17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the NFL. Jason Smith

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: here alongside our Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: h Train Elliot Harrison. Remember you can always submit your

Speaker 1: fantasy questions get the latest and greatest fantasy news by

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: following us at NFL Fantasy Time. Now for some headlines

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: of the week and Josh Freeman. There could be another

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: change at quarterback. The Vikings announced on Wednesday. He suffered

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: a concussion against the Giants Monday night. Christian Ponder taking

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: most of the first team reps and practice on Wednesday.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: So moving forward, you're playing Adrian Peterson no matter who

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: plays quarterback for the Vikings. But if it move a

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: change to Christian Ponder Elliott, does this make you want

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: to play Greg Jennings anymore? You know what, I have

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: him in our experts league. I have him in our

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: AAMI league. Greg Jennings I'm talking about And the only

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: big game that he's had was in London with Matt

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: cast So I thought about dropping him off my roster altogether.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Part fans, what about Kyle Rudolph? You want to talk

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: off Mr inconsistency. One week good, one week bad. The

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: matchup is good though this week against the Green Bay Packers.

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: He's a low end tight end, one with or without

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Christian Ponder. A change in Cleveland, Brown said coach Rob

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Chanzynski said, Vetter in, Jason Campbell's gonna start for the

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Browns this week and against the Chiefs. You remember Jason

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Campbell from his one for four or four yard performance

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Week two. Elliott, Jason Campbell going forward? What are you

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: making him as a quarterback? Well, the book on Jason

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: Campbell has always been that he doesn't take the downfield throws.

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: He's got a little bit of a captain check down reputation. Look,

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: he's going up against the Kansas City Chiefs. They're giving

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: up the fewest points per game in the NFL. This

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: isn't a good matchup. You're not gonna play him. It's

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: gonna hurt. There are other players I never thought i'd

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: say this. I missed Brian Hoyer. I really do. Yeah, Fabs.

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: You'll have more on Jordan Cameron coming up later on

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: in the show. But Percy Harving back at practice Seattle

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: has up to three weeks before they have to put

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: him on the active roster. He's made it through his

55
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: last few workouts. You see him video right here. He's

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: looked very good right now. He's just happy to be

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: back at practice. That's something great right now. I haven't

58
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: had any setbacks. I'm running pretty good, cutting pretty good.

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing all the things that I was doing previously.

60
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: So it's just um getting the ground, getting the practices in, UM,

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: getting back in the meetings and all those things, and

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go bing. Is it as simple,

63
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: FABS as taking Percy Harvard and putting him in your

64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: it up when he plays for Seattle. It's gonna be

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: tempting because you have so many teams on a by

66
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: this week, But if you have depth at wide receiver,

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I'd probably sit him down because I think there's some

68
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: risk here. Is he gonna be limited? Is this going

69
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: to be a situation where he plays maybe snaps and

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: that's it. That's a little risky for me. I agree

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: with that. I will just say this. Seattle wide receivers

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: as a unit have average ten catches per game. That's

73
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the entire group. So Percy Harvin certainly has value down

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: the back half of the skin. And it's a Monday

75
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: night too, which makes it even tougher. Yeah, you gotta

76
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: have a plan in place where they're Sydney rights for

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: somebody else on Monday night if you want to play him,

78
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: all right, Ravens Bears, Texans, Colts, Chargers, and Titans all

79
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: on a by this week. Let's take a look now

80
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: at the top ten players. A lot of tea that

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: are off and this is a lot of firepower Rivers,

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Luck four, Tank, Arian Foster, Brandon Marshall, Alshon, Jeffrey Tory, Smith,

83
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Danny Woodhead. So chances are you're looking to replace somebody.

84
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: If you're looking to replace Philip Rivers, like I'm in

85
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: our experts league this week against Elliott, I'm going with

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: a guy Michael Fabiano says, is the guy to pick

87
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: up Ben Roff. The Yeah Roethlisberger boy. He hasn't been

88
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: good this year, but when he plays the Raiders, he

89
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: turns into Superman. Two hundred and seventy five plus passing

90
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: yards in each of his last four games against the Raiders,

91
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: eight total touchdowns, no picks in his last two meetings

92
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: against the Silver and Black, and the Steelers have scored

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: thirty one or more Fantasy thirty one or more points

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: in two straight meetings against the Silver and Black, pretty

95
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: good numbers. You are staying in the state of Pennsylvania

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: for your spot start of the week. Yeah, I'm going

97
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Michael Vick and I'm glad that you're playing in the

98
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: Experts League. My mash, you and the team. You should

99
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: squash us by about thirty. But then they're almost starting

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. He's going up against the Giants and you

101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: could say, well, the Giants had great numbers last week. Yeah,

102
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: they played Josh Freeman and the Vikings didn't know what

103
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: the heck they were doing out there. Michael Vick has

104
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: been getting a lot of bang for the buck. I'm

105
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: talking about yards per tempt this year, and he can

106
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: run out of the pocket and he can't play any

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: worse than Nick Foles and Matt Barkley did last week.

108
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: I like Michael Vick. The Giants defense is still the

109
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Giants defense. They haven't been good all year. James. Yeah,

110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: without Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham I think comes in. He's

111
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: the next wor To bed Santasy quarter beat. All right,

112
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: how about to the running back spots now in fabs

113
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: and you didn't get the goal line carry we thought,

114
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: but still it was nice for Joseph Randall have a

115
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: game list. Now. We're assuming that Decrco Murray is gonna

116
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: miss this week's game. Obviously, if Murray comes back, things

117
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: change completely. But this is a good matchup for Randal

118
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: against the Lions. They have not been good in terms

119
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: of stopping the run this season, and Rayal had over

120
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: twenty touches last week. And Jerry Jones was really impressed

121
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: with this rookie. So if you need a flex starter

122
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: or even a number two running back because of so

123
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: many team's offer so many injuries, Rail is worth a

124
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: look again, assuming Mury is Elliott. No one's wanted to

125
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: embrace fred Jackson, but yet he's the most dependable guy

126
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: that Bills have. He's overdoubled it. It's just about every week. Yeah,

127
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the people right now who are on

128
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: the fence. I know a lot of you have started

129
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson. A lot of you, as you said, are

130
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: a little bit timid about it. Don't mean this guy

131
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy And

132
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: if you want to go reality, they don't have to

133
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: take Fred Jackson off the field. He knows how to block,

134
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: he knows how to catch, he knows how to run.

135
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: That's why c J. Spiller at seven total yards because

136
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the Bills feel more comfortable with Fred Jackson on the

137
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: field all the time, and Spiller is never going to

138
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: get a goal line carry is not even. But they

139
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: put they put five guys out there, and Spiller is

140
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: not one of them. So we're going way down. We'll

141
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: have more on Spiller later on in the show. I'm

142
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: sure wide receiver wise fabs a guy you picked up

143
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: on our Expert League this week, Harry Douglas. Yeah, and

144
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to trade him for you. This is one

145
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: of those plays where the matchup isn't good. The Cardinals

146
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: past events has been pretty good. They met up on

147
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers, but Harry Douglas is seeing targets. The matchup

148
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: wasn't particularly good last week against the Roar Rebas and

149
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: you had a Will Harnt yards in the touchdown. Douglas

150
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: needs to be owned in all leagues, and this week

151
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: you can start him. My team is like one and six.

152
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: How did you get Harry Douglass over me on waivers?

153
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: Because you actually have to put in acclaim for a player, Eliot,

154
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Now let's stick with all Randall Television here we talked

155
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: about Joseph Randall. Elliott, you like Ruben Randall. You know

156
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Ruben Randall is played pretty well. I like the matchup.

157
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: That's the big thing here against the Eagles secondary, who

158
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: did okay against Dallas, but Dallas didn't really have to

159
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: air it out because they got a big lead. So

160
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: you have to look at the games in the box scores.

161
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: Reuben Randall versus the Eagle secondary, it's still a mismatch.

162
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: I like him as a spot starting. Again. We're talking

163
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: about guys with a bunch of teams on a buy.

164
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: We're not saying in a full week that Ruben Randalls

165
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: necessarily a must start. I'd rather have Ruben Randall than

166
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: the Keem Nicks right now, and Keem Nicks has been awful.

167
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Lenny Randall than you would. I will

168
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: you sure, very good, n Randall. We're just gonna keep

169
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: doing that. I think we're out of Randalls now from more. Now,

170
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: let's throw it over to Molly Carroll and Marcus Grant.

171
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: You guys, good stuff, Thank you. I am here with

172
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Fantasy editor, my boy, Marcus Grant, and

173
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: it's that time of the week where we look at

174
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: the top ten player ads for a week gate who

175
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: has been hot right now? And we start with Jordans

176
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: read here from Connecticut Marcus, and he's at Washington's tight

177
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: end and he's had great chemistry this past month with

178
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: r G three. He absolutely has. In fact, he's made

179
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Fred Davis expendable there in Washington. He's a guy who's

180
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: seeing more and more targets each week. Has receiving yards

181
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: have increased in three straight games. And look, the Broncos

182
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: have been very vulnerable against tight ends. They have been.

183
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: I had sixty six targets at the tight ends against them.

184
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: That's the most international football league. So Jordan Reid maybe

185
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: not a bona fide number one side in but he's

186
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: pretty closed Marcus. The Colts had a big win Sunday night,

187
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: but with that some unfortunate news Reggie Wayne on the

188
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: i R with that knee injury, So Darius Heyward Bay

189
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: should get more targets at this point behind him. I

190
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: am high on him. I mean he was starting to

191
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: see more targets even with Reggie Wayne on the field. Obviously,

192
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: with the injury, that opens up a slot in that offense.

193
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton probably becomes the top target for Andrew Luck.

194
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: But Darius Heyward Bay, d HB. I know a lot

195
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: of people stashed them hoping for an opportunity. This is

196
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the opportunity that made that everybody was waiting for. Hey,

197
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: they pick her up. All right, you know, I'm a

198
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: positive girl. But this is the side of the list

199
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to be on. The most drop players

200
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com. Who are people kicking to the curb?

201
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: And right now it's Cleveland running back Willis mcgahey being dropped.

202
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really a past first offense and he

203
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been a factor. He has not been a factor,

204
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: and so many changes. Now you have Jason Campbell who's

205
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: coming in to start at quarterback. This offense is like

206
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: a bad boy band direction, just the absolutely and so

207
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: Willis mcgahey, I think is going to see a lot

208
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: of defense is stacked against him until the Browns proved

209
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: that they can win through the air. It's just a

210
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: bad matchup going forward. And it's time maybe to say

211
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: goodbye to Willis mcgahey and moving on to Arizona. Andre

212
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: Ellington was the sexy pick a few weeks ago, but

213
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to get that full time job away

214
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: from a shard Menne Hall. No, he was not, and

215
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities to Willis mcgahey. Here a guy

216
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: that looked to be on the up and up, but

217
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: things have gone badly for the Cardinals offense. And Carson

218
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Palmer another guy who was struggled and until he proves

219
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: he can beat teams with his arm, and teams defenses

220
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: are gonna stack the box. Seven eight guys in the box,

221
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and it's bad news for Ellington and that running game. Yeah,

222
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: a bit of a fantasy flash in the pan. We're

223
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: giving it away awards on this show. And I just

224
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: want to say, back in high school, we had superlatives

225
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: for best dressed. You get today's best dress. My men.

226
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: I am loving the purple. I appreciate your rhythm. Nation

227
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Bracelet's there too. You really to give you the compliment?

228
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: All right, thank you? Thank you. Still to come on

229
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: out of l Fantasy Live, the Fantasy Guru Michael Fabi

230
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: gives us all his starts and sits for WEEKA. I

231
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: send sarcasm there. It's time to make your playoff. Push

232
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy fans will pay attention, and later on Washington Redskins

233
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: running back Alfred Morris drops by to talk about the

234
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: skin sudden high octane offense. Hill Fantasy lives back in

235
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: a few. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Molly Caram

236
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: joined by Michael Fabriano and Elliott Harrison. Hello, there, guys,

237
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: how about a little tan f preview. I'm excited about

238
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: sound good? Okay, We've got the Panthers taking on the

239
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: rival Books on Thursday Night football, So let's have a

240
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: look at your fantasy projections in Let's start with Carolina. Yeah. Well, Carolina,

241
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: clearly I like better than Tampa Bay in this game.

242
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: And I like Cam Newton to get a rushing touchdown

243
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Molly in this football game. I think he's not going

244
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: to be afraid to take off, and remember the Bucks

245
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: secondary is pretty good. If he's got to hold the ball,

246
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: guess what, He's not gonna stay in the pocket forever.

247
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna tuck in and run. That's why I like

248
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: him to get to Andrew luck As touchdown like the

249
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: one we saw against Sobroncos the other night. Cam Newton

250
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: has been playing out ending lately. Michael Newton last two weeks,

251
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no picks, passer rating north of one forty

252
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: and with six teams on a bide. This kid is

253
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: a must start this absolutely. He looked great against the

254
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: Rams past Sunday, Fabs' Angel Williams has been the guy,

255
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: especially with note Jonathan Stewart. How do you like him

256
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: against this Bucks? I think he's an RV two or

257
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: a flex starter this week. He's had a lot of

258
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: success against the Buccaneers. You know, he hasn't scored a

259
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: touchdown and all this season, but that could change Thursday

260
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: night against the Bucks. Williams has scored eight rushing touchdowns

261
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: in his last nine games against Tampa Bay. Again, you're

262
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: in a week where six teams are off, you're gonna

263
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: start the Angela Williams. That's it's just about to say.

264
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: And again, these two teams are division opponents. They know

265
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: each other. Well, that could be an explanation why D'Angelo

266
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: Williams has done well. Let's go to the wide receiver

267
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: position and if you pay attention to headline. Steve Smith

268
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: very fired up this week. We heard him getting into

269
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: it with Genoros Jenkins. Will we see that aggression on

270
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the gridiron. I don't like the numbers here from Steve Smith.

271
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: He has struggled against the Buccaneers. The veteran has eight

272
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: plush yards just once in his last eight games against

273
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, and he also has failed to score a

274
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: touchdown in each of his last five meetings against the Buccaneers.

275
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: So you're probably starting Steve Smith as a third wide receiver.

276
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: But I'm tempering my expectations based on his past. Yeah, fads,

277
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: now we're talking off camera. He's not on pace for

278
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: eight hundred yards. He doesn't have a play at twenty

279
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: five yards this year. He can certainly talk some trash though. Alright, guys,

280
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: let's look at the other side of things, what are

281
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: your projections for the Bucks? Well? Negative, none of that

282
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: great outside of really, I mean you look at Mike

283
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: Glennon there, Molly eight points. I know it's horrible, but

284
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: the bottom line is he's averaging five point five yards

285
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: per ten. I know that's not a fantasy stat, but

286
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: that's horrible. Good quarterback averages seven or eight. And here's

287
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: the other thing, what Doug Martin hurt. There's not gonna

288
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: be any threat of a running game. So now it's

289
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna be so much harder for him. Here's my question

290
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: with Mike Glennon. Though you know he got our atom

291
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: rank a couple of wins, is he a good backup

292
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: because that's a sneaky good defense there. The Panthers are

293
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: third overall all in the league. Right the Panthers have

294
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: actually allowed the second fewest fantasy courts to quarterbacks on

295
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the road, allowing right around eleven. I think you can

296
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: do better than Mike Glennon this week. It's just not

297
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: a good matchup, all right. And you mentioned Doug Martin there,

298
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Elliott fabs he's done for the season. Mike James a

299
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: hot waiver pickup. You think he's gonna be hot on

300
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night? Yeah, Martin out in definitely right now. And uh,

301
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's going to be picked up

302
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, Mike James. And again, you

303
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: have such a thin position, especially on the waiver wire,

304
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: that you probably have to use Mike James as a flex.

305
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: This isn't a terrible matchup. It's not overly favorable either. Clearly,

306
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm being a not a negative Nancy. But what do

307
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: you call it, Harrison parents Exactly, I'm right there in

308
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: the middle. I'd start him as a flex and temper

309
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: my expectation, Well, let me deserve this too. Right now,

310
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: we're Vincent Jackson numbers. But Carolina Panthers defense second and

311
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: points allowed only the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. But that

312
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: doesn't mean Vincent Jackson's gonna have a bet. They're very good.

313
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: And let's talk more about Vincent Jackson. Here's his numbers

314
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: with Glennan as a starter versus Josh Freeman under center

315
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: this season, and obviously, you guys can see he's the

316
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: beneficiary of Glenned. It's it's way better and more favorable

317
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: for him from a fantasy perspective as well. You bet,

318
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: but you see that little drop line down there at

319
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: the bottom, twelve point eight targets per game. He'd have

320
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: the most targets in the league, Michael, if they didn't

321
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: have a bye week already. The funny thing about Vincent

322
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Jackson's he's catching less than of the balls that are

323
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: throwing his way, but he's getting thrown to so much

324
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. When you're a rookie quarterback, you

325
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: know where your bread is buttered, and in Tampa Bay,

326
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: that bread is buttered with Vincent Jackson. Now this isn't

327
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: a particularly good matchup, but Jackson has been the highest

328
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: scoring wide receiver in fantasy football over the last couple

329
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: of weeks. Four touchdowns. You start him. He's become matchup proofs.

330
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's becoming that guy. And that's hard

331
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: to say about Vincent Jackson. We had Greg S on

332
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: NFL a M this morning. He's very confident about this

333
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: one really quick. Guys, do you think there's any chance

334
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks get their first win? I'm going to Carolina,

335
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: going to Carolina? Also, all right, not too confident. They're

336
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: great stuff from you, guys. And just a reminder, make

347
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Jason Smith here alongside Fantasy Hall of

348
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Famer Michael Fabiana, who is still desperately trying to get

349
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey from me into trade. In our Experts League

350
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: now FABS, every Wednesday, you reveal all your big starts

351
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: and sits for the week. So let's start with your

352
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and maybe we'll mention Eddie Lacy along the way.

353
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: How does that sound? I think we will all right.

354
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Here's Michael Fabiano's recommendations start and sit quarterbacks this week.

355
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Stafford r G three. Colin Kaepernick, who has been up

356
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and down on this list. Sleeper alert Ben Roethlisberger against Oakland.

357
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger has been terrific in his career against the Raiders.

358
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: But fats Matthew Stafford on this list, maybe for the

359
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: last time. Matthew Stafford has been fantastic. Right, It's gonna

360
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: be too obvious very soon that you need to start

361
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, but he is a must start this week

362
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys. The Coboys have allowed the third

363
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and Matthew Stafford

364
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: has been one of the best draft bargains in fantasy leagues.

365
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: To me, He's gonna end up as a top five

366
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy quarterback, and he is a guy you have to

367
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: have in your lineup in Week eight. And Russell Wilson

368
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: has been someone who's been better lately than he was

369
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. You have him as a sit

370
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: this week. You know, people may see that matchup and think, wow,

371
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's got to be a great start this week.

372
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: But last year he didn't put up good numbers against

373
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the Rams. And you know how I like to look

374
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: at these trend Smith, You know I love the big

375
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: trend guy in even numbered weeks. Okay, Russell Wilson has

376
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: scored an average afewer than thirteen Fantasy points per game.

377
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: And what week are we in. We were in an

378
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: odd number of week, we're in an even even number.

379
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Another reason that I don't like Russell Wilson is in St.

380
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Louis quarterbacks are scoring an average a fewer than what

381
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: thirteen fantasy points per game. So don't think Russell Wilson

382
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: is a lock start, all right. Now, let's go to

383
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: the running backs. Now, FA as it starts and sits,

384
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: there's Eddie Lacy on that or my guy along with

385
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and Stephen Ridley, And beware of Maurice Jones

386
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: drew against the forty Niners fabs Eddie Lacy coming off

387
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: to actually three pretty big weeks in a row. Yeah, listen,

388
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: I love Eddie Lacey and Smith. You will trade him

389
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: before the end of the day. To me, the matchup

390
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: is fantastic. The Vikings have allowed the most fantasy points

391
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: of running backs this season. If you need proof, did

392
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: you watch Monday night when Peyton Hillis got off the

393
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: couch and rushed for fourteen fantasy points against this team.

394
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Lazy to me, is a must start this week.

395
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: I said it. The rookie is a must start. So now,

396
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones drew, you had buyer beware. Obviously we're all

397
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: in the big bye week blues now with six teams

398
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: on a by and some injuries, this is not a

399
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: straight sit for Maurice Jones drew. If you don't have

400
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: backfield depth, then you have to play it. Unfortunately, he

401
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: was likely your second or third round pick. But this

402
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: is a bad matchup. The Niners allowing the ninth fewest

403
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: fantasy points to running backs over the last four weeks.

404
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: And listen, that Jaguars offense is just playing bad and

405
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: he's not getting enough work to put the numbers that

406
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: we expect of Maurice Jones Drew. So if you have

407
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: that depth in your in your backfield, m j D

408
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to your bench and this will be again where they

409
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: throw the football a ton locker. At least last week

410
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: was over three yards. So you think that's the strategy

411
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: they'll try to employ this week against San Francisco. All right,

412
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: let's get some wide receivers now, fads his recommendation for

413
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: the past catchers. Larry Fitzgerald is on a start list.

414
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I think this is probably the best fantasy news for

415
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: him all season. Fats being on your start. Really good

416
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: matchup against Atlanta, and we've got six teams on a bye.

417
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: Start Larry Fitzgerald and start Eric Decker. Right, Remember after

418
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: week one, everyone is creaking out, all man, it's gonna

419
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: be Welker, It's gonna be the Marrious time is now

420
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Julia time. We're not going to be able to see

421
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: any production from Eric Decker. Guess what, Payton Manning has

422
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: been so good this year that everybody's putting up fantasy points.

423
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: He's catching the football from him, including Eric Decker. This

424
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: is a great matchup the Redskins have allowed the seventh

425
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Eric Decker

426
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: has a team high sixty three targets. Jason, you know

427
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: all about that from your Targets and Touches column. Eric

428
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: Decker has become a must start. He hasn't been that

429
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: one year wonder that a lot of people were worried

430
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: he would be right. Unfortunately for me in my league

431
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: of record, Mike Wallace is a must start because of

432
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: the VIZ. But you have him as a sit here,

433
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: which it doesn't have fill me with a lot of

434
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: fuzzy expectations. Mike Wallace has been a disappointment. We expected this.

435
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: The Patriots are allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points of

436
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers on their home field, and the Patriots have

437
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: also allowed no receiving touchdowns in their last two games

438
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. It's not good for Mike Wallace

439
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: go to the tight ends now. This is becoming increasingly

440
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: difficult week after week. But Kyle Rudolph back on this

441
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: list and again depending on how things go with the

442
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterbacks. With Christian Ponder taking first team reps in

443
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, he could be a nice start. Sleep

444
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: alert Jordan reed he may not be asleeper for much longer.

445
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: But fat Tony Gonzalez. Been a lot of talk about

446
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: him in the last couple of weeks. Is he gonna

447
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: be traded? Is he all in? You like him this week? Well,

448
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: we liked him last week, remember because Julio Jones was out,

449
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: Roddy White was out and he didn't do anything. But

450
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: don't be worried about Gonzalez. This is a great matchup.

451
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: He won't have a better matchup all season long. The

452
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have given up the most fantasy points to

453
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: tight ends this season. Matt Ryan will look to Ganzo

454
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: this week and Gonzalez will get in the end zone.

455
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Start Tony Gonzalez. Didn't think we'd say this when we

456
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: were about week four, week five. We're at the point

457
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: now where you can sit Jordan Cameron. Well, again, this

458
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: is a caveat Okay, He's probably gonna be starting in

459
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: most leagues. He's been fantastic. We said to sit start him.

460
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: Last week. He scored a touchdown. He was great. But

461
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have not allowed of touchdown to tight ends

462
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: this year. They've allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight

463
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: ends this year. They've allowed the fewest receiving yards to

464
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. You know, by the way, Jason

465
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: Campbell is now the quarterback. So if you have another

466
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: really good option, because Kimeron, remember was drafted late and

467
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: most leagues are not drafted at all, start your other alternative,

468
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: like a twenty dollars or maybe even a Rob Gronkowski

469
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: who you could have with Cameron. But if you do

470
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: have Kimber, he's your only guy, then you have to

471
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: play him. The matchup is not good though. All Right,

472
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: there you go. There's your big start sets recommendations for

473
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: week eight for war. Now let's throw it over to

474
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison, who's joined by Redskins start running back Alfred Morrissey.

475
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Jason. Now the Washington Redskins coming off

476
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: a big home win versus the Chicago Bears, got their

477
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: second one of the season, and they're hanging in there

478
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC East race, and we have stud tailback

479
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. Does he want to say tailback anymore? I

480
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: don't know. We have running back. Alfred Morris joined us

481
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: on the show. Alfred, You've been on the show so

482
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: many times and if I'm not mistaken, the last time

483
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: you came on our show, I think he went for

484
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: about one seventy and three touchdowns. So can we expect

485
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: that kind of performance against the Broncos. I'm not sure.

486
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: I mean it would be tough. I mean offecially the

487
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: type of defense that you have the number one right

488
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: now rush defense, and last last week we were able

489
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: to put over two yards on the ground, and uh,

490
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: we definitely have a challenge because you know, have I

491
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: work cut out for us this week agoing against the Broncos. Well,

492
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: before I brag about your opponent, I want to brag

493
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: about you. You've averaged over five yards per carry the

494
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: last two weeks. What's been different? H? Nothing? I mean,

495
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: you just gotta make the most of what you get. Uh,

496
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: I don't think I have My carries are where they

497
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: were last year. So I mean I just do my

498
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: best to making most of what I get. Each play

499
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: can be my last play, and I give it my

500
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: all each and every time, and just it just happened

501
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: to be a highly average this year. Well, I'm glad

502
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned carries because I've been watching you guys games

503
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: and it seems to me r G. Three, and you

504
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: guys are running a little bit more read option because

505
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: he had eighteen carries the first four games and he's

506
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: had twenty carries the last two. Am I not seeing

507
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: it right? Are you guys doing a little bit more

508
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: of that? I would say we're doing a little more.

509
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: We just we're able to run the offense. We're doing

510
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: better on third downs. Uh, We're able to stay on

511
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: the field. A lot of times we have to throw

512
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: the ball because we get behind on the score on

513
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: the scoreboards, so we have to throw. You can't keep running,

514
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: so we got to change offense. With the last couple

515
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: of weeks, we've been doing a lot better. Um on

516
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: third does a lot better standing and feel a lot better.

517
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 1: So we can't open up our playbook and run our

518
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: play So it just seems as if we are running

519
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: a little more. What's pretty universal that people feel that

520
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: r G three looks a lot better. Even in the

521
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: loss to the Cowboys. They are a little bit of

522
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: a bouncing his step. What's that do for you in

523
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: the running game? I definitely opens it up. They have

524
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: to respect him. Uh. I feel like the Chicago Bears

525
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: last week, they definitely were They felt like if they

526
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: took away the dive guy, which is me that they

527
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: would beat us on that, but Robert was able to

528
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: make him pay. He got a couple of big runs

529
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: in the last week, so it worked out good. So

530
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: they have to respect him now. They think, because you know,

531
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: he's slowed down by his knee, that he won't be

532
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: as effective as he was last year. But he's getting

533
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: more and more effective, you getting more and more comfortable

534
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: on his leg, and he's he defensive. Have to respect him.

535
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: So it just takes a couple more hours off me

536
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: and we're kind of getting back into the rhythm that

537
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: we had last year. Well, we're a fantasy show, so

538
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: no Sean Marino gets more played than defenses due on

539
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: our show. But that said, you already mentioned that the

540
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: Broncos number one rushdie fence in the league, and it's

541
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: not an anomaly. They're allowing three point to nine yards

542
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: per carry. That's nothing. What have you seen on tape.

543
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: We haven't watched much tape yet. We just installed. We

544
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: we we know our normal routine that we do. We

545
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: watch tape after practice and then we go on from here. Uh,

546
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, we have to let it up load and

547
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: everything first so I haven't watched much of defense much

548
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: on the defense this yet, but after the day we

549
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: definitely get more than enough. Well, last question before we

550
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: let you go. Jordan Reid blew up last week. A

551
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: lot of people are like Jordan Who What can you

552
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: tell us about Jordan read Ah, He's a great guy,

553
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: great route running. I mean it's like a mismatch him

554
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: versus a linebacker isn't fair. You know. He even with

555
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks, they just they can't cover him. I mean,

556
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: he gets open, he makes plays, he has great hands. Well,

557
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: we appreciate you being on. Keep rocking the beard. Hopefully

558
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: the executives here at the network we'll let me do

559
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the same. Thanks for coming on. I have a problem.

560
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Okay, it's still to come on

561
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. The Fantasy Doctor makes a house called Words.

562
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: Orthopedic surgeon Dr Neio Godadra joins us to give his

563
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: diagnosis of some of the biggest injuries this season, and

564
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: there were a lot in Week seven. This is NFL

565
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, al right. It is time now for Engineer

566
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: to Win, Presented by Volkswagen. Molly Caram here with Elliot

567
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: Harrison and Marcus grant. What is the leaning ready, I'm

568
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: not sure it's going on right? Ready? Okay? Good? You

569
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: know I th this segment because I get to put

570
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: you guys on the hot seat. We're putting one thirty

571
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: on the clock, and we're gonna let it rip or

572
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: get ripped. As our producer hype them likes to say,

573
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: fantasy genius questions submitted by you the fans. Gentleman, getting

574
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: your position, I'm ready. All right, let's do this first

575
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: one here, better start Week eight? Stephen Ridley or Alfred Morris.

576
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: We're going to the backfield with Stephen Ridley, just because

577
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: you're sure he's going to get the bulk of the carries,

578
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: which you know, I know it's kind of been questionable

579
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: about Alfred Morris. Shanahangans were back in a big way. Well,

580
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: I worry about that. I worry about Denver's number one

581
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: run defense. But Alfred Morris averaging five yards for the

582
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: last two weeks, the Redskins are gonna go through him

583
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: to slow down Peyton Manning's possessions. Alfred Morris, all right,

584
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: we'll even split their better start Week eight. Our quarterbacks here,

585
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton or Tom Brady. I'll go with Tom Brady.

586
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: I just don't like Andy Dalton against the Jets. I

587
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: think Brady starts to bounce back, especially with Gronk back

588
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: in the line. Absolutely what you said, Jets defense is better.

589
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: Give me Tom Brady. Not so sure about that, but

590
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm not the expert. Better flex week, Chris Ivory or

591
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: Mike James. I want no part of Mike James on

592
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: Thursday Night. I know Chris Ivory's going against the Bengals.

593
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: They've been pretty good, but Mike James on a Thursday

594
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: Night do not want Yeah, I'll take James ingram Ogra,

595
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: Mike James, Jimmy, Chris Ivory, absolutely all right. Better start

596
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: week a Jew Bernard or the ruth lean back Levian

597
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: Bell against the Oakland Raiders. I think the Steelers are

598
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: leaning on him. He's an impressive back. I absolutely agree

599
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: with that. If the Raiders defense has been better this year,

600
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: but not better enough to stop Levian Bell thirty seconds left.

601
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: No pressure here, We'll stay with a week A better start.

602
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Colston or the jag Justin black I'll take Jessin Blackman.

603
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: He's been stron Colston has just been too up and down.

604
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: I've always been a pre wanny, but he's two up

605
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: and down. The Bill's defense a little better and new

606
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: think Mark, Yeah, they were a little bit better than

607
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: I think. But I think Marcus Colston is going to

608
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: bounce out this week, bounce back this week. I know

609
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: he's been frustrating for fantasy owners, but I like a

610
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: little frustrating. All right, last one here. This is crazy

611
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: to me that this is actually a question we're We're

612
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: here with Larry Fitzgerald. Better start him or Reuben Randall.

613
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: I'll take Larry Fitzgerald. I don't trust the Falcon secondary.

614
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: Reuben Randall. You don't know if the Keem Nicks is

615
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: going to get the ball or Victor Cruz. See, I

616
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: think I think Ruda has past Nicks is the number

617
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: two receiver in that offense. I like Randall this week. Alright,

618
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: good stuff, guys. We had to power through that wrong.

619
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm glad you're in a relaxed position here. Okay,

620
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: that was engineered to win, presented by Volkswagen for more. Now,

621
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: let's throw it over to Jason Smith and Michael Fabiana,

622
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: who are joined by a special guest. Thanks you, joined

623
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: now by our favorite doctor Sports authopedic surgeon Dr Neil

624
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Gooddre DCTR. Thanks for stopping by, Hey, thanks for having me. Guys.

625
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: I had a funny feeling after Sunday night. We're gonna

626
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: need you with all the maybe mental to lepanthy, but

627
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: I had a feeling Dr Neil is gonna be on

628
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: this way. You're that guy leaving all those weird phone calls. Uh,

629
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: that's right, all the one about Doug Martin. CEP. He's

630
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: a creepy dude. Well, let's get to Doug Martin for

631
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: a second here, creepiness out of it out indefinitely. With

632
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: the initial reports of torn labor was he was going

633
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: to be done for the season, but Greg Schiano says,

634
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: hang on a second, he's out in definitely. What's the

635
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: time frame? Well, with Doug, given that he's a running back,

636
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: you're looking at probably four to six weeks. And the

637
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: reason he does not need surgery at this time is,

638
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: again he's a running back. The beauty of the labor

639
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: is that it's important for throwers, people that put up

640
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: their hands in this position, quarterbacks, for running backs, he

641
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: doesn't need to do that. So if I show you

642
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: this model of a shoulder, this is the arm, right,

643
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: this is the arm. You're so good man, so good,

644
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to The key is a shoulder is

645
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: like a golf ball sitting on a golf tee. I

646
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't either, golf ball sitting on a golf tee. Now,

647
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: how the body compensates with the fact that that ball

648
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: won't fall off the tea is it puts a rubber

649
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: band around it. Okay, so it thickens it up, kind

650
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: of like your hair. So the key is is that

651
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the labor when it's torn, makes it very easy for

652
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: that ball to slip and move. So if you look

653
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: at his shoulder and I take out the golf ball

654
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: and you look right into the golf t you can

655
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: see that the body makes this huge rubber band that

656
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: goes around it. That's what he's torn. The key for

657
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: running back again, though, is that he can just rehab,

658
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: get his strength back, get the pain down, and go

659
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: out and play. Maybe it's tough catching a few balls

660
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: early on, but four weeks for running back he should be.

661
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: But don't be surprised that at the end of the

662
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: season he has to go and get surgery to fix it.

663
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: And that's a six month recovery, but he can still

664
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: finish off the season. All right, Febs, knowing this, do

665
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: you hold on too Doug Martin? Do you try to

666
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: pick him back up? What do you do? I have

667
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: Doug Martin in two leagues. I'm not dropping him. Uh.

668
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: These guys come back a little bit earlier than we've

669
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: seen in the past from these injuries. I know you

670
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: dropped him in the Experts league. I will be putting

671
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: in a waiver claim for Doug Martin. I'll hold onto

672
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: him because the running back position is so shallow right now,

673
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about starting guys like Mike James on our

674
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. I'd sit on him unless you're not in

675
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: a position where your roster is big enough where you

676
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: can just kind of have that dead spot for a

677
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: few weeks. I keep him, all right. Let's get of

678
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: j Cutler now out four weeks with his groin injury.

679
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: And you think it's very similar to what's plaguing Danny

680
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: Amendola right now. Right if you watch him in his video,

681
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: you can see that he clutches that is growing and

682
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: in the reports so that he tore his growing muscle.

683
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: When you hear that, it's pretty similar to what we

684
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: heard for Danny Amondola. Now, the importance of the growing

685
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: muscle again, if you look at little fabs here, that's

686
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: little fabs. Don't confuse. So the growing muscle goes from

687
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: your pubic bone down onto your leg and what makes

688
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: it very important and what it functions at is to

689
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: bring your legs in. So for a guy like Amndola

690
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: who's running around making cuts, that's a big deal. For

691
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback that doesn't run a lot, I'll Cutler probably

692
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: not as big a deal. So if you look at him,

693
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, given the fact that he has a growing tear.

694
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: And again we talked about this last time, when there's

695
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a tear of the muscle, it's actually okay because there's

696
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: other muscles that will take over for it. You just

697
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: have to give it time to rest, get pain relief,

698
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: and get his motion back. So for him, you're looking

699
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: at close to four weeks now, you will see he'll

700
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: have trouble with deep balls because to plant and twist

701
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: on it and throw it's gonna hurt him for the

702
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: first few weeks. So don't expect very many deep passes

703
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: from him, all right, So Cutler, someone hold on to him.

704
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: Or wait and go back and get him and I

705
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: I let him go. Uh, the quarterback position is really

706
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: deep at this point. So unless you're in a deeper

707
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: league your start two quarterbacks, then you kind of have

708
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: to keep them. But in standard leagues where you're ten

709
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: teams twelve teams, I would really let them go. I

710
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: think there's options on the waiver while they're gonna have

711
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: to utilize, especially when you have these buy weeks coming

712
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: in and we have six teams off this week. Games.

713
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: All right, how about hamstrings? Everybody's recovering from a hamstring

714
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: for one time. We're not talking about Miles Austin. Arian

715
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: Foster on to buy this week. The team says hopefully

716
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: he's on track to play again a week from now.

717
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Faster said it wasn't that bad when he got hurt

718
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: a week ago. What's the reality of the rest of

719
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: the season for Arian Foster. It's tough. You know, these

720
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: hamstrings are recurring topics because of recurring injuries. So if

721
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: you look at the backside a little Jason, which obviously

722
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: all our viewers want to see, the hamstrings go from

723
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: the issue bone down all the way to the knee,

724
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: so it covers two joints, and that's really really important

725
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: for these athletes. Hip joint, knee joint. What does it

726
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: do well, It stops you from going way to forward

727
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: like this and bringing your leg up. Okay, it's very

728
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: important for bringing your hip back as well. So that's

729
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: important for runners, jumpers, sprinters, very very important. For a

730
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver, that's a big deal. Running back, that's a

731
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: big deal. Now the question is is why is it recurring?

732
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: Why do we keep having these issues? Well, guys are

733
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: coming back too quickly. When you come back too quickly,

734
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: you're not giving it a chance to rest. And if

735
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: you look at the hamstrings, the muscle that counteracts it

736
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: is your quater stems. Well, guess what what do all

737
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: the guys work on when they're working out. Everyone wants

738
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: a big quads, quast a huge quad. I don't want

739
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: to see it. So but if you look at if

740
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: you look at Jason's big quads and compared to fabs

741
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: little hamstrings, there's a big difference there and the problem

742
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: is that puts more stress on it. So when these

743
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: guys are making these big movements and sprints and cuts,

744
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. And that's why you see recurring injuries.

745
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: All right, So with Foster, you're putting them back in

746
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: your lineup, but expecting that this could happen again at

747
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: some point later on this season. How about Michael Vick,

748
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: he's a running quarterback. Oh, this is going to affect

749
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: his effectiveness. I don't know if he's gonna be running

750
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: quit quarterback for a while. You know. Again, same thing

751
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: with the hamstring. He's coming back a little early. He

752
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: even said it. He said that he doesn't feel hamstrings

753
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: are notorious for coming back throughout the year. And all

754
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: it takes his one movement, one cut and stop, one

755
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: start and stop, and he'll he'll be injured. So if

756
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: you for him, I look for him to throw more

757
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and run less and you'll see that.

758
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: And as he feels better with the hamstrings, and you'll

759
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: know it when he starts running more out of the pocket.

760
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Facts is he's still a good start. Knowing that he's

761
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: gonna be limited running the football, well, I mean, that's

762
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna hurt his value. There's no doubt about that, because

763
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: part of Michael Vick's value is the fact that he

764
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: can run the football. But the good news is he's

765
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: playing the Giants this week, and the Giants past defense

766
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: has been just awful. So Michael victim me based on

767
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: the matchup, even though doctor saying he's gonna be a

768
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: little bit limited with that hamstring in terms of running

769
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: the football, is still a good start. They shut down

770
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Josh Freeman though, fans, quite an accomplishment. Dr appreciated, thanks

771

Speaker 1: for stopping by. Thank you guys. All right, coming up next,

782
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: now let's take a look at our mid season Comeback

783
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: Player of the Year award. Here are the nominees. Antonio Gates.

784
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: Gates the Shawn McCoy hundred eleven fantasy points and Matthew

785
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: Stafford hundred forty fantasy points second most overall. Alright, fabs,

786
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: why should Matthew Stafford win this award? I think you

787
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: just mentioned it second most. Listen. He has been so

788
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: good this year, outside of one game that he had

789
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: that was bad against the In Bay Packers. And Stafford

790
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who, remember two years ago, had five

791
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: thousand yards over forty touchdowns. Last season is touchdowns declined,

792
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: so people were worried about him. This year, he's been

793
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: one of the best draft bargains in fantasy football. Yeah,

794
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: I like it when you say listen first two because

795
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't listen unless you tell him and listen. And

796
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: I agree with you completely. You know what he didn't

797
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: point out, though, what's that nobody's point out that they

798
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: missed Nate Burlison. You know he's hurt. He didn't even

799
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: better with Nate Burleson. I think he's having a heck

800
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: of a year. Marcus, make your case for Lashawn McCoy. Well,

801
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy had to be thrilled when Chip Kelly got

802
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: hired as the Eagles head coach. He's gonna be part

803
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: of a run first running back based offense that has

804
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: shown the fourth most Fantasy points about running backs this season,

805
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: a team high one hundred and sixty two touches on offense.

806
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: The next Eagle has thirty nine. I mean, just light

807
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: years ahead. He has been a volume running back this year,

808
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: and it has shown, and he has been the better

809
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: fort and fantasy owners have been the better for it. Right, Elliott,

810
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: make the case for Antonio Gates. He was dead and

811
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: buried by a lot of people. You bet far band

812
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: from me to disagree with my esteem. Colleagues here, Stafford

813
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: and McCoy outstanding. Antonio Gates, though caught forty nine balls

814
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: last year, Fellas, this year he's got forty two. He's

815
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: only forty one yards behind his entire total from last season.

816
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Bay And when Philip Rivers is launching balls like World

817
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: B Free out there and connecting, I'll tell you what

818
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean. Both guys technically could be comeback player of

819
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: the year. I love the way Antonio Gates is planning.

820
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: He's an older vet. It's impressive. I have a fantasy

821
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: basketball draft tonight. Should I draft World B Free? You

822
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: can blame that statue of seven days. I said at

823
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: some point that you gotta get World be Free in

824
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: the show, just for a goof, and he did it

825
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Here is our voting. You

826
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: guys voted on Facebook. The winner of Fantasy Mid Season

827
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: Comeback Player of the Year award is right, I think fans, guy, listen,

828
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: I think I got it right. Indiator Matthew Stafford, I'm

829
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: multi fatis finished. But but Lashawn McCoy is the comebackiest player.

830
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had to come back care Is that right? Look,

831
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: it's it's that easy because Stafford, you drafted him so

832
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: low and he's been so good. That's really the big

833
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: Probably drafted another quarterback before you drafted Matthew Stafford, which

834
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: makes him even more valuable. Yeah, and you look at

835
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: some of the defenses he's played. He's played Arizona, he's

836
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: played Cincinnati, he's played Cleveland. Those are good defenses that

837
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: he has played pretty well against. And again, Nate Burlison's injury,

838
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most underrated injuries in

839
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: football this year because they're not getting anything Fellows out

840
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: of Ryan broyles Well. I think a big part of it, too,

841
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: is one of the things that hurt Matthew Stafford last

842
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: year was all the times Calvin Johnson didn't get into

843
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. He's getting the means on a little

844
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: bit more this year, and that's help Stafford's numbers quite

845
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: a bit. That's the crazy part for guys. Second overall

846
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: in fantasy points, you're only playing one of his pass catchers. Really,

847
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: and that said Calvin Johnson, and nobody likes mega try

848
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: and get five touchdowns last year only five all year

849
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: and tackled inside the five like six times. And this year,

850
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: you're right, he's getting in all right. Now, let's move

851
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: on to the next award. It is the biggest mid

852
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: season fantasy busts, a list that nobody wants to be on.

853
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: But yet here we are. Should we still clad? Here

854
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: we Colin cat Well, if you didn't Colin Kaepernick kicking class.

855
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick sending to you the mong fantasy How many

856
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: yards and c J. Spiller had last week? Total? I

857
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: saw your tweet seven? It's amazing. C J. Spiller thirty

858
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: five on running backs this season. I'm not clasping because

859
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: I own him in three leagues. Trent richardson fifty fantasy

860
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: points twenty six among running backs. We thought he was

861
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna take over with that trade. But let's start with

862
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller. FABS. Why should he win this award

863
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: is if we don't know You know, if I saw Morose,

864
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: is because I do have c. J. Spiller on one

865
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: of my nine fantasy leagues. He's thirty five in fantasy

866
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: points right now. I'm in running backsty five, fewer than

867
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: thirteen fantasy points in every game this season, and this

868
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: ankle injury is not doing him any favors. His coach,

869
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: Doug Brohan said, he's not well. If I were Doug

870
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: Morrow and I'd put him on the bench and use

871
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson and let's Spiller get back, of course, but

872
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: that's me being selfish because Spiller is single handedly killing

873
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: my fantasy team. How about Colin Kaepernick, markus Well. Colin

874
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: Kaepernick has struggled throwing the football less than two hundred

875
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: and sixty passing yards in six straight games. But the

876
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: biggest thing he's not running the football, just one rushing

877
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: touchdown so far in this season. That was part of

878
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: the reason a lot of fantasy owners went out and

879
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: drafting him, hoping to make him a number one quarterback. Yes,

880
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: he didn't have a lot of targets. Losing Michael Crabtree hurt,

881
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: but you expected him to pick that up and run

882
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: the football and really make up those yards. It hasn't happened.

883
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: The nine turnovers really hasn't helped as well. This year

884
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Colin kaeperneckause has not been what you want him to be,

885
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: although hopefully the last couple of weeks maybe he's turning

886
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: a corner there. Yeah, I agree with you, guys. Marcus

887
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: kaepernet Gotten is not getting his own reads C J.

888
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: Spiller with Daniel Thomas on The Mediocre Express. But Trent

889
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: Richardson is not giving you anything since the trade, and

890
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe you're seeing why the Browns were happy to deal

891
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: this guy for a first round pick. Look, he doesn't

892
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: have the elusiveness of a Barry Sanders. He's not gonna

893
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: bowl you over, as you see right there. Like Marshawn Lynch.

894
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: This guy is just a guy. He's a very good guy.

895
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: But that's all he is. He's not Marshawn Lynch, and

896
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: he's showing that. Now you know why the Browns delta. Alright,

897
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the winner right here, You guys,

898
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: voted on Facebook. The winner for Comeback, not for comeback,

899
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: but for Fantasy Bust of the Year is midseason award

900
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: for Bust and Blues and Buffalo. C J. Spiller is

901
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: your surprise surprise. You know, listen, this is one of

902
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: those situations where he probably singlehandedly has cost your team

903
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: a shot at winning your division. When your first round

904
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: pick does what c J. Spiller has done, and that's nothing,

905
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: you have a hard time coming back from that unless

906
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: you've been really active on the way to wire. I

907
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: have a hard time believing this is gonna get better

908
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: for him because Fred Jackson is always going to get

909
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: the goal line barries and c J. Spiller is simply

910
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna share the load. We were hoodwinked by Nathaniel Hackets

911
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:46,439

Speaker 1: Falter and Woodhead on a by Lacy's my number one

923
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: running back, from my number two running back. This is

924
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: where you're at? Do why you see j Spiller or

925
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: pick up Peyton hillis facts? My goodness? I mean, is

926
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: this really a question? How about this? If Brandon Jacobs

927
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: is an active start Peyton hillis he scored more fantasy

928
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: points last week? And Spiller said, oh year, it seems yeah,

929
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: and he catches the ball? How about that? I can't

930
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: believe we're talking about Peyton Hills compared to Stiller, a

931
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: first round pick. All right, here's another one. Who should

932
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: I start? Ruben Randall or Genarius more Elliott? Who do

933
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: you like? I like Gruben Randall, Denarius more So hit

934
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: or miss for me. They're playing the Steelers this week,

935
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: and I liked prior to actually take off and run

936
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: a lot because Pittsburgh doesn't have his speed on defense.

937
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to catch him. Meanwhile, Ruben

938
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: Randall fabs you already mentioned it. You think he's outperforming

939
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: a Key Nicks. In fact, Marcus, you did to see

940
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: one one that hasn't hated on a Keem Nick yet

941
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: as you, Jason, you want to take the opportunity. I'm

942
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: not starting a cheam. Fab's actually trying to throw in

943
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: a deal every day we make and I'll give you

944
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: back a chem Nicks like I'm giving you a million dollars.

945
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: You know that's like trying to make you know what

946
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: he's got some upside? All right? Is running back Zach

947
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: Stacy a good flex start against Seattle or LaFell? Marcus,

948
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: what do you think I'm going with Brandon LaFell? You know,

949
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: I know that Zach Stacy has kind of taken over

950
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: as the number one running back there, but again Seattle, No,

951
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: not a chance when Brandon LaFell has really stepped up

952
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: for the Panthers. Agree. Now, if you think you've had

953
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: a band with all the injuries that have happened so

954
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 1: far this season, take a look at this guy's team.

955
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: He has all nine of the following injured players on

956
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: the squad. This is a guy that plays on NFL

957
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: dot Com. Michael Vick who's in and out of the lineup,

958
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: Martin could be done for the year. David Wilson can't

959
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: stay healthy. On my Branchhaw has done, so is Julio Jones,

960
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: Randall Pod might not be back to Reggie Wayne is done,

961
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: and then Dola can't stay healthy and you got yourew.

962
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: Michael Finley may not play again. The guy's name is

963
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: g men of his team. I'm not making it up there.

964
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: One in six the worst football season ever, right for

965
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: a single person. Any advice for this guy, don't give

966
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,360
