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: for the Bucks, and Mike Evans essentially had all of 341 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: their receiver production. I don't know if anyone else cleared 342 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: twenty yards? Did you did you know if they just 343 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: kind of played that straight up and we're focused on 344 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: everyone else, or or did you not were you not 345 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: able to catch anything either. 346 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't catch much of the game. I just 347 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: know I was on a Chris Goblin bounce back week 348 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: and I should have been on Kenny Galday instead. I guess. 349 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean it's crazy because I feel like 350 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: we do the trash man and there's always like seven 351 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: runners up that we could have because I mean, did. 352 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: Goblin catch a pass? Are you still waiting for him 353 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: to catch it? 354 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: Oh? 355 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: So you put this last two weeks Chris Goblin, thirteen targets, 356 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: thirteen year olds. 357 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's the Bucks offense. 358 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: It's very volatile with that the way they kind of 359 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: run it, you know, high average up to target, turnover prone, 360 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: just you know, kind of hard to even. Evans wasn't 361 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: really someone to be relied on these last few weeks. 362 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, and MARII Cooper another guy who just kind 363 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: of quiet, real quiet day. 364 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, honestly, Evans had this like sixty four yard catch. 365 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: That game is basically just chucked downfield on third and twenty. 366 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: So if you take that away, I don't think we'd 367 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: be having this conversation. But hey, man, I mean either 368 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: way though, I mean, Evans is a guy that does 369 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: make those sixty yard catches, so something you don't want 370 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: to take a look from him obviously. Okay, Now we're 371 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: going to go over some of the week's injuries. As always, 372 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: we'll know more about these probably on Monday, so make 373 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: sure you check out the NFL Week sixteen injury report 374 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: on Action Network when that's published tomorrow afternoon. 375 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 4: Keep your head on a swivel for the injury report. 376 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: Okay, first injury, were going to look at Edo Smith, 377 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: his number two running back here for the better part 378 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: of the season. Really most questionable coming into the game 379 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: with a knee injury. Ended up exiting early. Not sure 380 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: if you reaggravated the same issue, but was not able 381 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 2: to return. We saw Tevin Coleman really go off. He 382 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: was popping in our models. Finally kind of hit that 383 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: low price point. Really good match up here, but that 384 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: Leven carries one hundred and forty five yards and a 385 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 2: touchdown on the ground. Didn't really see him do much 386 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 2: as a receiver that which was concerning. You know, we've 387 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: seen him have these weeks with you know, three five 388 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: receptions and make some moves, but we've also seen that 389 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: his receiving floor is quite literally zero zero, So basically 390 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: moving forward if he is not able to play, we're 391 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: looking at their four string running back now with Freemon 392 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: ir Brian Hill, who they drafted last year in the 393 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: fifth round but cut him. He spent a little bit 394 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: of time on Cincinnati. He's been back. Not the most 395 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 2: impressive guy. Chris, what are your thoughts here on this 396 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: backfield entering their Week sixteen matchup in Carolina against that 397 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: past final. 398 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 3: Defense In fantasy, if you got Tevin Covin, probably have 399 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 3: to play him, but it's not the ideal matchup in Carolina. 400 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 3: You know, we thought if Devonte Freeman went down, Tevin 401 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: Coleman would smash and right, and that really hasn't been 402 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: a case. He's had weeks here and there. I think 403 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 3: I remember, uh a few. I think it was last 404 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: week the week before one of our Twitter followers message 405 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: us like, hey, why do you guys keep ranking Tevin 406 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 3: Coleman as an RB two? Like he keeps busting, Like 407 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: I mean, he's getting just enough volume, But it's you know, 408 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 3: a lot of those weeks, it's just he doesn't produce 409 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 3: because they haven't been able to run block really for 410 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 3: most of the season, and you know, he was able 411 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 3: to break a big player to today against a pretty 412 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 3: weak run defense. But if you look at the Carolina Panthers, 413 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: now they are they went. They came into this week 414 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 3: number one in defensive adjusted lineyards per rush, and that's 415 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: a metric from football outsiders that kind of measures, you know, 416 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 3: how good a defense can protect against like big runs 417 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: and play consistent down and down football. 418 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: And that's a run. 419 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 3: So this is not the right matchup, especially if Coleman's 420 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: not going to get that consistent usage in the receiving game. 421 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: That's what we really need out of him. Because it's 422 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: not going to the Falcons could very well go back 423 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: to rushing for under fifty yards or something like that 424 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: against in a road game in Carolina. 425 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you said it, man, number one adjusted lanyards 426 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: allowed per rush overall defense against the run their eight, 427 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: So I mean they've been very strong overall, not just 428 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: on the line in twenty ninth in past DVLA. So 429 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: it could be a situation where Julio Jones, Austin Hooper 430 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: maybe just ended up getting a little bit more volume. 431 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 2: All right, next guy, Aaron Jones. Man, it was in 432 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 2: a little bit of a sneaky spot just as the Packers 433 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: kind of outright. RB one was under owned this week, 434 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: you know, against this tough Bears defense, but only had 435 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: a couple carries was forced out of the game. Early 436 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: rap sheet hows reported he suffered a sprained MCL. It's 437 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: not considered serious, but I mean, at the very least, 438 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: it's really tough to see him coming back this week 439 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: and inheriting that same kind of three down role in 440 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: his absence that we saw Jamal Williams get fifty five 441 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 2: rushing yards and a touchdown, chipped in another forty two 442 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: receiving yards. I mean, he's played his last five games 443 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: of Aaron Jones sideline. He's had nineteen fifteen, twenty five, 444 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: twenty two and twenty one touches. So we've seen Williams 445 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: really be that three down guy with Jones out and 446 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: without time Montgomery there. I mean, are we expecting Jamal 447 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: Williams to be that guy we succeed out the Jets? 448 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: I think so, I think that's probably going to be 449 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: the case. 450 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: It's it's gonna and it's a type of matchup where 451 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 3: it's not very imposing when you're going against the Jets. 452 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: You know, a team that looks like the Packers are 453 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: three point favorite, so a team that you know, we 454 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 3: expect the Packers to beat, so I think, and it's 455 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: a game that the Packers don't have a very good 456 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 3: run defense themselves, So I'd imagine that the Jets with 457 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: Sam Donald will be a run heavy team, and that'll 458 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: kind of be that kind of game, that kind of 459 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 3: game script where the running backs on both teams will 460 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: be heavily involved. So I think Williams is in a 461 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: good spot if if Jones misses another game, He's not 462 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 3: He's not the explosive kind of back that Jones is. 463 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 3: We talked about this early in the year because kind 464 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: of wondering why Jones didn't get more playing time. 465 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: But Williams just kind of that. 466 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 3: Reliable pass blocker, that guy that can get you three 467 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: yards of carry, maybe not four as much as you want, 468 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: but you can get you at three. So you know 469 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: that that's kind of what you expect from him. But 470 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 3: you know, anytime you're playing in office with Aaron Rodgers 471 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 3: as a favorite, it's a pretty good spot. 472 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: So how confident are you that Aaron Rodgers is going 473 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: to be out there? I haven't heard anything to suggest otherwise, 474 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: I'm just I mean they're eliminated. We saw last year 475 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 2: when they were eliminated, they really didn't push it. I mean, 476 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: I know he was kind of playing with a fractured 477 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: call about that, so a little bit different. But yeah, man, 478 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: I mean I don't know. I feel like we should 479 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: probably do a rundown this week article or something, just 480 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: kind of seeing what the like, what what what do 481 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: these teams have to play for at this point, because 482 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I feel like that does matter. 483 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: I know, when you're out on the football field, you're 484 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: not going to take your foot off the gas. These guys. 485 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 2: You know it's too dangerous of a sport to do that. 486 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 2: But still, I mean, how concerned are you about that? 487 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't until you just brought it up. 488 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: I just it didn't. 489 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: It didn't cross someone because he's not like hurt hurt, right, 490 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: He's not just yeah, So I mean I don't think 491 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: he's just going to take a two game vacation. I mean, 492 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 3: I mean, you we've seen crazier things. But I think 493 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 3: he'll be out there. You know, he's a competitor. The 494 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 3: line open Green Bay favored by I believe it was three, 495 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: So I'm guessing that's everything from now that we've seen 496 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: says Anon Rodgers is going to be out there, So 497 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: I would just think that again, they probably do play 498 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: played a little close to the best, play. 499 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: A little more run heavy, because it's that kind of game. 500 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 3: Like I don't think they need to have Aaron Rodgers 501 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 3: out there throwing at forty forty five times against the Jets, 502 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: but yeah, so I think it does. 503 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: It sets up well for Williams and you know Adam 504 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: is going to keep on trucking. 505 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: Did you see the snapcounts today, because I know last 506 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: game Saint Brown actually out snap mvs, so that's probably 507 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: something to keep in mind. I didn't see the snapcounts today, 508 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: but it didn't look like MBS was too involved either. 509 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, Marquez Baldis Scantling played twenty one snaps and Equanimius 510 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: Saint Brown played forty two snaps, so he was he 511 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: was the outright number three. Yeah, man, I mean I 512 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 2: saw Rogers target Cobb and it seemed like every single 513 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 2: time they just want on the same page. I'd like 514 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: to see him get these rookies some more run here 515 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: in his last two weeks, but we shall see yeah, 516 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: I think. 517 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 3: I mean esb if he's probably available in a lot 518 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: of weeks if you need like a desperation for your 519 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: Fantasy championship game or something. 520 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: They are going against the Jets, you kind of mentioned it. 521 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 3: It's kind of a game that doesn't matter anymore, so 522 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: they probably will see a little bit more involvement. 523 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 2: He's talented too, man. I remember Matt Kelly, you know, 524 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: awesome guy player profile run ale Underworld. He kind of 525 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: told me in the summer he was already onto him. 526 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: How basically only reason Saint Brown fell the sixth rounds 527 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: because he told all these teams that he was not 528 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: going to play special teams and that was not so. 529 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that's that's the difference. 530 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: You know, he's like the Jabari Parker of the NFL, exactly. 531 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: But I mean, hey, you know, the talent's one out 532 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 2: over time. We haven't talked about Jamal Moore for months, 533 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: so it is exactly so all right, one of the 534 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: last running backs to touch on. So Frank Gore Man 535 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 2: the inconvenient truth, suffered ankle injury, was spot in a 536 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: walking boot after the game. So you would think we 537 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: were here to tell you about how great Kenyan Drake 538 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: did and all the touches he got, but that was 539 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: not the case. Ken and Drake ended up playing twenty 540 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 2: eight snaps and Kaylen Balach's played twenty six, so pretty 541 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: much a fifty to fifty time share, and then Balaje 542 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: out touched Drake thirteen to four. So I think, you know, 543 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: we'll see how chalky Drake gets during this week, but 544 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: I think it's just a good time to remind people that, look, 545 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: we've almost never seen Adam Caase hand any running back 546 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: of future role, and last year for Drake to get it, 547 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 2: it not only took a jiet to get traded, but 548 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: Damian Williams also had to get hurt until Drake really 549 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: finally had that huge four or five game stretch to 550 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 2: end the season. Chris, are you expecting kind of see 551 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 2: a similar fifty to fifty split as long as a 552 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: Ballati and Drake are both healthy. 553 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think they're given Brandon Bolton some 554 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: touches in that backfield as well. So Adam Gase obviously 555 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: likes the committees and tough matchup Week sixteen against Jacksonville. 556 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: They are at home, but it's another one of. 557 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 3: Those games that could be very underwhelming from a fantasy 558 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 3: perspective because you have Jacksonville that you know how they're 559 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: going to kind of play. They're gonna run the ball, 560 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: they want to play defense, you know, especially after what 561 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 3: happened to them on the road last week, to probably 562 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: play a better game this week and getting embarrassed by 563 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 3: a team starting Josh Johnson losing that game. I think 564 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 3: they'll actually come out better in Miami than you'd expect. 565 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 3: And Miami is a team that if they're not giving 566 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 3: up a ton on defense, it's going to be one 567 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: of those those ugly games because they're not a very 568 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: aggressive team. They tend to run the ball when when 569 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: the game is you know, in hand a little bit 570 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 3: Ryan Tanne who usually doesn't have that many attempts. 571 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: So I think there's. 572 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 3: It's tough for Drake because he he's better in situations 573 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 3: where Miami's down by a lot of points they need 574 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: to come with. 575 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: His the season defining play was literally a game winner, right, 576 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: so you know where. 577 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 3: Where he where, he outran not even a defender but 578 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: a tight end. So I mean he's a very situational player. 579 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: I love Kenyan Drake, I think, but I think he's 580 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: more of like a tournament play and that again kind 581 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 3: of depends on his ownership. I almost think that Jacksonville 582 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: matchup maybe won't make them that chalky, and the fact 583 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 3: that Bowache went for over one hundred. I think if 584 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: Gore's out, Bowage might actually see a lot of ownership 585 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 3: that we expect Drake to get. So it will kind 586 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 3: of depend on that, and we'll see what Adam Levitan, 587 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 3: who makes the ownership projections, does a great job at 588 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 3: it at Fantasy As We'll see what he kind of 589 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 3: projects and is thinking as the week moves along. But 590 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: I think that's it's a situation a monitor because one 591 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 3: of the backs is probably gonna to do reasonably well 592 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 3: just because of the type of game script it projects 593 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: to be. 594 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: But it's really going to depend on the ownership for 595 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: where the leverages. 596 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, about to say it could be a good spot 597 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: to pivot if one of the guys is that much 598 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 2: higher on all right, quickly a couple other injuries. Tyler 599 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: Boyd hurt his knee, but he said afterwards that he'll 600 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: be good to go for next week, will continue to 601 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 2: be the bengals number one receiver. The Bills are going 602 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: to be trotting out you and there'll be trying on. 603 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: Chris and I are running back here pretty soon because 604 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: Shady couldn't suit up, Chris Ivy couldn't suit up, and 605 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 2: Marcus Murphy now hurt his arms, so we'll see what 606 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: they're doing throughout this week. Seemed like Shady and Ivory 607 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: weren't too banged up going to the game, so I mean, 608 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: maybe they won't be starting, you know, whatever four stringer 609 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: they can find on the street. And finally, we usually 610 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: don't talk too much about defenders here, but Bear safety 611 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 2: Eddie Jackson is probably gonna be Okay. He only suffered 612 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: a sprained ankle. You know, we've seen him score all 613 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: these defensive touchdowns over the last two years. Looked pretty 614 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: bad when he got that pickoff of Rogers, but looks 615 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: like he avoided any serious injuries. Okay, and now we're 616 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: gonna take a look at some of today's a workload 617 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 2: and notable standouts. So first one, Chris, it's been Lamar 618 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: Jackson season man these last five weeks. He has been 619 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: absolutely crushing it. Talked on last week's Daily Fantasy Flex 620 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 2: about why his rushing production is a little more sustainable 621 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: than someone like Josh Allen, just because of how much 622 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: the Ravens are designing his rush attempts. And I mean 623 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: it was like going into Sunday, I think it was 624 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 2: something like eighty percent of his yards from design runs. 625 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: So he's more or less in RB one with you know, 626 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: any passing he happens to get this is basically bonus, 627 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 2: but might not be that easy moving forward. Huh, what 628 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: do you think about it this next week matchup against 629 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: the Chargers. 630 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love me some Lamar. 631 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 3: It's crazy how his schedule lined up in to start 632 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: his career. I mean he literally played in terms of 633 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: DVA Cincinnati twenty ninth, Oakland thirty first, Atlanta thirty second, 634 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 3: Kansas City twenty six, and Tampa Bay thirtieth entering the week, 635 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 3: So he played the bottom four and then the seventh 636 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 3: worst defense. That's been the five defenses he's faced. And 637 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: so Baltimore pre Jackson five point two yards per play 638 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 3: on offense in that string in that first four game 639 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: string coming into today five point two with Jackson and 640 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: then five point one today against the Bucks. So it's 641 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: kind of actually been very similar from an efficiency standpoint 642 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: as the Joe Flacco offense. It's just it's just a 643 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: lot sexier for fantasy because, as you mentioned, you get 644 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 3: that rushing floor. That being said, this week against the Chargers, 645 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 3: it is going to be his toughest matchup. I mentioned 646 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: all those defenses, you know in the bottom seven. The 647 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 3: Chargers came into this week number nine. They did give 648 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: up you know, the twenty eight to Kansas City, but 649 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 3: that's actually holding Kansas City below there this average, So 650 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: you know, tough matchup for Lamar. 651 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: I think it continues to be the case. 652 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 3: And I noticed in our models me and Friedman talked 653 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: about this on the Friday Pot as well. Lamar Jackson 654 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: had one of the best projected plus minuses, but one 655 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: of the worst, one of the lowest floor projections. And 656 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 3: I think it's it's actually interesting because you think of 657 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: him as like this hot, low floor guy, like if 658 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 3: he doesn't if he doesn't score a rushing touchdown or 659 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 3: do anything passing, you know, he's probably gonna end up 660 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: with like, you know, ninety rushing yards and not that 661 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: much else. But he's actually been very consistent in terms 662 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: of just hitting his median. He hasn't had that like 663 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 3: Mons their thirty point game yet, but he also hasn't 664 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: had a real disappointing game either, so it's a really 665 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 3: kind of fascinating situation. But I wouldn't go away from 666 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 3: him here because the Chargers weakness is on the ground still, 667 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 3: you know, they are their strength of their defense is 668 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 3: past defense, so it could get ugly at times. I 669 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: think the Chargers are definitely in play as like a 670 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: streaming option against him as well, but I think just 671 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 3: because the way their defense sets up. They came into 672 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 3: the week number sixteen against the run, number nine against 673 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: the pass, we saw, you know, Damian Williams have some 674 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 3: success against them, so that'll probably stay where it is 675 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 3: or go down. And yeah, I think I think Baltimore 676 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: is going to come out the same way they've been 677 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: coming out and run a ridiculous amount of runs and 678 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 3: Lamar will get his. 679 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, third most rushing yards by rookie QB in NFL 680 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: history already, and the guy's only been starting for five weeks, 681 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: so been very fun to watch, all right. Next up, 682 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: we saw him in the Millionaire winning lineup. Marlon Mack 683 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: completely went off twenty seven carries carewer real high one 684 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine yards and a pair of touchdowns 685 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: against what was coming into this week the fourth ranked 686 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: Cowboys defense and rush DVOA. Big thing that I kind 687 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: of found breaking this down, wondering where the hell this 688 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 2: came from. Basically, the Colt starting center Ryan Kelly did 689 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: return this week. He missed the three consecutive games from 690 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: weeks twelve to fourteen. Obviously, you know, one lineman doesn't 691 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: necessarily make all the difference in the world, but we 692 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: have seen, you know, some of the elite linemen make 693 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 2: a pretty severe difference, you know in Dallas and some 694 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: of these other places. And yeah, I mean, Kelly is 695 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: PFS number seven overall center. And we've seen Mac average 696 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 2: five point h four yards per kerry in seven games 697 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: with him in just three point nine to one in 698 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: three games without him, Chris. They got the Giants at 699 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: home in week sixteen, another pretty good spot. Do you 700 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: expect that Mac in this cult rushing game to keep turning? 701 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely in this spot. I mean we saw, look 702 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 3: with the Titans were able to do on the road 703 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 3: coming into New York or New Jersey, i should say, 704 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 3: and running all over the Giants. 705 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: That's a team that I mean. 706 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 3: Run defense is one of those things where you do 707 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 3: need some kind of motivation and some effort or you're 708 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: just going to kind of get pushed back. And the 709 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 3: Giants are pretty much eliminated from playoff contention at this point, 710 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 3: and that that's a team where. 711 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: You do question the motivation on defense. 712 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 3: You know, they traded their best run defender and in 713 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 3: Snax Harrison to the Detroit Lions back at the deadline 714 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 3: or a little bit before it. So I think this 715 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: is another great spot for Mac to keep on going. 716 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: And the Colts. 717 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: Have shown that when when their running game is working, 718 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 3: they will give Mac a high volume of carries. 719 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: It hasn't that hasn't always been the case. 720 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 3: When it's not working, they tend to go away from 721 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 3: it because why wouldn't you if you had Andrew luck 722 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 3: At as your quarterback. But this is one of those 723 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: games that projects as a game where Indianapolis is going 724 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: to be able to control it. We saw the Giant 725 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 3: struggle on offense at home today, we saw Indianapolis shut 726 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 3: out the Cowboys in Indianapolis, and now the Giants have 727 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 3: to go there. So yeah, it sets up perfectly for. 728 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 2: Mac looking great. And yeah, hats off to the Colts here. 729 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: Back back really impressive wins over the Texans and Cowboys, 730 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: who were both really streaking going to those games. So 731 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: we'll be in the fight for that playoff spot and 732 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: it could be dangerous. All right. Last topic we'll hit 733 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: on here this new look Vikings offense. Obviously, they moved 734 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: on to their new offensive coordinator with their quarterback coach. 735 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 2: The results, Kirk Cousins threw a season low twenty one passes, 736 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 2: just the second game game all season he had fewer 737 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: than thirty. You know, I think we kind of talked 738 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: about this thout last week, how they could just really 739 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 2: try to reemphasize the ground game, and sure enough, that's 740 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: what happened. Dalvin Cook went off first time since Week 741 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: one that he had a twenty plus carries, And hey, man, 742 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: I think you called this last week because I asked 743 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: if you thought that they will kind of go back 744 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: to that future goal for him that we hadn't quite 745 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 2: seen in the while, and with their backs against the wall, 746 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: they went back to them. You're expecting the Dalvin Cook 747 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: show here moving forward. 748 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm expecting the running game moving forward too. 749 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 3: I think Murray got a touchdown as well, and this 750 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 3: was something I was worried about for the Minnesota Vikings. 751 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 3: Now it's going to be interesting see if it's if 752 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 3: it's fool's gold or not, because now they go to Detroit. 753 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 3: Detroit has been a lot better on run defense since 754 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 3: they got Snacks Harrison. They haven't been that same pushover 755 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 3: that they were for the first half of the season, 756 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 3: and then they closed the season against Chicago at home. 757 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 3: Now that's the number one coming into this week, the 758 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 3: number one rushing defense in the league in terms of 759 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 3: DV AWAY. So the whole thing about running more and 760 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 3: re emphasizing it sounds great and it works out great 761 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 3: when you're playing a defense like Miami that you know 762 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 3: they they were actually a little bit better on early 763 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 3: downs against the run than the past, but still mediocre 764 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 3: at best. You know, Minnesota is able to go the 765 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 3: league get ahead, so it looks so it's great when 766 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: that's going, when that's happening, but you know, now they 767 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 3: have to go on a road against a team that 768 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 3: plays a little bit better run defense. 769 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: Let's see if they. 770 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 3: Can continue to kind of utilize their true mismatches, which 771 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 3: are not it's not just down Cook, which you know 772 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 3: he had been under utilized for part of the season. 773 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: But I'm also injuries playing a role into that. 774 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 3: But they have to make sure to still be aggressive 775 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: with dew and it Diggs because really the issue with 776 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 3: d Filippo and I think the real reason why he 777 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 3: got fired, they're saying it was just because he didn't 778 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 3: run enough. From what I looked what I looked at it, 779 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 3: to me, it looked like he didn't he was superdictable, 780 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 3: and he didn't use play action and things like that enough. 781 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 3: Like we know that when you look at the numbers, 782 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 3: a run game, like having a good run game doesn't 783 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 3: actually correlate to any more play action success. So there 784 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 3: was no reason for him to go away from play 785 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 3: action just because the running game wasn't working. But I mean, 786 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 3: on paper, their running game was one of the worst 787 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 3: in league in terms of efficiency on early downs, and 788 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 3: their pass game was middle of the pack. So you 789 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 3: expect you should be passing a little bit more, you know, 790 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 3: if you just can't run. So that's going to be 791 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: kind of the question and the test for them going 792 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 3: forward is that can they sustain this, because it's going 793 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 3: to look great when you're at home against a really 794 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 3: bad defense. But that being said, they did look a 795 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 3: lot better overall on offense. I mean, the passing game 796 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 3: was very efficient, So that's the way you want to 797 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 3: attack Detroit. 798 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: There did a bottom of the league in past deal. 799 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, this was just the ultimate kind of get right 800 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 2: spot for them at home versus the Dolphins. So Diggs 801 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 2: led the way with seven targets. It's after that was 802 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: root off of three, Todder Conklin had three and Adam 803 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: Feeling only had two. I'm just looking ahead real quick 804 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: as Lions matchup, we would expect Darius Slayer to spend 805 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: most of his time on the outside with Diggs. Are 806 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 2: you confident enough and Feeling's targets share to, you know, 807 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: go off and kind of have one of these big 808 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 2: games we haven't seen for a while. 809 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think that what you 810 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: saw Seattle. 811 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: You know, this is a copycat league, and especially from 812 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 3: what I understand, teams prepare for their opponent by watching 813 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 3: the last four games. 814 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: The most closely. 815 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 3: And so we saw Seattle a couple of weeks ago 816 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 3: on that Monday night game. 817 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: They are on all passing downs. 818 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: They were doubling both of them, Feeling and dig So 819 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 3: because you can always double two guys on defense. It 820 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 3: was just just we just literally everyone else, uh, single 821 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 3: up unless you dropped you know, ten to eleven guys 822 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 3: in the coverage, which we started to see certain defenses 823 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 3: do across the league from time to time as well. 824 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: But that's why I kind of mentioned that run game again, 825 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 3: because they need to stay ahead of the down and 826 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 3: distance so that defenses can't resort to that tactic of doubling, 827 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 3: dealing and Diggs. Because again, you know, I mean Kyle Rudolph. Yes, 828 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: he won the Millie he got he caught what you say, 829 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 3: three three balls, right, so yeah, I mean, you know this, 830 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 3: he hasn't been nearly as much of a difference maker 831 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 3: this year. Some of it is just kind of variant 832 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 3: with you know, getting unlucky in the red zone. A 833 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 3: lot of his red zone targets aren't going for touchdowns. 834 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 3: You know, that could be an issue just between him 835 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 3: and Kirk Cousins. You know, Cousins said he had great 836 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 3: chemistry with Rudolph coming into the year, but we haven't 837 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 3: really seen it. And then you know, kind of a 838 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 3: dark hole at that other wide receiver spot. You know, 839 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 3: Aldrick Robinson's probably the ideal guy for them to have 840 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 3: out there because he challenges defenses deep but. 841 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: Doesn't really give you much else. 842 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: And I think they now that they want to re 843 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 3: establish the run, they're probably going to keep tread Well 844 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 3: in the lineup kind of where he's been playing before, 845 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: because that's what he's been in the line up for. 846 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: So again, this is just one of those things where 847 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 3: it's not black and white with these with these coaching 848 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 3: changes and these philosophy shifts, you kind of have to 849 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 3: see it play out against different opponents. So I think 850 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 3: this is kind of a much bigger game for Minnesota 851 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 3: and that coaching staff now going on the road playoffs, 852 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 3: you know, still in sight, they have to make sure 853 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 3: that they don't get caught up in running the ball 854 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 3: too much, which is just a less efficient way to 855 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 3: play football. They need to be, you know, getting down 856 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 3: and cook on a perimeter, involvement in the passing game, 857 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 3: and being aggressive with their with their two receiving game 858 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 3: weapons on early downs. 859 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely attack the defensive weakness. Don't just run the ball 860 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 2: to run the ball. All right. Now, we take a 861 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 2: look at Monday night football. We got a nice little 862 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 2: matchup here, Saints are visiting the Panthers. Opened up as 863 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 2: Saints minus seven. That's moved down. Saints are now six 864 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: point favorites. The over under has really been in a 865 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 2: free fall open that fifty four points all the way 866 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 2: down to forty nine and a half. Check out. The 867 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 2: weather looks like it's fine. So interested to hear your 868 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 2: thoughts on the line and what may have been causing 869 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 2: this's a big drop and the over under. 870 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, there's been a couple of teams, 871 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 3: I think New Orleans, Carolina and Tampa Bay, all those 872 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 3: teams out in the NFC South been kind of playing 873 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 3: their unders a lot lately. They've generally been hitting and 874 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 3: been the sharper play and for New Ones, you know, 875 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 3: we talked about this last week. Seventeen points or less 876 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 3: allowed on defense five games straight. That's the longest streak 877 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 3: since two thousand and six. So they're playing really well 878 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 3: on defense and on the other side of the ball. 879 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 3: Since mark Ingram came back, they really morphed into an 880 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 3: extremely run heavy team. I mean, they're right up there 881 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 3: with Seattle for the most rushes in the league. They're 882 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 3: averaging just twenty eight point eight pass attempts and thirty 883 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 3: three point one rushing attempts since mark Ingram returned in 884 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 3: Week five. So that's amazing that in this day and 885 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 3: age in the NFL, when we're talking about the highest 886 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 3: scoring year ever and the most passing touchdowns and all 887 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 3: these passing numbers and all that, we have the Saints 888 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 3: one of the best offenses in the league. Since Week five, 889 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 3: they are running the ball essentially four or five times. 890 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: A game more then they're throwing it. 891 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 3: And that if the Saints aren't going aren't efficient like 892 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 3: we saw against the Cowboys, if they stumble, or even 893 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 3: if they don't which we saw kind of against the 894 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 3: Bucks where they kind of stumbled early and then they 895 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 3: came back late, they have a good enough defense to 896 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 3: kind of hold this game under the total, whereas that 897 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 3: really hasn't been a case for them in a lot 898 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 3: of other spots. And they are on the road, so 899 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 3: we know the offense not quite as great on the 900 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 3: road in a lot of these spots. So I still 901 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 3: do like the under. I played it at under fifty 902 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 3: and a half, though, so I mean it's kind of 903 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 3: free falling to the point where I could easily see 904 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 3: it see it going over at this number. But Carolina 905 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 3: is a good run defense mentioned that before, and that's 906 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 3: one thing against the Saints. You know, they're a team, though, 907 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 3: I think that they will be more aggressive if they 908 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 3: need to. I think I could see them kind of 909 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 3: using the tight end position in this game. Carolina is 910 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 3: struggling against the tight end all season long on the interior. 911 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 3: And now I kind of want to ask you this 912 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 3: because I know you do the article on the wide 913 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 3: receiver verse cornerback every week and you always have a 914 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 3: really great insight into these different matchups. So I noticed 915 00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 3: that Carolina is number five entering this week in Dvoa 916 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 3: against number one wideouts, and they're number thirty two, dead 917 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 3: last against number two. So anytime I see that, I 918 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 3: wonder I kind of think if there's like some scheming 919 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 3: going on or not. Any thoughts just on that kind 920 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 3: of you know, for Michael Thomas, because he's obviously going 921 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 3: to play a major factor in DFS on this lag 922 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 3: and and just in this game in general. 923 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting spot because, to be honest with you, young, 924 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: as bad as his past defense is, I really don't 925 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 2: hate the Panthers cornerbacks that much. I think it's their 926 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 2: pass rush is kind of the bigger issue. Here. But 927 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 2: what that said, I mean, you know, I can't talk 928 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: them up too much with the way they've been playing, 929 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 2: but expecting James Bradberry to be shadowing Michael Thomas. He's 930 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 2: their bigger cornerback that they typically have signed on, the larger, 931 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: bigger body number one. And they got Dante Jackson, who's 932 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 2: a rookie but four to three to two I was 933 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: impressing earlier in the year. He'll probably be on tray 934 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 2: Kwon Smith. But I mean, just from looking at the 935 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 2: numbers man, you would assume here that you know, Bradberry's 936 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 2: kind of taking the one and they're shifting the safety 937 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 2: help over based on Jackson's you know beat I just mentioned. 938 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,240 Speaker 2: He is the type of cornerback that you'd be okay 939 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 2: with leaving on an island because you trusted him to, 940 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: you know, not be able to keep everything in front 941 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 2: of him and not have guys who run right by him. 942 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 2: Now I know for a fact he saw Antonio Brown 943 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 2: run right by him. And he's not the fastest receiver 944 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 2: in the league. Some people are our company might not 945 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 2: even call him the top. 946 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 3: Twenty two ohearan must be enjoying what Brown didn't clear. 947 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: He got the touchdown, but he didn't clear fifty yards. 948 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: I think he had. He was on my forty nine 949 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: yards so free enjoying. 950 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 2: Only a second time since last year both Ab and 951 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 2: Giju under fifty. That was wild, but uh yeah, man 952 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: interesting here. So so basically the question is Trey Kuan Smith, 953 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 2: is he going to roast the Panthers terrible defense against 954 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 2: the wide receiver twos or well, these absolutely insane homo 955 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 2: waste splits persist. 956 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what the deal with the 957 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 3: Homer wasteplits with Smith is. I think, you know, Vienna 958 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 3: at home is always ideal for your passing game from 959 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 3: a protection standpoint, and for I guess letting someone your 960 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 3: deeper routes developed further down the field, which is really 961 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,720 Speaker 3: where Smith has been making his hay as far as fantasy. 962 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: But at this point, I think the Saints are pretty 963 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 3: comfortable kind of involving all of their receivers, and I 964 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 3: would think that if we see any type of extra 965 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 3: attention given to Thomas, I think it will kind of 966 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 3: be a collective effort. I think they'll definitely go at 967 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 3: you know, single coverage of Smith is getting singled up. 968 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 3: But I think you'll also see a lot of them 969 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 3: attacking with those tight ends, because that's really where Caroline 970 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 3: has been, you know, kind of willing to give up 971 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 3: plays on defense. 972 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: They ranked number. 973 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 3: Thirty in the league in DVA against the tight end position, 974 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 3: and we've seen we've seen a lot of tight ands 975 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 3: have huge games against him. So I'm looking at Daniel Arnold, 976 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 3: the undrafted rookie who they kind of put in the games. 977 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 3: He's a receiving specialist, and it's Ben Watson's kind of 978 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 3: faded out a little bit down the stretch become a 979 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 3: lot less consistent. Dan Arnold has really been the reason 980 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 3: why I remember coming a couple of weeks ago, coming 981 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 3: into the game on Thanksgiving, he was actually over a 982 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 3: three week stretch, you know, right there, number three, him 983 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 3: and Kirk would number three and four in air yards 984 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 3: on the team. So I think, I think you're going 985 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 3: to kind of continue to see a group effort, which 986 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 3: is a little frustrating for fantasy and especially for these 987 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 3: one game DF escalates because it's kind of it's fun 988 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 3: in the way that there are a bunch of options 989 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 3: as far as you know, tournament plays and contrarian plays, 990 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 3: but it's almost like too many at times where I mean, 991 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 3: I you know, when I'm writing these things up, I'm 992 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: literally going through everything. I'm like, Okay, well, you know, 993 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 3: Tommy Lee Lewis might just get a target and it 994 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 3: might just don't like it could be anybody. I mean, 995 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 3: you have to pay attention to who's even active. So 996 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 3: I kind of think it's going to be difficult to 997 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 3: nail down, but I would I'm looking at the tight 998 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 3: ends first in this in this spot because that's just 999 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 3: where the matchup kind of tells you to go. And 1000 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 3: the Saint Sean Payton are a pretty savvy team in 1001 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 3: that regard in terms of attacking matchups, so I think 1002 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 3: I'm I'm just gonna kind of take my chances with them. 1003 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 3: But I think Kirk would be involved. I think Smith 1004 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 3: has a chance to make a big play as well. 1005 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 2: Yeah he said it with the actors and actors, I mean, yeah, 1006 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 2: it looks like Dan Arnold was kind of becoming that 1007 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 2: receiving first tight end for them, and then all of 1008 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 2: a sudden he was a healthy scratcher last week. Could 1009 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 2: have been more of a matchup base than kind of 1010 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 2: going to that. I mean, maybe not a match up 1011 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,399 Speaker 2: more weather based, I think because they're going that real 1012 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 2: sloppy Tampa Bay game. 1013 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, was was he a healthy, healthy scratch? 1014 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: I thought he was. 1015 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 2: He might have be banged up a little bit. 1016 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was banged up in practice and 1017 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 3: he was definitely I think on the injury report, I 1018 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 3: want to say, yeah, like he could have played and 1019 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 3: they chose to hold him out. So yeah, like he's 1020 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 3: a guy actually do have to make sure he's active, 1021 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 3: But he's active. 1022 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: I would expect him to be active this week. 1023 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 3: He would be the guy I'm looking at first, like 1024 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 3: if you look at the last three weeks, you know, 1025 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 3: Arnold when he was active, you know, twenty percent share 1026 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 3: of the air yards in Kirkwood nineteen percent. So these 1027 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 3: couple of guys here seemed to be the guys that 1028 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 3: they want to involve the most down the stretch that 1029 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,280 Speaker 3: they're trying to kind of get ready for the playoffs. 1030 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 3: Noticed that a couple of weeks ago in the Dallas 1031 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 3: game where it was Kamara Ingram, Thomas and Smith and 1032 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 3: then the only two other players that got targeted outside 1033 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 3: of those two were Kirkwood and Arnold. 1034 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: So you know those just you know, for whatever reason, 1035 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: seemed to be the guys. 1036 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,240 Speaker 3: Josh Hills plays a lot of snaps, not really seeing 1037 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 3: many many targets, so it's kind of it's kind of 1038 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 3: tough because he's the guy you'd probably look to in 1039 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 3: this matchup, but tends to end up blocking more often 1040 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 3: than not. So I think it's Watson is probably a 1041 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 3: sneakier play just because he's when he's in the game, 1042 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,919 Speaker 3: he's another guy that's going to be in the game 1043 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 3: to do one thing, catch the football. 1044 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, you said it, Josh Hills. They're blocking guys, So yeah, 1045 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: we'll make sure you're following at fans Labs NFL and 1046 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 2: we'll get all those actives and actives out the second 1047 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 2: they're available to the public, and you know, any guys 1048 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 2: like Dan Arnold that are relevant to DFS and maybe 1049 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: scratched or inactive, we will let you know. Chris thoughts 1050 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 2: here on Kamara versus Ingram real quick, just I mean, 1051 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 2: it seems like that Kamara is basically kind of taken 1052 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 2: over as a sixty forty guy as kind of compared 1053 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 2: to their fifty to fifty split for kind of middle 1054 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 2: part of last season. But you know, they have been 1055 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, run the ball so much more since 1056 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 2: both of them have been available. So I mean, this 1057 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 2: is a viable spot for Ingram on the road and 1058 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 2: it's tougher matchup or do you think Kamar is just 1059 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 2: I mean, definitely the way to go. 1060 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 3: I think it's a viable spot for Ingram because the 1061 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 3: Saints are again with them playing so well on defense, 1062 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 3: it kind creates a situation where, more often they not, 1063 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 3: they end up in positive games script. Positive game script 1064 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 3: tends to favor Ingram because when they get behind, Kamara 1065 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 3: is generally the guy they want out there just for 1066 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 3: matchup purposes. It gives the defense a lot more to 1067 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 3: worry about and in terms of coverages, and so it's 1068 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 3: tough to take him off the field when when you 1069 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: absolutely need a score. Sometimes they end up putting both 1070 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 3: of them on the field. But when you have a 1071 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 3: lead and then you need somebody to run between the tackles. 1072 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 3: Now again, Carolina a very good run defense number one 1073 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 3: in the league and adjusted lineyards per rush that just 1074 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,399 Speaker 3: three point four eight per rush. But you know, it's 1075 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,399 Speaker 3: it's tough to predict. But I think this is still 1076 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 3: a good spot for Ingram. Like I have them as 1077 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 3: a you know, kind of a low end RB two 1078 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 3: fancy this week, and I think he the tough thing 1079 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 3: for him is just that he's not supplementing his rushing 1080 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 3: production because he's getting double digit carries because of the 1081 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 3: how run heavy it is, but he's just not supplementing 1082 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 3: it with nearly as much passing game volume as we've 1083 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 3: seen out of him in the past, particularly last year 1084 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 3: when his target share was thirteen percent. This year it's 1085 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 3: sitting here around eight percent. So that's kind of been 1086 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,320 Speaker 3: what's made him so volatile on a week two week basis. 1087 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,959 Speaker 3: This is a week where you think they would throw 1088 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,439 Speaker 3: it a little bit more, maybe to the back because 1089 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 3: Caroline is a good rundy, Maybe you kind of use 1090 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 3: the passing game, in the short passing game even more 1091 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 3: as an extension of the run game. 1092 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: But Ingram is definitely a viable spot. 1093 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 3: And he's also like the leverage play on Camara and 1094 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 3: pretty much the whole offense because he's generally the guy 1095 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 3: that if he's running it in for a touchdown, it's 1096 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: not good for Breeze, it's not good for Thomas, not 1097 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 3: good for Kamaras. So he's kind of that one guy 1098 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 3: that when he's cooking you kind of have leverage on 1099 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 3: some of the other saying who are usually a little 1100 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: bit higher on. 1101 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 2: Definitely a big leverage player on these single game slates 1102 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 2: for sure. All Right, so let's look at the Panthers offense. Now, 1103 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 2: we know McCaffrey is you know, he's playing ninety five 1104 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 2: percent snapch this year. It's it's crazy, he's locked in 1105 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 2: three down feature guy. We also know Ian Thomas, he's 1106 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 2: really come in taken over for Greg Olsen as that 1107 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 2: three down guy, and seen him kind of be using 1108 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 2: that same receiving way a bunch of snaps in the 1109 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 2: slot and out wide. The question with Carolina is these 1110 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 2: wide receivers. I've seen the prop market of these last 1111 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 2: few weeks really be thrown off in terms of, you know, 1112 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 2: they just got Devin Funchs back, they just got Tory 1113 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 2: Smith back. But we've had these two games now with 1114 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 2: all these guys healthy, and we've seen Curtis, Samuel and 1115 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 2: DJ Moore just really emerge as the top two guys. 1116 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 2: This is also coincided a little bit with you know, 1117 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 2: this losing street Theron not playing great ball. But I mean, 1118 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 2: I personally, I think Samuel and more are their two 1119 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 2: best options. It should be the guys out there. Do 1120 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 2: you consider them that these top two receivers and the 1121 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 2: top two guys to kind of target in the passing game? 1122 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Uh, you know a lot of places I 1123 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 3: see it, he has have more like a way ahead 1124 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 3: of Samuel. I personally can't project it that way when 1125 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,879 Speaker 3: I look at it. It's hard to kind of find 1126 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 3: a rhyme or reason to project any like one of 1127 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 3: them significantly ahead of the other. The Saints do like 1128 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 3: to play man coverage, if I'm not mistaken, So I 1129 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 3: think more we'll get his chances on Ei Apple all 1130 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 3: those guys kind of wrote they all can play the slot, 1131 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 3: so you know, Samuel addmore, both can can play in 1132 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 3: the slot and we'll move around. So I think they'll 1133 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 3: both get some shots at PJ. 1134 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: Williams. I like the spot for both of them. 1135 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 3: I don't pretend to know, you know, which one is 1136 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 3: going to definitely like we'll have a huge game or not. 1137 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 3: But I think both of them kind of have in 1138 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 3: my eyes a similar outlook, and it's it's a good outlook, 1139 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 3: especially in a game like this where New Orleans may 1140 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,959 Speaker 3: end up, you know, putting up one of the higher 1141 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 3: point totals on Carolina that we've seen this year, which 1142 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 3: you know, we know Carolina likes to run the ball. 1143 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 3: Cam Newton hasn't been one hundred percent lately, not necessarily 1144 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 3: taken as many of the shots downfield, which is another 1145 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 3: reason I think that that under is getting smashed when 1146 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 3: it opened that fifty four. So I think this is 1147 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 3: a spot for for more and for Sam who to 1148 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 3: both eat. I mean, do you think, you know, do 1149 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 3: you think that is going to kind of be relegated 1150 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 3: to this this role now because I know when he 1151 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 3: first came back and he was playing kind of the 1152 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 3: abbreviated snaps is around like forty percent er, so he 1153 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 3: was coming off an injury, but then he had a 1154 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 3: second game in a row of that, So you think 1155 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 3: it's going to kind of go forward like that. And 1156 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 3: do you think Jerry's right continues to see time in 1157 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,359 Speaker 3: the slot as well, because he's he's actually been out 1158 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 3: there more than Funschius and he would have that good 1159 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 3: matchup in the slot. 1160 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 2: Then yeah, I've actually I've heard a few rumblings like 1161 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 2: could Functions even be on the team next year? And 1162 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 2: oh man, I mean I think he's better, obviously better 1163 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 2: than Kelvin Benjamin, but he is that similar kind of 1164 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 2: just bigger body, physical type of receiver we've been harpening 1165 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 2: on all year. And to really see them make that 1166 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 2: shift to Samuel and more just more dynamic guys. I mean, 1167 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 2: Panthers are really unique and how much they use their 1168 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 2: wide receivers kind of orbit motion and that unique run 1169 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 2: game they have with Camon McCaffrey already. So I think 1170 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 2: having samuelin more out there makes I'M a lot more 1171 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 2: dangerous and they can attack a lot of different angles 1172 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 2: bunches is helpful. I mean, it's not bad to have 1173 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 2: these guys. You know. We even saw the Chiefs, you know, 1174 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 2: using Benjamin in a decent way the other night. But 1175 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 2: uh yeah, man and Jerry's right, it seems like he's 1176 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 2: the slot guy, but sam and Moore can do that 1177 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 2: as well. It really does seem like that, you know, 1178 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: they're kind of head and shoulders above these other guys. 1179 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 2: It's more of a two wide receivers than three or four. 1180 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1181 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 3: I think the thing about functions and especially for like 1182 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 3: the one game slate, is that the best place to 1183 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 3: use him is in the red zone. And so that's 1184 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 3: something I think you still have to look out for 1185 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 3: when when you're making these rosters and taking the consideration 1186 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 3: is that Funches could end up just playing a red 1187 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 3: zone role in AI a high scoring game even though 1188 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 3: the over runners going down still kind of you know, 1189 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 3: around fifty, so you know he can still factor in. 1190 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 1: But I agree, I think, you. 1191 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 3: Know, we have been talking about this all year, and 1192 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 3: it's good to see, you know, North Turner kind of 1193 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 3: realizing that, is that in this day and age, with 1194 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,360 Speaker 3: the way the rules are going and the limitations placed 1195 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 3: on defensive backs and what they can and can't do 1196 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 3: and coverage and with their hands and all that, it's 1197 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 3: really opened the game up for these faster, shifty, or 1198 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 3: quicker type of wide receivers to flourish at the expense 1199 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 3: of some of these bigger guys that can't get in 1200 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 3: and out of their breaks fast enough. And you know, 1201 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 3: we saw we see Benjamin go from and I'm sure 1202 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,399 Speaker 3: the ACL had something to do with it, among other things, 1203 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 3: but you know, we saw him kind of go from 1204 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 3: assaut after kind of rookie on the ascent to a 1205 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,280 Speaker 3: guy who just is almost a joke at this point. 1206 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 3: And I think I tweeted a couple of weeks ago, 1207 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 3: Josh Allen throwing to to Kelvin Benjamin that was one 1208 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 3: of the big reasons his passing numbers looked really atrocious 1209 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 3: early on, you know, targeting Benjamin with to blame for 1210 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 3: a lot of that. And I think you're starting to see, 1211 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 3: you know, without Benjamin Air the last couple of games 1212 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 3: as that kind of number one, number two guy. Even 1213 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 3: Allen's been a lot more efficient in the past game 1214 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 3: over there in Buffalo, you know, he's hitting Robert Foster 1215 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,839 Speaker 3: and getting Kenzie involved and say Jones and whatnot. So 1216 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 3: these bigger receivers have to kind of reinvent themselves, and 1217 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,879 Speaker 3: maybe they going forward. They are just kind of more situational, 1218 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 3: situationally used players. I mean, I think the NFL is 1219 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 3: because of the way the rules are going and the 1220 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 3: teams are getting smarter and the way the game is 1221 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 3: starting to be played. I think we could start to 1222 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 3: see a lot of different changes going forward in terms 1223 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 3: of how players are used, and we might see more 1224 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 3: of these like red zone specialists pop up and more 1225 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 3: of these smaller Tyreek hill archetype number one wide receivers 1226 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 3: instead of your classic des Bryant. 1227 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there'll always be room for the bigger 1228 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 2: body of receivers in the red zone when the windows 1229 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 2: are you know, just naturally smaller. But yeah, man, I 1230 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 2: think we're seeing kind of like a basketball s revolution 1231 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 2: where I mean the receivers, you know, we keep every 1232 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 2: week there's like kind of a defenseless receiver penalty where 1233 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 2: they basically have the ball, and it's like, how you 1234 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 2: call that? But you know, it's not the you see 1235 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 2: the safeties these days. I mean, it's not the head 1236 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 2: Hunter League. It was even like ten years ago. And 1237 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,840 Speaker 2: you know, I think those smaller receivers had trouble surviving 1238 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 2: in the older days when it was so much more 1239 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 2: physical and you know, same thing with kind of Steph 1240 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 2: Curry and some of these smaller basketball players and maybe 1241 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 2: couldn't have thried as much back in the day without 1242 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 2: the same kind of medical advances and just generally you know, 1243 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,800 Speaker 2: having the less physicalities. So well, I'm definitely interested to 1244 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 2: see how this kind of evolves over the next few years. 1245 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 3: I will get Steph Curry credit though, because the one 1246 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 3: thing about Steph he worked for for his kind of 1247 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 3: renewed durability, his balances and yeah, so what he started 1248 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 3: doing was a lot more deadlifting and really building his 1249 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 3: core and his base and you know, his legs up 1250 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 3: to a lot of you know, athletes doing something as 1251 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 3: simple as weightlifting optimally, and Steph kind of really made 1252 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 3: an effort to kind of improve the power in his 1253 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 3: lower body. And I think that showed even into the 1254 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 3: shooting range where he could comfortably pull up now from 1255 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,319 Speaker 3: thirty thirty five feet out. 1256 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: But different, different time, different for it. 1257 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 3: But yeah, man, definitely definitely see what you're saying here 1258 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 3: as far as the basketball kind of position was switch 1259 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 3: and positions going to change up. 1260 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,840 Speaker 2: So you're saying maybe one of the league's best and 1261 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 2: most dynamic young receivers who does some like water that 1262 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 2: I could have an impact on his performance. 1263 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's you know, it's crazy. 1264 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 3: I would going back to kind of just in general 1265 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 3: want was I wanted to bring this up, but like 1266 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,240 Speaker 3: we do all this handicapping and kind of forecasting, and 1267 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 3: I came across an article this week on ESPN. I'm 1268 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 3: sure a lot of people heard about already about Joe 1269 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 3: King Noah, and he was talking he was on a 1270 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 3: podcast talking about I guess why why everything went wrong 1271 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 3: with the Knicks, and he's saying, hey, I was just 1272 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,479 Speaker 3: too lit like I was, or I would leave every 1273 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 3: game and I have like sixty people with me and 1274 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 3: they would be in my house and we party and 1275 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,799 Speaker 3: they were like, but didn't you party in Chicago too? 1276 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,760 Speaker 1: He say, yeah, but you we recover faster. 1277 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 3: So it kind of essentially what he's saying is drinking 1278 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 3: hard and partying hard every night. You know, it's tough 1279 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 3: to recover and get up for a game. And I 1280 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 3: just kind of wonder how much, you know. 1281 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: It's tough. 1282 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 3: We can never really quantify it, but I just wonder 1283 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 3: how much that factors into these NFL games as well, 1284 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 3: because you know, situations like, for example, Patriots always struggling 1285 00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 3: in Miami. 1286 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: I mean that's Miami year. 1287 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 3: You're you're, you're, you're in Foxborough in the winter, and 1288 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 3: then you get like, you know, they usually go to 1289 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,319 Speaker 3: Miami late in the year, and you just wonder, you know, 1290 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 3: how much things like that are kind of factoring in. 1291 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 3: And we sometimes we break it down it we're just 1292 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,800 Speaker 3: like puzzled by a certain team or a certain situation, 1293 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 3: like why do they play so bad? And you know, 1294 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 3: we can look at it as much as we want, 1295 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 3: but I feel like there's a certain percentage of a 1296 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 3: time where it's just something that's like something very human 1297 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 3: and not at all statistically related, that just people are 1298 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 3: hungover or they just didn't have a good week of 1299 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,919 Speaker 3: preparation in whatever way, shape or form. 1300 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 2: We need the Raiders to get respectable fast so we 1301 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 2: can those uh Vegas. 1302 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I just I didn't even think of that. 1303 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 3: There's gonna be so many routines that are just yeah, 1304 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 3: they're gonna be like you know, ten in one against 1305 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 3: the rest of the league, and like oh and whatever 1306 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 3: against the Raiders, and when they go to Vegas. 1307 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 2: There's yeah, there's a wild trend with the Vegas Knights. 1308 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 2: Last year, teams that like basically had a night before 1309 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 2: playing them in Vegas for just getting smacked against the 1310 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 2: spread obviously found out the night were kind of in 1311 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 2: a class of their own for a lot of the year. 1312 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 2: But definitely something to think about. All right, there's no 1313 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 2: Thursday Night football this week. We had a couple more 1314 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 2: Saturday games, so make sure it tuned into the weeks 1315 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 2: later podcasts and we'll go over those. So we're gonna 1316 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 2: wrap things up here with our weekly bet. Last week 1317 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 2: we had the Viking Seahawks game that was three nothing 1318 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 2: after three quarters. Uh, wasn't the best one to bet on. 1319 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 2: Chris took the over. 1320 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 1321 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:31,640 Speaker 2: The Viking offensive coordinatort fired after the game, so I 1322 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 2: will need to go into that. I took the Seahawks 1323 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 2: minus three. I mean, it wasn't all that pretty. Chris 1324 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 2: had Russ Wilson. Man, I'm pretty sure I took Chris Carson, 1325 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 2: but I think you had Diggs. 1326 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean, anyone had more points than Russ Wilson. 1327 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 2: I think right, No, Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, I 1328 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:47,920 Speaker 2: might have had Digs, though that does. 1329 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: Sound you definitely had. 1330 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 3: I think you're like you can have feeling and I 1331 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:57,600 Speaker 3: was trying to be contrarian and all right, anyway, I'm 1332 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 3: regressing to the mean after a hot start, and I 1333 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 3: think you got first pick this week too. 1334 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. We got Saints minus six 1335 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 2: and the over unders forty nine and a half. I'm 1336 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 2: gonna take your sharp move here and take the under. 1337 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not down too low already, but uh, yeah, 1338 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 2: I'll go under here. I think, like you said, I mean, 1339 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 2: Saints have the look of you know, this high octating 1340 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 2: pass offense, which they can definitely be, but you know 1341 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,919 Speaker 2: they're gonna run the ball and against this Panthers team 1342 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 2: that we have seen and dunking and duncan more and more, 1343 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,919 Speaker 2: could end up being a sneaky, low scoring game. 1344 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: I like it. 1345 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 3: I like it. That's that's what I would have taken 1346 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 3: for for my pick. I will go with the you 1347 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 3: know it's not six now, there there was value in 1348 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 3: it open. I think at six, I think I'm going Saints. 1349 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 3: You know, I think it was a little more value. 1350 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 3: It got got beat down a bit, but I'm going 1351 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 3: with the Saints here. I think they're still rolling out. 1352 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 3: I just don't think Carolina is quite right. They've lost 1353 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 3: a ton of one score of games, but this is 1354 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 3: a this is a Saints team that they can't throw 1355 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 3: on you, you know, just because they are a run heavy team. 1356 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 3: They could throw in you and if they need to. 1357 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 3: And that's that's really been Carolina's weakness. And I expect 1358 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 3: this thanks to be able to keep on rolling. And 1359 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 3: I'm really kind of worried about Carolina's offense. If Cam 1360 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 3: Newton's not one hundred. 1361 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 2: For sure, and I mean we've seen him on that 1362 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 2: injured report all season with the shoulder. They're talking about 1363 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 2: potential offseason surgery. Definitely not all right, he thinks would 1364 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 2: be the highest scoring player. 1365 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Kamara. I mean, he's just I'm just 1366 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 3: gonna the best player on the field. I know, I 1367 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 3: know Thomas kind of has a little better on paper matchup, 1368 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 3: but it's never been about on paper with Kamara. So 1369 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just I'm just go with the upside. 1370 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to go on the other side of the 1371 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,920 Speaker 2: ball and go Cam Newton. Hope, hope for some of 1372 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 2: that RB one Russian production he's given us in the past. 1373 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 2: Haven't seen him getting the end zone for a while. 1374 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 2: Hoping to see him give us that little Superman selly 1375 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 2: that we've grown the love over the years, and hopefully 1376 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 2: he'll score more than Kamara. All Right, everyone, thank you 1377 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 2: for listening. Mix Sure tune in later this week for 1378 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 2: the Daily Fantasy Flex and of course, the ultimate Weekly 1379 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 2: Breakdown with Chris and Matt Chris Mann. 1380 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 1: Any last words, let's get dish money.
