1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,480

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: want to ask you off top before we get into

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: the waivers at each position, just you know, with the

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: it's the last week of the regular season. For some

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: it's you know, opening week of the playoffs, there's kind

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: of the sentiment start the guys who got you there.

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: But there's been a lot of upheaval too in these

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. You know a lot of guys

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: like Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts just underperforming expectations. Uh So,

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: you know, what are your thoughts just on that kind

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: of sentiment. How do you go about you know, you're

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: kind of making your starting lineups at this crucial time

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: of year.

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh, that's a great question.

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: I wouldn't necessarily have some hard fast rule like, you know,

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: start the guys that got you there, and you're starting

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, bow Neck, who's my quarterback twenty against the Packers.

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: But it could be within reason, you know, just because

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, we have a guy projected for like point

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: three point more then the guy that got you there,

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that you necessary have to go with the

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: guy with the higher projection. You got to just have

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: to take it in context, like, if you're a big favorite,

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: you probably want to play a little bit safer. Maybe

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: go with the guys at the higher floor, right, because

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: you just want you probably have the better team. You

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: just need to not make a dumb mistake and lose.

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: Whereas if you're an underdog and you need to be

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive, maybe do go for the

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: guys at the higher ceiling with the wider range of outcomes.

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: So I think it just depends on the situation. Don't

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: overthink it too much, but you know, you kind of

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: manage your way to get to this point. You just

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: got to trust your gut and hopefully, you know, throughout

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: the week we can help you make those decisions.

56
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely don't think you want to overreact. I

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: think that's the big thing. But I wouldn't be scared

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: to kind of go away from guys, you know, depending

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: on their projections, just because things kind of changed late

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: in the year. You know, we've seen this. You know

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: it's a different NFL than I think it has been.

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: And that's something too, Like I think I saw a

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: stat that Jordan Love and I think it was Sam

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Darnold of the only two quarterbacks with multiple touchdown passes

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: of forty plus air yards. Like it's just like a

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: different league now in terms of how teams are scoring.

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: You know, where you get the ball, you're almost always

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: in field goal range. So you know, things are starting

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: to change and got to kind of adapt with it.

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: And I think that's why I've been seeing some quarterbacks

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: struggle and just some passing games and receivers. So it's

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: been interesting. But we'll talk about all of it. Start

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: at quarterback waiver wire targets for Week fifteen, who are

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: looking at.

75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I was actually surprised to see CJ. Stroud

76
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: as my QB twelve to open the week. I still

77
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: can't believe it, but he's available in fifty eight percent

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: of leagues rightfully, so because he it seems like he's

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 3: typically like, you know, mid to low end QB two

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: most weeks of my rankings. But you know, the Texans

81
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: are facing the Cardinals this week. They have the sixth

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: highest team total, so you know, Stroud's touchdown odds are

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: kind of elevated because of that. And I'm really loving

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: this wide receiver duo they have brewing with Nico Collins

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: and Jayden Higgins. You know, Jayden and Higgins had a

86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: really slow start to his rookie season, but he's coming on.

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: I think he you know, Stroud has a solid group

88
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: of pass catchers with you know, Dalton Schultz at tight end,

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: and he hasn't really tapped in his rushing upside at

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: all in these two games since returning from a concussion,

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: but without reason, he could chip in you know, twenty

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: plus rushing yards if he gets a couple of scrambles here.

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: So I think Stroud is one of those guys that's

94
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: kind of sneaky. This week's who's pretty much available in

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: most leagues right now, where you know, he opens a

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: week QB twelve, but there's a glut of guys that

97
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: there could be some shuffling, but some of these top

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: guys have much tougher matchups this week, so he could

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: be one of those guys that by the end of

100
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: the week. You know, he's a guy that I would

101
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: pivot to. But still a long way to go, and

102
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: they are ten point favorite, so this is a game.

103
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: It could be more of a run heavy game script,

104
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: but my model likes CJ. Stroud do open the week,

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: so he's just inside my top twelve.

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: And you extrad more just to be clear, like more

107
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: than Brissett, who's in the same game. People probably have

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: been riding. But it's like a really tough matchup.

109
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: Right Yeah, yeah, just because I really do respect this

110
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: Texans defense. But Brissette is going to be slinging around,

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: so he still has a high ceiling. But yeah, I

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: think head to head, I would prefer Stroud because again

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: we're dealing with you know, season on Fantasy is head

114
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: to head matchups, so I typically prefer the higher floor,

115
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: and I think this week it be C. J.

116
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: Stroud.

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is like the one spot I think

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: Brisette the matchup would kind of shine me away from him.

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, some mahomes just got nothing going. Yeah, and it's

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: still outdone by jaymen Hurts in terms of poverty.

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: So the two Super Bowl quarterbacks.

122
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: Not a great week, But uh, I'm going with I

123
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: like Marcus Mariota looks like he's gonna be back under

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: center for the Commanders. Jade and Daniels got knocked out

125
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: of yet another game, Mariot is still available in over

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: ninety percent a week, so I think he is is

127
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: the ad right now for me. You know, he would

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: be my quarterback thirteen if he suits up. So I

129
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: think he's worth kind of having on your bench, even

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: if you're not exactly sure what's going on, what's gonna happen,

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: As you mentioned a lot of up people. But Mariota

132
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: has been playing well in place of Daniels, probably playing

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: better than Daniels the past few few games, at least

134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 2: the second half of the season. Put up two hundred

135
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: and ninety four and two tough stands against the Broncos,

136
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: and that overtime loss, Uh, you know, usually gonna get

137
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: you thirty plus yards on the ground as well. So

138
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota I think is the the top priority ad

139
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: for me. It looks again, it looks like it's not

140
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, but it looks like he's going to

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: make the start. I don't see why they would keep

142
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: throwing data Daniels out there at this point, you know,

143
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: the season is lost, or maybe maybe it's not if

144
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: the Eagles lose every game, but it seems like it's

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: lost for the Commanders. So Mariota amongst you, like you said,

146
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: a gut of guys, I think he stands.

147
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Out, is it, uh Mariota or whatever Consorts was saying.

148
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hilarious.

149
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: And the traditional Mariota like everybody else.

150
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, this kind of reminds me of the other

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: week when I was like Kyler Murray was expected to return,

152
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: and I was like, just stash, hope you pre set

153
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: you might as well because they're facing the Cowboys and

154
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: things happen. So yeah, this week, there's not there's a

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: lot of quarterbacks there, but there's not that many like

156
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: solid options, So yeah, I have Jayden playing this week,

157
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: but yeah, if Mariota does get the start, he probably

158
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: would be in that next I think it's smart to

159
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: just kind of stash him and wait and see, just

160
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: to see if you start.

161
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I love that idea.

162
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I hope it's I hope it's Mariota,

163
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: because the next quarterback I probably have there's J. J.

164
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: McCarthy and that does not, oh my god, make me

165
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: feel good. Yeah, to your point, it's check the rankings

166
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: obviously fantasywebs dot Com later in the week, but for now,

167
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: it would be Mariota for me running back.

168
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: We would have well for the fifteenth for the fifteenth

169
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: straight week, Blake Korum is available in sixty seven percent

170
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: of leagues now although I saw like a lot of

171
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: waiver articles out there are like saying, bid the max

172
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: to just get this guy. And Kyron Williams is completely healthy.

173
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: So how far we have come? Because you know, this

174
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: is the second straight week Korum has just had a

175
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: massive game. He's actually the RB two overall the last

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: two games, and Kien Williams is fully healthy. They're like,

177
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: I'm the biggest blake KRN fan, and I still think,

178
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: you know, Kien Williams is the clear lead back in

179
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: this offense. But I think they had mentioned a couple

180
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 3: of weeks ago that they kind of want to limit

181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 3: Kyroen's workload just to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

182
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: So naturally Korum is going to get more work.

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: But Korms was playing so well, like they have to

184
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: realize that they just have a really good running back

185
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: duo here. So I think it'll continue this week, even

186
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: in a tougher matchup against the Lions, where he could

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 3: offer RB three flex value this week. And then if

188
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, Kyen were to miss a game at some

189
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: point in his career or when when Korum's you know

190
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: in the league over these I know a couple of

191
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: weeks where would you have him, I would have Corn

192
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: probably my top five, so that that upside alone, he

193
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: should be rostered. But the fact that he's like going

194
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: off right now and you could probably play him as

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: a RB three flex right now means he is a mustad.

196
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: Hopefully you don't have to bid your entire budget. You

197
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: should probably just already, you know, have him on your

198
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 3: bench if you've been listening to this pod all season,

199
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: But gotta shout him out because there's a lot of

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: people calling for you to spend your entire load on him.

201
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: But the guy, the guy I think is a sneaky

202
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 3: stash right now is Jalen Right, because you know, Devon

203
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: h Chan suffered that rib injury last week.

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: I guess he like fell on the ball or something.

205
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: But he's up in there this week and they're already

206
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: saying it's gonna limit his practice time no matter what.

207
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: And it was actually right was the clear lead back

208
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: when a Chan went down last week, and Alli Gordon's

209
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 3: kind of just going to be that shortyarded goal line option,

210
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: but you know, right could be a you know, high

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: end RB three flex option if h Chan is out

212
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: this week. So it's one of those calls where you know,

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: you got to be careful. You don't want to bed

214
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: too much because Chan could play and you can't play

215
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: right in that situation. But if h Chan is held out,

216
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, you might be able to get right pretty

217
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: cheap before that news break. So he'd be a guy

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: i'd probably bid you know, a few dollars on just

219
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: to see, depending on your situation. But Jalen Wright could

220
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: be a waiver writer gym this week as well.

221
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to Korum, you know it's I think, yeah,

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: it's misguided to say bid like your whole budget on him,

223
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 2: because the same about this week's matchup in particular is

224
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: it's the Detroit Lions. Like that's a team that, on

225
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: paper at least could give the Rams one of their

226
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: toughest game scripts of the year. And then you know,

227
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: we're looking at a game last week where Korum got

228
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: the what was it twelve or so carries? It was

229
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: forty five seventeen. They were up like thirty five points

230
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: at one point uh in that game. So this week

231
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: they might never get they might never even have a

232
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: wed in that case. It's you know, I would think

233
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: it's more what like sixty five sixty five thirty five

234
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: something like that. So it's it's a it's a pretty

235
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: dangerous thing to say, bid your your whole budget. You're

236
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: just looking for kind of a normal RAMS game script

237
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: where they still lead for more more than a trail essentially,

238
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: and that would that should get Korm up to about

239
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: forty percent of the of the carries or so. But

240
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: there's a chance that Detroit, you know, desperate uh Is

241
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: is just a better team in that game and ends

242
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: up you know, Korm gets like, yeah, five or six carries.

243
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: So that's I would not bid my whole budget on him,

244
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: but he's definitely like a top top thirty six option.

245
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they and they play at Seattle next week,

246
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: so it's almost like two weeks in a row Korum

247
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: could be limited. And I say that as a big

248
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: Korn fan, and that's why I'm saying, like, yeah, you

249
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: would probably only want to bid your entire budget if

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: you know, Kyroen were to miss time and we're at

251
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: the point in the season where that kind of upside

252
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: is gone. You know, at most Kiren can miss two

253
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 3: games at this point the rest of the season, the

254
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: odds of that happening are extremely low, So you know,

255
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: what are you bidding your entire budget on. But we

256
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: are at the point in the season what are you

257
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: saving your budget for? So it just really depends on

258
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: your situation. But yeah, I don't I don't think he's

259
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: a bid your entire budget player with Kiren healthy, And

260
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: like you said, this is a tougher matchup. But hopefully

261
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: you guys already have him on your bench or in

262
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: your lineup by now.

263
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, or like a you know, algieer doesn't have as

264
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: good of a match up although the Bucks run defense

265
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: is gone down the drains. Yeah, maybe it is a

266
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: good matchup. But the guy I've been talking about him

267
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: a lot too in this pot I feel like lately

268
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: Chris Rodriguez Junior.

269
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: You have to.

270
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: He is inside my top thirty this week going up

271
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: against the Giants and tough game script for him. You know,

272
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: daily ran fifty two snaps against the Vikings shutout. That's

273
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: not going to be good for an early down kind

274
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: of back who needs touchdowns, and this matchup it should

275
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: be a lot better for him. This Giants defense run

276
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: against the run is the worst in the league, and

277
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is still operating as that number one back over

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: Bill and Mcnichol's more the passing down guys. So there's

279
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: a chance Rodriguez pushes, you know, fifteen to twenty carries

280
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: in this game. If the game script stays close, they

281
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: should be able to run more snaps. And I mean

282
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: he's had a quarterback all year that whether it's Danis

283
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: and Mariota, that's going to run the ball, so that

284
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: that's not really you know, gonna do anything to him

285
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: at this point that it hasn't already. So like, right,

286
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: Rodriguez still available in two thirds of leagues, you can

287
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: get it. I mean, yeah, you can get a top

288
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: what should be a top thirty running back, no matter

289
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: you know what happens with some of these other guys

290
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, available in two thursday leagues. I think he

291
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: got to do it against the league's horse run Dyes,

292
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: So he's my RB twenty eight right now. Wide receiver,

293
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: who are you looking at here? Talk about a go

294
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: ahead of guys? I mean, yeah, I hope we don't

295
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: have to be scouring the wire, But if you do,

296
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: who are you looking at?

297
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not that bad of a week, honestly, Wide

298
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: receiver if you do have to scour the wire, because

299
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: I love your two guys a lot, but I'm gonna

300
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 3: talk about two second round rookies that are trending up

301
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: in first of course, is Luther Burden, the third available

302
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: in eighty three percent of leagues. Still tough matchup this

303
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: week against you know, the Browns. I'm expecting the Bears

304
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: that try to be run heavy as much as possible

305
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: as favorites. But I still like Burden this week if

306
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: ram A Doonsday is ruled out again. And I had

307
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: mentioned on Twitter that when Donsday is ruled out, Burden

308
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: actually moved all the way up to wide receiver twenty

309
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: seven for me, and I got quite a bit of

310
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: pushback on that. I don't know why, but you know,

311
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: he posted at four catch sixty seven yard game, which

312
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: is I thought that was pretty good, and then people

313
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: were like, you know, see he's not that good. That

314
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: was good for wide receiver twenty seven on the week.

315
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: So we have to keep things in perspective here, right Like,

316
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's going to you know, outscore Pooka Nakua.

317
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: I'm a very reasonable person, but he is seeing enough

318
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: playing time now with with his you know, massive target

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: rate to put up solid wide receiver three numbers. So

320
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: even in the tougher matchup, I would have him in

321
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: that you know, wide receiver thirty two range. If Rome's out,

322
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: I think he's still maybe one or two seasons away

323
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: from like offering wide receiver one value, but I think

324
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: it could be there eventually.

325
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: But like I said, this is a tougher matchup.

326
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: I'm expecting on the run a ton, but you know,

327
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: Burdon is seeing enough usage to kind of be a

328
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: steady wide receiver three as long as Rome's out. If

329
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: Rome is playing, then you probably can't start Burden this week.

330
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: And then another guy that you know, he's kind of

331
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 3: in that wide receiver four range for me still, but

332
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: I like his upside, and that's Jayden Higgins available in

333
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: fifty eight percent of leagues. Again, he just got off

334
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: to really slow start in the first half of the season,

335
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: but he's been turning up of late. He's kind of

336
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: operating as the wide receiver two and the offense and

337
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: he now has a thirty percent target rate over the

338
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: last five games. The problem is his playing time still

339
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 3: capped in that you know, fifty five to sixty five

340
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: percent routes run range, which sucks I mean, that's why

341
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: he's kind of a wide receiver for still. But it's

342
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: not about question, right, he could end up, you know,

343
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: topping eighty percent at some point before the end of

344
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: the season. I think in that situation he would be,

345
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: you know, a wide receiver three for me with upside.

346
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 3: So he's a guy where the only limitation with him

347
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 3: right now is playing time and that could easily be fixed.

348
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: So he's a guy wouldn't mind having as an emergency

349
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: play this week or you know, a potential wide receiver

350
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: three option over these last couple of weeks. But I

351
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: still think Higgins, you know, he's trending up at the

352
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 3: right time. If you want to take a flyer on

353
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: a you know, rookie I have, I was pretty high

354
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: on heading into the season.

355
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think the only reason he doesn't

356
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: get more playing time is because they said they tend

357
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: to do it by personnel group. So it's like Hutchinson,

358
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: I think it's if I'm not mistake, it's I think

359
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: it's he plays in a lot of the one two stuff,

360
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: like the two tight end stuff, so it's like, yeah,

361
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 2: it's it's just kind of a personnel thing like week

362
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: by week. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe

363
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: they got him some more looks because you know, they're

364
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 2: trying to make a playoff run, so I would think

365
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: they would want him prepared for you know, all the

366
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: different personnel group and so they can have their top

367
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: receivers out there. But that that seems to be what

368
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: the same thing that helped Burden back, I think he

369
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: was not. He wasn't playing in like the you know

370
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: as much of the one two and the two one,

371
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean the one to one to open the year,

372
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: and then he would play in like single receiver sets

373
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: and like the four live stuff. And then that's why

374
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: it was so important for to be out because now

375
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: Burden is essentially just in every every grouping uh and

376
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: that that shoots his roundes turn rate way up. Yeah,

377
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: speaking of rounds, frind rate, jayden Reid came back ran

378
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: over half you know, over a rounded over half the dropbacks.

379
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: So I think he's worse in that. It seems like

380
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna kind of forces feet him the ball when

381
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: he's on the field, you know, give him some rush

382
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: of towns, give him some targets. Tough matchup against Denver,

383
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: so they probably would need him in this spot, So

384
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: he's still available in sixty percent of weeks. I think

385
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: you can do worse if you're you know, kind of

386
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: in need of a wide receiver. He should just outside

387
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: that wide receiver three range. For me, he's about wide

388
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: receiver forty ish or so, and then Kashawn Booty available

389
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: in seventy one percent A week's going up against Buffalo.

390
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, we saw Buffalo really struggle against number two

391
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: receiver T Higgins in the last matchup. They've been good

392
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: against number ones usually, so it could be a slower

393
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: day for Gigs. Booty could be a guy they have

394
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: to rely on. Yet again, he is right around at

395
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: rerange kind of upper forties, but a lot of upside.

396
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: He can take the top off of defense and may

397
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: have to be, you know, kind of their de facto

398
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: number one receiver in this matchup, kind of like T

399
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Higgins was for the Bengals last week. So like Booty

400
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: as well.

401
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jayden Reid, like he returned, I guess there's only

402
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: a sixty five percent route turn rate, But isn't that

403
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: like his full time role. I don't think I remember

404
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: projecting him for like more than seventy. Ever, last year

405
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: he just he doesn't get much playing time, but when

406
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: he's out there, he gets targeting. He does a ton

407
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: of damage. So I noticed that, and he's already I

408
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: think he's already inside my top thirty, even though it's

409
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 3: a tougher matchup, but he should be avoiding Stan anyway, right.

410
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's at this point. I mean, Watson has

411
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: been so good that I would think Cirtan w'd be

412
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: on Watson. But the thing with Reid is he's another

413
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: guy with the personnel groups. He pretty much only plays

414
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: in one to one personnel or you know, anything with

415
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: more than three receivers on the field. But he doesn't

416
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: really play anything with two receivers on the field or one.

417
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: But the Packers lost, you know, Craft, so they're not

418
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: playing as much heavy personnel anyway. So I think in

419
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: this matchup it's fine. Matthew Golden played five snaps in

420
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: his return at Dontevin Wicks played six. Now Wicks I

421
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: think I hurt, so you know, it's worth monitoring. But

422
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: I think at this point Wicks would probably just slot in,

423
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: you know, behind Reid in that number four row and

424
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: just bake Golden kind of bow Melton or I guess

425
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: at this point. So yeah, it's I think Reid is

426
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: safe either way, because, like you said, he played his

427
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: pretty much his normal compliment of snaps. He's usually going

428
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: to be in at sixty five to seventy five range regardless.

429
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is the first time all year I

430
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: think the entire Packers wide receiver room is healthy. Right,

431
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: and bo Meltain's still wait I were and bou Melton

432
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: still went off maybe the most underrated. Maybe he's like

433
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: what we wanted Travis Hunter to be.

434
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Jordan Ler is really fucking good too, because

435
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: he he's one of those two quarterbacks with those are

436
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: yard touchdowns Like that means he's actually creating touchdowns. Yeah,

437
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: for receivers versus Like the rest of the week is

438
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 2: just like think dunk, think dunk, think dunk. All right,

439
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: tight end.

440
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: We like, there's a lot of options this week. It's

441
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: actually a great week to need a tight end on

442
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: the waiver wire. In my opinion, I'm gonna go with

443
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: THEO Johnson, though now available in fifty eight percent of leagues.

444
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: I think some people weren't happy that he hasn't scored

445
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: now in four straight games, but people, there's not many

446
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: tight ends out there that you can count on a

447
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 3: touchdown over four game stretch, so I wouldn't cut him.

448
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Just based on that.

449
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: He he has five touchdowns on the season, so he's

450
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: he's shown that upside so far. But he has a

451
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: really solid floor where you know, he has three or

452
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: more catches and seven straight games. Now again he's been

453
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 3: on a touchdown drought. Could change any week, but this

454
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: week could be the week. You know, he has a

455
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: ceiling game against Commanders who struggled against tight ends, and

456
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: last week they allowed three touchdowns to the Vikings, two

457
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: of them to my guy Josh Oliver, So you know,

458
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 3: if they could put up a ton of touchdowns against them,

459
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: Theo Johnson seems like a good bet to score this week.

460
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: So he's inside my top ten this week. But there's

461
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: a handful of guys out there that are kind of

462
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, they're inside my top fifteen. So great week

463
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: for like, you know, needing to add a tight end

464
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: in my opinion.

465
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure you called Oliver for a touchdown

466
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: right last week? Yeah, so is this is Theo Johnson

467
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: kind of a sneak peak touchdown bet for our well, yeah,

468
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: touchdowns over the action next network.

469
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's it going to be like?

470
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: Plus one Eddy though, But depending on if I get

471
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: that game, if I have the Giants, he will probably

472
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: be my guy or Devin Singletary, right, yeah.

473
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, single tis getting all the goat on work,

474
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: all right? Yeah? For me, I mean, I've been saying

475
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: this guy's name on the spot all year, and if

476
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: I haven't, you have, and it's Harold Fannin Jr. He's

477
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: still available. It's in sixty percent a week. So still

478
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: more than half of the fantasy community does not have

479
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: this guy on a roster, which is absurd because he's

480
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: essentially the Browns number one receiver, you know, I mean,

481
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: I know Judy had a big game last week, but

482
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 2: Fannin eight catches, one hundred and fourteen yards and a touchdown.

483
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: Second week in a row he's had a touchdown. He

484
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: even put up numbers in the game they lost twenty

485
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: six to eight, a windy game against San Francisco. So

486
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: he is locked in. He's a top ten tight end

487
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: for me going forward and still available in sixty percent

488
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: of weeks. So I mean, if he's if he's out there,

489
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: I think he's worth. He's worth a bit at this point.

490
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 2: You know, like if you need a tight end and

491
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 2: like you're good at other positions, I would bid a lot.

492
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: I would bid most of my budget. I mean at

493
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: this point, I don't know any other guys out there

494
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: really you're looking at that are essentially there could be

495
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: their team's number one receiver to close out the year

496
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: that you can kind of just get at a reasonable price.

497
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: So Fannin definitely is a guy you want to be

498
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: paid attach to, and he should absolutely be one hundred

499
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: percent rostered by the time we do the show next

500
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: week or better.

501
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, was up and he like got touchdown. Wasn't like

502
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: you know, broken coverage wide open. That was a big

503
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: boy touchdown where he did like ninety percent of the

504
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: work there and just you know, basically Moss the guy.

505
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I mean, he's their I think he's their

506
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: best like receiver at getting open, you know, especially the

507
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: way Juda has been struggling all year. So that I

508
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 2: mean we saw it from week one with Fanning. It was, yeah,

509
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: nine catches in week one for seven, No, seven catches

510
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: on nine targets. Now it came against the Bengals. He

511
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: down that dogade that a little bit, but still it

512
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: shows that from the opening part of the season they

513
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be one of their top

514
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 2: receivers and he's continued that pace defense special teams. Week fifteen,

515
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: we get.

516
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Jaguars here, still available in

517
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: sixty four percent of leagues, which is wild. They've actually

518
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 3: been really good dating back to Week ten, so that's

519
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: twenty five weeks now. They're the number two defense in

520
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: fantasy football and they have a great matchup this week

521
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: against the Jets. I don't know who they're going up

522
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: against quarterback wise, because you know, Tyrod's hurt, Justin Fields

523
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: is hurt, Brady Cook is healthy, so it could be

524
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: Brady Cook again. Either way, this is a great matchup

525
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: for the Jaguars. They're widely available. I would probably bid

526
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: a dollar to make sure I snag them too, because

527
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: they could be, you know, a lot more of a

528
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: long term option. You know, they face the Broncos next week.

529
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd use in them, but they

530
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: they face the Colts. I don't know how Philip Rivers

531
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: is going to look this way, but that might be

532
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: a great team to have in in the finals week,

533
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 3: depending on how that turns out. But Jaguars defense has

534
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 3: been solid, uh and they have a great matchup this week,

535
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: so they opened the week as my number three defense.

536
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phil Rivers, Philip Rivers is not gonna look good.

537
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: He didn't look good five was it four years ago?

538
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: I think?

539
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the COVID season, which is like, right,

540
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: I guess he was okay, but yeah, he he can't move,

541
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: so it's yeah, it's he's gonna be a sitting duck.

542
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: So I would I think that's a good look.

543
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: Which is rushing crop going to be obviously like a

544
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: half yard, but like, what's the juice on the under?

545
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, a negative half yard?

546
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: You mean, well that would be that would they would

547
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: have to be favored.

548
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not He's probably not gonna get a kneel

549
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 3: down for a scramble, so.

550
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess it would have to be a

551
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: half yard like minus nine.

552
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: I thought minus three hundred. We'll see what happened, but yeah, could.

553
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, I can't, Like, how did we even

554
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: get here?

555
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Phil?

556
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: I mean we went from Daniel Jones to rise Anthony

557
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: Richardson to Daniel Jones to Riley Leonard to Philip Rivers,

558
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: just like.

559
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 3: I would Andrew Lux younger than Philip Rivers, Right, he

560
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: should come back, that would.

561
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: Be I mean he's maybe not in football years because

562
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: he retired because he's getting beat up too. So right, Uh,

563
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the uh, the Niners. They are

564
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: available in seventy four percent of weeks. Up against the Titans,

565
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: my number six defense. Titans have been exploitable all season long.

566
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: Niners are at home here, so they should be able

567
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: to get it done. We saw them before the bye

568
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: put in a couple of really good defensive performances against

569
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: you know, kind of shaky offenses. They had the UH

570
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: twenty six eight win against Cleveland and then they had

571
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: that and a low scoring win against the Carolina Panthers

572
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: who were hot at the time. So Niners defense lost

573
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people, but seems to be trending up.

574
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: So like them against Tennessee. Always got to target Tennessee

575
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: one way or another. I know they had what thirty

576
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: one points against the Brown so not the greatest, but again,

577
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: this Niner defense has been better coming off the extended rush.

578
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: Should be able to get it done here. Kicker who

579
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: who targeted clothes out the week.

580
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: Gonna be Harrison the sorry the thicker kicker Again. I'm

581
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: going to continue to nominate him until he's scooped up

582
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: in over half the leagues. But he opens the week

583
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: as my number two kicker this week. Last week, you know,

584
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: he finished with nine points, which is good for you know,

585
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: a top ten finish with one field goal, so the

586
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: Rams had six extra points. So I mean, again that

587
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: just means he has a really high floor. But kind

588
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: of the point you were making with Krum earlier against

589
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: the Lions, maybe just maybe the Rams stall a few

590
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: times once they do cross midfield and some of those

591
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: extra points turn into field goals. So I think this

592
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: week he has a much highler ceiling than normal, and

593
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: he has yet to miss a kick. I mean, he's

594
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: attempted three field goals. One of them is longer than

595
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: fifty yards. I think he's going to be a very accurate,

596
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: good kicker, but he just hasn't seen the attempts. But

597
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: I think this offense is going to just continue to

598
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: fuel him with you know, points, whether that's pats or

599
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: field goals. And this week, you know it's at home

600
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: here in La so it's technically indoors, so weather isn't

601
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: an issue. And I think there's like six or seven

602
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: games this week with like freezing temperatures. I know it

603
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: hasn't impacted scoring at all that you know, the snow

604
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: game there is you know a ton of points.

605
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: But it does impact kickers.

606
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: So I was like having a kicker this time of

607
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: year playing indoors, so even more reason to have him.

608
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 3: I think, I think you could use them the rest

609
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: of the way because they face the Seahawks next week, which,

610
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: like I said, you know, they could stall a few

611
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: times and you know, kick a couple more field goals,

612
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 3: and then they're at Atlanta in the finals week, so

613
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: that game's indoors. So I'm probably gonna stick with them

614
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: the rest of the way here.

615
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean before this resurgence, the Rams were

616
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: known for stowing out in the red zone. And they're

617
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: out their top tight end, so they've had to go

618
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: back to more like less heavy personnel, so they you

619
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: know that it could be an issue against against Detroit.

620
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: We'll see, but either way, yeah, like mevus this week

621
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: as well, I'm looking at whoever is the forty nine

622
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: ers kicker, So I mean both of them should be available.

623
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: It's Pinero would be coming back from injury, he would

624
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: be available in ninety two percent weeks, and then Matt

625
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: Gay if not ninety four percent. I would seriously look

626
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: at either one of those guys. This game is outdoors,

627
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: but sixty two degrees in the forecast, two mile per

628
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: hour wins, so no win essentially, which is winner for

629
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: San Francisco. But but yeah, and you're going up against

630
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: the Titans, so you probably will have the ball a

631
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: lot and going up and down the field here, so

632
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: it looks like Panero might give it a go. Obviously,

633
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: you don't really have to waste any fab but I

634
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: would probably I don't think either one of these guys

635
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: is gonna be claimed, judging by the fact that they're

636
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: available in over ninety percent a week, So I would

637
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: just kind of sit tight see what's gonna happen. Because

638
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: either one of them, if they kick in this game,

639
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: is my kicker number three for the week. So I

640
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 2: think it's it would be important to get one of them,

641
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: But don't know for sure that it's gonna be Panaro,

642
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: But if it is, yeah, looking at him, if not

643
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: Matt Gay against these Titans all right, that is gonna

644
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: do it. Waivers Week fifteen. Hope you're having a good season,

645
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,400

647
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: at quarterback. Could be a kicker as well, so we
