00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Greetings, and welcome to the Daily NFL Fantasy Live podcast.

00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: on a full recap of Thursday night football play with

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: that means for your fantasy team going forward. Julius Thomas

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: stops by, as does James Jones on Burrito Friday in

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay. We'll talk to them about their season so far.

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Adam Rank has his likes and dislikes, and we answer

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: all you're burning quarterback questions. Today. I got a whole

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: bunch of fantasy advice to getting ready for Sunday, and

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: speaking of don't forget, follow us at NFL Fantasy to

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: get all of your fantasy alerts, who scored, Who's hurt

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: and more on game day. In fact, speaking of alerts,

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Ramsay's Bardon called you just as our tease was rolling.

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: What does he want? Well, we're as Martins in there.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: We're talking fantasy football, alright. Why the Giants were so?

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Why why the Giants are struggling? Right now? All right?

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Very good. We'll have that and more as the show continues,

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: But right now, all of our thoughts and prayers are

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson as he deals

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: with a tragic issue involving his two year old son.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: Peterson missed practiced on Thursday as he was in sue

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: fall South Dakota for this situation. He did return to

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings on Friday and said that he will play

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: without a doubt this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Again,

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: our hearts are with Peterson and his family as we

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: begin our show today, which you watch for information, escape

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully a little bit of entertainment. So with that

28
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: in mind, let's kick things off by sending it to

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: Adam Rank and Marcus Grant for all your big fantasy headlines.

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jason sad News in Minnesota. Now, coach Leslie

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Fraser is tasked to guide the Bikings through this tragedy,

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and today he selected Matt Castle the Vikings starting quarterback

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. What can we expect from Matt Castle

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: going forward? Well, Matt Castle is not a guy you're

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna start. The Carolina Panthers have been very tough on quarterbacks.

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a sneaky sleeper play, maybe

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Cordarrel Patterson or Jerome Simpson are your options. Moving on

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: to New England, NFL media insiders Ian Rappaport and Albert

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Breer confirmed that Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has not

40
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: been cleared by Dr James Andrews and that his likelihood

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: of playing Sunday is in doubt. Brier also reports Stephen

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Ridley will play versus the Saints. But Marcus, going back

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: to Gronkowski, what should fantasy owners do? Well, you do

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: what you've been doing. You drafted Gronk and you knew

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: you were gonna have to have a backup plan for

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the first few weeks. I know it's getting frustrating having

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: to wait on him week after week, but you stay

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: with your plan. B The one thing is make your

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: decision early on Sunday, because Gronk plays a later game

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: during the day. If he does not play, which it

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: looks like he won't, you don't have a lot of

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: chances to fill in that gap. You know, you say frustrating,

53
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: that's a mild understatement. But going back to the running

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: back position, who is the guy to play there? I

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: think the guy to play as the Garrett Blunt. Even

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: when Stephen Ridley was healthy before it was Blunt that

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: was getting most of the carries, and even now that

58
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley is back, I still think Blunt is going

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: to be the guy staying in the a f C.

60
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: East Jets tight end Kellen Winslow has been suspended four

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: games for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances.

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: Bad news for Winslow, But could this be good news

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: for Jeff Cumberland. Definitely as good news for Jeff Cumberland.

64
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Cumberland and Gino Smith had really been building a report

65
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: during the preseason. The two of them had connected a

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: few times early in the year. Looked very good in

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: that win over the Falcons on Monday night. Jeff Cumberland

68
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: has become a very sneaky tight end play in a

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. Maybe this week he will have to

70
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: help somebody if he is in your line up. All right,

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the rest of the notable

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: injuries for Week six, and I caution you right now

73
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: do not panic when you see some of the big

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: names up here, because these are the guys who are probable.

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles expected to play, Eric Decker, Arian Fawston, Colin Kaepernick,

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Freddie Morris, all these guys expected to play. Miles Austin,

77
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: though expected to play. What does that do for Terence Williams.

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Boy drops Terence Williams down the list a little bit.

79
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: The only thing is, if you have Miles Austin, you

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: always have to be worried that he's going to get

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: hurt again. But Terence Williams back off of him for now.

82
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Here is where it starts to get a little bit dicey.

83
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: These are players who are questionable for Sunday. Larry Fitzgerald,

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, Stevie Judge, big name receivers, and also some

85
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: big name running backs of course, Darren McFadden and C. J. Spiller.

86
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: But the one name who jumps out here Marshawn Lynch.

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Now Pete Carroll came out and said he expects Lynch

88
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: to play. But what should fantasy owners be doing? Well

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: right now, I think you go and you you start

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, or at least you have every intention of

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: starting Marshawn Lynch, but just to be safe, go and

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: try to get Robert Turbin off the waiver wire if

93
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: he's still there, just in case Marshawn Lynch doesn't go,

94
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: then you've got the guy that's going to be his

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: backup in the Seattle Seahawks offense. Yeah, because we got

96
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: to cut off guard a little bit last week when

97
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson was ruled out, So you don't want to

98
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: be in that position again. And another, speaking of receivers,

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald's questionable. What do you think that he wasn't

100
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: a good play going forward? Right? So what's your owners

101
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: stud here? Well? I think this makes it easy for

102
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: you to put Larry Fitzgerald on your bench. He was

103
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: a bad matchup against a rejuvenated forty Niners defense. Carson

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Palmer has been throwing the ball to the wrong jersey

105
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: more often than not, and with had with with Fitzgerald

106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: thing with a hamstring injury, it just makes it so

107
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: easy for you to put him aside this week. All right,

108
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller, Now I see the run right here.

109
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: Don't tell me about this run. This was the only

110
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: thing he did against the Cleveland Browns on that Thursday

111
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: night game. What do we do here with c J. Spiller?

112
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Tough matchup, It's a really tough matchup. You spent the

113
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: high draft pick on him, so chances are, unless you

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: have some depth, you might be forced to play him

115
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: as a flex option. But it's a bad match up

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. He's dealing with an ankle injury, and

117
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 1: on top of it, Fred Jackson's getting so many touches

118
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: right now, it's really hard to trust. C J. Spiller. Okay,

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller's or excuse me, c or Chip Kelly geez,

120
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: I'll get that. I don't worry about that. Chip Kelly

121
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: is starting to get up my last good nerve. What's

122
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: the deal with Michael Vick? What should fantasy owners be doing?

123
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Pray right now? Chip Kelly is saying he's going to

124
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: wait until the last possible instant to name a starting quarterback.

125
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: So it could be my Vic, it could be Nick Foles.

126
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully you have another quarterback now. Chances are if you

127
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: drafted Vig it was as a number two options, So

128
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: you've got another guy there. Just you ready that you

129
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: may have to go with n of the option, just

130
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: in case it's Nick Foles that gets the call on Sunday. Now,

131
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense hasn't been able to stop anybody. Mike

132
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Williams is question ball. He looked like he was going

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: to be a sneaky sleeper this week. Yeah, you hope

134
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: he's able to play that because he does have good value,

135
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: but that hamstring is very, very tricky. Have a backup

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: option ready for you. Yeah, anybody who steps in for

137
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, I say you could probably play him going

138
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: forward because you you, you gotta like that matchup because

139
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles cannot stop anybody. All Right, that's all from

140
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: here for the Week six injury report. Jason, I heard

141
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: there was some football being played last night. All right,

142
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Mr Rank. There was a game

143
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: last night. Knock knockock, bar, who's there? Oh and six?

144
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: The Bears and the Giants, Eli Manning and Jake Cutler.

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: First Giant's possession, Eli, Well that's how you get to

146
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: oh and six. Right to Tim Jennings, bar playing the

147
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: Bears defense against me in fantasy, I was like, tackle

148
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: and tackle tackle him seven nothing, Bears, you don't have

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: a chance. I'm up on your thirteen points. Late first quarter,

150
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: second agold Giants Brandon Jacobs, who pushes his way in

151
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: for the touchdown from four yards after sight. So much

152
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: way to be pushing down there on the goal line.

153
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: My goodness. Second quarter Bears. Now with a third and nine,

154
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: it's Jay Cutler looking for Brandon Marshall, the forgotten man

155
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Here he is wide open

156
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: for the ten yards. Thank you, thank you. Ensuing Giants possession.

157
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: It's Eli Manning looking for the new Ramses Barden. It's

158
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Ruben Randall who stays in bounds. Third seven, Ruben Sandwich.

159
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Look at that. Now you got me ready for lunch.

160
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: It's tied fourteen fourteen, six minutes left to go until halftime.

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: It's Cutler again. It worked the first time. Why not

162
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall second touchdown of the game. You see, just

163
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: when you thought Brandon Marshall was not the res on target.

164
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: See you'll set tripping. This guy is unbelievable. All right,

165
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: we're cow tipping. Fourth quarter, two minutes to play, Giants

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: trailing by six. His past for Brandon Myers too high,

167
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: picked off by Jennings. Second sension of the game, the

168
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: third one by Eli Manning. They shake hands and the

169
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Bears come out with one victory. Things are just okay

170
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: for the Bears right now. Not so much for the Giants.

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: Take a look at Brandon Jacobs, had that huge night

172
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: with over twenty three Fantasy points. Gonna gets him in

173
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the second Brandon Marshall is back. Everybody can exhale deeply

174
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to Brandon Marshall. Now when it comes

175
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: to Jacobs far here he is who's putting the line up.

176
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: David Wilson looks like he's gonna be out a while.

177
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Can you trust him going forward? Well, you know what

178
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: when you're when you're the running back getting the majority

179
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: of the carres. Look at this game last night, I mean,

180
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: twenty two carries, a hundred and six yards and two touchdowns.

181
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: He's got to be that guy now, all of a sudden.

182
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Now he went from being a guy that maybe was

183
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna help in situations to being the featured back. Now

184
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: the guy who they're gonna try to relay on, to

185
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: rely on. He has. They're gonna, you know, sprinkle in

186
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: some other backs, but he's gonna be the goal line guy.

187
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: At two hundred fifty pounds coming down on the gold line.

188
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: That's very hard. But you know he's gonna get a touchdown,

189
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: So you're good with him. For a flex, you know, absolutely,

190
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: for a flex. He's not gonna be my one or two.

191
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a flex guy, all right. How about

192
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Ruben Randall, second big week in a row. You know

193
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: this is this is impressive when you think about last

194
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: week Payton excuse me, Eli Manning through the ball fifty

195
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: two times and targeted Ruben Randall a ton. In the

196
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: last two weeks, he's had nineteen targets. That's a lot

197
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: of targets. This guy is more than just a guy

198
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: who just popped on the scene. He's making the best

199
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: of it. Last night he took advantage of his targets,

200
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: had almost the same amount as Victor Cruz and how

201
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: King Nicks and made the most of it. Can you

202
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: trust him going forward? I trust Ruben Randall, Oh my bitch. Alright,

203
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Jay Cutlor two two yards passing two touchdowns. He remains

204
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: who he was and that is a bye week replace

205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: from the quarterback. He's just simply not going to give

206
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: you the big breakout numbers that you're gonna get and

207
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: expect from your number one quarterback. He's not gonna throw

208
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: for three, three fifty, He's not gonna throw for four scores.

209
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: You can still play Brandon Marshall as we saw last night.

210
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Alshan Jeffrey, you're still holding out on him, not ready

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: to commit to him yet. He's worth owning, but not

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: playing the same thing with Jay Cutler again unless you

213
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: have a bye going on. Lots more to get to

214
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and we return. We'll chat were one to the top

215
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: tight ends in fantasy football. Stick around to find out

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: who it is and whether his early success is just

217
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: a mirage. And Adam Rank shares his week six list

218
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: of likes and dislikes. It's more than just charity. The

219
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: fate of fantasy games across the land hinge on this list.

220
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,560

Speaker 1: be joined now by James Jones. James, thanks for stopping

227
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: by with us and and the first thing we all

228
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: want to wanna tell you is that when you jump

229
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: into the stands next time, you gotta avoid the guy

230
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: wearing the Lions shirt man as crazy. You said that

231
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: because I didn't even see him. I was so amped

232
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: up from catching the touchdown. I didn't see him and

233
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: he got a good show on me too, So yeah,

234
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: make sure I look before I jump next time. All right, Now,

235
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: you're following up last year with another good season, A

236
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: lot of potential jumps for you. What's been the key

237
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: to that so far? Oh man, Just making the most

238
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: of my opportunities. We've got so many weapons here. Um,

239
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, you get limited opportunities, so when you do

240
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: get some opportunities, you got to make the most of them.

241
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: And that's what I try to do every game. Are

242
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: there enough footballs to go around for all three of

243
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you to have big games every week? Um? A Rod

244
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: make sure he keeps us happy. Um. He does a

245
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: great job of spreading the wealth. Um. We all know

246
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: that every game, each one of us are not gonna

247
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: have a hundred yards and three touchdowns. But we know

248
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the main thing is to win the ball game and uh,

249
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: eventually your time will come. But in that receiver room,

250
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: we pride ourselves on making a play when we get

251
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: the ball. And one big thing you guys were talking

252
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: about after the game against the Lions, how much you've

253
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: struggled recently in the red zone, is the answer throwing

254
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: it more or running it a little bit more. Um,

255
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: The key is staying balanced. Um. The more we can

256
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: run it, Um, the more one high coverage we get,

257
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: man and man we get. And when we get man

258
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: and man, we believe that's an advantage for us. And

259
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: we try to take advantage of those guys in the

260
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: back end. And when it comes to the running game,

261
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: and only had three straight games the running back over

262
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, can you guys succeed with the crowded

263
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: backfield or do you need one guy to step up? Um? No,

264
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think the key is is just you know,

265
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: yards per carry Um. Our coach wants to keep yards

266
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: per carry up. So whoever's back there, we just want

267
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: to get him a positive run every time, and uh,

268
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: keep the defense on their heels. So we give you know,

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: a rod, you know, a bunch of a bunch of

270
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: players to choose from during the ball game. Is any

271
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Lacy close to breaking out? Oh yeah, I mean you

272
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: can see it in practice. He's getting more comfortable with

273
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Um, he's starting to understand and you

274
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: know how they're blocking and you know, reading off them. Well,

275
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: So as long as we block on the outside who

276
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: has some big runs. You have the defending Super Bowl

277
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: champions coming up on Sunday. What's the best way to

278
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: attack him. I can't give up the game plan, but uh,

279
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna be balanced. We're gonna go out there, We're

280
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna run our offense, try to run it a little bit,

281
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: and definitely try to take some shots in the past.

282
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Game right, James Jones, appreciate time. I know today's burrito

283
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,000

00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: some respect on fantasy. They don't never pick me up,

286
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: but this time I'm gonna I'm gonna pick you up.

290
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: All right, So I guess the question is for James Jones, Papps,

291
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: can you start all three Packers wide receivers? I think

292
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: you do. But we heard something there, randall cop big

293
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,800

303
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a bust. Well, the sleeper for me is Kenny Steels.

304
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: When you think about the Kenny Steels and his his

305
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: success in college, I saw that transferred to Week one

306
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons. I like Kenny Steels in his

307
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: position right now going up against this defense to put

308
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: up some good numbers. I'm gonna go ahead and say

309
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: nine point four points for Kenny Steels because of this talent.

310
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this kid can stretch the field. And I

311
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: think that the defense for the for the Patriots are

312
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a hard time with Kenny Steels all right now,

313
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: give me a bust. Well, a bus to me is

314
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be Kim Broll Tompkins. We've hired so much about

315
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Kim Brill, especially in the first week everybody's like, oh,

316
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, the drop balls, and then all of a

317
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: sudden he started to graduate and started to come up.

318
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: But this defense, Rob Ryan's defense, He's not gonna see

319
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: this many disguises. I mean the side adjustment for him

320
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: and and Tom Brady are gonna be off. I'm calling

321
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: a bus game for kim Brill Tompkins and you're calling

322
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: the Saints thirty seven team. That's right. I said it,

323
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: all right, there we go, big win by the Saints. Rank.

324
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: You got the Eagles in the bucks, a winner and

325
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: a sleeper and a bust. I like the Eagles to

326
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: win this game, But if you're gonna look for a sleeper,

327
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie quarterback

328
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Mike Glennan. I just look at the Eagles defense and

329
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: see how many points teams are putting up against them,

330
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: and I look at that quarterback situation, I go, you

331
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: know what, I might be able to sneak him into us,

332
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: into the lineup. I actually have them in a couple

333
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: of leagues. I've it's so tough to find good quarterbacks

334
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: nowadays in some of the deeper leagues that I decided

335
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm taking a look at the numbers here.

336
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that the Eagles have allowed at least

337
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: three hundred passing yards on the road. So I look

338
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: at it, and it says to me, Mike Lennon. So

339
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm going with, do you have a bust in this game?

340
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: I have no bust in this game because this is

341
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna be an offensive explosion from both sides. Let's look

342
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: at these numbers right here that the Eagles defense has

343
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: allowed to wide receivers. You see, targets, receptions, These all

344
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: lead the league. These are the most of any of

345
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: any of these categories. And I understand Mike Williams is

346
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: a little banged up, Vince and Jackson what whoever starts

347
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: at receiver for the Tampa Bay Fuckaneers is a sleeper?

348
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: All right? Either who? I don't care what starts you're playing.

349
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's on the team anymore. But alright, Fabs,

350
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: you have the Lions and the Browns. Give me a score,

351
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: a sleeper in a bust. Yeah, I'm going with the

352
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Lions seventeen bronze fourteen. I think it's gonna be a

353
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: very low scoring game. My sleeper is gonna be Willis mcgahey.

354
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Now mcgahey is now the featured back in Cleveland. We

355
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: all know that, and I like this matchup. The Lions

356
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: have given up the sixth most fantasy points to running

357
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: backs this season, and with mcgahey not losing carries in

358
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: that backfield, well, guess what. He's as high as a

359
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: low end RV two for this week and a very

360
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: good flex starter. Jason, I'm starting mcgahey in a bunch

361
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: of my leagues this week. I like the matchup all right. Now,

362
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: your bust is Matthew Stafford. Yeah, Stafford, listen with her.

363
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Without Calvin Johnson, Stafford's matchup is really bad this week.

364
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: The Browns have allowed the fourth fewest fantasy points to

365
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season, and they're extremely tough on their home field.

366
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: And regardless of what happens with Megatron, well, if he's in,

367
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden's gonna be on him. So that's gonna be

368
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: a tough matchup without him. We saw what happens with

369
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, so Calvin Johnson's presence regardless, I am sitting

370
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford this week. I like that, fambly. I know

371
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting Glenn and over staff. Is that right, my friend?

372
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: You're a bold man. You should say that for your

373
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: bold prediction. I'll do that Sunday spoil bye. Weeks and

374

Speaker 1: like dislike. But for right now, how about a little

389
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: taste and we will start with r G three, a

390
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: quarterback a lot of you have been waiting for all season. Well,

391
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: guess what the good news is The Dallas Cowboys are

392
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: here to save the day. You remember the Dallas Cowboys,

393
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: the team that gave up fifty one points to the

394
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Well you should know the Cowboys have allowed

395
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points of quarterbacks this season. The Cowboys

396
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: have allowed and I'm receiving touchdowns the last three home

397
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: games against the Redskins. What does all this mean? You

398
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: play r G three? But a quarterback I don't like

399
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: this week is Terrell Prior. And I hate to say

400
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: this about the young man because he was so good

401
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: against the San Diego Chargers just a week ago, but

402
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: I really don't like this match up against the Kansas

403
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed the seventh US points

404
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: to fantasy quarterbacks this season, and they're so tough at home.

405
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: So I would leave Prior on the bench. You can

406
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: play them later in the year, but this is not

407
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: the week to play him. How about a wide receiver

408
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: to go to. Well, let's talk a little bit about

409
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: Tory Smith, who I absolutely like this week. He has

410
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: one of the most unheralded number one receivers in the

411
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: NFL right now, and he's got a great matchup going

412
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: up against the Green Bay Packers, who have allowed the

413
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: ninth most points the fantasy receivers this season. And Joe

414
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Flacco has absolutely torn up the eight or the NFC

415
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: at home. So Tory Smith, Joe Flacco, both of those

416
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: are guys that I like this week. And finally let's

417
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: go to Chris Johnson, a guy that I do not

418
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: like and I do not want to start. Even with

419
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: the lack of number one running backs in the NFL

420
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: right now, I cannot endorse Chris Johnson. The Seahawks have

421
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: allowed the fifth fewest points the running backs this season,

422
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: especially at home to You don't want to play Chris Johnson.

423
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: He has disappointed you. He's done nothing for you to

424
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: leave him on the bench. Here are some lower names

425
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: you should be familiar with. DeAndre Hopkins is a great start.

426
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton He's gonna start turning it around. Jordan Reid

427
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: he is one of my sleeper tight ends. Some guys

428
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: to avoid Sam Bradford any running back for the for

429
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. I almost said Los Angeles, Kyle Rudolph,

430
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford a couple of more guys to avoid, And

431
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: those are just a few my likes and dislikes for

432
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: this league. For the full list, check out NFL dot

433

434
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: over to the rest of the boys for our spots

435
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: starts in the week. Thank you, Mr Ragg. Time for

436
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: your hotels dot Com fantasy spot like guys are looking

437
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: for your top spots starts. You can plug in if

438
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: your regular starter is on a buy injured or c

439
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: J spiller. So we're gonna take a look at first

440
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: at the teams that are gonna buy this week, just

441
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and Falcons, but some notable names that are

442
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: off that normally you would want to start. You gotta

443
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: replace Tony Gonzalez nuts number one, you'd have to replace

444
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Lamar Miller. You're starting as a flex, Mike

445
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: Wallace could be starting as a flex, and of course

446
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: Julio Jones done for the season with his foot injury.

447
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: So where do you go fast if you're playing Matt Ryan,

448
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: if you're in some kind of crazy league where you're

449
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: playing Ryan Tannehill, give me your spot start this week

450
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: Alex Smith in Kansas City. And I'm gonna tell you

451
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: this right now, I would start Alex Smith over Klin

452
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: Kaepernick this week. All right. I like to look at

453
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: weird trends. So and Alex Smith has a trend of

454
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: playing really well in even numbered weeks. He's averaging twenty

455
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: two fantasy points per game when it's an even number

456
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: two week. What week is this guy's Is that an

457
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: even number? You know? By the way, I like how

458
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: your playing along. The Raiders have a lot of average

459
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: of right around nineteen fantasy points per game to quarterbacks

460
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: this season. I don't trust Alex Smith very much, but

461
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: this week I would spot start him because of the matchup,

462
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: because the trend. And you know what, there's a lot

463
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks out there that are not playing that well,

464
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: Coln Kaepernick included. So I think Smith's a good play

465
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: Nice there you going fast? Now we know he likes

466
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: looking weird things. We have that down as well, all right, Bart,

467
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: The Jet secondary is banged up going to the show

468
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: down against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's coming off of by

469
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: you like Emmanuel Sanders. I do like Emmanuel Sander, and

470
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: I have a different type of trend when you look

471
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: at this offense. This offense is you know, for the

472
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks have been Antonio Brown Emmanuel Sanders.

473
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: So defenses look at this and go, wow, this is

474
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be very easy for us to gain plan against.

475
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: You know, you obviously you're going to target the big guy,

476
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, but then we can also have good matchups

477
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: for Emmanuel Sanders. Well, now that Miller's back into the

478
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: bold of things, now all of a sudden, you're gonna

479
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: start seeing less coverage going towards uh, Emmanuel Sanders, And

480
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a perfect opportunity. He's

481
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: getting the targets from a big band right now, eight

482
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: targets you know, per game. Almost I like Emmanuel Sander

483
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: to really have a breakout game. And I know his

484
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: numbers aren't impressive, but you know, you look at this matchup,

485
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: especially going up against guys like Kyle Wilson and d

486
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: Milner on that other side, I think that's could be

487
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: a good, good one for Emmanuel Sanders well, and especially

488
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: turning the fact that Jets are very good against the run,

489
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: no one's been able to really gash him this year.

490
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: It gonna be a tough one for Levy on Bell

491
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: coming off the by so they might have to air

492
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: it out, all right, Marcus, you like someone who could

493
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: carry the ball thirty five times for thirty eight yards

494
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: this week? Absolutely? I am big on Willis mcgai. You know,

495
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: I know a couple of weeks ago Willis mcgaiki said, look,

496
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be Trent Richardson. What you're talking about

497
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: willis to run for three yards to carry. You can

498
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: do that, but the fact is they're giving him more

499
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: and more touches in that offense. So yes, maybe it

500
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: is three yards to carry, but if he's getting twenty

501
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: five or thirty carries the game, it turns out to

502
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: be a pretty decent number when it's all said and done.

503
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: It's not a sexy start. It's not a start that

504
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: people are rushing to get off the waiver wire, but

505
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: it's something that if you're hurting at that running back spot,

506
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: and we pretty much all are across fantasy football, who's who?

507
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: He is a guy that you should be looking at.

508
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: And Todd Bridges will join the show later on. Those

509
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: are your Fantasy Spotlights, presented by Hotels dot Com. You

510
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,600

511
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: When we return our answers to your quarterback questions couldn't

512
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: mean the difference between a big win or an embarrassing loss.

513
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: But first, are you staring at the bottom of your

514
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: roster dreading who you have to start? Don't threat, We'll

517
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: games across the land. A big part of that tight end.

Speaker 1: to stick around hashtag Sanchez, probably truson more game previewsers,

522

Speaker 1: straight Ahead, and sleepers, busts and picks. Keep it locked

523
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Live, the official fantasy football show

524
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. Welcome back Jason Smith alongside

525
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, akbar Baja Biamila and Adam Rank. I'm gonna

526
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: get to some triplets in a couple of seconds, but first,

527
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: some news out of Seattle. Percy Harvin eligible to come

528
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: off the pup list after week seven, whoever Head coach

529
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll says not so fast. Likely not going to

530
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: play that at that early Marcus, is it time to

531
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: stash harvn I think it's definitely time to stash Percy Harvan.

532
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were waiting on her

533
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Harvard to come back, a lot of people are hoping

534
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: to draft him before the season. That didn't really happen.

535
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: But he's going to be back soon. Probably not Week

536
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: seven like Jason mentioned, But at this point, you go

537
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: out and get Percy Harvard and you have a nice

538
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver option waiting on your bench. Yeah. For me,

539
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I just think when you're dealing with injuries, especially injury

540
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: like Percy Harvin has, I think it's just too early

541
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: to try to stash him right away. You're right now

542
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: in the meat of your fantasy football season, and all

543
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're gonna look around to try to

544
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: staff somebody. You need those spots, especially right now. I mean,

545
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: guys are thirsty for position players, especially we look at

546
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: that running back position. I'd stay away from Percy Harvin,

547
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: probably wait another week or two before I try to

548
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: you know, getting that that Percy Harvan race, did you

549
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: because we had I had Terrence Williams and I looked

550
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: at it and with Miles Austin possibly coming back, and

551
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'm gonna pitch him. I'm gonna

552
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: pick up Percy Harvon hold onto him. I might not

553
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: need him, but I'm keeping him from the same guy

554
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 1: that drafted Rob Gunkowski. Trade for people to keep other

555
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: people from getting them. There you go, all right. Every

556
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: week owners look at their fleeting roster options where they

557
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: know they have to play somebody but really aren't happy

558
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: about it. Every week you stare at a double digit

559
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: performance on your bench. So who might break out this week?

560
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: Let's find out a bar. We've had three big time

561
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: running backs who were taking the last couple of weeks

562
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: in your free agent draft, Zach Stacy, Legarrett Blunt, Andre Hellington.

563
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Ellington has a tough matchup against the Niners on Sunday.

564
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: Who's your guy of this list that could break out

565
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: and give you a double digit performance? Well, there's no

566
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: hesitation in my voice. Le Garrett Blunt been high on

567
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: Blunt this entire time because when I look at Lagarre

568
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: Blunt and the way they Bill Belichick is using his offense,

569
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: he's a thumper. A thumper is a guy who's gonna

570
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: wear down your defense And think about the game plan

571
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: for this game. You're going up against an atomic offense

572
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: like the New Orleans Saints. How do you get ball control?

573
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna run the ball. That's gonna be the best

574
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: way to take keep control of the ball and get

575
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: your offensive removing. And he's gonna be a red zone guy.

576
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be your goal line guy. It's a garant blood,

577
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. All those guys worth owning. Blunt

578
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: is the breakout guy all right, Adam Rank, some wide

579
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: receivers and Kwan Baldwin who has been up and down,

580
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Ken Berrell Tompkins, Keenan Allen, who's your best guy to

581
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: break out double digit performance this week? I really like

582
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen to break out this week And you could

583
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: almost argue that he has started to break out because

584
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: his targets, receptions, and receiving yards have increased. In his

585
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: last two games. He started to show why he had

586
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: that first round talent. He he compares very favorably to

587
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: a Juan Baldwin. He was a rookie with the Arizona Cardinals.

588
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: He had that fantastic rookie season. I don't know if

589
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is gonna get those type of numbers, getting

590
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: well over a thousand yards, but he has clearly become

591
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: Philip rivers top option in that offense. So I picked up.

592
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: I started against the Colt and I understand the Colts

593
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: had been tough on the road. You know who they

594
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: played on the road, the Jags in Florty Niners. They

595
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: weren't really playing these offensive juggernauts to start Keenan Allen

596
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, Arrow going up next to Alan Vincent

597
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: Brown going down next to Eddie Royal. Alright, Marcus, Danny Woodhead,

598
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, Pierre Thomas, big running back questions, everybody has him.

599
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: Who's your guy? Double digits this week, no doubt about it,

600
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead. I know that rank was big on Keenan Allen.

601
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm staying with the San Diego Superchargers. Danny Woodhead a dot.

602
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: The buzzword this year in the NFL has been multiple

603
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: guys who can play multiple positions, wide receivers who can

604
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: line up in multiple slots. Danny Woodhead is one of

605
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: those guys. He doesn't get the hype of maybe a

606
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush or Lashawn McCoy, but he runs the ball well,

607
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: he catches the ball while you see him taking shovel

608
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: passes here on the inside. The Colts are giving up

609
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred and thirty rushing yards, third most of

610
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And if the Chargers can't drive,

611
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: they can fly. Danny woodheads involved in every facet of

612
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: the game for this offense. I like him a lot

613
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: of this. You know what I like? I like multiple

614
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: like running backs and getting multiple points. Not many guys

615
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: outside of the top three. That's what I look for.

616
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: I want to see that double digit on my board.

617
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: All right. The fantasy train continues here and coming up,

618
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: We've gotten more bus for this weekend. Don't get caught

619
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: looking like a sucker playing these must start mirages. And

620
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: later we sort out the quarterback jumble going on from

621
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: coast to coast. Who to start? Who to sit? We

622
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: peered into the fantasy crystal ball on NFL Fantasy Live.

623
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: October is here, which means the temperature is dropping. What

624
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: can we expect Sunday? Let's find out from our fantasy meteorologist,

625
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Jim Cosick from ABC four in Salt Lake City. What's up, Jim, Hey,

626
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: listen if you're a Giants fan, because they're the new

627
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs this year, you should just go leaf peeping and

628
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: pumpkin picking for the rest of the season. Man, that

629
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: is a rough start. But let me tell you about

630
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: some rough weather as well, being that you brought it

631
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: up here, Jason, some system on the east coast. Now

632
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: some of this is gonna peel off to the north

633
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: and east, but we're still going to have this plume

634
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: of moisture wrapped into M and T Bank Stadium this weekend.

635
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: But it's the first of three features that I'm keeping

636
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: tabs on because all this down here, that's the Gulf

637
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: of Mexico that's coming into Texas this weekend as well.

638
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: And this storm system up here, the cool front that's

639
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: running on over toward Cleveland and Buffalo. But really that's

640
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: only a couple of light showers. I don't think it's

641
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a big deal with the Cincinnati and Detroit visiting, respectively.

642
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: So the bottom line in terms of a forecast, let's

643
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: make it down for you early bird game MMT Bank.

644
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned Packers Ravens. I think it's better than at

645
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: for rain, but it's light rain. What could be a

646
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: bigger concern is the wind and the cool air, to

647
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: say the least. But down to Texas, they have the

648
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: option of the retractable roof. They'll most likely use them

649
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: because showers and thunderstorms will be on the problem for

650
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: the Texans and Rams, and there definitely will be rain

651
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: in Dallas bar none, so unlike the old Texas Stadium,

652
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: they'll most likely close the roof this time around. So

653
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: my call out list four weeks six and I know

654
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Ray Rice was ohesome last week with over twenty points. Hey,

655
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: that was in the Florida heat humidity. Now you're back

656
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: home in the chill and the dampness and the breeze.

657
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Two point nine yards per carry. I'm taking a pass

658
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Meanwhile, last time he played in the rain

659
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: of Buffalo. Completion rate, quarterback rating, five picks. You do

660
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 1: the math. Green Bay defense great against the run, terrible

661
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: against the past. So Flacco may try to counteract that somehow.

662
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: And last but not least, justin Tucker, he's doing great

663
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: this year, No if Andrew Butts, But let me tell

664
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: you something, with this breeze and a kicker from Texas,

665
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: I think there's better options out there. Gentlemen. All right,

666
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: thanks a bunch, Jim appreciated. Let's say you look at

667
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: some more games. Yeah, Jim, give us some advice, right there, Marcus,

668
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Redskins and the Cowboys.

669
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: Give me, give me the winner of this game, and

670
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: give me a sleeper and a bust. So I think

671
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be the Cowboys that win this thing,

672
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Ford to thirty one. I'm looking for a high scoring

673
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: affair in this win against a couple of defenses that

674
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: have struggled. The guy I think you keep an eye

675
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: on is Jordan Read. I know a lot of people

676
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: are saying who is Jordan Read. He's the tight end

677
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: for the Washington Redskins. He's the guy who was taking

678
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: over for Fred Davis, and I think he's a guy

679
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: you really keep an eye on. It's the kind of

680
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: thing where the Cowboys are giving up a lot of

681
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: points to fantasy tight end. He's starting to get more

682
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: looks in that offense. He's definitely taken over as I

683
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: mentioned for Fred Davis. I think he's a guy who's

684
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: going to kind of surprise some folks. If you've got

685
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez who's on a buy. If you've got Rob

686
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: Gronkowski that you're worried about, I think you're starting to

687
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: look maybe at Jordan Read on the other side. A

688
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: guy that I'm kind of worried about for this one,

689
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson. I think Garson is the guy that that

690
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: you're going to play, but you temperate your expectation. And

691
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I say that because last week, when the Broncos ran

692
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: up and down the field against that Dallas Cowboys defense,

693
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: the Barrious Thomas had just fifty seven receiving yards and

694
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: the Redskins receiving corps is not nearly as deep as

695
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: what Denver has. If the Cowboys can lock down to

696
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, I use a pretty good chance they can

697
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: lock down on Pierre Garson as well. I'm starting Garsona

698
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: in my flex and the ex personally don't really picked

699
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: me right up right? Alright? How about Cults and the

700
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: Chargers could be so many fantasy points on Monday night?

701
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: Bar do you see it that way? Well, you know,

702
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: I got this game right now goingen the Colts, but

703
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: I do like a guy for the San Diego Chargers

704
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: as a sleeper, and that's Vincent Brown. Vincent Brown, to

705
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: me is a guy that he is the most targeted

706
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver there for Philip Rivers, and everyone is falling

707
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: in love with Keenan Allen, like, oh, Keenan Allen is

708
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: the guy you know, because he's just drafted. You know,

709
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: he's just the new guy. He's a new guy in town.

710
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: But Vincent Brown is a guy that's really getting it done.

711
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: And when you look at his production, yes, he hasn't

712
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: been in the end zone. That's been Eddie Royal. But

713
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: when you get a ton of targets, when you're leading

714
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: that team, that means opportunity. He's gonna be knocking at

715
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: your door. And this guy is a great route runner.

716
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in the offense right now that Philip

717
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: Rivers knows the defensive coordinator, yes, that's right. When you

718
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: look at Greg Monusky, Gregg and Dusky was the linebacker

719
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: coach for the actual Sandy Chargers and this is essentially

720
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: the same defense that the Chargers are running right now.

721
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: So he sees us all the time at practice. There's

722
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: nothing gonna be new for this guy. All right. Your

723
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: bust is t Y Hilton, Yes, t Y Hilton to

724
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: meet you know, off to a great start last week,

725
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's just going google for t Y Hilton.

726
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: It's singing the y n C A song and everything.

727
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: But what happened to alshon Jeffrey on Thursday Night Football?

728
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: It went back to Brandon Marshall. Same thing is gonna

729
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: happen here. Everything is gonna go right back to Reggie Wayne.

730
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: He's going to be the focus point. He is the

731
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: guy in this offense. T Y Hilton is just a

732
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: compliment wide receiver, but very talented. I'm not bagging on him.

733
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's gonna be Reggie Wayne's game, all right, Adam, Right,

734
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: you have the Panthers and the Vikings. How do you

735
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: see this sleeper in Bus Sanks by the way. For

736
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: that you get these two great games. I got this game.

737
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: I like the Panthers that come out of head sixteen.

738
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna start getting little bit of a group here.

739
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is gonna start playing a little bit better.

740
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: But the sleeper that I like, and I hate to

741
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: even mention this guy as a sleeper, but I'm gonna

742
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: say Steve Smith. Now, if you look at his past

743
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, it hasn't been very good. He's failed

744
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: to top seven fantasy points in his last three games.

745
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: But now he's got a great matchup going up against

746
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Not many teams give up more yardage,

747
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: two receivers and quarterbacks and everything in the Minnesota Vikings,

748
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: they'll really be able to throw on them. We're really

749
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna see Cam Newton step up and start to target

750
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Steve Smith because they kind of get him involved that

751
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers are going to be successful, they've got to

752
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: target him some more. So I look for Steve to

753
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: really have a huge impact on this offense and play

754
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: one of his best games of the season. Now, if

755
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at somebody who could possibly be a

756
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: bus I'm gonna say Kyle Rudolph, which seems like an

757
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: obvious choice because Kyle Rudolph just has not played very

758
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: well this season. If you look at the numbers, they're

759
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: not very good. He's top four Fantasy points just once,

760
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: four four to zero. That's not good for any tight

761
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: ends or anything, especially when we're seeing such huge games

762
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: out of Jordan Cameron, Julius Thomas, a guys like that.

763
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: So Kyle Rudolph has been one of the biggest disappointments

764
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: so far this season, so I stay away. Plus, the

765
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers have been pretty tough on tight ends this season.

766
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: They've locked them down, had some really good at games

767
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: against them, So I I just avoid Kyle Rudolph. All right.

768
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: How about Greg Jennings. He's got that big contract that

769
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: it looks like the last couple of games he's really

770
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: been coming on. Can you trust him now? I like

771
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings going forward. I I think when you're looking

772
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: at some of your low end options out there, that

773
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: he's This game is gonna be tough because that front

774
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: seven now is gonna put so much pressure on the quarterback.

775
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: It makes it very hard to find a guy like

776
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings. So I mean, especially in this game. I

777
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: don't know that this is Greg Jennings game. All Right,

778
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: There we go for more of our updates again, check

779
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: everything out at NFL dot com. Now time to welcome

780
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: to the program one of the big rising stars in

781
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League this season, Denver Broncos tight end

782
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas. You at least welcome to the show. Thank

783
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: you for having me. All Right, So the first thing

784
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: we want to know is is do you guys as

785
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: the past catchers play rock paper scissors to see who

786
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: catches all the touchdowns like the running backs do. No,

787
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, we lead that to the running backs. Uh,

788
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, we just we just do our best job

789
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: to get open and uh, Peyton's been doing a great

790
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: job of finding us. You guys have had an incredible

791
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: pace so far. What's the likelihood you can keep it

792
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: up and play at this pace? Um, you know, I

793
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: think that we'll be able to continue. You know, I

794
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: don't know how we'll always be able to score fifty

795
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: points a game, but um, you know, as far as

796
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: the tempo of our offense goes, that's something that we'll

797
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: be able to continue throughout the season. Something we worked

798
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: on in the off season and uh, you know we

799
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: practice at it, so uh, I think we'll be able

800
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: to continue to play at that tempo for the rest

801
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: of the year. You guys are running the ball a

802
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: lot with with more success was anticipated. Do you think

803
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: that might be a bigger part of the offense going forward? Um,

804
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, as long as we're able to run the ball,

805
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, that's something we want to keep on doing.

806
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: We don't want to become unbalanced passing. Um, and excuse me,

807
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: unbalanced offense. So you know, if it's passing or it's running,

808
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: we want to be able to mix it up, keep defenses. Um,

809
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, a little off balance. And you know that's

810
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: something that we keep on doing. Everybody's talking about Peyton

811
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: Manning the kind of season he's having. What is it

812
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: for you? The key to this big breakout season? He's

813
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: having a thirty eight. Um. You know, I think that

814
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: it's the second year with us guys around here. You know,

815
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times people don't understand how hard it

816
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: is to come get chemistry with a bunch of new players.

817
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, quarterback has to work with a line and backs,

818
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: tight end receivers. So I think this all the season,

819
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: we were really able to jail and come together and

820
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: focus on like a lot of the finer things that

821
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: we can do out there offensively, and I think that's

822
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: really what's allowing us to have so much success. All right.

823
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: Now you're being mentioned with names like Jimmy Graham and

824
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. Now, how does that make you feel? It

825
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: makes me feel good. H You know, I've had a

826
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: little bit of a rocky start early on in my career,

827
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: but you know, I always say you know, wanted to

828
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: stick with it, keep working, keep on trying to improve

829
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: and whichever way I could at the time, because you know,

830
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: I always felt like I had the ability to come

831
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: out there and make big players on Sundays, but you know,

832
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: I had to put myself in a position to do

833
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: so so to be included with those guys who have

834
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: been playing at a high level for a long time.

835
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really grateful and I feel blessed to

836
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: be a breakout number one being hell the uh it's

837
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: been a long time, you know, battling through an injury,

838
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: and also you know our coaches, Um, they done a

839
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: great job of preparing me to be able to plan

840
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: me and it's kind of like one of my first

841
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: season where I've I've got to play a lot even

842
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: though it's my third year. So um, they do a

843
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: great job and get me ready for the game. All right, Now,

844
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: you have the Jaguars this week. How are you approaching

845
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: this game offensively? It's the same mindset as we're approaching

846
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the other game. We want to go out there and

847
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: try to score every time we touched the field as

848
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: an offense. One of our goals it's try and put

849
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: points on the board board every time we touch it,

850
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we had to go out there

851
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: and then prepare diligently. You know, we do a lot

852
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: and um, it's real meticulous and we go out there

853
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: and practice. So we've got to keep that up and

854
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: stay ready and prepared because we gotta keep rolling on offense.

855
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas appreciate the time, continued success, look forward to

856
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: talking me down the road. All right, thanks for having me.

857
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: All Right, there goes Julius Thomas, one of the big

858
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: breakout guys in the NFL this season. Ak Bar, what

859
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: have you seen watching tape of him that tells you, yeah,

860
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: this guy is for real. Well, his athleticism stands out.

861
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: I mean, this kid has the ability to run past linebackers.

862
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: And what quarterbacks like so much about these these types

863
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: of athletes is the fact that they're former basketball players,

864
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: so you know that they have it in them. Their

865
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: routes are a lot closer to the quarterback than your

866
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers who are far out there guys. Those guys

867
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: are running a lot of those seam routes. But when

868
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: you look at a basketball player, which is essentially a

869
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver going up against a linebacker. It's a mismatch,

870
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: and so those linebackers have a hard time turning their

871
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: hips and actually keeping coverage with this guy like that,

872
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: and he can just blow buy you. So that's why

873
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: these tight ends, especially guys like Julius Thomas, is so

874
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: successful and Peyton man can trust them. Can he keep

875
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: it up? Absolutely? Alright? Their philosophy is attack, attack, attack,

876
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: as you've heard Thomas say just moments ago. NFL Fantasy

877
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Life concludes with our coveted quarterback discussion. After this, the

878
00:39:51,840 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: touchdown touchdowns crossing touchdown quarterback questions dominate the conversation in

879
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy Genius every week is big name quarterbacks don't live

880
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: up to their draft position. So to help, we'll look

881
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: at less hyped, overperforming quarterbacks that you should consider starting

882
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: over your current starter. First, here's some guys you drafted

883
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: as you're likely number one quarterbacks. These are guys that

884
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: went as far as the top ten quarterbacks gone in

885
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: your draft. Look at the draft position, average draft position

886
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, r G three,

887
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, all the fourth through ninth quarterbacks taken overall,

888
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: and look at where their fantasy points rank. Brady is

889
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: twenty of Cam Newton kaepernicky r G three is sixteen,

890
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: though he did have a by Russell Wilson thirteen. How

891
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: about these guys who could be replacements. Tony Romo drafted

892
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: is the eleventh quarterback overall likely, Alex Smith was twenty,

893
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers twenty one, Sam Bradford, And look at where

894
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: they rank. Romo is third, Smith is twelve, Philip Rivers

895
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: is fourth, and Sam Bradford is ninth. So can you

896
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: start a I like Philip Rivers over somebody on that

897
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: first list? So Philip Rivers is he? Is he a

898
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: guy that's become a must start over one of those players? Yeah,

899
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: he's absolute must start. I mean we look at the

900
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: level that he's playing, and he's playing back in like

901
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: old Philip Rivers. I'd play him over a guy like

902
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right now, just because he's got the guys around.

903
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a sexy wide receiver corps. He's just

904
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: got guys who are blue collar and we'll get it

905
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: done for you, all right. How about Tony Romo? Right? Yeah? Absolutely?

906
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: I drafted Tony Roman our Experts League to be my

907
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: number one quarterback for this very reason, because he is

908
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: a top five talent. He has proven in the past,

909
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: and when he gets the opportunity, he can certainly put

910
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 1: up big numbers. I would start him over any of

911
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: those guys that you would looked at on that previous board.

912
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: This guy likes guys like Colin Kaepernick, Tom Brady, people

913
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: like that. Tony Romo is going to continue to put

914
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: up huge numbers. And the one thing I really like

915
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: about him, and I'm looking a little bit of a head, Okay,

916
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: his playoff matchups look fantastic. And you know what, that's

917
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: so confident you're gonna make it. That's something to consider.

918
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, you talked about breathing it into life there,

919
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: all right, Marcus, how about Alex Smith? I like Alex

920
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: Smith over just about everybody on that list, except maybe

921
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. They're about even. But the one thing I

922
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: will say about him, what I mentioned in my weekly

923
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: Going Deep common you can find on NFL dot com

924
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has been one of the best fantasy quarterbacks

925
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: this year at home. So if he's got a matchup

926
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: at home and you're waffling about him versus somebody else,

927
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: I like Alex Smith a whole lot. And I think

928
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: what helps a lot is that because not at least

929
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball. I mean, he's still gonna be

930
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: captain checked down, that's probably part of who he is.

931
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: But he's running the football a whole lot more and

932
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: that is adding fantasy value to what Alex Smith. Alex

933
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: Smith has been on point right now, don't hate on

934
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: on my man, Alex Smith. How about Sam Bradford? For me,

935
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: it's still too much stop and go that I can

936
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: put him in above guys that I drafted with a

937
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: higher pedigree. Where are you guys on Bradford? Absolutely not

938
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: consistent enough. Yeah, you know, I'm cool matchup based only,

939
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: you're cool on me? He's like every time, Yeah, every

940
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: time you want to believe in him, he burned you. Yeah,

941
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: you're just all right. There we go. That's it for
