1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Wow, um WoT, what is up? Welcome to another edition

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast. Media man named g

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabriano,

4
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: and uh we were we were in the home stretch

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: of the fantasy regular season right now. Yeah, dude, it's

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: like this time of the year when you start to

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: feel a little bit burned out because we've been doing

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: this like every day every week since like August. I mean,

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: we could be digging ditches, so I'm not complaining, but yeah,

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: you get into that stretch. Run here in a couple

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 1: of weeks. You got Thanksgiving, the three games on Turkey Day,

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: one of which will be my Cowboys losing. Um, we

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: do the Cowboys playing things, that doesn't matter. We may

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: end up losing like our next five games in a row.

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: So depressing. I remember when being a Cowboys fan was fun.

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't that long ago. You guys are

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: like thirteen and three. Yeah, I know, but then what happened?

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: The future looked bright. I mean, you know, you out

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, yet a young running bag, this a

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: great offensive line. Everything looked great. And uh, by the

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: way life comes at you fast has caught it. That

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: could have changed our fortunes if the call went for

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I get Rogers would have time to

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe come down and take the game regardless. But if

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: he didn't, then we go to Seattle where we potentially

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks. We beat them in Seattle earlier that season,

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: and then we go to the super Bowl, and I'm

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot happier. Yeah, yeah, you're right, but but instead

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I do Miss Tony Rome, I can tell you that instead,

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: you know, I'm left with a weird rule. Guys, Jason

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Garrett at leastybe. We'll have a new head coach next season, Yes,

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: new offensive Jason Garrett. Yeah, that's how you gotta cheer

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: the gun. You gotta clap even if you just slammed whatever.

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, play and talking about but first we'll go

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: behind the glass. Is always to Sir Edward L. Murphy,

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Esquire Murph, what's up? I'm with you, guys. It's it's

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: crazy to look at the paper and be like Week

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: ten preview double digits and then that, like you said,

39
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: we've been talking with this stuff since you know, July August,

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: and Alison we were here and now you were like

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the part of the fantasy season where you're probably overthinking everything.

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: She's like, Oh, I'm so close to plash, but like,

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out my seating. I gotta like which

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: guy's gonna help me out because all the bye weeks

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: and it's very, very stressful. You know, you talk about

46
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: overthinking to somebody. Somebody tweeted at me recently and asked

47
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: if they should trade away their Rams because they were

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: worried about Sean MCNs setting everybody during the Fantasy playoffs.

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, don't, don't. They're not gonna sit everybody

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: for a month. It's not the Rams haven't locked anything up.

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, they're eight in one, but

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean they just lost New Orleans is good obviously

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: so and look and like I said, they're not going

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: to like for the Fantasy playoffs is about fourteen fifteen,

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna sit. It doesn't happen anymore. Like I remember

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: back years ago where like and I mentioned this before,

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: like where the Colts always wrapped up the a f

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: C and you lost Peyton Manning in week sixteen or

59
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison or Edge. It doesn't happen that much any more.

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Because of the schedule, the way that teams are playing

61
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: other division opponents during that time of the season. They're

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: big games. The schedule makers are smarter now well. And

63
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: then on top of it, if you are a team

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: that gets a one or a two seed and you

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: have that first round, by then you're talking about guys

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: not playing for two or three weeks at a time,

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: like it just it just doesn't happen. Like Belichick, he

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: never does that schedule, I mean to just looking at

69
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it quickly. They'll play the Seahawks, They'll play the Chiefs,

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Lines, the Eagles, like those are all

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: key games. Those are really really talk games that you

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: cannot afford to bench your starters for. Nope, Nope. And

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: in the a f C you want to say either,

74
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: because I mean, the Chiefs and the Patriots are neck

75
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: and neck, right, So you don't So don't ever think this, folks,

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: is what we're saying. Um, it's gonna be fine. So

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: we will do a week to in the preview, pull

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: some of your tweets as well, and he's got his

79
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: delirious pick. But in the meantime, let's do some news.

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Let's let's start with the big moves. Of course, does

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Bryant is now a New Orleans Saint. He signed a

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: one year deal with the Saints earlier in the week. Uh,

83
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: it is a long shot for him to play this

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: week against the Cincinnati Bengals, but we can expect that

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: in week with eleven or or by week we eleven.

86
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: I believe we will see him on the field in

87
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Week thirteen Dallas Cowboys. Um, everyone's gonna be all Overdaz

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: that week. He's just an auto start that week, right, Like,

89
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: I feel like he's an auto start because Sean Payton

90
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: is going to feed him the football as many times

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: as possible. But in non Cowboys games, how are we

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: feeling about does? I'm I'm kind of lukewarm on him, Like,

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: I get it, it's Des Bryant, but I mean, this

94
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: is a receiver who hasn't had nine or more yards

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: in three straight seasons. It's a guy who averaged eleven

96
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: point six PPR points last season. That's not great. He

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: hasn't been a great wide receiver since Tony Romo is

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback at the Cowboys. He struggle think it open

99
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: against man coverage last year. And I mean, what are

100
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: they gonna do move them into the slot. In New Orleans.

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: I mean that Cam Meredith was predominantly running his routes

102
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: out of the slot, but last year Des ran only

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: about twenty of his out of the slot. He's not

104
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: a slot receiver. So I don't know, like it's good

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: for real football in terms of the value of the

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: Saints and Drew Brees, but for days like I added

107
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: him in one league, and I didn't rush to add

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: him in that league either, and it was a speculative ad,

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: and I honestly just don't feel great about him becoming

110
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: a weekend and week out fantasy starter, even in New Orleans,

111
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: even with Brees strowing on the football. Yeah, I mean

112
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I feel like. I feel like,

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: you know, PPR leagues, he's still getting you, you know,

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: maybe nine ten points. It's not great. I mean that

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: that's the average the Marius Thomas like in terms of

116
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: his stats. That's what he's gonna be. And what what

117
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: frustrates me, what makes me kind of sad about it

118
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: is though I think it really deals a blow to

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: trade Kwon Smith, who was a guy that I started

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: to like the last couple of weeks and was trying

121
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: to add in certain places. I think that's Bryant being

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: in New Orleans really makes traite Kuwan Smith a hard

123
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: guy to to start, at least it certainly to start,

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: maybe even hold onto on your roster just because those

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of targets that are probably gonna come

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: out of his pocket now, yeah, no doubt. And they

127
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: put Meredith on I r he. I remember a lot

128
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: of people who are excited about him signing with the

129
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Saints back in the back in the off season, and

130
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: that did not work at all at all. Uh. Sam

131
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Donald is dealing with a foot injury. He's going to

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: miss Week ten for the New York Jets in their

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: game against the Buffalo Bills. So it's a simple question,

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: do you start would you stream Josh McCown. Isn't that crazy?

135
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: Like it's funny because typically, right, I mean like when

136
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback goes down, you're typically not starting

137
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the number two quarterback and replaces him. But in this case,

138
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the number two quarterback is a better fantasy quarterback. In fact,

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Josh mc cown last season, I believe he had five

140
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: or six games with over eighteen fantasy points. Like there

141
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: was a stretcher. He was really good. Now I don't

142
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: know that I'm starting, maybe if I'm an two QB

143
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: league and I've got a guy on a buy or

144
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: if I'm in a super flex league. But I think

145
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the biggest impact that this has is Robby Anderson, who

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: is banged up right now, so I don't know if

147
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be healthy to play this week against the Bills.

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: And it's a bad matchup. But I liked the Bills

149
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: defense a lot because Sam Donald was turning the ball

150
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: over a ton, and now I can't start him. So

151
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: I had to go in and I went and I

152
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: picked up the Patriots in one league. I pick up

153
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: the Niners in one league, I said the Packers in

154
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: one league. I picked up the Colts in another league

155
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: because I had a lot of shares with the Bills

156
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: because Donald. I mean, the Bills have the best matchup

157
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: for fantasy defenses, but the Jets have been very close

158
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: in terms of being just as favorable. But now that

159
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Donald's out right, it's so weird that the number one

160
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: quarterback goes down and then everyone thinks the number cure

161
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: the number two quarterbacks actually better, Like you know, it's

162
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I think it's like the it's like the Ryan Fitzpatrick principal, right,

163
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: like Josh McCown because the last time we saw him

164
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: last year, he played really well for the Jets, and

165
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: he certainly played better than anyone would have expected him to. Uh,

166
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: And I think the hope is that he just doesn't

167
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: turn the ball over a ton. But I think you've

168
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: got to be in a really deep league, you've got

169
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: to be in a two quarterback league before you're actually

170
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: considering Josh McCown this week. But it's an interesting look.

171
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: At least we'll see. We'll see that it turns out. Yeah,

172
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: every time I hear his name, I think of the

173
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Hartford Colonials, Okay, because that I mean, I guess. They're

174
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: a professional football organization from my home state in Connecticut,

175
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: and McCown was the starting quarterback for them. This is

176
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: like eight years ago, and their head coach was Chris Palmer.

177
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: Oh wow, former Brown's coach Chris Palmer. Sir wow. I

178
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: don't know where they played their games, but um, I'm

179
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: sure the attendance was not. He is. He really is.

180
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: The Dictionary definition of a journeyman has been. He's been

181
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: all over the place, yea Fitzpatrick too. Fitzpatrick. Now that's

182
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: a different story. Another guy, that's a that's a different story.

183
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: The Vikings have claimed former Lions running back a Mirror

184
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Abdullah who was let go by the Detroit Lions. I

185
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: do look the fact that the Lions went from a

186
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Mirror Abdullah to zag center. They went from double A

187
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: to double Z. Yeah. Uh, they spanned the whole alphabet

188
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: with their running back situation. But the Vikings, now the

189
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: Amco commercial just went through basically, Um, a mere dual

190
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: is now in Minnesota. There's no real value here, right,

191
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: He's just he's a body. Yes, they cut Rock Thomas, right,

192
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: so I mean he's just a body. Like Yeah, he's

193
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: just had some depth the way Dalvin Cook looked last

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: week and every including yourself, Marcus uh, and I have

195
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I have him in a league too, very excited, especially

196
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: on that seven yard run where he was at a

197
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: max of twenty two point one miles, which is the

198
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: fastest of any ball carrier in the NFL, and that

199
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: includes Trek Hill this season. I mean, so it's um,

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: it's good to see Cook back, and I can't see

201
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: a mere Dula suddenly coming in and taking Cooks or

202
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: Murray's touches moving because I mean Murray has played well too.

203
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: When Cook was hurt, he stepped in and he ran

204
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: the ball well. So just probably a depth play for

205
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: the Vikings in case something were to happen. Um Geronimo

206
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Allison is on injured reserve, so his season is over.

207
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I think we've talked plenty about Marquez Valdez Scantling. He's

208
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: the next guy that steps up. Uh, if you're any

209
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: deeply do you take a speculative run at Equanimius st

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Brown or just kind of passed that one unless I

211
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: get fantasy points for wide receivers with very long names.

212
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: Now I don't. I mean Randall Cobb is still there.

213
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: He's He's been in and out of the lineup. But

214
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I think MVS like as much as I've said a

215
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago that like Nick Chubb could be

216
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: a league winner for people who are lucky enough to

217
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: pick him up. I think the same thing of Marcus

218
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: Valdes Scanley. He has shown the ability to stretch defense.

219
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: He's clearly got a rapport with Aaron Rodgers. He's got

220
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgerston on the football who some would argue was

221
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback on the planet right now. And it

222
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who the opponent is because Rogers is just

223
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: so good. He's matchup proof and he makes these wide receivers.

224
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean, how many careers as he made at the

225
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver position during his career in Green Bay. He

226
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: has made so many. I think m mvs is just

227
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: going to continue to benefit. I mean I have him

228
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: as a borderline wide receiver to this week, uh for

229
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: a matchup against the Dolphins. There we go, uh, you know,

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: avoid avoid Equanimius, Go get MVS if he's out there

231
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: in your league. Toronto Alison, who was having a pretty

232
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: good year. I really liked him to break out. Hopefully

233
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: we will see him back stronger next year. Now, that

234
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: is pretty much everything you need to know. You know,

235
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,640

Speaker 1: Bowl Votes all right. Week ten is upon us. It

242
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: actually kicks off well, as we're recording this, it kicks

243
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: off in a couple of hours. By the time you

244
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: hear this podcast may have already been played. But there

245
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: are plenty of other games going on four teams on

246
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: a by this week, so that means to less games,

247
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: but still plenty to talk about. Starts Cincinnati, the Saints,

248
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. And I mean, we know that all

249
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: the Saints, you know, primaries, you're you're starting all those guys, Breeze, Thomas,

250
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, Camera, etcetera, etcetera. Um, but when you look

251
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: at the other side and there's no a J. Green

252
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: and it's an offense that you know, there's so many

253
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: guys hurt and missing. Could you make a case to

254
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: maybe start the Saints defense this week if you're a

255
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: bold fantasy owner and there is nothing on the waiper whire.

256
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like I just gave you like three or

257
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: four defenses to play. But I could absolutely see starting

258
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: the Saints like over the Bills this week because of

259
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: the Josh McCown, the Josh McCown news, I could see

260
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I could see starting the I could see starting the Saints.

261
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I want to think, if I want to actually say

262
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: this or not I could see starting them over the Jaguars.

263
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: That's spice in Indianapolis. A j boy is still banged up.

264
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean I could see it. I could see it

265
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: so and that's part of the reason why I kind

266
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: of I'm not I get it, Like the matchups really good.

267
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: But John Ross, I mean, I don't know, Like, what

268
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: does the Andy Dalton have to work with here? Like,

269
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: to me, here's what the Bengals need to do to

270
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: avoid getting their doors blown off in this game. Run

271
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon and then run Joe Mixon, and then run

272
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon some more because they need to keep the

273
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: ball out of the hands of Drew Brees. And you

274
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: know what, maybe that's a good thing for the Saints defense,

275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: because the Saints defense has actually been pretty decent against

276
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: the run. But I do think they are a deep

277
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: sleeper defense this week. Um yeah, I mean there's I

278
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: was looking at it. I'm like, you know, there's there's

279
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: an outside case. I mean, you know, but I think

280
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: it is. It's sort of a desperation play. But you know,

281
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: I could I could see people doing it and maybe

282
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: having some success. So then that begs the question, is

283
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: this a good Andy Dalton week or a bad Andy

284
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Dalton week because of all those things you just talked.

285
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: I think it's a mediocre Andy Dalton week. Like I'm

286
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: an a league where I have to play him and

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: I and I should be more excited because the matchup

288
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: is good, but I'm not because he has no A J.

289
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Green And uh. Graham Barfield had mentioned on Monday that

290
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: in ten career games without a J. Green, Andy Dalton's

291
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: averaged one touchdown pass per game. Uh, And I looked

292
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: up the numbers. He's averaging fewer than fifteen fantasy points

293
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: per game without a J. Green. And you know, I

294
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: get it. He's got Tyler Boyd who who should remain

295
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: in the slot again, John Ross, I just think that

296
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has to run the football. I think they have.

297
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: I think they have to try it. Just you know,

298
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the Saints run defense has been legitimately good this year,

299
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: which you know will make it difficult. Look, I see

300
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: a situation like with John Ross. I could totally see

301
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: him popping one big play, right, There's a breakdown and coverage,

302
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: somebody slips and falls whatever, and John Ross, like you know,

303
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: ends up with like a forty yard touchdowns and like

304
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: that that's about as far as like a trust John

305
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Ross this week. Uh. And and as much as I

306
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: like Tyler Boyd's opportunity, I do still wonder, you know,

307
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: what is it going to be like with him as

308
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: the number one guy? You know, can he operate when

309
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: he has more attention on him, when he's gonna face

310
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, when he's going to draw the top dB

311
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: on the other side because there is no a J

312
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Green Um. I still think they'll try to force him

313
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: the ball. I am. I am cautiously optimistic about his production.

314
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: By the way, quick update here Ian Rappaport reporting that

315
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Levian Bell is in Pittsburgh and the Steelers quote want

316
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: him back badly. Okay, that's cool. You know who doesn't

317
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: want I mean that anybody with James Conner on their

318
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: roster doesn't want him. Uh but yeah, by the way,

319
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown showed up and he's wearing a giant fur coat,

320
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: so is he apparently do you think he was wearing

321
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the furred coat when he was driving a hundred and

322
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: whatever miles? I feel like it would cause some wind drag,

323
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: so maybe not like and I think that was like

324
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: on a was that on a surface street to like,

325
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, regular surface street. I'd be afraid to go

326
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: sixty on a surface street. He's going a hundred plus

327
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: in a Porsche. I mean, dude, hey, yeah, driver, like

328
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: you got it. I guess on the surface tree. Let's

329
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: see falcons at Brown's again. You're starting all of your

330
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: main falcons, you know, Matt Ryan, uh, Julio Jones, Kevin Coleman,

331
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: so on so forth. Do you stream Austin Hooper? That

332
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of it depends on what you have, because, like

333
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: we've been talking about how the tight end position has

334
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: been so thin all season long, it's starting to bulk

335
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: up a little bit, right because Greg Olson is back

336
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: to being a very good fantasy option. Jack Doyle's back

337
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: before the bye, had a very good week. You've got O. J. Howard,

338
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: who is becoming a fantasy superstar. You've got George Kittle

339
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: who's becoming a fantasy superstar. I mean, I'm still playing

340
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham over Hooper. I'm playing Trade Burden over Hooper.

341
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: Maybe not Jared Cook, he just I don't know. Yeah,

342
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: so so i'd say he's probably like at the end

343
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: of the top ten, it's wealth tight ends for the week,

344
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: and um, I mean, the good news is that there

345
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: should be some points scored in that game. Cleveland's defense

346
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: has been banged up in terms of their defensive backfield,

347
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: But I say he's more of a back end one,

348
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: all right. Uh, I was looking at this last night.

349
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry has been disappointing recently, just not a whole

350
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of production. He's you know, for standard leagues, he's

351
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: been in single digits. And let me look at this.

352
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: What five what are these standard leagues that you speak of?

353
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: But even in PPR he hasn't been all that great

354
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: now been underwhelming? Is this a do or die week

355
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: for him? Because he's got Atlanta, which on paper is

356
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: a really good matchup. After that and so then he

357
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: has to buy next week. And then there's Cincinnati, which

358
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: on paper again another good matchup. But after that got

359
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: the Texans, the Panthers, the Broncos. I mean, that's I think,

360
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: run a really bad bad games running starting into the playoffs.

361
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if it doesn't happen for him this week,

362
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: what do you do? What kind of depth you have?

363
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, can you really afford to to sit a

364
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: guy like Jarvis Landry? You can always try and package

365
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: him in a deal that that's what I like to do.

366
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: You do the two for one. Uh, maybe try to

367
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: get a better wide receiver if you include Landry and

368
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: a lesser player to another position. But this, this is

369
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: a good matchup. As you mentioned, you're talking about a

370
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: game against the team in the Atlanta Falcons who have

371
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: given up I believe, the fourth most PPR points to

372
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: slot receivers. And Landry's still seeing volume. He's still averaging

373
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: eleven point four targets a game, so it's not like

374
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: he's being completely ignored in the offense by Baker Mayfield.

375
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: So maybe the maybe the play here Marcus is he

376
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: has a good game against Atlanta and after the bye

377
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: week you look to try and sell high on him.

378
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: But I mean like he was on my list of

379
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: the bigger busts of the season because there was no

380
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: way he was scoring nine touchdowns again nowhere, I think

381
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: he has two this year. You know, it's funny because

382
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us because I didn't think

383
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: you'd have a huge year. It hasn't played out quite

384
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: the way I thought. I figured he wouldn't have a

385
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: big year because there were too many other weapons, right,

386
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: because we thought Josh Gordon was going to be there.

387
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: We thought Duke Johnson was going to be more of

388
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: a factor. Earlier in the year. We thought maybe Antonio

389
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: Callaway or somebody else was going to be a big factor. Uh,

390
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: you know none of those guys. You know, Callaway has

391
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: done nothing. Josh Gordon gets shipped out, Duke Johnson was

392
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: m I a really until last week. Um, So the

393
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: fact that that Jarvis Landry hasn't done much has kind

394
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: of been a surprise to me, just because there was

395
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: a time when it felt like he was kind of

396
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: the only thing in the passing game this week this year.

397
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, And it's funny too because last year he

398
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he only had nine seven yards. It wasn't

399
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: like he had twelve thirty yards. It was all about

400
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: his catches and his touchdowns. And this year his receptions

401
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: are on pace to be down, his touchdowns are on

402
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: pace to be way down. But his yardage he's got

403
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: five seventy eight after nine games, So I mean he's

404
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of right on pace to maybe equal what he

405
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: did last season. So yeah, I don't know, Jervis Landry

406
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: just it's been frustrating if you have him, So I

407
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: I hear you. This is a bigger This is a

408
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: big week Lions at the Bears. Are there any Lions

409
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: you can start? I mean, like I guess Marvin Jones,

410
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't like Galladay this week the Bears. You know,

411
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: you see that matchup and you're like, oh man, you know,

412
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: do not want? Do not want? And there's a good

413
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: reason for that. I mean, especially when you're talking about

414
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers playing at Soldier Field. I mean, this

415
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: is a defense that since Week one when they played

416
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: the Packers in that game where Aaron Rodgers came back

417
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: heroically and beat them. Uh, they've given up one receiver

418
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: that's been better than twenty one and fantasy points one

419
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: since that Week one game where they gave up two.

420
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: I believe it was to top fifteen guys. Randall Colls

421
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: mostly his came on one play right, and they're not.

422
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and at home they're they're even tougher. So

423
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: like Golladay is a fade for me this week, I'm

424
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: not starting carry On Johnson against that defense. Theoretics a

425
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 1: dart throwing a PPR league. I mean, Matthew Stafford has

426
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: gone from being a guy who's almost always in the

427
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: top eight the end of the season among quarterbacks to

428
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: a guy who may not finish in the top twelve.

429
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: I mean, his numbers have been bad. He's been on

430
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: my sit list for weeks. He's on my sit list

431
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: again this week. So no, there's not a lot of

432
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: Lions to like. The only guy that I would start

433
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: with any kind of confidence this week is probably Marvin Jones,

434
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be super confident in him either. Yeah,

435
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how how excited I am about Marvin

436
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Jones either. I think I'm starting him as a flex

437
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: in one league, but I'm not super excited about it. Um.

438
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: So it's starting to get cold. They're they're they're expecting

439
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: snow flurries over the weekend. Perhaps in Chicago. Kick off

440
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: on Sunday, temperatures will be in the upper thirties, maybe

441
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: topping out around forty degrees. Is this the start of

442
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard season in Chicago? Well, I mean maybe it

443
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: was last week. I mean he had a couple of

444
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week. The Lions are given up i mean

445
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: six point three yards per rush and an average of

446
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: more than thirty one PPR points per game this season.

447
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: So the matchup is great. You would think game script

448
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: would be in his favorite too, because I don't see

449
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Detroit going out and putting on a big lead on

450
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: the Bears its soldier field, So everything sort of is

451
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: playing in Jordan Howard's favorite this week. I'm Tarik Cohen too.

452
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: I think obviously in PPR leagues, maybe he's even more

453
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: valuable than Howard this week. But both of these guys

454
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: are very startable assets because the Alliance can't stop the run.

455
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: Is Mitch Rubisky a good quarterback? Is he a good

456
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback? I mean he's put up good numbers. I

457
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: mean I don't. I don't love him this week. I

458
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: have him like right outside of my top twelve. I

459
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: think he's like twelve or thirteen at quarterback. And I

460
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: was wrong about him last week because I mean, the

461
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: game script went so in favor of Chicago's ground game

462
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: that Drubisky didn't have to do anything and he didn't

463
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: run the ball either. I mean, so that's but that's

464
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: where like Drabinsky. I mean, if he's given me four

465
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: or five points as a runner every week, then I

466
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: gotta feel pretty confident that he's gonna give me a

467
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: round eighteen. But this week again, I don't know that

468
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: game script doesn't sort of go in favor of Jordan

469
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: Howard and the running game where Drobisky doesn't really have

470
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: to do too much of anything. Nathan Peterman actually had

471
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: more passing yards than Mitro Trubisky last week, and Peterman

472
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: actually was decent as a runner too, right, which is

473
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the only thing that otherwise it was You're not starting

474
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman, right, I don't even want I don't want

475
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: to plant that seed or anything. Cardinals at the Chiefs.

476
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Is this the DJ game? Is this the DJ game

477
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for. I mean you would think so.

478
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: The one thing, Marcus, the one thing, and you know what,

479
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: we talked about it all the time, the one thing

480
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: that could put a real sort of wrench into DJ's

481
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: potential breakout game game script. And I get it, he's

482
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: a guy who can catch the ball out of the backfield.

483
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: But if the Chiefs are killing the Cardinals, then I

484
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: mean you kind of have to be a little bit

485
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: concerned about David Johnson giving you that big number. So

486
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: but the matchup is awesome, right, I Mean, the Chiefs

487
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: are terrible against running backs, so on paper, they should

488
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: be a very productive week for t J. I'm just

489
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: curious what Byron Leftwich has come up with in the bye.

490
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: Right they had a week off, he had a chance

491
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: that you know, we saw him just before the bye

492
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: against the forty niners, and we saw more David Johnson,

493
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: we saw Larry Fitzgerald come back and have a big game.

494
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: So now they've had a week off for for Byron

495
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Leftwitch to look at tape to kind of come up

496
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: with some place to figure out some new things. And

497
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: I just I just wonder if if maybe they figured

498
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: something out. But it also is like, so would you

499
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: would you stream Josh Rosen this week because the matchup

500
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: again is good for him, but his numbers so far

501
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: haven't been all that great. No, I can't do that,

502
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: and like I get it. Like the game before the bye,

503
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: I think he had eighteen, so it was a decent game.

504
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: But no, I can't. I can't do it. I can't

505
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: do it. UM report just comes out here that Art Rooney,

506
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: the second um on Sirius x m NFL RADI you

507
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: uh quoted as saying that, um, we expect Levian Bill

508
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: to be back next week. All right, Well, there we go. On,

509
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Uh would you stream? Okay, so if you're not streaming

510
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, would you stream the Chiefs defense? Oh dude,

511
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: heck yeah no, I mean no doubt about that. I've

512
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: tried to pick up the Jets in the Chiefs in

513
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: every league this week, and I was successful in a

514
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: couple the the I get it, like, the Bills have

515
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: been the best target for fantasy defenses this season, but

516
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have been bad too, Like they have a

517
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: lot of thirteen sacks, They're committing an average of three

518
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: turnovers a game in their last four weeks, and defenses

519
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: in that time have averaged seventeen fantasy points a game

520
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: against them. And I like Josh Rosen long term. He's

521
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: still an inexperienced quarterback who's making mistakes and turning the

522
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: ball over and the offensive line is not doing them

523
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: any favors. So the Chiefs could end up being a

524
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: better play this week than the Jets. It's close. Yeah,

525
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be. It's funny because this is like the

526
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Chief's defense is sort of like it's like Jesse Pinkman

527
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: and breaking bad. Right at the beginning of breaking bad,

528
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: Like you don't really like Jesse, Like this kind of

529
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: a loser or whatever, and then by the end you're

530
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: like you're really on that dude side. You're like, hey, man, Jesse,

531
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: I hope you hope everything works out for you. Like

532
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: this is sort of like the Chiefs at the beginning

533
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: of the year, like this, even this is bad, stay

534
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: away from him, and now here we are in week

535
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: ten or like yeah, start him, like no, grab him,

536
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: put him in. They're they're good. Their defense almost always

537
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: seems to be fantasy relevant, like whether it's been like

538
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: the best defense or maybe it's just in the top ten.

539
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: And this season started off where we thought this was

540
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a bottom feeder and they've turned things around.

541
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: And it's a home game, so there you go, Patriots

542
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: at the Titans. So I was trying to come up

543
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: with something about the Patriots and the one thing that

544
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: that's stuck with me is is Gronk, who has not

545
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: been gronky this year? Right now, how many tight ends

546
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: would you start over Rob Gronkhouse, I don't know, is

547
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: he playing like, I mean, he's been made right, So

548
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: like so let's see, you're starting Kelsey over him, you

549
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: start Barts over him, right, You're starting Kiddle over him.

550
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: You're starting Bolson over him, right, O. J. Howard? Okay,

551
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: and then it gets to be tough, like I mean,

552
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm starting Doyle or I'd probably

553
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: start him over in Joku, I'd start him over Graham,

554
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: I'd start him over read. Um, so I mean still top,

555
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: it's still that's still I mean that's five guys, potentially

556
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: six or seven guys that you would start. That's it

557
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: ahead of Gronk. And again, i mean, look, think about

558
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: this time last year, Kelsey and maybe Earth were the

559
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: only man you would even consider, right, I mean, you

560
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: nobody knew who George Kittle was, you know. O. J.

561
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: Howard was kind of a you know, he was a

562
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: one one plague guy basically. Um. Yeah, it's just and

563
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: it's it's partially because Gronk has not been healthy. Right,

564
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: just to watch him play you can see that he's

565
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: not a dent and it has certainly limited him. But

566
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: it's it's also got to the point where the Patriots

567
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: have sort of learned to be successful without relying on him.

568
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that you know, Gronk was that

569
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: guy in in Dave Damage parlance, he was the jinga

570
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: piece right, who always talked about if Gronk wasn't there,

571
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: then the whole thing falls apart. In this year, Gronk,

572
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: for all intent purposes, hasn't really been there, and the

573
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Patriots offense just keeps rolling along. So they figured out

574
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: how to how to survive without him. I do think

575
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: though they won't arrest him and try to get him

576
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: healthy for their own playoff run sure, which hopefully will

577
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: coincide with a fantasy playoff run. Make sure that he's

578
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: just ready to go for weeks, you know, those last

579
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: few weeks of the regular season to be back on

580
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: the field. Um. Dan Lewis, Oh yeah, And Dan Low

581
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: has been good man like if you if you bought

582
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: a bought low on him, like a few weeks ago,

583
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: brilliant because in his last two games twenty two point

584
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: two against my Cowboys and then twenty one point five

585
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, he's getting more touches, he's catching the

586
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: ball more often out of the backfield. Maybe things are

587
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: starting to finally connect in that offense under Matt law

588
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: war Um and I absolutely would play him this week.

589
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's a flex start, no question about that

590
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: against his old squad yeah. You know, it also helps

591
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: that you know, Derrick Henry is less of a thing

592
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: that I think even the even the Titans to sort of. Yeah,

593
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: I think they're starting to fade Derrick Henry, So that

594
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: that helps. If you've got the beyond Lewis play on

595
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: your roster. Washington at Tampa, is there anyone you can

596
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: really trust? I mean, it's such a great matchup for

597
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and all these guys, But can you really

598
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: trust anyone besides Adrian Peterson in this game? Can you

599
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: trust Adrian Peterson? I mean I think you can. I

600
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: think I think they feed him the rock a lot

601
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: this week. So here here and I get it like

602
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: on paper, here's here's where I'm worried about Peterson. One.

603
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 1: They're down three offensive linemen, okay three um, Alex Smith

604
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: is a threat to do nothing through the air, so

605
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay could really stack the front against ap And

606
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: not to mention, the Buccaneers are giving up eleven fewer

607
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game in PPR leagues to run backs

608
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: on their home field than they are on the road,

609
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes defenses just played better on their home turf.

610
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: So I wonder also if this is in the game

611
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: script issue for Peterson because I think, I honestly think

612
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: the Redskins are a paper team. They're gonna get wrecked

613
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: this week. I think they're gonna have a lot of

614
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: trouble stopping that Buccaneers offense. They got destroyed by Matt

615
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: Ryan last week on their home field, and they have

616
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: not been good over the last month or so on

617
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. So who's to say

618
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: that the Buccaneers and their high flying offense. I get it,

619
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: they don't have a good defense, but they end up

620
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: putting up points in the first half and the Redskins

621
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: suddenly have to throw the football to catch up. I'm

622
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you played Peterson, but I don't

623
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: necessarily think he's a lock to put up a good line. Now,

624
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: the other player in Washington who I would tell you

625
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: to pick up and play is Maurice Harris. Uh lead

626
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the team in targets last week and fantasy points among

627
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers. He's running most of his routes out of

628
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: the slot. But Jamison Crowder returned to practice on a

629
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: limited basis on Thursday. So if Crowder comes back and

630
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Crowder is not limited, then maybe Crowder becomes the guy

631
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: that you put in a near line up ahead of

632
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: Maurice Harris, but keep tabs on the status of Crowder

633
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days. Yeah, you know, just

634
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: this Washington Offen has been such a disappointment this year. Yes,

635
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: and Chris Thompson, like, I mean, you just can't stay

636
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: that is that is one of the guys you know,

637
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: like I've done like rant the rant on Matt Breeda,

638
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: how frustrating he is. But like Chris Thompson too, because

639
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: this guy came out and it was great to begin

640
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: this season, and you're thinking, oh my goodness, gracious, I

641
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: took this guy in the seventh or eighte round and

642
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna ball for me all the season long. He

643
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: can't stay healthy, Marcus, he can't stay healthy. He just can't.

644
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: And you know it's he's struggling to get back. He's

645
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: already been ruled out for this week. Would you would

646
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: you would you start, would you try capri bibs? Would

647
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: you like flex him? I mean PPR desperation. Yeah, I mean,

648
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: if I'm in a in a deeper league, then he's

649
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna be on the board. I have him in the

650
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: top forty running backs. Not that that's saying a whole

651
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: heck of a lot, but I mean, like I I'd

652
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: rather have Edo Smith. You know, for example, I'd rather

653
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: have picked up Mike Davis off the waiver wire, but

654
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: off him in desperate straits, I mean and dire straits.

655
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I do pick up Capri bibs and

656
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: flex him. So, but I mean that's a dart throw.

657
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the definition of a dart throw. Uh.

658
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson, right, they got this revenge game too, right?

659
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean I like him because he he tends to

660
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: play well against his former teams. He's done it against

661
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles a couple of times. And you know that

662
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is under center, and Fitzpatrick tends to like to

663
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: try and take chances downfield. And that's where Deshan Jackson

664
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: is most effective is in the vertical past attacks. So yeah,

665
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: I think Jackson's uh in that wide receiver three flexible.

666
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: No question is Adam Humphries Is it worthwhile? I mean, now,

667
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't have the big game last week. I didn't

668
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: know look at his totals, like his totals have been

669
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Few last couple of weeks. But

670
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: so the one thing that Washington's defense has been able

671
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: to do on a regular basis shut down the opponent

672
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: slot receiver. We saw it last week with Mohammed san

673
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: New and I feel like that's chasing the points. I

674
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: really do U bills at Jets. I mean I was,

675
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: I really was like racking my brain of syme was

676
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: something and the other thing I could saw it with

677
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: his are the two defenses the only things words, not

678
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: even the bills now because McCown's playing. You know, Josh

679
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: a cound really scared you that much that you would

680
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: sit the bill. But McCown is an experienced quarterback who

681
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: protects the football. Donald is an inexperienced rickey quarterback who

682
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: gives the ball up. And that's been the big issue.

683
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: And that's why defenses have done so well against the

684
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: Jets this season. From a fantasy perspective, is that Donald

685
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: turns the ball over. Josh McCown and turned the ball

686
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: over as much. He is a guy who is an

687
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: experienced quarterback. He protects the football. I think the Jets

688
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: have a shot to win this week. I mean last year,

689
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: Josh McCown didn't turn the football over but in the past.

690
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, but I mean like I know,

691
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: but I mean this is number one, Like, I just

692
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: have what I know about mccoon from last season. It's

693
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: basically the same offense, right, I mean, they got the

694
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: same players, And I don't really think that McCown has

695
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: suddenly become a guy who's gonna be um, I guess,

696
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: reckless with the football. He's gonna protect the football. It's

697
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring game. They're gonna try to

698
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: run as a crew while they're gonna maybe try to

699
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: run Elijah McGuire. It's gonna be a ball control game.

700
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,959
Speaker 1: This is gonna be like a nine six game. There's

701
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot of points put on the board.

702
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: But where where I I just I can't get on

703
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: the Bill's bandwagon anymore on that defense. Is because I

704
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: just don't feel like McCown is that reckless with the ball.

705
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: Where Sam Donald was turning the ball over a ton

706
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: in recent week, Josh fa colln go out there and

707
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: rip it, man like, Look, your your time here is limited,

708
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: your career is almost over. The Jets aren't go anywhere.

709
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: Go out there and rip it, man like, just just

710
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: throw it deep, screw it. Yeah, nothing to lose. Robby

711
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Anderson throw the ball if he's active. Um, except you

712
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: know Robbie Anderson, maybe he likes locks up Ontra Davis

713
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: White and that that is the Yeah, that is the problem.

714
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: That's no ball. I just saw. Um. Antonio Brown's leather

715
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: is his fur coat for fantastic. It's fabulous. Um. Jaguars

716
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: at Colts so Letard Fournet is back this week. We've

717
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: been waiting for a while. Now we know t J

718
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: Yelden still there, Carlos High got traded there, and I mean,

719
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: are we just so sure that that four net is

720
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: gonna walk back in and be this RB one? I mean,

721
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: there were some semi cryptic statements, uh from the coaching

722
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: staff about you know, seeing how personnel fit in and

723
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: trying to fit what people do it. Just I mean,

724
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: are we are we sure that this thing won't be

725
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: some kind of weird time showdown there in Jacksonville. I mean,

726
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: I am putting faith in the fact that the Jaguars

727
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: built their offense around this dude, and that's why the

728
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: frustration set in when he couldn't get back on the

729
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: gridiron and they went out and made a trade for

730
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: Carlos had because they wanted a guy who could come

731
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: in and potentially sort of fit the mold a little

732
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 1: bit better than t J. Yelden. But if for Net,

733
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if he's a percent, why the hell

734
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: not put out there? I mean, he he's he's fresh. Well,

735
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: but I can tell you that although is it because

736
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: they look around they realized that maybe their offense is

737
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: a little more sluggish when he's there. They're not the

738
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: same offense. Man, they're feeding him the ball twenty times,

739
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: But that offense was good enough to get to uh

740
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game last season on his

741
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: shoulders sort of. But I mean they started all sporting

742
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: a lot more r p o s and you know

743
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: they kind of gave I mean board part of it

744
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: that Borders actually figured out to not throw them all

745
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: away all the time. But yeah, just I feel like

746
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: they're not that great when they're feeding him carries a game.

747
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out. I believe that for Net will

748
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: end up getting the lion's share of the touches this week.

749
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: And if he's I mean, at worst, he's a flex.

750
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: At worst, I don't know that he's an RB one.

751
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: But if he's in my if he's on my roster,

752
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: and I've been waiting and we're in week ten and

753
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: I've played him what like once or twice all season long,

754
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean, unless unless I'm deep at

755
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: running back and I could throw somebody else in there.

756
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I like Mike Davis more of Chris Carson is

757
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: out of action. But I'm I'm rolling for Net out

758
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: there the right. I mean, yeah, I get it, you've

759
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: been waiting for him all this long. I just I

760
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: think he's on I think he's on track for for

761
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: a big workload. I mean that's just me. Um okay,

762
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: So then would you stream the Colts defense this week? Yeah?

763
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: I do like the Colts defense because of Blake portals,

764
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: and I have the Colts in my top ten no

765
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: matter what the scenario is with four Net, whether or

766
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: not he's limited or he does see a full workload,

767
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: which I expect Blake Bortles has always got, you know,

768
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: the potential to Blake Bortles. Yeah, that's true. So I

769
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: do like the Colts defense at home this week. It's

770
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: not a top five defense, especially if for Net, which

771
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: we expect that he will be. But I do think

772
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Definitely better than the bills, now that's

773
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: for certain. Yeah, well that's probably true. G Suite is

791
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Raiders in Oakland and old a f

792
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: C West and old An f L rivalry even goes

793
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: way back to the in day Um so, I mean again,

794
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. You know you're starting Rivers, you're starting Melvin Gordon,

795
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: you know you're starting now and whatever whatever do you

796
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: start the Chargers defense? I know it seems kind of basic, right,

797
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: I got them in there too, right yeah, Um, I

798
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: wasn't able to pick them be in any leagues, but

799
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: I definitely like them. This week earlier this season, I

800
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: believe it was Week five, they gave you eleven points

801
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: in NFL dot Com Standard scoring. It's pretty good anytime

802
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: you get eight or more from a defense. I mean

803
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: that that's a pretty decent number. Yeah. Yeah, So it's

804
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: funny because they haven't been a great defense because I

805
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: expected more of them this year defensively, and it just

806
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: hasn't really happened. But bos Bosa hasn't He still hasn't

807
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: played this year. Uh. They lose Jason for Red at

808
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: the start of the season. Um yeah, it just it

809
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: just has not worked out. So I know at the

810
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: start of the week you said you're not starting any Raiders,

811
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: Like you're done, You're out, no more so, like not

812
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: even Jalen Richard maybe in a game script game. I mean,

813
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: like that's probably the only dude I don't know. I'm

814
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: soured after what happened last week. I think a lot

815
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: of people are too, because like the Raiders are we

816
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: we we all were like, you know, I'm not starting Raiders.

817
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I can't trust the Raiders. And then when happens, a

818
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: bunch of Raiders go out and have a really good

819
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: game against the Colts, including Derek Carr, and You're thinking, wow,

820
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: six teams on a by this week, Derek Carr just

821
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. Maybe this guy was motivated because everyone

822
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: was pooping on him and there was reports that you know,

823
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: he's he's having issues in the locker room and and

824
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: he wants to prove to everyone that he can get

825
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: the job done. I mean against the Niners too. And

826
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: then Nick Mullins goes out and turns into Brett Farve magically.

827
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: No I can't. I'm like, I mean, yeah, Richard's probably

828
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: the only guy, and I mean, like, I have Jared

829
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: Cooking one league, but I'm not playing him because I

830
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: have a better option. And I mean, the charge has

831
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: historically been tough on tight ends, so just it's it's

832
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: it's like I have trust issues, man, I just have

833
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: trust issues. I have this weird feeling that like this

834
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: is a Derek Carr like twenty five point game. I

835
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: mean not not because because it'll be a garbage time game, right,

836
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: because they fall behind in the second half. He's throwing

837
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: the football a lot, and like we just pick up

838
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: some garbage time points and you know he'll he'll end

839
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: up like somehow like be six or something. You know what, dude, Hey,

840
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: anything can happen in the NFL. Anything, Like I would

841
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: not be surprised if Josh McCown was the top ten

842
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: quarterback this week, because it's just the NFL. Like sometimes

843
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: weird stuff happens. And by sometimes I mean a lot

844
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: by like nearly every week, um Seahawks at Rams. Russell

845
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: Wilson has been playing better, But is the old Russell

846
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: Wilson Gone? Are the days of him like running and

847
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: picking up you know, fantasy points on the ground? Is

848
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: that is that overnight? While he started to run a

849
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: little bit last week, right, I mean, I mean you

850
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: have about forty forty one rushing yards. It was somewhere somewhere, right, No,

851
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's on pace for for career lows in

852
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: terms of UH rushing Attam's rushing yards rushing touchdowns. But

853
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,959
Speaker 1: here's the thing that worries me about Russell Wilson this week.

854
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: And laugh if you want, but he is awful when

855
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: he plays the Rams on the road. Awful. Six career

856
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: games against the Rams, either in St. Louis or in

857
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Six career games he has scored fewer than

858
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: sixteen Fantasy it's in five of those games, including last

859
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: season when he was the best player in fantasy football,

860
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: and they held him to eleven five. So if you're

861
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: someone who looks at trends like that, maybe Russell Wilson's

862
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: have fad for you this week. UM, I have him

863
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues and I'm playing Ryan Fitzpatrick

864
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: over him in one of my leagues, and in my

865
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: other league, I believe I'm playing, um trying to think.

866
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: I Actually it might be Fitzpatrick in in that second

867
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: league too. So he's outside of my top twelve. So

868
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: for me, he's a fade this week. All right. Um,

869
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: last week we saw Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee get

870
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: more attention in the Rams offense than they had all

871
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: season long. Uh, I mean they had they had been

872
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: really non existent because all the wide receivers hadn't doing

873
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: all the work is would you consider, because you know,

874
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: we're always looking for tight ends, the guys we can stream,

875
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: guys we can pick up. Would you consider either one

876
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: of these guys? Which which one? Is there one out

877
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: there that that you like more than the other? I wouldn't.

878
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't stream either one of him. I mean, especially

879
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: the matchup Seahawks. They're giving up the second fewest points

880
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: to tight ends this season. I mean they've given up

881
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: nothing to that position. I don't know that they've given

882
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: up a touchdown. I think if they have, it's like one.

883
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: And there's too many other options, especially with Cooper Cup back.

884
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: You know, I get it, they've got a couple of

885
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: talented guys, but there's only so many passes that Jared

886
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: Goff can throw per game, especially with a guy like

887
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley behind him in the backfield. So I would

888
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: fade both of those guys, And to be honest with you,

889
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't start a tight end in this game. Even

890
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: though Nick Vanette had a good game last week for

891
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, I still fade him as well. Um, this

892
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: is this is potentially gonna be a very high scoring

893
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: game for the Rams, And I wonder especially if the

894
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks can't control the time of possession because you can't

895
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: stop that offense. The only way you can stop that offense, Marcus,

896
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,959
Speaker 1: is to keep it off the field. And we saw

897
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: that earlier in the season, right, Seattle really had a

898
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: lot of success against the Rams running the football with

899
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: Carson and with Davis, and they were able to stay

900
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: in the game tame, and I don't know if they

901
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: can do that again this week. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting.

902
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's either a high scoring game

903
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be a really low scoring game. Like

904
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: somehow if the Seahawks can run the football and kind

905
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: of in chew clock, um, you know, this could be

906
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: like a seventeen thirteen sort of game. But we'll see

907
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins at Packers. Kenyan Drake. I don't even know what

908
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: to do about this guy anymore. Like when he gets

909
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: when he gets such as he can be productive, Just

910
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: it just seems like every now and then, like I

911
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he beats Adam Gays that connects four

912
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: and then like he's got to play him. Like I

913
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: can't figure out what to do with this guy. Yeah,

914
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean I have him as an RB two like

915
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: he's a borderline rby two this week. Um, you know,

916
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: game script could be an issue, although he can catch

917
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield, I think more effectively

918
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: than Frank Gore. But I mean the Packers are giving

919
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: up almost five yards to carry. They've given up the

920
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: fourth most point to running back since Week six, so

921
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: you can beat them on the ground. Um, They've been

922
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: whipped by a couple of running backs over the last

923
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: two weeks, although it's you know, James White and Todd Gurley.

924
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: But um, I do like Drake this week. But I've

925
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: been saying it for weeks. Drake is a guy that

926
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: would be trying to trade. Maybe as a good game

927
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: against the Packers, you can sell high on him again

928
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: because you you sort of missed that window after he

929
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: put up the stinker last week. But Gore is always

930
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a part of this offense. I feel like

931
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: we're just like a broken record with this. As good

932
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: as Drake is, Gore is always going to be a

933
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: part of the offers. He's never gonna But I do

934
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: like Drake this week as an RB two. Would you

935
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: stream the Packers defense? Yes? Yes, broadcast Wilder. Yes, there's

936
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: always always the chance that he implodes and throws you know,

937
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: two or three picks, fumbles, pick six. It's a home

938
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: game for the Packers, so yes, I would start their defense.

939
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: Always kind of fun to watch brocost while they played, like,

940
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily in a good way, but it can be

941
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: fun sometimes. Cowboys at Eagles Sunday Night Football. Amari Cooper,

942
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. I think he's startable

943
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: this week. I mean he was, he was decent last week.

944
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: They got him the ball a lot early, he found

945
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, it wasn't a huge blow game.

946
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: Fifty eight and a touchdown, five catches. I mean, it's

947
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: not a terrible game for a guy that you know,

948
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: maybe as your wide receiver two or maybe a flex option,

949
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: and I think you sort of see something like that. Again,

950
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: I just never envisioned a Marie Cooper getting a huge

951
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: yardage total in this offense, just because that's just not

952
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: how their passing game is built. So, like you know,

953
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper getting to a hundred yards would be a huge,

954
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: huge game. I think he tends he will tend to

955
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: hang out more between sixty to eighty yards um. Maybe

956
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: he can get you a touchdown. But I think against

957
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: the Eagle secondary, which has been you know, fairly weak

958
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: at times this year, I think he's he's kind of

959
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: a startable guy named Jalen Mills has banged up. Sidney

960
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: Jones is banged up, so their defensive backfields not so

961
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: I would agree with you there. How many different guys

962
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: would you start over Carson Wentz this week? See, this

963
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: is an interesting question because you look at the numbers

964
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: and you think, well, this is not a good matchup.

965
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense is actually pretty good, and it is,

966
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: but it's better at home, although it didn't show it

967
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: last week. Agains Marcus Mariotta. And we're not gonna get

968
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: into that because I'm gonna start yelling. But um, I

969
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of quarterbacks ahead of them.

970
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: And keep in mind that this is a week where

971
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: like the big name guys have really good matchups, Like

972
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes, it doesn't matter who he's playing, Rogers

973
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 1: has got the Dolphins, and then Newton has got the Steelers. Tonight,

974
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady doesn't matter who he's playing. He's got Tennessee.

975
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's got Cleveland. Their defensive backfields banged up, Jared Goff,

976
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: Scott Seattle, Drew Brees has got Cincinnati, and then I

977
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: have wins. But I can easily see Wentz being the

978
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. Wentz and Andrew Luck, to me, have

979
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: been very similar this season. Why because a lot of

980
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: question marks were surrounding them coming into this season, Wentz

981
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: coming off the knee, Andrew Luck coming off the shoulder.

982
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: And I think both of these guys, Marcus have re

983
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: established themselves as players that you're starting every week. I mean,

984
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: unless you have Luck in Mahomes or Luck in Rogers,

985
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: which is possible because no one drafted Luck early. He

986
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: was drafted late. Well, the first thing you should be

987
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: doing to try to trade one of them, because why

988
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: have two league players at the same position when you

989
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: can only start one. But I mean, like went to

990
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: somebody that I've been trying to trade for, Like I

991
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: mean one of my leagues. I offered Kirk Cousins and

992
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Valdes scanbling to get Carson Wentz because I'm a

993
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: little soured on Cousins. I like Wentz better and I

994
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: can afford to lose Marcus val Is Skinning as much

995
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: as I like him. So when to somebody against the

996
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys and listen, I mean, this is a guy who

997
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: went overseas to London and put twenty plus on the Jags,

998
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: So he's matchup proof as far as I'm um. Okay,

999
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: Giants at forty niners, it's not a not an exciting

1000
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: Monday night game. Uh. I want to play a little

1001
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: game with you, mast Okay, Okay, We're gonna play a

1002
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: little game of would you rather? Okay, Nick Mullins is

1003
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback here? Would you rather start? Nick Mullins or

1004
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford probably Mullins, Nick Mullins or Dak Prescott Mullins,

1005
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins or Derek Carr. I would say card because

1006
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: I think game script is gonna work in his favor

1007
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: this week. Now, I'm gonna turn the heat up on

1008
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: your pal Nick Mullins or Alex Smith against Uh. That's

1009
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: a coin flip. Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna say Nick

1010
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: Mullins just because Alex Smith has let me down a

1011
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: couple of times this year. He really has. He's just

1012
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: he's broken my heart a couple of times. Eddie. It

1013
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: seems like you know what he Nick Mullins is. Uh,

1014
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: has got that value on the rise. Man after one

1015
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: game against the team that gave up on their coach.

1016
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't have that much faith in Nick Mollins because

1017
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: he's playing your beloved Giants this one. It's not because

1018
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: I want the Giants to win. I just because the

1019
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: Giants screen to do everything in their power to ruin

1020
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: my Monday night and ruined my future draft selection by

1021
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: winning a game. Uh And I think the defense isn't

1022
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: that bad in the Giants side, So I don't know,

1023
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: I could. I don't think the fairytale of Nick Mollins

1024
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: last past his last game. Let's let's let Eddie get

1025
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: in on this one too. So Matt Brita, right, I mean,

1026
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: you guys got you got rid of snacks, your defense

1027
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: and that good against the run. No most are I

1028
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: mean you're you're a Giants guy. The I mean I

1029
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: think the foreigners will score. Uh And I could very

1030
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: well could be breed to I just I yeah, I

1031
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: would try to breeding more than like having a Nick.

1032
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: Nick Mullin is not going to have a game like

1033
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: he did versus Raiders. That's that's my ultimate point. Yeah,

1034
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he'll be quite that good.

1035
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 1: But you know, I could see I could see him

1036
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: giving you you know, to fifty maybe a couple of

1037
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: touches and maybe a pick um. It won't be as

1038
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: good as it was against There's no way, I like

1039
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: just as appear like as a football fan, I'm very

1040
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: excited to see what he can do. I really am.

1041
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how much of last week was

1042
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins and how much of last week was the Raiders.

1043
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: How happy is ESPN that that that happened, Because if

1044
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins didn't come out and go nuts against the Raiders,

1045
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: no one outside of San Francisco in New York I'll

1046
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: be watching that game on Monday night and he might

1047
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: not have even watched that game. It's been funny. It's

1048
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: been funny. You know. I don't know how much we

1049
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: should talk about, you know, another networks promos, but just

1050
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: watching their promos for the game where it's been like,

1051
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, se Kwon Barkley and Odell Beckham take on

1052
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: the forty Niners by the Bay. It's like a shot

1053
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: of George Kittle that you know, like most people probably

1054
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't know my site, you know, it's like, yeah, who's

1055
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: that guy. But if you're smart, I mean you build

1056
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: it up like I mean, you say, is Nick. You

1057
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: can't Nick Mullins the third drink quarterback. You can't sell

1058
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins Brett Farve clone. Is he real or is

1059
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 1: he a fantasy? You find out you can't sell Nick

1060
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: Mullins to America, not yet. Like we like underdogs. Underdogs,

1061
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: you can't. You just can't sell Nick. And if he

1062
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: has and if he has a good game against the Giants,

1063
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: that Jaguars will give him forty million next season. I mean,

1064
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: nobody knew who this dude was like seven days ago. Basically,

1065
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't. Anybody I said to stream the

1066
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: Raiders defense against him, how much of an idiot? And

1067
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: I look, it was bad. One time I said that

1068
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders were a sleeper defense and then Nick Foles

1069
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: through seven touchdowns. It's these things happened. There you go. Hey,

1070
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: So that's our week tend preview. Good luck to all

1071
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: of you. Hopefully you make the right choices in the meantime.

1072
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: Eddie Lars pick for us. Alright, guys, uh, I'm all

1073
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: in on the Jets this week, and uh it's a

1074
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: two part pick. So the first one with Josh McCown

1075
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: starting over Sam Donald. I think that mccount will have

1076
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: a better game point wise than Donald's hadn't this entire season.

1077
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: Donald's high believe it's twenty four points, like twenty four

1078
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: completions to injury a yard two touchdowns versus the Colts.

1079
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: I could see him account surpassing that. Um what does

1080
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: hurt Donald a lot like as they mentioned before, is

1081
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: the amount of interceptions. I mean, seemingly every game Donald

1082
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: throw a pick or multiple pick. So I just don't

1083
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: see him account turning the ball over. I also think

1084
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: the Jets defense uh is in for a really good game.

1085
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: They had the monster game role remember as the beginning

1086
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: of the year versus the line like five interceptions. I

1087
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: don't see him topping that, but I could definitely see

1088
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: the Jets defense and the twenty point range again surpassing

1089
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: the twenty point mark. Just whatever the Bills doing offense

1090
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: just not good, no matter who's a quarterback better like

1091
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: what they try, It's just it's pretty awful. U the

1092
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: Bills are given they give it the most fantasy points

1093
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: to team defenses this year anyway too, So I just

1094
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: think the Jets, especially after hearing guys like Jamal Adams

1095
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 1: say that he's tired of this. I think they're gonna

1096
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: be fired up and come out and win, and then

1097
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: eventually we'll create a pretty big controversy in New York because, uh,

1098
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: the Jets stands won't won't be happy at all seeing

1099
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: McCown perform a certain way beating a division rival and

1100
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: having Donald, who's just pick crazy quarterback now on the

1101
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: bench and that was the top draft pick of last year.

1102
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 1: I have been amused, like excited as somebody who doesn't have,

1103
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, a rooting interest one way or another. The

1104
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: obviously this battle between you know, the the Giants and

1105
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: the Jets over draft strategy and future team building whatever.

1106
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: I love that, you know, everybody's arguing about this and

1107
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: both teams are kind of bad, right Yeah. I mean

1108
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: I've been I feel like I've treated about darn versus

1109
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: Barkley every day. You have really carried the flag for

1110
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,959
Speaker 1: these people. Do not stop. It's constant, and like even

1111
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: with like h Dave Damage put out his top hundred

1112
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: player lists, like people just find a way to take

1113
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: that into an argument against me. But Donald and Barkley

1114
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: and it's just like, look, I think Donald he'll be

1115
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: fine ultimately. I'm not a USC fan. I'm an Ord

1116
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: Dame fan, so I have a bias against him, but

1117
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: I have I have no ill will versus Jets whatsoever.

1118
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: He's just going through growing pains as a rookie. I'll

1119
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: be ultimately fine. But right now, that like is what

1120
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: it is like. The Giants have a player at running

1121
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: back and he's he's succeeded. Donald has not as much.

1122
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: We'll see what the future holes for both teams. Like

1123
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: it's people do not stop. But anyway, I think a

1124
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: few are a Jets fan. You should He'll be happy

1125
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: this week. You know what people are talking about on

1126
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: sports talk radio in New York right now, the Yankees

1127
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: and what they're doing and what they're doing in the

1128
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: off season. No one gives a rat spetuity about the

1129
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: Giants or Jets except for to figure out who they're

1130
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: going to get in the draft next season. That's very true,

1131
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: bad news about the Giants and Jets. Actually. Okay, so

1132
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 1: before we go here, so Marcus is off next week. Um,

1133
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: Marcus is gonna go and have a bunch of margarita's

1134
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 1: and have fun. His best friends getting married that's always

1135
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: a blast. Is it like on a boat or something

1136
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: on a cruise? Are you coming back? I mean ideally yes,

1137
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: Well well I mean maybe maybe I just get off

1138
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: the boat and in Sonata and that's just just chill there.

1139
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: That's just start start covering fantasy soccer. I think the

1140
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: other fantasy football, how would they do that? Like, I'm exists,

1141
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: I know it exists, but like, like, where do you

1142
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: give points for? I mean, obviously goals, yet passes completed

1143
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: get a point if you if you're if the past

1144
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: gets to the intended person. What if you fake an engineer?

1145
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: Really well, do you get a point for that? Also

1146
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: know that you're getting amar points? Okay, I know that

1147
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: that's a thing I would I would assume you know

1148
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: your goalkeeper gets points for saves. Uh. You know what

1149
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: we need here is our old friend Zak Goldman, the

1150
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: gold Standard, who used to produce a lot of podcasts

1151
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: here because he has forgotten more about soccer and I

1152
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: will ever know, uh and uh, he could he could

1153
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: tell us a lot about this fantasy soccer leagues and

1154
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: how that thing sorts. Actually I probably will, but our

1155
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: old guy Johnny Buttons, he could probably tell us about that.

1156
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: He's a big soccer guy. A lot of big soccer

1157
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: fans in the NFL. I should be a bigger soccer fan,

1158
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: being that I'm a Talian, but I'm not. I just

1159
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: never got into it. But so next week, Margarets is

1160
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,040

1161
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: not thinking about fantasy football at all. I'm kind of jealous. Actually,

1175
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: mean you would think that there could be some more

1176
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: targets in his future without a j Green in the mix. Yeah,

1177
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: I would think so. And also, I just you know,

1178
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: with Josh McCann there, you just don't know how he's

Speaker 1: going to Who's gonna spread the ball around too? If

1180
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: hit Hern didn't get along or what? Um. We have

1186
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: there's I don't I don't see a major advantage one

1187
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: way or is the best player in that trade? So

1190
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: follow us is lacking at wide RECEI your depth, so

1191
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: he wants to He's more trying to th receiver. I

1192
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,880

1193
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: see a major advantagement way or another, Like sure, I

1194
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: don't know if you win or lose. So all right,

00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: much as as much as I love for Nett's talent,

1201
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks. I mean, I wouldn't

1202
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: do it, give up two guys supposed to give a

1203
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,280

1205
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,600

00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: Jones this week. I would I might almost say, just

1213
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: to go Howard and Jones. Um Howard Jones, things can

1214
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: only get better. Um Uh, I just like, go Howard,

1215
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: and because I just think I think the game scripted

1216
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: in the way that the game plan will be for

1217
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: the Bears means they actually run the ball more, which

1218
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: which favors Jordan Howard. And I just think Aaron Jones

1219
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins just it just seems like too good

1220
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: of a matchup for me. And we can rendered here

1221
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: from at sc Keith. He needs help with which quarterback

1222
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: and wide receiver? Zgo Aaron Rodgers or Philip Rivers or uh?

1223
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: And then Josh Gordon or Keenan Allen in a PPR league,

1224
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: I go with Rogers, Rogers over Rivers. Huh is that

1225
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: a surprise A little bit? Rogers a little bit. I

1226
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: don't know, Roger's over Rivers. And then I would go

1227
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: with h Keenan Allen. I definitely go Keenan Allen. What

1228
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: I thought you might go Aaron Rodgers? Are we talking

1229
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: about Aaron rod Yeah? I mean, but look, let's be real,

1230
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has been okay you haven't been, but even

1231
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: but his floor is like basically, you know, Rivers is

1232
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: good games. Knight points a game this year. Aaron Rodgers

1233
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: is the Qbats twelve right now, He's like barely just

1234
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of hanging around. I mean, like I can't but

1235
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: he's giving you some fifteen point games. Like he hasn't

1236
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: been great, like I Philip Rivers against the against the Raiders,

1237
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: that feels like stealhen No, I like Rare. I would

1238
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: have to go Rodgers there. That I mean Rodgers is.

1239
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Rogers is a hard guy for me to say, even

1240
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: though maybe he hasn't had this season we were expecting

1241
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: from him. Home game, I'm going Rogers, I'm going. I mean,

1242
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: he still has more points than Rivers, so it's got listen.

1243
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm surprised, Daron Rodgers. It's not your quiz Rodgers.

1244
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's surprised. Hey, So that'll pretty much do

1245
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: it for us. As you heard Fab say, he's back

1246
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: next week. I will talk to you guys in about

1247
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: a week from now. But I always remember, if math

1248
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,440
