1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, presented by DraftKings. It's me your man, MG,

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, masking and socially distancing, win and where necessary.

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: And we are in two week five officially, which means

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: a quarter of the season is done. For the NFL

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: regular season is done. I know it's different for the

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: fantasy regular season. I'm not trying to do that math

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: right now, so just go with it. So in the meantime,

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: we're going to have sort of a quarter pole analysis.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Adam Raak will join us as he always does on

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. He'll also have his starts and since we'll

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: have a couple of wire taps for you as well,

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: the guys you picked up off the waiver wire who

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: maybe is it a good idea or not a good

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: idea to start him? Will dive into that and plenty more.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: But first, as we always do, we'll talk to our

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire and Murphy, I

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: don't I don't have any football questions to ask. I

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: just want to know how you felt about the Yankees

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: pitching nanigans against the Raise the other night. Yeah, I

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: mean that was you know, Aaron Bune try to keep

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: it secret. Uh pulled Garcia after like he had like

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: j half warming up after like three pitches. Um, it

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: was a bad plan. But I will say I hate

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: to be that guy that blames the umpires, but the

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Inks are the best team in the MLB that they

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: don't chase balls. And then when you have an umpire

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: is calling you know ball strikes, you're gonna have guys

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: swinging now. And that just changed at least with three

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: at Badge to come to mind. That changed the outcome

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: of the game. But you know what, they left guys

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: in uh in scoring position. They struck out way too much.

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a bad loss, but

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I feel good with Tanaka with an extra day of rest,

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: so it's still very positive. Yeah, still very much in

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: This series is gonna be interesting to watch. I know

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: this is a fantasy football show, but baseball still going on.

38
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: So it's exciting to talk about because this, yeah, exactly,

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: we can do both, So definitely watching that keeping an

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: eye on all these baseball series, but also keeping an

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: eye on what's going on in the NFL, and to

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: help me do that on a Wednesday, as he always does.

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: It is the one and only Adam Rank. How are

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: we feeling four weeks almost, I guess five weeks at

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: this point into the season. How are we feeling about

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: our fantasy teams? Well, first of all, I feel great

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know, but but by the way,

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I gotta be fully on it. I'm an Angels fan,

49
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: so obviously I'm not paying attention to baseball right now.

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: But I love the audacity of the Yankee fan being like,

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: we're so used to nobody ever calling a strike on

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: us that they're making us swing the bat at anything

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: that's not directly down the middle. Is now such an

54
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: egregious thing like that that encapsulate Yankees fans right there?

55
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: Like what like I don't think Derek Jeter ever had

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: a strike called on him, and there are umpires that

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: can't wait to call Mike Trout out on strikes. To

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: to the point of, like what everybody talks about, why

59
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: can't Mike Troud good to the playffs like, Okay, never

60
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: call a strike on him. Make Garrett Cole sign with

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: the Angels, will do those things. But listen, I know

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: that's not what you asked I'm feeling good. But you

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: know what's funny is we always talk about this. If

64
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: everybody who has ever heard me use this phrase and

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: they kind of wonder what I what I mean by it.

66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: I use this term called the League of Record, which

67
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: is not the name of the league, but it's the

68
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: league that I held the most dear and it's the

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: league that I'm in with all my friends I grew

70
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: up with in Corona, California, and it's been going on forever,

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: and we have these intense rivalries and there's like splinter groups.

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: It's like big brother like where you know, we've got

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: We've got these people over here, We've got the guys

74
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: who grew up on applicate Like I'm in two alliances,

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: So it feels great. I'm four knowing that league. I'm

76
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: three and one in my league with my friends from Chicago.

77
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: So I I feel great, like I I feel good?

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: How about you, Marcus? You know, for the most part,

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing okay. I will say that the the Fantasy

80
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Live league that we have for the show has not

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: been great. I've had some injuries, so that hasn't helped.

82
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: So I have sort of shifted some focus other two

83
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: other leagues. I got a league that that I've had

84
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: for a number of years with, got a bunch of

85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: guys that I was a high school with. I'm doing

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: pretty well there, so that is starting to get a

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: little bit more of my attention. So you know, it's

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: not that I don't care about the other leagues, but

89
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when things are going to have, some

90
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: of those things get put to the back burden. It's like,

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I know that you have just the one child, but

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I can speak to this with somebody who has multiple children,

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Like you have a favorite child and you focus more

94
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: attention on that one. And that's the way your fantasy

95
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues are kind of like I mean, it's like, no,

96
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: no disrespect to my other leagues. Like I if I

97
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: lose in scott Fish Bowl, I'm not losing sleep. But

98
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: if I lose to this guy named Brent, who's the worst,

99
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: Like he's not He's the only guy in our group

100
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: who's not from Corona. So I don't know how he

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: got into this league. But there's a there's a faction

102
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: of us that don't there's a there's a whole issue.

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: But like I'm I'm upset, Like this is dominating my

104
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: whole week. So it's fine if you have one focus

105
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: on one league and that's what happens, but you do

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: what you want to the other ones to do well

107
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: as well. I feel like I'm I'm that guy because

108
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm in a league where I'm the only person that

109
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: is sort of the outsider in the group, so they

110
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: probably feel that way about me. It's I actually had

111
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: taken it upon myself to try and dominate that league

112
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: as much as possible, just to irritate people. Okay, I

113
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta stop you because I know like

114
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: you're but you're a nice person, Like you're a good guy.

115
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Nobody is going to hate you. The person I'm describing.

116
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Those are adjectives we would not use to describe that person.

117
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: So you're in a it's a completely different thing. And

118
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you off the air and you could probably

119
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: draw whatever. But I mean, I meant to have a site.

120
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: I I think I understand where this is going. So

121
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm I'm happy that I'm not that person.

122
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's just give let's not some fantasy news,

123
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: because there has been quite a bit, especially in the

124
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: last few hours before we started recording this show, and

125
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it having to do with quarterbacks, will

126
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: start in Washington with the football team. Ron Rivera has

127
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: made the decision to bench Dwayne Haskins. In fact, Haskins

128
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: is not even the number two quarterback, he's the number

129
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: three quarterback. Kyle Allen will be your starter this week

130
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: and Alex Smith will be the number two quarterback by

131
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: hind Alan in case something happens there. So now the

132
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: question becomes, after we saw Kyle Allen last year really

133
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: struggled with the Carolina Panthers, right, how worried should we

134
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: be about Terry McLaurin in this offense? Well, d J.

135
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: Moore did pretty well. I believe I would have to

136
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: go back and make sure that I'm not speaking out

137
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: of my rear end on this one, but it is

138
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: it is a little weird to go to make this

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: change to Kyle Allen, like he's he's the Alan covert

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: to to to Ron Rivera. And if you don't, if

141
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with that name, that's the guy that

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: is always in all the Adam Sandler movies. You're like, oh,

143
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: that guy, that's That's not what Ron Rivera is doing. Now,

144
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: this pulling this guy along. I I Kyle Allen was fine.

145
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: I guess there's a touchdown to DJ Moore right there.

146
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I know this is this is freaking news. Is this

147
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: is happening. So I apologize. I'll be prepared for I

148
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: don't mean to be ill prepared for your show, Marcus.

149
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: I know, it's just what I was filming a p

150
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: s A this morning. That why I'm not wearing glasses.

151
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things going on. So I'm

152
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: really going to dive in. But to me, the thing

153
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: that I find unfair to Dwayne Haskins, though, is you're

154
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: gonna You're not gonna win the Super Bowl this year.

155
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Washington f T. I'm sorry to be the one who

156
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: has to break that news to you. Why not give

157
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Dwayne as much opportunity as possible to really grow this season?

158
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Like Ron Rivera, you're not in You're not in danger

159
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: of losing your job. It's year one. Why don't you

160
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: spend some more time figuring out how to make Dwayne

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Haskins better. Is the offensive line performing well, he's Antonio

162
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Gibson has been good, But it's like, you don't you

163
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: you still have a You're still like you still have

164
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: a deficit of a lot of offensive pieces, like give

165
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: him an opportunity. I'm I'm kind of I'm bummed out

166
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: for him more than anything. I am too. I really

167
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: thought that. Look, I don't think everything there is completely

168
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: his fault, and and maybe he is not the quarterback

169
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: of the future for Washington, but it does seem kind

170
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: of early to pull the plug on him. I also

171
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: just feel like I would like the consistency we know

172
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins, because this is all about us and

173
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: our fan fantasy. They selfish year for us, the consistency

174
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: of having Dwayne Haskins there. We know what Terry McClaren

175
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: can be with that. And yes, d J. Moore was

176
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: fine last year with Kyle Allen. We were hoping that

177
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe things would get better this year with Teddy Bridgewater.

178
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: They kind of have it, but I don't know. I

179
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: think I'd just rather stick with it. The other part

180
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: of it is just from a football perspective, because the

181
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: NFC East is so bad, Washington is still in this thing,

182
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe that's part of the decision

183
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: process here, is that they're still in this thing. So

184
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: let's go to a quarterback we feel more confident in.

185
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know that Kyle Allen is that guy,

186
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: so I think I would have rather stuck with Dwayne Haskins.

187
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: But I'm also just paid to talk about fake football

188
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: and Ron mcmer gets paid to make actual football decisions.

189
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: So that this is where we are, it's gonna be interesting.

190
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: I feel. I still think if you've got McClory, you're

191
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: probably starting him this week. Yeah, I'm a little bit

192
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: more ried. I'll be keeping an eye on it this week. Yeah,

193
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: And I I know that it's fun to say like

194
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: they're still in the middle of it. But it's like

195
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: when you're watching The Bachelorette and Joe Joe is choosing

196
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: between you know, Aaron Rodgers brother and Robbie and there's

197
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: some other there's like some random third dude where you're like, bro,

198
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: you have to know you have no shot like you.

199
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: She likes these two dudes, she doesn't like you. And

200
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: that's what the watchington f T feels like. It's like

201
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: I get it, like you're you're statistically you're you're in

202
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: this of course, Um now the Cowboys are the Eagles

203
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: are gonna end up winning that division, So and you

204
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: can come back and listen f T fans, if I'm mistaken,

205
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: you can come back and harangue me later, like it

206
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the first time. So but I I be realized,

207
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I I would just I don't know. I I did

208
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: not watch. I went back and I watched that game again,

209
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and it's not Listen, Dwayne Haskins is not Patrick Mahomes.

210
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: But I didn't come away from watching that game being

211
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: like Dwayne Haskins. The problem. There's a lot of problems there.

212
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I think fans of the FT know that they're not

213
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: super Bowl bound this year. Speaking of teams that aren't

214
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl bound, the Juts, Uh, they have a new

215
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: quarterback at least for this week. Again, this story you're

216
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: literally breaking. Just before we started recording this show. Joe

217
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Flacco is going to get the start as Sam Donald

218
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: is still dealing with a show their injury that he

219
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: suffered last week against the Broncos. We saw Flacco for

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: I think a brief moment in that Thursday night game

221
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: with him out on the field. I mean, I know

222
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: he is a veteran and once upon a time the

223
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: joke was that he was elite. I mean, should we

224
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: worry about Jamison Crowder because I feel like he's the

225
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: only Jets pass catcher worth starting. Is there any reason

226
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: to believe that he can continue to to be productive? Now, Well,

227
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the football and that's the one thing,

228
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: that's the one positive that we have. And and if

229
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: it's always a tricky thing about you know, when we're

230
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: doing starts and sits things like that, it's like you

231
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: you conceivably would be like, I don't want to play

232
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder. This is not a good team. And you're like, well,

233
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna behind in seemingly every game. He's

234
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: their best receiver. He's going to be targeted an awful lot.

235
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: And I expect that Joe Flacco is gonna look his way.

236
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: I know there will be some people will be like, hey,

237
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: what about Chris Herndon because the tight end whisper. I'm like,

238
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: I think that was put the band last season and

239
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: we tried to do that with no offense. Who who

240
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: is actually playing better this year? And I don't know

241
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: if you can hear my daughter in the background, so

242
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: I appollo, she's she's a big Sam Donald mark. Because

243
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has been very nice to me over the years.

244
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: So she's very upset about the Sam Donald news. We're

245
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: trying to calm her down, but hopefully that he will

246
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: he'll feel better and we can see him back on

247
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: the field soon with hopefully a new head coach. I'm sorry, Look,

248
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: I I think I I want Sam Donald back from

249
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: my own selfish USC loving purposes. I actually just want

250
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: him to be away from Adam Gays for for my

251
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: own selfish USC loving purposes as well. I like I

252
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: was sort of dubious about starting Jamison Crowder. I think

253
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I probably avoid it this week. I mean, there's no

254
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: way you're starting Joe Flacco. I can't. I can't imagine

255
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: any scenario where you're starting Joe Flacco at all. But

256
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: I think at this point you just sort of stay

257
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: away from the Jets. You hope that when Donald gets

258
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: healthy and gets back, things get better. But this is

259
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: probably one. I think I'm avoiding it pretty much in

260
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: all circumstances. In the same division, Ryan Fitzpatrick, he is

261
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: still the starter, it appears, at least for this week

262
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty Niners. I talked about the

263
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: consistency of having Gawayne Haskins at quarterback for Washington. As

264
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: much as I think it'll be fun to see to

265
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: I do think the consistency of having its magic back

266
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: there is maybe something we can feel okay about. Am

267
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: I wrong? No? No, no, And this was this was

268
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: definitely the right decision. You don't want to take a

269
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: rookie as talented as to is, and even going up

270
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: against a depleted forty Niners defense, you don't want to

271
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: have him make his first start on the road in

272
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Santa Clara. And I know that the the Dolphins are

273
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna be on the road next week as well, and

274
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: I think their first home game, I do know for

275
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: this perfect Their first home game is October against the Large.

276
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: That's right, They're on They're on the road at Denver

277
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: next week. So I think these two games are perfect

278
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: for fits Magic and for the consistency of our fantasy teams.

279
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: This will work out better. And if Brian Flores does

280
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: want to make a move to to a tug of

281
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Boloa at some point, I believe it's gonna be that

282
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: October game against the Charge. Again, it's not an easy matchup,

283
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: but at least when you're home, it's gonna be a

284
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit easier been asking him to go do it

285
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: on the road. I I think that makes a lot

286
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: of sense. So I feel like you can still have

287
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Davante Parker in there with confidence. I would say Preston Williams,

288
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: but I'm starting to give up on the Preston Williams

289
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: dream because he's been out targeted by Isaiah Ford the

290
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So maybe not Preston Williams so much,

291
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: but Davante Parker, I think you can still start with

292
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: a level of confidence as long as Fitzpatrick is in

293
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: there excited to see to Uh. But I just I

294
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: just you know, at this point it's sort of the

295
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: devil you know versus the devil you don't know in

296
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: atmospect this is still kind of good for us. Yeah,

297
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: and Parker was good last week too, by the way,

298
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I know that you know It's magic was twenty points

299
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: and wasn't as great as a lot of people anticiated

300
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: to be. But now I'll make this quick, but Davante

301
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: Parker was still fine. Yeah, I think he's still gonna

302
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: be fine. Receivers Julio Jones aggravated his hamstring injury and

303
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: that Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers didn't

304
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: come out after halftime. I'm starting to get sort of

305
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: worried about him now it's been a couple of weeks

306
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: that he's been dealing with this. I just I'm afraid

307
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: you think this is gonna become a nagging injury. And

308
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then who knows what we get

309
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: out of Julio? What approach should we be taking? How

310
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: worried should we be? No, I'm definitely concerned about this one.

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: And I mean my own selfishly. I have a team

312
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: that where I drafted Davante Adams and Julio with my

313
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: first two picks. That team is not doing well, and

314
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I look at the situation in Atlanta and I'm not

315
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm never suggesting that you know somebody's not gonna play,

316
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: but when your team's owing for or whatever the Falcons

317
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: I believe it's owing for. Like, are you rushing to

318
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: get back out on the field if your hamstring is

319
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: not and you're thinking about your future career? And then

320
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: you even think too, like we're we're fantasy people, so

321
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: our minds are automatically disposed to or deposed or whatever.

322
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm probably saying that wrong because I'm an idiot. I

323
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: don't get any sleep anymore. So, uh, we already think

324
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: of trades. You know, if this was spantasy football, we'd

325
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: be like, hey, let's trade Julio to the well, the Eagles.

326
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Well you wouldn't want to do at the NFC, like

327
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots or something like that. You would love to

328
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: see him go out and get an opportunity to win somewhere.

329
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm I'm worried though, I mean form for

330
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: the week to week. It's like I can't start this player,

331
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna have to start Scotty Miller on Thursday,

332
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: and I'm not feeling great about it. Not feeling great

333
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: about it, I would say, and I've been a big

334
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: proponent of when Julio is healthy, you play, and you started.

335
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: But now because of this nagging thing, I wouldn't be

336
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: opposed to if you have him, maybe just out of

337
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, making some offer, making some trade offers, seeing

338
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: what you can get back in return, just for the

339
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: sake of not having this week to week headache. I

340
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: think that's sort of the big thing. And you know,

341
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: who know what happens. Yeah, if he's healthy, he is great,

342
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: But I don't know no, no, and I agree. So

343
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut you. I mean not enough

344
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: to keep me from cutting you off, obviously. But it's

345
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: one of those things that if you have Julio and

346
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: this is what I'm doing, this is what I'm doing

347
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: with him, Just to give you a little bit of

348
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: a an insight, is I the league that I have

349
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: him in is wide receiver heavy. We we have multiply.

350
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: We only have one running back spot and we have

351
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: multiple wide receiver spots. But the thing is is you

352
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: have to look at somebody who's got a team with

353
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: great depth, who would be willing to take a chance

354
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: on Julio. I need a starter, so I've got to

355
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: get rid of Julio. It's not working out for me.

356
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: But if you've got a team where you have two

357
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: stud receivers and let's say you have DK Metcalf and

358
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is a bad example, but like DK Metcalf

359
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling, for instance, and you can afford to

360
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: not give up one of those two guys, but to

361
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: swing a deal to keep Julio on your bench for

362
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to perhaps save him for the

363
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: stretch run, then you should actually be looking to make

364
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: a deal for Julio. But if you have him and

365
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you're you're you know, out of luck, if he's not starting,

366
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: then yeah, you gotta move him. So two ways to

367
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: look at it. Right there, right as we're having this discussion,

368
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my Twitter feed and and as though

369
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Mike garif Folo were plugged into what we were talking about,

370
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: he just tweeted that no Julio Jones at practice today

371
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: for the Falcon So, uh, you know, put that in

372
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: your back pocket and help help Hopefully that helps you

373
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: with your decision making when you're trying to figure out

374
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: what to do. There. Last bit of news, Sean McVeigh

375
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: says he expects cam Acres to be returning to the

376
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: Rams backfield in week five. It feels like we talked

377
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: about this backfield every week because it has sort of

378
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: been a merry go round. So now that they're potentially

379
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: three guys back there with Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown,

380
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: what are we doing about Rams running backs? You know,

381
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: it's it's really a riddle. And it goes back to

382
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: the preseason when Sean McVeigh was talking with such adoration

383
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty and Niners running back situation.

384
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at me. I didn't even plan that.

385
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: How how great am I? Um? But last week everybody

386
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: was just expecting Darryl Henderson to go out and and

387
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: have this huge game. It was a good matchup. He

388
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: had done nothing that would lead you to believe that

389
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: he was gonna lose snaps to a healthy Malcolm Brown.

390
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: And yet that's ex actually what happened. And now it's

391
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: going to become incredibly frustrating because there aren't a lot

392
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: of teams who run the ball more than the l

393
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: A Rams. But you still can't trust any of these

394
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: guys because now that Cam Akers is going to be back,

395
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't really know which way to go. And I

396
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: still think that Malcolm Brown still ends up being the

397
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: the goal line back. I don't know it. It's one

398
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: of those situations where we're gonna have to just wait

399
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: for it to play out, and I don't know that

400
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: it's ever gonna come to a point where we're gonna

401
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: get definite clarity on this at all. Completely agree. I

402
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: think it's just going to be a mess all year long.

403
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: I unless you really have to, I would almost advise

404
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: sitting any of your Rams this week. Your Rams running back,

405
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: certainly against the Washington f T because they are very

406
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: good against the run. Now you've got three guys potentially

407
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: to take those opportunities. It's just it's so hard to forecast.

408
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm generally worried about the Rams offense this week for fantasy.

409
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: So if you can somehow avoid it, which I get

410
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: might not always be possible, especially you've got a Cooper

411
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: Cup or Robert Woods, if you can avoid it, I

412
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: would suggest doing that, But otherwise I just think you

413
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: just sort of have to temper your expectations because it

414
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: just may be a rough week for any Ramsey have

415
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: in your fantasy lineup. Okay, Today show sponsored by draft Kings,

00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: Where you hit the quarter points of the NFL regular season.

422
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna do some quarter pole analysis here and before

423
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: interview horse racing buffs come at me with the quarter

424
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: pools when you have a quarter the race left, not

425
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: a quarter like, I don't care. I don't care. This

426
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. We do it every year, and

427
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: you can you hit us with us every year and

428
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: we keep doing it every year. Stop doing this stance.

429
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: This is quarter poles. I mean, you know they still

430
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: run that one in Louisville every year. Um. Yeah, so

431
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: people sort of care about that one. I shouldn't knock

432
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: at that. I will say that I went to the

433
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Kentucky every one year. It really was a fun thing

434
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: to do. I would say, if you want to put

435
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: things on your sports bucket list, going to the Kentucky

436
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: Derby is a lot of fun. So I'll give it that.

437
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: But beyond that whatever. Um So, now that we're through

438
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: four weeks of the NFL season, if you had to

439
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: pick somebody to be your fantasy m v P, who

440
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: would it be. Well, I'm gonna go with Russell Wilson

441
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: number one, because he never gets vote in the real

442
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: m v P voting and so I feel like that's

443
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: pretty pretty bad. And I know there's another quarterback you

444
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: could go with, But I think a lot of these

445
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: always come down to a personal connection with the player,

446
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: and we talked about at the top of the show

447
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: those leagues that are the most important to us because

448
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: there are real good friends that have gone back for

449
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: years and years and everything like that. Russell Wilson is

450
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: my quarterback in those leagues, and the only and the

451
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: point totals are skewed towards the quarterback. And so I've

452
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: suffered with an injury in one of those leagues to

453
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. But I'm still three in one because Russell

454
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: Wilson has been so good. Last week not not so much,

455
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: and I lost for the first time, but he's personally

456
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: carried my team in my in my in my second

457
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: city league. So it's a selfish vote for me, but

458
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: it's still my bout and I'm giving it to Russell Wilson.

459
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: So that makes me feel two ways about my pick.

460
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: On the one hand, I'm not voting for Russell Wilson,

461
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: which sort of makes me sad because he doesn't get

462
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: m VP votes. But on the other hand, I'm picking

463
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because it's sort of selfish for me too.

464
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I took Josh Allen uh in the scott Fish Bowl,

465
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: and I took him. Look what some people thought was

466
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: sort of early. Mind you, it is a two quarterback league,

467
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks were flying off the board pretty quickly. So

468
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: I made Josh Allen the eighth quarterback taken, and so

469
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: far he's been fantastic. He has improved drastically in his

470
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: ability to throw the football. We know he can still

471
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: run effectively, and he still is, in essence, the gold

472
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: line back for the Bill's offense, especially when Zack Moss

473
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been available for them. So he's scoring touchdowns in

474
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: any number of ways. And I think because he runs

475
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: the football effectively that when it gets cold and the

476
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: weather gets nasty in Buffalo, he's still going to have

477
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: some fantasy value because you know he can get those

478
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. So uh, I had my questions about his

479
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: ability to throw the football deep, but I still went

480
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: with him anyway because I thought the rushing value would

481
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: keep him afloat. He's been fantastic and so look, any

482
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: apologies to Bills mafia. If you felt like I slighted

483
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: you or your quarterback, I apologize, and he's been great.

484
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm gonna keep rolling with this Josh Allen

485
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: train as long as I can. Speaking of which who

486
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: has been the biggest pleasant surprise for you when it

487
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: comes to Fantasy this year. Well, first of all, I

488
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: do want to say that Josh Allen is the objective choice.

489
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: But biggest surprise pleasant surprise for me is one that

490
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: I completely missed on was Aaron Jones and his ability

491
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: to get into the end zone. And this was one

492
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: that we we thought about coming into the season. I

493
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: was skeptical that he was going to get nineteen touched

494
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: sounds again when we see players like that hit that

495
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: total and a couple of years ago, Ladanian Tomlinson was

496
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: doing that, and you're like, this makes sense, Like I'm

497
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: watching Ladanian Tomlinson. He's the only back for the Chargers

498
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: and he's, you know, way better than Aaron Jones. I'm sorry,

499
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: sorry to put that out there. I was not. I

500
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: was not. I didn't think that Jones could hit that

501
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: total again. But it looks like he's obviously well on

502
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: his way, which is a shock for a court. For

503
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: a running back that already last year was splitting carries

504
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: with Jamal Williams, and on Monday Night we saw them

505
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: infuriating Lee give a a goal line carry to Jamal Williams.

506
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: For no reason other than to like help out my fan.

507
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: It like I was going against Aaron Jones. I was

508
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: very appreciative, but it made no sense from a football standpoint.

509
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: And even by drafting A. J. Dillon, I thought like

510
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: the riding was on the wall, a player in the

511
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: last year of his contract. Like I'm listening to the

512
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: Packers GM who's saying that they needed another running back.

513
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: So I was gonna go another way. So I have

514
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: no shares of Aaron Jones, but he's went out there

515
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: and put it into my face. For sure. I had

516
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: agree with that because I I thought Jones was being overdrafted.

517
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: I was definitely on the you know, touchdown regression is

518
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: coming bandwagon. I think I drafted A. J. Dillon in

519
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: a few spots because I thought he'd get the gold

520
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: line work. I've given up on that dream pretty much

521
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: because Aaron Jones has has made us look foolish with

522
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: what he's done for the first month. But I would

523
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: say my biggest pleasant surprise has been James Robinson. I

524
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: will tell you I didn't know much about this guy

525
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 1: coming into the season. I was sort of hesitant to

526
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: get any parts of the Jaguars backfield and that included

527
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. Like I didn't want any parts of Leonard

528
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: four Nette because I felt like the Jags didn't like

529
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: him and I just didn't know what his role was

530
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: going to be. But I certainly didn't take any shots

531
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: anywhere else. And Robinson has stepped in and been fantastic

532
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: through the first month of the season, and he really

533
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: has been sort of the only Jaguars running back getting

534
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: any work back there. And who knows what's gonna happen

535
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: later in the season if this continues, but at least

536
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: through the first month, what we have seen from him

537
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: looks fairly sustainable. So if you were able to get

538
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: him on the waiver wire early, or even if you

539
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: had the foresight, if you were one of the hipsters

540
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: like Adam Rank who went out and drafted him late

541
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: in drafts, hat tipped to you. Because this guy has

542
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: been fantastic this year and I'm very curious to sort

543
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: of watch him. He's made He's part of the reason

544
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are fun to watch. I mean, they've got

545
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: some good young players, they're sort of building something interesting.

546
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: Jake Gruden's doing a good job calling plays down there,

547
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: so I definitely like what I see out of James Robinson.

548
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: So if you'd like to take a victory lap right here, rank,

549
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: I will allow you to do that with him. No,

550
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, when you I'm sure I've used this

551
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: analogy before, but it's like when you nail one of those.

552
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: It's like when you're playing golf and you landed three

553
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: ft from the pin, you just kind of tip your

554
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: cap and your your humble because you know you're gonna

555
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: put one in the woods here. And aparently, so I'm

556
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: not even and you know, I guess we could just

557
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: move on to uh uh, I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead

558
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: of myself, but no, this is the thing, like I

559
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: missed on Aaron Jones. Here's here's what I was trying

560
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: to say. I missed on Aaron Jones. And I'll completely

561
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: wear of that. And it's like, but you know, I

562
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: drafted James Robinson. So I'm like, I feel like I'm

563
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: breaking even there. And by the way, kids on Instagram

564
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, you're so terrible, Like I understand

565
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: that I miss picks and I will call it out

566
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: when I do, but like, can you not just at

567
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: least like like Marcus did. Was it so tough to

568
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: be like, oh, James Robinson, you did all right? Listen,

569
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm level right now. I'm not. I'm not I'm

570
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: not taking a victory lap. I'm taking a victory like

571
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: sitting in my seat thing whatever. Uh. But yeah, he's

572
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: been fun. That's it. I have no other thing that

573
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: all right? Well, so can I add one other thing

574
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: something that? No? No, no, this is this is the

575
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: question that we get a lot, and I did want

576
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: to address this because a lot of people will come

577
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: out and they'll say, hey, so is James Robinson a

578
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: cell high type of player, which in some in some

579
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: sense like yeah, sure what but when we find players

580
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: like this, let's let's hold on to him. Like it's

581
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: not easy to find running backs all the time. So

582
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: if you've picked up James Robinson and you're winning your

583
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: games with them, you ride that train until it's like

584
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: when you have a car that's paid for, you're like, listen,

585
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm not putting any more. You know, I'm not getting

586
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: an oil change anymore or anything like that. But I'm

587
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: gonna continue to ride or ride this out as long

588
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: as it will take me to where I want to go.

589
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Somebody somebody asked me. Actually, our pal Jake Ceeley I

590
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: was I was talking with him recently and he was

591
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: asking like, who would I trade James Robinson for? And

592
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: I was like, that'd be a pretty tough deal to

593
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: give up. Um, you know, I mean, you have to

594
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: be talking to me about, like legitimately a top maybe

595
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: top ten for real running back for me to consider

596
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: partying ways with James Robinson because and he's been good

597
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: and it's hard to find running back. So yeah, I'd

598
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: stay with this thing as long as you possibly could. So,

599
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: speaking of the surprises, I guess we have to flip

600
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: it to the biggest disappointments. I think there's one that's

601
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: sort of unanimous. Um, that's probably who I'm going to

602
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: talk about. But for you, maybe in the less the

603
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: less obvious, who's your biggest disappointment. Yeah, I'll let you

604
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: take the obvious one. I want to I want to

605
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: speak a moment on d J. Moore and how really

606
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: frustrate ating this one has been because he was really

607
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: good last year, had his breakout. He was a player

608
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: that I had a lot of faith in coming into

609
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: the season, and I was rewarded for it. And again

610
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: we talked about establishing these emotional connections with players. When

611
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: you take a chance on somebody like DJ Moore in

612
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen, you better believe you're coming back and

613
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: doubling down on him in twenty especially when they upgrade

614
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, going from Kyle Allen to Teddy Bridgewater.

615
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: We thought that this was an automatic slam dunk, like

616
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that he wasn't going higher in drafts

617
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: and always felt fortunate when I was able to land

618
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: d J Moore. And it hasn't worked out. And Marcus,

619
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: I believe that you're the one who pointed this out

620
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live on Monday or Tuesday, that Robbie Anderson

621
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: has been the guy that we expected t J Moore

622
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: to be and d J Moore has just been a

623
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: guy like he's just the receiver that you can't trust.

624
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: And even this week going up against the Atlanta Falcons,

625
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: I made the mistake last week of starting d J

626
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: Moore over DJ Chark, and I'm in the same same

627
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: odd again, like I still have having trouble with this decision,

628
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: and it feels like I've got to like I almost

629
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: need to get him off my roster, so I'm no

630
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: longer tempted to play him because I feel like it's

631
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: going to be frustrating for the remainder of the season. Yeah,

632
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson has become d J Moore. D J Moore

633
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: has become Curtis Samuel. I don't know what that means

634
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: for Curtis Samuel. Uh that that that probably just puts

635
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: him completely off off our fantasy radar at this point.

636
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna take the obvious one and

637
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: say Kenyan Drake and I feel like I have to

638
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: kind of talk about this one because I don't know

639
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: that there was a bigger Chinyan Drake supporter than me

640
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: this offseason. I mean I I pounded the table for

641
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: him at every opportunity, and what we saw from him

642
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: this past week against the Carolina Panthers, Uh, that might

643
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: be hard. Pan. I mean, I don't know that that

644
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: it can get any worse. We're talking about him facing

645
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: one of the worst run defenses in the league and

646
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 1: he managed thirty five yards just three and a half points.

647
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 1: That was it. And I mean, look, he has been

648
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: frustrating to start the season, no doubt. I am starting

649
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: to have bigger questions about the Cardinals offense as a hold,

650
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: because when I watched this game, I just basically felt

651
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: found there are two things that work. They throw it

652
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to new Hopkins and Kyler Murray runs with the ball.

653
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: Those are the only two things that really work in

654
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: this offense. And this is supposed to be a high

655
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: powered air raid attack led by Cliff Kingsbury. They have

656
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: this deep cast of wide receivers, and it just doesn't

657
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: seem like they're doing much. I think somebody, I think

658
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: Rich Rebar tweeted he basically called it the horizontal raid

659
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: because that's sort of what they're passing game is for

660
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: the most part. So Kenya Drake definitely has you know,

661
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: has not performed well. But I'm starting to kind of

662
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: question this Cardinal's offense as a whole. But either way,

663
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: this is not what you signed up for when you

664
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: likely spent a second round pick on Kenyan Drake. I know,

665
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's frustrating. I don't know what to do

666
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: with him. Rank. I don't because you can't trade him

667
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: at this point because last week was so bad. Uh,

668
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: so you're you're sortad of just stuck. I don't want

669
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: to just put him back out on the waiver wire

670
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: because I spent the high dra think on it. I

671
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: don't know what to do now, you know what I'm

672
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm starting them because the Bengals RB one had that

673
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: three touchdown game last week, and I'm like, I don't

674
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: want to miss out on the Canyan, Like what's Kenyan

675
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Drake has that game that I might just cut them

676
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: and be like we're done. But it it. Watching the

677
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: Cardinals reminds me so much of watching the Angels, where

678
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: the Angels were Rendon and Mike Trout and sometimes show hey,

679
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: but it's two guys. Like it's like, if these two

680
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: guys don't do anything, then like this, the game is done.

681
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: And it just feels that way with the Cardinals, like

682
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: it should be so much better. And it's like, I

683
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: know that Cliff Kingsbury look cool on Draft night sitting

684
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: there and at Chateau and Scottsdale, and Bill Belichick is

685
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: sitting in some rando you know kitchen that looks like

686
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: your grandparents kitchen or whatever you like. You know what,

687
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing to be said about that because the dude

688
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: with six rings living modest means and then here comes

689
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: Kingsbury that we all bought into, wet out into this image,

690
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, and it's just not working out, and it's

691
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: been unfortunate, not happening at all. Maybe gets better, but

692
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: right now it's just it's not what we thought it

693
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: was going to be. So who was your worst miss

694
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: in this preseason? Maybe a guy who's been really bad

695
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: or a guy who's been good and you didn't expect it.

696
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: But what's the guy that you wish you you sort

697
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: of could get a do over on? Oh, I didn't

698
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: know I could go good and did well with because

699
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I I wanted to bring up Miles Sanders because I

700
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: don't know if this qualifies because he's been in he's

701
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: battled some injuries. The Eagles themselves have battled some injuries.

702
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest the biggest miss for me

703
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: on this is that the Eagles had an injury on

704
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line and I didn't factor that in in

705
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: doing my draft evaluation. And I don't know, you know,

706
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: you're drafting him in the second round, So I don't

707
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: know what else I would have done. Perhaps it's tough

708
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking of some of the players that I

709
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: passed over for him. I could have had an opportunity

710
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: to take let's say Davante Adams, who's been good when healthy,

711
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: George Kittle, who's been good when healthy, and it's like

712
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: all these guys are sort of in the same boat.

713
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I feel like my second round pick was destined Tod

714
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: not be good. Like even Josh Jacobs was another player

715
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: who was in that mix too, and like this is

716
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: who we're deciding about. And Josh Jacobs hasn't been incredible either,

717
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like the second round Julio went in

718
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: the second round, Like the second round was awful for

719
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Maybe Travis Kelsey was one of

720
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: the ones who was probably your best bet coming out

721
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: of there. So I I think what I should have

722
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: just said was the biggest miss was the second round

723
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to think of second round players who

724
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: have been coming through for us, like really like think

725
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: about it, like as I want to go back and

726
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: look at the a DP and and think about it.

727
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: But it's like the second round was and you think

728
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: of all these teams, you know, and I think of

729
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: a team where I had Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs

730
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: three You're like, I'm never gonna lose a game, you know,

731
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: half point PPR. You're like, especially half point pop. You're like,

732
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm never losing, Like, how do I not win? There

733
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: are other leads where you like, I have Kenyan Drake

734
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders. I'm like, I can't believe you guys.

735
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: Let me do this. Well, now I know why you

736
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: did so, I you know, I guess the only guy

737
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: that you wentn't have missed on in the second round

738
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: was the guy we were the most concerned about, and

739
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: I was Aaron Jones. Alright, and then you know, maybe

740
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: if I didn't hate the Packers so much. No, no, no, no, no, no, listen,

741
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: the science, the science was sound on that one regression. Yes,

742
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: being the being in a committee there it looks bad,

743
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, always wait on a second round pick. I've

744
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: I've preached that for years. That's that's that's what you

745
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: should do. So the guy I'm looking at his Hayden

746
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: Hurst and sort of like Kenyan Drake, I was pounding

747
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: the table for hayden Hurst over and over again. It

748
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: just made sense, right, Austin Hooper looked great in the

749
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: Falcons offense, their past, happy that the Hurst is gonna

750
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: slide in there and still get that sort of target share,

751
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: but that hasn't been the case. It's just he's been

752
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: almost invisible in this Atlanta passing game. The Falcons passing

753
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: again is maybe not been as dynamic as we wanted

754
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: to be. They're throwing the ball a lot because their

755
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: defense is bad and they have to to stay in games.

756
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: But really there hasn't been much to show for it,

757
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: aside from you know, Calvin Ridley, who then also put

758
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: up a goose egg. This past week. We talked about

759
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: Julio Jones being hurt, so now we're talking about you know,

760
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: Ola meeting is the keyest and whether or not we

761
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: should be starting him this week. But hayden Hurst hasn't

762
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: done much. In fact, it was hayden Hurst the reason

763
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: that the last week that that Adam rank you and

764
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: I came up with the seven point one because that's

765
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: what he did. He had the seven point one game,

766
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: one catch, one yard, one touchdown. I really thought they

767
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: were gonna be bigger, better things. But he's been pretty

768
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: miserable this year, and that's sort of the reason I

769
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: started pivoting away. It's the reason that I started sort

770
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: of eyeing Robert Tonyan on the waiver wires. I'm like,

771
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: this looks this looks a lot better than the seven

772
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: point one that I'm getting from hayden Hurst. I'm frustrated,

773
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: and I think I'm a rage drop him a lot

774
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: of places just because it's not at all what I

775
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: wanted it to be. You should no, no, no, you should.

776
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: I was trying to talk, like, listen, that was one

777
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I was never on hayden Hurst. I

778
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: was on uh not Dalton Schultz, Blake Darwin, which injury

779
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: though you can't really take a loss for that one.

780
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: But I realized the thing about Tanyan is that obviously

781
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: he had the huge game on Monday night, and everybody

782
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: will think you, I'm you're chasing the points, are doing

783
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: anything like that. A lot of people have that perception,

784
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are not picking him up

785
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire because the Packers have a bye

786
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: this week. I have a team. I picked up Tanyan

787
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: in my second city league, and I have Travis Kelsey.

788
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: But I was worried that perhaps the Chiefs We're not

789
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna play, So I picked him up and now I

790
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: have I'm holding on like I have Kelsey and I'm

791
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: still holding onto Tanyan through the bye week, and he

792
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: might end up being my flex guy at some point

793
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: because I've got some injuries with that team. So I

794
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty good pick up. And go through

795
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: your waiver wire right now and see if a lot

796
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: of people just passed on him because he's on a

797
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: by or they think you're chasing the points. Because he's

798
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna be involved in this offense. Yeah, I get the

799
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: feeling that he will be as well. I worry a

800
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: little bit about what happens when Davante Adams comes act,

801
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: but the fact that Alan Lazard is gone for a

802
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: while and Marcus Valdes scantling is just so inconsistent, I

803
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: think that that certainly helps for Robert Tonyan to continue

804
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: to be productive. Okay, last one, um, which player is

805
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: the guy to watch going forward? Is there one guy

806
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: that that everybody should just keep their eye on moving

807
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: forward the rest of the season. I really believe it's

808
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, and I honestly feel that he is going

809
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: to be one of these players that starts getting first

810
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: round buzz going into next season because what he's doing,

811
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: he's incredible, and you think about all the deep throws,

812
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: and this is coming to us from our friends at

813
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. On passes where he's targeted twenty yards

814
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: or more, he's first in receptions was six. He has

815
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: two d and fifties, seven receiving yards on passes of

816
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: longer than twenty yards, and he has three touchdowns. And

817
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: of course credit again to Pro Football Focus for that.

818
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: Don't but I I he's come an elite level player

819
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one of those things that we

820
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: look back on in years from now where we're like,

821
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: how did this guy not go in the first round

822
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: of the real NFL draft? Remember when we thought that

823
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: he could only run in a straight line, And it's

824
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: it's he'll have some bad games. I mean, it's inevitable,

825
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 1: but I mean we saw Tyler Lockett basically get shut

826
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: out last week. But d K always seems to be

827
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: in the mix. So I think that he's going to

828
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: be in that conversation as best receiver in the league,

829
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: best fantasy receiver in the league, and it's gonna happen

830
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: very soon. I do remember that talk about how his

831
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: three co drill was so bad and that maybe he

832
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: should take some yoga or pilates classes because that was

833
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: gonna be the only thing to help him become a

834
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: better receiver. And you know, all that talk has completely

835
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: gone away with what we've seen after his first year

836
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: and a half in the league. I'm gonna go with

837
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson in Houston. And a lot of it has

838
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: to do with the coaching change. Bill O'Brien is out

839
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: now as the head coach in the general manager. There

840
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: are some changes coming with this franchise in the next

841
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: year or so. I mean, a lot of it is

842
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: still a ways away from being completely settled. But I

843
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: think in the short term, I think the one thing

844
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is what they did in Seattle. They're

845
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: gonna let Deshaun Cook and they're gonna get this guy

846
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: is their franchise. I mean, he's the one they have

847
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: built this team around. Now, there's still offensive line issues

848
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: and he's still going to be scrambling a lot back there,

849
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: but I do think at some point it's just wise

850
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: to put the ball in his hands, let him distribute

851
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: it to the playmakers out there. You've got these wide

852
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: receivers and Fuller and Cooks and Stills and you know,

853
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: and all these guys, just let Deshaun Watson go out

854
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 1: there and be athletic. It's certainly worked during his time

855
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: at Clemson, it can work in the NFL. So I

856
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: do think that this is going to open some things up.

857
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: This is gonna turn some pages for Deshaun Watson, and

858
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: so anybody who has him on their fantasy roster who's

859
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: been frustrated by what they've seen for the first four weeks,

860
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: I think some better things are coming because, you know,

861
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: let's let's not think too tricky about this, right. I mean,

862
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: like sometimes it's a simp is just letting your good

863
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: players do things, and and Deshaun Watson's a good player.

864
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: It's just time to let him just go in and

865
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: try to make magic. Yeah, Robrio Cornell is like what

866
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: in his seventies, I'm assuming Tim Kelly's gonna go. I'm

867
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly is probably still there. I don't I don't

868
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: think that he left. He was calling the place before

869
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien took it over in week four. I would

870
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: just love him. I love to see him go four

871
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: five wide do whatever. I think O'Brien was kind of

872
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: really committed to making David Johnson a thing and I

873
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: think that's unfortunately I have him on one team where

874
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: I was otto picked him because my friends in the

875
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: second city league did not they have my phone number.

876
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: They let me. They didn't. Nobody texted me, nobody paused

877
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: the draft. It's like, hey, Rank, can you play or

878
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: what's going on? You're missing the draft. I would not

879
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: have ended up with David Johnson, but yeah, I think

880
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: you just gotta let it go. And I think that

881
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: the Texans should be in yellow mode and just do

882
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: that and be like yeah whatever, like not even maybe

883
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: not even call the place. It's like, just go do

884
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: your thing, like whatever, just go out there. We don't care.

885
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: Just go out there and run around and do what

886
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 1: you gotta do. Bill O Brian I think was trying

887
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: to prove a point that the trade he made wasn't

888
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: so bad, and in the end it ended up costing

889
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: him his job. But maybe it's gonna be better for

890
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: everybody involved in Houston. Uh. I having Shawn Watson in

891
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: a couple of spots, So I'm hoping that that things

892
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: get better and turn around with with a change in

893
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: coaching there. So we'll see, uh, you know. Inspired by

902
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,920

Speaker 1: be sure to check out Pearl's Place for some down

Speaker 1: home Southern cooking. All right, so should be your thing.

905
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: I know that it's sort of being promoted as the

906
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: the rematch of Tom Brady versus Nick Foles because the

907
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: last time they played it was in the Super Bowl

908
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: and we learned that Nick Foles is a better has

909
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: better hands than Tom Brady. That that was a big

910
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: takeaway I think from that game. But last week Brady

911
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: went out had five touchdown passes against the Los Angeles Chargers.

912
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: So seeing him look like the Tom Brady of old,

913
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: does this mean we are restoring him to weekly Fantasy

914
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: starters status? I really believe that's the case, and this

915
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup this week. The Bears have actually

916
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: been really good against opposing quarterbacks, and I think part

917
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: of the reason is Jalen Johnson, their second round pick

918
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: out of Utah, has been fantastic and they've got a

919
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: great cornerback tandem. So I don't believe that Brady is

920
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna go out and throw five touchdown passes. But I

921
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: do believe that he's a threat to put up some

922
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: decent fantasy points. I think he'll be right in the

923
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: in the mid card range there, so I would trust them,

924
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, week in a week out. I think that

925
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's time to get him, you know, time

926
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: to like not goof around with Am I gonna play

927
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: him this week? Maybe I'll go with Minshoe, Maybe I'll

928
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: do this guy, maybe I'll put in Herbert or whatever.

929
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: I think that Brady has now kind of proven that

930
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: he can get it done, especially if the circumstances are correct.

931
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: And this is a this isn't December in Chicago, so

932
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: I think he should be okay weatherwise as well. I'm

933
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: probably going to end up eating Crow for this, but

934
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm still sort of holding onto this you know, playing

935
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: the matchups with Tom Brady, and I don't I don't

936
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: necessarily love this one against the Bears on Thursday night. Look,

937
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: I very well could come back on this show next

938
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: week and tell you that I was wrong and that

939
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: I made a huge mistake and and you apologize for

940
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: for what I said. But I'm still sort of I

941
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady is kind of the QB twelve at

942
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: the start of the year, which means he's sort of

943
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: a fringe weekly starter for you. So I'm still sort

944
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: of holding onto that. But I'm also willing to admit

945
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: that I could be totally completely wrong with this one.

946
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stick to it for this week, and

947
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens on Thursday night, and I'll come

948
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: back and and you know, react appropriately, uh if that's

949
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: what that's what it calls for. Um. But because their

950
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: injuries in the backfield there, I mean, Leonard Fournette got hurt,

951
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: you know, the Shawn McCoy is sort of out. We

952
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: saw t Sean Vaughan get on the field. But through

953
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: all of this, how much faith do we have in

954
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones against this defense? This would be a pretty

955
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: good start for him if there's one deficiency in the

956
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: Bears defense, which has been pretty good this year. I mean,

957
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: they allowed nineteen points last week, but it's been in

958
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: the run game, and they've allowed people to run. And

959
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, Philip Rivers was telling Roe Kwan Smith turned

960
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: the corner on him. Didn't really like Philip was sort

961
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: of his exaggerating, But I really do believe that if

962
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: you have Ronald Jones, I would I would feel I

963
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it because of a Bears fan, but I

964
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: would feel relatively safe with it. Ever since. You know,

965
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,720
Speaker 1: Goldman was one of the players who opted out this season,

966
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: and we really get a glimpse of how important he

967
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: was in stopping the run for Chicago. So they've they've

968
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: done a nice job with Adam and I'm not saying

969
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: that they're you know, they're They're not the Cowboys just

970
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: giving up three hundred yards a game. But if there

971
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be one place to attack the Bears this week,

972
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be running the football. And you just

973
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: hope that if Heaven forbid, the Bucks get near the

974
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: goal line, that Brady actually hands it to Jones instead

975
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: of throwing a one yard touchdown to Mike other does

976
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: just settle for field goals. If if you're being if

977
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: you want to be cool Brady, you can just settle

978
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: for field You don't need touchdowns this week, but just

979
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: settle for field goals and everything will be fine. I

980
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: would I would consider starting Ronald Jones uh this week.

981
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,959
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we know that Aaron Jones is gonna

982
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: be on a buy so we know that we know

983
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: there are injuries at running back with Nick Chubb and

984
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler out, so so it is a little bit

985
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: thinner at the running back position this week. And I

986
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: think the fact that it looks like Jones may get

987
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: a bigger workload. I know they sort of like Kei

988
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: Shawn von We saw him scored touchdown last week, and

989
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: I know they kind of like him, But I can't

990
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: imagine that he's going to get a significant portion of

991
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: the opportunities back there. So I would feel okay with

992
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones as maybe an RV two this week, the

993
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 1: paying on what your situation looks like. I wouldn't play

994
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: him in DFS, I wouldn't take that chance, but if

995
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: you're in a seasonal league that I would feel okay

996
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: with maybe having him as my second running back uh

997
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: with the Bears, though. You know, David Montgomery got a

998
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: lot of work this past week with Notary Cohen. He

999
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: actually had like six targets, which I think is a

1000
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: career high for him. So is is his fantasy stock

1001
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: rising now a little bit? I know Matt Maggie came

1002
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: out and said, you know, hey, I would really like

1003
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: to start running the football more. And You're like, yeah, bro,

1004
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: you call the plays like you're in charge of that.

1005
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: You're you're the guy who's like, hey, I want to

1006
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: start eating better. You're like, yeah, cool, you just ordered

1007
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: chili cheese fries. Stop doing that. And I think I

1008
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: think part I I know that the Bears frands are

1009
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: are frustrated with this, and my friend draft Dr phil

1010
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: Is sends about a d I rate messages to me

1011
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: every game day, like why isn't he running? And you

1012
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: have to point out, like, hey, the Cults are good

1013
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: on defense, like that was the problem. And I do

1014
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: believe that this matchups a little bit better. Not that

1015
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks are bad on defense by any stretch of

1016
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: the imagination, but I do believe they're gonna get to

1017
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: running the football more. It just wasn't possible last week

1018
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: because the Colts probably the best statistically the best defense

1019
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: in the league right now. So let's see what happens

1020
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: this week. I think that David Montgomery, like you said,

1021
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: the six targets is a is an impressive number as well.

1022
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: I wish if I do, if I do have one

1023
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: note from hat Maggie, it's when it's third and short,

1024
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 1: let's go with David Montgomery. I I like Cordarrell Patterson.

1025
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he should be our third and short guy.

1026
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. So I'm starting to come

1027
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: around on David Montgomery. I admit, so last year I

1028
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: was a big fan. He was just sort of okay.

1029
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: So then this year I went into this season sort

1030
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: of feeling kind of like I've been burned, and so

1031
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm slowly starting to come around. And I think this

1032
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: is a week because the opportunity is there, Like it's

1033
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: hard to find guys that you know, we're just going

1034
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: to dominate the snaps and the touches in the backfield,

1035
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery is one of those guys. I don't

1036
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: like the fact that the Bears offense is just not

1037
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: it's not high power. So the touchdown upside is sort

1038
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: of lower, but this is kind of a volume play

1039
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: for me that Montgomery is gonna get most of the work.

1040
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: You know. The the Corderol Patterson at running back thing

1041
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: wasn't all that great last week. I think Ryan All played.

1042
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: I think you count on one hand the number of

1043
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: snaps Ryan All played last week. So there just doesn't

1044
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: seem to be any real competition for Montgomery back there,

1045
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: So that at least makes me feel more encouraged about him.

1046
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: You're right, the butts defense is very good, so that

1047
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: that's you know, that is worrisome on a Thursday night,

1048
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: but the opportunity, it's gonna be hard to beat that.

1049
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: So I think that's a reason to sort of believe

1050
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: in David Montgomery for the short term. So we'll see. Uh.

1051
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: On the flip side, is Anthony miller stock declining? Um,

1052
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: If you haven't learned the name Darnielle Mooney, I think

1053
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: people need to start paying attention to that, right, Yeah,

1054
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: you know what? They and they were going to Mooney

1055
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: on third down, like Philip or not. Philip Nick really

1056
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: looked like he was trusting him, Like a lot of times.

1057
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: They kept going to Mooney, And you're like gosh, man,

1058
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: they're they're really putting a lot of trust in him,

1059
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: and so Anthony Miller is somebody who I honestly just

1060
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: don't believe there's gonna be enough volume there to trust

1061
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: him in the long term. He's gonna still go out

1062
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: and he can make plays like this was a fantastic

1063
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: throw by Folds, great catch, and he's got a lot

1064
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: of ability. But I again, I I think with the

1065
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: Bears trying to move more towards being a running offense,

1066
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: I think they want to start putting the ball into

1067
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: the hands of David Montgomery and a little bit of

1068
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: Cordero Patterson as well, and they spread it around and

1069
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is still the number one receiver on that team,

1070
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: and they still like to go to the tight end

1071
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: when possible. Jimmy Graham. I know, the Colts actually did

1072
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: take out Jimmy Graham, so there there's other options. So

1073
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: I think that Anthony Miller is a fine player, but

1074
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's gonna be somebody that you

1075
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,439
Speaker 1: can trust fantasy wise, and you really probably just don't

1076
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: even need him on your roster anymore. Yeah, I was

1077
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: surprised that a week or so ago seeing how available

1078
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: he was in NFL dot com ways. And then I

1079
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: started digging a little deeper, and I saw that darniell

1080
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: Mooney was getting more looks, and it started to make sense.

1081
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: And so you know, while I was a couple of

1082
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago a proponent of getting Miller off their waiver wire,

1083
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm backing away from that now just because it

1084
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: looks like he's starting to sort of be de emphasized

1085
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: in the Bears offense. So it'll be an interesting game.

1086
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: There should be fun to watch on Thursday night, Bucks

1087
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: and Bears. You can see that, of course on NFL

1097

Speaker 1: of Mind Online Visas got You Cover time for Adam

1098
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: Ranks Week five starts and sits. Let's start at the

1099
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: quarterback spot. I know I expressed some concerns about the

1100
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense earlier in the show, but you're feeling okay

1101
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: about Kyla Murray this week. Well, they're playing the Jets,

1102
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: so I think that goes without saying that we can

1103
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: pretty much go ahead and start him this week. The

1104
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: Jets have allowed seven touchdown passes the quarterbacks this season.

1105
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: That's the eighth most in the NFL, so perhaps they

1106
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: won't have to rely on Kyler Murray so much to

1107
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: run the football. But when he does, he is the

1108
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: best in the NFL. And doing that, he's had He's

1109
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: had an average of sixty six point three YESH rushing

1110
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: yards per game this season, and he scored at least

1111
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: twenty one fantasy points per game this season. So that's

1112
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: a pretty easy one. Let's get a little bit more difficult.

1113
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Teddy Bridgewater, who is the QB one

1114
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: heading into this week, but had a great week last year,

1115
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: last year, last week. Again, I'm saying the word week

1116
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: too much. How about Ted Bridgewater going up against the

1117
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: Falcons twenty six fantasy points last week. Again, God, why

1118
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: am I still saying that word? Stop it? Rank Cardinals.

1119
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: The Falcons have allowed an average of right around thirty

1120
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: three Fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. That's the most

1121
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So if your quarterback has been struggling,

1122
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: or you had Aaron Rodgers or even Matthew Stafford, whatever,

1123
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: go pick up Teddy Bridgewater for this week. I like

1124
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: the Bridgewater pick. I said before the season. He's he's

1125
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: a streaming option in most leagues, and this is the

1126
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to get him in and stream him, especially if

1127
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: you are missing, say Aaron Rodgers coming up in Week five.

1128
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, at running back, we we talked about Kenyan

1129
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: Drake and how frustrating it is. Do you believe this

1130
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: or are you just trying to speak it into existence?

1131
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: Because either way, I'm totally down with with him. You know,

1132
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: having a big week this week, little column a little

1133
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: of column B it is. But again, I mean, they're

1134
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: the big game is going to happen. I think that

1135
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: a lot of people had given up on Kenyan Drake

1136
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: last season when he was traded from the Miami Dolphins

1137
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: to the forty Niners. And I remember a lot of

1138
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: people were started him. The only person I know in

1139
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: my life, Candice Patton from The Flash, she had him

1140
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: in our our Fantasy League one and she's like, I'm

1141
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: going with Kenyan Drake, and I'm like, you know what,

1142
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta follow your gut. He had a monster

1143
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: game and so I do trust him this week against

1144
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: the Jets, and I do like Clyde Edwards Hilaire this

1145
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: week as well, going up against the Las Vegas Raiders,

1146
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: who have given up the most fantasy points to running

1147
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: backs this season. We saw last week that everybody was

1148
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: in on Devon Singletary, So for me, it just makes

1149
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 1: sense to go back to Clyde Edwards. Just go ahead

1150
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: and give him an opportunity. I really do believe that

1151
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: this could be a game where the Chiefs kind of

1152
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: just wear them down through the run. And and you're

1153
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: talking about speaking things into existence. I have to go

1154
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: up go up against Patrick Mahomes in a league this week,

1155
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping that it's gonna be a heavy dose

1156
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: of Clyde Edwards Hilaire. I know that after that first week,

1157
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: I think people have been sort of disappointed by Clyde

1158
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, and I'm starting to think that maybe we

1159
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: were expecting too much of him. I don't think he's

1160
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: been bad. I just think that people just were expecting

1161
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: him to come in there and like, you know, like

1162
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: it was going to be Jamal Charles sort of reincarnated

1163
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: in the Geese offense. And I think that's sort of unfair.

1164
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: But he's been fine. I just think that maybe our

1165
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: expectations were a little bit too high for him. Uh

1166
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Uh look, I know Justin Jefferson has been

1167
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: a nice player the last couple of weeks. But this,

1168
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: this passing game still runs through Adam feeling there for

1169
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings, right, Oh, certainly, And you've got to start

1170
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: in this week going up against the Seattle Seahawks again,

1171
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: a team that has given up a lot of production

1172
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: through the air. And it's it's funny how quickly the

1173
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 1: NFL moves, because a couple of years ago, a game

1174
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: between the Vikings and the Seahawks would have been a

1175
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: defensive battle. Should we start any of these guys, should

1176
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: we be worried about any of our superstars? But now

1177
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: we have no hesitation. Adam has four receiving touchdowns on

1178
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: the season. That's tied for the second most in the NFL,

1179
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: and of course, the Seahawks have allowed the most fantasy

1180
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: points per games to the white Out. So I think

1181
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: Adam is a good start, and Justin jeffers And is

1182
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: also a really good start as well. And I'm gonna

1183
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: go with Ceedee Lamb is another one of my starts

1184
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: this week, going up against the New York Giants. He

1185
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: is one of three players in the league who's had

1186
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: at least five receptions in fifty yards in every game

1187
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: this season, seventeen Fantasy points in two out of his

1188
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: last three. And if this was professional wrestling and the

1189
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys receivers were a trio with Cooper, Michael Gallup and

1190
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup would be planning the heel turn

1191
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: out of jealousy that Ceedee Lamb has been so good

1192
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: this year that he would just whop him with a

1193
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: metal folding chair become a huge heel. Ceedee Lamb would

1194
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: be one of the most over faces in the NFL,

1195
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: so I think that he's a safe play each and

1196
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 1: every week. I am getting to the point where I'm

1197
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm almost giving up on Michael Gallup. He had the

1198
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: one big game, but beyond that it has been a

1199
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper, it's been Ceedee Lamb, it's been Dalton Schultz

1200
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: uh and Michael Gallup is getting really really hard to

1201
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,479
Speaker 1: trust now. Which it's sad because I I thought Michael

1202
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: Gallup was set up for big year, but it doesn't

1203
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: seem to be happening what And it's crazy to me too,

1204
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: because we talked about this coming into the season. There

1205
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: were one hundred seventy seven targets left from Jason Witten

1206
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: being gone and from Randall Cobb being gone, and where

1207
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: have they gone? And the Cowboys throw the ball a lot.

1208
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,919
Speaker 1: It seems impossible that Michael Gallup is not more involved. Yeah,

1209
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out, but but this has been

1210
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: the case through four weeks. I just don't know, tight End.

1211
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you, George Kittle and I got people

1212
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: are gonna look at that and say, well, of course,

1213
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like everything and you

1214
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: just have to remind people to start some of these

1215
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: star guys and not worry about matchups and that sort

1216
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: of thing. I just want to sometimes talk about my

1217
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: favorite players in the NFL, and George Kittle is definitely

1218
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: one of those guys. He's a huge wrestling mark like me.

1219
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: We we we chat on the social media. He's really

1220
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: nice to me. Even though I picked the forty niners

1221
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: to go three and thirteen, he's still he's still gives

1222
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: me time and and he's cool with me. And so

1223
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: I think that he did on Sunday Night was one

1224
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: of the most impressive things that I've I've said, fifteen targets,

1225
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: fifteen receptions. It's impossible to go out there and be

1226
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: this good, and he plays with such aggression that you

1227
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: can't help but love the guy. And I kind of

1228
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: like Hunter Henry this week. I know that I feel

1229
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: like Hunter Henry has been good like but he's a

1230
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: good player. But it's a lot like when you go

1231
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: to a sushi restaurant and you order shashimi, which is fine,

1232
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: but you're like, this is it? Like I'm paying a

1233
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: lot of money and it's just one sliver, Like it

1234
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like enough. Because he's currently the tight end

1235
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: sixteen on the season, but you see right there at

1236
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: least ten Fantasy points in three out of four games.

1237
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: So I feel confident enough, especially in this matchup. The

1238
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: Saints have allowed a top eight tight end in every

1239
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: game this season, So I think that Monday night you

1240
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: can sit there and feel comfortable with Hunter Henry and

1241
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm starting justin Herbert. I replaced him

1242
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: with a with an Aaron Rodger, with an Aaron Rodgers

1243
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: on a by this week, so I'm getting icy. I

1244
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: like that. I definitely like that defense. This is simple, right,

1245
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: We're just picking on the Jets, especially now that we

1246
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: know Joe Flacco's quarterbacking this. This seems like a pretty

1247
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: easy call here. Yeah, the Cardinals are. It's pretty easy.

1248
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: And I think with the point the Cardinals doth you're

1249
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: going up against the Jets are going up against Joe Flacco.

1250
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: One of the things that you need to do is

1251
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: start looking ahead at like who it's playing the Jets

1252
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: in the future, and start those teams and start those guys,

1253
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta start pre planning and maybe carrying them.

1254
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: Because last week I went out and picked up the

1255
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals in a lot of spots. Now next week they've

1256
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: got it. It's more difficult because they have one of

1257
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: the teams that they have one of the defenses that's

1258
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: already been picked up, so you might want to go

1259
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: with them. And then I also like the Kansas City

1260
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs this week. No, I'm sorry the New England Patriots.

1261
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I saw that video come up with I'm

1262
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: like good. I like the Chiefs. I almost I almost

1263
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: used to waiver claim on them this week. But I

1264
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: do like the Patriots going up against an inexperienced quarterback.

1265
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of injuries. Courtland Sutton obviously is out,

1266
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: so there's there's an opportunity to go out there. And

1267
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: it's just impressive to me to watch this Patriots defense

1268
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: because every you know, in Week one, I remember saying

1269
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: something like, you know, they've allowed only one rushing touchdown

1270
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: since the start of two thousand nineteen. And obviously some

1271
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: kid on Twitter is like, oh, it's a different team now,

1272
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, there's one team in the NFL

1273
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: where it seems like it doesn't matter who is in

1274
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,479
Speaker 1: the helmet, as long as they're just on that field,

1275
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: they're always good. It's the New England Patriots. And I

1276
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: was I I watched that game again and I was

1277
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: extremely impressed with with how well that Patriots defense plays.

1278
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: And they've lost so many guys over the last couple

1279
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: of years, and they just keep doing it over and

1280
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: over again. So if the Patriots are available for you,

1281
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of people might have dropped them because

1282
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: they were playing the Kansas City Chiefs, go see if

1283
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: they're available and go pick them up. Bill Belichick had,

1284
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: he's just solved football. I think there's there's no other

1285
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: way we have to explain it. So think of that

1286
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: was Secure Starts presented by Visa. I quickly go through

1287
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: some of your sits at quarterback, you are looking more

1288
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: not for Ryan Fitzpatrick this week. Yeah, I mean it

1289
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: just makes sense going up against the San Francisco forty Niners,

1290
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: and even though Bosa is out and they've lost some

1291
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: other players of note, they're starting to get a little

1292
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: bit healthy. I think Richard Sherman at some point we'll

1293
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: be back. But the forty Niners have allowed the second

1294
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: few his fantasy or yards per game to quarterbacks this season,

1295
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: and fits magic. You know, it's it's that time of

1296
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the year when you know the magic is starting to

1297
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: run out, Like it's it's like going to see a

1298
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: real magic show and be like, oh, I see the

1299
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: wire and it's just it's just time. So we're gonna

1300
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: leave him on the bench. For the next two weeks,

1301
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: and we got Denver next week in Baker Mayfield against

1302
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And again I want to reiterate this,

1303
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't believe that Baker is a bad quarterback. I

1304
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield. I don't think that he I don't

1305
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: I think he gets too much criticism. But I will

1306
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: say that this matchup against the Colts is very tough.

1307
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: They did a nice job against the Chicago Bears last week,

1308
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, And in fact, they've allowed the fews fantasy

1309
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks this season. They have not allowed, on average,

1310
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: to get more than double digit fantasy points. And so

1311
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm avoiding. I think this is an easy avoid

1312
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: and I think it also trickles down to Odell Beckham Jr.

1313
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Who was very good obviously on Sunday, but now you've

1314
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: got to kind of avoid him this week. Running back,

1315
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: were you looking at putting on the bench this week

1316
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: at the in the backfield, I know a lot of

1317
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: you probably picked up Joshua Kelly or you've had him

1318
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: on the bench or anything like that. I'm still gonna

1319
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: wait another week. I'm not sure that I'm gonna rush

1320
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,959
Speaker 1: him in to my lineup. I know that he really

1321
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: hasn't taken advantage of the opportunities. I know a lot

1322
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: of people were hyper on him going into that Carolina

1323
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: match and he just didn't perform. And now he's he's

1324
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: put the rock on the ground in a couple of

1325
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: games and a couple of key spots to that that fumble,

1326
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure whose fault it was. It was him

1327
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: or was justin at the end of the first half

1328
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: last week against Tampa Bay, but it stands out to me,

1329
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on the running back. You've got

1330
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: to secure that football. So that's the kind of thing

1331
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: that gets you off the field. And I'm looking at

1332
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Miles Gasket, who is a player that I advocated to

1333
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: pick up off the waiver wire last week, was hopeful

1334
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that he was gonna do better against Seattle. I know

1335
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Seattle is tough against the run, so I'm not completely discouraged.

1336
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: But even though he has become the guy who is

1337
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: getting all the production for the Miami Dolphins, he is

1338
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: still hasn't topped fifteen fantasy points in a game this season.

1339
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I do believe at some point it's going to happen.

1340
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: He's worth Rostering. Don't get rid of him. I'm just

1341
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: not playing him this week. Wide receiver. We talked about

1342
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: the Rams might maybe not having a great week. Robert

1343
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Woods is sort of a guy to avoid. Huh. Yeah.

1344
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 1: We've seen Cooper cop over the last two weeks out

1345
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: targeting him seventeen to thirteen. It's not a significant difference,

1346
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: but I just I've seen more action from Cooper cup

1347
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: and you know what, this isn't a This isn't a

1348
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: great matchup either for him. I mean Washington has allowed

1349
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: just one top thirty wide receiver this season. Trees has

1350
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: scored fewer than forty scrimmage yards. Here has attained rush

1351
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: for combined whatever accumulated less than forty scrimmage yards and

1352
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: two of his last three games. I do know they try.

1353
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: They get very creative near the goal line. But we

1354
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: saw Gerald Everett get a get a play that I

1355
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: thought would have been designed for for for Bobby here,

1356
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 1: but unfortunately it didn't go his way. They do, they

1357
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: do run the jet sweeps. I mean that's an automatic.

1358
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's listen. You come to l A, you

1359
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: get an in and out burger, you go see the

1360
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Hollywood Sign, and you go see a jet sweep run

1361
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: by Bobby Trees. And I'm also going to avoid Jerry

1362
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Judy against the New England Patriots. He's had fewer than

1363
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: sixty five receiving yards in every game this season. That

1364
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Broncos offense has not been playing very well. They've had

1365
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: fewer uh they've had They've had on average twenty and

1366
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: a half pints per game. That's the fifth fewest in

1367
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. They're averaging just over three hundred yards per game,

1368
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: which is the fourth viewest in the NFL. So you

1369
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: really need him to be touchdown dependent. So I'm going

1370
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: to avoid him in this situation. And then at the

1371
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: tight end spot, who are we looking at sitting on

1372
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: the bench this week? Who are we looking at? It's

1373
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: Mike Gasecki. I think it's gonna be one of them

1374
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna avoid this week. Is that who I'm

1375
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: supposed to lead off with? I should put you? Okay? Good?

1376
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I was. I was helpful. We saw it last week.

1377
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny because Patrick Claiban and I talked

1378
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: about this on one of I think it was Friday's

1379
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, where I was like, don't play Zach Ertz,

1380
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, at I'll give Zach er

1381
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: it's a chance because the forty Niners f p A

1382
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: might be a little bit skewed because the tight ends

1383
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: that they played have not been great, which was a

1384
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: fair point. I'm like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. But

1385
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: now they we've seen them shut down, Zach Ertz. I

1386
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: think now we can just come out and proclaim, at

1387
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are good against opposing tight ends? Did

1388
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: I have one or two on this one? I I

1389
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: feel very very prepared right here, but I think there's

1390
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: a second one, right, Kyle Rudolph, Right, Oh that's right.

1391
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, my nu. I don't know what my

1392
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: computer screen has gone completely right, But yeah, you know

1393
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: what Kyle Rudolf was it. It's it's tough to find

1394
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: these tight ends that I'm really avoiding because there are

1395
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: some good matchups this week. But I think that the Seahawks,

1396
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: for as much production as they have given up to

1397
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, they've done okay against the tight ends,

1398
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and so to me, and I feel like Kirk Cousins

1399
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: is going to be as efficient as possible with the football.

1400
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna look to Adam feeling he's gonna look to

1401
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, and of course he's gonna probably go to

1402
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. So I think that Kyle Rudolph's too far

1403
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: down the pecking order. And I know a lot of

1404
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: people might look at this and say, well, you know, wait,

1405
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks give up a lot of production, and I

1406
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: understand that, but they have been good against tight ends,

1407
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: So I would avoid Kyle Rudolph if possible. For the

1408
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: rest of Adam ranks Start Consent. You can find it

Speaker 1: YouTube dot com slash NFL Fantasy Football. All Right, you

1417
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: probably went out on the labor wire, made some claims.

1418
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: Maybe you've got a couple of guys that you were

1419
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: looking for. So as we wrap up the show, rank,

1420
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: if you scored Bolton Schultz this week, he's playing in

1421
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. Would you start him? I

1422
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: really believe so. Again, we talked about this a moment ago.

1423
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: It just it's interesting that Michael Gallup has disappeared from

1424
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: this offense. But Dalton Schultz, he might not be Blake Darwin.

1425
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's not the same. He's not the same.

1426
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like settling for iron Man

1427
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,959
Speaker 1: when you wanted Batman. But whatever is still great, still

1428
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: doing pretty well. So I would, I would get a minute.

1429
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: I I honestly believe this is this is a good matchup,

1430
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity for him. I'm also curious

1431
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: which way that Jason Garrett revenge game works. Is it

1432
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: the Giants? Do the Giants care, Like, does Danny Dimes

1433
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: come in and be like, oh, I'm doing this for Jason.

1434
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I want to stand up for him, or the Cowboys like,

1435
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: you know what, we want to show Jason that we're

1436
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: much better than we thought we were. I don't know,

1437
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: are they mad at him? Are they missing Jason Garrett

1438
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: at this point? I don't know. There's a lot of

1439
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: things going on. I think the short answer is I'm

1440
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: starting Dalton Schultz unless I have Kelsey of course or kill.

1441
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more stuck on the Dalton Schultz being compared

1442
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: to Tony Stark. But I think because of the volatility

1443
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: and tight end and the fact that schultzon has been great,

1444
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: I have no problem plugging him into my starting lineup

1445
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: this week if I have him all right. And the

1446
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: last one Brandon Auk, who looked pretty good his first

1447
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks for the forty Niners. He's got the Dolphins.

1448
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,919
Speaker 1: Would you consider him at say a flex spot this week? Yeah,

1449
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: he's got that Spider Man likability. I I really love

1450
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: this player, going back to his time at Arizona State,

1451
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: and I think that he's He's a fun player to watch.

1452
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: We saw him leap over the defender, the kind of

1453
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: things that we've come accustomed to seeing him do. The

1454
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: one thing that I have a hesitant Asian with is

1455
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: that Deebo plays a similar type of role. They're not

1456
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the same, but like they're both players are very good

1457
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: and very athletic, and there's just so many limited snaps

1458
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: with the forty Niners that it's there's not gonna be

1459
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: a consistency or a volume there that makes me feel safe.

1460
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: To me, I look at Brandon. I look, he's comparable

1461
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:27,520
Speaker 1: with Leaviscus Chenault where they both have like they're both athletic,

1462
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: and they design plays for him and they're fun to watch.

1463
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Channel really doesn't have somebody that he's competing with for

1464
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: those type of plays like the forty Niners do with Debo.

1465
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: So I guess this is a way of talking myself

1466
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: out of Brandon, even though I really like him and

1467
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: I want to play them. But I know my my

1468
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 1: head asked the way in here and be like, no, no, no.

1469
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: We love him as a player, we love the highlight reel,

1470
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: but perhaps unless we're in a desperate situation, we're probably

1471
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: not starting him this week. As always, check out the

1472
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 1: fantasy rankings before you make any decisions with your roster. Yeah,

1473
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I think twelve team leads, it's hard to sort of

1474
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 1: make that case for him. I think anything deeper than that,

1475
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: then maybe you throw him in as a flex. I

1476
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: love the plan they seem to have for him, but

1477
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: I do think, yeah, not every week he's gonna get

1478
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: in the end zone, and if he doesn't, I think

1479
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sort of disappointed with the production you get.

1480
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: But down the line, I mean, I think I think

1481
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: the ceiling is high for him. I like what Kyle

1482
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan has in mind. So he's a guy you should

1483
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: have on your roster, but maybe not a guy that

1484
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,600
Speaker 1: you're starting this week. So there it is. That is.

1485
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: If we are done. We appreciate you hanging out with
