Speaker 1: what's happening, Bud Greggy? We got a lot going down
Speaker 1: already Week eight, nearly in the books. We have a
Speaker 1: monster matchup tonight between the Dolphins and the Pittsburgh Steers.
Speaker 1: We also got a lot of trades going down. Gregg says,
Speaker 1: to talk about lots talk about are you going to uh,
Speaker 1: we'll be watching the game to night, sure, of course,
Speaker 1: m you you won't be well. We have we have something.
Speaker 1: I have some batchors in the balance right with James
Speaker 1: Connor and Jujue. I'll be checking it out. We have
Speaker 1: one in the balance. We have the do It's also
Speaker 1: the season finale of Halloween Baking Championship. Goodness, it's the
Speaker 1: season finale. First. There are things you just don't reveal
Speaker 1: on the air, Greg Bet, and that was one of them.
Speaker 1: It's I appreciate your transparency. I would appreciate if you
Speaker 1: tell me that off the air. We could talk about it, sure,
Speaker 1: and then break it down for you. Probably shouldn't have
Speaker 1: told everybody that listeners. I want everyone to know the truth.
Speaker 1: I'll be watching football. I mean, as as ugly as
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. I don't know what to expect. Nixon
Speaker 1: and Bulls will be just as bus Yeah, not a
Speaker 1: great one, one, all right. Let me get into yesterday
Speaker 1: around the NFL, and let me begin in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: where the Four Nighters decimated the Carolina after yesterday, and
Speaker 1: this style of offense, well, not exactly exciting, not exactly
Speaker 1: game changing or a game breaking, but we said a
Speaker 1: lot in fantasy football, when you know what you're going
Speaker 1: to get, makes the world a whole lot easier. The
Speaker 1: San Francisco four Niners, they run the football and play
Speaker 1: great defense. That's all they do. And now we know
Speaker 1: who those running backs are. It was Matt Brina and
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. And when one of those guys go down,
Speaker 1: as they did yesterday, it becomes all about one. And
Speaker 1: now it's Tevin Coleman. He scored four times yesterday. He
Speaker 1: looked fantastic against Carolina defense. Frank, that's been pretty good
Speaker 1: over the last month. They play on Thursday night. I
Speaker 1: doubt Matt Brina plays. We'll see soon where he emotionally
Speaker 1: was talking about him in a moment. But Tevin Coleman
Speaker 1: certainly was a winner yesterday. Yeah, absolutely massive winner. Eleven
Speaker 1: carries a hundred and five yards, three rushing touchdowns average
Speaker 1: nine point five yards per carrie. And you said it right, Greig.
Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty Niners want to run the football.
Speaker 1: Entering Week eight, the highest rush percentage in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and that's not going to change it. At thirty eight
Speaker 1: rushing attempts yesterday, why would it They just beat the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers fifty once a thirteen on the back or
Speaker 1: the legs rather of Tevin Coleman, of Matt Breda, of
Speaker 1: Raheem Mostard. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it work.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna continue to roll out with what has
Speaker 1: been working. And as also, as you mentioned Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: running backs, no matter where he goes, you want his
Speaker 1: running backs for fantasy. You have been saying it for years.
Speaker 1: You've been at Carlos Hyde guy for years. And although
Speaker 1: Carlo Carlos Hyde is not playing with Kyle Shanahan, he's
Speaker 1: having a great years. That's a greggy guy. But ultimately
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman has ascended into a high nd RB two.
Speaker 1: I really do believe that the way that this offensive
Speaker 1: line is playing right now, even without their tackles, they're
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. And
Speaker 1: if Matt Breeda can't go on Thursday night because of
Speaker 1: the short week, he Mostard becomes one of the more
Speaker 1: interesting waiver wire pickups this week. Just he most is
Speaker 1: kind of sneaky weaver wire pickup right like he's not
Speaker 1: a starter. Everyone saw Tivin Coleman have those four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in this past week. I don't think most are cost
Speaker 1: you all that much on the waiver wire. And if
Speaker 1: you're desperate where four teams have a bye this week,
Speaker 1: you're in a good spot of h Mooster. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Raheemoster has been really explosive so far in his career.
Speaker 1: Greg his ninety five rushing attempts in the NFL, he's
Speaker 1: averaging over six yards per carries, so all of those
Speaker 1: have all of those carriers have basically come with Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan again does a great job of scheming his running
Speaker 1: backs to success. Raheem Mostart has been one of the
Speaker 1: beneficiaries of that. And I think you know, if Matt
Speaker 1: Brina can't go on Thursday night, we just saw what
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray did against at Arizona Cardinals defense, where he
Speaker 1: put up over a hundred and fifty total yards. He
Speaker 1: had two total touchdowns, nine receptions. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: in San Francisco forty Niners are gonna be playing with
Speaker 1: the lead, which means that they're going to be running
Speaker 1: the football, So I'm right there with you. Is Matt
Speaker 1: Brita the Anthony Davis of fantasy football? He leaves in
Speaker 1: the middle of every game, No, because he's not the
Speaker 1: number one over Yeah, I mean he's not. He's not
Speaker 1: one of the best players. But in terms of this situation,
Speaker 1: constantly leaving midgame and then coming back and playing the
Speaker 1: next week, and I'm still being good. Yeah, he's Davis.
Speaker 1: Euel Sanders got the end of yesterday for San Francisco,
Speaker 1: didn't do all that much other than that for Jimmy
Speaker 1: g and the offense didn't have to pass the ball
Speaker 1: all that much. Immanuel Sanders played a lot. As Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan promise, what's his value going vard, I think it's
Speaker 1: still a wide receiver three. I said this on Friday
Speaker 1: or whenever the trade was made that I didn't really
Speaker 1: think that things changed ultimately for Emmanuel Sanders, Like he
Speaker 1: gets a step up in quarterback play with Garoppolo, But again,
Speaker 1: the forty Niners run the ball so much, are there
Speaker 1: gonna be enough targets to go around? So yesterday they
Speaker 1: only had twenty two targets overall in this game, and
Speaker 1: he had five of those. So that's the twenty three
Speaker 1: percent target share, which is fine, but again it was
Speaker 1: only five targets, so I would label this one of
Speaker 1: the situations. I'm not gonna say that he's a winner
Speaker 1: just because he scored a touchdowner. He's not a loser.
Speaker 1: But they want to run the football and when they
Speaker 1: throw it, George Kittle is still going to be the
Speaker 1: leader on this team in terms of targets. So I
Speaker 1: would say it's it's a pretty lateral move for Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders again coming over from denvertson situation, There's is a
Speaker 1: lot about the a lot of Panthers team. Yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: a lot of alcol Cana Panthers. In a second, um,
Speaker 1: not they pettish your boy, Mark, He's Goodwin was a
Speaker 1: healthy stratch. Not they had is still had the fourth
Speaker 1: most snaps at wide receiver yesterday or this ports team
Speaker 1: once again, not great Bob, Not great Bob at all, Greg,
Speaker 1: And thanks for bringing up my boy Dante Pettis. Every
Speaker 1: time that we can remind ourselves of being wrong for something,
Speaker 1: we might as well do it right. So that is
Speaker 1: coming into the season that has not worked out at all.
Speaker 1: I think he's a talented player, right like, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. We saw what he did as a rookie,
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch last year. Just hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to find his footing so far this year. Really weird
Speaker 1: starts of the preseason UH and training camp, and Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan was trying to kind of push the envelope with
Speaker 1: UH with Dante Pettison get the most out of him,
Speaker 1: but he has not responded well. Greg. Perhaps we talked
Speaker 1: about this on the other side as well. The Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: One of the winners here, somebody who didn't even play,
Speaker 1: Ham Newton, absolutely Cam Newton finally could be coming and yeah,
Speaker 1: starting job. Sneak, Yeah, I won't cost you that much.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, you really good. Everybody else not so much.
Speaker 1: It was a little sneak peek of what's to come
Speaker 1: when we returned your winners, your losers, and the rest

Speaker 1: us up, hit us up and follow us. Frankie was
Speaker 1: a lot of good insight, and I usually doesn't sell
Speaker 1: frank so it's pretty good. I guess right events who
Speaker 1: you ask? I think it's got. I enjoy it all right,
Speaker 1: let's get into with Danny. Let's break it down the
Speaker 1: winners the losers in from week over nine week the
Speaker 1: BFFs presents winners I won, I won, Losers you suck.
Speaker 1: You are one pathetic loser and I have no idea
Speaker 1: what's going Winners losers and from a week number eight
Speaker 1: the biggest losers, well they're in Arizona and they're really
Speaker 1: the fantasy owners that own the Arizona Cardinal running Backs.
Speaker 1: Because things went from bad do a whole worse this morning.
Speaker 1: David Johnson didn't play yesterday Chase Edmonds got her yesterday.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals play on Thursday night. The only running backs
Speaker 1: on the roster were Zack Zenner and Alfred Morris until
Speaker 1: now Frank. They traded for Kenyan Drake this morning. Kind
Speaker 1: of surprise everybody because we thought Kenyan Drake would land
Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions. We knew that he would be traded,
Speaker 1: just didn't know where. And now is the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: So I love to see what happens whether they place
Speaker 1: a David Johnson or a Chase Edmunds on I R.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine that one or both of
Speaker 1: their injuries are really bad for them to go out
Speaker 1: and make this trade for Kenyan Drake. Obviously here this
Speaker 1: morning on it they jump in and it looks like
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is probably gonna have to play on the
Speaker 1: short week, I mean, not really knowing the playbook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it's just gonna be all right. We'll take
Speaker 1: the ball and run up the middle and try and
Speaker 1: make the most out of it. And you know they'll
Speaker 1: they'll target him a few times as well, but they
Speaker 1: just need healthy bodies. Chase Edmund's leave yesterday with the
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. It seems like it's gonna be pretty severe.
Speaker 1: He's likely going to miss a couple of weeks. David
Speaker 1: Johnson still dealing with the ankle, still dealing with the back.
Speaker 1: And then when everybody's healthy, what do they do then?
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake play wide receiver, David Johnson play a little
Speaker 1: bit of wide receiver. I would imagine that one or
Speaker 1: both of these guys is probably going to land on
Speaker 1: I R. Gregg. I don't know why else they would
Speaker 1: have made this move. I assume we'll find that out
Speaker 1: later on today. Arizona of course out west, so they
Speaker 1: have their press conferences and conference calls a little bit later.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get even more information there. Kennyan Drake's
Speaker 1: gonna play on Thursday night kind of like him. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be at least a low end RB two,
Speaker 1: high end flex. I mean, I don't know that he's
Speaker 1: gonna play a full compliment of snaps. It's still his
Speaker 1: first game with the team, and it's on a short week,
Speaker 1: so you have to be realistic. And it's a bad
Speaker 1: matchup going up against San Francisco, so all those things
Speaker 1: kind of playing against each other. He's probably more of
Speaker 1: a flex player than anything else. Greig absolutely a flexi
Speaker 1: play here against San Francisco, the rest of the Cardinals
Speaker 1: team yesterday and in a brutal loss to New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: What was all said and done? Larry Fitzgerald drops touchdown pass. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyla Murray's worst game in a while. Um for
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, Christian Kirk great winner back, big winner,
Speaker 1: big winner yesterday. Um. Of course once again, once again,
Speaker 1: this team plays again on Thursday night football New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: On the other side, Drew Brees returned as a winner. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he was awesome. I do want to start with Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk real quick his first game back, going up against
Speaker 1: it tougher New Orleans secondary where I don't know if
Speaker 1: he was shadowed by Marshawn Laddimer. Will have to pull
Speaker 1: that up and check it out, but ultimately still a
Speaker 1: tough secondary regardless. First game back. Leads a team in
Speaker 1: targets with eleven, leads the team and receptions with eight.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald over his last two games one reception for
Speaker 1: twelve yards, no touchdown on three targets two receptions for
Speaker 1: eight yards, no touchdown, only four targets, So Larry Fitzgerald,
Speaker 1: I think we're getting into drop territory. He has been
Speaker 1: that bad recently, and I think with Christian kirk Back
Speaker 1: that obviously affects his targets share. Moving forward, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: mentioned Drew Brees first game back, forty three pass attempts
Speaker 1: with the thumb. They clearly we're not worried about it.
Speaker 1: Looks like he's good to go. Three seventy three yards
Speaker 1: eight points seven yards per attempts, three passing touchdowns. Taysom Hill, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean they keep finding ways to get this guy involved.
Speaker 1: I mean, in the Super Flakes League, probably should be owned.
Speaker 1: Three receptions, sixty three yards and a touch down. He's
Speaker 1: basically their pseudo tight end right now. Lottavias Murray massive,
Speaker 1: massive performance, twelve targets, nine receptions, fifty five yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Michael Thomas just does what Michael Thomas does. Greg,
Speaker 1: I want to throw this back your way between Lettavias
Speaker 1: Murray and Alvin Camara. Moving forward, I think we might
Speaker 1: have closer to the situation we thought coming into the season. Obviously,
Speaker 1: there was that low earlier on where Alvin Kamara was
Speaker 1: seeing all the work and the offense wasn't clicking as
Speaker 1: much under Teddy Bridgewater and Letsavius Murray was not involved.
Speaker 1: But I think based on how well he's performed the
Speaker 1: past two weeks, I don't think that he just goes
Speaker 1: completely away after the bye week when Alvin Kamara is back,
Speaker 1: you know. So that is my first thought as well,
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna I don't necessarily want to buy
Speaker 1: Alan Kamara yet because Let'savias Murray is going to have
Speaker 1: a much larger role, at more Ingram like role in
Speaker 1: this offense. And then I thought back to Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I know everything's not related necessarily, but I think that's
Speaker 1: the Kansas City and Darryl Williams was awesome in the
Speaker 1: games that Damian Williams and Lashaw McCoy left early, and
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams in this monster monster role, and then when
Speaker 1: Damian Williams got healthy, Lashaw McCoy's ankle got healthy, Nary
Speaker 1: williamsn't play anymore because they wanted their better back on
Speaker 1: the field. Despite how good that Darryl Williams looked. I'm
Speaker 1: taking this New Orleans opportunities one where I don't want
Speaker 1: to get fooled again. To me, I think Alman Camara,
Speaker 1: who now has an extra week off because of the bye,
Speaker 1: to get even healthier. He's going to be back in
Speaker 1: week ten, and I think you see truly Latavia's Murray
Speaker 1: go back to the role that he had of nothing.
Speaker 1: I think the Almancamara shaw. I think the biggest difference
Speaker 1: though between the Chiefs and the Saints is that it's
Speaker 1: three as opposed to too, right, so I think that too.
Speaker 1: But but even yesterday right like Damian Williams barely still
Speaker 1: the feel until Shoa McCoy fumbled. But they have that
Speaker 1: luxury because they do have three running backs actually produce,
Speaker 1: so they can kind of pick and showing them are
Speaker 1: like Almn Kamara, No, absolutely, but I do think that
Speaker 1: based on what le Tavi s Murray has shown us
Speaker 1: again like he's not gonna get anywhere close to the
Speaker 1: work he's gotten the past two weeks once Kamara is back,
Speaker 1: but eight to twelve touches, eight to ten touches in
Speaker 1: the Saints offense behind that offensive line, I think that's
Speaker 1: still likely going to be in play for a flex
Speaker 1: week in and week out. Alvin Kamara, you know how
Speaker 1: good he is you know, if people are worried about
Speaker 1: his injury, you go out and you could buy Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara if you can. But ultimately, uh, would you be
Speaker 1: trying to trade Lettavias Murray too? Maybe an owner that's
Speaker 1: not paying his close attention. If you get like a
Speaker 1: wide receiver three in return or a a r B
Speaker 1: two that you can trust every single week, is that
Speaker 1: something you would be doing? Absolutely absolutely trying to trade
Speaker 1: Letabas Murray away. Would you trading for Christian Kirk? Yes,
Speaker 1: but it's tough because they'll buy the week this week, right,
Speaker 1: It depends where you are in the standings. Crazy crazy
Speaker 1: traded my Lea just went down Kenny Galladay from mark
Speaker 1: Ingram right up. It seems pretty fair and I'd probably
Speaker 1: lean slightly with Kenny Golladay. I probably agree with that.
Speaker 1: The team that acquired mark Ingram had just lost Chase
Speaker 1: Edmunds and David Johnson felt the need to go out
Speaker 1: and get a running back. Okay, since um spelling well,
Speaker 1: winners and losers, let me go to the in the
Speaker 1: City and Green Bay Sunday Night football from last night.
Speaker 1: Damie Williams after the Shawn McCoy fumble, he was a winner.
Speaker 1: He gobbled up all those snaps. He looked good on
Speaker 1: the field. Uh, Matt Moore did his job on the
Speaker 1: in this Kansas City offense, got Tyreek Hill the ball,
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey scores the touchdown right like it was. I
Speaker 1: think as good of a outing you could have hoped
Speaker 1: for from Matt more from a fantasy perspective, absolutely, And
Speaker 1: we said on Friday when we were pretty viewing the
Speaker 1: games that if you lost Patrick Mahomes and you played
Speaker 1: in a super flex league, that Matt Moore would be
Speaker 1: sufficient in two quarterback leagues. And that's exactly what he
Speaker 1: was six two d and sixty seven yards, two touchdown,
Speaker 1: seven point four yards per attempt. He was fine. He
Speaker 1: got the ball in the hands of his best players.
Speaker 1: That's all I can ask out of a backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey had eight targets yesterday, scored a touchdown Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: While he did not have a massive game, he had
Speaker 1: nine targets and a pretty consistent one six receptions for
Speaker 1: seventy six yards. So in a PPR league, I think
Speaker 1: ultimately you feel pretty good about that. La Shawn McCoy
Speaker 1: after he fumbled, did not see another carry or argut
Speaker 1: in that game yesterday for the Kansas City Chiefs. So
Speaker 1: just kind of jumbles this situation up again. Up until
Speaker 1: that point, before Sean McCoy fumbled, Damian Williams was nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. I mean I saw people tweeting, you know,
Speaker 1: where's Damian Williams? Remember that guy, guy who was like
Speaker 1: a second third round pick this here in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: He was nowhere. But then once Sean McCoy fumbled, Damian
Speaker 1: Williams was in there. This is not a good run
Speaker 1: blocking offensive line, so I really don't want to be
Speaker 1: involved with any of these guys. And there's three different
Speaker 1: running backs. So it's a very frustrating situation. But at
Speaker 1: least Matt Moore showed that he can keep Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: Entiree Hill fantasy biable, Greg lasera report, Chase Emmons gonna
Speaker 1: miss a few weeks with a hamstring strain, David Johnson
Speaker 1: banged up, not expected to go on i R. So
Speaker 1: we'll see because the Cardinals take a break. He's the
Speaker 1: green maside of things last night, and you around the
Speaker 1: NFL here, I want to be the next daily Fantasy millionaire.

Speaker 1: I'm not not being able to be trusted to throw
Speaker 1: the ball, and he won't be throwing the ball this
Speaker 1: weekend as he is out with a neck injury. Drew
Speaker 1: Lock not ready to go, which means Brandon Allen we'll
Speaker 1: get the start for the never Broncos. Right. I really
Speaker 1: can't tell you much about Brandon Allen outside of the
Speaker 1: fact that he is a former sixth round pick out
Speaker 1: of the University of Arkansas. He was drafted by the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. So we'll see how Brandon Allen fares this week.
Speaker 1: But ultimately I'm gonna go on. I'm gonna go out there,
Speaker 1: Greg and I'm gonna say that Courtland Sutton loser and
Speaker 1: the running back to the Denver Broncos losers. Although I
Speaker 1: guess it can't be much worse than what Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: is doing. Right, they were at least running the ball
Speaker 1: um somewhat successfully between Phil Lindsay and Royce Freeman. We
Speaker 1: saw Royce Freeman getting the end zone again, but Cortland
Speaker 1: Sutton was has been one of the most consistent wide
Speaker 1: receivers so far to the season, no offense. Finally coming
Speaker 1: off a game where he was targeted and had a
Speaker 1: lot of receptions, not a lot of yards, so maybe
Speaker 1: this actually helps. I mean, Joe Flacco wasn't really doing much,
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll have to see. Maybe he'll hopefully the
Speaker 1: quarterback relies on the tight end. No A fan who
Speaker 1: had a nice day yesterday, and I want to get
Speaker 1: into Denver in a moment um, but I want to
Speaker 1: go back to Green Bay and go back to Sunday
Speaker 1: Night football where Aaron Jones Jamal Williams both getting dawn
Speaker 1: last night well winners. Absolutely, I mean specifically Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: His usage in the past game eight targets, seven receptions,
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty nine yards, and two touchdowns. On
Speaker 1: that sixty seven yard touchdown, basically just went untouched and
Speaker 1: ran past everybody. It was good to see that he
Speaker 1: was dealing with. I believe it was a shoulder injury
Speaker 1: in the game. He left for a little bit, came
Speaker 1: back and still had this massive performance. Played more snaps
Speaker 1: than Jamal Williams yesterday. Jamal Williams most weeks will be
Speaker 1: in play as a low end flex option, maybe a
Speaker 1: bi week replacement, but it's it's still very obvious that
Speaker 1: even with Aaron Jones dropping a touchdown a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks to go, and yes, Jamal Williams kind of supplanted
Speaker 1: him for that game, Aaron Jones is still the guy
Speaker 1: here and is performing very well. Greg. Absolutely, Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Frank, Like, you hit in this morning and
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you think God, we didn't trade Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: That's the reason we won yesterday. That's the reason why
Speaker 1: we seemingly win most weeks. It's yeah, that's why most uh,
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones owners were winners yesterday, Greg, because ultimately had
Speaker 1: a massive performance even with leaving the game yesterday, ended
Speaker 1: up playing sixty percent of the Packers snaps. So it's
Speaker 1: a good sign for Aaron Jones. He's a clue winner. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and jama Williams though also winner. These wide
Speaker 1: receivers are game may none of them are winners. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it was on Alon Lazard as a winner
Speaker 1: because he played the same amount of snaps mvs and
Speaker 1: Jona wa Allison, But it's really a crapsheet right now.
Speaker 1: Until Davante Adams goes back. I don't really want to
Speaker 1: own any of them, and I've said that. I've said
Speaker 1: that the past couple of the way that they've been
Speaker 1: deploying these wide receivers and the way that they've been
Speaker 1: targeting is they just spread the ball around, and they've
Speaker 1: been using the running backs a lot more this year
Speaker 1: under the floor than Mike McCarthy ever has really throwing
Speaker 1: a lot of the running backs as well. So the
Speaker 1: wide receivers are basically the Packers wide receivers are uh
Speaker 1: into sent into obscurity right now, Greg, while there's no
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams, hopefully he's back for week nine. I believe
Speaker 1: he's missed the past three weeks, so I think it
Speaker 1: should be enough time for him to return. Hopefully, Devanta
Speaker 1: Adams is good to go. If he's healthy, you get
Speaker 1: him in your lineup. Outside of him, can't trust any
Speaker 1: of these Packers receivers. Packers receivers have been a big,
Speaker 1: big letdown in fantasy. I remember remember back in the summer,
Speaker 1: I drafted MVS and ger on him. Yeah, because it's
Speaker 1: a new offense, right, but everybody assumed that whoever emerged
Speaker 1: as the wide receiver too, was gonna have value because
Speaker 1: we saw basically throughout Aaron Rodgers career that he consistently
Speaker 1: produced another top thirty wide receiver, top twenty four in
Speaker 1: that range. But it's a new offense under Matt la Floor,
Speaker 1: and he's really is using these running backs more in
Speaker 1: the passing game, and that has really taken away any
Speaker 1: opportunity for another wide receiver to step up outside of
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams. Of course, so that neck injury UM hurts
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Going back to Denver hurts Courtland Suton running
Speaker 1: backs Denver yesterday. Uh, they wound up losing uh in
Speaker 1: that in that contest, and as I said, you were
Speaker 1: winning for most of it, they were. Joe Flacco not
Speaker 1: happy about kind of playing conservative right running the football,
Speaker 1: and he expressed that after the game the Antholis Colts
Speaker 1: came from behind. Jacobe Procette was al was sacked for
Speaker 1: his safety to at the end of the game, he
Speaker 1: was able to get the ball uh to t Y Hilton. Um.
Speaker 1: But the ragus and culture we want to say about
Speaker 1: this winner's losers stand out nothing exciting. Well, Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: first of all, you're an idiot because you threw the
Speaker 1: ball thirty two times and you average five point four
Speaker 1: yards per ten. Whose fault is that? Okay, maybe the
Speaker 1: play calling isn't great, but I mean you could take
Speaker 1: it upon yourself too audible to a different play. You
Speaker 1: can try and take shots down the field with Courtland
Speaker 1: Sutton and ultimately you average five point four yards per time.
Speaker 1: So I I understand that you want the play calling
Speaker 1: to be more aggressive, but you know, take it upon
Speaker 1: yourself as well. You're a veteran quarterback. If you want
Speaker 1: audible play, go ahead and do it. I mean the
Speaker 1: running backs. The past two weeks, it's been hard situation
Speaker 1: to figure out Greig because earlier on in the year,
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay was seeing a lot of the work inside
Speaker 1: of the red zone. But the past two weeks now
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman has scored inside that area of the field,
Speaker 1: so it looks like there really is no rhyme or
Speaker 1: reason to what's going on. I still do like Philip
Speaker 1: Lindsay in that RB two kind of area low end
Speaker 1: RB two and Royce Freeman is a high end FLEXI player.
Speaker 1: They have similar value, but Philip Lindsay a little bit
Speaker 1: more valuable because he is a more explosive player. Overall,
Speaker 1: we'll have to see, you know, what Brandon Allen can
Speaker 1: can do in terms of getting the ball in the
Speaker 1: hands of Quoteland Sutton and no a fan because again,
Speaker 1: like you said, just get if you're a backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: all we wanted to do is get the ball to
Speaker 1: those guys and kind of let them do what they do. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no offense did have it an eight target
Speaker 1: game yesterday and hopefully, you know, a backup quarterback could
Speaker 1: tend to lean on that tight end position. So No offense,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about him more tomorrow. Is the waiver wire pickup?
Speaker 1: Absolutely certainly somebody all along the waiver wire that you
Speaker 1: should consider picking up. Let's move on to Frank. I
Speaker 1: want to go over to London where jacksonvill. They played
Speaker 1: London this weekend. Cincinnati and l a go At went
Speaker 1: at it and as predicting the Rams dominated, Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: obviously does his thing. But there's a couple of things
Speaker 1: I really wanted to note from this game. The first,
Speaker 1: of course, Brandon Cooks is concussion. We'll talk about Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds on the program tomorrow. And I'm not somebody that
Speaker 1: even where I am in the standings that's going to
Speaker 1: trade for Brandon Cooks because I'm really concerned about this
Speaker 1: concussion his second over the year. To be very, very
Speaker 1: cautious when it comes to Brandon Cooks, but specifically on
Speaker 1: the rams side of the ball. I think you gotta
Speaker 1: look at the running game where Todd Gurley scored. That's good,
Speaker 1: but he rushed for less yards than Darryl Henderson and
Speaker 1: I believe played less snaps than Darryl Henderson. He was
Speaker 1: seen getting his knee looked at or checked out on
Speaker 1: the sideline. I understand the bye week is coming, but
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, Frank you know going to you. We had
Speaker 1: Florio here in studio. He was Mr Todd Gurley. I
Speaker 1: was kind of in between you guys. You were dead
Speaker 1: right where the upside his cap for Gurly and as
Speaker 1: somebody that trapped him and training him away. I think
Speaker 1: my lucky stars about that because Todd Gurley is not
Speaker 1: even close to the player. He was a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: it's been a disaster and trying to use yesterday's performance
Speaker 1: considering he scored a touchdown and try and trade him
Speaker 1: now while you can't even if you have to pair
Speaker 1: him with somebody else. I understand he's going into the
Speaker 1: buy it's gonna be harder to do. Didn't play as
Speaker 1: many snaps this today, but they were up big towards
Speaker 1: the end, and I think they just kind of started
Speaker 1: to hand it off to Darrell Henderson. But ultimately, look,
Speaker 1: this is a great matchup going up against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: They allow a ton of fantasy points to opposing running backs.
Speaker 1: They allow what is this four point nine one yards
Speaker 1: per carry to opposing running backs this year. That was
Speaker 1: fourth most heading into Week eight, and Todd Gurley has
Speaker 1: the modest game that he did yesterday. I just don't
Speaker 1: think that it's going to happen for him. I think
Speaker 1: that he is still hampered by whatever was plaguing him
Speaker 1: in the off season the end of last season, this
Speaker 1: knee injury, the authritis and the knee. He was also
Speaker 1: dealing with a quad issue a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Try and trade him now while you can see what
Speaker 1: you can get for him, because ultimately I don't feel
Speaker 1: great about him, and I would say the same thing
Speaker 1: on the other side here, Greg, we're Joe Mixon seventeen
Speaker 1: carries for sixty six yards three point nine yards per carry.
Speaker 1: Maybe after the bye week, the Bengals offensive line comes back,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit healthier. They get Cordy gunnback. That
Speaker 1: can't hurt Joe Mixon. But he was using the past game.
Speaker 1: Yesterday he had four receptions, he had a receiving touchdown,
Speaker 1: and I think that you can kind of use yesterday's
Speaker 1: performance again like Girly, to try and sell him now,
Speaker 1: because ultimately, the Bengals offensive line is not a good one.
Speaker 1: Their offense is not a good one. And while Mixon
Speaker 1: had four targets yesterday, that's his season high, they have
Speaker 1: not been throwing the ball to Joe Mixon enough this year.
Speaker 1: And I would try to sell him based off of
Speaker 1: yesterday's performance. I agree with you, Joe Mixon, Ti Girle too,
Speaker 1: running backs that you should try to sell after yesterday's performance.
Speaker 1: From the wide Receiver conversation, A J. Green says he
Speaker 1: expects me ready to go after the excuse me, after
Speaker 1: the bye will he still be the Bengal will find
Speaker 1: out trade deadline tomorrow. Obviously mentioned the Kenyan Drake trade.
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams also traded earlier today to the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: Let's speak about those New York Giants. Frank, New York Giants.
Speaker 1: UH covered the spread against the Detroit Lions. That's good.
Speaker 1: They lost your Giants fan, that's bad. But Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: four touchdowns he spots started against Detroit. That worked out well.
Speaker 1: Golden Tate in the revenge game had a golden date
Speaker 1: day right eight for eight five also had a long
Speaker 1: one called back take on Barkley found the end zone.
Speaker 1: If you expect what if you and any yesterday's game
Speaker 1: from the giant side of things, really reliant side of things.
Speaker 1: Also with Kenny Golladay, you got exactly what you expected.
Speaker 1: All those guys winners, one monsters loser in this game
Speaker 1: though his name, Ty Johnson. Yes, and all the fantasy
Speaker 1: owners out there that went out and spent a bunch
Speaker 1: of money in fab like this guy. We're huge losers
Speaker 1: all together. Let's let's celebrate together. But ultimately, yeah, this
Speaker 1: was a four headed backfield trade. Carson twelve carries thirty
Speaker 1: four yards, Thy Johnson seven carries. Paul Perkins revenge game
Speaker 1: against the New York Giants had three carries. Jade mckissic
Speaker 1: had one carry. Jadi McKissick was using the past game,
Speaker 1: he had three targets. Apperts said that he was gonna
Speaker 1: use a running back by committee. He didn't lie, he
Speaker 1: actually told the truth. This was a four headed running
Speaker 1: back by committee behind an offensive line that cannot run
Speaker 1: block right now. So if you spent money, big money
Speaker 1: on Thy Johnson this week, you, my friend, are a loser,
Speaker 1: just like me. Tay Kwon Barkley, he's really good. He's
Speaker 1: a winner from yesterday. That's probably fine. Daniel Jones. Massive
Speaker 1: performance here, Greg three twenty two yards, seven point nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry. The offensive line did a better job
Speaker 1: of protecting for him yesterday through four touchdowns. And you
Speaker 1: want to stream quarterbacks against the Detroit Lions right now.
Speaker 1: They have allowed eight passing touchdowns over their last two games.
Speaker 1: So if you have a quarterback on buy in Week nine,
Speaker 1: that's Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and or someone else that
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting right now. But Derek carrs Jared Goff is
Speaker 1: the other one. Derek Carr in this matchup against Detroit
Speaker 1: next week is a great matchup and one that you
Speaker 1: can actually stream. Matt Stafford also very good. Who's the
Speaker 1: bounce back season coming, Greg, not most of us. Most
Speaker 1: of us we thought they were gonna run. They can't
Speaker 1: do That'll take a bread, will come back well. His
Speaker 1: many winners, losers and as we can coming up next.

Speaker 1: Jill Flacker's injury maybe severe enough and he goes on
Speaker 1: i R because Drew Lock's time. He's coming. Brandon Allen
Speaker 1: has never thrown it past in the regular season game.
Speaker 1: He will start this Sunday. There's a chance Drew Lock
Speaker 1: is activated off the I R as the backup, and
Speaker 1: of course we'll start UH sooner rather than later. Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco's injury, Greg, if you play, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's an injury. Like the Broncos. They have
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen and in their second round pick is not healthy.
Speaker 1: This is an injury, Frankie, is it or is it
Speaker 1: a reaction to him kind of calling out the team
Speaker 1: in that press conference? Your players call out their teams.
Speaker 1: We'll get to one in a moment. But to me,
Speaker 1: this is this is an injury for sure, as super
Speaker 1: flexile U stashing Drew lock right now? Oh man, So
Speaker 1: I think it depends on super flexingly looking nearly there
Speaker 1: are starting quarterbacks that are out there. You know, only
Speaker 1: match Hup was the only one available this week. But
Speaker 1: you regret not having him, do I? You were like
Speaker 1: five yesterday only one touchdown, one interception. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that was better than Kyler Mury it probably was. Well,
Speaker 1: here you go. Sorry, Sorry didn't pick up match Shop Greg.
Speaker 1: Was mat Shop picked up in your super flue league? Yes,
Speaker 1: we didn't think he was. We don't have to look
Speaker 1: during the game yesterday to find out if he was.
Speaker 1: We didn't think he was, but he was. He still
Speaker 1: mat Shop picking up? Are luck? No you're not? Maybe
Speaker 1: I will. We'll see, all right, find out all right?
Speaker 1: Let me let me move on to the team about
Speaker 1: a guy that always calls out he's coaching staff and
Speaker 1: the play calling whatnot. And that's Odell Beckham Jr. Who
Speaker 1: we keep pushing him down. You said yesterday last week, Frank,
Speaker 1: that maybe this is one of the situations where you
Speaker 1: gotta rid the name off the back of the jersey,
Speaker 1: and yet he faced Stepan Gilmore yesterday. Like, I understand
Speaker 1: that Odell Beckham has been very bad this year, especially
Speaker 1: for where you had to draft Odell Beckham. And I
Speaker 1: was actually thinking about this yesterday, how he's definitely gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those guys where are you draft him
Speaker 1: next year and like the third round and be like
Speaker 1: I got a first round of talent in the third round,
Speaker 1: Like I know all that already, but this year it's
Speaker 1: not happening. I understand how good the New England defense is,
Speaker 1: but Odell Beckham every shot and opportunity has had except
Speaker 1: for one against the Jets, it's been a complete and
Speaker 1: under disgrace and a disaster. Nick Chubb yesterday, So Ode
Speaker 1: Beckham loser. Nick Chubb probably goes in the category because
Speaker 1: he was awesome going for way over a hundred yards
Speaker 1: but had two bad fumbles, including one where was kind
Speaker 1: of marching in for a touchdown. That was frustrating. Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield a loser on the season for this Cleveland Browns team.
Speaker 1: Jarvis Langery, well, obviously a loser. Nervis Landry has actually
Speaker 1: been fine and he had ten targets is today five
Speaker 1: for sixty five against the New England Patriots. I think
Speaker 1: you'll take that out of Jarvis Landry, but Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: definitely a huge loser on the season, a loser yesterday
Speaker 1: as well. I mean that interception that he threw, if
Speaker 1: you want to call it an interception, it's like a
Speaker 1: little like shovel pass. Why didn't you do it right
Speaker 1: into the defensive line. I mean, that was one of
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. That's something that
Speaker 1: you would have saw from like the third string Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns quarterback that was starting a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: This is Baker Mayfield, who was their first overall pick
Speaker 1: last year, who was so supposed to be their franchise quarterback,
Speaker 1: making a mistake that bad that was really really tough
Speaker 1: to watch yesterday. I would agree with you on Nick Chubb.
Speaker 1: I would put him in the category because he's still
Speaker 1: seeing a ton of volume and he ran for a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards. I mean that was the
Speaker 1: most for any running back against the Patriots defense so
Speaker 1: far this season. But he fumbled twice. And Kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: is looming. He will be eligible to return in week ten,
Speaker 1: so not next week yet, but in week ten. If
Speaker 1: you are a Knick Chubb owner, make sure you own
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt as well. And Odell Beckham, Greg, don't what
Speaker 1: if you don't mean you should still pick u Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt if you can't? Oh? If you So you're saying,
Speaker 1: if you're a Nick Chubb owner, but you can't pick
Speaker 1: up Kareem Hunt anymore? Yeah, probably because I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: that's you. You might want to trade whoever is on
Speaker 1: the end of your bench to try and acquire Kareem Hunt. Right. Sure.
Speaker 1: You just said that you're never going to play NBS,
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. So it's something that I
Speaker 1: would do. Is a Kareem Hunt owner going to take that?
Speaker 1: Probably not. I'd imagine that they've been stashing him for
Speaker 1: a while. Odell Beckham huge loser, as you mentioned, Greg,
Speaker 1: five for fifty two. It's guy has not scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown and since Week two, I was actually at that
Speaker 1: game in MetLife Stadium. Maybe he only scores when I'm
Speaker 1: at the game, but whatever it is, Odell Beckham isn't
Speaker 1: a touchdown drought. He's got tough matchups coming up. Look
Speaker 1: at this upcoming schedule, Greg, He's at Denver next week,
Speaker 1: where if they don't trade away Chris Harris, he's one
Speaker 1: of the best lockdown corners in the league. The week
Speaker 1: after that facing treed Avious White and the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: The week after that facing the Pittsburgh Steelers and their
Speaker 1: secondary has performed really well since they've acquired make of Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in Week twelve, pretty good matchup. Week thirteen
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers again, tough matchup. So four out of
Speaker 1: the next five games, you are not going to feel
Speaker 1: great about starting Odell Beckham. They are not just force
Speaker 1: feeding him the ball like was the case in New
Speaker 1: York where he's getting a bunch of targets. He only
Speaker 1: had seven targets yesterday. He's a clear loser, Greg and
Speaker 1: everyone who drafted him right now you actually have to
Speaker 1: think about whether or not you're gonna start him moving forward,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because he was likely your first or
Speaker 1: second round pick. Brutal, absolutely brutal Rodebecker Junior. And as
Speaker 1: Freight points out, he doesn't get better. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: And I know I have I've said a lot that, Hey,
Speaker 1: just because you're facing a good cornerback, well, he's a
Speaker 1: really good WDE receiver, so you should be able to
Speaker 1: take advantage. Not this version of Odell Beckham Jr. Let
Speaker 1: me go to the other side with the New England
Speaker 1: Patriots and it was a very bad weather day, so
Speaker 1: you got kind of what you expected, right, You got
Speaker 1: James White and you got Julian Edelman, and that's what
Speaker 1: this offense is now. Philip doors Set hasn't done all
Speaker 1: that much. Mohammed'san you got worked in the offense a
Speaker 1: little bit, but his offense really revolves around James White
Speaker 1: and Julian Edelman. Yeah. Edelman had a great game yesterday
Speaker 1: to eleven targets in the rain, a lot of short passes,
Speaker 1: eight receptions seventy eight yards and two touchdowns. Greg Sony Michelle,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about him and I'll put him
Speaker 1: in the category because I like the volume that I
Speaker 1: saw here. Twenty one carries. Again, did not run efficiently,
Speaker 1: only three point five yards per carry. The volume is
Speaker 1: a good thing. Normally I would just say that you're
Speaker 1: a winner because you're running back and you saw twenty
Speaker 1: plus carry, but he didn't make the most of those carries.
Speaker 1: And secondly, with rex burkehead back, Tony Michell did not
Speaker 1: have a single target in this game. So each of
Speaker 1: the past three games with with rex burkhead sidelined, Sony
Speaker 1: Michelle had seen at least two targets in each of
Speaker 1: those games, and he was kind of getting worked into
Speaker 1: the past game a little bit. They were actually drawing
Speaker 1: up place for him as a receiver. We saw last
Speaker 1: week against the Jets he dropped the ball that was
Speaker 1: thrown right into his chest. This week, Greg zero targets
Speaker 1: for Sony Michelle. With rex burkhead back in the mix,
Speaker 1: I put him in the category in need um. I
Speaker 1: totally agree Toniy Michelle. It has not been the year
Speaker 1: that I hope for as someone I was thinking is
Speaker 1: gonna break out and really really build off this playoff
Speaker 1: performance from last season hasn't happened. He's getting all the
Speaker 1: red zone work, which is good. He's getting all this,
Speaker 1: but he had three touchdowns last week. He even coming
Speaker 1: into this week, greg Tony Michelle had the most carries
Speaker 1: inside the tent of any running back in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So we remember that Brandon Bolden stole a touchdown here
Speaker 1: and and you know Rex Burke had stole a touchdown here.
Speaker 1: But it's crazy that when you look at the numbers,
Speaker 1: he still is number one in the NFL in red
Speaker 1: in rushing attempts inside the ten yard line, and those
Speaker 1: are very valuable obviously for fantasy football. Let's chat Frankie
Speaker 1: about some of the young running backs who are winners yesterday.
Speaker 1: And we we knew that when you drafted them back
Speaker 1: in August there could be league winners for you and
Speaker 1: go off to the second half of the year. I hope,
Speaker 1: we hope that. Hey, we wouldn't take eight weeks. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go off. But you drafted them because you thought
Speaker 1: they could win you a league, and that maybe what
Speaker 1: David Montgomery winds up doing for you. The carries finally
Speaker 1: went up for Dave Montgomery, and rightfully so. He was
Speaker 1: awesome yesterday, scoring his first touchdown of his season. Rushing
Speaker 1: the football yesterday. Trek Cohen not you know kind of
Speaker 1: the three Cohen thing. David Montgomery first onto the scene
Speaker 1: yesterday and the Chargers actually defeat of the Bears thanks
Speaker 1: to what guess what a miss kick David Montgomery huge
Speaker 1: winner from yesterday. The problem was he was on a
Speaker 1: lot of people's benches and I can't fault you for that.
Speaker 1: The week before he only had two rushing attempts that
Speaker 1: haven't been able to run block all season long the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. David Montgomery comes out yesterday, play seventy of
Speaker 1: the snaps, which was a season high. He had season
Speaker 1: highs across the board, seven carries, a hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five yards, one touchdown, five yards per carry. He was
Speaker 1: also used in the past game a ton here greg
Speaker 1: five targets, four receptions, only twelve receiving yards. But you
Speaker 1: like to see that type of usage in the past
Speaker 1: game considering that Tarik Cohen only play of the snaps
Speaker 1: and he only saw three targets, So thirty one running
Speaker 1: back opportunities for David Montgomery yesterday just massive. You want
Speaker 1: to use running backs against the Los Angeles charters right now.
Speaker 1: Their entire defense is beat up, and I think this performance,
Speaker 1: Greig gives you confidence that David Montgomery goes back into
Speaker 1: that RB two discussion. Uh, Missiles Robiski is not good.
Speaker 1: It's just it's obvious at this point. Um seven point
Speaker 1: two yards for attempt yesterday, thirty five, missing a ton
Speaker 1: of throws, zero touchdowns, one interception. At least last year
Speaker 1: he was running the football. He's not even doing that
Speaker 1: this year. He only had four rushing attempts yesterday for
Speaker 1: ten yards. And think Matt Naggie really started to figure
Speaker 1: out how bad Robinsky is and started to give David
Speaker 1: Montgomery that must work. So I think we could trust
Speaker 1: Montgomery once again as a low one nervy two moving forward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and to that point, miss Robinsky, they asked the question
Speaker 1: old Matt Neggie this morning. He's like, hey, is he
Speaker 1: still here starting quarterback? It's like, yeah, we saw enough
Speaker 1: good things where we think he could improve. Certainly not
Speaker 1: a huge declaration yet, Yeah, of course not. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: our starting quarterback. It was like sure, why not? Well,
Speaker 1: how would you feel if you had Missiel Robinsky as
Speaker 1: your quarterback? Greg? I mean they drafted him with a
Speaker 1: with the first round pick. That was before Matt Naggie
Speaker 1: was there. But much like we've kind of said about
Speaker 1: Wayne Haskins right and Washington moving forward, whoever was gonna
Speaker 1: come in and take over the Chicago Bears. Job knew
Speaker 1: that Mistell Drabinsky had to be the guy and they
Speaker 1: had to find a way to get the most out
Speaker 1: of him. Now, Matt Naggie did figure that out last year.
Speaker 1: This year it's been a lot tougher. He really is
Speaker 1: showing a lot of his deficiencies as a passer as
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the NFL so far this season. Defenses
Speaker 1: are taking advantage of that as well. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to have confidence at Trabisky, but
Speaker 1: I think moving forward, whoever comes in for Washington next
Speaker 1: year is likely gonna have to do the same thing
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Hasky. What category would you put Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: and Austin Ekeler in from yesterday? I would put mm hmm,
Speaker 1: probably both in the act category. May even maybe Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon is is more of a winner than then you
Speaker 1: want to lead on. But he still wasn't great. I mean,
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carry. He saw eight rushing attempts,
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler only saw three. Eckler had a receiving touchdown
Speaker 1: in this one, and I knew coming in that the
Speaker 1: Chicago Beart struggled to pass catching running backs. But again,
Speaker 1: Eckler only had two receptions and three carries. He had
Speaker 1: five total touches. Melvin Gordon had eight carries and he
Speaker 1: had two receptions, so he had ten total touches, and
Speaker 1: neither one of them was really effective. They were not efficient.
Speaker 1: We know that this offensive line is really beat up.
Speaker 1: The entire Chargers team is beat up, so they're probably
Speaker 1: just both in the act category. And Melvin Gordon a
Speaker 1: probably slight winner compared to Austin Ekeler, because it's clear
Speaker 1: at this point Greg, unless they trade him away before tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is their guy and they're sticking by him
Speaker 1: right As two more running backs, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure we hit that are young and that kind of
Speaker 1: fit the same. David Montgomery narrative was in Buffalo yesterday
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Eagles, where Miles Sanders went
Speaker 1: off before getting hurt. All indications are that he'll be
Speaker 1: all right, and Devin Singles are and it awesome run
Speaker 1: as he ran into the end zone as well. I
Speaker 1: don't think the Bills ever go away from Frank Gore.
Speaker 1: I think the eagle situation will always be muddled, but
Speaker 1: both guys look good. Yesterday, both were winners. Yeah, Singletary
Speaker 1: played sixties seven percent of the snaps yesterday, Frank Gore
Speaker 1: only played of those, and Frank Gore still used more
Speaker 1: in the run game, but once they fell behind, they
Speaker 1: started to use Devin Singletary. Devin Singletary six targets yesterday,
Speaker 1: four receptions, thirty receiving yards, and a touchdown as well.
Speaker 1: So I think Devin Singletary is a winner. We're starting
Speaker 1: to see them have a little bit more faith in
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, and I think that, you know, as the
Speaker 1: season goes along here, he's gonna probably see maybe the
Speaker 1: same amount of work as Frank Gore, or maybe even
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I remember a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I filled in for the closer Chris Ventcher on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Frenzy. We were all in agreement that Devin
Speaker 1: Singletary was a good bye low candidate. Miles Sanders Greg
Speaker 1: as much as I want to be excited about him,
Speaker 1: three carry seventy four yards, had that sixty five yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: showed off some of his speed and his explosiveness. He's
Speaker 1: being used in the past game. I saw Jim SNAs
Speaker 1: tweeting about this as well, that they're really targeting him downfield.
Speaker 1: His average depth of target is higher than that of
Speaker 1: your your average running back. They are scheming plays for
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders to get him used as a receiver. The
Speaker 1: problem is he still only had six touches compared to
Speaker 1: twenty four for Jordan's Howards. So I don't think Jordan
Speaker 1: Howard's going anywhere. And he ran well, he does what
Speaker 1: they want him to do. They need someone that runs
Speaker 1: between the tackles, applotting running back that just holds onto
Speaker 1: the football that they can use inside the red zone.
Speaker 1: That's who Jordan Howard is. Just ran for another ninety
Speaker 1: six yards and a touchdown. I don't think that he's
Speaker 1: going away. So I want to say that Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: is a winner, but I can't. He's in the act
Speaker 1: category for me, Greg a huge loser man. Over the
Speaker 1: past three weeks, he has nineteen targets and eight receptions.
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard in the same span seventeen targets, twelve receptions
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. He's really been eating into his accurates production.
Speaker 1: Couldo next wags your dog, followed by out of the window,
Speaker 1: He's Frank, Oh, Greg, The Waiver Wire Show is tomorrow.

Speaker 1: Here's what you missed on the bf BPS. Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: running backs No matter where he goes, you want his
Speaker 1: running backs for fantasy for years, man, you have been
Speaker 1: saying it for years. You've been a Carlos Hyde guy
Speaker 1: for years. And although Carlo Carlos Hyde is not playing
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan, he's having a great years. What was
Speaker 1: I doing? That's a greggy guy. But ultimately Tevin Coleman
Speaker 1: has ascended into a high n r B two. I
Speaker 1: really do believe that the way that this offensive line
Speaker 1: is playing right now, even without their tackles, they're one
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in the NFL. And if
Speaker 1: Matt Breeda can't go on Thursday night because of the
Speaker 1: short week, he Mostart becomes one of the more interesting
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups this week. Just he most is kind
Speaker 1: of sneaky weaver wire pickup right like, he's not a starter.
Speaker 1: Everyone saw Timma Coleman have those four h towns in
Speaker 1: this past week. I don't think most are cost you
Speaker 1: all that much on the waiver wire. And if you're
Speaker 1: desperate where four teams have a bye this week, you're
Speaker 1: in a good spot where Mooster Yeah, and Raheemoster has
Speaker 1: been really explosive so far in his career. Greig his
Speaker 1: ninety five rushing attempts in the NFL, he's averaging over
Speaker 1: six yards per carries, so all of those have all
Speaker 1: of those carries have basically come with Kyle Shanahan. Agan
Speaker 1: does a great job of scheming his running backs to success.
Speaker 1: Rahee Mostart has been one of the beneficiaries of that.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, if Matt Brida can't go
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. We just saw what Latavious Murray did
Speaker 1: against at Arizona Cardinals defense, where he put up over
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty total yards. He had two total
Speaker 1: touchdowns nine receptions. I have a feeling in San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners are gonna be playing with the lead, which
Speaker 1: means that they're going to be running the football. So
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. Is Matt Brida the Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis of fantasy football? He leaves in the middle of
Speaker 1: every game. No, because he's not the number one over Bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not. He's not one of the best players.
Speaker 1: But in terms of his situation, constantly leaving midgame and
Speaker 1: then coming back and playing the next week and I'm
Speaker 1: still being good. Yeah, he's Nanuel Sanders got the end
Speaker 1: of yesterday for San Francisco. Didn't do all that much
Speaker 1: other than that for Jimmy g and the offense didn't
Speaker 1: have to pass the ball all that much. Manuel Sanders
Speaker 1: it a lot. As Kyle Shanahan promised, what's his value, Gavard,
Speaker 1: I think it's still a wide receiver three. I said
Speaker 1: this on Friday or whatever the trade was made that
Speaker 1: I didn't really think that things changed ultimately for Emmanuel Sanders,
Speaker 1: Like he gets a step up in quarterback play with Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: But again, the forty Niners run the ball so much,
Speaker 1: are there gonna be enough targets to go around. So
Speaker 1: yesterday they only had twenty two targets overall in this game,
Speaker 1: and he had five of those. So that's the twenty
Speaker 1: three percent target share, which is fine, but again it
Speaker 1: was only five targets. So I would label this one
Speaker 1: of the situations. I'm not gonna say that he's a
Speaker 1: winner just because he scored a togginner. He's not a loser.
Speaker 1: But they want to run the football and when they
Speaker 1: throw it, George Kittle is still going to be the
Speaker 1: leader on this team in terms of targets. So I
Speaker 1: would say it's it's a pretty lateral move for Emmanuel Sanders. Again,
Speaker 1: coming over from Denverson situation. There says a lot about
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers team. Yeah, I'm sorry, a lot of
Speaker 1: alt Cain pathers in a second, um not they pettish
Speaker 1: your boy, Mark, He's good. When was a healthy stretch?
Speaker 1: Not they've had is still had the fourth most snaps
Speaker 1: at wide receiver yesterday for this four Niners team once again.
Speaker 1: Now they'd not great Bob, not great Bob at all, Greg,
Speaker 1: And thanks for it up, my boy, Dante Pettis. Every
Speaker 1: time that we can remind ourselves of being wrong for something,
Speaker 1: we might as well do it right. So coming into
Speaker 1: the season that has not worked out at all. I
Speaker 1: think it's a talented player, right like, there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. We saw what he did as a rookie,
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch last year. Just hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to find his footing so far this year.
