On today's show, we take a look 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: at Thursday Night Football, the Cheat, the Broncos and the 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: San Diego Charges. We're gonna end Thursday Night Football with 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: a bank empty your bench start. Everybody on these teams 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: will tell you why coming up. Also, they have other 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: big starts and sits for this week and the ghost 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: of Christmas past and future. What do you mean by that? 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: I got to stick around NFL Fantasy Live podcast. It 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: starts now. Plenty of playoff implications and this one both 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: and fantasy and reality. This a f C West showed down, 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: especially from Michael Fabiana. I know I'm still active in 14 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: all nine of my leagues. I'm still in the playoffs. 15 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: But tonight I have Adam Rank, who has Eric Decker 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: and no Sean Morino going against me and Keenan Allen. 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: But then I have Marino in another league, and I 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: have Alan and the league. So these are the problems 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: of people who have nine faces. Since I'll tell you 20 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: how long do we get if you're growing up against 21 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: Eric Decker a course with Westwalker being out and you've 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: got no Shomer and good look, you may not have 23 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: a chance. I'm not going not talking craft one you. 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that that's a hard one to go 25 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: up against. Are you just better because I beat you 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: last week? So the Chargers are fighting for their playoff lives, 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: and so is Michael Fabriano in nine leagues, just saying 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: for more. Let's send it over the field with Jason 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: and Adam Gentleman. Thanks you, We've saved one of the 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: best for last year. Adam charges Broncos Mile High our 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: final Thursday night game of the season. Tons of fantasy 32 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: championships could be decided tonight. How do you feel about 33 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: your guys going? Not good? I don't like having a 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: lot of guys going on Thursday night, But if there's 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: ever a week to ever do it, this is gonna 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: be the one. Yeah, you are emptying your bench and 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: starting everybody in this game. Now. Much has been made 38 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: of Peyton Manning and cold weather. We saw a lot 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: of wild and crazy weather last week. Let's see what 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Paytine's gonna have to deal with tonight. Let's check in 41 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: with our fantasy meteorologist Jim Kosik at eight see four 42 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. Jim simply put Jason absolutely not. 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: Even though I'm no rock star I played with on TV. 44 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm still seeing some halos around bright lights after recent 45 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: LACI surgery. But listen, stormy weather South, stormy weather North, 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: sandwiched in between Goldilocks and the Three Bears, because it's 47 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: just right in Denver this evening, well minus the chill 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: that is, of course, because the average high temperature in 49 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: San Diego is about thirty degrees warmer than kickoff note less. 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: Just a little bit of a breeze out of the 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: west at eleven and whoa Thursday night football, baby, you 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: gotta love it because it's the last one of the season. 53 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: But when we expand the shot, look stormy weather here, 54 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: stormy weather ah. This one cuts to Florida, this one 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: cuts to the eastern Great Lakes, and the end result 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: rain snow, not quite as much as what we saw 57 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: last week, but Cleveland could pick up a little bit 58 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: of snow, and all three games across the Sunshine State 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: may not have too much. In the sun department, I'm 60 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: talking about a shower, thunderstorm, will highlight that more on 61 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode. But remember, gentlemen, all I want for Christmas 62 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: is an official Red Rider Carbine action two shot range 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: model air rifle. If not that, then this cool Uss 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: enterprise ages nine to four. So it's right in my wheelhouse. 65 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, guys. Just shoot your eye out, Jim Now. 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: Injuries are a big topic of conversation this week, and 67 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: this one well, Wes Welker will not suit up due 68 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: to a concussion he suffered on Sunday. Take a look 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: at the injuries we're monitoring of for tonight's game. Here's 70 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: the thing with Wes Welker outrank. We saw Jacob Tammy 71 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: get a lot of attention the middle of the field 72 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: last week. Is Tammy a sneaky play tonight? He is. 73 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: It's a Thursday night game, so it's a little bit 74 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: of of a risk. But if you have injuries to 75 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: your tight end position, Let's say you had robbed Gronkowski 76 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: and then somebody's already gone out picked up Dennis hit 77 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: have picked up to Lanny Walker him. He's a good option, 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: a right Philip Rivers. We get so many questions about 79 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers on the show. What's like we're related to him. 80 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has had a phenomenal season, rank seven touchdowns 81 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: his last three games. You start him tonight. I really 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: like this match up against Thebroncos, So I would play 83 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: him if I had him against a guy, let's say, 84 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: like Tony Romo. If you're trying to make that decision, 85 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: I would lean towards Philip Rivers. This is gonna be 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: a shootout. He's gonna be throwing the ball an awful lot. 87 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: So this is a good play. Again, you know, the 88 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: quarterback numbers are typically down on Thursday Night, but this 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: is a matchup, right, feel confident? Enow just when we 90 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: all decided we're not believing and Ryan Matthews, he's become 91 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: fantasy relevant. Yeah, and again this is coming down to 92 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: the matchup. And Ryan Matthews has played very well. Even 93 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: though he plays just first and second downs, He's still 94 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: coming out and putting up solid fantasy numbers. And a 95 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: lot of people probably drafted him as a two or 96 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: a flex option, and I would feel comfortable putting him 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: out there. I'd feel comfortable with him. I'd feel comfortable 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: with Danny Woodhead as well. This again, this is gonna 99 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: be a show. This is gonna be a high scoring game, 100 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: so I look, I like all these guys and start 101 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen as well. Keenan Allen I was a little 102 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: bit worried about when he had the shoulder injury last week, 103 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: but he's really rebounded. He's been practicing all week, so 104 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: he's good to go. He's become Philip Rivers go to guy. 105 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: We had talked about this in the preseason. He was 106 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: a guy who was a first round talent, but he 107 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: just fell in the third round because he had some 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: injury concerns coming out of Cow. But we kind of 109 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: compared him to an Juan Boulden and said he could 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: have that kind of season from the San Diego Chargers. Now, 111 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: he's not going to get the hundred receptions that an 112 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: Juan Bolden had as a rookie, but he had sixty 113 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: has sixty one and he's still the most targeted guy there, 114 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: so he still has some time to do some damage. 115 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is a strong play tonight, and as Michael 116 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: Fabiano said earlier, I'm starting. Yeah, it took a little 117 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: while to become Philip Rivers guy, but without a doubt, 118 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: Number one there look at our projections fantasy points for 119 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers. As Rank says that you don't 120 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: like playing guys on Thursday night, at least you're playing 121 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: him at the potential shootout. Danny would have. We didn't 122 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on him, right, but would 123 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: Even though he only plays on third doubt is terrific. 124 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: Now he can still come in and do some damage there. 125 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: So he's a nice flex spot. All right. Let's get 126 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: to the Broncos now and Eric Decker getting a lot 127 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: of attention coming off the injury to Wes Welker. Decker 128 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: has been up and down the biggest yoyo this season. 129 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: You trust him tonight, You gotta trust him. He's got 130 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna get the opportunity to play. And if you 131 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: have Eric Decker, you gotta go ahead and start him. 132 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: And again, as Michael Fabriano said, gotta put him out there, 133 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: got to start him. He's just been so fantastic. He's 134 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: scored at least seventeen Fantasy points in back to back games. 135 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: And you just saw right there. He's a guy who's 136 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: being targeted in the red zone, which is what we 137 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: talked about coming into this season. Decker's game was not 138 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: gonna be hurt too much by Wes Welker because he's 139 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: the red zone guy. And you know, Peyton Manning, he 140 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: wants to prove to everybody that he could play in 141 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: the cold. He's talking about all those guys who wrote 142 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: the narrative. Well, guess what, Peyton Manning wrote his own 143 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: narrative by not playing well in the cold, and now 144 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: he's out to show us that he can do it. 145 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: So I look for him to be passing the ball 146 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: an awful on Julius Thomas, considering he operates the middle 147 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: of the field. Do you think he gets even an 148 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: uptick tonight? You better start the normal. I mean, he's 149 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: already a great start as it is. I mean, you're 150 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna play him regardless. He's got a good quarterback throwing 151 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: him the ball. He's got a good matchup going up 152 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: against the Chargers, who just don't seem to stop anybody's 153 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: I say, if you look at this game earlier this season, 154 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: you see him. They're running free against the Chargers. So 155 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: I love this play. I really think that if you 156 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: got Julius Thomas, the only guy I would start over 157 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: and miss Jimmy Graham and if you have that kind 158 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: of options, and congratulations to you. No, Sean Marino, Monty 159 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: Ball Suddenly, Monty Ball starting to become fantasy relevant here 160 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: alongside Marino. He's starting to be a vulture now. No, 161 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Sean Marino is the guy that you know you have 162 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: to start week in a week out. So the big 163 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: question goes do I start Monty Ball? And I think 164 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: that you do. This is a pretty good matchup. Again, 165 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: the Chargers don't stop a lot of people. Monty Ball 166 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: is running the ball enough, especially near the goal line, 167 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: to where he could go out sneak at tent fantasy 168 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: points or even at the eight from flex guy in 169 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: the New World Order of Fantasy football. Eight fantasy points 170 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night from your running backs. And again, 171 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: running backs traditionally do very well on the Thursday night. 172 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: I say you can play them both no higher than 173 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: it flects though for Monti Ball, yeah, I would have 174 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: to see your team. If you're still in the playoffs 175 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: with Monty Balls your number two guy, you must be 176 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: in a real big league. Here's our point projections for 177 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the Broncos fourth and Night Football Big Nights from Peyton, 178 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: Big Nights from no, Shawn, Eric Decker, Thomas, everybody, you 179 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: know what rank. It would have been easier if we 180 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: were to say time with this segment and said, okay, 181 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: what guys aren't you playing tonight? That's the thing. I 182 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: was like, we should do a like dislike and I'm like, 183 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: there's nobody I don't like. I like them all, everybody 184 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: I remember staying with us here in NFL Network tonight 185 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: after NFL Total Access, Matt Money, Smith Elliot Harrison stopped 186 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: by to break down all the fantasy fallout from the 187 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Chargers and Broncos NFL Fantasy Live Back tonight, one am Eastern. 188 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: Now back to Molly Caraman the Gang with today's news 189 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: and notes. Faminos, Molly, thank you guys. Let's get you 190 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: caught up on the latest headlines from coast to coast 191 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: around the National Football League, and we start in Chicago, 192 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: where Jay Cutler was named the Bear starting quarterback this 193 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: weekend against the Browns. Colors missed the last four games 194 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: with an ankle injury, and in his place, Josh McCown 195 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,479 Speaker 1: has put up the most fantasy points of any quarterback 196 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: in that span. Is this a good move by the 197 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: Bears at bar Absolutely? It's a good move by the 198 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Look from the very beginning, Jay Cutler was 199 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. He's gonna be able to and in 200 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: certain situations. This is a team that depends on their 201 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Now, Josh McCown is not chopped liver. This 202 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: is a guy that's come in and played well in 203 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: the absence of Jake Cutler. But when you look at 204 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: his fantasy production, they were it was all there. So 205 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: there's nothing that this team is gonna miss with Jay 206 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: Cutler coming back. I think Brandon Marshall is still gonna 207 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: be alive, Alsham Jeffrey is still gonna be alive. Everybody's 208 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: in play with Jay Cutler and color now is someone 209 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: you can pick up off the waiver wire for the 210 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: last two or three weeks of your fantasy football season. 211 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: He's got a pretty good schedule. I don't know if 212 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: i'd start him this week in Cleveland. That's a pretty 213 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: tough matchup, especially the Bronze playing at home against the Past, 214 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: but he's someone to grab for the week fifteen and 215 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: Week sixteen matchups. He is available of leagues in McCown 216 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: in case you missed it, and I'm not sure, how 217 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: you could have. The Washington Redskins have shut down quarterback 218 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin three for the remainder of the season, Kirk 219 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: Cousins will get the nod in his place. Guys, should 220 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: owners be looking for Cousins on the waiver wire, well, Cousins, 221 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: I like him as a sleeper this week. I really 222 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: like this matchup. Atlanta has not been good against the 223 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: past this season. But that being said, I like Ryan 224 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: Tannehill more. If you're looking for a quarterback off the 225 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: waiver wire, He's someone that I would play ahead of 226 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: it Kirk Cousins. Even at Jason Campbell, I'd play him 227 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: ahead of Kirk Cousins. But this is very interesting for 228 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: the future too. I'm gonna go ahead and get on 229 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: the opposite side of that, and I'm gonna say that 230 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I think kirk Cousin is not only worth picking up, 231 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: he's also worth playing. When you look at the situation, 232 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: depending on your quarterback situation, you don't have a very 233 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: good option Kirk Cousin, remember what he did last year. 234 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: But look at his schedule as well, it's very favorable 235 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: for the next three games, Yeah, at Atlanta, Dallas and 236 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: then the New York Giants in Seattle. Seahawks head coach 237 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll does not anticipate wide receiver Percy Harvard will 238 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: make the trip to New York this weekend. Carol called 239 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: harvn day to day and seemed to be a no 240 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: rush to get him on the field. Here's what he 241 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: had to say about the receiver's injured hip. Kind of 242 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: it has fluctuated, has gone back and forth where he's 243 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: gotten close and then and then, you know, to get 244 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: aggravated a little bit. Just hasn't quite got over the hump, 245 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: you know where he's really clear. He has a whole 246 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: lot of new movement in that if that he hasn't 247 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: had before, and he's he's trying to become accustomed to that. 248 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: With the fantasy season drawing to a close, guys, is 249 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: it time to drop Harvin in redrafts? It absolutely is 250 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the keeper league, you keep him, but if you drop 251 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: them otherwise, just stow fool with him. Stop. No team 252 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: runs the ball more than Seattle except San Francisco as well. 253 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: Still to come. I want to win a cool million bucks, 254 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: do we do?

Here. 280 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: I think I've nailed it. Uh, you know what it 281 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: looks like right now. We guys both have Jamaral Charles. 282 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: You guys both have Josh Gordon Jimmy Graham, all coming 283 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: off big weeks with Sean McCoy over Matt Fortake, Calvin 284 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Johnson over Alshon Jeffrey. But a couple of big debates 285 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: there at the top of the quarterbacks at the bottom 286 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: with the defenses. So first Rank, tell me why Nick 287 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: Foles is your perfect challenge quarterback. You've seen Nick Foles 288 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: play over the last couple of weeks, right, He's been 289 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: one of the most consistent quarterbacks in fantasy football. He 290 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: continues to put up points weekend week out. Even the 291 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: snow could not slow him down in Philadelphia. So pretty much, 292 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: Nick Foles is a good bet anytime that you're gonna 293 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: go out and play this game. And now he's got 294 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the most Fantasy points 295 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks over the last month. It seems like a 296 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: no brainer to me. I put Nick Foles in over 297 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: anybody like fad You have Cam Newton there, Why can? 298 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: Can is a guy that people are going to be 299 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: winning fantasy championships with, and they'll win this week against 300 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: the New York Jecks. He is going to be salty 301 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: coming off a bad performance in New Orleans, and that 302 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned he's playing the Jets. They've given up the 303 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Hey, Adam's right. 304 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: I love Nick Foles. I love him. I like Cam 305 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: Newton more. I'm gonna go with Foles in this just 306 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: for look. They're both great plays. But the big thing 307 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: with me is that if the Panthers get out to 308 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: a big lead, they'll just run the football and Cam 309 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: won't be throwing the football. Kim can run the football, 310 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: he can, but if they get out to a big lead, 311 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: they'll give it to D'Angel Williams and Mike Talbert. No 312 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: matter what the Eagles do, they're still gonna throw the 313 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: football forty times to get out to a big lead. Also, 314 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: and they're still gonna throw the football. Never gonna so 315 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: it's close, but are two great plays this week. All right, 316 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: let's get to the defenses. Now, FABS, you have the 317 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: Panthers defense. Everybody the Jets, Yes, I am again the 318 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: same sort of situation. The Panthers defense is gonna be salty. 319 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: They were extremely embarrassed last week in New Orleans against 320 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: the Saints on national television. Now they're back at home. 321 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: The Jets are really just bad on offense. I know 322 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: what they did last week. That was against the Raiders. 323 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: This is in CAROLINEA. This Panthers defense is aggressive, They're phenomenal, 324 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: and this is the best defensive play in fantasy football 325 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: this week. Start the Panthers. All right, welcome back to 326 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: the perfect challenge lineup for Adam Right, the Chiefs defense, 327 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. You gotta remember to the special 328 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: teams also play a factor in this. And the special 329 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: teams was so good last week against the Washington Redskins. 330 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: But now they got the Oakland Raiders. It's a pretty 331 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: good matchup. The Raiders offense is a little bit better 332 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: than people will give them credit for it. But if 333 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: you look at this matchup historically, the Raiders do not 334 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: do well against the Chiefs. It doesn't matter who the 335 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: quarterback is. You can go all the way back to 336 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: rich Gannon back in the olden days, and even then 337 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: he's uggled against the Chiefs. So I like this matchup. 338 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: I like these inner divisional rivalry games. It's gonna be 339 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: a low scoring affair and the Chiefs will get after 340 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So this is a pretty good play. They're 341 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: both great plays. I'm gonna again go a little bit 342 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: towards the Chiefs defenses. You talked about their pension for turnovers, 343 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: their pension on special teams and pick six is they 344 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: get a lot of turnovers that go the other way. 345 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: The Panthers can pile up the sacks and pop the turnovers. 346 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: But big chunk yardage is Elie Harrison like to say, 347 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: in chunk fantasy points come to this courtesy of the Chiefs. Well, 348 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: you know what another thing that factors into this too 349 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: is that if I cut your finger right there, jets 350 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: green comes out. You know what, you are right about that? 351 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a look at our board and 352 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: see where the lineups compare. If I go with Folds 353 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: going Chiefs, pretty even line up here between you guys. 354 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you didn't pick pill Dawson. The guy 355 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: has not scored less than nine Fantasy points in the 356 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: last ten weeks. I'm sorry, I just assumed you're gonna 357 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: put I tried to do a respectable thing for the 358 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: folks out there trying to win a million bucks and 359 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: not puts it. Massi and Janick As I'd wear that one. 360 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm the lunatic to play sea bass each and every week, 361 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: but when I recommend it, I go Bill Dawson. He's 362 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: got to give that one to me. Are you playing 363 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: sea bass against me? You are to be honor. When 364 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: you change who you are, you lose yourself. I learned 365 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: that from Motions thirteen. Just by changing the kicker. I 366 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: lost myself. You don't want to you don't whenever you're 367 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: embarrassed about who you are. And I'm a sea bass apologist, 368 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: and I will not. I will not get off it. 369 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: I will win or lose with them. I am not 370 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: embarrassed to say that. I don't care who's in my 371 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: kickers spot. I just want them to score points. All 372 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: coming up in NFL Fantasy Live, It's a trap. Admiral 373 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: Akbar is back with this week fifteen trap plays.

All right, now, you guys 390 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: had a big change in the offense this week, the 391 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: injury to Rob Gronkowski. How does your role in the 392 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: offense change? Um? You know, rules are gonna change when 393 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: guys go down. But at the same time, we all 394 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: have the same job to do, and um, you know, 395 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: we have to get it done. And you know, we're 396 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: looking forward to a good week of preparation and and 397 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: ready to go down to Miami to to play a 398 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: tough team. Now, Miami is gonna be a tough game 399 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: for you guys this week. They've been playing very well 400 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: getting back in the playoff chase. What's the best way 401 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: to attack him? Um, you know, there's they do a 402 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: good job of of competing and playing hard. So we're 403 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to match the intensity and you know, put 404 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: together a good game plan and execute. If you're gonna 405 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: say throw the football to me fifteen times, uh, we'll 406 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: spread it out a little bit. We've got a bunch 407 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: of good playmakers on this team, so you know what 408 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: are those guys Julian Edelman talk about how he's grown 409 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: in the offense the last few weeks. You know, Julians 410 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: a guy that's been around here for a long time, 411 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: and he's done a lot of great things and and 412 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: you know a lot of great things this year. And 413 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, uh, he makes play after play and it 414 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: moves the chains, and um, we're excited to to be 415 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: playing next to him and have him now year, first 416 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: year in the offense. Here, great yourself so far? How 417 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: you feel you've done this season? This scene is not 418 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: over yet, but you know we got a lot of 419 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: work to do and in a lot of room for improvement. 420 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like, uh, with a good 421 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: week this week, we can put ourselves in a good 422 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: position to play well this week. I know Tom Brady 423 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit beginning of the season, but really 424 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: has come on strong the last few weeks. What kind 425 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: of differences have you noticed in him? Um? You know, 426 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: Tom's Tom, He's great. Um, you know he we recognize 427 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: him as the leader on on this team, in this offense, 428 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: and we all rally behind him. And you know, Tom 429 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: gets us where we need to be, and you know 430 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: we're all rallying behind him. So you have a pretty 431 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: deep running back corps as well. The last couple of weeks, 432 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: Shane Vereen has really come on. What does he meant 433 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: to the offense? Oh, Shane's great. You know, He's a 434 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: guy that can get out in space and catch catch 435 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: passes and you know, and run the ball between the 436 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: tackles as well. So Shan's a you know, a difference 437 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: maker on this offense, and um, you know we're looking 438 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: forward to see what he can do this week too. 439 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Or all the guys are running back, working into practice 440 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: the last few days. Everybody's going every but he feels great. 441 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: All right, Danny Amendola, appreciate your time with us here 442 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live. Best luck this week against the Dolphins. 443 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Look forward to talking to soon. Happy holidays, Thank you, 444 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: Happy holidays, you two. All right, there goes Danny Amendola. 445 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: From more on Amendola and the Patriots. Let's send it 446 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: over to Molly and the guys. Jay, thanks so much. 447 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: You have to assume that Patriots coach Bill Belichick is 448 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: going to have to pull off some David Blaine and 449 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: type of magic to overcome the loss of Rob Gronkowski. 450 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: How large of a part will Danny Amendola play and 451 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: filling that role the well Julian Edelman has been the 452 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: guy who's seen more targets over the last several weeks. 453 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: But Amendola is going to be a three and most 454 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: fantasy leagues, maybe in PPR leagues he's more of a 455 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: high end, high end three or a low end two. 456 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of throwing in this game, 457 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: and I think he is going to be one of 458 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: the main targets, the guy to really look after Shane Vereen. 459 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: Now you look at the numbers that Tom Brady had 460 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: without Rob Gronkowski, but he also didn't have Shane Vereen 461 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: earlier in this season, and now that Shane Vereen's back, 462 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: he's really taking that role as the red zone targets. 463 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: So I look for him to have a strong week. 464 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: And when you look at the void that's gonna be 465 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: missing with Rob Gronkowski, that's a lot of those seam routes. 466 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: Hid If anybody can run those routes, it's gonna be 467 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Danny Amendola. I think he's gonna get targeted a little 468 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: bit more than he has been in the past few games. 469 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: So this could be a very big game for Danny Amandola. 470 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: And he also dealt with some injuries himself, missing four games. Guys, 471 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: it's Week fifteen in the same storyline continues to repeat itself. 472 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some fantasy starters who owners 473 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: will have to rely on with their replacements to make 474 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: it another week in the fantasy playoffs. So we see 475 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: r G three M j Eddie Lacey, Wills mcgeey, Lamar 476 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: Miller a p all out. So if you take a 477 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: look at those backups there, let's get into those and 478 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: talk about some of their matchups. And Adam, I want 479 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: to start with you and Lamar Miller he had the concussion, 480 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: so they turned to Daniel Thomas. Looked really good last week, 481 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: Yes he did. Actually, he's looked pretty good over the 482 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He's scored at least ten Fantasy 483 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: points in two of his last three games. And now 484 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: you look at the matchup going up against New England Patriots, 485 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: who's really had trouble stopping people on the ground. Everybody, 486 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: it seems, have been able to run on them. I 487 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: think back to the night that No Sean Moreno had 488 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: against him on that Sunday night football game. So that's 489 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: the way the Dolphins are going to have to attack him. 490 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: So Danny Thomas is somebody I can feel confident with 491 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 1: as a flex guy. Moving on here, fas, let's take 492 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: a look at Jordan Todman. He could be the go 493 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: to guy in Jacksonville, m j D. Hampered by a hammy, 494 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: but he has some injury concerns as well. I think 495 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: a shoulder totament. Marie Jones Drew is going to be 496 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: a game time decision on Sunday. So you need to 497 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: pick up Jordan Todman. If you have m j d 498 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: as your r B two or your flex, Todman's got 499 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: a good matchup. The Bills have allowed the eighth most 500 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: fantasy points of running backs over the last four weeks. 501 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: And I will tell you right now, Milly that this 502 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: kid is a sleeper. If he has the featured back 503 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars this week's he is going to be 504 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: a big time sleeper, a potential flex play. Yeah. Before 505 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: we move on to this next one, I just want 506 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: to reiterate that all these players will not be out necessarily, 507 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: just that potentially if they are, these are their replacements 508 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: that you should start in place of them. We like 509 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: their matchups. And moving on, let's take a look at 510 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Chris Obeniah. He should get the lion's share of the 511 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: carries if Willis mcgahey can't go. Yeah, well that's absolutely right. 512 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: When you think about Chris Ogwanya, I mean, this is 513 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: a very good opportunity to go out and ball out 514 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears defense that really has been struggling. 515 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: I know you might be looking at Chris Oldwen I 516 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: a thinking, you know Chris owen I as a guy 517 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: that he saw his fantasy you know, production decrease that 518 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: probably had more to do with his fumbling in weeks 519 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: eleven and week twelve. But when you look at what 520 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: he's done with the opportunities that he's had, he's averaging 521 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: five point three yards per carry in with this offense. 522 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: So I think he's primed to have a very big 523 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: game against the Chicago Bears. And not to mention, this 524 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: defense has just given up so many hundred yard games. 525 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for the Chicago Bears. I think you 526 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: played Chris Ogbaniya and moving on to Green Vet, you 527 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: can certainly do worse than James Starks against that poorous 528 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: Dallas d And if Eddie Lazy is expected to play 529 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: but does have an ankle injury FABS he does, and 530 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: if for some reason or other he is a late 531 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: and active James Starks to me becomes an RB two 532 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: in fantasy leagues. You said at m the Cowboys defense 533 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: is terrible against the run. Look at what Matt Forte 534 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: in Michael Bush did last Monday night. The Cowboys are 535 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: giving up fantasy points to running backs hand over fist 536 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: this season. If Starks is the main guy in Green Bay, 537 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: pick him up and start him something. What does hand 538 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: over fist me? That means a lot. I just I 539 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: don't know that. Alright, we all saw that, just like that. 540 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: It But let's talk about that twenty eight minute news 541 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: conference we saw, of course Kirk Cousins getting the nod 542 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: over RG three the rest of the season. We heard 543 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: that from Mike Shanahan. Adam, how do you like him 544 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective? I really like this as a 545 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: fantasy move if you're somebody who had r G three starting, 546 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: or perhaps you've been waiting for Aaron Rodgers. As a 547 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: matter of fact, I got a call from HR this morning, Christie. 548 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: She called me up. I thought I was in trouble. 549 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: She's like, I need a quarterback to start this week. 550 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: I said, k He's got a great matchup against the Falcons, 551 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: and Falcons a lot allow a lot of fantasy points 552 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: to And the cynic in me believes that Mike Shanahan 553 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: is trying to show off Kirk Cousins for trade baits. 554 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: So perhaps when Mike Shanahan's coaching the Houston Texans next year. 555 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: He'll be like, we should trade for Kirk Cousins. Look 556 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: when he did down the stretch. So a lot of 557 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: a lot of passing attempts coming from him Washington. We 558 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: will continue to see what goes on down There are 559 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting storylines, not just the quarterbacks. Meanwhile, 560 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: fantasy anners don't waste any more time. Go online to 561 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash fantasy to add these replacements coming up. 562 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon or Calvin Johnson who should be the first 563 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: taken in?

This is NFL Fantasy Live. Let's get 578 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: to the top story of the day, revisiting the Jay 579 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: Cutler situation. He will start for the Bears this weekend 580 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: against the Browns. Cutler's missed the last four games. What's 581 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: his fantasy value this weekend? At him? I would feel 582 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: comfortable starting Josh McCown this week. Not so much with 583 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: Ja Keler. I'm worried that could be reinjured, similarly to 584 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: the way the last time he was brushed back in 585 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: the lineup against the Lions. I'm right there with Adam 586 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: I agree I would not start Jake Color this week. 587 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: There's other guys out there at quarterback that I would 588 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: some on the waiver wire, like Kirk Cousinsburds. Here we're 589 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: going to talk about that subject. So Ja Cutler a 590 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: bench player that potentially we shouldn't start this week. But 591 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: let's talk about something that we should. It's a week fifteen. 592 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: Congratulations to everyone who is still alive in the fantasy playoffs. 593 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: But you can't just assume the players you've got you 594 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: into the playoffs are the best plays. This week, guys, 595 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about some on the bench that should get starts, 596 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: and we begin with Ryan Tannehill. Why is he good? 597 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: A good play against the Patriots? I like him as 598 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: a sleeper. How about you? Ryan Tannehill is a very 599 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: good sleeper. Look at his production over the last three 600 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: or four weeks, and then look at the matchup against 601 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. This is a team that gave 602 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: up thirty plus fantasy points to Jason Campbell last week. Molly, 603 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: if you need a quarterback and I do in the 604 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: NFL Celebrity League because I've lost r G three, pick 605 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: up Ryan Tannehill and start him. I didn't drop it. 606 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not even a celebrity on there. On the 607 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: non celebrity in that league. Drop it like it's hot. 608 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Riley Cooper has been one of the best receivers in 609 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: the league over the past month. At him, Yeah, absolutely, 610 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 1: And now he's got a great matchup going up against 611 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. He showed last week he can play 612 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: and weather. Now he's gonna go take advantage of one 613 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: of the most porous past defenses out there. I love 614 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: this play of Riley Cooper. Get him in your lineup. 615 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: He should be in your He should be in your 616 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: starting lineup. Anyways, Harry Douglas and the Falcons host a 617 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: team mired in turmoil when Washington comes to town. Yeah, 618 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: Harry Douglas is a good play at him. I really 619 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: like Harry Douglas. It's that's It's one of those situations 620 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: where the Falcons play so much better at home and 621 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw the ball. I like it. 622 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: At Washington's defense not so good. Those are a few 623 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: bench players you should consider starting. Now. Let's send it 624 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: over to Jason and off Bar with some ideas who 625 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: to sit in favor of those unheralded guys much trap plays. Say, Wow, 626 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: that's impressive. I didn't know you know how to speak Spanish, 627 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: just to part of three years of Spanish in high school. Okay, impressive. 628 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: These are Admiral at Bars trapped plays for Week fifteen 629 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: players who look good in your lineup but should be 630 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: on your fantasy bench. So Admiral take it away. Yeah, 631 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: you know what. I had to spice it up just 632 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, and I'm gonna start with Chris Johnson. Yes, 633 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: fantasy games are on the line and he's the star 634 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: of the team. His game against the Cardinals deserves to 635 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: smell fresh with the confident clean But no, Johnson couldn't 636 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: even average four yards per carry and each of the 637 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: last three games he'll face a dirty challenge Sunday against 638 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: the Arizona stout defense. Don't play c J. Noka. His 639 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: production will take a forty minute shower and missed the 640 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: second half of the game. Strong Enough for a man, 641 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: but made for a woman. So Marcus Coasting and the 642 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: Saints are in St. Louis this week. Last week, Coasting 643 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: called nine passes for twenty five yards and two touchdails. 644 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: He's coming off of a huge game, feeling cool and clean, 645 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: the best he's ever been. He's surrounded by freshness, and 646 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: now you're in a position to win. Actually, never mind, 647 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: before last week, his game has been bottowed up like 648 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: he's in a snow globe in a dollar store. Raise 649 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: your hand if you're sure that's the wrong one too. Sorry, Yes, 650 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: c J. Spiller had an awful week four team against 651 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, rushing for only twenty two yards and catching 652 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: just one pass. When the going gets tough and it's 653 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: just not your day, but the first sin of playing 654 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: the jag words take you to a fresher place. Not 655 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: so fast. Jacksonville's run defense has been on point the 656 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: last four weeks. Be careful with seeing Jake. There are 657 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: some jaguars that are eating his lands.

Very now on 660 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: your trap play so far this season, very good. We're 661 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: trying to bump that number up and six in a 662 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: row for you, so pay attention to Akbar still look. 663 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: Come in NFL Fantasy Live, we'll talk about the impact 664 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins will have on Redskins offense in d C 665 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: and the rest of your burning Fifth Week fifteen questions. 666 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: Is it time to sit receivers like Pierre Garsone?

We'll look at a few best 670 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: to preview who you want on your roster this is 671 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Okay, welcome back to Hell. Fantasy Live. 672 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: Socks by Mrs Fabiano. She makes socks for everybody on 673 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: the show. It's awesome. She doesn't make the socks, she 674 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: purchases them. I feel that's more a bigger gesture. She 675 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: went to the store and said, Adam and Michael would 676 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: like these socks. I'm gonna purchase them, send them to 677 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and they will wear them on the air together. 678 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Fabiano's mom has got it going on. I'll tell you 679 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: that much. Many fantasions were haunted by must start players 680 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: who vanished our bench players that lit up our fantasy 681 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: lineups like Tiny Tim's eyes when Scrooge walked in with 682 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: the turkey at Christmas Dinner. Jason Smith alongside Mrs Fabiano's 683 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: son Michael and Adam right to help you determine which 684 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: fantasy players are gifts from the Ghost of Christmas Past 685 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: and which are from the Ghost of Christmas. Future obviously 686 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: goes to Christmas past means these players have peaked Ghost 687 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: of Christmas. Future means they have big future ahead of 688 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: not only this season, but in future years. Let's kick 689 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: things off with Nick Fole's ghost of Christmas past or future. 690 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: By the way, it was a goose, not a turkey 691 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: in a Christmas carol. And he is definitely the ghost 692 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: of Christmas future. Nick Foles has got a very bright future, 693 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: both for the Philadelphia Eagles and for fantasy football owners. 694 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: How nice We're talking about Christmas and it's snowing outside 695 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: and I want to see dollar looks. Would you stop it? 696 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: It's not a Christmas movie. Nick Foles has got such 697 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: a bright future in this offense of Chip Kelly. The 698 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: quarterback is such an essential part of how this offense works. 699 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: Michael Vicky, listen, you want to talk about the past, 700 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: He's the past. Folds is the future. He's a keeper 701 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: and this is gonna be one of the eight for 702 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: the first eight quarterbacks drafted and just about every fantasy 703 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: league next season. All right, how about Tony Romo right 704 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: because he peaked? He is the ghost of Christmas past 705 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: as and I wish I would have passed on him 706 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: when it was time I turned to draft him in 707 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: our fantasy leagues. Unfortunately, you look at the way this 708 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys line or offense is constructive. They just really don't 709 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: have a good grasp of what they want to do. 710 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: They were able to run the ball against the Chicago Bears. 711 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: They were moving the ball between the twenties to Marco 712 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: Murray was looking, and then they would go to this 713 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: spread when they would get here the goal, like, you 714 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: don't want to keep running it against this team that's 715 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: not stopping you. So they really don't have an offensive identity. 716 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: And unless there is a huge shake up in Dallas 717 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: in the off season, this is gonna be a guy 718 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna avoid in the future. Colin Kaepernick. This 719 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: could be the ghost I fear most of all. Yeah, 720 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: but he's the ghost of Christmas future. Now, a lot 721 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: of people are making comments about Kaepernick being kind of 722 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: a bus but really his only struggles have been against 723 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. If you look at his passer rating 724 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks, it's down somewhere in the forties. 725 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: Against every other team in the league it's up in 726 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: the nineties. So Colin Kaepernick is being very efficient. The 727 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: only problem is is that he's not running the ball enough. 728 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: But he should be able to run a little bit 729 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: more in the future. I like him next year. I 730 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: like him into the future. This is gonna be a 731 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: good quarterback, a guy you can count on year in 732 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: year up right, So there's some of the quarterbacks to 733 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: get to some wide receivers and Allshan Jeffrey certainly is 734 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: someone who's taken the league by storm so far. Playing 735 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: opposite Brandon Marshall. Is he a guy who well he's 736 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: getting success right now or ghost of Christmas future? We're 737 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: gonna talking with him for years. I think we're gonna 738 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: be talking about him for years, well, just as long 739 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: as Mark Trustman as the head coach there in Chicago, 740 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: because he has become the mad offensive scientist. And both 741 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall and outside Jeffrey are putting up phenomenal numbers. 742 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: And Jeffrey is a young guy. This is a kid 743 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: who is still not hit the prime of his career 744 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: is not even close. He could be one of the 745 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: top ten wide receivers drafted next season, and I wouldn't 746 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: be shocked if he's drafted ahead of Brandon Marshall. We'll 747 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: see what happens with the quarterback situation in Chicago, but 748 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: right now, I'll shine Jeffrey's future is looking right, ghost 749 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: of Christmas future, all right, Eddie Lacy, Ryan Key's come 750 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: on this season as a rookie, No Aaron Rodgers. Sometimes 751 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: he struggles to run the football. Where are you with 752 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy? Really like Eddie Lacey's future. He's shown that 753 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback, he can take over 754 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: that offense really moving along. So he is the ghost 755 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: of Christmas future. There's gonna be a solid running back 756 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: to play in Green Bay and for future generations. So 757 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited about what he's got going on. All right. 758 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: Roddy Whites a guy who has really been a conundrum 759 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: this year. He thankfully for fantasy owners. He says, look, 760 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: if I'm not practicing, don't play me. Didn't practice a 761 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: lot this year. He's had a really bad year. He's 762 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: gonna fall through drafts next year. Is Roddy White a 763 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: guy that still has some future? This might surprise you, 764 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: but I'm saying he's the ghost of Christmas future. If 765 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: you look at the way he struggled as you were 766 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: just talking about. This is gonna turn off a lot 767 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: of fantasy enthusiasts. They're not gonna want to draft the 768 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: next season. They're gonna let him fall. But he's gonna 769 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: be somebody like how Jordy Nelson was this season somebody 770 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: who tumbled in fantasy drafts but ended up being very valuable. 771 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: Because you'll draft him in the sixth, seventh, eighth round. 772 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: He'll be kind of an afterthought, but you will end 773 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 1: up playing Roddy White a lot next season. That Falcon's 774 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: offense will rebound, they will not have the problems they 775 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: had this year. They're gonna have a lot of high 776 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: draft picks. Hopefully they use them on the offensive line, 777 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: and that that's gonna be a great pick next year. 778 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great pick next year. Is Ray 779 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: Rice a great pick next year? I say he the 780 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: ghost of a Christmas past. Ray Rice, I believe has 781 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 1: hit his statistical ceiling, and he hit it a couple 782 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: of years ago. He's still not an old running back, 783 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: but this year he just has not been the same player. 784 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: Could be partially because of the hit, could be partially 785 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: because the Ravens offensive line has been awful. But to 786 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: expect him to rebound and become an elite a top 787 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: five fantasy running back again, especially with some of these 788 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: young runners that are in the game right now, I 789 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: just don't see it. Guys. It seems like every year 790 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: we say c J. Spiller is the ghost of Christmas future. 791 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: Next year is gonna be the big one. Next year 792 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be the big one. This was not the 793 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: big one. What about next year he's the ghost of 794 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: Christmas future. He's gonna be the big one. That big Now. 795 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: Of course c J. Spiller was drafted as high as 796 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: second in some fantasy leagues. But he's gonna fall. He's 797 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: gonna tumble another guy like Roddy White. That's just gonna 798 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 1: turn off a lot of fantasy enthusiasts. They're not gonna 799 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: want anything to do with them. They're not gonna want 800 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: to draft him. That's where you swoop in and you 801 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: pick up c J. Spiller. I could see him falling third, 802 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: fourth round somewhere like that. If you have to count 803 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: on c J. Spiller's your flex option, I feel a 804 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: lot more confident with that that I would having to 805 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: draft him as your number one tried in true running back. 806 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: So his future is pretty right, but unfortunately it's not 807 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: as the bell cout it says the flex Jordan Cameron's 808 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: a guy FABS who Yes, it's his rookie year and 809 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: he started out great, but has his value seen in Zenith. 810 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: I really think early in this season he saw his 811 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: ceiling putting up all those touchdowns, and I'm gonna say 812 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: he's a ghost of Christmas Pass because I don't know 813 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: that he's going to be able to put up the 814 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: same kind of numbers in years ahead, especially if there's 815 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 1: changes at the quarterback puisition, which there will be changes 816 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: at the coaching spots with potentially North Turner. So I'm 817 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little down on on Jordan's Cameron's future. Like 818 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: him now next year not so much, of course, camera 819 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: not a rookie his first year getting extended playing time, 820 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: which is why I said that. So yeah, so stock 821 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: down on Jordan Cameron, who we love going into the 822 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: season we did. I still love him.

Time 834 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: now for our burning questions. When you see that burning 835 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: question mark, you know what it is. We're trying to 836 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: make sense of all the major storylines throughout the NFL 837 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: this weekend. Nothing bigger than the benching of r G 838 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: three for the rest of the season. Kirk Cousins takes 839 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: over a quarterback off bar. How's the Redskins offense affected 840 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: by this? Well, it's gonna be simple when you look 841 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: at Mike Shanahan and what he's gonna do for this office. 842 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna have Kirk Cousin thrown to all five wide receivers, 843 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: So that means all of a sudden, you know, when 844 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: you look at the only wide receiver you're really looking 845 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: at this game is Pierre Garson. He's gonna have to 846 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: spread in. What he really does is he talks about 847 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: spreading it to sideline to siline. That's a very hard 848 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: task for a young quarterback to do. What he will 849 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: accomplish that the running game will help to support him 850 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: in the in the past in game, of course, we 851 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: know Shanahan believes in the one cut or your cut 852 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: type of run offense, so you better make that one 853 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: cut to help with the passes. Speaking of the running game, 854 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: I'm expecting a big week from Alfred Morris Freddy Morris 855 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: as you like to call him, Adam. This is a 856 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: great matchup. Atlanta's run defense has not been good, and 857 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: he will want Morris to support Kirk Cousins in that 858 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: running game. Yeah, Garson stats with Cousins and r G 859 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: three about the same. What kind of starts Kirk Cousins. 860 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: Kirk Custins is a sleeper. I wouldn't be surprised if 861 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people pick up Kirk Cousins and start him, 862 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: especially if you had r G three, if you've had 863 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. This is a great matchup, and we've seen 864 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks this year come in out of nowhere and 865 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: put up good numbers. Elliot Harrison said on Wednesday's NFL 866 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live he would take Josh Gordon before Calvin Johnson 867 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: ifen draft was today. So rank, who's your number one 868 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver? Off the board. Next year, I would stick 869 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: with Calvin Johnson right there, and I might even move up, 870 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, somebody like al Shan Jeffrey and somebody somebody 871 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: like that. The problem with Josh Gordon, the one thing 872 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: that I would hesitate is that you've got to remember 873 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: that he spent the first two games of the season 874 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: on the sidelines because he was suspended. So that's a 875 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: little bit of a concern. With all things being equal, 876 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hate Calvin Johnson because it hasn't been a 877 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: problem with him. He's been good year and year out, 878 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have that cloud looming over him. Yeah, 879 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: if he has a transgression, that's four games. That's the 880 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: beginning your fantasy season. There's a lot more than just 881 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: on the field with Josh Gordon. All right, you want 882 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: some starts and sits, ask and you shall receive. It's 883 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: Christmas season from miracles. THEO just a minute left, so 884 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna put sixty seconds on the clock and get 885 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: into our Nohaudle offense up. First start or sit Tom 886 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: Brady against the Dolphins. Fab I am going to start 887 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: him because I'm playing him against Adam Rank and Adam 888 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: has Tom in his league of record. So I want 889 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: you to be conflicted. Stuff. I bet him. Tom Brady 890 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: has stone nineteen interceptions against the Dolphins, twelve of those 891 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: on the road.
