WEBVTT - Fantasy Focus

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Allie.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>He is Matt Williamson, and this is the Drive. It's

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>time for the Fantasy Football Focus and as it is Wednesday,

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>will take a look around the league at who is

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in and who is out in the early portions of practice.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Roster move in Cleveland, Matt Anthony Schwartz goes on too

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I R with a concussion. Uh. The team claimed Jalen

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Darden off waivers from the Buck, so he'll similar He'll

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>take over that. UH, special ties return guy, small but fast.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Schwartz is bigger than him though he is him. He's

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>not the typical track guy. I mean he's six ft

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. Yeah, but neither one is a

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>huge factor. But they could be a big play for

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Watson or something like that, you know, right. Uh. May

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Schwarts be with you, May the Swarts be with you.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Christian Dry saw the good offensive tackle with the Vikings.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Uh was he limited participant Wednesday. He's in concussion protocol.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's the first step in the concussion protocol. Returning

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>from that. They played Lions this week and it could

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be a high scoring affair. Yeah, no doubt Lions are

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>favored in that game. I looked at that last time.

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, am I reading that right? Ye? That's the

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Vikings getting no respect whatsoever. None. I don't know if

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you saw this on Football Outsiders, but the day before

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>they put the v o A out, they highlight like

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>eight teams and one of them was the Vikings and

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>they showed all these key stats Vikings in the league,

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>in the league, blah blah blah, and they said, nine

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>out of ten times, this is a five team and

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Vegas cares about that stuff. You just keep finding ways

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to win, right, I mean there's something you said for

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that too. There's no doubt, but there saws a big deal.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the line is Night and David when he's

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in there. Uh. DeAndre Swift limited with an ankle injury

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of that matchup. Um, this is

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>just constant with him. Well, last week was the first

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>time he was not on the injury report and now

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>he is. Now he's back, and he had his best

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>game in a while, you know, and he had a

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>big share of the carries. The problem is Jamal Williams

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>is obviously a problem going anywhere, right, But the Jackson dude,

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Now it's three guys and he got ten touches or

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>something last week. That's brutal. Live with that part, No,

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>he can't. Zay Jones with the chest was limited Wednesday.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>He was limited with that last week as well. Only

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>had seventeen yards last week. I think he had seven

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>targets in the game. Okay, Data had a miserable, really bad,

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>really bad day. Uh again, seven targets I'll take all

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>day long. Oh yeah, yeah, especially for what you pay

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>for him in DFF, for all that stuff, you know, right,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>seven targets is great. Trailing Burks with a concussion on

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>for the Titans did not practice. It's late in a

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>week not to be practicing. Yeah, you'd liked him to.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>You'd like him to start that clock. You know. Is

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it even possible for him to play now? It is?

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean he could still come tomorrow, get his and

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>get cleared, you know, get cleared by Saturday. But you

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>don't like to see the guy still suffering concussion symptoms. Yeah.

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Cos Watkins with a shoulder was limited in practice on Wednesday.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>He matters, He matters, Yeah, especially with Goddard out. Um,

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean he could be our cheap DFS guy. You know,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a good candidate for those type of things. Yeah,

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>big play, Uh, Kenny Golladay with Annis a full participant.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Wow for Kenny Golladay. I mean not to have any

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>interest fantasy wise, but be nice to see some receiver

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>last there a little while. Darius lat And it's all

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>about there. He's good. He's good. David and Joeku for

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Browns was limited in practice on Wednesday. He's trying

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to come back from a knee injury, for which blurb

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I read that they thought they'd be back, but they

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>thought he'd be back last week too, right Yeah, um, yeah,

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know if that's a great match

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>up against the Bengals or not. Yeah, it's not ideal,

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, it depends on Watson plays. Right. Uh. David

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Bell uh, the wide rookie wide receiver for the Browns,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard anything about it. He's been playing more and more,

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't do it. Didn't do anything. Yeah, run well,

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he has a thumb injury that limited him Wednesday. Yeah,

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he was not. He's like four seven guy like all,

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>except he's not as good as people love them. Like Oh,

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he's like the next Keenan Allen. That's kind of al

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 1>was good from the get go. Yes, and he was better,

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a better prospect. Richie James, of course a Giants wide

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>receiver was learned Wednesday. Why wouldn't he be he has

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>a knee. Um, you know what do you expect? Nico

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Collins with a foot and Brandon Cooks with the calf

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>did not practice Wednesday for Washington, and they've they've named

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Davis Mills the starter again. They're never gonna win another

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>game ever, not. I don't love he's gonna win another

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>game there. This is as miserable as a kid. Yeah, Like,

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can use Pierce. I mean especially

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>this week. I mean if if they have no weapons,

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Pierce is gonna get hit by ten dudes every play. Yeah,

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>do you pick up Chris more and start him if you?

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, remember six teams on a bye this week.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's got to catch the football to see the clear one.

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Then if those two around, if those two are Chris

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Moore is the guy. Yeah, I mean he's like the

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>only NFL see where I mean he could you get

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in the mop up duty or that you know? Again,

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>like what happened with the Dolphins when the Houston played

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins a couple of weeks in Houston Jump. The

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins jumped out to the thirty to nothing lead and

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>then just coast the rest it away and the ends

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>up thirty to fifty. I mean, you could convince me

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>in DFS if he's super cheap and we do that tomorrow.

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I can pick him up with

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>waivers and put him my story online. You might need

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to again this week. Yeah, there are some crazy situations.

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Corey Davis with an illness did not practice on Wednesday.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he was a hot pick up this week

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden he's not practicing. It

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>would be good for Elijah More. Yeah, a Barrios exists

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in that offense and just yeah, that's too many miles

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of feet and Wilson is gonna be the one. How

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>about this Mike Williams limited on Wednesday? Yeah, that would

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>be a big deal for that would be whoever has

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>him has been sitting on him now for a ton

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of Dinas leagues, but those I mean you can absorb

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it in those man roster stuff. But I mean he's

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>been brutal this year. Yeah, in out and not as

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>brutals Keenan Allen. But but he's only catch he gets hurt.

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You last time we saw the guy. I mean, are

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you start him right away if he's back? I think so. Yeah,

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they're playing the Panthers. You know he's gonna get yet,

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get the football. Travis Homer with that knee injury,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>practiced on Wednesday, So he and DJ Dallas we think

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>they're both gonna split. Well, Homer is probably the number

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.119
<v Speaker 1>one right now. Dallas also dealing with a an ankle

0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>injury as well, So um, I can see picking up

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>either or both. You know, No, Seattle does not run

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the football this year. They're the exactly like you want

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it, making adjustments like they've just gone

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>completely away from their their previous like three years game plans,

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>which implies they like their quarterback better now. It's amazing. Yeah,

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>don't let I gotta let Russ cook. Well maybe he stinks,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that Pete Carroll was won a million

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>games and they might have known it. Gino cook cook

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>pizza alright's pizza rolls. Uh. DJ Dallas did not practice today,

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>so it is. I mean, Homer's the one and I'm

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>starting him. Yeah, because both those guys catch passes to absolutely,

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but if it's clear that only one is of brand

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>name guys, because then they picked someone up, they picked

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>up some which just implies it just a dude, just

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the dude. They probably need him just to practice this week,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>can you get too engine. They weren't sure if Travis

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Homer is going to practice or not. He was limited

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>or practice, but still enough running backs to run of practice. Yeah,

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>he can't have the same guy would take every rope.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Michael Carter with that ankle injury no longer on the

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Jets injury report. That's an interesting situation now it is.

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe this is a leap of faith by me, but

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he is a plug and place starter. They

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>seem to be really down on Yeah. Yeah, and I

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>think the Jags were too. Coaching staffs hate James Robinson. Two.

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>That's a couple of staffs now three staffs that haven't

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>liked them. You know, I don't get it. I don't

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>quite get it. But he produces, but I don't know. Yeah,

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.199
<v Speaker 1>I kind of interested in Carter as a just put

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>him in there as a starter. I'd probably be more

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>inclined to start him as a flex just to be safe.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, in fact, it could could wind up in

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a situation where he and Knights split carries or snaps

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>and they end up both being flexes. You could the

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Knight pretty not owned the backfield, but certainly had the

0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>portion you wanted last Yeah. Yeah, Kenneth Walker obviously not

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>practicing this week. That kills Ty Johnson though, Yeah, oh yeah,

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>he's Carter's another receiving back. Joe Mixon practiced in form Wednesday.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 1>He has been cleared from concussion protocol. Juice matchup the

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>p Ryan stuff was nice, but mixing, Yeah, if you're

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the mixing owner, now you wonder though, does Pete Ryan

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.199
<v Speaker 1>have more of a role give him what he's done? Well,

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>he's always been the third down back, I know, but

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they were using, they were throwing, they were throwing the

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>ball more to mixing this year. I think pe Ryan's

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a better receiver than Mixing. I know he's better in protection.

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Not the mixing is bad, but they rave about p

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Ryan and protection, So that leads me to believe that

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that Mixings instead of playing seventy of the snaps as

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he had been doing maybe play sixty. Yeah, I would

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>think he's a perfect candidate too, as if they get

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a big lead. We trust pe Ryan. Whon't you sit down? Yeah,

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>we need you for down, We need you for who

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you know? But you're thrilled you haven't been if you

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>owned them. That's the news one to hear for this week. Absolutely.

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Hayden Hurst with the cap injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Tight ends are barren, but you know he could have

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>been maybe useful for a lot of people. Yeah, Uh,

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>we get the designations for the Rams game. Rams Raider's morning,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>John Wolford questionable, Baker's going to start. There many news

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>in the last one could be Bryce Perkins. I guess

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 1>it could ye if Yeah we saw what that look like.

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Could Baker being worse than what Bryce Perkins was against?

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Brace Perkins three for like eight yards? Right, I mean

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't complete passes as ugly. Yeah, Aaron Donald will

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>not play this week. It's good. That's would be a

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>tough water that's gonna be. Uh, it's gonna be just

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>watching uh run run run run run. Yeah, I mean

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I know Acres kind of took over that backfield, but

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's the plan, I mean, early

0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>down guy on a bad offense. That's terrible recipe for fantasy.

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>How about this one Henry Anderson, who has been out

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>since Week six because of a medical condition. I was

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking where he's at with the Panthers, the trading the Cardinals.

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>He's listed as being with the Panthers and Henry Anderson, No,

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this is this is a defensive as is just this

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>is a fantasy relavance. Yeah, you're thinking Robbi Anderson. This

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>just struck me. So I don't know why it's on

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>the road O uh, you know NBC Sports age fantasy

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff here. Henry Anderson said he suffered a minor stroke. Wow,

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>defensive lineman, Like, what what's up with guys having strokes

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>at these young as? Yea Teddy Bruski had that happened

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to him, Like, I don't have any clue, but wow,

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that's scary. Yeah, he's had a decent career. I know

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about now like a three or four end

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>was a jet for a while. Trevor Lawrence, with a

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>toe injury, said he expects to play in Week fourteen

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>against the Titans. I am shocked that that was just

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a toe injury. That was gruesome. He got ben over,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>he got folded backwards, like I'm I don't think he

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:05.199
<v Speaker 1>practiced today though. Uh no, he did not. But he's

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>planning on playing. Is he gonna run much? I don't

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>know how thrilled I am to start him this week

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to playing the Titans, playing Titans and there's a lot

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of quarterbacks on by. I mean it might be the move. Yeah,

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>but man I and when I saw that injury, I'm like, oh,

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>he's done for the year. Yeah, it looked really bad.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Christian McCaffrey limited on Wednesday. That's probably just gonna be

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>something that happens moving forward. Yeah. Uh. Deebo Samuel also limited,

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 1>as was Nick Bosa, who has a hamstring injury. That

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds like, hey, let's rest all our real stars. Yeah,

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that's what that sounds like. Yeah. I think Bosch is

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the to me, the lead candidate for Defense Player of

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the Year, But what do I know. I think it's

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>timm and Parsons. Yeah. Ghost has been unbelievable. Uh. Cayl

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan saying today that there's a way outside chance that

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo is able to return for the playoffs. Yeah,

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I heard that that this isn't quite as bad as

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>we originally thought. It's just a broken foot. They didn't

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>have the Liz Frank injury at all. Um, you hate

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the Liz Frank word. That's always bad. I don't know.

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of people out there broken a foot,

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't it usually like six weeks in the cast. Yeah,

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you gotta get back, you know, actually into

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing football again. But interesting, Yeah, there's what

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>five five weeks left in the season. If you don't

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>know this answer, don't worry about it. But is there

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>any chance Lance is back this year? No? Okay, I

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't think so. We would have heard that by now,

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think so. Yeah, So we'll see. I mean,

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 1>if they can get through this and when Yeah, I

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>mean there in the NFC, they gotta win to like

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>two more games you get to the playoffs, would get

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>them nine wins yet, yeah, I mean they'll do that

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>with this guy, and then you know, then you gotta

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>probably win a first round games, maybe maybe you get Hey,

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go You're gonna go play Tampa Bay in

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the first round, okay, okay, or your host in a

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 1>game against like Washington. Yeah, I mean they're probably gonna

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>win the Vision, Okay, right right right? Uh? Annie Stanley

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>returned to practice on Wednesday with that ankle injury for

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens, obviously, Lamar Jackson did not participate. He will

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>not be playing. This sounds like Stanley might play. Have

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you got any Dobbins news? Uh? I don't see anything

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.719
<v Speaker 1>here about J K. Dobbins. But he's on I R,

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>so they don't have to comment there. Point. I wouldn't

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>plug him in the lineup though, Yeah, I mean I

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know if he's active. Is he gonna be their

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>lead back? I assume so? But is that a good

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>thing for fantasy? Yeah? Yeah? Uh. Deante Foreman did not

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a foot injury. Um,

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>he's been dealing with that for a couple of weeks now. Um.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just he just takes He's he's a

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>heavy workload, high workload guy. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 1>an RB two, don't you think this? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>he gets a lot. They're playing Seattle. You can run

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>on Seattle. No, he's he wouldn't worry me. Toron Tron

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Armstead with that pack injury, did not practice Wednesday. It

0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>may have been heard the last five years that Daniel

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Hackett said it's not looking good for him to return,

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know he says not looking good for Courtland

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Sutton with that hamstring injury to play him work week

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>fourteen against the Chiefs. Was Judy back. Judy's back, and

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's good for the tight end. Dulcis yeah.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a horrific offense, of course, but Sutton

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>was the only thing close to being usable. Maybe that's

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>shooting now, yuh yeah, I know yeah. In other words,

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>fire up the Chiefs defense. Is he yeah? Always yeah? Uh.

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tannehill said the ankle, his ankle is okay after

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>he suffterday new ankle injury in week thirteen, it's okay.

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>He's hard to use too, but fair enough. I mean

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you might need him for this week. Greg Dorge, this

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>is one of those ones where that they only let

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you out to see the practice. Greg Dorge, with a

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>thumb injury, was seeing it practice on Wednesday, while Ron

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>del Moore, who's dealing with a groin injury, was not

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 1>my perception that, especially now with Marquis and Hopkins back

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is Dorch is only Moore's handcuff. So if Moore's in

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Doorche has no value. If he doesn't, Moore doesn't play. Now,

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Dorch is playable. They always have three receivers on the field,

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>so it don't even consider him if Moore is gonna play. Um.

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Not good news on the Odell Beckham front. Nothing's happening, right,

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing's happening. He went to, uh, did you see the

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>stories out of Dallas? And there were some leaks that

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>came out that the Dallas had some concerns about his knee.

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>After having a look at it, I knew they had

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>some concerns about signing and I didn't know. Yeah, he

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>may be to shut down for the year then, Yeah,

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the word out of Dallas was they didn't think he

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>would be ready to play until maybe late January. And

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>from what I understand, they were talking about this on

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast a lot. He's not coming there to sign

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a deal for the year. He went like a two

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>year deal or you know, I mean some security. Good

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 1>luck with that, Yeah, I mean I don't know how

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you write that contract though, to a thirty year old

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.719
<v Speaker 1>receiver who hasn't played right and who hasn't been Odell

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Beckham in five years, right? I mean does that mean

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to cut Zeke and you know, I mean I I

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.919
<v Speaker 1>don't know that that's a good movie. And I'm sure

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna take you know, yeah right, I mean

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>he's Odell Beckham. That's a tough sign. Patrick Mahomes said

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 1>he suffered a bruised foot in week thirteen. He saw

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 1>him limping around. Yeah you can so, but he'll play.

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it'll be just fine. Could Darius Tony Wow

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.680
<v Speaker 1>limited in practice on Wednesday with that hamstring injury? Could

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>we see a Darius Tony I can't help myself. Andy

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Reid with that skill set. I just think could be

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.439
<v Speaker 1>fun that maybe not for fantasy, but I want to

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>see him as if you just can't quit him. I can't,

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>especially after the trade. I mean, like you give Andy

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Reid that toy, that's that's your cowboy. I also been Odell.

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been sitting on in some leagues, you know, right,

0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>some of those guys who's gotta not let him clog

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>your roster? Is this good news or bad news for

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara mark Ingram out for the season. I just

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>saw that has to be good news. The Camara usage

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 1>is my missling to me, unbelievable. It's unbelievable because even worse,

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>this staff sat there for years and what Sean Payton

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.439
<v Speaker 1>used him masterfully and win games left and right, and

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't look bad to me they use him at all. Yeah,

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing that. Like again they're in they're in two

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>minute situations and they've got mark Ingram out there, not

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara, and then they throw mark Ingram the football.

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean in my main league there was like four backs.

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was. I was picking like nine and

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't care really if I got Kamara, Swift, Barkley.

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I ended up with Kamara and Swift. I was too

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>handful of them, like I'll get two of these around

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the corner. He's been one of the worst picks in

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the draft. I mean not I overslept one Sunday when

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he was eight. He was ruled it active even though

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.239
<v Speaker 1>he was five on Saturday night. I'll just watch this

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 1>one on you know, DVR catch up for the commercials.

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I got a zero for tomorrow. But you have to

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>start them. This is the worst kind you'd rather be

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>out for the year because we started him every week

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and nobody used them. Yeah, absolutely brutal. Did you see

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the von Miller news He's out for the year. Out

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>for the year. It was a torn a c L.

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess they didn't know that till now. I didn't

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 1>want to tell well. I mean, I think when you

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 1>have swelling like that, you have to wait, and they

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>probably when they went in. How bad it really? Yeah,

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>because he was getting a procedure get done and the

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 1>surgeons go in and they find out that the a

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 1>c L s toorn. Well, that stinks as a fan

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>because I wanted to watch him in the playoffs or

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.160
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. And it's also stinks for them for next year. Yeah,

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty late in the process for the guy. They

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>gave him a lot of money, like too much, which

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I get if you're going to go in the super Bowl.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But wow, that's a big deal. I mean, I hope

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not a Ronnie Stanley situation, you know what I mean,

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>where you sign him and then you're stuck. Cameron Bread

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>with the illness, did not practice on Wednesday, but Kate

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Otton's their number one now. Brady went to him time

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.959
<v Speaker 1>and time again when it matters. They were short, but

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>he looks good, he moves well, he's he's definitely and

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of touchdown pass. He's fantasy viable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. I think he had like eight or night targets. Yeah, well,

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>here you go with the's on of a Night news

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Robert Sali said on of a Knight is going is

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 1>not going anywhere when Michael Carter returns to the lineup.

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's not the news that you wanted to hear. No,

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but those folks have picked up nights. Maybe you're still

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>using them. Yeah, apparently they like them. But he's not

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna get He's again, he's gonna have getting ten touches.

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael Carter's gonna get ten touches. You said this off

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the area, and I think you're right that that now

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 1>smells more like which is what you don't want. Yeah.

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh Ta with an ankle limited in the early portion

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>this week, he's expected to play. Um but waddles fighting

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>something too. Yeah, I mean so they got some issues.

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>That game was not reply them for the Dolphins. Um,

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>they playing again. They are playing the Chargers. Okay, it

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>could be a fun game. Yeah, especially Mike Williams plays.

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You know. Uh, Darren Waller is on track to come

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 1>off injured reserve for Week fifteen against the Patriots, which

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>mean would mean he would then play. He's on a

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.879
<v Speaker 1>buy now. Uh no, they played Thursday night. He's not

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>playing this week. If you have them and you've been

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>stashing him, be thrilled. You've got nothing at nothing. He's

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst. Kyle Pitts got you more this year?

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean both were tragic picks, though. Yeah.

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at least you haven't been starting Waller this

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 1>whole time. Man, you were counting on him and you

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a good backup plan probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope the Raiders though, he didn't even look great.

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Since he's been he's been right. He's older than people

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.879
<v Speaker 1>think too, right, he was he came out, Yeah for

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a while before everything. He's in college a long time. Yeah,

0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a Wayne Goldman was the running back

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that the Seahawks claimed. Just a guy, typical Wayne Golman.

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Just a guy. Yeah. Absolutely. Um, So that's the basically

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>your injury report for this week is the bye is

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the biggest problem. The bye is the big issue. Yeah.

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I have some teams like whoa I gotta pick up somebody. Yeah,

0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>this is anyone who plays um while we're on the sun,

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>while we're doing this fantasy football. From this being the

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>last week of the regular season. I know a lot

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of leagues out there have the consolation bracket. Hopefully your

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>playoffs didn't start this week, because if you didn't realize

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>that and you bump everything back, right, but the consolation bracket, Yeah,

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 1>like the toilet Bowl, teams that are in the consolation

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 1>browned and not in the regular playoffs should not make

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:54.360
<v Speaker 1>waiver moves. Mm hmm. Interesting. Yeah, it's probably true. You're

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>out of it. You've got what you once you get.

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Once your regular season ends and you were not in

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, do not then start picking guys up off.

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Let the let the teams who are actually in the

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 1>playoffs that matter make the roster moves. So what if

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a prize for the Constellation winner, I don't care.

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't care because you are not in the playoffs.

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>If six teams go the playoffs and six teams don't,

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>if there's a prize for the Constellation, then if you

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>have a prize for the Constellation round or bracket in

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 1>your in your fantasy league, then put all your teams

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>in damn playoffs. There shouldn't be a prize. Yeah, I mean,

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess depends on league rules. Though, like hypothetical, we're

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in a league together. I have an outside chance of going.

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>But I have a pretty good team, you know what

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I've won a lot of games, I've toward

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of points, but my record is not wonderful. One.

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm a tough division. If the winner of the toilet

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Bowl gets fifty bucks or pat on the head whatever,

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna start garbage, dudes. You have to cam

0:23:57.840 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 1>only have one defense on my roster. If it's ok

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>st match and I'm in the playoffs and my two

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks get hurt in the same week, and you pick

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.239
<v Speaker 1>up the quarterback that I was going to pick up,

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and I have nobody to start a quarterback, I get

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to start Marcus Mariota because it's the playoffs. Yeah, I

0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have a serious problem with that. I guess it

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>depends how your waivers were structured, too. If the worst

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>teams get to pick things up and you have no

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:27.120
<v Speaker 1>chance and you're picking up the hot guys, I think

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 1>that's brutal. But if all I'm trying to do is

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 1>put a defense out there that's not the Texans or whatever.

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna make a move. It's a toileble. Yeah, I

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>just you're not in the playoffs. If you want, if

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you want your constellation bracket to matter, then put all

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.439
<v Speaker 1>all your teams in the playoffs. You know, I just

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>haven't thought about that much. But I understand you. I mean,

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>like my main league, there isn't a constellation, and an

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>actual costs real money to make a roster move, and

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I just got eliminated this week, so I'm done. I mean,

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I even if I take a zero at my defense now,

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I would pay. I would make moves this week because

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I can still affect who makes the playoffs. Right, But

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making pathetic. I've been thinking about the team,

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the league we're going together. My tight ends are decimated,

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to cut Derek Carr because I've hurt.

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't I did that last night or whatever.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So at this minute, I have one quarterback hurts who

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I played on starting the rest of the way. But

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>what if he blows out his ankle this week? Most

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>not think of zero a quarterback the rest of the year.

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.919
<v Speaker 1>But there's the constellation brack. It doesn't matter. But what

0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>if it did. It doesn't. If it did, then you're

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 1>If you did, then you're running your league wrong. I

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. I I guess it comes down to

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>those type of things. I know you're not in Dynasty,

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 1>but this is a big Dynasty thing. Is I don't

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with picking up guys in Dynasty. But

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the problem is is that most guys are already in

0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Dynasty leagues because you've got twenty five man roster, thirty

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 1>man roster, whatever it is. But anybody who emerges now

0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is somebody who's somebody cut at some point during the season.

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh and he's got a roll now. Like yeah, But

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 1>where I was going with this is it might be

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>an aspect you don't know about Dynasty. Is people tank

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>like crazy. Like there's two leagues that I'm terrible and

0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I traded Kamara, I traded Parkley, and my team's really bad.

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I have a ton of draft picks and there's one

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>team I'm oh and twelve with and I don't even

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>compete week to week. And that's not uncommon in Dynasty.

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Because I was over five. I'm like, take all my

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>good dudes. I want picks. But what's nice about that

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:29.919
<v Speaker 1>league is this year, in particular, be Jean Robinson, who

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 1>we talked about next week. He's going to be the

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>first pick in every Dynasty league times a thousand, like

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Sa Kwan was. But I'm not guaranteed the first overall pick.

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Whoever wins the Toilet Bowl gets the first overall pick,

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'll probably end up with the second pick because

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you can tank so bad. But you know, like it's

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 1>almost a little too unfair, like you get Lemieux or Lebron,

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So there's some leagues like

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that that sounds like that sounds like a flaw in

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 1>your league. Then in a way, I kind of like

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 1>anything anything though that that that I'm sorry, this is

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>how it goes. Gets the first pick does not get

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the first pick. They get an extra first round pick.

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.679
<v Speaker 1>There's thirteen picks they get pick. But see, Dynasty is

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:16.439
<v Speaker 1>different because because you're carrying those players over to the

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>next year. I'm talking about single standalone leagues that you know,

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 1>then this year is just a total donation to me.

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:26.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I have no chance of winning because I

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:28.680
<v Speaker 1>was owned five and dumped all my good dudes. Yeah,

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but there is a reward in the toilet Bowl if

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 1>they get a nice pick, thee overall pick. They don't

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>get the first good But you also have a much

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 1>bigger roster than I mean, you're not You shouldn't need

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to pick guys up five tight ends. Your fifth tight

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>end might stink, but if you have you can play.

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>There's nobody on your waiver wire in a dynasty league

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>at this point, No, no, right, exactly, people are picking

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>up you know, some of these quarterbacks like DJ Dallas's

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>own Travis Homer is owned and nasty league and if

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>not there, everyone's putting all their money in for it

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this week, you know, right, No, but no, I hear you.

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>This does get a little hairy sometimes this time of year.

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>But there's no that would tick me off. If I'm

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>like going into the championship game and somebody I'm in

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the toilet Bowl. What You're not getting anything playing in

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the toilet Bowl? Why are you taking this tight ended?

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I need to play this week. The only thing I

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 1>fight you on is if what if you do get

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>something in the toilet I don't care. Yeah, I mean,

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>if there's a nice rule, I'm gonna try to win

0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it again. If you have a reward for your toilet,

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 1>but then that's a league flawed, then you should you

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 1>should just let everybody into the playoffs. Yeah, no, I hear,

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>there's not a play We basically agree on. There's not

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a playoff for the teams that didn't make the playoffs, right, right, right, right,

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Sorry you didn't. This is there's no Constellation prize here.

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>The Constellation Prize is making the playoffs and making the

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>team that finished second gets the Constellation Prize. Yeah, not

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the team that finished seventh or eighth just because you

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>beat all the bad teams. Yeah, that's the way it

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>should be to me, But there are some leagues that

0:28:55.480 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 1>reward which leagues. Yeah, we both agree on that absolutely. Anyways,

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:06.320
