1
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Everybody. It is Wednesday, October two. Welcome to the NFL

2
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show Me your Man named g Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: joined by Michael f Florio and the specialist cast of

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: dozens that help us put on this show every week.

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: We're so glad that you could be with us today.

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: We got plenty to talk about, and we are past

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: the halfway point now of the fantasy regular season. You

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: mentioned this on Monday Show that at this point you

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea of where your team stands

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: right now and what you need to do to make

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or you know, maybe if you're just gonna

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: play spoiler for somebody else's here, you know this by now, Yeah,

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm not the type of player who

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: likes to be like, well, this is a lost year

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: for me. So if I'm sitting there like two and

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: five or something like that, I'm gonna throw out some

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: hail Mary trade offers just to try to salvage the

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: season if I can. And I think that's what the

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: listeners should do too. It's never fun to just go

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: down without a fight. No, you don't want to just

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, just be a doormat the rest of the way,

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: like I said, even if you can't win it all,

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 1: you can wreck somebody else's year and you can point

24
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: and laugh and say I stopped you from winning a championship.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: So that's what you have to play for. So hopefully,

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: even if your team isn't doing well, you've been hanging

27
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: with us and we certainly appreciate it. We got plenty

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: to talk about. Because it is a Wednesday, we will

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: go through our game previews for the entire weekends. Slate

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: also give you some trade targets. Since we're talking about

31
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: throwing out some hail Mary deals, we'll talk about some

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: guys maybe you should try and acquire, maybe some guys

33
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: that you need to send away at this point in

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the season. But as always, let's start with our fantasy headlines.

35
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Some news that popped up on our radar on Wednesday morning.

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: This according to Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett. He says

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is trending toward playing Sunday against the Jaguars,

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: that Wilson has been dealing with a hamstring injury. A reminder,

39
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: by the way, that game is being played in London.

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: It will kick off at nine thirty a m Eastern

41
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: so you can set your line ups on Saturday. Hopefully

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: there's no Camara like surprise inactives, but in the meantime

43
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: Russ is back, at least appearance he's going to be back. So, Floria,

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: do you trust starting any Broncos? Now? If I have

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: a choice, No, I would not want to. I don't

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: think you can trust Russell Wilson one. He has been

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: playing well too, He's very banged up right now, so

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: you always have to worry about him, uh, like tweaking

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: that hampsting and getting taken out of the game. I

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: know no Mike Boone's looking like, but still that backfield

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: has been very murky right now to trust uh. And

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: then Courtland Sutton has been the one good thing in

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the passing game, but the last couple of weeks he's

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: been struggling so much. I guess maybe if anyone Greg

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Dolchick is there is a streaming tight end. But ideally

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: I would stay away from the Denver if you can

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: avoid the Broncos, especially this week. There's only two teams

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: on a by now, mind you, it's the Chiefs and Chargers,

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: so that takes out some pretty notable players. But there

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: are only two teams on a by so hopefully your

61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: roster and the waiver wire isn't quite as thin this week.

62
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I might still give Courtland Sutton a little bit of

63
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: a run, just because he's the guy that's getting the targets.

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: And you're right, Greg Dulsi came in off I R

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: and immediately was getting snaps getting targets. We can pretty

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: much pour one out for Albert. Oh, because that's like

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying this from the heart, because I was big

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: on the Albert O'quiabunham hype train this year and I

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: just had to admit I had to The train was

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: slowing down. I just jumped off and rolled down a hill.

71
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: You were far from alone. I thought he was worth

72
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: taking a flyer on in drafts. Many people did. But

73
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: while we're talking about the Broncos, Marcus, how do you

74
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: feel about on plane workouts? Uh? Not a fan, not

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: at least not if I'm on the plane. Yeah. You

76
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: know Russell Wilson doing high knees apparently as they try

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: to London. That's the story that on an eight hour

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: flight to London he spent half of the time stretching

79
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: and working out and doing high knee exercises up and

80
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: down the aisless people sleep, like I don't even like

81
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: it when the person next me wants to roll up

82
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: the window shade while I'm trying, more annoying than when

83
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: like the whole plane is dark and one random person

84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: is like, let me see what you see? Clouds? Like, like,

85
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: that's all you see? Are you four? Have you not

86
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: seen the clouds before? We know what they look like.

87
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Pull the shade down so we can all go to sleep,

88
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: saying with you, I know you're trying to get healthy,

89
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: but bro man, just let it rest while people are sleeping.

90
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Some news that happened just after

91
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: we finished recording our show earlier in the week, the

92
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Jets acquired James Robinson in a trade from the Jacksonville

93
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: Jaguars for a conditional sixth round pick in three. It

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: can become a fifth round pick if Robinson rushes for

95
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: six hundred yards this season, So obviously this is a

96
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: move to fill the void left by Breece Hall in

97
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: the a c L injury he suffered. Now Michael Carter

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: is still there, but you know, we saw Robinson sort

99
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: of fading to the background in Jacksonville the last few weeks.

100
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Does this become or how do you think this gets

101
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: split up in New York between Robinson and Michael Carter.

102
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: So I will I will fully admit that right now,

103
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: until we see anything happened on the field, it is

104
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: a guessing game. But my thinking is that Robinson, who yes,

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: like you said, he had been fading and I know

106
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, oh, was that because

107
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of the lack of touches. My thinking is the lack

108
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: of touches was because of a down performance, like he

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: was not looking himself these last couple of weeks. He

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: still continues to come back from the worst possible injury

111
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: in that achilles. I'm thinking the groundwork gets split between

112
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: Carter and Robinson, with Carter handling most of the pass work.

113
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows the system, he knows his team,

114
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: he's already been involved. The goal on work is I

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: think what's gonna really separate the two. I could see

116
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: that going to James Robinson, but right now I think

117
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: they're both kind of more flex options until we get

118
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: more answers. But I would lean on the side of Carter.

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: I do think Carter is gonna get more work, especially early.

120
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned the passing down work, and I know the

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Jets have been playing well, but you have to wonder

122
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: sort of whin the other shoe drops at some point,

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: and if they start trailing, then I think you see

124
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: more Carter. I also think this offense wanted to have

125
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: maybe not a fifty fifty split between Carter and Breeze Hall,

126
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: but I don't think they anticipated Hall playing so well

127
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: that he was just gonna take everything over. And so

128
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I think with Robinson being there, as long as James

129
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Robinson is okay, and once he picks up the playbook,

130
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: maybe you see I'd say a sixty forty split between

131
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the two of them there, but they're both worth having

132
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: on your roster. This is a week to kind of

133
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: see how things sort of split out between the two

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: before we make any hard and fast decision. See Carter

135
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: taking over a lot of the work easier than I

136
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: could see Robinson doing. Yeah, I think that's fair. Makes

137
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: I think that's absolutely fair. Other big news that happened

138
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, Frank Reich announced that Sam Ellinger

139
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: will replace Matt Ryan as a Colt starting quarterback for

140
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. It was sort of a

141
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: confusing story because at first it seemed like, well, maybe

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: Ryan is getting benched because he's injured, and then it

143
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: came out that Will know this has nothing to do

144
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: with the injury. We were just looking to make a change.

145
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna see Sam Ellinger, and if you're

146
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: watching the streaming show, you're gonna see nothing but Matt

147
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Ryan highlights because Sam Ellinger has never thrown a pass

148
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, so we literally don't have

149
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: any highlights of him. So now you talk about a

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: guy who is the ultimate mystery box at quarterback for Indianapolis.

151
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: How do we feel about their past catchers? Uh, definitely worried.

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: I think Michael Pitt and Junior is talented enough and

153
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: we'll see enough volume as the go to wide receiver

154
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: one there that you could continue to start him. But

155
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: even him, I thought he was gonna be a wide

156
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: receiver one this year with Matt Ryan, with Ellinger, I'm

157
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: like he's more of a two, maybe even getting pushed

158
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: down to like low end wide receiver two. Whereas like

159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce was someone that I was getting excited about.

160
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell had become a thing these last couple of weeks.

161
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I think you can roster those guys, but I don't

162
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: think you could start them at all right now until

163
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: we see what this could look like. And this obviously

164
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: is a move because he's a more mobile quarterback. So

165
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I think that hurts as well because he's not going

166
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to be looking to get rid of the ball right away.

167
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: He's not gonna look to get rid of the ball

168
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: right away. It also speaks to the fact that the

169
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line, which had been been a strength with

170
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: him the last couple of years, isn't maybe as strong

171
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: as it used to be. It's frustrating because we were

172
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: really starting to get into Alec Pierce and Paris Campbell

173
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: is nice waiver wire options, but as you mentioned, I

174
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: think right now you just have to take a weight

175
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and see again. All three of these receivers should be

176
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: on your roster, but they're not really startable until we

177
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: know more. The other part of this is, and you've

178
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: pointed out Matt Ryan loves throwing to his running backs,

179
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: which was gonna be a boost for Jonathan Taylor. I mean,

180
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Niheim Hines, but if Allaner is going

181
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: to run the ball himself, potentially there are a fewer

182
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: targets there for those running backs, and that's frustrating. Yeah,

183
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean Dion Jackson was getting double digits. Heargets that's

184
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be a thing anymore. I don't think that's

185
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a thing. It's gonna be interesting because that

186
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: Indy Washington game now features Sam Ellinger versus Taylor Heineke,

187
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: just like we all drew it up in August. I

188
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: look like it's the air Horne. Thanks guys, So let's

189
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: bring the mood back up. Let's talk some fantasy heroes

190
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: of the week. The guy that is going to hopefully

191
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: carry your team to victory. Who do you think that

192
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: is in Week eight? I think it's a player that

193
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: you have been very bullish on for weeks now. I

194
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: think it's where he mostirt, who is clearly taken over

195
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins backfield. Chase Edmonds is is no longer

196
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: a thing at all. Most dirt. He's just running very

197
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: very well right now. Last week he played the Snaps,

198
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: had sixteen carries and what I love is five targets,

199
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: went for over a hundred yards and a touchdown. Now

200
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: he gets the Lions, who we know you can run

201
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: all over. They've allowed the third most fantasy points to

202
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: running backs this season. We just saw last week Zeke

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: punching in twice. Tony Pollard had a big day against them,

204
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: so that sort of volume paired with the fact that

205
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: he might be the fastest running back in the league,

206
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: so he's always a home run hitter. I think where

207
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: he mosted as a must start option this week, and

208
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: I think he has a huge chance of having a

209
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: very big game. We already knew he was taking over

210
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: pretty much all the rushing duties there, but if he's

211
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna start to get targets like he did last week,

212
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: then Chase Edmons might as well find himself a seat

213
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Christian so he can get comfortable on the bench because

214
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: he just might not play much at all. We went forward.

215
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: For me, it's Joe Mixon and mixing to this point

216
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: has been sort of man. I mean, this is a

217
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: guy that we were talking about potentially as a first

218
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: round draft pick in some league curtly, certainly early second

219
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: round at the worst. He's barely an RB one right now.

220
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't have eighty five rushing yards so far this season,

221
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: but he's scoring touchdowns occasionally and that has sort of helped.

222
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: But this week a great matchup on Halloween against the

223
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, who have been miserable when it comes to

224
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: stopping the run. I think the Bengals offense is starting

225
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: to get going, and I think the fact that we're

226
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: seeing Joe Burrow hit down the field shots two guys

227
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: like Jamaar Chase and Tee Higgins only helps stretch out

228
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: of defense and open some things up for Joe Mixon.

229
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: So maybe this is the week we can get him

230
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: over eighty five rushing yards. Knock on wood, Maybe he

231
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: gets to a hundred rushing yards in the game so

232
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: far this and then it so far this season, So

233
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: hopefully it happens on Monday Night. But I like him

234
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: a lot against the against the Cleveland I love this

235
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: chances of scoring a touchdown too. He gets so much

236
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: volume near the goal line and the Browns are so

237
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: weak against that. So hopefully it actually comes around for

238
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. So we're gonna talk about the good, we

239
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: gotta talk about the bad. Who is your fantasy villain

240
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: for the week? This week has been my Kyle Pitts

241
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: el tour, Like I'm just every show mom and I'm like, yeah,

242
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I'll take the L for Kyle Pitts, and no, you're

243
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: not gonna see me get very angry today. If you

244
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: want to hear me angry, go go listen to Monday Show.

245
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: But I just can't do it anymore with Kyle Pitts. Like, uh,

246
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: they were trailing by double figures pretty much the entire

247
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: game last week. Completed eight passes, attempted thirteen from the

248
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: one yard line through too short to Kyle Pitts to

249
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: get it in the end zone. I mean, at some point,

250
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: it's not a Kyle Pitts issue. Kyle Pitts is very good,

251
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: but it's his quarterback, it's his play caller. All of

252
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: that is setting him up for failure that I don't

253
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I think he's one of those players markets that's too

254
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: good to drop, like in case we see a quarterback change,

255
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: but he's not good enough to start. He's just one

256
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of those players that like, waste the roster spot on me.

257
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: He's in fantasy purgatory right now, which is kind of

258
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: a bad place to be. But I was saying, you know,

259
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: after we spent all offseason hyping him up, and I'm

260
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: sure you know, next year We're gonna probably do this again,

261
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of folks out there are

262
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: gonna be like, we're not listening to you. We're not

263
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: drafting Kyle Pitts. I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna

264
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: be back in on Kyle Pitts next year. I'll take

265
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: him out a discount. I'm gonna be back in. He's

266
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: too good. Right once they figure out the quarterback situation,

267
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna take off. So I'll be back in on

268
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: him this week. I'm a little nervous about Seedee Lamb.

269
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not telling you to sit Seedee Lamb

270
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: because he is still good. He is still the number

271
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: one target there in Dallas. I don't like the matchup

272
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears. The Bears have shown that you

273
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: can run the football against them, but it's really hard

274
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: to throw the football against him. And I know we

275
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: all had a Bailey Zappy party for about twenty minutes

276
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Right he came in and he scored

277
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: a couple of quick touchdowns. Everybody's like, oh, Mike Jones,

278
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: you about to lose your job. But then you know

279
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: he came back to Earth and then we're like Oh yeah,

280
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: they just have two quarterbacks in New England who are

281
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: both maybe kind of mid at best. I do think though,

282
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Ceedee Lamps sort of struggle this week

283
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: against the Bears defense. So, like I said, I think

284
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: you're starting him because chances are you don't have a

285
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of other better options than Ceedee Lamb because the

286
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: ceiling is potentially high, but I think this week the

287
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: floor is potentially kind of low for him as well,

288
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: something to just kind of keep in mind. This week,

289
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: let's turn down to Thursday Night football the Ravens and

290
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, which on paper least seems to be a

291
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: good matchup. We do actually have a decent Third Day

292
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: night game last week with the Saints and Cardinals, and

293
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm very excited, Like this is a fun game to watch,

294
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: even if it's not as fun as we had hoped

295
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: coming in, there's a lot we can learn from watching this. Definitely,

296
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: the the Ravens, Okay, they've been up and down there

297
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: four and three right now, the Bucks kind of in

298
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: a tailspin. You should check that game out though, on

299
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Prime Video and NFL plus A fifteen Eastern. So let's

300
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: start at the quarterback spot. Who has more points in

301
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: this one, Lamar Jackson or the Pharaoh Tom Brady. I'm

302
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna go with Lamar Jackson and his rushing ability. They're

303
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks have been struggling as of late, but I'll

304
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: always take the guy who, uh it, can throw a

305
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: seventy five year touchdown pass and run for a seventy

306
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: five year touchdown past. Not many quarterbacks can have that potential.

307
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty much why I'm going with Lamar as well.

308
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like this year in the Fantasy

309
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, the pharaoh is getting usurped at this point.

310
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many other quarterbacks who were playing well,

311
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and just as you mentioned, Lamar, if he's not doing

312
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: it with his arm, he'll find a way to do

313
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: it with his legs. Not something you can say of

314
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady for a bit. For like the changing of

315
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: the guard at quarterback. This feels like the year like

316
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: the older generation is is kind of going away and

317
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the young guys between Brady, Rogers, you know, Stafford to

318
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: a point, Matt Ryan now getting benched Russ. The old

319
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: guard is on the way out and the new guard

320
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: is definitely taking over. Let's go to the backfield who

321
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: has more points in this one Gus Edwards or Leonard

322
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: four Nett's league winner Lenny just because of dump off passes?

323
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Like this is a guy who legitimately had negative rushing

324
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: yards a couple of weeks ago and still finishes a

325
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: top ten running back with like almost twenty Fantasy points

326
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: because of all the dump off passes he gets. But also,

327
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: am I crazy for being a little bit worried about

328
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards? Last week was his first game since there

329
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: was no limitations on him at all, and now he

330
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: has a short week against I know they were ran

331
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: all over last week, but on paper, still a tough

332
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: run Bucks run defense definitely still a tough run defense,

333
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: and you do worry how does Edwards sort of bounce

334
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: back after in a short week. I still sort of

335
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: like him. I would start him as a flex if

336
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I had him, But I do think Leonard Fournett is

337
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: the guy who scores more points. And I think this

338
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: is going to sort of put to test that theory

339
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: of how much more valuable a target is than a

340
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: rushing attempt because the Bucks can't run the ball. They

341
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: haven't been able to run the ball all year long,

342
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: but Leonard Fournett has still been certainly very productive fantasy wise. Meanwhile,

343
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't see Gus Edwards getting a whole lot of targets.

344
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: He's pretty much gonna get carries. I can see them

345
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: both ending up with maybe a similar number of touches,

346
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: but I think Leonard Fournett is going to have more

347
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: points because again, a target worth more than a carry

348
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: when it's it's all said and done. Rashad Bateman did

349
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: not practice earlier in the week because he deals with

350
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: a foot injury. Do you trust starting him against the Bucks? No? Um,

351
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: I I wish I did. On Fantasy Live this week,

352
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: he was my player on dropped that I said you

353
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: should hold on to, but I said I would not

354
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: be starting Bateman. I think the upside is too high

355
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. But he hasn't reached double

356
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points since week two. Uh, he's missed time.

357
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't been the same type of receiver since he's

358
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: come back. My thing with him is like, I don't

359
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: like the way they're using him. They're taking a lot

360
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: of deep shots with him, which is great, but he

361
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: can also win in the short intermediate area and then

362
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: pick up yards after the catch, so I would like

363
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: to see him get a little bit more usage there first.

364
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: It's weird you say that too, because and I'm with you,

365
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't trust starting him this week. If

366
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: you have to, I get it. But they're sort of

367
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: using him very similar to how they use Marquis Brown,

368
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: which kind of like with Hollywood, Brown had hit or

369
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: miss results and I think we've seen that. I mean,

370
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Bateman has had one really huge game. Other than that,

371
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: he's giving you about fifties sixty yards receiving and it's

372
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: just kind of a decent number. It's you know, eleven

373
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: twelve fantasy points. Nothing spectacular, but again it's it's one

374
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: of those things where the ceiling is not super high,

375
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: but you know the floors. The floor is not crazy though.

376
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: It's just sort of everything's kind of met with with

377
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: Rashod Bateman, and with him being up in the air

378
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: physically and on a short week, there's just a lot

379
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: of read like he could have a big day, but

380
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons to get away, for a

381
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be concerned. Last week was National

382
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: tied ind which we figured, hey man, all these big

383
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: time tight ends that we love are gonna bawl out,

384
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: and you and I have the same number of receiving

385
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: yards as Mark Andrews. He did have four more rushing

386
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: yards than the two of us. Four. That's all you

387
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: got from Mark Andrews last week. Does he bounce back

388
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: this week? Yes, he's He's Mark Andrews, and I want

389
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: to thank him because I played against Mark Andrews in

390
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: like three leagues. That was really cool. But besides that,

391
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: like yeah, like I mean, he's Mark Andrews. He's one

392
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: of two tight ends we say you could trust each

393
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: and every week he had a bad game. I don't

394
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: necessarily think it's really all on him. I think it's

395
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: the fact that Lamar has been struggling. The Ravens offense

396
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: as a whole just hasn't looked up the same. But

397
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: he's Mark Andrews. He'll bounce back, not worried about it

398
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: at all. They will find ways to get him the football.

399
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: They may force feed him the ball. Who knows, he

400
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: might even get a carried down near the goal line,

401
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: because the Ravens will do stuff like that every once

402
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: in a while. So, yes, it was disappointing. If you

403
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: got the zero point four points out of Mark Andrews.

404
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: But you're starting, you're starting. Who are you starting over

405
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and tell me giving him a carry? Do

406
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: the Kansas City shuffle pass so that Lamarca the fantasy

407
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: points to just start what Lonny Woods like, You're not

408
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: starting anybody with Mark Andrews, So you're fine. He's gonna

409
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: be okay. Shout out to the NFL Research team, which

410
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: dug up this nugget for us. DeAndre Hopkins had a

411
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: forty eight point three percent target share in his first

412
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: game back in Week seven, third highest in a game

413
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: by a wide receiver this season. He was the wide

414
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: receiver eight last year. Ten catches a buck oh three

415
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: against the Saints. They got the vikings this week. Does

416
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: de Andre Hopkins finishes a top five fantasy wide receiver?

417
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: He certainly ken. I'm not gonna project him to be

418
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: top five. I I like him more as like a

419
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: top ten guy. But with the usage that he saw,

420
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: it's not a matchup that I'm really very afraid of.

421
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: If he continues to see usage like this, almost fifty

422
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: percent target share, almost fifty percent air yard share, almost

423
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: fifty percent of his routes from the slot, He could

424
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: be top five in a week, he could be I

425
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: feel like this is also sort of unsustainable talking about

426
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: getting half of the targets and half of the air yards.

427
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to continue you to happen.

428
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: But it is also a reminder that every now and

429
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: then Kyler Murray gets tunnel vision. It's not even tunnel vision,

430
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: it's like straw vision, like he's looking through a straw

431
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: directly at DeAndre Hopkins, and so that is sort of

432
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: refreshing to see. But I do think you're gonna see

433
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: them spread the football around a little bit more so.

434
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: While it is certainly in the cards no pun intended

435
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: for DeAndre Hopkins to finish the top five wide receiver,

436
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen this week. Let's

437
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: get back to our game previews. We will go with

438
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Jaguars. Remember that game is in

439
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: London nine thirty am Eastern times, start that six thirty

440
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: out here on the West Coast, so you're probably better

441
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: off setting your lineups on Saturday nights. But anything else

442
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: that you want to point out about this game, yeah,

443
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: my my thinking with this one is the only Bronco

444
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: that many people might be considering starting this week is

445
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, and if I have other options that I

446
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with, I I would get away from Courtland

447
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Sutton this week. The Jags are are a decent matchup.

448
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: They're not great. They're not awful though, um but it's

449
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: just the fact that the last two games he's been

450
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: held in single digits. I know last week wasn't with

451
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, but the week before that, uh, Sutton had

452
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: his worst game of the year with russ. So it's

453
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: one of those things I wrote in the startom sit

454
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: him like. He's not a must sit option by any

455
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: stretch because of the volume that he sees. But if

456
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: you're in a shallower league, or if you have another

457
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver on your roster you feel comfortable with I,

458
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: I just would make that switch. He's not a must sit,

459
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: but he's also not a must start either. He's just

460
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of in between. So this is definitely a way

461
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: your options sort of situation. Panthers and the Falcons switch. Weirdly,

462
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: if the Panthers win this game and the Bucks lose

463
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, your first place team in the NFC

464
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: South will be the Carolina Panthers. I just want you

465
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: guys to sit with that for a second. The Carolina

466
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: Panthers could be in first place in the NFC South

467
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: by the end of the weekend. Last week, we went

468
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: into the week saying which Panthers running back do you want?

469
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: We're both kind of like neither in it turned out

470
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: to be like, oh both, So who would you rather

471
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: have this week? Who has the better game? Deontay Foreman

472
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: or Chuba Hubbard. I'm gonna go with Deontay Foreman because

473
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: one Chuba Hubbard is banged up and then to the

474
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: Falcons give up a lot of production on the ground.

475
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: They're not a team we know that's going to throw

476
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: the ball and jump out to a huge lead. So

477
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 1: as long as it's close, I think Foreman is the

478
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: one that will get to the opportunities between the twenties,

479
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: between the tackles. And he's the more explosive runner as well,

480
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: so I think he brings more upside. He definitely has

481
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: that touchdown upside for sure. I'm gonna be contrarian and

482
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: say Chuba Hubbard that, mind you, this is depending on

483
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: how how his injury is, how this shakes out this week,

484
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: but I still think he's the guy who's more likely

485
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: to catch the catch the football a little bit more. Now,

486
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: minds you, neither of these guys is going to make

487
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: you forget about Christian McCaffrey, especially in the passing game.

488
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: But I do think Hubbard is the guy who gets

489
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: some more looks there, and early on when that game

490
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: was still close, it was Hubbard getting a lot of

491
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: the work before he tweaked Disney. So I would say, obviously,

492
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: pending his health, this week, I'm gonna go I'm gonna

493
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: go Chuba Hubbard here. But you know, I think that

494
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: speaks to how confusing this is. If they have a

495
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: big game against the Falcons, I would trade him, Yeah, absolutely,

496
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: Like this is this is potentially a cell high for

497
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: one or both of these guys if they play well

498
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: against Atlanta. But I will also say, you can start

499
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: d J. Moore this week, and we haven't been able

500
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: to say that so far this year. It's it's weird

501
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: because it's a little sneak peek. He's gonna be in

502
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: my sleeper's column this week. I didn't think he'd be

503
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: in the sleeper's column because at the start of the

504
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: year we just figured he was gonna be a solid

505
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver two with wide receiver one upside. Then I

506
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: thought he wouldn't be in the sleeper's column because the

507
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Panther's offense was just so bad it was gonna be

508
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: a lost season for him. But last week he had

509
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: a season high in receptions, a season high in yards,

510
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: and a season high in fantasy points. Now this week

511
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: he's got a Falcon's defense that's been pretty bad against

512
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: the past so far in two Also, Christian McCaffrey is gone,

513
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is gone. There just aren't a whole lot

514
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: of other pass catching options there in Carolina, and looks

515
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: like p J. Walker may hold onto the star in

516
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: quarterback job. And he has definitely been more willing to

517
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: push the ball down field than what we've seen from

518
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield so far this season. So welcome back to

519
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: our lives, d J. Moore, It's nice to have you here.

520
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: Who would have thought their their fourth string quarterback coming

521
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: into the season with the one that was gonna save

522
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: the day? Man, we were all like, who's gonna win?

523
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: Because who's gonna be the better option? Between Baker Mayfield

524
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald p J. Walker. That's who Man Wild

525
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Bears at the Cowboys. The Bears coming off a huge

526
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: win in Foxborough against the New England Patriots with Justin

527
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: Fields playing maybe the best game I've seen from him

528
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: so far in his NFL career. Now they have a

529
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: much tougher defense to face in the Dallas Cowboys. What

530
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: do you do here? I think you're beware of David

531
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Montgomery And I took the cowards way out and wouldn't

532
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: be aware when I have him as a sin in

533
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: the start sitting article. Um, but yesterday on Fantasy Live,

534
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: I said that Khalil Herbert's ascension is a bad thing

535
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: for David Montgomery, and and Adam Rank was like, but

536
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: heat Montgomery still scored a touchdown and that that is

537
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: true and it salvaged his day. But if he didn't

538
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: get that lay touchdown, he was looking at scoring six

539
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, And like, that is a realistic floor now

540
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: for David Montgomery. Because Khalil Herbert had double digit carries himself.

541
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: He has been the back getting the targets, and Marcus

542
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: was saying earlier about how much more valuable they are

543
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: then carries. Plus you mentioned the Cowboys defense. They've allowed

544
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: these second fewest fantasy points running backs and just two

545
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns all years. So I think there's a lot working

546
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: against Montgomery this week. Also, I think what hurt David

547
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: Montgomery a lot was justin fields running the ball as

548
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: much as he did, and there were a lot of

549
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: designed runs for justin fields, and I think that took

550
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: a lot of food off Montgomery's played by the way

551
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: I had on TikTok by one you can follow me

552
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: at Marcus Grant. That's just a little shameless plug there.

553
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: I had him as my sit of the week last

554
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: week on TikTok and somebody jumped in my mentions afterwards

555
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: like this one. Don't do that. That's not fun. Also,

556
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: predicting the future is hard, and as Florio said, if

557
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: he doesn't score the touchdown, did I look like I

558
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: was right? Take that anyway. Dolphins at the Lions. The

559
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: Lions have not been nearly as fun the last couple

560
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: of weeks. They at blown out, then they had to buy,

561
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: then they didn't play well against the Cowboys last week.

562
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: Now they've got the Dolphins. But I still think Josh

563
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: Reynolds is a sleeper this week in that offense. I mean,

564
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on Ross st. Brown will see if

565
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: he plays. He says he didn't have a concussion. They

566
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: took him out as a precaution because he stumbled, and

567
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: maybe it's a back issue. I don't know. That seems

568
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: to be the the fallback injury when now guys have

569
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: a concussion, or maybe they don't. That's a whole different

570
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: conversation for a different time. But either way, d J.

571
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: Chark is still working his way back, hopefully every guy,

572
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: but he's getting healthy. But I still think there is

573
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Lions to get that passing game going

574
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: again this week. We haven't seen it the last couple

575
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: of games, and I think Josh Reynolds is going to

576
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: get plenty of opportunity here. Maybe we get back to

577
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: the Lion scoring more points again because we haven't seen

578
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: that in a while. And look, Jared Goff is pushing

579
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: the ball down field more than he did last year.

580
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: So I like Josh Reynolds as a sleeper this week

581
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Vikings. We talked about DeAndre Hopkins and

582
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: what he might be able to do, but anybody else

583
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: worth keeping an eye on. I think Er Smith Jr.

584
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: Is a sleeper, but nerv yeah, let him swerve and

585
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: shameless humble brag. I guess for both of us. Last

586
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: week we both like Juwan Johnson, uh largely because of

587
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: the match up against the Cardinals and he went out,

588
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns, had a huge game. I like him

589
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: this week as well. But IRV Smith Jr. Now gets

590
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who have allowed the second most fantasy points,

591
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: the most catches, the second most yards, and tied for

592
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: the most touchdowns to the tight end position. Like last week,

593
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: we were like Jawan Johnson. I know he's a deep name,

594
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: but it's a great matchup. That's the same thing with

595
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: IRV Smith Jr. You're streaming tight ends. Look who the

596
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing. It's it's a good chance that that

597
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: player is a good game. Death taxes and the Cardinals

598
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: getting carved up by opposing tight ends pretty much count

599
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: on those things every single year. NFL Plus is the

00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: and the Saints, which this game seems kind of interesting.

608
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's getting a whole lot of attention,

609
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: but something about this makes me think it's gonna be

610
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: kind of fun. Start Crystal Lave. You have to start

611
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: Crystal Lava. You don't have a choice but to start Chrisma.

612
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: If you have chrys Olivia, you must start Cristal Lava.

613
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: That's it. He's been the one guy that weekend and

614
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: week out you can count on in this Saints passing game,

615
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: and it hasn't mattered if it's been Jamis Winston or

616
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton or even Taysom Hill. Chris O Lava is

617
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: getting the football. He's getting it down field. He's an

618
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: air yards king, He's a reception is the targets king.

619
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: And the Raiders secondary still is full of holes. If

620
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 1: you're not starting Chris O Love, if he's on your

621
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: roster and you're not starting him, you're doing it wrong.

622
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say about that. Patriots and

623
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: the Jets, we talked about the Jets now adding James

624
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: Robinson to backfield, but you're still big on Michael Carter

625
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I think if you have Michael Carter,

626
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: either if you got him off of the waiver wire

627
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: or if you've just been stashing him, this is a

628
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: week where you could start him. Like in a league

629
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: where I have been stashing him, I'm just plugging him. Yes, Granted,

630
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm weak at running back in that league, so I'm

631
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: plugging him in and it's a big help for my lineup.

632
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: But even if you are fine at running back, if

633
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: you have a flex spot open or something like that,

634
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: because James Robinson one, like we said earlier, hasn't looked

635
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: like himself and too he is just getting acclimated into

636
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: this Jets offense. So I think Michael Carter will handle

637
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the passing work, hopefully the goal on work.

638
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: But I just think he's in play this week. It's

639
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: a flex option with a higher upside. If he gets

640
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: more of the running back work, He's gonna get more

641
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: of the running back work, and he's still gonna get

642
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: the targets. So I think that definitely helps his case there.

643
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: Steelers and the Eagles Battle of the Keystones stayed with

644
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles trying to stay undefeated after Thereby, I think

645
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: you gotta be aware of Deyance Johnson because you talk

646
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: about guys who've sort of been hanging out in fantasy

647
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: per a tory, the ceiling has not been very high

648
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: for Johnson this year. The floor has been fairly steady,

649
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: but it hasn't really been spectacular. He also, when it

650
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: comes to wide receivers, is near the bottom of the

651
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: league when it comes to yards per target. They're just

652
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: not getting him the ball downfield. They're still trying to

653
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: get it to him a lot. Although I will say

654
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: with Kenney Pickett at quarterback, we're starting to see more

655
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool integrated into the passing game as well. We

656
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: do like George Pickens is more of a chunk play player.

657
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: So Deante Johnson just has not had one of those

658
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: big time performances that we were used to seeing. And

659
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: for a guy that we sort of liked as again

660
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: a solid wide receiver too, he's been kind of a

661
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: mess so far this year, and against a good Eagles defense,

662
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: I you know, if you don't have to take the chance,

663
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: I would probably avoid taking the chance this week over

664
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: to the Titans and the Texans battle in the a

665
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: f C South, which I mean, you want to talk

666
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: about divisions that are just oatmeal, it's the a f

667
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: C South right now, Titans and Texans. Because the schedule

668
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: makers said, so what are we doing here? I think

669
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is in play as a start this week.

670
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: And this is a team that like a game where,

671
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: like you know, the running backs are in playing. Outside

672
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: of that, there's not a whole lot to get excited for.

673
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: And Brandon Cooks has been disappointing this year. He's only

674
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: cracked double digits twice. But despite that, I still think

675
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: he is in play. The Titans have allowed the third

676
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: most fantasy points two receivers this year. Um and and

677
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: that's both on this season and in the last month.

678
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: So like you can just throw all over this Titans defense,

679
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: they're up there and touchdowns allowed to receivers as well. Uh,

680
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: and cook sees enough volume, and we know he still

681
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: has enough big playability where in a favorable matchup getting

682
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: that sort of volume, he could still have a big day.

683
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: By the way, you were obviously gonna be starting Derrick

684
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: Henry if you have him. But I was reading this

685
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: in our research packet over my croissant and coffee this

686
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: morning that the Derrick Henry in his last three games

687
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: against Tennessee or against Texa Houston, I should say, has

688
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: gone for two hundred yards and multiple touchdowns. So you go,

689
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: and you're starting almost forty fantasy points per game, right,

690
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: you're starting their Henry anyway. But if you're going against

691
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, thoughts and prayers this week because it may

692
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: not work out for you. Commanders at the Colts, As

693
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned, it is the stellar, much anticipated matchup between Taylor,

694
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Heinrichy and Sam Ellinger. Uh what do you what are

695
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: you expecting for Jonathan Taylor? Though, now that we've got

696
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: Ellen Gar at quarterback, I'm worried about Jonathan Taylor because

697
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line has not been what it is supposed

698
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: to be, so he's not running as effectively on the ground.

699
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: The Colts also trailing a whole bunch they've been getting

700
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: away from the run when it's been saving him. Has

701
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of those dump offs, and I don't

702
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get nearly even as half as many

703
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: with with the quarterback change. So I still think he's

704
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: an RB one, But like I don't know if he's

705
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: a top five running back right now. I don't know

706
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: if he's a top five running back, but I will

707
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: say that I think volume may rule the day for

708
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: him this week, just because obviously with Matt Ryan things

709
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: were terrible. That's why he got benched and Ellener in

710
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: a black box, and you know the they, I think

711
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: would like to sort of bring him along slowly and

712
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: and help him out as much as possible. And so

713
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: I think for Frank Wright that means let's go back

714
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: to the run. It's what worked for us in years past.

715
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: The passing game didn't work out for us this year.

716
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: So maybe we just see Taylor, even behind a shaky

717
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, get a bunch of carries, and maybe that's

718
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: sort of what helps. I will also say you can

719
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: stream the Colts defense in this one, because Taylor Heineke,

720
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: we sort of know who he is. He will take

721
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: a shot to downfield. He'll also throw the ball to

722
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: the wrong colored jersey on occasion, and I think that

723
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: more than anything, is going to help out. Throwing the

724
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: fact that the Washington offensive line has been miserable. Carson

725
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: Wentz when he was the starter with sack twenty three times,

726
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: nobody to that point had been sacked more than him.

727
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: The offensive line didn't get any better just because Taylor

728
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: Heineke is at quarterback. So if you're looking for a

729
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: streaming defense, the Colts could be a real good option

730
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: for you. This week, it's time for Who's Gonna Eat,

Speaker 1: presented by Uber Eats. Managing a fantasy team and hitting

732

733
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: with uber Eats. Today, let's talk about this forty Niners

734
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: Rams matchup happening right next door it's so Fi Stadium.

735
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: Who do you think is gonna ball out in this one?

736
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm starting Christian McCaffrey and I'm doing so with confidence.

737
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: And I know some people might have concerns after last

738
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: week where he played less than thirty and the Snaps

739
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: had eight carries and two targets. But I'm like, the

740
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: guy had eight carries and two targets and was averaging

741
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: at for stretch, averaging ten yards to touch fresh off

742
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: of a plane on a new team. Like now, he's

743
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: got a week where he actually can learn the playbook more,

744
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get to practice. Plus the other team going

745
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: after Christian McCaffrey was the Los Angeles Rams. If you

746
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: think that Kyle Shanahan in the Niners don't want to

747
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 1: pour some salt into that wound, I think you were

748
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: a mistaken So I think McCaffrey is gonna look much

749
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: more like McCaffrey. And then, real quick, I think the

750
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Niners defense is very much so and play they're healthy again,

751
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: and no team has been allowed more fantasy points to

752
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: defenses than the Rams. Yeah, I'm curious to see if

753
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: the Rams were able to fix some of their issues

754
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: in the bye week, but I feel like they had

755
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: so many I don't think they could quite address all

756
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: of them. By the way, the McCaffrey played the Rams

757
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when he was with the Panthers.

758
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: He really had over a hundred yards in that game too,

759
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: So now he gets a second crack at them, and

760
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: uh and about a month actually, I think actually three weeks.

761
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it is between the last time they played

762
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: each other. That was Who's Gonna Eat presented by Uber Eats,

Speaker 1: the schedule makers put this together, this looked like a

768
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: Marquee matchup right. You had Aaron Rodgers and the Packers

769
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: on one side. You had Josh Allen and the Bills

770
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: on the other side. To this point, the Bills have

771
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: lived up to their end of the bargain. The Packers

772
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: very much have not. It's been a mess offensively. Aaron

773
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers trying little mind games now to see if he

774
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: can motivate his team. I don't think it's gonna work

775
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: this time, Pal, Do you trust starting Aaron Jones? Please

776
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: take off? Can you take off your red and blue

777
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: glasses for a minute? Do you trust starting Aaron Jones?

778
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is the only Packer I think I would

779
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: start with much confidence this week because I still think.

780
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I know he's been kind of boom er buss, but

781
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: the upside is so high that he can drop thirty

782
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: on any giving game and even if they're trailing. UH.

783
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Typically outside of the weird weeks where they decided to

784
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball to a J. Dillon a bunch, he

785
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: is their go to guy in the passing games. So

786
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Joneses didn't play every week. I think

787
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: he is, and I think we saw last week they

788
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: started to throw him the football a little bit more.

789
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: It did not help them win, unfortunately for them. I

790
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: also think we've seen A J. Dillon sort of demoted

791
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: within the the offense because he's not getting as many snaps,

792
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: as many touches. So I'm with you, Aaron Jones probably

793
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: the only startable packer. And when I say only startable packer,

794
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean the only startable packer because I think you

795
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: sit Aaron Rodgers this week. I don't think you can

796
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: play him. He has not given you. I think he's

797
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: had two fifty passing yards in a game yet this year.

798
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: He's not had seventeen Fantasy points in a game yet

799
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: this year. And now he's got to deal with one

800
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: of the toughest, maybe the toughest defense in the league

801
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo Bills. They're gonna get after him at

802
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: the pass rush. He's just he's not accurate. He's not

803
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: accurate with the deep ball like we've seen in the past.

804
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: He can't get anything going with his receivers. It's been

805
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: a complete mess. He's the QB fifteen right now, which

806
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: means there are probably better options. There may be better

807
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: streaming options on the waiver wire than Aaron Rodgers in

808
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo against the Bills. I think you can absolutely sit

809
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: him this week. I gets us to Monday Night football,

810
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Browns. I said earlier in the show,

811
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: I like Joe Mixon to have a big week, But

812
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: anybody else you think can take a big boom this week? Yeah,

813
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: I think Joe Burrow has earned must start status each week.

814
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Like last week he threw for four hundred and eighty

815
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: one yards and three touchdowns, like that is such a

816
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: high ceiling. The week before it was three hundred and three,

817
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: and four of his last five games he's thrown for

818
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: over two hundred and seventy five yards and multiple passing touchdowns.

819
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Like it could be a game where Mixon has a

820
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: huge game and Burrow doesn't have to throw a lot,

821
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: But because he has Chasing Higgins, he could still get

822
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: to three hundred and multiple touchdowns on like thirty past

823
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: attempts because those guys are such dangerous field stretchers. So

824
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, I think you just kind of start everyone.

825
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: I think you pretty much start everyone too, So I'm

826
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: with you on Joe Burrow. It's nice they're they're throwing

827
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: the deep ball again. They weren't doing that early in

828
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: the season, and now it seems to have come back.

829
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: Even Tyler Boyd is getting in on the front. Welcome

830
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: back Tyler Boyd. He's still a good player. I know

831
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: we don't talk about him a lot, but he's still

832
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: a good football player. And we were reminded of that

833
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: last week. Also something to be reminded of. There are

834
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: two teams on to by, the Kansas City Chiefs and

835
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. So that means you're gonna be

836
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: missing a couple of key quarterbacks with my Homes and Herbert,

837
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna be missing Austin Ekeler, You're gonna be missing

838
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. That's just a handful of the names that

839
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: are not available to you this week, plus a lot

840
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: of guys injured. You know, Breece Hall is out for

841
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: the year, Michael Thomas, who knows when he's going to

842
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: come back at this point. We'll see what's up with

843
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: aut Monross st Brown. So you got some decisions to make.

844
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna help you out with some of our streaming options,

845
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: and my first one at quarterback is Derek Carr going

846
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: up against the New Orleans Saints. And early in the

847
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: year it looked like the Saints defense might be sort

848
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: of formidable, but lately they have been getting gash. Now,

849
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe some of that has to do with Marshawn Lattimore

850
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: being banged up, and we'll see if Lottimore is available

851
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: this week, but some of it is just teams seem

852
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: to have figured something out against this Saints defense, and

853
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: to this point there Car has been. You know, he's

854
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: been kind of Derek car right where he gives you

855
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: a decent fantasy number, but he's not really super spectacular.

856
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Last week they didn't need him at all because Josh

857
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: Jacobs did so much of the heavy lifting. But I

858
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: think this is a week where we see Derek Carr

859
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: throw the football, spread it around, Davante Adams, mac Hollands,

860
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe Hunter Rent for a little bit, but I think

861
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: he's worth a streaming option any other streamers out there

862
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: at QB. Yeah, I have Derek Carr as they start

863
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: in my start sit article this week, and I also

864
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: have Danny Dimes as a start. Daniel Jones is a quarterback.

865
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: I think he just want on your roster right now.

866
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: But I think he's very much so in play this week.

867
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't think enough people realize he's a top ten

868
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: quarterback on the year, and it's largely because he's running more.

869
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: He has one game this year with less than twenty

870
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: rushing yards, and three of his last four he's been

871
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: over thirty five. That's three free that's equivalent to seventy

872
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: five passing yards. And then last week he had a

873
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards and a touchdown. Like he's just doing

874
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot more with his legs that I like. His

875
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: receivers are getting healthy and starting to step up. And

876
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: then the Seahawks like they're they're fair. I know they've

877
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: been playing better as of late, but they are still

878
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup. So Daniel Jones someone I like for

879
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: this week and and moving forward well. And a couple

880
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Seahawks gave up a hundred rushing yards

881
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: to Kyler Murray. Daniel Jones had a hundred rushing yards

882
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: last week, So that Konami code definitely in effect. Tight

883
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: end streamers, I'm going with Mike Gisicky, Yeah, Gisicky, And

884
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: I know this is a guy that we were sort

885
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: of fading before the season started because he was saying

886
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: things like I'm learning how to play tight end, which

887
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: is not what you want to hear out of starting

888
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: tight end. But it seems like they're letting him run

889
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: more routes and he's having success, had a couple of

890
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns recently, and he's got a good matchup into the lines.

891
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: Because we're picking on the Lions pretty much any which

892
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: way we can. We love the two was back. It

893
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: helps that passing game in Mike Kasicky and play as

894
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: a streamer. You touched on your streamer earlier in the show.

895
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: Who is it? Jawan Johnson, someone that we both liked.

896
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: Last week he had a huge game on TNF with

897
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns. He caught all five of his targets,

898
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: but even the week prior to that, he was targeted

899
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: six times. Uh. He's been playing over seventy of the

900
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: snaps in each of those two games, so more workload,

901
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: more consistent volume going his way. Then you mentioned the

902
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: fact that the Saint the Saints receivers remained very banged up,

903
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: and then it's just a good matchup. The Raiders have

904
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most fantasy points to tight ends, which

905
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: includes six touchdowns, tied for the league most with the Cardinals,

906
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: who he just scored two against last week. So I

907
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of reasons again deeper name, but

908
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to stream Jawan Johnson is very

909
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: much like Jawan Johnson again this week, if you're looking

910
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: for a defensive streamer, it's the Jacksonville Jaguars that are

911
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: taking on. Uh who are the Jaguar playing this week?

912
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: They're playing the Broncos. That's right, it's over in London,

913
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: and for wherever you got there in London, because they

914
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: make a yearly trip to London where they are called

915
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguas. Anyway, the point being, I liked them against

916
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, I would have liked them against Brett Rippon.

917
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: I think it sort of says something that when the

918
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: Broncos were gonna go from Wilson to Rippon, originally our

919
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: friends out in the desert didn't really think that change

920
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game a whole heck of a lot.

921
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: So I think that says a lot about where the

922
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Broncos offense is right now. I think they can get sacks,

923
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: they can force turnovers, and if you're looking for a

924
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: streaming defense. I like them. This week some big Thanksgiving news,

925
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: The Jonas Brothers tweeted out they'll be playing the Red

926
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: Kettle Kickoff halftime show for the Giants Cowboys Thanksgiving game

927
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: on November again, kicks off at three pm Central times.

928
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: To be sure to watch Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas live.

929
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: You know why you're getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner and everything,

930
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: you can check out the Jonas Brothers there. All right,

931
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about some trade targets. Guys you want to

932
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: trade four guys you want to trade away as you're

933
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: trying to help build your roster either do compete or

934
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: get ready for the postseason. So who's somebody the folks

935
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: can trade for? I think Jonathan Taylor is a player

936
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: that you should be targeting. And yes, you're gonna have

937
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: to still give up a premium player to get him,

938
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: but it's not like you're gonna have to give up

939
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: a player like the one oh one to get him.

940
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people right now are

941
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: frustrated with Jonathan Taylor. This past week was his first

942
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: game over fifteen Fantasy points over thirteen Fantasy points since

943
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: Week one he's missed time due to injury. He's currently

944
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: the RB thirty two in total points this year. And

945
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: if you drafted him with the first overall pick, yeah,

946
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: he's been disappointing you. You probably want to consider trading

947
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: him right now. But if you didn't, you know, draft him,

948
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: and you just acquire him for a discount, you're a

949
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: lot less invested. Uh Like, it's just easier to to

950
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: win with the downgraded Johnathan Taylor when you're not using

951
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: the first overall pick on him. I still think he

952
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: sees in a volume each week where he's someone that

953
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: you very much still want on your roster. Yeah. I

954
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 1: do think people are frustrated, so maybe you can pry

955
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: him away from a manager who has just had enough.

956
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: I think you trade for have as E t N

957
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: as well. And this I thought this before even the

958
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: trade of James Robinson, but now even more so. And

959
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: I think the reason you may be able to get

960
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: away without paying a premium is because while he's getting

961
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of volume, getting a lot of opportunity, he

962
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: still hasn't had one of those huge blow up games, right.

963
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a game like we've seen with Kenneth Walker.

964
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: Or Breeze Hall, you know, one of those Josh Jacob's

965
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: dirty point games. But he's getting all of the same

966
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of usage as some of those top level backs,

967
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: and so if that continues, that big game is coming.

968
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: But maybe you're able to trade for him from a

969
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: manager who doesn't necessarily know how much the Jaguars are

970
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: using him in his offense. They're just seeing that. Yeah,

971
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: I find he's giving me sixteen seventeen points a game. Sure,

972
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: that's nice. So maybe you can get a guy who's

973
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: set to blow up without having to pay a premium

974
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: for it. And then, you know, a couple of weeks

975
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: from now, you look down the road and say, hey, man,

976
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: this was a really great deal for me player to

977
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: trade away. Who are we sending off to someone else? Now?

978
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna sound like a hater, but I

979
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: think Ezekiel Els still a player you should be looking

980
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: to get off of your roster. Yes, he's had his

981
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: two best games in a row, which is exactly why

982
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: now is the time to trade him with With his

983
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: two best games right now are fifteen point six and

984
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: seven teen points seven fantasy points. There was a period

985
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: of time where that was considered a down week for

986
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. Those are also his two best games because

987
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: he has three touchdowns in the last two games combined.

988
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: His high in a game without a touchdown this year

989
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: is ten Fantasy points. That is who Ezekiel Elliott is.

990
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: He's a low floor running back now that is touchdown dependent.

991
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: If he doesn't score a touchdown, you're probably looking at

992
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: single digits. And what also concerns me is last week

993
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: we saw Tony Pollard play more snaps than Zeke. If

994
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: that is a trend that continues, I think it's only

995
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna hurt Zeke. I would sell now while while his

996
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: value was still high. More bad news to Mike McCarthy

997
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: saying that Zeke has a knee sprain. I'd probably leave

998
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: that part out of your trade negotiations if you're really

999
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: trying to try. I don't know how he's still finished

1000
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: that game last week. That knee injury looked brutal, and

1001
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: he just he was out there here, still out there.

1002
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean credits him because part of part of his appeal,

1003
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: part of his success has been his durability. But yeah,

1004
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: that was he's got wolverine blood. He does have wolverine blood.

1005
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: I say, you also got to try to trade away

1006
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: c H and I felt like this has sort of

1007
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: been coming for a while. Obviously, the news that as

1008
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: a Pacheco was going to be the starter definitely accelerated.

1009
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: I think your desire to kind of move on from

1010
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: Edwards Hlayer. But I think the thing when you're talking

1011
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: to another manager is that he still has touchdown upside.

1012
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: They're still using him near the goal line, and he

1013
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: did have a touchdown last week, although he only had

1014
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: thirty two total yards, which really didn't give him a

1015
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of production. But it's kind of salvage the

1016
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: day a little bit. This is going to continue to

1017
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: be a muddled backfield, right Pacheco is going to be

1018
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: the starter. Jack McKinnon is still gonna get opportunity. I

1019
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: don't think you want that headache. But because Edwards Hilaire

1020
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: does get those touchdown looks, it still gives him a

1021
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: little bit of value. But I think at this point

1022
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do with the Chiefs backfield.

1023
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: It's just too much of a mess. And we all have,

1024
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, the shortest attention spends ever now, so like

1025
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: after their bye week, a lot people might forget for straighting.

1026
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: It's been with running back many Look, it's he's a chief.

1027
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: They swore a lot of points. You want him in

1028
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: your please? How about how do we swap ch for

1029
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: Traves cy Tn. Let's make that happen. Let's get to

1030
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: some of our top sleepers four Week eight, Florio, start

1031
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: us off. Who you got as yours? I like Wandell

1032
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: Robinson a good amount this week, and I was talking

1033
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: up Daniel Jones earlier, and Wandall Robinson is starting to

1034
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: take over and look like his top target. He's a

1035
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: player that I know myself and others likes coming into

1036
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: the year, but then was hurt in week one. We

1037
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: didn't see him again until week six. He had four

1038
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: targets in that game called a touchdown, and it was

1039
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: a sign of things to come. Last week eight targets,

1040
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: he was clearly Daniel Jones go to guy, especially because

1041
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: uh Wanda got a little banged up in the middle

1042
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: of the game and he had a bunch of volume

1043
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: already up until that point. So I think he is

1044
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: the top target, especially now with like Balinger out like

1045
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: the Giants there, there's close yards. Targets are just dropping

1046
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: like flies, so Slayton is the field stretcher Wandela is

1047
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a bunch of volume underneath. Definitely like him.

1048
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: I also like Chew, but Hubbard talked about him a

1049
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the show. I think he's the

1050
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: guy who catches more passes. I thought it was notable

1051
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: that he was the guy who kind of got the

1052
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: first crack at it was getting a lot of work

1053
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: when that game was close. I don't expect the Falcons

1054
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: or the Panthers to really run out and hide in

1055
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: this game, So I think as long as Chew but

1056
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: Hubbard is healthy, I think he has some sleeper potential there.

1057
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: There's a void in Jacksonville now that James Robinson has gone.

1058
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: You like the guy who's potentially gonna fill that void?

1059
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: Huh Yeah. I think Ja Michael Hasty is a sleeper

1060
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: more so someone that I just wanted my roster right now.

1061
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: Travis C. Tien Is is the lead guy and everything,

1062
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: but if anything happens, Hasty is the next man up.

1063
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: And we saw a couple of weeks ago we had

1064
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: that long breakout run. He was a sleeper a couple

1065
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: of years ago. So I think there's just a little

1066
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: bit of potential there. All right, I'm gonna go to

1067
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: the other side of that game and give you Litavious Murray,

1068
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: who we've seen get some opportunities since he was joining

1069
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: the roster. Throwing the fact that Mike Boone is injured

1070
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: Gonna missed a few weeks here, I think that makes

1071
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,280
