00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,880

00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: about the wild Carson, you shouldn't get excited about the

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: wild card, like we don't have to like I don't

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: like to do like I don't like. Here's the I

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't like. I went to USC, right, so

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about U c l A. Right.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: But the thing, the thing that I will respect U

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: c l A for is like you go to PAULI Pavilion, right,

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: and they have their championship banners for all their basketball years,

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: right when John Wooden was like running things there. And

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the one thing they say is, we don't put up

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: championships for We don't put up banners for conference championships.

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: You guys are basically putting up banners for kind we

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: ask you guys are the Colts, You guys are the

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: cult celebrating your wild card? B does it? You win

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: in the postseason, you celebrate, You move on to the

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: next city. But that's what we're doing, right. But it's like, yeah,

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: it's cool, like you know the playoffs. You are celebrating

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: this like you have been on this all day, Like

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: this is the first that the Cubs, Like Cubs, clean

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: yourself up. No, not a little self respect, it's passion.

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: It calls passion self respect. We've never been there. I

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: can help you out of fabs. I'll say this to Marcus,

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: and it's a fair point. I'm not gonna a little

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: self respect. Very very fair point, I will say. For me,

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: at least personally, I think some fans might feel the

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: same way when the Yankees did win and oh nine

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: with the kind of bought team, when you had a

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Rod and you had you know, you got Sabathia who

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: now has becoming I guess a true Yankee, and Burnette,

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: all those kind of guys. It's a way, way different

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: field with this team because it feels like this team

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: was brought from the found like Cashion did his job,

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: like made a lot of trades, got guys in the

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: farm system. Now it's Judge, it's Tours, it's Gary Sanchez,

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: it's Deedy in a great trade that no one spoke

55
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: about when when he first made it happen. Um Luis

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Severina who pitched yesterday for us, like he was a

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: guy in our system. So it's it's reminds us of

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: like those Jeter revers, a new excitement with this team.

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: It's a new young squad. It's fine, clean yourself up.

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I tried not doing it, but you're not gonna get it.

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: You hate the Yankees. You're gonna have every excuse in

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: the book. What I really want is for this series,

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: I would like the earth to crack open and swallow

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: both these friends. That's really what I want. Anyway, we

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: got playing to talk about on this one. Of course,

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Week five is underway by the time you listen to this. Uh,

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football game maybe in in progress or

68
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: have been played. By the time that's done. We'll get

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: to the rest of week five. We'll have course have

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Eddie's delirious pick. Oh wait, wait, hi, Eddie did actually

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: officially say Hi, you jumped in, But how are you today?

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: I am very good. I think our our Yankees kind

73
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: of open their show. I'm feeling great. He's probably wearing

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: his interlocking n Why hat there behind the glass. I

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: am yeah, I love it. I can obviously care very

76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: much of my fantasy football team right now. It's very

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: equal with my with my Yankees right now. So here

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: you go. So, of course we'll have Eddie's delirious pick.

79
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: We'll do some mail back questions. Uh and uh, you know,

80
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: a whole lot of other things going on in this show,

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: but first let's do some news. You will start in Cincinnati,

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon returned to practice this week. He is hoping

83
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: to be cleared in time for the Bengals game against

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Has been out for a couple of weeks

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: dealing with some injury issues. But this seems to be

86
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: just in time, right because Mixing is back, Joe Bernard

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: looks like he might be out, so it's just sort

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: of a rotating door at running back. But it was

89
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: either way, it's a really good matchup for those Yeah,

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: it is, and Dolphins have been bad. They've given up

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: six scores and the fourth most points to running back

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: so far this season. So regardless of who is starting

93
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, they're starting for your fantasy football team. Yeah,

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: pretty much. I mean, Joe Mixon was the thing that

95
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: that surprised me in Week one was just how many

96
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: snaps he got. I mean, we all knew much, machine,

97
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: we all knew he was going to lead that backfield,

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: but the fact that you know, in week one, Jie

99
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Bernard was not a thing. I mean, we're people were

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: dropping Geo and it made sense because I think I

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: think Joe makes it play something like the Snaps, and

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: it was like, although, if you've been writing Geo the

103
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: last few weeks, man has been really good. It's a loss.

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's gonna go back to the bench, it

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: looks like for the time being, and it'll be Joe

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Mixon's show. Uh, speaking of back to the bench, Leonard

107
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: Fournette back to the bench, and I'll see why Hilton

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: out for for Thursday night football. But the bigger thing

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: with the four Nett he was hurt early, he came

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: back maybe a little too soon, got hurt again, and

111
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: now they're saying there's no timetable for when he comes back.

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean it could be a while for him to

113
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: be out. Obviously it's a big deal this year. But

114
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: this is starting to become the story of Leonard four Nett.

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is the thing. I feel like

116
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna start to follow him. Like we

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: get we get to August next year, we're talking about

118
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: drafts again. I feel like the story with Leonard Fournett's

119
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna be Yeah, but can you trust him to stay healthy? Yeah,

120
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. And now if you well, first off,

121
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: if you handcuffed him with yelled in. I mean that

122
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: would be tremendous because now you've got a guy who

123
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: should see the lion's share of the touches for the Jaguars,

124
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: and he's got the Chiefs this week, and that is

125
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: just a great matchup. But these hamstring injuries, you've got this,

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: you've got the one with Dalvin Cook as well. I mean,

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: these things could take some time to heal, and so

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: you could be playing without four Net, who you probably

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: drafted in round one or two, or Dalvin Cooke round

130
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: one or two for a few weeks now. And to me,

131
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: and I said this earlier in the week, I would

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: rather the teams let these guys get healthy. Okay, stop

133
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: screwing around putting them in games with snap counts and

134
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: all this ridiculousness. Sit them down, let them get healthy,

135
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: come back. You're good to go, because both of these

136
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: guys are very important keys to their offenses, especially Leonard

137
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: four Nett. But in the meantime, t J. Yelden is

138
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: a very nice start. Yeah, It's it's easy for you

139
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to say because you're not trying. Your your paycheck doesn't

140
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: hinge on you winning football games either, and well, I know,

141
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: but I have to be smart with these guys like

142
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: you don't you don't you know, win these games now

143
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: you got you gotta really worry about what's gonna happen

144
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: in the future. And I'd rather have a guy like

145
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook or Leonard Fournett in the second half of

146
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the season when I'm making my playoff push than right now,

147
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: because these teams can get through without their lead backs

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: at this point, I believe. But once you get to

149
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, man defenses are a

150
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: little bit worn down, and the running position becomes even

151
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: the running back position becomes even more valuable. I just

152
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: think I'd rather have these guys healthy in the second

153
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: half of the season, run them and have that advantage

154
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: in your backfield. Uh. It's I mean, it's it's an

155
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: interesting and look at this and so I'm looking at

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: the headlines that we have here, right, it's all running

157
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: back talk. Right. So Malvin Cook, you mentioned he's questionable.

158
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly when he's gonna be back. Uh

159
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: you know how how serious this this issue is gonna be.

160
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: You mentioned he said he's not a hundred percent so

161
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: far on this thing. Uh. The good news DeVante Freeman

162
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: is back after being out since Week one when he

163
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: suffered an injury in the season opener against the Eagles.

164
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: He's expected to come back and play this week against

165
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers. So it looks like the Falcons offense is

166
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna be full squad. Uh. And look, they have been

167
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: running on all cylinders lately anyway, but now you had

168
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman back against a bad Steelers defense, and it's

169
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: it's all systems go there. Yeah, and uh, Dan Quinn,

170
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Falcons, is already confirmed that

171
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Freeman is going to play this week, so you can

172
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: get him back into your starting lineup. I say he

173
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: is an RB two. Uh Quinn's quotes here was that

174
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Freeman feels good and explosive. Those are two good things

175
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: to feel when you're running back or an NFL player,

176
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: regardless of position. And this is gonna be an absolute

177
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: barnburner there at Hinesfield. I I think we all sort

178
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: of expect that. And neither one of these teams has

179
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: a defense, So you put Freeman back in your lineup.

180
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: Coleman definitely goes back to being more of a flex

181
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: starter and edo Smith to the waiver wire um last one.

182
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman settle down all right? Sorry Vans Joseph saying

183
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman meets more. And you know, he played very

184
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: well last week against the Chiefs, you know, and he

185
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: has played pretty well when he's gotten opportunities. But it's

186
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: just it's been hard obviously with Philip Lindsay playing so well.

187
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: I guess my answer to this is why why are

188
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: we forcing Davante Booker on onto the world? Right? I mean,

189
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of what it is, right because

190
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is playing great. Uh, Royce Freeman when he's

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: gotten the opportunity has played great. Why, you know, I

192
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like like Dracks in in Infinity

193
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: where why is like? Why is DeVante Booker at this point?

194
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: That's that's I feel like, that's that's the guy who's

195
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna end up losing in this whole situation. Freeman is

196
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: so good, I mean, guy's average in five yards an attempt.

197
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: He looked great last week, but he's just not getting

198
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: enough touches. I mean, that's the bottom line. And that's

199
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: what we're hearing now from Vance Joe's Hey Freeman touch bare? Now?

200
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Is that going to be at the expense of Philip lindsay,

201
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think you're right that it's

202
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: going to be at the expensive Booker because why why

203
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: have Booker in the game. You've got two really good

204
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: running backs, two young guys who have fresh legs, who

205
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: are playmakers, and of course I would like to see

206
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Freeman get more touches because that was kind of my

207
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: guy going into the season. And you know, he's had

208
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: double digit PPR points in two straight games and he's

209
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: not catching any balls. I mean, it's all on the ground.

210
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: So this week they've got the Jets, I say, Royson lindsay,

211
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: you're both in that flex starter conversation. Maybe Royce moves

212
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: into the RB to situation. We'll see what happens advanced.

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: Joseph is good on his word, and he does, in

214
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: fact get Freeman more touches this week. Uh. You know,

215
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: this is probably a bigger conversation for another podcast, but

216
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: just looking at this and thinking about how the season

217
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: has played out through four plus weeks, I don't know

218
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna draft a running back in the first

219
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: round next year. I just don't. I mean, unless unless

220
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm the top pick, Unless I'm the one overall, Palvin Kumara,

221
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: Zeke Galliott, Todd Gurley, Nunne No, no, I mean just

222
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: because like maybe Barkley has been awesome, right, But part

223
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: of it is that And and I know this has

224
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: been the argument. This was sort of the argument that

225
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: led us to zero RB. And I know we've debated

226
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: that part at nauseum or whatever. But part of it

227
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: has been the fragility of running backs and guys that

228
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: get hurt and the fact that so many of these

229
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: guys that are in the top part that you can

230
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: get decent production from a guy that you're getting in

231
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the third round. So I don't know, I mean, there's

232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: still plenty of time before we get to next draft season.

233
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: And and like, like I said, this is a bigger

234
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: conversation for a different time. But man, it's just been

235
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: rough out there. Man, it's hard out there for a

236
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: running back pimp. That's all I know. Um, that's pretty

237
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. You. G Suite is a

Speaker 1: Hence their new campaign. Make it with g sweet. You

242
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: know when you have twenty identical versions of a document

243
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: labeled final and no clue which is the latest, So

244
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: you make another version you name that one final Final.

245
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean you've been there, right, I mean. With g

248
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,840

253
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: for this show. It's got to put it in a

258
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: five is upon us. Let's let's talk this one out right.

259
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Let's start. Let's start with Titans Bills right up in Buffalo.

260
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: The Titans maybe kind of the most underrated team in

261
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: the league through the first month of the season. I mean,

262
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: they're three and one, They're not They're not pretty. It's

263
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily aesthetically pleasing to watch the Titans play. Um,

264
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: but they're winning games, and last week they showed some offense.

265
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota moved the ball. Corey Davis had his breakout game,

266
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: So like, are they a thing now? Are they a

267
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: thing you can you can kind of trust now? Trust? No,

268
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: certainly not trust. Um Mariota had a very good game

269
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: and it came out of nowhere because well, matchup plus,

270
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: he can't make all the throws with the bad elbow,

271
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously he could make enough throws to

272
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: be successful, and the matchup is good against Buffalo this week,

273
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: although game script you could see this team running the

274
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: football quite a bit in the second half. We'll see

275
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: what happens here. But um, I think Dean Lewis is

276
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: the best play of the Titans when you're looking at

277
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: the Bills and what they can't do against the run.

278
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: So this is a very nice play in PPR leagues.

279
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean Derrick Henry, I mean I'm still really struggling

280
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: to even consider giving people the recommendation of playing him

281
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: despite what's a great match up on paper. And Corey

282
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: Davis I wrote and start him at sid him in.

283
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people agree with me. Yeah, you you

284
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: kind of went out on this week because a lot

285
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: of people are doing disagreeing with me. But one big

286
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: week does not guarantee another big week. And if you

287
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: look at the numbers right now, I get it, the

288
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: Bills are bad, you know, I get it. They're they're

289
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: not a good team. But Davis runs most of his

290
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: routes out wide, and the Bills have only given up

291
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and they're giving up an average of twenty

292
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,599
Speaker 1: points a game in PPR leagues to wide receivers that

293
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: are out wide. And again game script, if Tennessee is

294
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: up in this game, they're not gonna throw the football.

295
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: They're gonna run a little bit more. Davis maybe not

296
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna see as many opportunities. People are probably not gonna

297
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: listen to me, which is fine, and they're probably gonna

298
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: start them because they see the big number last week.

299
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if Corey Davis gives you a disappointing

300
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: stat line this week. The one thing I will say

301
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: is the Bill's defense has not been They have been

302
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire right even to the season. Thinking okay,

303
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: we'll just pick on the Bills're gonna be a dumpster fire.

304
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: They got torched in Week one by the and and

305
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: like they have not been off. I mean they're rushing defense,

306
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: They're they're the number twelve rushing defense in the league

307
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: right now. I mean that's not that's not bad, you

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Overall, I think they're the twentieth

309
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: ranked defense. I mean, again, it's not the bottom of

310
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the barrel. It's not great, but it's not the bottom

311
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: of the barrel. So this is a team that, you know,

312
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: maybe they're not the easy mark that we thought they

313
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: were at the start of the year. Now that doesn't

314
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: mean I'm not you know, I'd still start some guys

315
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: against them. You know, I still started Aaron Rodgers and

316
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: I started my Packers against them last week. But they

317
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: are not easy marks. They're not the Bucks, they're not

318
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: the Falcons, they're not the Steelers. I mean, they're better

319
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: defensively than a lot of teams in this league. Yeah,

320
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: their their weakness. Uh, and again I know they're it's

321
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: weird because you hear, like, you know, Buffalo is ranked

322
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, so and so in rushing, but that's all

323
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: about yards. It doesn't really have anything to do with touchdowns,

324
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: but they they have been giving up right around seven

325
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: catches a game to running backs. They're still one of

326
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: the worst teams in terms of allowing fantasy points to

327
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. But overall, I mean they have some

328
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: they have some talent. You know, why does a good corner.

329
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's why I'm a little bit of

330
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: a I guess a negative nancy when when it comes

331
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: to Corey Davis this week on the flip side, has

332
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: anyone seen Shady McCoy, I mean, like physically seen him right, Like,

333
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, on Sundays when we're here at the Network

334
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: and we're watching games, usually we're in a room, there's

335
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: like a bunch of TVs on, and uh, you know,

336
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of watching all sorts of different things. And

337
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: literally I feel like every time I watched the Buffalo Bills,

338
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I've never act really seen Lashawn McCoy with the football, Like,

339
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: and I look at the box score and I see,

340
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: obviously he doesn't get the ball a lot. He's not

341
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: doing a lot. I have not actually physically seen him

342
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: touch the ball this year, and it makes me wonder

343
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: whether or not he has actually still a real person

344
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: or if he's vaporized into another dimension. Um, it's bad,

345
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why it's so bad this year.

346
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: It's well, look at right now, he's he's tied for

347
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: fiftie and touches among running backs and and you know

348
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: he's not high. He didn't he did miss that one

349
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: one game. But I mean he's averaging nine point seven

350
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: touches a game. That's it. This is the Sean McCoy.

351
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: This guy is not you know, some some curtain jerker.

352
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the best offensive player that the Bills

353
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: have gett he's playing with the rib. Maybe that's affecting

354
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: him more than than we all think. And the bottom

355
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: line here is though, if you dropped McCoy, you came

356
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: into the season knowing there was some risk despite what

357
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: he did last year. Different team offenses, struggling offensive line

358
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: is worse rookie quarterback or Nathan Peterman, which is maybe

359
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: worse than quarterback. We'll see. Uh it has been so far.

360
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: But even with Josh Allen under center, I mean McCoy

361
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: is not doing much of anything. The Titans are good

362
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: against the run this week. Some McCoy is a fade

363
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: for me and He's going to continue to be a

364
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: fade for me until he actually does something on the

365
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: on the football field that makes me have a little

366
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: bit of confidence that he can be maybe not what

367
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: he's been in the past, but a little bit closer

368
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: than he has been, because right now he's not startable.

369
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand what the Bills are doing

370
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: with him. I don't understand what Brian day Will is

371
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: doing at the as the offensive coordinator. Like, obviously you're

372
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: struggling to run the football, okay, fine, but you're not

373
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: even throwing it to him. I mean, he has been

374
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: a good pass catching back throughout his career. I mean

375
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: that's been a big part of what he has done,

376
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: and yet for some reason, they're just not even using

377
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: him in that capacity. And I can't. I cannot figure

378
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: it out. And right now, if you've got him, would

379
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: you drop him? Nah? I I couldn't. Dry I try

380
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: to trade him, their package him or something, because you're

381
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: not gonna get much for him unless you could package him.

382
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody in your league is big on big names

383
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: and thinks coy is gonna turn it around. I certainly

384
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: do not think that's the case. But dropping him all together.

385
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, if somebody in my league drops him,

386
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to pick him up, even though he's

387
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: thinking just to throw him on my bench and hoping

388
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: he catches a hot streak. If I saw the show,

389
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if I saw the Sean McQuinn, the waiver wire,

390
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that I picked him up. Dude,

391
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: there's there's just nothing on my waiver wire running back.

392
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: I just I don't so. And I look at I

393
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: look at the schedule. I mean, the Titans this week,

394
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: and the Texans and Colts are like whatever the Patriots are.

395
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: But he got the Bears, he's got the Jets, he's

396
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: got the Jaguars. I don't know that I want any

397
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: part of it. The only the only real hope is

398
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: that before the trading deadline, the Bill ship him out

399
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: to somewhere else that's going to actually use him, because

400
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: as long as he stays in Buffalo, I I don't

401
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: know that he's usable. I don't know that he's rosterable.

402
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: Right now, he's a guy that he's definitely on your bench.

403
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's no doubt about that. I'll give you

404
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: one player. And this is desperation. Guys, Okay, this is desperation.

405
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: If you go ahead and you and and you bench

406
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown for this guy, don't come crying to me

407
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter. No, no no know, desperation. Okay, let me make

408
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: sure that that's in desperation. Tennessee has given up the

409
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: third most yards to wide receivers lined up out wide

410
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns. If you say, Kelvin Benjamin, I'm walking

411
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: out the door and in a game where the Bills

412
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: can be behind, Kelvin benj Kelvin Benjamin, I said desperation.

413
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: All right. I'm not telling you. I'm not telling you

414
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: to start him. I'm saying I have nobody to play

415
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: in a flex spot in the PPR League. I am desperate,

416
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: and Kelvin Benjamin's on my bench or on the waiver wire.

417
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the numbers. I'm just looking at

418
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: the numbers, desperation. Even if you get your three catches

419
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: for twenty eight yards in a touchdown, that's double digit

420
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: PPR points. I'm just saying, you know, Monday, you can

421
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: come in here and you can give me a back

422
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: end and say, what the hell were you thinking? But

423
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the numbers. On next gen and

424
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Titans aren't good against the wide receiver

425
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: position out wide, so we'll see, we'll see. I'm not

426
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: saying he's great. I said desperate. You know what, desperate

427
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: me this is. This is where the Bills are with desperate.

428
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: It's it's it's what all the Yankee haters are out

429
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: there right now. Desperate. Uh no, we just hate the Yankees.

430
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: Um desperate faalkins at Steelers, is there anybody you're not playing? No? Really,

431
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: I mean really maybe maybe Chris Boswell. I don't know,

432
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: like because he hasn't really done all the heck of

433
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: that much. I'm not starting either run of the defenses.

434
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: But the two players who may be under the radar,

435
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: under the radar, I guess is relative. But like Vance

436
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: McDonald um tent targets in the last two games and Atlanta,

437
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: Hey listen to their defense, we know is all banged up.

438
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: Uh they've already lost three important keys. So he's he's

439
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: certainly a potential top ten tight end this week. And

440
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Austin Hooper a little bit, but Mohammedan

441
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: knew as well. Steelers not good against the slot. That's

442
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: where some new makes is. Hey, so he could be

443
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: a potential sleeper this week as well, But you're basically

444
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: starting everybody. Yeah, pretty much. Uh not no reason to

445
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time, not because that' that's pretty

446
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: much it's gonna go Broncos at Jets this week. I've

447
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: taken to calling da Marius Thomas basically a PPR running

448
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: back without the running outside, because that's kind of what

449
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: he is. Like I I looked at it this week

450
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: and his numbers are very similar to Jalen Richard of

451
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: the Raiders and Jaylor Richard is not a guy. Certainly

452
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: you're not starting him. He's not on a lot of

453
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: rosters anywhere. And if you take away, if you if

454
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you're blind, taste test right, you're not looking, you're probably

455
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna move the Maarrius times just gonna put

456
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: him on the wave of wire and try to trade

457
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: him like you're not playing him, Like is this is

458
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: this our life now? Is Is he gonna be a

459
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: thing this year? Is? I don't think he is. I

460
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: think he's he'll he'll have some games that you'll you'll

461
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: sort of you know, pique your ears up in the moon,

462
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: d t you, But it's not gonna be this week.

463
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: And it's weird because you know Startment said him, which

464
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I've been writing for like two decades. Um. This is

465
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: the first time ever that the start of the week

466
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: and the city of the week at the same position

467
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: our teammates. So I've got Emmanuel Sanders as my start

468
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: of the week because number one, people are a little

469
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: down on him after what he didn't do last week

470
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: and what was a great matchup against the Chiefs. But

471
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: the Jets have given up thirty eight catches, the second

472
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: most yards of slot receivers this season. Sanders lines up

473
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: in the slot about sixty two percent of the time.

474
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: They're not good against the slot, but they're really tough

475
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: against wide receivers who are lined out wide, which is

476
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: exactly where Da Marius Thomas typically is. Right now, Quarterbacks

477
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: against the Jets have a fifty nine point two passer

478
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: rating when they're throwing the ball the wide receivers out wide,

479
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: which is why I don't like to Marius Thomas. But

480
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: we have to give it to Marius. We'll throw him

481
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bone here case Keenum blew

482
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: that throw last week. He blew that throw, And don't

483
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: tell me that Marius Thomas wasn't running hard. Come on, dude,

484
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a fast guy. He was not

485
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: dogging it there. Case Keenum has had him for the

486
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: touchdown and he missed it. He just missed. He missed it.

487
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: So but his value is certainly on the decline, and

488
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. I'd fade him this week,

489
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, So case Keenum, one of the things that

490
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: we said going into the season was, hey, man, he's

491
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: gotta be better than Trevor Simeon, right, And I guess

492
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I like his voice that he did

493
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: then too, because we have to do the Cowboys thing

494
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: on the show today, So Marcus got back into the

495
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys right like you know, So like I guess technically

496
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: he kind of has been. But the one thing I

497
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: feared is that we would be reminded why Case Keenum

498
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: has been a career back that good Case Keenum stayed

499
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, right. I mean last year was as you

500
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: would say, it's it was the magical season for him

501
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and and he sort of caught lightning in a bottle.

502
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: And I think the Broncos and a lot of us,

503
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, and as fantasy analysts were sort of hoping

504
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: that maybe he could recapture a little bit of that

505
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: that Obviously, obviously Sanders and Thomas are pretty good. I

506
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: don't know that they're you know, feeling in digs good,

507
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: but they're not bad. But right now he looks like

508
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: the same old Case Keenum, who was a backup you know,

509
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: in Houston and in St. Louis and you know, with

510
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: the you know, with the l A Rams and with

511
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: the you know, for the he was the third string

512
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: guy with the Vikings. They had a couple of guys

513
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: get hurt, and that's how he got to play. And

514
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: now we're remembering that, and and that's gonna have an

515
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: impact on on everybody else in that offense unless he

516
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: somehow becomes Minnesota Case Keenum. Again, your lucky yak Bar

517
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: is not here. He's out in New York doing the

518
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: Neck and Kelly show because he's a big fancy pants

519
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and he's a big Case Keenum guy. So he's a

520
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: huge case now. I and Keenum's not a guy that

521
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: I can play, I mean, not even in the two

522
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: QB league unless you're really hurting. I play in a

523
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: couple of these two QB leagues, and trust me, man

524
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: if I've got like a third running back who's really

525
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: good and it's a PPR league and I only got

526
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: case Keenum as an option off the waiver wire as

527
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: my quarterback, no super flex leagues, I would be bench

528
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: in case Keenum all day long. Yeah, probably this one.

529
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: I think you will for the Jets. The running back

530
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 1: situation has been sort of hard to figure out. So

531
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, is it Powell or crow Well? So, like,

532
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. I mean, fifty of the snaps

533
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: for Powell or Powell. That's that's one of those word things,

534
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: like it's not crow Well, it's but it's Pow Right,

535
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: it's Powell and Crowell. But I's like calling him Powell

536
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: and crow Yeah, and the crow That will make it

537
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: easier the snaps. But then when you look at the touches,

538
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're almost right down the middle in favor

539
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: of Ballal. Dude, if you start one of these two

540
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: guys and get a good performance from it, it ain't

541
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: it ain't skill, it's luck. On it ain't skill, it's luck.

542
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't trust either one of them. Um. I think

543
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: I've always just kind of sided with Balal Powell. But

544
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: you know, there's just there Ballal Power weeks, there, Isaiah

545
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: Crowell weeks, and then there are weeks like last week

546
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: where there's like nobody was nobody, just nobody Packers at Lions.

547
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: Where have you gone, Jimmy Graham? Where have you? Does

548
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: anybody see? And he so he scored a tadsdown last week,

549
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: you know, finally got in the end zone and it

550
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: was kind of early in the game. He thought, oh,

551
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's gonna hap him and like, no, I

552
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: mean I was I thought this, I thought this was it.

553
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I thought this was gonna be the year for Jimmy Graham.

554
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: And he just he's just he's been nothing in this offer.

555
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: He's been invisible. It's not even like he's been like mediocre,

556
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: he's just been invisible. Yeah, and he's currently sixth in

557
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: terms of targets among tight ends with but this could

558
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: be a good week because it seems like every Packers

559
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver has hurt, all of them, like Adams has heard,

560
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Cobb has hurt. Uh, you know, Allison is hurt. I

561
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: talked to James Jones earlier today said the Packers call

562
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: you this week because they may be hurting for wide receivers.

563
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. So if they're down uh two or

564
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: three of those wide receivers and they've got to go

565
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: with some young guys there, Jimmy Graham could see more

566
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: targets in this contest. And a guy that I've got of,

567
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: Eric Jones, gave him the damn ball there on the

568
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: ball last week proved anything. This guy is the best

569
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: running back in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers backed him up

570
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: and said, we gotta get him the ball. He's the

571
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: best back we've had since Ryan Grant. He reminds of

572
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant. Get him the damn ball. The Lions stink

573
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: against the run. Aaron Jones is a big time sleeper

574
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: this week. And it was funny because I was talking

575
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: to Cynthia Freeloom last week and I said, you know,

576
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: I got a feeling Aaron Jones is gonna have a

577
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: good game this week. I'm not gonna play him, don't

578
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: trust myself enough to start him, but I think he's

579
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a good game. And he had a good game.

580
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm saying start Aaron Jones. Don't start him over

581
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: your league guys, but if you need a flex starter

582
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: this week, you can do worse. The Lions stink against

583
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: the run. We've seen running backs just dash them every

584
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: single week basically. So go out and start Aaron Jones

585
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: with confidence, and hopefully, hopefully we'll start to see Aaron

586
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Jones emerge as that featured back. It's been a three

587
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: headed monster, we'll see. And maybe this is the perfect

588
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: storm too, because if you've seen Green Bay missing two

589
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: or three wide receivers this time, Montgomery, maybe go out

590
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: and run some more routes, which opens up the backfield

591
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones a little bit, because Jamal Williams certainly

592
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: is not that good. And one thing that I saw

593
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: in Pro Football Focus, which was was very interesting to me,

594
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: is that Aaron Jones is their highest rated pass blucker

595
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: in that backfield, which is kind of what we've been exactly.

596
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: And if he can get the job done there, I mean,

597
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: get y up, give him the ball. So about that,

598
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: and this is sort of you sound like you're about

599
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: to poop me? Yeah, okay, um this this and this

600
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: is sort of a blanket thing, not just about the Packers,

601
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: but about all these running back situations where we keep

602
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: like begging and I feel like at some point we're

603
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: all kind of shouting into the wind, right, because we

604
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: look around, we look at Green Bay, we look in Detroit.

605
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, pick another one picking on. He's like

606
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: confusing everywhere. Well Seattle used to be. I mean, um

607
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: shouting you know into the wind for like start you know,

608
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: player X right, and like, at some point, I think

609
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: we just have to be resigned to the fact that,

610
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: like these coaches are just gonna do what they're gonna

611
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: do for whatever reason and why we might look at

612
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: it and say that this guy is better than that guy.

613
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Like Mike McCarthy is gonna Mike McCarthy this up. He's

614
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: just he's gonna do. Like, but if Aaron Rodgers is

615
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: in his ear, you know, the zillion dollar quarterback in

616
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: the State farm commercials, Dude, if he's in his ear,

617
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: we'll see, man, we'll see, We'll see. I mean, you know,

618
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: we all we all want things. Um it's good to

619
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: one thing. It is good to one things. Um. Oh

620
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: by the other side. So speaking of which, Detroit, just

621
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: get carry on, carry on, dude, I mean, look at

622
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: the look at the touches to like last week only

623
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: ten right and La Garrett seven, and they're still they're

624
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: still dividing it up right. I mean, so so far

625
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: four games for Detroit, carry On had four more touches

626
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: than la Garrett Blunt. In week one, he had four

627
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: more in game two, He tied him in game three,

628
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: and had three more in game four, So there's not

629
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: a large difference. There's not a large gap in between touches.

630
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: And even after carry On had the hundred yard game

631
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: first one for the Lions running backs since Thanksgiving, the

632
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: gap didn't increase much at it was three And you know,

633
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and I get it, you know, with with with with

634
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: that contest there um, you know, the Lions through the

635
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: ball with a lot of success, especially to Golden Tate.

636
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: So they didn't they didn't run it as much as

637
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: maybe we would hope. But I mean, carry On is

638
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: clearly the best guy that they got in that backfield

639
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: this week. Not a great matchup against the Packers either,

640
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you worry about game script. You know,

641
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: the Packers maybe get a head although depending on what

642
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: happens with their wide receivers, maybe that's not the case.

643
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, give him the ball. Man. Imagine if

644
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: fantasy owners, like we're we're head coaches, life would be

645
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: so good. We'd never have ever. Well, first off, Julio

646
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: Jones would have all of the touchdowns. Yes, just just

647
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: give the ball to one guy and that's it. The

648
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: best guy here, Aaron Jones have twenty carries. I mean,

649
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but we're we're just lowly fans. It is

650
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: the just give it to your good players theory. Yeah,

651
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows? It seems to you know, be smart,

652
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: you think so Ravens at Brown's look, I have been

653
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: all about the fla conaissance and you know it takes

654
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: it goes for a week or two that it takes

655
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: a week off on the road in Cleveland. I guess

656
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: the Browns defense that the last few weeks has not

657
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: really been as tough as it was the first couple

658
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: of weeks. So maybe it's a game on for Joe

659
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: Flaggo this week. I have misseds Sid Actually, um, I

660
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: do have missed it. He's had a nice start to

661
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: the season. Uh, seventeen plus points in three of his

662
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: first four games. Although getting seventeen now are eighteen from

663
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback is is not really mean. That used to

664
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: be a pretty good week, but not now. It's like

665
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: you have to get like twenties, like your floor if

666
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: I didn't get twenty A couple of weeks ago, Philip

667
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Rivers scored twenty one, was like QB twelve dudemet Long

668
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: this week he was twelve, right, you know, like right, so,

669
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: but the Browns, uh, they've held flaccoat if you were

670
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: than sixteen and a half fantasy points and six of

671
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: the last eight home games. And Marcus knows. I love

672
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: to look at those trends, you know, they're fun so

673
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: and what I think could end up being a lower

674
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: scoring game, I would fade flakow. I don't like Mayfield

675
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: this week either. Yeah, may feel like I think it's

676
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: stay away from By the way, we're just sort of

677
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: doomed to a life of Buck Allen, aren't we like well,

678
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: Alex Alex Collins, good holding onto the football, he would

679
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: be their guy. But he'll run well, he'll do some things,

680
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: and then he'll get into the goal line and he'll

681
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: cough it up, and then we see Buck Allen get

682
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: like the next ten carries in a row. It's frustrating. Yeah,

683
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Hardbud doesn't want us to have nice things and apparently

684
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: knows for sure. But Alex Collins did pop up on

685
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: the injury report this week. Now, the last thing that

686
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: we've heard from our Tom Palaicero uh is that Collins's

687
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: absence from Thursday's practice was quote precautionary, so keep tabs

688
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: on his status. But if for some reason or another

689
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Collins can't go this week, then Buck Allen Marcus, his

690
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: favorite USC product, could end up being a potential flick starter.

691
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I love you fight on forever, but man,

692
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: break a tackle one time. But you know what I

693
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: thought of you when I was watching the game last week?

694
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: He had one run and you'll remember it where he

695
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: carried like three Steelers on his back. Yeah that was

696
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: kind of He's not breaking tackles, but he's carrying like

697
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: three dudes on him. I'm like, man, who is that dude? Work? Right? Yeah?

698
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: That was crazy. So Nick Chubb had a big week

699
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: last week. Had played three snaps, had three carries and

700
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: led the bronze and rushing like a hundred five yards

701
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Now, mind you, if you take away

702
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: the two big long touchdown runs, he just had one

703
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: carry for one yard, So obviously he sucks um this week,

704
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson has said he wants to get Nick chubbed

705
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: the ball more so, and he's got to get more opportunities.

706
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm not I'm not saying you rushed Nick Chubb

707
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: into your lineup because again, most of that came on

708
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: two really big runs, and that's a sort of that's

709
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: a hard way to live. But it does make me

710
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: worried that we're gonna start to see the beginning of

711
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: the end of of Carlos Hide as the back who's

712
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: dominating the touches in that backfield. That's what worries. I mean,

713
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is worth like a speculative ad. But I

714
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: mean when you look at all the numbers right now,

715
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Carlos Hides got eighty seven touches and Chubb

716
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: has ten. You know, Duke Johnson is in there too

717
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: with one. You know, the snap count heavily favorite Carlos

718
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: Hide and Marcus you know better than to believe anything

719
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson's he said Tyrod Taylor was going to be

720
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He was gonna be the quarterback. I mean

721
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: he was until he wasn't. But that's that's a show.

722
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: He lasted a couple of games and that was it.

723
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I'm speculative ad for me, and and

724
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: and that's it, Carlos Hide is he's been fine for

725
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: fantasy owners in that backfield. They're not using Duke Johnson

726
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: at all. This might paying him in the off season.

727
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: So unless I see a major turn into that sort

728
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: of Nick Chubb Carlos Hyde potential backfield committee, um, he's

729
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: not worth picking up unless it's just to stash him

730
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: and see what happens. I mean, I know a lot

731
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: of people kind of took dart dart throws at him

732
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: late in drafts and it hasn't paid off yet. I'm

733
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: just I want to keep an eye on that one.

734
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: I just want to keep an eye and see how

735
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: this goes in the next couple of weeks. Giants at Panthers?

736
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: Is this finally the Odell week? Is this finally the

737
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: Odell week? I mean the matchup wouldn't suggest it, Uh, Caroline,

738
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: you know Carolina defense at home? Um. One guy I

739
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: don't like this week is Sterling Shepherd and that's another

740
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: What do you mean He's had twenty plus Fantasy points

741
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: and straight games. Okay, Now, if you actually rolled those

742
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: points over, it's not like you know, cell phone minutes.

743
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: If you roll those points over into the following week,

744
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: then yeah, then I'd start Sterling Shepherd that that's not

745
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: the case, Sterling Shepherd. Uh, it's got a bad matchup.

746
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: You look at what the Panthers have done to slot

747
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: receivers so far this season, they have been very tough.

748
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Now back to O b J. And And it's funny

749
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: too because, like you know, I'm seeing a lot of

750
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: people on Twitter who are asking me, should I trade

751
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. For wide receiver X? Or should I

752
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: trade Odell Beckham Junior for wide for running back X?

753
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, I mean to trade him to me? Sure? Right?

754
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: I still have no problem and the targets still there,

755
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: He's still getting the catches um you know, you know

756
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: about you know, depth of target. You know that that's

757
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: sort of been a bit of an issue. You know,

758
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's Elijah what's his middle name, Elijah Nelson. Then

759
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: there you go, see this time he had my back, Elijah.

760
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that I'm just saying what it

761
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: used to be back and when he was in his twenties.

762
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: But I still feel like, oh b J is a

763
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: very hard player to trade away, and I do believe

764
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: that he will bounce back. But again, I said this

765
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: on the last podcaster last week, like you couldn't expect

766
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: him to be guaranteed double digit touchdowns when se Kwan

767
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Barkley is added to this offense, he just can't. I mean,

768
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: the Giants didn't never running game last year, you know.

769
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: And I get oh b J is awesome and he's

770
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: talented and he's one of the most fund wide receivers

771
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: in the league to watch, But I mean the Giants

772
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: offense changed a little bit. You know. Shechrman comes in

773
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: new system, and they have this elite running back that

774
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: they took at the top of the draft, and he's

775
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna get his touches and Quan Barkley is getting a

776
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: ton of touches. So I don't expect a huge game

777
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: from obi J. But I expect him to be startable

778
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: every single week, just like he's always been ever since

779
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: he's come into this league. But you do have to

780
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: temport your expectations because this is a different sort of

781
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: Giants offense that we're seeing and O b J has

782
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: no longer been the focal point. Maybe he will be

783
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: at some point, but right now, the best fantasy player

784
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: in Big Blue is Kwan. Right. But and but I

785
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: wonder about that, So, like, how long is that sustain

786
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: innable though, right, because yeah, sure, sure they spent the

787
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: second overall pick on him, and maybe there is some

788
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: desire in the Giants front office to try and prove

789
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: everybody wrong and saying that they were you know, it

790
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: was okay for us to take a running back at

791
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: number two, like, you know, paying no attention to the

792
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: man behind the curtain. Um. But if this offense is

793
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: still bad and if it's still you know, dragging up

794
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: the rear in terms of the NFL, and this team

795
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: continues to lose football games, I mean, the Giants right

796
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: now are one They're a bad one in three, they're

797
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: really bad one in three, and at some point it

798
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: just can't be sustainable for them to keep feeding Sae

799
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley at the expense of not moving the football.

800
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: And you go back to last year. You know, everybody

801
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: talked about how great Shermer was with that offense in Minnesota.

802
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: They still found ways to get the ball downfield to

803
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: their playmakers. And maybe part of it is that because

804
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: they lost Dalvin Cook early in the season, they had

805
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: to sort of change things up. Like who knows, maybe

806
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: if Dalvin Cook stays there all year, maybe that offense

807
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: gets bogged down and clogged up because they're trying to

808
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: get their running back going at the expense of feeling

809
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: and digs. But when he was gone, they found new

810
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: ways to do it. And I just wonder if this

811
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: thing keeps up at some point, do you go back

812
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: and look and you say, hey, look that dude that

813
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: wears number thirt team really makes this thing go. Let's

814
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: get him the football in as many possible ways. I

815
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: also think that this week Eli has seen a lot

816
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: and heard a lot about how he's missed some throws

817
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: down field, about how they have been you know, guys

818
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: open well down field that he hasn't thrown too because

819
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: he's decided to check it down to say quon. Maybe

820
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: he starts to force some things. I don't know, but

821
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think this is and I

822
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: don't know. And he get in here because you are,

823
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: you are a Residents Giants fan here like it's just look.

824
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants say Kwan to be great, and

825
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: I know his talent is certainly outstanding, but I just

826
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: feel like they can't. They can't keep doing this over

827
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: and over again if their offense isn't gonna be productive. Well,

828
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: I read a couple of interesting things that I never

829
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: even noticed, and I've watched every sad minute ever of

830
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: those games so far. He's never ran the ball three

831
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: times in a row, and there were stretches. There was

832
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: a stretched last um in last game versus Saints where

833
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman was in for eight straight snaps, So like

834
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: they're using him a lot in the checkdown role, but

835
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: they're also really not patting the rock with him, and

836
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: then and then cheffing guys second overall, and then you

837
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: put Wayne Gellman and who ends up fumbling, which kind

838
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: of changes high to that game because there was a

839
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: point where it was very close, I mean, halftime was closed. Um.

840
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: But it's also funny with that Wayne Gallman fumbled. The

841
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: original play call was throwing the ball down field, and

842
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: I think Eli, like you said, Marcus, he's just looking

843
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: to check the ball down his like his the yards

844
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: in the air for his ball. I think it's like

845
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: third in the league now third worst, uh, And there

846
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: were opportunities for him to make good throws last week

847
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: with the line who they're not great, but they blocked

848
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: better than they have UH in the in the previous

849
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: games versus Jacksonville and UH and versus the Cowboys. So like, yes,

850
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: the offense line is pretty poor. I know, like PF

851
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: only ranked two of their lineman in the seventies. Everyone

852
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: else is sixth year below, which is pretty harsh. But

853
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: there's something up with him ELI two, which is I

854
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: don't know if it's his age, him being just shell

855
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: shocked of being hit so much that he's just not

856
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: the defence is just suffering tremendously. And also I think

857
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: because the offense line is bad, you're not gonna get

858
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: a ton of rushing yards from say kwan is it.

859
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: It's just a really bad and you're not going to

860
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: get a lot of time to throw the football downfield.

861
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: So Odell Beckham can make plays in the vertical passing game,

862
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: I hope. So, I mean, I think that that's been

863
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: an issue because he because he's afraid to stand in

864
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: the pocket and make that twenty plus yard third on

865
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: the field. He's he doesn't want to, you know, do

866
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: any of those strikes where he's he's hitting uh Odell

867
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: in the vertical route. So it's it's just been a

868
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: really ugly, boring offense to watch him and they have

869
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: not scored thirty points. And it's currently and he'll be

870
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: facing James Bradbury, I believe, this week. So we'll see,

871
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: We'll see how that matchup goes. I'm just looking at

872
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: the schedule here. You got Philly at Atlanta, so he

873
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: should get healthy there, Washington, then a buy then at

874
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: Niners Tampa Bay. Two good matchups in a row, at Philly,

875
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: at chick then at home against Chicago. That's a tough one.

876
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: He's actually got a really tough stretch in the at

877
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: the end of the season where he's got at Philly,

878
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: then he's got the Bears and then at Red Ends

879
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: Titans and then at Colts in the Fantasy championship weeks.

880
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: So if Odell Beckham Jr. Maybe Turns it around mid season,

881
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: he could be a guy that you may be trying

882
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: to deal. Uh wants to get into the fantasy playoffs

883
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: for something real big, something real big. It's not scoring

884
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: like he's called I think two games he had so

885
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: far eleven catches and nine catches. Like he's getting the ball,

886
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: he's getting targeted. Yeah, but I mean he's not producing

887
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: a whole a whole lot in terms of making plays downfield.

888
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: And you know what do we think when we think

889
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: of Odell Beckham Jr. These ridiculous circus catches. Eli is

890
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: throwing the football deep and he's coming in and having

891
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: uh putting up a huge numbers, And that just hasn't

892
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: been the case overall. He's still seeing a lot of targets.

893
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: His yardage is still there, but it's it's not equating

894
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: into touchdown. So not that's not a fantasy question, that's

895
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: just an actual football question. Right. If this team continues

896
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: to be bad and we get you know, we get

897
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving or whatever and they're kind of out of it,

898
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: we get to December and they're they're out of the

899
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: playoff race, do we see Kyle Loletta? Oh man, they

900
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: should be. They should I'm totally on that train. And

901
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of stuff about Loletta, and like teams,

902
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: the scouting depart their analytics departments, they rated this guy

903
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: like he was the equivalent of their charts to like

904
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: a Tony Romo or Jimmy g Obviously you might not

905
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: amount to that, but that just hearing that alone is

906
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 1: pretty good. I would be all for him. The one

907
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: thing again that going back to the offensive line would

908
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: would scare me is that he would come in and

909
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: get killed as well. Uh, whereas I almost just rather

910
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: Eli just take the brunt of that hit. But I

911
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: definitely think the Giants will be in the market for

912
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: either drafting quarterback like would be a great move. As

913
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, are you disappointed that they didn't drop

914
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback and not remotely? So you have you have

915
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: you have because this year's draft, if you look at

916
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: the draft, it's heavy heavy D line, which the Giants

917
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: really don't need. They're not gonna take at Oliver Abosa,

918
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: whoever Rashan Gary. They're gonna take a quarterback and no

919
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: team is gonna end up worse than them, and record wise,

920
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: as my prediction will want, we'll need a quarterback because

921
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: mostly NFL has a relatively okay quarterback, so that they

922
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: could end up taking you know, Herbert fifth, six seventh overall,

923
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: and then you have the best running back who you

924
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: know has come out in quite some time, and I

925
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: think you know se Kwan showing that. So I rather

926
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: would have Sa Kuan plus the quarterback from this year, uh,

927
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: this upcoming draft, then maybe a Donald and then whoever

928
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: they could take in this one. So I'm totally fine

929
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: with then. I think you have a young quarterback with

930
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: s kwon O, b j Evan, Ingraham Shepherd, that's a

931
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: much much better offense. And obviously the offense line needs

932
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, three four other pieces, but that's just still

933
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: on the process. So this is my last point. We'll

934
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: move on. This is more Giants talk than I had

935
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: planned on, but I would say at some point, I

936
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: think you gotta play Lauletta just because Eli is thirty

937
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: seven going on thirty eight. He's got two years left

938
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: on his contract, arguably two years left in his NFL

939
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: career um and even if if you're not drafting a

940
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: quarterback next year, which I understand, I think you just

941
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: gotta see what you've got because you can't. You can't

942
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 1: have Eli just dragging that arm through another season again.

943
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Next year. The Saints don't have top end pass rushers,

944
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and they beat the Texans who have argubly

945
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: like two of the better ones, and I don't know

946
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: how that even happened. But like I said, like if

947
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: you're if Eli is getting time, you gotta make those

948
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: shows down to field. If he's not doing it, then

949
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: maybe the problem actually is him. Yeah, yeah, we'll see

950
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: uh Dolphins at Bengals. Um what I was gonna drop

951
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: an next butt of here? What are they doing with

952
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake? What is Adam? What are you doing? Adam Gates?

953
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know? We we have a

954
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: lifeline to Adam Gates, right, I mean Cynthia Freeland, Uh

955
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: is it has a connection to Adam. We should just

956
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: get her on the phone and the like, I have

957
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: her ask at like, what are you doing? What are

958
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: you doing with Kenyan Drake? It doesn't make any sense.

959
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: Somehow I feel like he's not gonna listen to it.

960
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: Probably not. I don't even listened to Cynthia. But I

961
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: don't even have king. I didn't draft Kenyan Drake anywhere,

962
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: but because I just, I mean, I was kind of worried.

963
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: I was worried that frank Were was sort of to

964
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: his touches. I didn't just think that Adam Gates was

965
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: just gonna not give him the football. Yeah, and in

966
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: terms of the snaps, I mean it's six thirty nine percent,

967
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: But then you look at the touches. Franc Or has

968
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: five fewer touches than Kenyan Drake five. This guy is

969
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: two fifty eight years old and running back years and

970
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: he's got five fewer touches than a guy who went

971
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: nuts in the second half of last season was averaging

972
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: right around one touches a game. He was a league

973
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: winner from a fantasy standpoint, and this is what I feared.

974
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: I have one shaff Kenyan Drake gets in the best

975
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: ball league, and because I like the explosive component to

976
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: his game where he can maybe put up a huge number,

977
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 1: but they are not giving him the football. You've got

978
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati this weekend. I say he's no more than a

979
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: low end RB two, maybe a high end flex starter,

980
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 1: and that's it. That is it. He has been a

981
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: massive disappointment. But again I didn't like him coming into

982
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: this season. Drake has never been a featured back like

983
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: he was a feature back almost because he had to

984
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: be in the second half of last season because the

985
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins were no longer with the j h I he

986
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: he was. He was traded and Damian Williams has heard

987
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: as well. So they didn't have anybody and didn't have anybody,

988
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: and they gave him the ball and they fed on

989
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: the ball. Was the first time really, he's been a

990
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: feature back, you know, in college at Alabama. Of course

991
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry was there as well, but Kenyan Drake just

992
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't fit the profile. And I guess Adam Gates

993
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: agrees with that because he is not getting enough touches

994
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: to make him fantasy relevant or or even a guy

995
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: that that you can potentially start with any kind of confidence.

996
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: Right now. He he clearly is UH a risk reward

997
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: RB two flex starter. He is not what we thought.

998
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that he could have been

999
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: coming off of what he did last season. I mean,

1000
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: I said, look at but his first his first couple

1001
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: of weeks, we weren't bad. I mean for what they wanted.

1002
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: Part of it is that the Dolphins just don't run

1003
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: any plays on offense, and they got crushed last week.

1004
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: I think they are running the fewest plays per game

1005
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: on offense. I am starting to be of the opinion

1006
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: although also that in today's NFL, I know we talk

1007
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot about game script, and in some ways it

1008
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: does have an impact, but I think with the way

1009
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: the NFL is today and the way offenses operate, game

1010
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: script is less of an issue because if you can't

1011
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: even if you can't run the ball, you can still

1012
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball to your running backs because so many

1013
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: running backs are so much involved in the passing game,

1014
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: and it's hard. You have to be a really special

1015
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: runner to get on the field if you can't catch

1016
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: the ball, like, you've gotta be Jordan Howard and even

1017
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: he's catching it more. You've gotta be Adrian Peterson in

1018
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: his prime. Uh, you've gotta be. I can't even think

1019
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: of anybody else who just is just strictly a runner

1020
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: that is any any kinds of effective. So I just

1021
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think like it's just it's just coaches

1022
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: poor scheming. Like pro tip, just because the guy's in

1023
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: the NFL head coach doesn't mean he's smarter than you

1024
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: at football, right, I mean, let's just be honest about that,

1025
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: because we all seem to think that just because somebody

1026
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: gets a coaching job in the NFL that you know,

1027
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: be obviously they spend more time studying it probably than

1028
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: the average person, doesn't mean they're smarter other than you.

1029
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: And sometimes they make bad decisions and you just have

1030
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: to wonder what on earth Adam Gays and the Dolphins

1031
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: are doing because Kenyan Drake's just not getting the football. Uh,

1032
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: I see you were here A J. Green versus Avian Howard,

1033
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: which is kind of an interesting matchup this week. Yeah,

1034
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: it is no question about that. I mean, Howard has

1035
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: sort of gotten himself in into the the the news

1036
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy football because he's played well. I'm

1037
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: not telling you that Aja Green is not a start

1038
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 1: this week. Maybe there's more targets funnel the Tyler board,

1039
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: although I can't see how there would be. I mean,

1040
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: this guy is getting targeted a ton. He is playing,

1041
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: uh some great football right now. But the Bengals offense

1042
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: is suddenly very fantasy friendly, whereas last year not so much.

1043
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton now is a startable asset and fantasy obviously,

1044
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: a J. Green, Tyler Boyd is now a startable asset

1045
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: in fantasy. Joe Mixon or Gio Bernard, whoever the running

1046
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: back is, is clearly a startable asset in fantasy. And

1047
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: one player who is a really deep sleeper. Okay, he's

1048
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: a really deep sleeper. And I can't pronounce his last name.

1049
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: I tried to do it on the show today and

1050
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: I butchered it. You tell me this is how it's pronounced.

1051
00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: C j U sama Usama, Tyler Eiffert out for the season.

1052
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: We y c j Usma and if you're hurting it

1053
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: tight end, and so many of us are, he's worth

1054
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: a look. And this is what we've come to. I mean,

1055
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: in my column, I have Jeff Swayman Man. I mean, yeah,

1056
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: so that. But the Bengals offense, and we thought it

1057
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: was gonna be better because it couldn't be worse than

1058
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: it was last year. With the additions of the offensive line,

1059
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: with Joe Mixon being the feature back, with the emergence

1060
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, this offense has become really, really good. I

1061
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: would not play the Miami Dolphins defense this week. First

1062
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: two weeks they had thirteen points in both weeks, looked

1063
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: really good. I would not touch them with a ten

1064
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: foot poll. If I'm talking about Dolphins in this game,

1065
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: I like Kenny Stills and I wouldn't play Ryan Tannehill.

1066
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: You're obviously gonna be playing Kenyan Draker. Maybe it's not obvious,

1067
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: maybe you have some backfield depth, but if you look

1068
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: at the numbers right now with Kenny Stills, I mean,

1069
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals have given up the fifth most yards and

1070
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: five touchdowns to wide receivers who line out wide, which

1071
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: is where Stills sees round six percent of his of

1072
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: his route. So he's a I don't know if he's

1073
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: under the radar, but I do think he's a decent

1074
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: play as a flex starter this week. Yeah, we'll see

1075
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: it was gonna I I don't know if you can

1076
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: sit Kenyan Drake, sit King and Drake. If you've got

1077
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: help somewhere else, I would. I just don't want that

1078
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: headache anymore. I'm done with it. Have you ever looked

1079

1099
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: we are going through week five here on the podcast.

1100
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: We have moved on to Raiders and Chargers, maybe the

1101
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: most telling thing about this game. And I saw a

1102
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: tweet about this. First off. I can't wait for years

1103
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: from now when a book is written or the the

1104
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: oral history of the l A Chargers move is written

1105
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: is discussed. I saw a tweet that says the Chargers

1106
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: are pumping in crowd noise to get ready for what's

1107
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: going to happen when the Raiders a home game. Dude,

1108
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: this is a home It's gonna be so many Raiders

1109
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: fans there. It's crazy. They're pumping in crowd noise in

1110
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: practice to simulate what's going to happen on their own

1111
00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: home soccer field. This is like when people were saying, oh,

1112
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, you know, playing in Denver. This is not

1113
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: his first road game, dude. One of his road games

1114
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: was in l A playing the Chargers with half the

1115
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: stadium fill. The Chiefs fans, the Chargers have a home

1116
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: field disadvantage and it will come to fruition this week

1117
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: when the Silver and Black come to town. Because I

1118
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: would still argue, although maybe the Rams are catching up,

1119
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: most of the people in Los Angeles who are football

1120
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: fans root for the Raiders. I mean the Rails. Look

1121
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: for for anybody who's listening to this podcast who doesn't

1122
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: live in Los Angeles. What happened is and I I

1123
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: first moved to l A the last year of the

1124
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: Raiders and Rams. I was a freshman in college. Then

1125
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: when they left, and you know, people, the Rams had

1126
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: a following, you know, the Raiders had a following obviously,

1127
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: but what you had was a whole generation of fans

1128
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: who grew up here without a football team. And it

1129
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: was twenty years that the NFL was gone. You have

1130
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: a whole generation of kids who were born and grew

1131
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: up here without having a local football team. What happened

1132
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: is a lot of them became Raider fans. A lot

1133
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: of them became forty Niner fans. Um. I mean San

1134
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: Diego is it's closer than the Bay Area, but it's

1135
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: also a completely different region. I mean it is is

1136
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: completely apart from l A. So now there are still

1137
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: Rams fans, There are a lot of Raiders fans. There

1138
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: are forty Niner fans. And when the Charges announced that

1139
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: they were moving to Los Angeles, the general attitude was like,

1140
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: uh okay, that was kind of pretty much how l

1141
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: A reacts. So like they haven't really gained that following,

1142
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: even though they've been a competitive team the last couple

1143
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: of years. But anyway, that's neither here nor there right now?

1144
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: What is here or there is? Can you trust the

1145
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: Raiders passing game this week? Man? It's tough to trust

1146
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: it even against the Chargers, you know, Like the Raiders

1147
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: are sort of a team that's hard to predict one

1148
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: week to the next. I will tell you this. I

1149
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: got these stats from Pro Football Focus my pal Jeff

1150
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: Radcliffe over there. Uh Amari Cooper two games last year

1151
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: against the l A Chargers was shadowed by Casey Hayward

1152
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: more than seventy five percent of the time, and when

1153
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: he was shadowed by Hayward, he had two catches for

1154
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 1: eighteen yards on just five targets combined. So as good

1155
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: as a Marie Cooper was last week, you have to

1156
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: sort of factor in that, you know, Heyward really knows

1157
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: how to shut this guy down, Derrick Henry Derek Carr

1158
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: last last week. Nice stat line, good stat line. But

1159
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: you know, some of these games, Marcus like they just

1160
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: go off the rails, and that was one of the

1161
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: games that just went off the rails. I mean, the

1162
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: points were ridiculous. I mean, the Brown's defense is supposed

1163
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: to be better, uh than it showed. But it was

1164
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: one of those games where and it was like Minnesota

1165
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles too, just it didn't matter who was

1166
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: playing defense because no one's playing defense. The offenses were

1167
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 1: just dominating every single aspect of those games. And so

1168
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting the same kind of thing to happen.

1169
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: I think this could be a high scoring game. I

1170
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: really like Marshawn Lynch in this game. I mean Jared Cook,

1171
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, like I like Jordy Nelson this week. Yeah,

1172
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: I think this is not I think I think Jordy

1173
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 1: Nelson could actually outscore uh Marie Cooper in PPR points.

1174
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: But I mean Jared freaking Cooper to Jode cook Man,

1175
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: I got darn it. I don't know how to pre

1176
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: this guy. I really don't. Jered cook is the fantasy

1177
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: He's not the fantasy hero we tighten hero we want.

1178
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: He's the fantasy test hero we need. I mean I

1179
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: have had years of crapping on him, telling people, dude,

1180
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: he is not going to be that good. He's always disappointing.

1181
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: And I went into this season saying the same thing

1182
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: because it's happened, of course, every single year, and this

1183
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: year so far the number one tight end and fantasy football, well,

1184
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: like it is ridiculous. I mean, I'm at a point

1185
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: where I think you start him every week. He's had

1186
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: a minimum of four catches every single week. Um, and

1187
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: it might not always be great, Like obviously you're not

1188
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: going to get you know, the huge blow up numbers

1189
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: from him every single week. But if you look at

1190
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: like week two weeks scoring right to be a top

1191
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: ten fantasy tight end, yeah, it doesn't take that much.

1192
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: Don't take that much. Like last week it was Cameron Brake.

1193
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: He had eight point nine points. Right, So if you're

1194
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: freaking PPR right, a four catch, forty nine yard game,

1195
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: that's eight point nine points insane. It's not great, but

1196
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: it's good enough to be a top ten tied in.

1197
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: And so if if Jerry Cook is still getting you

1198
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: four to five catches every week, I mean, if that

1199
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: baseline is right around eight Fantasy points in PPR, start him,

1200
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: Just start him. So are you sitting any Chargers? Um,

1201
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 1: let's see here. Calebster just kind of burned me last week.

1202
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: I'm joking, Yeah, I actually still would play him. I

1203
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: think he could be a top ten kicker, but he

1204
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 1: did burn me a little Charger kickers man. Yeah, I know, dude,

1205
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: they're like cursed um Chargers defense. I'm certainly not playing it.

1206
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not playing Antonio Gates either. I know it's

1207
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: Raiders and you know matchup, but he's just not on

1208
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: the field enough. He's not running enough routes for me

1209
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: to trust him to start him even you know when

1210
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: the matchup is favorable. Uh, Virgil Green's on the on

1211
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: the field more than Antonio Gates. Right now, you're looking

1212
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: at the numbers, I mean, Gates is seeing thirty four

1213
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,479
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. He's averaging sixteen routes a game.

1214
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: It's just not enough for me to start him. This

1215
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: is not the old Antonio Gates. It's just old Antonio Gates.

1216
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: So exactly. Uh, Cardinals at forty Niners, I'm telling you,

1217
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: David Johnson is back. He's back. I said it last week.

1218
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 1: I thought last week, I just thought Josh Rosen adds

1219
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: something to this offense because he's he literally has some

1220
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: of that Jake Cutler like screw it, I'm going deep

1221
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: attitude because look that's what he didn't use c l A.

1222
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: And he's like, you know, I don't necessarily have consistent playmakers,

1223
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try to get chunk plays down the field,

1224
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna make some of these throws

1225
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: that maybe I shouldn't, but it will probably work out.

1226
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: David Johnson's best asset was being a downfield receiver. That

1227
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: is where he was most dangerous a couple of years ago. Uh,

1228
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: and we saw it last week. He had over a

1229
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: hundred scrimmine yards he got in the end zone. He

1230
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: started to look more like himself this week. He's got

1231
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, who defensively are not particularly great. I

1232
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: think we just see more of this. I think you know,

1233
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: if you waited it out and you struggled through those

1234
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: first three or four weeks with with David Johnson, and

1235
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: he can start to x and and look, it's he's

1236
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be what he was two years ago. Right,

1237
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get the twenty touchdowns and the ridiculous

1238
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: amount of yards. But I think he starts to bounce

1239
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: back a little bit. It's gonna be better, let's hope. So.

1240
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: And Uh, the transition over from Sam Bradford to Josh Rosen, Uh,

1241
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: it didn't go well for Rosen statistically. Um, but you know,

1242
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: David Johnson, he got more touches and that's what we need.

1243
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: We need more touches. We need the football and David

1244
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: Johnson's hands, and I think we'll see that. Um. And

1245
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: this this game shouldn't be a game script issue either

1246
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: to This should be a close game, a pretty competitive game. Now.

1247
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: The other main fantasy player in Arizona is Larry Fitzgerald,

1248
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: and he just can't be healthy. Larry Fitzgerald is too

1249
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: good to be doing what he's doing on the field

1250
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: right now. He's dealing with the hamstring, and until he

1251
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: starts to look healthy, it's hard to play him, even

1252
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: against the Niners. And career wise, he has crushed San Francisco.

1253
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: He's crushed him. I have a hard time starting him

1254
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: right now, I really do, especially with so many good

1255
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: young wide receivers who are starting to merge, you know,

1256
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: like a Tyler Boyd for example. I I can't play

1257
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald this week. Larry Fitzgerald in the season open

1258
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: had seventy six receiving yards. In the three games since

1259
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,959
Speaker 1: he has had sixty five. He's not right. He something,

1260
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: He's not healthy. He had two catches from nine yards.

1261
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: He's not healthy, man. So I can't play him until

1262
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: I start to see some signs of life. Man, I

1263
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: just can't do it. And uh um. San Francisco though

1264
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: that they've got They've got two players that that are

1265
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: very startable this week. You know George Kittle, who huge

1266
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: game last week, narrative, narrative street roommates in Iowa. So

1267
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: obviously it's all good, yeah, no doubt. And I mean

1268
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: you you look at the numbers too. You know, this

1269
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: guy is being targeted more than all but four tight

1270
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: ends in the entire league. And one of them is

1271
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron. Believe it or not, but Kittles will play

1272
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: for me as a low end tight end one. And

1273
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: then Matt Brita going up against the Cardinals who have

1274
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: been just dreadful against the run. Ask anyone who watched

1275
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: what Mike Davis did them, and it will be obvious

1276
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: that Brita is maybe not a must start, but he's

1277
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: a damn good start. Yeah. You know, those are two

1278
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: guys who, again I've been saying all week, their floor

1279
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: remained kind of kind of kind of static. I mean,

1280
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: nothing really changed for them when the quarterbacks changed, and

1281
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: I think mostly because they are too easy security blankets

1282
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: for a guy like c. J. Beppy. You can dump

1283
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: it off to your running back, you can get it

1284
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: out quick to your tight end, and so those guys

1285
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of remain the same. Now where the volatility happens

1286
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: is Marquis Goodwin. Suddenly all those downfield throws that Garoppolo

1287
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: was going to make go away a little bit, so

1288
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: he becomes a guy who is a lot harder to play.

1289
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: And Pierre Garson has sort of been a mystery. Uh yeah,

1290
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean you would think that his value would have

1291
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: increased with you know Goodwin being banged up and no,

1292
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's just nothing. Nothing has happened with Pierre Garson.

1293
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: He's just he's just kind of been out there, you know, weirdly. Uh.

1294
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean so you you made your desperation pick earlier

1295
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: when you talked about very desperate, So maybe the isn't

1296
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: quite desperate on that level. But in a PPR, Kylie

1297
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: use check is sort of interesting. Um, you know he

1298
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: eight catches a hundred and twenty two yards. I mean

1299
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: he's running wheel routes and and you know he has

1300
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: one receiving touchdown this year. Uh, if you are if

1301
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: you are really really hurting, if you're in a deep

1302
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: league and you need a flex or something like that, Uh,

1303
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Kyle used Check. I mean it was a guy that

1304
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: the Niners last year used a little bit in the

1305
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: passing game. We've seen him, especially in the red zone

1306
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: in his career, being a guy who gets some opportunities.

1307
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean we we saw that when he was with

1308
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens for a few years, they would use him

1309
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of down near the goal line to catch the ball.

1310
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: He had four receiving touchdowns. So, um, you know, again,

1311
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: if you are hurting in a PPR league, maybe maybe

1312
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: you try which one is more desperate. Uh, it's kind

1313
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: of it's kind of a kind of toss up. So

1314
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Vikings at Eagles, Is it possible that maybe the Vikings

1315
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: defense isn't good? Possible? It's it's actual reality. I mean,

1316
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: like like it's reality right now. And so I've tried

1317
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: to tell myself a story where of a lovely lady,

1318
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: uh you know who was was bringing up three very

1319
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: lovely girls. Um. So you know, obviously the week the

1320
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 1: Week one game against the forty Niners, they weren't bad.

1321
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: You know, like the Niners got some garbage time points

1322
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: at the end, um, but you know, they played all

1323
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: right there. Week two they played the Packers and like, yeah,

1324
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: it's okay, they weren't they weren't terrible, but you know,

1325
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: Rogers was less than a dent. It was kind of

1326
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: hobbling around on that knee. So I told myself a

1327
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: story that Week three happened against the Bills because they

1328
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: were looking ahead to Week four, right, Like, they weren't

1329
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: really focused on the Bills. They were worried about the

1330
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Rams the next week and they swear to got ambush.

1331
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, so I can, I can

1332
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: kind of wave that one away. Then the Rams happened

1333
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: and they got trucked right, And I'm but I'm trying

1334
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: to tell myself the story that maybe it's not that

1335
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings are bad, maybe the Rams are really just

1336
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,439
Speaker 1: that good. But man, it is hard to wipe away.

1337
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: They gave up four hundred and fifty six passing yards.

1338
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: They're given up twenty seven and a half points a game.

1339
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you know, I'm really trying to tell

1340
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: myself the story. But man, and you don't play that defense. Now.

1341
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: It's funny how those defensive values can change quickly in

1342
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: fantasy football, Like the Vikings were expected to be one

1343
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: of the better defenses in fantasy and so far, dude,

1344
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: I've seen them dropped in a lot of leagues. And

1345
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't play him this week against the Eagles too.

1346
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles offense is starting to come around.

1347
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, Carson Wentz got some starts under his belt. Now,

1348
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: they got Alshon, Jeffrey Back, Nelson Aghilars and the mixac

1349
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: urges in the mix. The running game is questionable because uh,

1350
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: well they've got some some injuries there with Corey Clement

1351
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: and Darrence Browls and j GI's he's been okay, he

1352
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been great. I think the Eagles offense is gonna

1353
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: very soon here maybe it's maybe it's uh, you know,

1354
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: this week is gonna start showing that this is this

1355
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: is one of the better offenses in the league. And

1356
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: even against the Vikings, I think Carson Wentz can have

1357
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good game. This could end up being maybe

1358
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: a higher scoring game than we sort of anti to

1359
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: pay it, although the Eagles have certainly been better at

1360
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: home defensively than they have been on the road. But

1361
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: this could end up being one of those you know,

1362
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: weird high scoring games, uh, between two teams that came

1363
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: into the season where we thought, you know, hey, their

1364
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: defenses are gonna be pretty good. Yeah, I mean yeah

1365
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles. The Eagles defense has has left something to

1366
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: be desired this week. So you sort of answered my question.

1367
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: My aspection was gonna be is it possible at the

1368
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Eagles offense isn't that good because they have kind of

1369
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: sputtered around the first few weeks. But yeah, I think

1370
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be better. They're getting you know,

1371
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean Nick Foles, you know, the first couple. I

1372
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: think Carson Wentz is going to get back into his groove.

1373
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's clearly got that nice rapport with with

1374
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: where it's and with al Sean, So uh, this offense

1375
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: will certainly turn things around. I think they're starting to

1376
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: turn things around. Rams at Seahawks. Now, I know, I

1377
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: know you you have said that, you know there's no

1378
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: such thing as they must start at quarterbacks or whatever. Um,

1379
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: but can we start to put Jared Goff into that

1380
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: box with the you know, the Mahomes, the Breeze, the Rodgers,

1381
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: like those guys where when you just look at it

1382
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: and you kind of face, you don't really worry about

1383
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the matchup so much. You just believe in in what

1384
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: that guy is doing. Is Jared Goff hit that level yet? Well,

1385
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm starting him against the Jaguars

1386
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Um, but he has become a guy where

1387
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: he's he's not matchup proof, but he's he's getting closed.

1388
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Are he's starting him against the Sea Oh yeah? Oh yeah?

1389
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Because the forget about what you know about the Seahawks,

1390
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: especially on their home field, how they've been so good

1391
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: for so many years. The legion of Boom is dead.

1392
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: It done, it is done, and this defense is completely different.

1393
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: And I get it. You know they've got the twelfth Man,

1394
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: They've got a home field advantage. It's very loud there

1395
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: in Seattle, but Jared Goff in that offense can make

1396
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: those to make those cheers go away very very quickly.

1397
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: The twelfth Man ain't titled nobody that this is true.

1398
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 1: And and with Russell Wilson and that offense playing like

1399
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: it is, and it's not good right now. Um, I

1400
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: do believe Jared Goff is a guy. You're playing. You're

1401
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: playing all your rams this week, and you're playing all

1402
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,439
Speaker 1: your rams until further in. You're playing Coup, you're playing Would,

1403
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: you're playing girly obviously, you're playing coachs obviously, and golf

1404
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: has become again not a must start, but a very

1405
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: good start. When you look at the numbers, I mean,

1406
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: if there was if there was ever a season, and

1407
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I get it, we're only through four weeks, if there

1408
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: was ever a season that proves that you don't need

1409
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: a draft a quarterback until late I mean, this is it, dude.

1410
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Right now, your top quarterback is Patrick Mahomes, who was

1411
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: tenth rounder. Later, Matt Ryan tenth round or later. Ryan

1412
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick not drafted, Jared Goff tenth rounder later, Breeze, I

1413
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: mean he still went off the board. Late Cousins eighth

1414
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: or ninth round, Philip Rivers tenth rounder later. Okay. Then

1415
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: one of the quote unquote elite quarterbacks coming into the season,

1416
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson falls there. And then you've got Ben Roethlisberger

1417
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: tenth round or later, Andy Dalton tenth round or later,

1418
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck tenth round or later, Late Portal's tenth round

1419
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,959
Speaker 1: or later. It's like, and you know who I didn't

1420
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: mention there as Yeah, so Tom Brady, I am Russell Wilson.

1421
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think really differently about quarterbacks in general.

1422
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: You should make notes on these that we can talk

1423
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: about all this stuff like later on. But I mean,

1424
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: one I'm not thinking either maybe next year I just

1425
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: don't draft a quarterback and I just wait and see

1426
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: who's on the waiver wire when it's all said and done.

1427
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Or because of the way the rules are in this league,

1428
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: right and if they're going to really throw flags on

1429
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: every time you get within you know, the area code

1430
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: of a quarterback, we got to maybe look as an

1431
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: industry at changing quarterback scoring, because if we had here

1432
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: and talked about the fact that scoring twenty one points

1433
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: makes you the QB twelve in a week, like, maybe

1434
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: we gotta figure out some way to kind of tighten

1435
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: things up. If guys, like, if we're gonna go on

1436
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: because we've had a guy score forty points every single

1437
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: and this is why standard is four points for passing.

1438
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 1: It's like I was really guys really tried to get

1439
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, the the advantage away from the

1440
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at least someone because I was starting, I was

1441
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 1: starting to lean toward maybe we should all go six four,

1442
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, maybe so maybe so my other thing

1443
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: that I was thinking about one night when I was

1444
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: kind of loopy and not sleeping much, maybe we go

1445
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: for three. See like maybe it's four three, Maybe it's

1446
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: it's it's four for a touchdown and three for interception.

1447
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: So that way throwing multiple picks kind of hurts a

1448
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: little bit more. And like, you know, if I mean literally,

1449
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: if guy's gonna go out and throw five six touchdowns

1450
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: every single week, um, and we just gotta do something

1451
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: because this is I mean, it's it's fun. On the

1452
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: one hand, but it's also kind of just skewed things

1453
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: way out of way. Yeah, I think we see what

1454
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 1: happens this year, um, and and then next season we

1455
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: see if it's an outlier, right, and then you make

1456
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: a decision on Wow, we're going real arena football here.

1457
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are just way too valuable, Which is odd to

1458
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: think quarterbacks are way too valuable because no one's drafting them,

1459
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: But they're valuable in that there are so many good

1460
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: ones and they can really help you. I mean, heck,

1461
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: last week I had Russell Wilson going in one of

1462
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: my leagues and he absolutely killed me. But if I

1463
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: started Blake Bortles or Andy Dalton or Jared Goff, I

1464
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: mean I'm in a much better situation. There are no

1465
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: mustar quarterbacks anywhere. I mean, it's just not. But I

1466
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: think I think that Elso is part of it. When

1467
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: there when there's no wrong answers at a position, that

1468
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: means something is we right. Like there has to be

1469
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: a penalty for you picking making a bad choice, and

1470
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: if if it's harder to make a bad choice, then

1471
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta change. And remember, like I believe

1472
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: there's what five or six quarterbacks right now and pay

1473
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: for over forty touchdown, which is stupid. So are you

1474
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: starting any Seahawks? I mean, can you start rustling? But

1475
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 1: so so no? I mean Doug Baldwin. You know the

1476
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Rams haven't been great against slot receivers this season, so

1477
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: I think Baldwin fits in as sort of a three um.

1478
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: That might be it. I don't know what's going on

1479
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,799
Speaker 1: with Chris Carson. I do know that if he is healthy,

1480
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has ruined any fantasy value of Carson might

1481
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: have this week because he said Mike Davis is going

1482
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: to get into the rotation. And why did the Seahawks

1483
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: draft were shot Penny in the first round? I mean

1484
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: why so many trade why? I mean had so many

1485
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: different needs and more pressing needs in your draft? Are

1486
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: running back in the first round who you don't even

1487
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: trust enough to give a featured workload. Two when the

1488
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: guy ahead of him on the debt chart isn't playing,

1489
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: and people were like, oh, picking up a penny, Chris

1490
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Carson's out, Maybe I could flex Penny and Mike freaking

1491
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: Davis comes in and rolls over the Cardinals. And even

1492
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: if Carson is active this week, I can't play him

1493
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: I can't play him. I'm playing Baldwin and lock it.

1494
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: Lock it went back to be and lock it. When

1495
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: Baldwin came back, I mean lock it was kind of

1496
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: fantasy players sometimes good more often than not average. When

1497
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: Baldwin was out, he was awesome. Baldwin comes back, lock

1498
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of average again. So there's not a whole

1499
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not playing Russell Wilson, not playing him.

1500
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: Look at his numbers against the Rams. I don't know

1501
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: what it is about him. They have his number even

1502
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: in Seattle, more so when they play on the road,

1503
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: when they play either in St. Louis or Los Angeles,

1504
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: um over the last few years, but they have his numbers.

1505
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: So Russell Wilson is a definite fade for me. Yeah,

1506
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I just man, I really believed in Russell Wilson. But

1507
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: it's just this was the highest scoring player in fantasy

1508
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 1: football last year. You're also we're also starting to realize that,

1509
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, obviously one man can't do everything forever like

1510
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: he didn't. He did it. He did it pretty well

1511
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: last year, all mostly by himself. But it's just there's

1512
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: like so long that that one guy, and I think

1513
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: things will get better for him, but it ain't happen

1514
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: in this week. Um Cowboys the Texans. So there's Zeke

1515
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: and then Jeff Swaim. Yeah, Jeff Swam. Did you know

1516
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: that he? Like he this is like I can't even

1517
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: get it out because it's like so ridiculous. Jeff Swam

1518
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: has run more routes than any other Cowboys receiver. Jeff

1519
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: freaking Swam. That's just that's just eyewash man, Like you're

1520
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: just running around, you just that's like, that's like that's

1521
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: like a parent who puts his his or her kid

1522
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: into soccer just because they want the kid to run

1523
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: around and get tired out. Like that's that's what. That's

1524
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: what Jeff Swain fields. And you know what too, Like

1525
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: he's actually if you're desperate, I mean maybe not Calvin

1526
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: Benjamin desperate, but if you're desperate. You know, the Texans,

1527
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, they've given up the ninth most fantasy points

1528
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: to tight ends this season, given up fifteen a game.

1529
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: They've given up three touchdowns to tight ends. You know, listen,

1530
01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: this is where we're at. This is where we're at.

1531
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: We're we're in the Jeff Swaam portion of your tight

1532
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: end program. Because it has become an absolute waste land

1533
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: at this position with everybody who's gotten hurt. I mean, yeah,

1534
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: it's so bad. Tight End Tighten makes me sad. Like

1535
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: one of the worst parts of my week now is

1536
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: ranking tight ends because I'm like, I just know, because

1537
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: you get the tenant, it's like dance, like basically I go,

1538
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, in some order. It's like, you know, Kelsey

1539
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: Earths and gronk Um Jordan Reed was back this week,

1540
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: so I put But then like I just want to

1541
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: I just want to put like thirteen guys at eleven.

1542
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: I guess all I wanted, like you just like you're

1543
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: you're just outside the top ten and you're all kind

1544
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: of going to be about the same, you know, rank

1545
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: them all. Let the fantasy guys sort them out. Um,

1546
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: what what even is Lamar? I I know I'm kind

1547
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: of big on Lamar Miller this week, but I'm just

1548
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: starting like he's he's like Schrodinger's running back, Like he's

1549
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: either good or not good and we can't really tell

1550
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: which I know. And you know, the touch here was

1551
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 1: like almost split down the middle last week with Offord Blue,

1552
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 1: so makes it even more of an issue. So if

1553
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: the touches aren't gonna be guaranteed. Now, the Cowboys defense

1554
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: is not the same without Sean Shawn Lee. There's just right,

1555
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But I mean to me

1556
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: right now, I mean, Lamar Miller is a flex starter

1557
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: and that's it, and that that that is it and

1558
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: hopefully you get some production out of him. But he's

1559
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 1: risk reward at best. He is fourteenth in rushing yards,

1560
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: which is a terrible He's averaging about about four yards

1561
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: to carry. Um. He So in some ways he kind

1562
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: of is what I you know, to to paraphrase in

1563
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: his screen, he is what I thought he was, UM,

1564
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,799
Speaker 1: a decent sort of you know, maybe RB two flex

1565
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: sort of guy. And I know a lot of people

1566
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: are frustrated with him because I get a lot of

1567
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: tweets asking if they should trade him, if they should

1568
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: drop in, what they should do, And I keep telling

1569
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: people he kind of is what he is. The only

1570
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: difference is he's not scoring a lot of touchdowns like

1571
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: I would like that to happen. Maybe, but you know,

1572
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: he he's just he's frustrated. But I do think this

1573
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: is a week you can kind of count on him

1574
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. I just think you know you mentioned

1575
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 1: no Sean Lee there. Um, I think they can get

1576
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,600
Speaker 1: him out and use him in the passing game a

1577
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 1: little bit more, which they haven't really. Um they did

1578
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago against the Giants. Uh, if they

1579
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: could use him in that capacity, I think he has

1580
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: some value this week. Yeah, he actually has in PPR

1581
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: leagues more Fantasy points as a receiver than a runner.

1582
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I believe that. But um, it's it's basically because of

1583
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: that one game where you had to touchdown catch. He's

1584
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: had eight catches this season, so but now his only

1585
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a rushing touchdown here, he's receiving. I

1586
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 1: mean right, he's he's a risk reward player and last

1587
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: week the matchup set up well for him and they

1588
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: went with Offord Blue in a committee. You're not my boy,

1589
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Blue Redskins at Saints Adrian Peterson. I actually think, you know,

1590
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: and I know I had my minor game script rant

1591
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: a little earlier in this show, but I do think

1592
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: this is one where game scrip kind of comes into

1593
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: play and potentially works against him. Um, only that he's

1594
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: actually caught more passes this year than I'm used to

1595
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: seeing from him. But I don't think that that's going

1596
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: to be a big part of what Washington does. I

1597
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: just have a feeling that, you know, New Orleans gonna

1598
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: go out here, They're gonna do what they do, They're

1599
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna score points, are gonna move to football. I mean

1600
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: they are fully operational now with mark Ingram back. Um.

1601
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: So you it just this just feels like a game

1602
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: that turns into a high scoring affair, which means I

1603
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 1: feel like this is more of a Chris Thompson game

1604
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: than a in Adrian Peterson game. Yeah, me too. You

1605
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: would think it's gonna be high scoring game. The Saints

1606
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: are giving up like thirty a game so far, and

1607
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: there's just something about these Dome games, right, every Dome game,

1608
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: like has there ever been a defensive battle in the Dome? Like,

1609
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: I feel like it's always like thirty five, thirty doesn't matter,

1610
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: So you think there's gonna be a lot of points.

1611
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: Peterson will be motivated to play against his old team

1612
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: where he wasn't really a Saint for that long, but

1613
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: I guess the divorce was not all that pleasant, so

1614
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be looking to put a little bit of

1615
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: a beat down on his old squad and of course,

1616
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 1: the big story here from a fantasy perspective is that

1617
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: mark Ingram's back, and mark Ingram, who was one of

1618
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,919
Speaker 1: the best running backs and fantasy football last season, suspended

1619
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: four games. Coming back this week, I say you play him.

1620
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean you drafted him to play him, even if

1621
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: he's a flex starter. And that's why I was targeting

1622
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: him in some of my drafts because he was falling

1623
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: to the fifth or sixth round, which should have been

1624
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,799
Speaker 1: because of course he's gonna missquarter the season for fantasy folks,

1625
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: But now is the time that you that you sort

1626
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: of get him out there. What I'm really interested to

1627
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: see is not that he's gonna have a huge negative

1628
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 1: effect on Avin Kamara, but let's see the goal line usage.

1629
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Let's see where Camara was getting a lot of these

1630
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: or all of these touches before you know is ing

1631
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to eat into that a little bit. So uh,

1632
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: and how is this going to change the offense? Remember

1633
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: last year, Okay, Drew Brees was not that good of

1634
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: a fantasy quarterback when mark Ingram and Alvin Camara were

1635
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 1: in that backfield. He just wasn't because they were running

1636
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: the football more often and the defense was playing well,

1637
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: and I think that might be the big The big

1638
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:48,560
Speaker 1: difference here is that maybe Breeze is value and his

1639
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: production doesn't slide as much because the Saints defense is

1640
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: not good. This season is not good. So I have

1641
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: been a little more judicious about where I'm starting mark Ingram.

1642
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm not just blindly put him in the lineups everywhere.

1643
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: Because the Washington run defense has been pretty good so

1644
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 1: far this year. I think, you know, hopefully there are

1645
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: goal line opportunities which can help him this week, but

1646
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 1: I just, you know, between that and the fact that

1647
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: I believe the Saints have a bye next week, this

1648
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: feels like a situation where they kind of slowly bring

1649
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: him along, get him a little bit into game shape,

1650
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: take the by next week to sort of get him

1651
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: really up to speed, and then he's like all systems.

1652
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: Although after the by looking at the schedule, after the

1653
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 1: by the next three games at the Ravens, at the Vikings,

1654
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: although maybe that's not as right, Maybe that's as bad

1655
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: as we thought it would be, and then home against

1683
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: It is signed for Eddie Murphy's Delirious pick. Just to

1684
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: go back from last week, I was two points off

1685
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 1: from Mayfield having more points than Aaron Rodgers, Right, so

1686
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't like out of all weeks for

1687
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to to play poorly and then Baker mayvilld

1688
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: just versus the Raiders even still played just uh not

1689
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: well he was he was decent. Yeah. Yeah, So my

1690
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: delirious picked for this week, uh based off of a

1691
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,839
Speaker 1: performance we saw Thursday night. Last Thursday night was Cooper

1692
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: cup is now my pick to be the number one

1693
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: fantasy receiver when things are all said and done this season.

1694
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: So not really a week pick, but I'm saying this week, yes,

1695
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: because of his performance on Thursday. I just think watching

1696
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: the Rams, and I've watched every single one of the

1697
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: Rams games, he just seems like Jared Goff's guy no

1698
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,799
Speaker 1: matter what, and their lack of us a real game

1699
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: changer at tight end. He's the red zone target to.

1700
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: They do also run a lot of gadget plays with him,

1701
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: so he's like he has the ball in his hands

1702
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: in the back to like running the ball. Uh, you know,

1703
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: playing Seattle twice, playing San Francisco twice, Arizona, they have

1704
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Kansas City, some easy matchups for him in

1705
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: the upcoming week. So he's only sixteen points on Michael

1706
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: Thomas right now, who is the lead um according to

1707
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: my league stats and PPR. So I think, um, he'll

1708
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: come back down to earth. I think you can catch

1709
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: him and he will be the number on overall receiver

1710
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: because this Ram's offense is super high powered. Wow, I

1711
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: kind of like that. I mean looking at it right now,

1712
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: right like they're the target share. Robert Woods has thirty four,

1713
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks has thirty three, Cooper Cup has thirty two.

1714
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: So I mean they're all they're all right there. Um,

1715
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean the catches are again, they're all similar. Cooks

1716
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: has twenty six, Woods and Cup each have twenty four. This,

1717
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 1: uh man, this, I like this I'm gonna track this.

1718
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: This is spicy. Okay, I totally gotta track this for sure.

1719
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I totally like this. Um all right, for get out

1720
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 1: of your mail bag. We got some on tweets this.

1721
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: We have plenty of feeds. Thanks so those who U

1722
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 1: who tweeted us. And we've had a bonus one at

1723
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 1: the end that we could do a little cross promotion

1724
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,680
Speaker 1: because Dave Damashek made a trade in his league with

1725
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: cousin sal and he wants feedback on that one. Something

1726
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: that last. But we have at tond eight four one

1727
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: point PPR Emmanuel Sanders, Aaron Jones or Wilf will Fuller PPR.

1728
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: Because it's PPR, I might go Sanders. Yeah, I think

1729
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: I go Sanders, just because it's If it was standard,

1730
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: I'd probably go somewhere else, but PPR, I go Sanders. Okay,

1731
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 1: at the Mike Angelo mark Ingram back from suspension or

1732
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: Gala Day at the Flex and PPR, I think I

1733
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: would go Gala Day. Myself. I always go with the

1734
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: running back, but this time I'll go Gallant. There you go.

1735
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 1: We have at Cacchi thirty four. I've been offered Edelman

1736
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:57,600
Speaker 1: and Amari Cooper for Mike Evans and Tevin Coleman. Do

1737
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I accept that was quick? I want to try and

1738
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: get the best player in the deal, and you're not

1739
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: getting at g GBF seven Calvin Ridley, Julian Edelman or

1740
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Calvin Ridley, Julian Edelman or Keenan Allen. I

1741
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: think it might go Keenan. I gotta go Kenaw Yeah, okay,

1742
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: and the bonus one. So Scheck and the league with cousin,

1743
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Sal made a trade check, gave away four net and

1744
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: yelled in for Patrick Mahomes and DJ Moore who was

1745
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 1: the winner of that trade? Wait say that again? So

1746
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 1: he gave away Shack, gave away Leonard Fournette and t

1747
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: J Yelden and Cousins. He basically traded the Jackuarsfield corrects

1748
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 1: from Mahomes and d J Moore. I see, I mean

1749
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Sal kind of wins that one, though. I mean, because

1750
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing about trading quarterbacks, Like, yess, I get it,

1751
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been lights out, but you can find

1752
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback on the waiver wire somewhere else. Meanwhile, like

1753
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, when four net, if he comes back at

1754
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: some point, he's coming back at some point. I mean,

1755
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: when you've got two running backs who can both be

1756
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: a productive and I'm assuming this is a redraft league,

1757
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: so d J. Moore really has no value whatsoever right now.

1758
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: So he basically traded Pat Mahomes for the Jaguars backfield

1759
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: straight up. I mean that's basically what it is. Because

1760
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: DJ Moore has done nothing, isn't startable at this point.

1761
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, see, like when people make trades. So you know,

1762
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: we had this uh last week, it was like, you know,

1763
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,759
Speaker 1: would you trade Mahomes to get sa KWin Barkley. Hell yeah,

1764
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: I would do that because quarterback is so much deeper,

1765
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: as Marcus said, and I could just stream quarterbacks because

1766
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: right now the quarterback position is going bananas when it

1767
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 1: comes to points. So to lose and I get for

1768
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: it's hurt right now, but to lose him and at

1769
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: some point he'll come back yelled in is a fine

1770
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: uh handcuff. It's just hard for me to do that

1771
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:52,719
Speaker 1: because supply and demand. There's so much of a supply

1772
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, and there's so much of a demand for

1773
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: running backs and there's not a whole heck of a

1774
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of good ones. Uh as good as Leonard four NET,

1775
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,799
Speaker 1: that's for sure. So yeah, I just I just don't.

1776
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: I don't like giving up who could be an elite

1777
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: running back who has been an elite running back for

1778
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. I just I'd rather not do that.

1779
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll get to that level this year?

1780
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: For just out of curiosity? Dude? I mean, if he's healthy,

1781
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: that's that's the big if. That's the big if, that's

1782
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: the big if. So if it was for NET, for

1783
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: for Mahomes straight up, I mean I thought he was

1784
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 1: going to be a top you know, I finally gonna

1785
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: be like a top three fantasy back this year. But

1786
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: that was provided he stayed healthy. Yeah, And that's the thing.

1787
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: And and I also it's hard to like gauge how

1788
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: good or bad at trade is when one of the

1789
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: key components in the trade is hurt. I don't know

1790
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: when he's coming back. We have no idea when he's

1791
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: coming back. Is he going to get you know, eight

1792
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: games out of for NET? Is he gonna get ten

1793
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: games out of four NET? I mean, Yelden is good,

1794
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: but he's not for NET. He's a nice handcuff, but

1795
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: he's not for NET. So that those are always really

1796
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: hard to gauge before you get out of here quick though.

1797
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: The NFL app By the way, it is back this season.

1798
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,000
