Speaker 1: I am Greg Reggae. What's going on Monday Reggae Wacky
Speaker 1: Wild Fun Week four teen depends on you know which
Speaker 1: side of the uh Marie Cooper coin you were on.
Speaker 1: But man, crazy crazy Week from the Miracle in Miami
Speaker 1: or whatever you wanna call it. Kenyan Drake, what do
Speaker 1: you know? All he needs is all he needs is
Speaker 1: to be part of some crazy lateral play in order
Speaker 1: to meet his fantasy value from that. Patrick mahomes nobok past,
Speaker 1: not just the noble past, like down the field, fourth down.
Speaker 1: I mean that game was ridiculous. A lot of crazy games,
Speaker 1: a lot of huge performances, a lot of dud performances
Speaker 1: that will get into greggy. Um, how was your weekend?
Speaker 1: How was your fantasy Sunday? Like fantasy twoferent questions, but um, my, basically,
Speaker 1: how is your Sunday? Okay, fair enough my Sunday? Man,
Speaker 1: it was a roller coaster ride. It was a roller
Speaker 1: coaster ride. So we were meeting with the rabbi, like
Speaker 1: for the wet for our future weddings. We were in Philly,
Speaker 1: so we were meeting with a rabbi and that means
Speaker 1: supposed to be twelve and twelve thirty, No big deal.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know he's late. So I started at
Speaker 1: twelve fifteen and went from twelve fifteen and one o'clock
Speaker 1: or really one fifteen, and I was like, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So we get back to Judy's house and she's like,
Speaker 1: just do whatever you have to do. Is like the
Speaker 1: giants in the Big TV, a red zone on the laptop,
Speaker 1: and I'm setting up okay, So I'm I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: just sending up. They don't have red zone at her house,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't be so so I'm sending up. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at what I missed, Like, alright, cool Cameram Greight touchdown.
Speaker 1: Nice um my opponent in my home league, like he
Speaker 1: got a touchdown from somebody. I gotta devapt Adams touchdown
Speaker 1: was all right, So like pretty even right now. But
Speaker 1: it's like I feel okay. I I feel okay. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, sei kwan boom, se kwon boom, Like things
Speaker 1: are going well, things are going well. Andrew Luck had
Speaker 1: a really nice second half, and I'm like, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: really good, feeling really good. And then before the I
Speaker 1: so I gotta give Scotty credit, like I used to
Speaker 1: kill Scott and he's like, I don't look when I
Speaker 1: don't look at my magic with seven o'clock, I don't
Speaker 1: look at my matchup. I try not to look my
Speaker 1: match up till four o'clock, and like, I know what's
Speaker 1: going on. I know who my opponent has. D I
Speaker 1: have like eight tads open with every life story at
Speaker 1: so I know who my opponent has like inherently, but
Speaker 1: I don't look at the matchup because I don't want
Speaker 1: to like be down or you know, I just don't
Speaker 1: want to. It's like a superstitious thing. I get it exactly,
Speaker 1: so I try to not do it to like the
Speaker 1: four o'clock games. That's like my my thing. So the
Speaker 1: four the four five games kick off, and I have
Speaker 1: a lot of points. I have like ninety points or
Speaker 1: something like that. I'm projected for, I believe of the time,
Speaker 1: like one thirty three. Like that's it's pretty good. That's
Speaker 1: not bad. My opponent, though, was projected for like one
Speaker 1: thirty four or something like that, like one thirty. I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, that's close. I'm playing Jeff actually, Jeff
Speaker 1: the Jet fan, Jeff the Jet fan. Oh man, this
Speaker 1: is by the way it was, you know, this is
Speaker 1: this is where screen today. I am exactly, this is
Speaker 1: really close. Next thing, I know, I'm just looking at
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my phone and we got reads it
Speaker 1: on the computers. It's a little later than the one
Speaker 1: on the TV. So I look at my phone and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, train goes from three points the
Speaker 1: fourteen point two, and I was like what. And then
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Chargers game up on that Charger game,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game on my TV, and they go, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna do what just happened in the Dolphins game.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what happened? What happened? You know what? I
Speaker 1: wanted to show it to you right now. So they
Speaker 1: show it on the TV before Red Zone shows it,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like losing my mind, you know, losing control.
Speaker 1: And this is great. So now projected for a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty six points and he's at one thirty. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is good. I'm feeling good. So then we eat dinner,
Speaker 1: we have your early dinner. Is I gotta come back
Speaker 1: from Philly. So we get on the train. Is at
Speaker 1: a six fifty seven train. Now watching reds on my phone,
Speaker 1: so I have it the end of the West Coast game, right,
Speaker 1: and the four o'clock games on the West Coast games.
Speaker 1: At the end of the four o'clock games, those are
Speaker 1: the West Coast games. No, no, not not always, but fine, yeah,
Speaker 1: end of the fourth end of the four o'clock games,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching on my phone and the Detroit defense,
Speaker 1: who was great yesterday? I scored a touchdown, like and
Speaker 1: that was a point where this dickhead texted me congrats
Speaker 1: up and at that time everything flipped the scrap and
Speaker 1: at that time Big Ben was out. He had Big
Speaker 1: Ben and he had Juju, and I'm like, okay, alright,
Speaker 1: I hate when people do that. I hate when yeah,
Speaker 1: Big Ben Juju, Philip Lindsay, like his entire team was
Speaker 1: going at that time, and there's people you know who
Speaker 1: you are if you do that, Like if you're losing
Speaker 1: in a matchup and you think you're gonna lose and
Speaker 1: you text the opponent congrats on your win. It's just
Speaker 1: like so in one of my so my one, my other,
Speaker 1: my other league, one of the Max, like the reverse
Speaker 1: jinx is like a bit that everybody does, everybody does it,
Speaker 1: but this really like I think he was actually texting
Speaker 1: me like congrats, like hope, even like Ben was out,
Speaker 1: like he had no shot and I'm just watching, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Moore, Josh Dodgs, Josh Dobbs, Josh Dobs couldn't
Speaker 1: do anything. So I'm feeling great. And then the freaking
Speaker 1: Raiders go down and score and it's they just don't
Speaker 1: score at all. I feel great, Rembers, they go down
Speaker 1: at score, then of course it was back. There's a
Speaker 1: touchdown of Juju was like, oh my god, here we go.
Speaker 1: Here we freaking go. But my kickers, like my Badgeland,
Speaker 1: he just keeps taking field goals and like this is awesome.
Speaker 1: So I was gop like six points at the time. Right,
Speaker 1: the freaking Raiders score on fourth down and Derek Carrier
Speaker 1: and then they do all this stupid lateral place to Juju,
Speaker 1: And next thing I know, going into Sunday Night Football,
Speaker 1: I am up a tenth of a point. I have
Speaker 1: Robert Woods and he has Josh Reynolds and Sebastian Janikowski,
Speaker 1: and I'm up one tenth of a point going to
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. I'm like, all right, you know what
Speaker 1: I have. Robert Woods had the best receiver on this team,
Speaker 1: maybe outside Brandon, Like I feel fine, you know, like
Speaker 1: I know he's going to get the ball, and he did.
Speaker 1: He did seven rose sixty one like almost a standard.
Speaker 1: Robert was outing. Josh Reynolds finished with three for thirty six.
Speaker 1: I am up four point nine points going into tonight
Speaker 1: against Sebastian Janikowski, and I'm like, listen, if when scores
Speaker 1: a touchdown, it's over. Of course, kickers don't have marginal
Speaker 1: scoring or right, So if I would have been five,
Speaker 1: if I would be up five points at a four
Speaker 1: point nine one yard that's a huge, huge difference when
Speaker 1: it comes kicking. Now in my league, for plus the
Speaker 1: opposite of everything, So kicking scoring in my leagues all minimalized,
Speaker 1: So extra points are a point, right, All field goals
Speaker 1: are worth two points up until fifty, where it's worth
Speaker 1: three points. To a forty nine yard field goes only
Speaker 1: two points. I canna allow four points to take her
Speaker 1: to night to win, we need touchdowns, Russ, just touchdowns,
Speaker 1: nothing else, getting the end zone. Please, Well, good thing.
Speaker 1: You're playing against one of the most efficient offenses, right,
Speaker 1: Like he throws twenty times a game, but he has
Speaker 1: like three touchdowns every single time, So you just need
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and just continue onions. It's tougher, tougher defense
Speaker 1: against Minnesota, where you know in the red zone things
Speaker 1: could tighten up. So I'm just sitting here, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And that that was the story, like my homely that
Speaker 1: was like my back and forth story all day. Flex
Speaker 1: I was basically winning from getting the end so much
Speaker 1: so that Jake texted me being like, why don't your
Speaker 1: players always show up against me, you crushed the crushed him.
Speaker 1: I think the best. Really, Wait, what's that, Greg, You're
Speaker 1: you're advancing industry league. Well, you're you're advancing an instrue
Speaker 1: one that I don't go on with anybody record getting
Speaker 1: pretty close to closing the deal here, I'm doing my thing.
Speaker 1: That makes a little bit tougher. But you know, Sacon
Speaker 1: Barkley is special. He's do you think he's the number
Speaker 1: thinking about this? I was thinking about this. It's him
Speaker 1: ver Zeke, right, that's what has to be for number two. Next.
Speaker 1: Dad asked me that who I'd rather have? Zeer Barkley.
Speaker 1: You know, I think like schedule will come into play.
Speaker 1: Schedules are the same, That's true. I think like maybe
Speaker 1: you lean a little bit with the youth, but like
Speaker 1: Zeke is still super young too, So I'm only leaning
Speaker 1: towards Barkley because of the pass catching, because he can
Speaker 1: do that also. But here's the thing, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: tweeted about this yesterday. Drink Zeke has sixty five receptions
Speaker 1: about that he was targeted thirteen times, just at twelve
Speaker 1: receptions Ezekiel Elliott. He posted career highs, of course, in
Speaker 1: both targets and receptions. He's now on pace for eighty receptions.
Speaker 1: Greg this is a guy who a year ago we
Speaker 1: were wondering whether or not he gets forty he gets
Speaker 1: forty five passes. Now he's on pace for eighty and
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred targets as well. So and I know
Speaker 1: his uh Adam levitan Um does great work. Follow On,
Speaker 1: he tweeted this out that since Amari Cooper has joined
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Zekiel Ellett is averaging ten more PPR Fantasy
Speaker 1: points per game. So obviously we'll get into a Marii Cooper.
Speaker 1: And you know, for everyone who's bashing the Cowboys for
Speaker 1: giving up the first round pick, look, that's only if
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs. It was worth it by itself there,
Speaker 1: but based on what he's doing, how he's can completely transformed.
Speaker 1: You know, I had a little bit of fun last night.
Speaker 1: I tweeted out about, you know, what he's done in
Speaker 1: six games and what like his sixteen game pace would
Speaker 1: be based on what he's doing, It's over a hundred receptions,
Speaker 1: it's closest seventeen hundred yards, it's sixteen touchdowns. He's averaging
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. Yes, he had three yesterday but man,
Speaker 1: Marty Cooper, phenomenal. Great job. You know, you gotta give
Speaker 1: credit where it's doing. Great job to to Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys pulling the trigger on that. A lot
Speaker 1: of people were critical of the Cowboys for giving up
Speaker 1: a first round pick, but Marie Cooper out here ruining
Speaker 1: some people's fantasy seasons and helping others win fantasy championships.
Speaker 1: So great job by the Cowboys and a Mary Cooper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys last night against Philly, I'll give this Philly
Speaker 1: it right. They bent and didn't break, and they did
Speaker 1: score that touchdown with Dallas got it didn't count. Um,
Speaker 1: did you see the total team stats? I did. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys doubled the yardage that the put up put up.
Speaker 1: Not only that, they doubled the time of possession. The
Speaker 1: obvious big difference was, you know, the Cowboys turned the
Speaker 1: ball over a ton. I think Dak had two interceptions.
Speaker 1: I believe you had a fumble loss as well, So
Speaker 1: that's the difference in the game. But like, it's crazy
Speaker 1: to see how you can dominate time of possession and
Speaker 1: dominate yardage and a game could still be so close
Speaker 1: in then FFL just based on the turnover differential, which
Speaker 1: was the difference yesterday between the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: The Eagles did fight. Um, you know, they were huge.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of duds yesterday. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: some of these guys, but like Hurley let a lot
Speaker 1: of people down in that game, Cam Newton, zach Ertz
Speaker 1: Dallas got At some point, I'm wondering myself Zacher's hurt
Speaker 1: because Dallas Goddard just catching all these balls. He nearly
Speaker 1: had a second touchdown, which should have had a second
Speaker 1: to very much that he did his arms out that
Speaker 1: should have been That should have been a second touchdown. Um,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to rebi do this. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw this great yesterday. It was a
Speaker 1: quote after the game. It was from r J o
Speaker 1: Choa on Twitter between a MARII Cooper and Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: This is from mari Cooper. It's interesting because I actually
Speaker 1: had another stop route on that play. This is one
Speaker 1: of the long seventy five yard touchdowns he had, and
Speaker 1: they were if you were watching, really sitting on those
Speaker 1: stop routes, and I was like, this is ridiculous. So
Speaker 1: when I broke the huddle, I was kind of mad,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Dad, come on, and he was
Speaker 1: just like, just run it, bro, and I guess he
Speaker 1: thought about it again and he kind of signaled a
Speaker 1: go route and I was elated when he did that,
Speaker 1: and I took off and called the ball and scored,
Speaker 1: so basically going against all the play calling that Scotland
Speaker 1: Hand and the Cowboys had set up yesterday. And it's
Speaker 1: just awesome when we could see two young players like
Speaker 1: that saying like I see what a defense is doing.
Speaker 1: I know I can burn this guy, trust me, and
Speaker 1: in Dak putting his faith in a Mari Cooper and
Speaker 1: vice versa, and and it paying off huge time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was absolutely awesome for Mari Cooper owners.
Speaker 1: And I wrote them off for dead. We laughed the
Speaker 1: first round pick, as you said, Frank, and it's been
Speaker 1: worth it. It completely changed the offend. And again they
Speaker 1: have changed the offense in general right like it's now
Speaker 1: exactly what it should be. Zeke zi zi zz and
Speaker 1: then Mari, I, this is just the opense a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, where was zeke zi zi zi ze dead?
Speaker 1: Now ze zi zi zimri and it's well worth. And
Speaker 1: there was also Witten back then too, So that's true
Speaker 1: and it's just Zeke and now going in the next year,
Speaker 1: where is a Mari Cooper Because I'm sorry, I haven't
Speaker 1: serious because I thought about this too on the right interday,
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's going to be a Secon round pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper is going to be in the second round pick.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. I'm not I will say that now.
Speaker 1: I said that later. I'm chair last year and said
Speaker 1: I'm doing j Jones, I'm not Cooper. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: Cooper on the second round. I didn't sayone do it
Speaker 1: on the second round? I will. I think he'll be
Speaker 1: a second round pick. Really, so where's the guy? So
Speaker 1: where does Let's getting the ram because it was a
Speaker 1: huge heartbreak, like you said up, so where do guys
Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks, Robert Woods go? You're putting Mariy Cooper
Speaker 1: in the second round? Well, the the biggest difference is
Speaker 1: that Mari Cooper is one I understand, but it's an offense.
Speaker 1: It just wants to run the ball. They but it's
Speaker 1: still like he you see what the targets, He's definitely
Speaker 1: what happened to making of those targets. It's just like
Speaker 1: he doesn't have anyone to compete with in terms of targets,
Speaker 1: well outside of Zeke Elliott, No, who's getting thirteen targets.
Speaker 1: But you know, I would I think most people next year,
Speaker 1: especially given the Cowboys, like we see inflation in their
Speaker 1: in their in their betting spreads, in their lines. Because
Speaker 1: they're America's team, people are going to gravitate towards a
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper see what he did, especially depending on what
Speaker 1: he does to close out the season, and they're going
Speaker 1: to draft a Mariy Cooper over bothoth Rams wide receivers.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to say right now. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of things are gonna change. I mean, as
Speaker 1: of right now, I probably would. I probably would take
Speaker 1: a market because he's a legal, he's he's a guy
Speaker 1: who can win you. And but are they the Robert Woods?
Speaker 1: This comes down to what kind of draft you are.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Robert Woods. If you look at his
Speaker 1: game log has had sixty plus yards in every single
Speaker 1: game except for Week one this year. He's been incredibly consistent.
Speaker 1: He's right around you know, sixty to eighty yards, and
Speaker 1: if he gets you a touchdown, they ends up being
Speaker 1: that high end wide Tier two that week. Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: He's been solid as well for this team. But I
Speaker 1: just think what a Marie Cooper is showing right now
Speaker 1: is not only does he have a huge upside to
Speaker 1: win you fantasy matchups, he's had to say floor to break.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's given you these these Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 1: All right, he's gonna give you a thirty yard performance here,
Speaker 1: but then you get what you got yesterday to know
Speaker 1: he's been around, Like his floor is seventy five yards.
Speaker 1: That's pretty much where he's been at. So as of
Speaker 1: right now, it's very early with the Rams. Yesterday they
Speaker 1: go into Chicago and all I heard was the damn weather,
Speaker 1: Like whether whether that like god it it's cold, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't think Sean McVeigh called a very good game yesterday,
Speaker 1: like and we love everybody loves Sean McVeigh, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: I do too. He did not coachingod game yesterday at all.
Speaker 1: So you have to put some of the blame on
Speaker 1: Jared Goff as well, without question. But I'm sure Corey's
Speaker 1: gonna get into that too. But in the in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, in particular, Todd Gurley is picking up chunks
Speaker 1: of yards and they stopped going to them. They just
Speaker 1: didn't use it. They didn't use them. And I understand,
Speaker 1: and I understand he was getting stopped early on at
Speaker 1: the line, but there were times in that late third,
Speaker 1: early fourth quarter he was picking up chunks of yards.
Speaker 1: It was like, here we go, here we go. There's
Speaker 1: too many times where Sean mcveage falls in love with
Speaker 1: a play action that doesn't work if you're not running
Speaker 1: the ball. And obviously last night Jared Goff had no
Speaker 1: feel whatsoever for the ball and he missed wide open
Speaker 1: receivers Robert Woods, Brandon coach, Josh Reynolds multiple times. And
Speaker 1: that's when you have to utilize your Pro Bowl, all Star,
Speaker 1: all Pro whatever, all everything, all world, Todd Gurley and
Speaker 1: utilized the speed of Brandon Cooks with that quick outside
Speaker 1: outside screen. Utilize those Jets sweeps you use all season long.
Speaker 1: He didn't call one of them last night. Now he
Speaker 1: faded with Robert Woods like four different times, but he
Speaker 1: didn't call one of them. That's when you have to
Speaker 1: utilize that. When Jared Goff has no field and you
Speaker 1: saw it over and over and over again again last again,
Speaker 1: last night, last night night that GOV had no thing.
Speaker 1: There's our play. They deserve to win. But Schell McVeigh
Speaker 1: did not coach his best game yesterday. It looked like
Speaker 1: he got inside his own the head a little. I
Speaker 1: agree he was thinking about it too much in my
Speaker 1: home leave. We've talked about it all year. The little
Speaker 1: engine could it's still roaring. Can you drinking the lineup
Speaker 1: as well as of now? I'm down twelve Mike kerk
Speaker 1: Cousins versus his Stepdiggs. I don't feel great, but if
Speaker 1: Jiggs doesn't sport touched on, I have a tance taking
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be back come on next. Daily Roado

Speaker 1: frank Um, where's your next man? Where's your next? Well?
Speaker 1: I think we just kind of put a bowl on
Speaker 1: the Rams and Bears game. We talked a lot last week,
Speaker 1: and I got some tweets about this about the Bears
Speaker 1: defense and whether or not ue to use them against
Speaker 1: the Rams. It's not to bear his defense against anybody,
Speaker 1: especially when they're at home. They are the best defense
Speaker 1: by far this fantasy season, and said they're going to
Speaker 1: be the defense that's overdrafted next year, so again to
Speaker 1: be to be fair, right, like good spot for them.
Speaker 1: It was a cold you know, a cold night. They
Speaker 1: have bad lost the Giants last week, Like it kind
Speaker 1: of all added up for a good night for them.
Speaker 1: But it was the best offense in the NFL. We're
Speaker 1: one of the two best offenses in the NFL. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they took it to them all night long. And UH.
Speaker 1: To give an update on my personal situation, Judy was
Speaker 1: like loving it that she went with her gut. She
Speaker 1: stuck with Chicago and she she put up like a
Speaker 1: billion points yesterday, so she was fine. Did I let
Speaker 1: her down with something that I told her? I think
Speaker 1: I told her to use Ingram? You did? She told
Speaker 1: so her gut was Spencer were he told him her
Speaker 1: Ingram where had about five more points more than Ingram.
Speaker 1: But she was killing me over this because Ingram didn't
Speaker 1: have that touchdowns with very lady when we were texting
Speaker 1: about it, you flew out. So he did that touchdowns
Speaker 1: to late and she was so angry and then she
Speaker 1: was helping her mom with something and boom, she had
Speaker 1: like three touchdowns and like a I have in a
Speaker 1: period like Aaron Jones had his touchdown mark ingram and
Speaker 1: his touchdown um and one of her other players I
Speaker 1: had a touchdown bang bang bang. So she was very
Speaker 1: very pumped and she made it on the final four.
Speaker 1: She this is this thing that really bothers me. That
Speaker 1: was like, no matter what, it's been a great season
Speaker 1: with no participating trophies, we're not doing that duty to
Speaker 1: win the game. So the problem is next faces Girley
Speaker 1: who he plays on the team that has Girly and
Speaker 1: my homes on it. So that's that's an issuetas it's
Speaker 1: my homes on Thursday night, it's Girly on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: like you are Yeah, you're bad. Yeah, the final Thursday
Speaker 1: night football game and since season the Chiefs and Charges
Speaker 1: this Thursday. Obviously, we'll talk about that a lot as
Speaker 1: the season goes on. We'll have to talk to dr
Speaker 1: A about the running back injuries, because yesterday we saw
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler get hurt on the on side kick recovery
Speaker 1: and I just saw earlier today that his status for
Speaker 1: Thursday is already kind of in doubt. So if he
Speaker 1: can't go, and if Melvin Gordon can't go, if you
Speaker 1: picked up Justin Jackson, Do not drop him yet because
Speaker 1: he might be the loan running back going up against
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs this week. Yeah. Absolutely, And that's
Speaker 1: exactly where I wanted to head to next with the Charge.
Speaker 1: You have to talk about all those like we were
Speaker 1: wide running backs basically, how what they did well? We will,
Speaker 1: we will for sure. But I wanted to get into
Speaker 1: both the Chargers and the Chiefs because a lot came
Speaker 1: out of that. Right. So, you had Austin Ekeler get
Speaker 1: hurt on an on site kick basically just getting costs,
Speaker 1: and you saw he's gonna Cushing protocol. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: very tough for him to get clear by Thursday. It's
Speaker 1: very tough. Will Melvin Gordon be healthy ready to rock,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they may push him now because
Speaker 1: of this Austin Ekeler injury, which is very scary. It's
Speaker 1: one of those must win games on Thursday night football,
Speaker 1: so it's a very tough spot. We'll see what the
Speaker 1: Chargers openly seemed to do. Uh they win yesterday. Keenan
Speaker 1: Alan scores touchdown. I obviously measure my badgeley are earlier,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of a deal with the Chargers, who
Speaker 1: able to handle their business. Yesterday at the game Bangles
Speaker 1: team UM very poorly invest by the way, UM with
Speaker 1: a game Bengals team, did you go in? Three? I
Speaker 1: went one, two was and two I forgot. My third
Speaker 1: bet was when I got right with the Giants, big Blue,
Speaker 1: they came through fine colors wide, the Chiefs six and
Speaker 1: a half. And I don't even want to say my
Speaker 1: third one, but it was I had Carolina, which is
Speaker 1: lost that the Charges lost saved me from the cultural
Speaker 1: and the Panthers. Yeah, alright, behind you buy one. But
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, just from an actual NFL perspective, they're
Speaker 1: ten and three, the Chiefs are eleven and two. It's
Speaker 1: a huge game. Obviously they want to go out and
Speaker 1: try and win that game. But just from their perspective,
Speaker 1: if Melvin Gordon is not is not, how do you
Speaker 1: rush him out there? I don't know. It's just like
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You need this guy for the playoffs. Honestly,
Speaker 1: especially ten days, I wouldn't. I wouldn't play him until
Speaker 1: week seventeen, and even then I would only give him
Speaker 1: like ten to fifteen touches just to like get his
Speaker 1: feet underneath him, you know, get him ready for the
Speaker 1: playoffs or whatever you need. If you have any chance
Speaker 1: of making a run deep into the postseason, you need
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. I'd be surprised. I know that. I've said
Speaker 1: all along Greg that I I think if he were
Speaker 1: to come back early, it would be this game against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Just it's a marquee matchup. I get it.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he should play, but we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens again Thursday night football Chargers Chiefs ten days
Speaker 1: off do the Chiefs. Charges and Chiefs both have after
Speaker 1: that one to get their players healthy. Which brings me
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, where Tyree Hill battle a foot in
Speaker 1: your all day yesterday. I mean, he was out there,
Speaker 1: played the entire game, left before halftime, came back. He
Speaker 1: was in pain, and he was just living around the
Speaker 1: field all afternoon. And even though he caught that ridiculous
Speaker 1: no look over across your body pass, he lived afterwards
Speaker 1: and after the game he says, he puts in real pain.
Speaker 1: I get it adrenaline and I get the pain killing shot.
Speaker 1: Whatever it took. I think he's in a rush to
Speaker 1: play on Thursday night. And you know, they're already without
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. We may be starting Helvin Benjamin and Chris Conley.
Speaker 1: On Thursday night for the Kansas City Chiefs, Spencer Ware
Speaker 1: was banged up. We don't what his status is going
Speaker 1: to be. Damian Williams scores two touchdowns on Sunday. A
Speaker 1: lot to take out on the Kansas City side of
Speaker 1: things as well. And we often hear fantasy football in
Speaker 1: the NFL the battle of attrition. Everyone talks about that.
Speaker 1: But honestly, if you're gonna win your fantasy league, you're
Speaker 1: gonna earn it this year because just based on how
Speaker 1: many players we lost a week ago, you know, playing
Speaker 1: without Melvin Gordon, losing a j Green, losing all these
Speaker 1: early round picks, and then now Tyreek Hill, who's you know,
Speaker 1: been a He's easily been a top five wide receiver
Speaker 1: all season long. You mentioned even a whatever he was
Speaker 1: fifty six, Tyreek Hill still better than what the Ravens
Speaker 1: had to offer yesterday. Four team targets, eight receptions, a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine yards. But you're right, Greg, if
Speaker 1: he can't go, you're looking at the next man up.
Speaker 1: But like Chris Conney was targeted three times. In this game,
Speaker 1: de Marcus Robinson was targeted seven times. Like, so if
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill can't go, I just don't know if it's
Speaker 1: as easy as all right, well, we'll like plug this
Speaker 1: guy in because Patrick Mahomes at least in this game
Speaker 1: spread the ball around a lot. And when we're talking
Speaker 1: about spreading the ball around, you talk about their running
Speaker 1: back situation too. Because spencer Ware performed well yesterday fourteen
Speaker 1: fifteen carries seventy five yards five yards worker carry against
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, who you know, we're in the bottom
Speaker 1: three in terms of like yards per carry and how
Speaker 1: many yards they allow overall the running backs. He also
Speaker 1: was targeted five times, called all five of those, so
Speaker 1: twenty touches up over you know, right around a hundred
Speaker 1: and a hundred and thirty total yards. The problem was
Speaker 1: he was vultured two times by Damian Williams, which at
Speaker 1: running Back by Committee unfortunately rears its ugly head. Damian
Speaker 1: Williams had twelve touches. It was not good on those
Speaker 1: touches on a per carry, a per you know, reception basis,
Speaker 1: but did have the two touchdowns. But spencer Ware looked
Speaker 1: way better in this game than Damian Williams did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did, he did, Um, and the Chargers just got
Speaker 1: lit up by Joe Mixon yesterday too. So it looks
Speaker 1: like Spencer where is gonna be in a good spot
Speaker 1: on Thursday night? Yeah? I agree. Listen, Spencer, Spencer Ware,
Speaker 1: Damie Williams um. It was clear which one looked better.
Speaker 1: It was clear which one looked clear? Like how many
Speaker 1: times do teams have to do the Damian Williams thing? Greg,
Speaker 1: We did this last year and the same thing Adam
Speaker 1: Gates wouldn't give Kenyan Drake touches over Damian Williams. We're
Speaker 1: still in the same boat in Miami, and now Damian
Speaker 1: Williams just finds his way on to another team, doing
Speaker 1: just enough to annoy fantasy owners because he scored the
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Spencer Ware looked way better in every
Speaker 1: single other facet of this game, Like Damie Williams played
Speaker 1: more snaps yesterday, Greg, And I know Spencer Ware was
Speaker 1: banged up for a little bit of this game, but
Speaker 1: Damian Williams played fifty of the snaps. He was on
Speaker 1: the field more than any of the running back and
Speaker 1: then Spencer Ware played around of the snaps, so it's
Speaker 1: not an ideal snapshare, but on a per touch, per
Speaker 1: carry basis, spencer Ware was way better. I agree. I
Speaker 1: agree with that. I agree with that. Um so with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, with the charges Thursday Night Football. Have more
Speaker 1: with that with Dr Ray when it comes when we
Speaker 1: talked to him later on this week. We know you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to know about it, and we do too,
Speaker 1: so we'll hear more about that that then. But Justin
Speaker 1: Jackson sucked, by the way, Justin Jackson did suck, Yester,
Speaker 1: he sucked. He definitely like but you got to hold
Speaker 1: on him. You have to hold on You definitely have
Speaker 1: to hold on to him. But I mean, they're they're
Speaker 1: gonna be teams that are going home because they started
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson. And you know we told people too, But
Speaker 1: I mean, based on the reports that we had in
Speaker 1: the way that everything was trending, like Austin Ekeler had
Speaker 1: a terrible game the week before, Justin Jackson outplayed him,
Speaker 1: and then you get the report midweek from Anthony Lynn
Speaker 1: saying that Austin Ekeler is wearing down quote wearing down,
Speaker 1: and then Justin Jackson looks like he's in a good
Speaker 1: spot against Cincinnati Bengals and just puts up an absolutely
Speaker 1: here seven carries twelve yards. Oh great. He had two
Speaker 1: receptions for twenty three yards. Terrible, terrible for this would
Speaker 1: a good time. I want to get back in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll do this now. So one of the
Speaker 1: most popular questions we had with Spencer where versus his opponent,
Speaker 1: Gus Buss Gus Edwards. We're the guys, We're we're Gus
Speaker 1: Edwards owners. It was a weird game. The defense is
Speaker 1: really good for Baltimore. Obviously they fell apart at the
Speaker 1: very very end. What did you think of Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon bolted him? Um, what did you think of
Speaker 1: the Ravens in general? Lamar Jackson at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: I thought Lamar Jackson actually, uh performed pretty well. I
Speaker 1: know that he had he had the fumble late in
Speaker 1: that game where you know the Ravens were driving. You know,
Speaker 1: that's part of what Lamar Jackson needs to learn, is
Speaker 1: like his blind side and having that internal clock when
Speaker 1: you know he's about to get smashed by the opposing team.
Speaker 1: But I thought he played well in terms of, you know,
Speaker 1: through for two touchdowns, he rushed for seventy one yards.
Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson did with you know, he was he
Speaker 1: was a borderline QB twelve for me, like he was
Speaker 1: a low end QB one and high end QB two.
Speaker 1: But from the running back perspective, I mean, it's pretty
Speaker 1: much what it's been all season long. Like you think
Speaker 1: you could trust the guy and then it just comes
Speaker 1: out that, all right, well they're gonna ride the hot hand,
Speaker 1: and this is what teams are doing nowadays, and it's
Speaker 1: it's next to impossible to know what a team is
Speaker 1: gonna do because it's it's very hot hand approach. We
Speaker 1: hear that where that that term a lot, and it's
Speaker 1: it's super frustrating for fantasy owners because gust Edwards, alright,
Speaker 1: he touches about sixteen times, sixteen carries, sixty seven yards
Speaker 1: four point two yards per carry. That's fine, but then
Speaker 1: Ken Dixon starts, you know, stealing carries, and he's running
Speaker 1: well in those carries, eight carries, fifty nine yards, seven
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry. He had a touchdown and
Speaker 1: you know he also he had a reception in receiving it.
Speaker 1: He just looked better overall. And now yesterday Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: saw a four week low in terms of carries and
Speaker 1: snap percentage. So it's like, who are you gonna trust
Speaker 1: going into next week when they have a good matchup
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well, what we say, what we
Speaker 1: think is good, right because Alvan Kamar didn't do much yesterday,
Speaker 1: and you know, the past couple of weeks, the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks defense has uh has definitely stepped up. But
Speaker 1: just looking at the snap percentage Gus Edwards of the
Speaker 1: snaps again, that was a four week low since he
Speaker 1: kind of clause I took over being the starter here
Speaker 1: and at Dixon of the snaps, he's only played in
Speaker 1: two games. That was his highest snap percentage, so he's
Speaker 1: trending up. Gust Bus is training down, and then time
Speaker 1: Montgomery again is doing just enough in the past game
Speaker 1: to kind of eliminate past value reception value for those
Speaker 1: other two running backs. So it's a mess. I think
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of devalue, You gotta devalue Gus Edwards,
Speaker 1: and I think you have to you kind of gotta
Speaker 1: raise your expectations for Kenneth Dixon. Dixon's probably more of
Speaker 1: He's in the flex play discussion now, now Gus Edwards
Speaker 1: because he still has seen at least sixteen carries in
Speaker 1: every game, more of like a low end RB two
Speaker 1: or high end flex option, more more so than the
Speaker 1: high end r B two that he thought he was
Speaker 1: heading into this. It's unfortunate because the Ravens, you think
Speaker 1: water round the ball, they have Lamar Jackson, as Frankie said,
Speaker 1: and Gus Edwards seemed to be the guy. You know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Ultimately with Baltimore a good
Speaker 1: game with Kansas City over to Cincinnati. We spoke about
Speaker 1: the the Chargers side of Chargers side of that Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon is able to score a touchdown Tyler yesterday not great.
Speaker 1: I was sorry it six times. That was tied for
Speaker 1: a team lead with Joe Mixon who also had six targets.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've been clamboring for this. We need
Speaker 1: to see more Joe Mixon in the past game. He
Speaker 1: needs to, you know this, six targets, that's what he
Speaker 1: should be at. He should be his workload in this game.
Speaker 1: And I know it's a lot, but he needs to
Speaker 1: be in that Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott workhorse type of
Speaker 1: mold that just needs to be the case. And you
Speaker 1: see that when he does get this month's work, he
Speaker 1: can what he can do. Twenty six carries one and
Speaker 1: eleven yards. Four point three yards were carrier. That's even
Speaker 1: with Jeff Driskal as the quarterback. He ran effectively all
Speaker 1: day long. He scored a touchdown as well five receptions
Speaker 1: in additional twenty seven receiving yards. So Joe Mixon, I
Speaker 1: thought it was great. Still had him ranked inside my
Speaker 1: top twelve. I know he hadn't been. He hadn't had
Speaker 1: a huge upside the past couple of weeks. He wasn't
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns and the carries were you know, it was
Speaker 1: fourteen or less the past three or four weeks heading
Speaker 1: into this one. So it's surprising to see that workload.
Speaker 1: But that's what it needs to be. Like, Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: is this good. So if you're if you're out there listening,
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, make sure you continue to get Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: and you want to give you this. The Raiders yesterday
Speaker 1: defeated Pittsburgh in a in a big surprise. I mentioned
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and I mentioned Juju Smith Schuster how awesome
Speaker 1: they were despite Ben missing in the third quarter. But
Speaker 1: the Ravens Raiders after that win, decided to make a
Speaker 1: personnel change, a general manager change regiment. Nzie officially out
Speaker 1: as a general manager in Oakland. He was fighting, he
Speaker 1: was giving the opportunity to stay the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: He said, absolutely not. John Gorden clearly cleaning house. That's
Speaker 1: pretty weird too, because you kind of forced his hand
Speaker 1: into making all those moves. Anyway. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: John Jordan's the one that's like pulling the strings behind everything.
Speaker 1: It's basically like acting GM and coach for this team.
Speaker 1: So i mean, all right, that makes sense just from
Speaker 1: a personnel perspective of what we saw in the field yesterday,
Speaker 1: Big Martin, what do you know? Greg touchdown in three
Speaker 1: straight games? Uh? Still only sixteen carries for thirty two yards.
Speaker 1: He's in your flex discussion, Jared Cookman, back to back
Speaker 1: games over a hundred yards receiving. He's one of these,
Speaker 1: you know, tight ends every single week where you just
Speaker 1: kind of set it and forget it. Well, this is
Speaker 1: in flex where I won. I only started too tight end.
Speaker 1: I've been do you have the last four weeks, it's
Speaker 1: been Jared Cooking, George Kittle, Who've been awesome. Like, I
Speaker 1: know it's a crazy thing to do, but I've been
Speaker 1: doing it. George Kittle over jalan Samuel was yesterday, by
Speaker 1: the way, George Kittle over James Alis right. Actually, Jans
Speaker 1: Sims a perfect game at PBR League. He did. He
Speaker 1: did fine, exactly you're looking for it. Got Voltaire on
Speaker 1: the touchdown, he did, and that was pretty much all
Speaker 1: Steve really did. Five car and a touchdown. But Jalen
Speaker 1: Samuel's eleven carries twenty yards only two point five year
Speaker 1: yards per carry, but targeted seven times, seven receptions sixty
Speaker 1: four yards and he was on the field for eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. And I know Adam Schefter already
Speaker 1: tweeted that it would surprise him and from what he's heard,
Speaker 1: some rumblings around Pittsburgh if James Conner played next week,
Speaker 1: So make sure you hang on to those guys as well.
Speaker 1: Janeln Samuels of the snaps and on. They faced the
Speaker 1: Patriots next week, so that's that's gonna be a shootout games. Now.
Speaker 1: I do want to mention before we I forget with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Eagles. We talked at the Cowboys a
Speaker 1: lot I gotta mention the Eagles. We had a discussion
Speaker 1: all week about Golden Tate and his role pretty non existing.
Speaker 1: He took a backsheet backseat to Alshon Jeffrey. And then
Speaker 1: it came to the running game with Josh Adams had
Speaker 1: twenty carries back to back weeks. Now he got a
Speaker 1: couple of carries, but a far cry from the twenty.
Speaker 1: The fact is he's a zero in the passing game,
Speaker 1: which we knew that. It was almost like high landed
Speaker 1: yesterday with the Eagles struggling to do anything on the ground,
Speaker 1: trying to be in comeback mode. He was useless and
Speaker 1: unfortunately had one long run and that was it. He
Speaker 1: was did not was targeted, did not catch a pass.
Speaker 1: It was more all darren Sproles, and unfortunately, because darren
Speaker 1: Sproles and they went a bit of a hurry up
Speaker 1: in the red zone, darren Sproles gets a touchdown from
Speaker 1: the five yard line and it was just very, very frustrating.
Speaker 1: So you need to have the right match up with
Speaker 1: Josh Adams. They faced the Rams on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: this week. Is that gonna be the right matchup? Probably not.
Speaker 1: It's tough to say because Jordan Howard just rust nineteen
Speaker 1: times for a hundred yards, but that was the MS
Speaker 1: was a game with the least different So we get
Speaker 1: into we get into this with a lot of running
Speaker 1: back situations where you need to try and predict game script.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you could predict game script, then
Speaker 1: God bless you, you should be betting. You should you
Speaker 1: should have won a million dollars by now, because trying
Speaker 1: to predict game script in the NFL on a week
Speaker 1: to week basis is nearly impossible. So on paper, what
Speaker 1: it's going to look like is, oh, yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are traveling to the West Coast. They're faceing
Speaker 1: They're facing a Rams team that just got embarrassed in
Speaker 1: Funsday Night Football against the Bears. They're going to be
Speaker 1: from behind. And if that's the case, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: go as far as to say that Darren's prowls might
Speaker 1: be a borderline flex. He's now scored a touchdown in
Speaker 1: two straight games. He's the one who's being used in
Speaker 1: the past game, as you mentioned, when they're running that
Speaker 1: hurry up and they just need a running back on
Speaker 1: the field and a scattered back. It's it's Darren's burrowls
Speaker 1: in games where they're playing with the lead or you know,
Speaker 1: closer competitive games they're grinding out the clock or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josh Adams is going to be the guy. And you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't love him coming into this matchup either because
Speaker 1: he did not just have been great against the run.
Speaker 1: He was more so a flex option, whereas the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks he was more in the RB two discussion.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Josh Adams going up against the Rams, it's
Speaker 1: not going to look like a favorable game script from
Speaker 1: that match, So you'll do what you have to do, uh,
Speaker 1: in that one. When we come back here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Best Friends Forever, Andrew Luck and the Colts break
Speaker 1: the Texas nine game winning streak, Green Bay wins with

Speaker 1: So that's definitely gonna happen. Greg Every week we get
Speaker 1: touchdown vultures, but didn't it seem like yesterday they were
Speaker 1: just more than like the usual touchdown vulture. Like James
Speaker 1: Devlin scored another touchdown yesterday, And admittedly, you know I
Speaker 1: was talking up Sony Michelle all week last week. He
Speaker 1: has twenty carries, but if he gets that touchdown, like,
Speaker 1: it's a totally different day for James Devlin scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley you already mentioned, five carries for four yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Trenton Cannon of the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: My New York Jets, Alfred Blue scored a touchdown, Damian
Speaker 1: Williams too touchdown, Zack Zenter a touchdown, Kennethy Dixon stole
Speaker 1: a touchdown from Gus Edwards. And Brandon Balden. How can
Speaker 1: we ever get Brandon Balden? Everyone started the week Brandon
Speaker 1: Balden game to rushing attempts to sixty yards to We'll
Speaker 1: tell you who was known about that? All those Kane
Speaker 1: Drake owners. Kenyan Drake thing is interesting though, because, like,
Speaker 1: while I still want to be mad at Adam Gates
Speaker 1: for not using him like Kenyan Drake just provided one
Speaker 1: of the most awesome moments. And I'll go as far
Speaker 1: and I haven't watched like every game in NFL history,
Speaker 1: that was one of the most memorable regular season moments
Speaker 1: in NFL history. And I know it's kind of going
Speaker 1: viral right now where you can watch the video with
Speaker 1: like the Titanic song like you for everything. But that
Speaker 1: was an awesome player from Kenyan Drake. Awesome for some
Speaker 1: not so awesome for others. We got we got the
Speaker 1: mailman in the in the YouTube chat telling us how
Speaker 1: he was crushed by Kenyan Drake. I still don't know
Speaker 1: why he's not used as more like there's no like
Speaker 1: that's starting far. Frank Gore ran well, so I can't
Speaker 1: crush it. And then and bold and randomly gets two
Speaker 1: rushing attempts and he scores two touchdowns, Like, how can
Speaker 1: I make a case for Kenyan Drake. He's been great
Speaker 1: all season long, but that's why he still has the
Speaker 1: most the most touchdowns among the Dolphins running backs. Frank
Speaker 1: Coors still hasn't scored rushing touchdown alst he's long so well,
Speaker 1: he's been great. I mean, Kenyan Drake is the one
Speaker 1: is the money maker. One might say, alright, alright, Ade,
Speaker 1: By the way, we crushed Tom Brady on here Brady
Speaker 1: highest passing, highest mat passing yards he had all season long,
Speaker 1: came yesterday, three touchdowns. He was very good yesterday. Frankie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was the QB one overall. You know, QB two
Speaker 1: is Greg now Dak Prescott. You know QB three is
Speaker 1: one guest, one guest only. Nick Mullins, Um, no, he
Speaker 1: was not Luck. Josh Johnson in four passing that the
Speaker 1: other start of the week had Josh Johnson and bolding
Speaker 1: in your lineup, You're likely moving on to the next
Speaker 1: round of the Fantasy football playoffs. This is just what
Speaker 1: we talked about, right, Like, Josh Johnson comes in of
Speaker 1: relief of Mark Sanchez and randomly forty five rushing yards,
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown, throws for a touchdown as well. I
Speaker 1: now you mentioned Andrew Luke Gray get and a lot
Speaker 1: of people were freaking out in that first quarter first
Speaker 1: half ish for Andrew luck but still ends up with
Speaker 1: nearly four yards and two touchdowns. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, who was questionable for the game yesterday,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned on Friday, rushes the Texans. Whenever you
Speaker 1: see t Y Hilton going up against the Texans, put
Speaker 1: him in your DFS Lineup's crazy nine. Had a phenomenal game,
Speaker 1: Yes he did. He was absolutely brilliant yesterday in that one.
Speaker 1: As I said, the nine game winning streaks snapped for
Speaker 1: Houston and Indianapolis after getting she lacked by the Jaguars
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville wake up in a major way. Had really
Speaker 1: nice adjustments by Frank Reich at halftime, and they got
Speaker 1: the job done. Uh in a big potsition magic against Houston.
Speaker 1: It was really really good by them. Yeah. The AFC
Speaker 1: wild Card is just all over the place right now,
Speaker 1: all over the place. Got the Ravens who are right there.
Speaker 1: You got the Colts now who are dophins. Dolphins control
Speaker 1: their own destiny. And I've said this, I'm gonna stand
Speaker 1: by this. And look, if you're a Miami fan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to offend you, piss you off anything.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Miami Dolphins are very good. Not
Speaker 1: what they've done enough to win game is this here,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. They you know, they've they've played just enough
Speaker 1: defense here, They've played They've made huge plays all season long.
Speaker 1: You can't forget when they faced Chicago in Miami, Albert Wilson,
Speaker 1: you know, just torching everybody and going to the house.
Speaker 1: It seems like every single week, you know, the Brandon
Speaker 1: Bolden touchdowns, the miracle from Kenyan Drake. It's it's been
Speaker 1: one of those seasons for Miami where every single thing
Speaker 1: when they need something to go right, when they need
Speaker 1: a big play, when they need a random defensive stop,
Speaker 1: Miami has been there to do it. But then on
Speaker 1: the flip side, you know, I've watched a lot of
Speaker 1: Miami as a Jets fan. You know, you see the
Speaker 1: games between the Bills as well. It seems like they've
Speaker 1: been able to lose every game too. Like the Bills
Speaker 1: could have beat the Dolphins last week, but Jets played
Speaker 1: competitive games and both their matchups against the Dolphins. Like
Speaker 1: it's just very weird. I don't think the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: very good, but hey, here we are. It's it's about
Speaker 1: to be week fifteen and there's seven and six right
Speaker 1: in the mix for the a f C wild card.
Speaker 1: They very much are. It's it's really remarkable. Are a
Speaker 1: f C is really interesting? With the Patriots losing yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in this battle yesterday. Uh we thought we knew.
Speaker 1: And of course fourteen weeks later, Patrick Mahomes just took
Speaker 1: over the MVP race one I think so too big
Speaker 1: spot on every big spot for him. On Thursday night
Speaker 1: in an ice A game. As I leave, it was
Speaker 1: Evan Silva that said it, Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: he's Jason McIntyre. But night show game. Everybody's watching Mahomes
Speaker 1: gotta come up big on Thursday night if they think
Speaker 1: if he does, he secures an MVP vote, and how
Speaker 1: how can you doubt him at this point, especially against
Speaker 1: the Ravens. It's not just what Spencer where did yesterday,
Speaker 1: it's what Patrick Mahomes did. Obviously, Crunch Time crushed us
Speaker 1: in a matchup against Matt Modika. Shout out to Matt Modica,
Speaker 1: who who ran over the BFS thankfully, you know, thanks
Speaker 1: in large part two ran over right back, right over
Speaker 1: and back thanks in large parts of Derrick Henry obviously
Speaker 1: putting up we have one of the Derrick Henry. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: what Derrick Henry had like a the whole game and
Speaker 1: we have one. I think we ended up losing by
Speaker 1: like twenties, so you can give Derrick Henry twenty points
Speaker 1: were still in Yeah, that's that's probably the case. You know,
Speaker 1: the two highest scoring PPR games by skill position players
Speaker 1: this week, we're the highest scoring. It's all season long
Speaker 1: more than that between did we it was thirty something two? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had the Bears defense. So I mean I I
Speaker 1: shut the ixed off that tab after so so once
Speaker 1: I got because we had Robert Woods, we had Josh Reynolds,
Speaker 1: we had Antonio Brown. So like I was like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: it's funny that after after Golden Taes game, like nice
Speaker 1: shop Josh Reynolds and it worked, um, but not as
Speaker 1: well as we have moved. Like we put up a
Speaker 1: media it was a medio game. Came really crushed us yesterday.
Speaker 1: And then we have Dack on the bench. But I mean,
Speaker 1: who's starting Dac Overnon. We weren't. You can't crush yourself
Speaker 1: for that. We weren't doing that. We had we had
Speaker 1: a huge kicker dilemma as well. It makes you feel
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better. We would have started, we
Speaker 1: still have lost. Yeah. Did we have Maher on the bench, yeah,
Speaker 1: fourteen Yeah, and you're the kicker through the kicker guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I mean you crushed it with kickers this year.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know we got we got un lucky
Speaker 1: the bear. He was put up twenty one against us,
Speaker 1: very every forty seven like that. What are you gonna do? Ultimately,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Um? As we mentioned, Aaron
Speaker 1: Judes did not short this game for Green May today.
Speaker 1: They ran over Atlanta and I felt like Redzon didn't
Speaker 1: really show enough of this game, to be honestly, I
Speaker 1: feel like I barely saw any of it. Um, But
Speaker 1: the Packers whooped the Falcons evidently out from early on
Speaker 1: in the game, you know, and I kind of liked
Speaker 1: Calvin Williinston's matchup to this is another process over results,
Speaker 1: because if you look at the past catchers for Atlanta,
Speaker 1: they did well, like Justin Hardy randomly got in the
Speaker 1: end zone. Julio Odonan's had a monster game over a
Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns. You're telling me some of
Speaker 1: that couldn't go Calvin Ridley's way. I think that he
Speaker 1: was in a good spot. But just talking about um,
Speaker 1: the Green Bay running backs here, Aaron Jones back over
Speaker 1: six of the snaps here last week. Part of the reason,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Mike McCarthy was fired only of the snaps
Speaker 1: and then the goal of Joe Philbin yesterday to start
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams and play him on the entire first series
Speaker 1: between Aaron Jones and Kenyan Drake, like what have they
Speaker 1: done to their respective coaching stats? You know, what more
Speaker 1: do you need to see from Aaron Jones? Like, I
Speaker 1: know he still ended up with a great game, but
Speaker 1: you had some fantasy owners ripping their hair out because
Speaker 1: the first half of that game Aaron Jones did not
Speaker 1: do anything, so he had to have that big second half,
Speaker 1: which he ultimately did. So you know, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: complaining for no reason, but he had why did you
Speaker 1: not start? Like why does Jamal Williams start for this
Speaker 1: team and play the first series? So thinking that it
Speaker 1: was because Aaron Rodger has been hit too much, and
Speaker 1: they said Joe film was like see what protect me
Speaker 1: you would? I got you man. Had a Packers fan
Speaker 1: tweet it me yesterday and said, look this is what
Speaker 1: they do. Uh. They start Jamal Williams and then they
Speaker 1: let Aaron Jones, you know, slowly warm up into the game.
Speaker 1: And then after Aaron Jones had the big game, he
Speaker 1: tweeted me afterwards and said, he told you so, this
Speaker 1: is what the packers like to do. Like all right, well,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're happy about you know, not starting
Speaker 1: your best players at you know, at their respective positions,
Speaker 1: and all the power to you. But I just don't
Speaker 1: really see the logic in. You know, we need to
Speaker 1: get Aaron Jones warmed up into the game slowly, and
Speaker 1: we have to start with like no, not like just
Speaker 1: your best players. No you think so? And the cabal
Speaker 1: really thing is really frustrating to me. That killed me yesterday. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Up and all the other Falcons pass catchers performed well
Speaker 1: in this matchup Hooper, No, a lot of people depending
Speaker 1: on Austin eight four four eight four three six, eight,
Speaker 1: seven nines anything else. Before he get to the phones,
Speaker 1: Frankie that you wanted to make sure you hit on here.
Speaker 1: Now I think we hit on a lot of the
Speaker 1: stuff running. I really want to talk about the waiver,
Speaker 1: wid running backs and ard and the only when we
Speaker 1: did it before we got the phone lines. I want
Speaker 1: to do this. We didn't mentioned jeff Wilson yet yesterday
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Wilson twenty three harries for ninety yards yesterday
Speaker 1: I had a cash for six. So it wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't as great as last week, but the important thing
Speaker 1: was the domination in the backfield. He had twenty three
Speaker 1: carries out for Moors had two. That's all you really
Speaker 1: need to know that Breed is not out there yesterday
Speaker 1: and not out there next week. Rather, Jeff Wilson was
Speaker 1: right back in the lineup. Yeah. Absolutely, back to back
Speaker 1: games at least twenty three touches and they faced the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. That was the team that at um. Jeff
Speaker 1: Wilson did everything that he just did it last week
Speaker 1: against him when he had nine targets and eight receptions
Speaker 1: and over a hundred and twenty totally yards. He had
Speaker 1: a great game against Seattle. So he's gonna face him
Speaker 1: again next week. I'll have to see what happens with
Speaker 1: Matt Brita, and I'd be surprised if Matt Breda plays
Speaker 1: again this season, just being honest, Um, I think he's
Speaker 1: part of the future there with him and Jack McKinnon.
Speaker 1: I don't really the forty Niners aren't playing for much
Speaker 1: this year. Um, I'd be surprised. I think Jeff Wilson,
Speaker 1: especially with no Matt Brida, he's gonna be an RV
Speaker 1: two again next week. Alrighty, with that, we're gonna sign
Speaker 1: off of YouTube. We're gonna take your calls. The rest
Speaker 1: of the program, the Fantasy Frenzy. He's up next. Corey
Speaker 1: Parson back in the saddle. He's woken up from his slumber.
Speaker 1: You saw him yesterday on the shows on Block Live
Speaker 1: and of course on Fantasy Football Now Fantas Poble Live.
Speaker 1: He was here. We welcome up and now you can
Speaker 1: do a show again. There you got Corey, Chris and Jim.
Speaker 1: We'll have you covered. Caught up next to be listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast like subscribe rates five stars, please and
Speaker 1: leave a comment. And if you were listen to Love
Speaker 1: with the Radio, would take your calls the the programs.
Speaker 1: Let's start with that right now. Frank at eight four four, eight, four, three, six,
Speaker 1: seven nine, and we begin with's Trek and Jersey. What's up?
Speaker 1: What's up? What's going on? Man? Hey, man um? I'm
Speaker 1: winning about thirty right now. I'm playing Russell Wilson tonight,
Speaker 1: I have Dalvin Cook. I know I'm winning. It's the
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs, but I'm just asking about
Speaker 1: the next week. I know I'm winning tonight, I'm playing
Speaker 1: next week, I'm playing uh Odell, Melvin Gordon, Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. What do you guys think I'm winning? You're
Speaker 1: up by thirty tonight, you have Dalvin Cook, You're going
Speaker 1: up against Russell Wilson. I feel I feel confident. I
Speaker 1: feel confident. We'll give you, uh, definitely chance of winning.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to next week, I mean you
Speaker 1: just said I'm gonna have Melvin Gordon, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. I mean that's not I didn't wear it
Speaker 1: that correctly. Sorry, Right, I'm facing Melvin Gordon, O b J.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's playing or but on my team Mahomes, Lindsay,
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, Trey Burton, and then my my team
Speaker 1: it's just whole. Trey burn sucks too, but Nelson Curtison
Speaker 1: it all and uh, I don't really have that much
Speaker 1: depth right now. It's really bad. Yeah, look, you have Mahomes,
Speaker 1: so I think as long as you have Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: I mean you'll have a fighter's chance about being awesome.
Speaker 1: You have to do something at the tight end position.
Speaker 1: You just can't continue to to trot Trey Burton out
Speaker 1: there and just expect something different happened. That's the definition
Speaker 1: of insanity, Greg waiting for different results. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think Ian Thomas is gonna be a popular pick
Speaker 1: up this week. He just had the you know, nine reception.
Speaker 1: It was an eight or nine reception in seventy seven yards.
Speaker 1: Good matchup against the Browns. But I liked. I liked
Speaker 1: that he was used, and I believe he could have
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown yesterday as well. So Ian Thomas is
Speaker 1: a name that I'm looking at. Um. I think you
Speaker 1: had a dump trap burn. But good luck in your neck, Matt,
Speaker 1: your next matchup. Alright, back the phones. We got eight fourth, raight, four, three, six, eight,
Speaker 1: seven nine, stand in d C. You're up next? What's up? Stand?
Speaker 1: How you doing? How y'all doing the day? I got
Speaker 1: like two questions. Actually I'm in the playoffs right now.
Speaker 1: Standard League? I got Dalvin Cook, but I'm down ninety
Speaker 1: five the one sixteen. What y'all think Standard League? Lot's
Speaker 1: a lot of points of Standard a lot of points.
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook isn't even a guy that's been scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 1: We saw his his pass game usage go up last week.
Speaker 1: He saw a career high and targets and receptions. What
Speaker 1: I will say, we just saw Jeff Wilson have a
Speaker 1: pretty big game against against Seattle. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get your hopes up. To be honest, I don't think
Speaker 1: you have a good chance of winning. But the way
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks have been giving up fantasy production to
Speaker 1: running backs, I'm not gonna say it's impossible. You have
Speaker 1: a chance. Is it a good chance? Probably not? Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you? Yeah. One more question going in the playoffs
Speaker 1: next week. For the next two weeks, I have won
Speaker 1: a flex spot opening a full PPR. Who should I
Speaker 1: go with? Uh? Fitch, Joe, Josh Reynolds, Curtis Samuel's a
Speaker 1: golden tape. We can't answer that yet. Yeah, we can't ask.
Speaker 1: I haven't even looked at fourteens on over guarantee if
Speaker 1: you call back Wednesday or Thursday, we will one thousand
Speaker 1: percent answered that question. On Thursday we got so y'all
Speaker 1: don't plan that. I no, I don't even plant it
Speaker 1: on a way I don't want to wearing on Thursday,
Speaker 1: which was putting my life. No. I mean when it
Speaker 1: terms to like waiver wire, like, yeah, you can start
Speaker 1: to look at Matt Short in terms of like planning
Speaker 1: out your line up for the week in advance when
Speaker 1: it's still Monday. I never do all right? Uh eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six seven nine Stephen the
Speaker 1: Massachusetts You're next, Steve, Stephen, have Dick's leapt Yeah? What's up? Man?
Speaker 1: What was your question? So I had Dick's left down
Speaker 1: eleven to pull it off? Question is? Uh? Oh Kenneth Dixon.
Speaker 1: Now you guys interested, You guys into him, and you
Speaker 1: saw him. You guys want to look at I know
Speaker 1: it's Monday, but he has my attention for sure. I
Speaker 1: think he's getting close to a flex discussion. Seriously, Well
Speaker 1: you can get close to FLEXI two weeks left and
Speaker 1: your Fantasy football semifinals. You feel comfortable putt Kenneth Dixon
Speaker 1: in there? No way, absolutely not. But if you if
Speaker 1: you suffered injuries, great, I mean it depends on what
Speaker 1: you have. If you were able to pick up one
Speaker 1: of these other way wire running backs, yes, I love
Speaker 1: those guys way more. Like you don't know what people
Speaker 1: are going through right now, Greg when it comes to
Speaker 1: their running backs, Well, I pick him up, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe Gus Edwards gets hurt and then he's like your week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's getting carries right now and he's performing well in
Speaker 1: those carries. You have a dead roster spot. I'm absolutely
Speaker 1: interested in Kennet Dixon in terms of tonight eleven, you're
Speaker 1: down eleven. You have Stefandigs is a PPR YEPPR Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're good down eleven in the PPR six fine. Um.
