1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Allie.

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson, and this is the Drive. It's

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: time for the Fantasy Football Focus and as it is Wednesday,

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: will take a look around the league at who is

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: in and who is out in the early portions of practice.

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Roster move in Cleveland, Matt Anthony Schwartz goes on too

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I R with a concussion. Uh. The team claimed Jalen

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Darden off waivers from the Buck, so he'll similar He'll

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: take over that. UH, special ties return guy, small but fast.

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: Schwartz is bigger than him though he is him. He's

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: not the typical track guy. I mean he's six ft

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, but neither one is a

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: huge factor. But they could be a big play for

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Watson or something like that, you know, right. Uh. May

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: the Schwarts be with you, May the Swarts be with you.

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Christian Dry saw the good offensive tackle with the Vikings.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: Uh was he limited participant Wednesday. He's in concussion protocol.

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: So that's the first step in the concussion protocol. Returning

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: from that. They played Lions this week and it could

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: be a high scoring affair. Yeah, no doubt Lions are

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: favored in that game. I looked at that last time.

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, am I reading that right? Ye? That's the

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Vikings getting no respect whatsoever. None. I don't know if

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: you saw this on Football Outsiders, but the day before

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: they put the v o A out, they highlight like

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: eight teams and one of them was the Vikings and

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: they showed all these key stats Vikings in the league,

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: in the league, blah blah blah, and they said, nine

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: out of ten times, this is a five team and

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Vegas cares about that stuff. You just keep finding ways

32
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: to win, right, I mean there's something you said for

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: that too. There's no doubt, but there saws a big deal.

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the line is Night and David when he's

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: in there. Uh. DeAndre Swift limited with an ankle injury

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of that matchup. Um, this is

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: just constant with him. Well, last week was the first

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: time he was not on the injury report and now

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: he is. Now he's back, and he had his best

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: game in a while, you know, and he had a

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: big share of the carries. The problem is Jamal Williams

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: is obviously a problem going anywhere, right, But the Jackson dude,

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Now it's three guys and he got ten touches or

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: something last week. That's brutal. Live with that part, No,

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: he can't. Zay Jones with the chest was limited Wednesday.

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: He was limited with that last week as well. Only

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: had seventeen yards last week. I think he had seven

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: targets in the game. Okay, Data had a miserable, really bad,

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: really bad day. Uh again, seven targets I'll take all

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: day long. Oh yeah, yeah, especially for what you pay

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: for him in DFF, for all that stuff, you know, right,

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: seven targets is great. Trailing Burks with a concussion on

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: for the Titans did not practice. It's late in a

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: week not to be practicing. Yeah, you'd liked him to.

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: You'd like him to start that clock. You know. Is

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: it even possible for him to play now? It is?

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean he could still come tomorrow, get his and

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: get cleared, you know, get cleared by Saturday. But you

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: don't like to see the guy still suffering concussion symptoms. Yeah.

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: Cos Watkins with a shoulder was limited in practice on Wednesday.

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: He matters, He matters, Yeah, especially with Goddard out. Um,

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean he could be our cheap DFS guy. You know,

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: he's a good candidate for those type of things. Yeah,

64
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: big play, Uh, Kenny Golladay with Annis a full participant.

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: Wow for Kenny Golladay. I mean not to have any

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: interest fantasy wise, but be nice to see some receiver

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: last there a little while. Darius lat And it's all

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: about there. He's good. He's good. David and Joeku for

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the Browns was limited in practice on Wednesday. He's trying

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to come back from a knee injury, for which blurb

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I read that they thought they'd be back, but they

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: thought he'd be back last week too, right Yeah, um, yeah,

73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's a great match

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: up against the Bengals or not. Yeah, it's not ideal,

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, it depends on Watson plays. Right. Uh. David

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Bell uh, the wide rookie wide receiver for the Browns,

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about it. He's been playing more and more,

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: but he doesn't do it. Didn't do anything. Yeah, run well,

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: he has a thumb injury that limited him Wednesday. Yeah,

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: he was not. He's like four seven guy like all,

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: except he's not as good as people love them. Like Oh,

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: he's like the next Keenan Allen. That's kind of al

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: was good from the get go. Yes, and he was better,

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: a better prospect. Richie James, of course a Giants wide

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: receiver was learned Wednesday. Why wouldn't he be he has

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: a knee. Um, you know what do you expect? Nico

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: Collins with a foot and Brandon Cooks with the calf

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday for Washington, and they've they've named

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills the starter again. They're never gonna win another

90
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: game ever, not. I don't love he's gonna win another

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: game there. This is as miserable as a kid. Yeah, Like,

92
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can use Pierce. I mean especially

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: this week. I mean if if they have no weapons,

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Pierce is gonna get hit by ten dudes every play. Yeah,

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: do you pick up Chris more and start him if you?

96
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, remember six teams on a bye this week.

97
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to catch the football to see the clear one.

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: Then if those two around, if those two are Chris

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Moore is the guy. Yeah, I mean he's like the

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: only NFL see where I mean he could you get

101
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: in the mop up duty or that you know? Again,

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: like what happened with the Dolphins when the Houston played

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins a couple of weeks in Houston Jump. The

104
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins jumped out to the thirty to nothing lead and

105
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: then just coast the rest it away and the ends

106
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: up thirty to fifty. I mean, you could convince me

107
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: in DFS if he's super cheap and we do that tomorrow.

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can pick him up with

109
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: waivers and put him my story online. You might need

110
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: to again this week. Yeah, there are some crazy situations.

111
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Corey Davis with an illness did not practice on Wednesday.

112
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was a hot pick up this week

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he's not practicing. It

114
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: would be good for Elijah More. Yeah, a Barrios exists

115
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: in that offense and just yeah, that's too many miles

116
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: of feet and Wilson is gonna be the one. How

117
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: about this Mike Williams limited on Wednesday? Yeah, that would

118
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: be a big deal for that would be whoever has

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: him has been sitting on him now for a ton

120
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: of Dinas leagues, but those I mean you can absorb

121
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: it in those man roster stuff. But I mean he's

122
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: been brutal this year. Yeah, in out and not as

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: brutals Keenan Allen. But but he's only catch he gets hurt.

124
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: You last time we saw the guy. I mean, are

125
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: you start him right away if he's back? I think so. Yeah,

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: they're playing the Panthers. You know he's gonna get yet,

127
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the football. Travis Homer with that knee injury,

128
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: practiced on Wednesday, So he and DJ Dallas we think

129
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: they're both gonna split. Well, Homer is probably the number

130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: one right now. Dallas also dealing with a an ankle

131
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: injury as well, So um, I can see picking up

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: either or both. You know, No, Seattle does not run

133
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: the football this year. They're the exactly like you want

134
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: to talk about it, making adjustments like they've just gone

135
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: completely away from their their previous like three years game plans,

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: which implies they like their quarterback better now. It's amazing. Yeah,

137
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: don't let I gotta let Russ cook. Well maybe he stinks,

138
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and that Pete Carroll was won a million

139
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: games and they might have known it. Gino cook cook

140
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: pizza alright's pizza rolls. Uh. DJ Dallas did not practice today,

141
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: so it is. I mean, Homer's the one and I'm

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: starting him. Yeah, because both those guys catch passes to absolutely,

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: but if it's clear that only one is of brand

144
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: name guys, because then they picked someone up, they picked

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: up some which just implies it just a dude, just

146
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the dude. They probably need him just to practice this week,

147
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: can you get too engine. They weren't sure if Travis

148
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Homer is going to practice or not. He was limited

149
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: or practice, but still enough running backs to run of practice. Yeah,

150
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: he can't have the same guy would take every rope.

151
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Michael Carter with that ankle injury no longer on the

152
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Jets injury report. That's an interesting situation now it is.

153
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a leap of faith by me, but

154
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he is a plug and place starter. They

155
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: seem to be really down on Yeah. Yeah, and I

156
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: think the Jags were too. Coaching staffs hate James Robinson. Two.

157
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: That's a couple of staffs now three staffs that haven't

158
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: liked them. You know, I don't get it. I don't

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: quite get it. But he produces, but I don't know. Yeah,

160
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: I kind of interested in Carter as a just put

161
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: him in there as a starter. I'd probably be more

162
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: inclined to start him as a flex just to be safe.

163
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, in fact, it could could wind up in

164
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: a situation where he and Knights split carries or snaps

165
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: and they end up both being flexes. You could the

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: Knight pretty not owned the backfield, but certainly had the

167
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: portion you wanted last Yeah. Yeah, Kenneth Walker obviously not

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: practicing this week. That kills Ty Johnson though, Yeah, oh yeah,

169
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: he's Carter's another receiving back. Joe Mixon practiced in form Wednesday.

170
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: He has been cleared from concussion protocol. Juice matchup the

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: p Ryan stuff was nice, but mixing, Yeah, if you're

172
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: the mixing owner, now you wonder though, does Pete Ryan

173
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: have more of a role give him what he's done? Well,

174
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: he's always been the third down back, I know, but

175
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: they were using, they were throwing, they were throwing the

176
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: ball more to mixing this year. I think pe Ryan's

177
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: a better receiver than Mixing. I know he's better in protection.

178
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: Not the mixing is bad, but they rave about p

179
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Ryan and protection, So that leads me to believe that

180
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: that Mixings instead of playing seventy of the snaps as

181
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: he had been doing maybe play sixty. Yeah, I would

182
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: think he's a perfect candidate too, as if they get

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: a big lead. We trust pe Ryan. Whon't you sit down? Yeah,

184
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: we need you for down, We need you for who

185
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: you know? But you're thrilled you haven't been if you

186
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: owned them. That's the news one to hear for this week. Absolutely.

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst with the cap injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

188
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: Tight ends are barren, but you know he could have

189
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: been maybe useful for a lot of people. Yeah, Uh,

190
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: we get the designations for the Rams game. Rams Raider's morning,

191
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: John Wolford questionable, Baker's going to start. There many news

192
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: in the last one could be Bryce Perkins. I guess

193
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: it could ye if Yeah we saw what that look like.

194
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Could Baker being worse than what Bryce Perkins was against?

195
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: Brace Perkins three for like eight yards? Right, I mean

196
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: he couldn't complete passes as ugly. Yeah, Aaron Donald will

197
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: not play this week. It's good. That's would be a

198
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: tough water that's gonna be. Uh, it's gonna be just

199
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: watching uh run run run run run. Yeah, I mean

200
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I know Acres kind of took over that backfield, but

201
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the plan, I mean, early

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: down guy on a bad offense. That's terrible recipe for fantasy.

203
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: How about this one Henry Anderson, who has been out

204
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: since Week six because of a medical condition. I was

205
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: thinking where he's at with the Panthers, the trading the Cardinals.

206
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: He's listed as being with the Panthers and Henry Anderson, No,

207
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: this is this is a defensive as is just this

208
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: is a fantasy relavance. Yeah, you're thinking Robbi Anderson. This

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: just struck me. So I don't know why it's on

210
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: the road O uh, you know NBC Sports age fantasy

211
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: stuff here. Henry Anderson said he suffered a minor stroke. Wow,

212
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, Like, what what's up with guys having strokes

213
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: at these young as? Yea Teddy Bruski had that happened

214
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: to him, Like, I don't have any clue, but wow,

215
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: that's scary. Yeah, he's had a decent career. I know

216
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about now like a three or four end

217
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: was a jet for a while. Trevor Lawrence, with a

218
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: toe injury, said he expects to play in Week fourteen

219
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: against the Titans. I am shocked that that was just

220
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: a toe injury. That was gruesome. He got ben over,

221
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: he got folded backwards, like I'm I don't think he

222
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: practiced today though. Uh no, he did not. But he's

223
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: planning on playing. Is he gonna run much? I don't

224
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: know how thrilled I am to start him this week

225
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to playing the Titans, playing Titans and there's a lot

226
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks on by. I mean it might be the move. Yeah,

227
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: but man I and when I saw that injury, I'm like, oh,

228
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: he's done for the year. Yeah, it looked really bad.

229
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey limited on Wednesday. That's probably just gonna be

230
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: something that happens moving forward. Yeah. Uh. Deebo Samuel also limited,

231
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: as was Nick Bosa, who has a hamstring injury. That

232
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: sounds like, hey, let's rest all our real stars. Yeah,

233
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: that's what that sounds like. Yeah. I think Bosch is

234
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: the to me, the lead candidate for Defense Player of

235
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: the Year, But what do I know. I think it's

236
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: timm and Parsons. Yeah. Ghost has been unbelievable. Uh. Cayl

237
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan saying today that there's a way outside chance that

238
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is able to return for the playoffs. Yeah,

239
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: I heard that that this isn't quite as bad as

240
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: we originally thought. It's just a broken foot. They didn't

241
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: have the Liz Frank injury at all. Um, you hate

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: the Liz Frank word. That's always bad. I don't know.

243
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people out there broken a foot,

244
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: isn't it usually like six weeks in the cast. Yeah,

245
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: and then you gotta get back, you know, actually into

246
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: you know, playing football again. But interesting, Yeah, there's what

247
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: five five weeks left in the season. If you don't

248
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: know this answer, don't worry about it. But is there

249
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: any chance Lance is back this year? No? Okay, I

250
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: didn't think so. We would have heard that by now,

251
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. Yeah, So we'll see. I mean,

252
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: if they can get through this and when Yeah, I

253
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: mean there in the NFC, they gotta win to like

254
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: two more games you get to the playoffs, would get

255
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: them nine wins yet, yeah, I mean they'll do that

256
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: with this guy, and then you know, then you gotta

257
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: probably win a first round games, maybe maybe you get Hey,

258
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna go You're gonna go play Tampa Bay in

259
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: the first round, okay, okay, or your host in a

260
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: game against like Washington. Yeah, I mean they're probably gonna

261
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: win the Vision, Okay, right right right? Uh? Annie Stanley

262
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: returned to practice on Wednesday with that ankle injury for

263
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens, obviously, Lamar Jackson did not participate. He will

264
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: not be playing. This sounds like Stanley might play. Have

265
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: you got any Dobbins news? Uh? I don't see anything

266
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: here about J K. Dobbins. But he's on I R,

267
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: so they don't have to comment there. Point. I wouldn't

268
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: plug him in the lineup though, Yeah, I mean I

269
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know if he's active. Is he gonna be their

270
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: lead back? I assume so? But is that a good

271
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: thing for fantasy? Yeah? Yeah? Uh. Deante Foreman did not

272
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a foot injury. Um,

273
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with that for a couple of weeks now. Um.

274
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just he just takes He's he's a

275
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: heavy workload, high workload guy. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's

276
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: an RB two, don't you think this? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

277
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: he gets a lot. They're playing Seattle. You can run

278
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: on Seattle. No, he's he wouldn't worry me. Toron Tron

279
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Armstead with that pack injury, did not practice Wednesday. It

280
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: may have been heard the last five years that Daniel

281
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: Hackett said it's not looking good for him to return,

282
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: and you know he says not looking good for Courtland

283
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Sutton with that hamstring injury to play him work week

284
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: fourteen against the Chiefs. Was Judy back. Judy's back, and

285
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: I think it's good for the tight end. Dulcis yeah.

286
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's a horrific offense, of course, but Sutton

287
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: was the only thing close to being usable. Maybe that's

288
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: shooting now, yuh yeah, I know yeah. In other words,

289
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: fire up the Chiefs defense. Is he yeah? Always yeah? Uh.

290
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill said the ankle, his ankle is okay after

291
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: he suffterday new ankle injury in week thirteen, it's okay.

292
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: He's hard to use too, but fair enough. I mean

293
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: you might need him for this week. Greg Dorge, this

294
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: is one of those ones where that they only let

295
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: you out to see the practice. Greg Dorge, with a

296
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: thumb injury, was seeing it practice on Wednesday, while Ron

297
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: del Moore, who's dealing with a groin injury, was not

298
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: my perception that, especially now with Marquis and Hopkins back

299
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: is Dorch is only Moore's handcuff. So if Moore's in

300
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: Doorche has no value. If he doesn't, Moore doesn't play. Now,

301
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: Dorch is playable. They always have three receivers on the field,

302
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: so it don't even consider him if Moore is gonna play. Um.

303
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Not good news on the Odell Beckham front. Nothing's happening, right,

304
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: nothing's happening. He went to, uh, did you see the

305
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: stories out of Dallas? And there were some leaks that

306
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: came out that the Dallas had some concerns about his knee.

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: After having a look at it, I knew they had

308
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: some concerns about signing and I didn't know. Yeah, he

309
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: may be to shut down for the year then, Yeah,

310
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: the word out of Dallas was they didn't think he

311
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: would be ready to play until maybe late January. And

312
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: from what I understand, they were talking about this on

313
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: the broadcast a lot. He's not coming there to sign

314
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: a deal for the year. He went like a two

315
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: year deal or you know, I mean some security. Good

316
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: luck with that, Yeah, I mean I don't know how

317
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: you write that contract though, to a thirty year old

318
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: receiver who hasn't played right and who hasn't been Odell

319
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Beckham in five years, right? I mean does that mean

320
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: to cut Zeke and you know, I mean I I

321
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: don't know that that's a good movie. And I'm sure

322
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna take you know, yeah right, I mean

323
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: he's Odell Beckham. That's a tough sign. Patrick Mahomes said

324
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: he suffered a bruised foot in week thirteen. He saw

325
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: him limping around. Yeah you can so, but he'll play.

326
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be just fine. Could Darius Tony Wow

327
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: limited in practice on Wednesday with that hamstring injury? Could

328
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: we see a Darius Tony I can't help myself. Andy

329
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Reid with that skill set. I just think could be

330
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: fun that maybe not for fantasy, but I want to

331
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: see him as if you just can't quit him. I can't,

332
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: especially after the trade. I mean, like you give Andy

333
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Reid that toy, that's that's your cowboy. I also been Odell.

334
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on in some leagues, you know, right,

335
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: some of those guys who's gotta not let him clog

336
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: your roster? Is this good news or bad news for

337
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara mark Ingram out for the season. I just

338
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: saw that has to be good news. The Camara usage

339
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: is my missling to me, unbelievable. It's unbelievable because even worse,

340
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: this staff sat there for years and what Sean Payton

341
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: used him masterfully and win games left and right, and

342
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't look bad to me they use him at all. Yeah,

343
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: it's amazing that. Like again they're in they're in two

344
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: minute situations and they've got mark Ingram out there, not

345
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, and then they throw mark Ingram the football.

346
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean in my main league there was like four backs.

347
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: I knew I was. I was picking like nine and

348
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: I didn't care really if I got Kamara, Swift, Barkley.

349
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I ended up with Kamara and Swift. I was too

350
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: handful of them, like I'll get two of these around

351
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: the corner. He's been one of the worst picks in

352
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: the draft. I mean not I overslept one Sunday when

353
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: he was eight. He was ruled it active even though

354
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: he was five on Saturday night. I'll just watch this

355
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: one on you know, DVR catch up for the commercials.

356
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: I got a zero for tomorrow. But you have to

357
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: start them. This is the worst kind you'd rather be

358
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: out for the year because we started him every week

359
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: and nobody used them. Yeah, absolutely brutal. Did you see

360
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: the von Miller news He's out for the year. Out

361
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: for the year. It was a torn a c L.

362
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: I guess they didn't know that till now. I didn't

363
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: want to tell well. I mean, I think when you

364
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: have swelling like that, you have to wait, and they

365
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: probably when they went in. How bad it really? Yeah,

366
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: because he was getting a procedure get done and the

367
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: surgeons go in and they find out that the a

368
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: c L s toorn. Well, that stinks as a fan

369
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: because I wanted to watch him in the playoffs or

370
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And it's also stinks for them for next year. Yeah,

371
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty late in the process for the guy. They

372
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: gave him a lot of money, like too much, which

373
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: I get if you're going to go in the super Bowl.

374
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: But wow, that's a big deal. I mean, I hope

375
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: it's not a Ronnie Stanley situation, you know what I mean,

376
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: where you sign him and then you're stuck. Cameron Bread

377
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: with the illness, did not practice on Wednesday, but Kate

378
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: Otton's their number one now. Brady went to him time

379
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: and time again when it matters. They were short, but

380
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: he looks good, he moves well, he's he's definitely and

381
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: kind of touchdown pass. He's fantasy viable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

382
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. I think he had like eight or night targets. Yeah, well,

383
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: here you go with the's on of a Night news

384
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Robert Sali said on of a Knight is going is

385
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: not going anywhere when Michael Carter returns to the lineup.

386
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: So that's not the news that you wanted to hear. No,

387
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: but those folks have picked up nights. Maybe you're still

388
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: using them. Yeah, apparently they like them. But he's not

389
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna get He's again, he's gonna have getting ten touches.

390
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Michael Carter's gonna get ten touches. You said this off

391
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: the area, and I think you're right that that now

392
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: smells more like which is what you don't want. Yeah.

393
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Uh Ta with an ankle limited in the early portion

394
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: this week, he's expected to play. Um but waddles fighting

395
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: something too. Yeah, I mean so they got some issues.

396
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: That game was not reply them for the Dolphins. Um,

397
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: they playing again. They are playing the Chargers. Okay, it

398
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: could be a fun game. Yeah, especially Mike Williams plays.

399
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, Darren Waller is on track to come

400
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: off injured reserve for Week fifteen against the Patriots, which

401
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: mean would mean he would then play. He's on a

402
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: buy now. Uh no, they played Thursday night. He's not

403
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: playing this week. If you have them and you've been

404
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: stashing him, be thrilled. You've got nothing at nothing. He's

405
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: one of the worst. Kyle Pitts got you more this year?

406
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean both were tragic picks, though. Yeah.

407
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, at least you haven't been starting Waller this

408
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: whole time. Man, you were counting on him and you

409
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a good backup plan probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

410
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: I hope the Raiders though, he didn't even look great.

411
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: Since he's been he's been right. He's older than people

412
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: think too, right, he was he came out, Yeah for

413
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: a while before everything. He's in college a long time. Yeah,

414
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's a Wayne Goldman was the running back

415
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks claimed. Just a guy, typical Wayne Golman.

416
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: Just a guy. Yeah. Absolutely. Um, So that's the basically

417
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: your injury report for this week is the bye is

418
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: the biggest problem. The bye is the big issue. Yeah.

419
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I have some teams like whoa I gotta pick up somebody. Yeah,

420
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: this is anyone who plays um while we're on the sun,

421
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: while we're doing this fantasy football. From this being the

422
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: last week of the regular season. I know a lot

423
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: of leagues out there have the consolation bracket. Hopefully your

424
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: playoffs didn't start this week, because if you didn't realize

425
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: that and you bump everything back, right, but the consolation bracket, Yeah,

426
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: like the toilet Bowl, teams that are in the consolation

427
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: browned and not in the regular playoffs should not make

428
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: waiver moves. Mm hmm. Interesting. Yeah, it's probably true. You're

429
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: out of it. You've got what you once you get.

430
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: Once your regular season ends and you were not in

431
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, do not then start picking guys up off.

432
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: Let the let the teams who are actually in the

433
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: playoffs that matter make the roster moves. So what if

434
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: there's a prize for the Constellation winner, I don't care.

435
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't care because you are not in the playoffs.

436
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: If six teams go the playoffs and six teams don't,

437
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: if there's a prize for the Constellation, then if you

438
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: have a prize for the Constellation round or bracket in

439
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: your in your fantasy league, then put all your teams

440
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: in damn playoffs. There shouldn't be a prize. Yeah, I mean,

441
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: I guess depends on league rules. Though, like hypothetical, we're

442
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: in a league together. I have an outside chance of going.

443
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: But I have a pretty good team, you know what

444
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean. I've won a lot of games, I've toward

445
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: a lot of points, but my record is not wonderful. One.

446
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm a tough division. If the winner of the toilet

447
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: Bowl gets fifty bucks or pat on the head whatever,

448
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna start garbage, dudes. You have to cam

449
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: only have one defense on my roster. If it's ok

450
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: st match and I'm in the playoffs and my two

451
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get hurt in the same week, and you pick

452
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: up the quarterback that I was going to pick up,

453
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: and I have nobody to start a quarterback, I get

454
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: to start Marcus Mariota because it's the playoffs. Yeah, I

455
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: don't have a serious problem with that. I guess it

456
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: depends how your waivers were structured, too. If the worst

457
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: teams get to pick things up and you have no

458
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: chance and you're picking up the hot guys, I think

459
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: that's brutal. But if all I'm trying to do is

460
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: put a defense out there that's not the Texans or whatever.

461
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a move. It's a toileble. Yeah, I

462
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: just you're not in the playoffs. If you want, if

463
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: you want your constellation bracket to matter, then put all

464
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: all your teams in the playoffs. You know, I just

465
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that much. But I understand you. I mean,

466
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: like my main league, there isn't a constellation, and an

467
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: actual costs real money to make a roster move, and

468
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: I just got eliminated this week, so I'm done. I mean,

469
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: I even if I take a zero at my defense now,

470
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: I would pay. I would make moves this week because

471
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I can still affect who makes the playoffs. Right, But

472
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not making pathetic. I've been thinking about the team,

473
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: the league we're going together. My tight ends are decimated,

474
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: So I'm going to cut Derek Carr because I've hurt.

475
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I did that last night or whatever.

476
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: So at this minute, I have one quarterback hurts who

477
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: I played on starting the rest of the way. But

478
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: what if he blows out his ankle this week? Most

479
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: not think of zero a quarterback the rest of the year.

480
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: But there's the constellation brack. It doesn't matter. But what

481
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: if it did. It doesn't. If it did, then you're

482
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: If you did, then you're running your league wrong. I

483
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. I I guess it comes down to

484
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: those type of things. I know you're not in Dynasty,

485
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: but this is a big Dynasty thing. Is I don't

486
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: have a problem with picking up guys in Dynasty. But

487
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: the problem is is that most guys are already in

488
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Dynasty leagues because you've got twenty five man roster, thirty

489
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: man roster, whatever it is. But anybody who emerges now

490
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: is somebody who's somebody cut at some point during the season.

491
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh and he's got a roll now. Like yeah, But

492
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: where I was going with this is it might be

493
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: an aspect you don't know about Dynasty. Is people tank

494
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: like crazy. Like there's two leagues that I'm terrible and

495
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: I traded Kamara, I traded Parkley, and my team's really bad.

496
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: I have a ton of draft picks and there's one

497
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: team I'm oh and twelve with and I don't even

498
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: compete week to week. And that's not uncommon in Dynasty.

499
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: Because I was over five. I'm like, take all my

500
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: good dudes. I want picks. But what's nice about that

501
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: league is this year, in particular, be Jean Robinson, who

502
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: we talked about next week. He's going to be the

503
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: first pick in every Dynasty league times a thousand, like

504
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Sa Kwan was. But I'm not guaranteed the first overall pick.

505
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: Whoever wins the Toilet Bowl gets the first overall pick,

506
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: So I'll probably end up with the second pick because

507
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: you can tank so bad. But you know, like it's

508
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: almost a little too unfair, like you get Lemieux or Lebron,

509
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So there's some leagues like

510
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: that that sounds like that sounds like a flaw in

511
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: your league. Then in a way, I kind of like

512
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: anything anything though that that that I'm sorry, this is

513
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: how it goes. Gets the first pick does not get

514
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: the first pick. They get an extra first round pick.

515
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: There's thirteen picks they get pick. But see, Dynasty is

516
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: different because because you're carrying those players over to the

517
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: next year. I'm talking about single standalone leagues that you know,

518
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: then this year is just a total donation to me.

519
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, I have no chance of winning because I

520
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: was owned five and dumped all my good dudes. Yeah,

521
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: but there is a reward in the toilet Bowl if

522
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: they get a nice pick, thee overall pick. They don't

523
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: get the first good But you also have a much

524
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: bigger roster than I mean, you're not You shouldn't need

525
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: to pick guys up five tight ends. Your fifth tight

526
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: end might stink, but if you have you can play.

527
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: There's nobody on your waiver wire in a dynasty league

528
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: at this point, No, no, right, exactly, people are picking

529
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: up you know, some of these quarterbacks like DJ Dallas's

530
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: own Travis Homer is owned and nasty league and if

531
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: not there, everyone's putting all their money in for it

532
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: this week, you know, right, No, but no, I hear you.

533
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: This does get a little hairy sometimes this time of year.

534
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: But there's no that would tick me off. If I'm

535
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: like going into the championship game and somebody I'm in

536
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: the toilet Bowl. What You're not getting anything playing in

537
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: the toilet Bowl? Why are you taking this tight ended?

538
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: I need to play this week. The only thing I

539
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: fight you on is if what if you do get

540
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: something in the toilet I don't care. Yeah, I mean,

541
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: if there's a nice rule, I'm gonna try to win

542
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: it again. If you have a reward for your toilet,

543
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: but then that's a league flawed, then you should you

544
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: should just let everybody into the playoffs. Yeah, no, I hear,

545
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: there's not a play We basically agree on. There's not

546
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: a playoff for the teams that didn't make the playoffs, right, right, right, right,

547
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: Sorry you didn't. This is there's no Constellation prize here.

548
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: The Constellation Prize is making the playoffs and making the

549
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: team that finished second gets the Constellation Prize. Yeah, not

550
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: the team that finished seventh or eighth just because you

551
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: beat all the bad teams. Yeah, that's the way it

552
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: should be to me, But there are some leagues that

553
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: reward which leagues. Yeah, we both agree on that absolutely. Anyways,

554
