1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it's Monday, October twenty eight, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we need

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: to sit down and catch our breath. It's me your man, NAMG.

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones.

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Fellas Week eight pretty much in the books. We still

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: have a Monday night game left to be played between

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Steelers in Pittsburgh. But Florio, you

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: were pointing this out before the show. It's one of

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: those rare weeks, but it seems like all three of

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: our teams gotta win. I didn't dig back to see

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: I feel like it has happened at some point this season.

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: But we can definitely all. You know, we're all on

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: the good side of things this week.

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: Yay. I guess like I'm hopeful that it's happened already.

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: Maybe did it happen in Week one or something like that.

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, but we're all feeling good. Marcus, your

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: baseball team, yeah, yeah, they've been winning and stuff.

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, lots of.

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: LaQuan your favorite soccer team, fired a guy or something

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: like that.

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: We're all feeling good, yes, he's been sacked. We're gonna

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: use the terms he's been sacked. Get him out of here, man.

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: That's what they say when someone gets fired.

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: He gets saack. Yes, yeah, I.

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 4: Don't think you guys have been noticing like for a

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: couple of shows now. I've just been putting like soccer

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: terminology off. There's like bottom of the teak.

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of caught it. Yeahs over my head.

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I definitely you're not. You're not slipping these by me.

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just choose not to acknowledge it. That's all

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: there is. That's it. I've got a lots to do

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: on the show today, as always have, our biggest takeaways

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: from what we have seen in Week eight. We will

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: dive into the waiver wire and we'll get to some

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: of our hot takes for the second half, some things

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: that you know, might be a little bit outlandish, but

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of what we're feeling about what we expect to

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: see for the last few weeks of the fantasy regular season.

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: But now let's get started, as we always do, with

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: some fantasy headline, starting down in Houston, where Stefan Diggs

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: left the Texans game against the Colts with what looks

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: like a knee injury, was running arout non contact, limped

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: off the field. Now, as of us recording this show,

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: we don't have an update on what Diggs's situation is

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: going to be. But I mean Florida, look, I know

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: Nico Collins hopefully is going to be back soon, but

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: he is still injured right now. Now, Stefan Diggs is out,

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Tank Dell had a touchdown, which

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: is great, but where else can we look to get

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: some help in this in this Texas passing game?

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know we're waiting for the word on Stefan Diggs,

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: but non contact and they play on a short week

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: on Thursday, so I look speculation on my part, I

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: would plan on being without Steph Diggs this week. And

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: if that is the case, it's Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz,

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: I would say, because remember last season when either Nico

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: Collins or Tank Dell missed time and it was only

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: one of them there, then that's when Dalton Schultz really

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: stepped up and got utilized more. This season. The difference

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: is it took two injuries to get to that point.

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Because they had two OUTFA target Hogs Nico Collins. They

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: are hopeful can be back in week ten. I think

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: the Texans, with their record, are going to play the

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: long game here. They're not going to rush back. Especially

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: after seeing the Jets loose to the Patriots. They're probably thinking,

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 3: we could beat this team without you guys. So yeah,

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: I think it pushes Dell and Schultz into players that

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: you could get into your starting lineups this week. And

69
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: obviously Joe Mixon is the other text in there that

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: you can start.

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Because Collins was placed on IR you have to miss

73
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: at least four games. The earliest he can come back

74
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: is week ten, so they have to get through at

75
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: least one week. Theoretically, it looks like without Collins and

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: probably without Digs. Again, we're still trying to figure out

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: what the official diagnosis is on it, but as you said,

78
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Florida did not look good the way he went down

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: and left the game on Sunday. Meanwhile, Lakwan over in

80
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Jordan Love suffered a growing injury he had

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: to leave that game. Malik Willis came in and helped

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: lead the Packers to a win in that one. I'm

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: now the early reports that I saw were that they

84
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: think he could be back by weeks in, but they're

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: very doubtful that he's going to be available for the

86
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions coming up this week, big game in the

87
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: NFC North. Now we see Malik Willis, you know, have

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: some good games when we saw him early in the

89
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: season when Jordan Love was hurt. Because of what we

90
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: saw early in the year, do you still have faith

91
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: of starting any Packers wide receivers against this Detroit defense.

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: I think he will honestly just be a headache trying

93
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: to figure out which wide receiver we could put into

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: the starting lineups. I'm not sure if elite Willis can

95
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: really support like a Christian Watson and Jayden Ree and

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: Ana Romeo Dobbs all at once, because I think what

97
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 4: we saw a little bit when Jordan Love was out

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 4: is that they move more into a run heavy offense.

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 4: So I think outside of that fifty one yard you

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 4: know catch from Jayden Reed last game, there really wasn't

101
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 4: much you know, bursting, like really excitement out of Malik

102
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: Willis that I think that this pass offense is going

103
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: to be on the same standard as Jordan Love. So

104
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: I think when you look at the three wide receivers,

105
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: the three headed guys here, Dobbs. When you look at Watson,

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: you look at Reid. Jayden Reid seems to be the

107
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: most safest option. So a lot of Jayden Reed managers

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: out there shouldn't merely be panicking with Jordan Love missing

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 4: time because Jayden Reid, they're going to get the ball

110
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: in his hands at all calls. He's going to get

111
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 4: rushing attempts, he's going to get screen looks, he's going

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: to get you know, played deep downfield like, he's going

113
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: to be utilized all over this offense. So you feel

114
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 4: really good at the most point that you know, Jayden

115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: Reid does have some upside with Malik Willis.

116
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: In the three games where Willis has played a significant

117
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: number of snaps, he has exactly one touchdown pass and

118
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: no interceptions in all three of those games he did play.

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: In Week one, he had two snaps at the very

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: end of the game. That seems like a sort of

121
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: unfair comparison for him in that circumstance. News out of Jacksonville,

122
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: so the Packers played the Jaguars. Some significant news out

123
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. Florio Christian Kirk has a collarbone injury. He

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: is out for the remainder of the season, and then

125
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: reports surfacing on Monday morning that Brian Thomas Junior is

126
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: dealing with a chest injury and he could miss anywhere

127
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: from two to four weeks. I guess the easy answer

128
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: is that it's Evan Ingram season. Is there anybody else

129
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: potentially we should keep an eye on down there in Jacksonville?

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram is the big winner, like you said, because

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: last season he went from averaging seven and a half

132
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: to ten and a half targets per game and averaging

133
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: eleven and a half to over nineteen fantasy points per

134
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: game without Christian Kirk. And I was all ready to

135
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: say sit him because of a tough matchup this week.

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: Then these injury news came out, and now I'm saying

137
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: to start him. I think he is the only must

138
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: start pass catcher here. But if you're in a deeper

139
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: league or you're in a pinch with all of these

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: wide receivers being hurt, Gabe Davis is boom or bust.

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: We know that.

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: But with more volume and more just plays kind of

143
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: running through him a little bit, the chances of him

144
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: hitting do increase. So I'm not telling you to like

145
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: run out there, grab Gabe Davis and start him or

146
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: something like that. But if you're in a pinch, and

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: I have been in a lot of leagues, I think

148
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: then that that is an option you could go. But

149
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: the real winner is probably the running backs as well,

150
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: because they're going to run the ball more and I'm

151
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: sure they'll dump the ball off more. We even seen

152
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: Tank Bigs beginning involved as a pass catcher this week.

153
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: So this obviously means that the Brenton Strange is going

154
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: to have the big game because that's that's just how

155
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the season has gone.

156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: So far this year, which you know, we'll see how

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: that is.

158
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: But definitely a big hit for the Jaguars offense and

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence for anybody who's trying to start him

160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: as well. So I joked about Brenton Strange, but it

161
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: seems like a good way to get into I don't

162
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: know if you heard, guys, yesterday was National tight Ends

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Day and the tight ends had a day. I'll put

164
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: together a list of all the guys who scored touchdowns

165
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: and we see Kate Ott and Kyle Pitts with a couple,

166
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: but look, no shock. Travis Kelcey gets in the end

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: of George George Kittle's special days. Of course, he was

168
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: going to have a nice day. Six catches for one

169
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: to twenty eight and a touch down. But go down

170
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: the list. I mean Adam Trautman got in the end zone.

171
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: We can all rejoice because Sam Laporta scored a touchdown.

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Final It too a huge true. I got trolled because

173
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I thought he had caught it and ended up being

174
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: brock Right, and then he got tackled at the one

175
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and he finally got in, so he scores a touchdown.

176
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews stays hot, Evan Ingram with a pair of touchdowns,

177
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Conklin and j Josh Oliver. Going back to Thursday night,

178
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned brock Right there, who fooled me into thinking

179
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: it was Sam Laporta. Nate Adkins. His only catch was

180
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. It was a huge day. Fifteen tight ends

181
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on National tight End Day. It was fantastic.

182
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: If you had a guy, hopefully you had him in

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: your lineup, because it ended up working out pretty well

184
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: for you on National tight End Day. All right, let's

185
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the week's top scores.

186
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Of course, the Monday night game is still to be played,

187
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: but Jalen Hurts thirty five point one four points, a

188
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: passing touchdown, three rushing touchdowns doing the job there. James

189
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Cook with twenty eight point three points. Sorry tythem, Klanie,

190
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: We told you maybe to not start him because you

191
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: had three other good running backs there, So that's that

192
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: sort of are bad. One hundred and eleven rushing yards

193
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: to rushing touchdowns, twenty eight points there.

194
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb.

195
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Big game against the forty nine ers and right now

196
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: looks like the only real weapon in the Cowboys offense.

197
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: One hundred and forty six yards on thirteen catches, two touchdowns,

198
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: nearly a forty burger for him. Kate Ott is part

199
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: of National tight End Day nine for eighty one and

200
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Enders Carlson three made field goals because Kyle

201
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 1: Shanahan loves himself, a field goal attempt and three pats

202
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: fourteen points for the forty nine ers, and the Detroit

203
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: Lions defense a sack, four takeaways and a touchdown gave

204
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: up just fourteen points against the Titans.

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: That was sixteen points there.

206
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: But for a look around at the rest of the

207
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: league and maybe go off menu a little bit.

208
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: Lakwan, who is your Fantasy hero.

209
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: For the week, Calvin Ridley. Man showed up and showed

210
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: down one hundred and forty three receiving yards. I mean

211
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: season high obviously, but this is the most productive, you know,

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: offense that we've seen out of the Titans all season long,

213
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: I mean season high in total yards, yards per play,

214
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: rushing yards, etc. So it's good to see that he

215
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: was able to show up and show I know a

216
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: lot of people might have dropped him, you know, because

217
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 4: I might have said that on Twitter, but whatever, we

218
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: forget things. But yeah, but he showed up man. I

219
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 4: feel it really feels though. In my homelane. I took

220
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: a shot of him in my flex position because de

221
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: Hop is out of the way. So now it looks

222
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: like this game plan every single week could be getting

223
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: Calvin Ridley involved very early on. And honestly, he might

224
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 4: be a guy that you could play based on matchups

225
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: because the quarterback is still Mason Rudolph. But I like

226
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: the Patriots. Next week you could throw on them as well.

227
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: I don't like the Chargers. But weeks eleven, twelve, and thirteen,

228
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: this is like towards playoff time, and I think this

229
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: is where you could really find the group where Calvin

230
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: Ridley can be a weapon into your starting lineups. I

231
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: mean these teams that he's going to be seeing later on,

232
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 4: they're all averaging twenty fantasy points per game allowed to

233
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: the position. So I like the matchups for the future

234
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: for Calvin.

235
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: Ridley said he needed first quarter targets, and you see

236
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: what he did with him. Florida, Are you are you

237
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: are supporting the guy that you have here on your

238
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: chest today.

239
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: Jaydeen Daniels because the dude is just simply amazing. Look

240
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: I put on Twitter yesterday he is a lot like

241
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: Puka Nakua. This week, there was clear risk and I

242
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: won't lie. There was a play in the first quarter

243
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: where he got hit. He was on the floor and

244
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, his day could potentially be over.

245
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: But I also put out that there was clear upside

246
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: with Jayden Daniels, and that is what we got. Three

247
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty six yards a touchdown, fifty two rushing yards,

248
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: twenty two point two four fantasy points. And the thing

249
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: is what he gives you with his legs is why

250
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: he is so good for fantasy purposes. Over twenty yards

251
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: in every single game this season. But it has become

252
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: routine where he is running for forty plus yards. That

253
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: is a free one hundred plus passing touchdowns, passing yards

254
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: in a fantasy game. And for those of you who

255
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: are like, oh, he did nothing until this one play, No,

256
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: he had sixteen Fantasy points scored before this Hail Mary

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: play in a game against a tough defense where we

258
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: did not know if or when he would play. He

259
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: didn't practice for most of the week and he still

260
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: went out and before this play had a safe floor

261
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: type performance. So I think he is a mustart. I

262
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: think we need to stop doubting him. He is the

263
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: runaway rookie of the year right now. He is an

264
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 3: MVP candidate for fantasy and real life.

265
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Yeah, he really is very much in

266
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: the mix for all of those things. And in the

267
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: matchup of one versus two, two came out on top

268
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: both in playing and on the scoreboard as well. For me,

269
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: as Cedric Tillman and we all thought he had some

270
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: sleeper vibes to him this week. Noah, Maari Cooper in

271
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the offense anymore, a change at quarterback with Jameis Winston

272
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: taking over, and Cedric Tillman had himself an absolute day

273
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: and now you'll get it back to back solid games.

274
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: Ford Tilman. You see the seven catches for ninety nine

275
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. I look, it's not going to be

276
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: this easy or this productive for the remainder of the season,

277
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: but it is apparent.

278
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: Cedric Tillman looks like he.

279
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Has surpassed Jerry Judy as the number one target, at

280
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: least among why receivers. I think David and Joku still

281
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a big part of this. But

282
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: Tilman doing some big things and he's still out there

283
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: on some waiver wires. I doubt that's going to be

284
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the case after this week. So if he's available, you

285
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: got to put in that waiver claim for him. I

286
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: know we'll get to waiver wire a little bit later

287
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: in the show. He's going to be a very popular

288
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: ad coming up this week.

289
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: What changed because the Browns passing attack suddenly very very reliable.

290
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: It's good for sure. Who knows? Get to our week

291
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: eight takeaways. What did you learn from this past week?

292
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: Lukwon oh Man, Anthony Richardson's on Benro he should be

293
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 4: Onventro until further notice. And what Bentro is is basically

294
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: you're on the bench, you're on punishment, and you don't

295
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 4: get off until you show some life. You're going to

296
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 4: be a zombie collecting dust on my bench and you

297
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: will be closer to the door out. And Anthony Richardson

298
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: just needs to find a way to get him rhythm

299
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: and games.

300
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 5: Man.

301
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: I mean, look, only one game so far this season

302
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: where he's completed more than ten passes. I mean only

303
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: one rushing touchdown, which came in Week one, and is

304
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: completing less than forty five five percent of his passes.

305
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: There's not real good here. There's no real good knee

306
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: here that you want to digest. There is no real

307
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 4: good spark coming from him on this offense. So it's like, man,

308
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: I just feel as though, like I'm not waving the

309
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: white flag on him as a fan of him, but

310
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: for fantasy I am completely done.

311
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: Ah.

312
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been rough for sure. What did you learn

313
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: from this past week?

314
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: For you?

315
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: I have to go all the way back to Thursday

316
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: for mine. And in the past I've had to tell

317
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: Lakwalm like you might want to ear muffs. I think

318
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: you want like the opposite of that, turn your volume

319
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: up or whatever. I think the rams offense is going

320
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: to win people fantasy leagues. Let's go back all the

321
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: way to last season. Remember the first half of the year,

322
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford was putting up yards but no touchdowns. Cooper

323
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: Cup was hurt, Kien Williams was hurt. Puka Nakua was

324
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: usable for fantasy purposes, but he was the only one.

325
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: We have the exact same scenario, just a little different

326
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: this year. Kien Williams has been the only one you

327
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: could start every single week. Stafford has struggled. He's put

328
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: up some yards in some games. The touchdowns haven't been

329
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: there at all. But now, once this team got healthy

330
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: in the second half last year, they went on a run,

331
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: They got hot, they made the playoffs. They played the

332
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: Ravens better than any d any offense did last season

333
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: in the rain in Baltimore. We have that offense back now.

334
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: When Stafford, Kyrin Puka, and Cooper Cup are healthy, this

335
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Rams offense is elite. It is one of the best

336
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: in the NFL. And all four of them are healthy. Now, Now,

337
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: if any of them get hurt, change everything I'm saying here,

338
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: But as long as these four stay healthy, this team

339
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: is going to win people. Fantasy Championships and hopefully you

340
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: bought low on these guys or something like that, because

341
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: I think Stafford is someone you could start moving forward

342
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: and the other three year all must starts.

343
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is kind of where we thought

344
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: we'd be at the beginning of the season. Injuries sort

345
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: of derailed that temporarily, but now the band is back

346
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: together and the Rams getting a win means I don't

347
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: think they trade any of those guys because they're still

348
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: very much in the race in the NFC West. For me,

349
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: now you heard Lakwan talk about Anthony Richardson being on

350
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: bench row.

351
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you about net right now.

352
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Is the fantasy quarterback we thought Anthony Richardson was going

353
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: to be. You know, he's not a spectacular passer, but

354
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: he's good enough. And when you combine that with him

355
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: running the football. Because Richardson not running I think the

356
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: way we hoped he would, that is what makes him

357
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: a guy who is putting him over the top in

358
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: terms of his fantasy production right now.

359
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: For rushing touchdowns for Bonnicks so far this season. Over

360
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: the last four.

361
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: Weeks, he is the QB three, the third highest scoring

362
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback over the last month and in large part because

363
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: he is running the football.

364
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care that he's had good matchups. That's

365
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: what we want.

366
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: If he was failing in these good matchups and we'd

367
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: be upset with him. But he is getting it done

368
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: against some bad defenses. Took advantage of the Carolina Panthers

369
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and right now, he is that guy. And look,

370
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: I admit I sort of mocked bo Nicks at the

371
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: start of the season. I am apologizing I was wrong.

372
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: He's playing some really good football and he is a

373
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: real true fantasy asset right now.

374
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: All right, we are still got pointed.

375
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: We are still got we still got pointed to go

376
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: here on this show against the waiver Wire. Coming up

377
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: in just the stick Around for more are the NFL

378
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. Let's take a look at this week's

379
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: waiver wire options.

380
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: Florio go just spoke about Matthew Stafford. You need to

381
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: add him justin Herbert not only passing better, running more

382
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: as well. So take note of that Jamis Winston because

383
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: he is the best quarterback on the Browns and put

384
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 3: up some fantasy numbers. Alexander Madison had a real rough week,

385
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: but it was about the matchup, still getting all the

386
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: volume there, so he is in play, Ray Davis. These

387
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: are all handcuffs that because it was not a big

388
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: week of running backs, so Ray Davis, Braylan Allen, Julia McLaughlin,

389
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: Blake Krum, Tyler als Year, Rosehawn Johnson all guys that

390
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: are an injury away for becoming players that you just

391
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: get into your lineup each and every week. And then

392
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: pass catchers Cedric Tillman obviously needs to be picked up

393
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: right now. Ricky Piersoll looked really good on Sunday Night football.

394
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: Jalen McMillan had the most targets of Bucks receivers. Xavier

395
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 3: l Ye not only played well, but there's a lot

396
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: of reports that Deontay Johnson could get traded. Rashan Bateman

397
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: probably wants to red you on yesterday, but the volume

398
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: still keeps him in play.

399
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: And then Browns.

400
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: More Browns receivers Jerry Judy and Elijah Moore the first

401
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: third and fifth most yards by a Browns pass catcher

402
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: came in yesterday's game for the season. And then Hunter,

403
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: Henry kate Aten and Dalton Schultz. Some tight ends because

404
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: everyone needs a tight end unless it's National tight End

405
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: Day and then every tight end goes off.

406
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. You know, Kate Otten fantastic. I mean, look, Lakwan,

407
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: we look at this. You know, Mike Evans out for

408
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: a while, you know, Chris Godwin gone for the season.

409
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we sort of want Jayleen mcgillan

410
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: to be a thing, but it does feel like Kate

411
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: Otten is the guy until further notice in Tampa Bay.

412
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the most comfortable in the system, and he's

413
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: good at football, Like this isn't just some random tight

414
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 4: end scoring touchdowns or making plays like this is a

415
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 4: guy that's been working his butt off these last two

416
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 4: seasons trying to find his way and fit into this

417
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay's offense. And he's been such a huge fantasy

418
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 4: gym for a lot of fantasy managers like myself, coming

419
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 4: off the waiver wire and putting up elite tight end

420
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 4: one numbers. He's getting the volume and he's producing every week.

421
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 4: So I definitely think for the rest of the season,

422
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 4: Kate Odden shouldn't be questioned or not. If he's going

423
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 4: to be in your starting lineup or not, you should

424
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: not be benching him for the rest of the season

425
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: because Baker Mayfield is going to need that security blanket

426
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 4: because there's times where he gets wild and gets crazy

427
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: and those are when the interceptions happen.

428
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, But the kodd has been fantastic. All right.

429
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: So now we got the second half of the fantasy

430
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: regular season on tap as we had toward week nine,

431
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: we got some hot takes for what we think is

432
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen for the remainder of the season.

433
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: Mcwan will stay with you. What is your hot take

434
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: for the next few weeks.

435
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna stay in Denver, Man, bo Nicks is going

436
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: to finish as a top five fantasy quarterback and I'm

437
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: saying that just based on the rushing upside and his

438
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: ability that he has shown to go out there and

439
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: put out points. He's currently the QB eight, so it's

440
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: not that crazy. But the hot take, Man, this schedule

441
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 4: is going to get harder. These matchups are going to

442
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: get more difficult. But bo Nicks has been a rushing

443
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: storm that you have to worry about getting out of

444
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 4: that pocket to extend the place.

445
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, bon Nick's fantastic. I'm starting to buy in.

446
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: Adam Rank was on him early.

447
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: I sort of laughed, Bye in get your ticket, man,

448
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 2: I'm in.

449
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm a bowliever now for sure, Floyda, you got some

450
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: running back you got right now.

451
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: Look, James Connor was my biggest running back target coming

452
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: into the year, and I'm not changing course or anything.

453
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: I think James Connor is going to be the running

454
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: back that we look back after the season and we're like,

455
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: he won people the most championships, he was the league

456
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: winner because he is so guaranteed for save volume each

457
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: and every week routinely is putting up eighteen plus carriers

458
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: and getting used as a pass catcher. But now look

459
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: at this schedule. He gets the Bears this week. That

460
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: is tough. Maybe this is the week you try to

461
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: go out and acquire James Connor. Then he gets the Jets,

462
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: who we know can be ran on, then the Seahawks.

463
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 3: The Vikings are okay, the Seahawk again, this Seattle has

464
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: been ran all over this year. And then in the

465
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: fantasy playoffs, the Patriots, who we know can be ran on,

466
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: the Panthers, who are the best matchup for a running back,

467
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: and then the Rams, who again we know can be

468
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: ran on. So the schedule opens up so much it

469
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 3: has been tough up until this point, and Connor has

470
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 3: still been productive. But now it opens up, and as

471
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: long as he stays healthy, fingers crossed that he does,

472
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: I think he is going to run wild.

473
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: In the second half. I would absolutely love it.

474
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: James Connor is one of those guys that's sort of

475
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: I won't say it gets overlooked, but I think he

476
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: sort of gets underdrafted a little bit because we want

477
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: other guys who maybe seem more explosive or sexier names,

478
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: and James Connor doesn't really fit into that a whole lot.

479
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: So I think sometimes he kind of slips through the

480
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: cracks but continues to be productive, you know. And now

481
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: he's actually staying healthy, he's staying on the field. That's

482
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: a big, big game of success. Mention it stop. I

483
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: mean it's already out there, al already in the atmosphere.

484
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Now already put that evil on you, Ricky Bobby. It's

485
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: too late, I mean, there is. Let's come back to

486
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks here, because my hot take is that Russell

487
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: Wilson is going to be a top twelve quarterback for

488
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season.

489
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 2: It's not going to be pretty.

490
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some rough weeks there with Russ, but

491
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: the schedule really looks nice for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

492
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: Down the stretch.

493
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: They have some really positive matchups and he is elevating

494
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: all the other pass catchers around him. We already kind

495
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: of knew what George Pickens was, and Pickens was finding

496
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: a way to be productive even with justin fields on

497
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: the on the field right there. But now I think

498
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Russe is gonna throw a little bit of a nicer

499
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: deep ball. He's not gonna look to run as much,

500
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: which means he's going to get the ball out, he's

501
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna deliver it, and you're just gonna see an elevation

502
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: in the Steelers passing game for the rest of the season.

503
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: And so it's not going to be exciting, you know,

504
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: like you're not. This is not the Russ Russell Wilson

505
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: that we saw all those years in Seattle. But I

506
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a quality, sort of steady guy.

507
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: If you're looking to stream quarterbacks, I think Russell Wilson

508
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: is going to be a nice matchup bass play for

509
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: you for good stretches of the year. You're gotta be

510
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: surprised and in the back half of the season, you're

511
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: gonna look around and say, Man, Russell Wilson's kind of

512
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: a fringe QB one. Not something that I was expecting

513
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: this year. That's the thing that we love. Now, let's

514
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: talk about one of our favorite moments from the past week.

515
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: We are loving the fact that a change in quarterbacks

516
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: in Cleveland has elevated a lot of the Browns past catchers.

517
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: But also we just love listening to the guy who

518
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: has taken over as the quarterback for the Browns.

519
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: There's a white boy from Detroit that I am. And

520
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: he said, you only get one shot. Do not miss

521
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 5: a chance to blow this opportunity last once in a lifetime.

522
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 5: And I know I got a quote, you know, eminem

523
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 5: he from Detroit, he right up the road. But man,

524
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 5: I'm just grateful. I'm grateful that the Lord provided me

525
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: with this opportunity. I'm grateful for my teammates, my coaches,

526
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 5: and he's amazing fans.

527
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: Oh, Jamis dropping some Marshall Mathers there the postgame press.

528
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: Look while we were jugging for the show, we had

529
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: like three different Jamis quotes to pick from in this way.

530
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 4: Yes, oh my god, how he just starts white boy

531
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: up the street from Detroit.

532
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: Like man, Jamis as an eminent. This was world's colliding

533
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 3: for me. Look, James, you watched the lyrics a little bit,

534
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: but I still loved it.

535
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: Oh Man, absolutely, Next, you got to get him some

536
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: some mac miller. Maybe when they play the Steelers or something.

537
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: If they played the Steelers again, right, you can drop.

538
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: Some quarter miller. I'd buy his jersey immediately.

539
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: During Jais the gauntlet has been thrown down, but the

540
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: absolutely a moment that we loved from this past week.

541
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: In the meantime, that is it.

542
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: We are done.

543
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,400
