7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: lot of leagues the actual playoffs have begun in some leagues.

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: This is a week to sort of play your way

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: into the postseason. So one way or another, your mind

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: is probably in fantasy playoff mode. So myself Michael Florio

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: will come and join us and we'll talk about some

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: playoff related things, including last night's game at Sofi Stadium.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: We will have our best value picks for the daily

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: fantasy crowd. We'll also have some big questions of the week,

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: as we always do, and then we'll finis shop with

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: our Aska Nerds segment as we do on Friday's every week.

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: So we got planning to talk about on today's show.

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: But before we do any of that, talk to our

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: faithful producer Seen you're Edward L. Murphy Esquire and Murphy

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: are you in the playoffs in any of your leagues.

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning towards the playoffs. Spot. If I win with

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the matchup first our mutual friend Ricky Hollywood here, and

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm projected to win by about twenty points. I'm feeling

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: really good about my team in general. Um, But now

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: what happens is on on Friday, it starts creeping in.

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Is this the right roster move? Should this guy be

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: avention favor of this guy? You're playing the matchups or

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're worried about injury news, so all

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: that craziness starts to mess with your mind. But if

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: things go according to plan, um, I should win, I

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: should beat her. I could talk some trash and then

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I get into the fantasy playoffs and hopefully do some

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: damage there. Yeah, it's it's it's sort of like, you know,

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: when you look at your lineup, I feel like it's

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: like the cheesecake factory made you right, Like you find

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: the thing you want amongst all the items, and then

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: you just close them in you and you just like,

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: let's sit there and don't go back to it because

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: you're just gonna you know, paralysis by analysis or whatever. Um. Yeah,

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: and it's a look, we know Ricky is a friend,

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: we love her, but you know, you gotta win because otherwise,

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure she's going to make some sort of video

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: and put it out on Twitter or Instagram or something

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: like that if she beats you without a dubt. Especially,

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I have a guy in the bench with thirty five

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: points and like some of my started just like combined

47
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: for like eleven, it's gonna it's total mess. I mean

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: almost credit to me for having a good bench. But

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: like for once, I hope that I imagines correctly and

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I beat here because that would be great. Absolutely, So

51
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: best of luck, uh in your playing, well, we'll catch

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: up on that. Uh, you know, joined by Michael F.

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Florio as we are every Friday and Florio, you had

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: your own sort of fantasy playoff the limma that you

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: put out on Twitter. You were sort of wavering between

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: cam Akers and DeAndre Swift, and I think Twitter mostly

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: steered you toward cam Akers, and it turns out that

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: that ended up looking like a pretty good decision. Yeah,

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Twitter. Marcus, I X you, I I

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: X Rank, I X everyone that we worked with, basically

61
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: in one who was willing to give me their opinion.

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I was like, what do you think I should do tonight?

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Because for weeks I had just been I kind of

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: circled that matchup for DeAndre sweeped against the Packers, like,

65
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: as long as he's back for Week fourteen in the

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoffs, I'm good to go. It's a great matchup.

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: He could win me the week alone. But then I'm

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: sitting here like, oh, going back and forth. What if

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: he sits, We don't know what his workload is gonna be.

70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Like cam Akers had been playing better, so I went

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: with him, and after the first quarter I was feeling great,

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Like I was like, all right, he's already given me

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: more than he was projected for. I could enjoy it.

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: And then he just exploded in the second half. And

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here today. I never want to be too

76
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: optimistic in the fantasy playoffs because one big game can

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: just ruin everything. But I'm feeling really good today after

78
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: last night. It is a very good start, no doubt.

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about cam Akers quite a bit

80
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: on today's show. But yeah, that was pretty much everything

81
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: you could have hoped for. And then something I mean,

82
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I guess because you're being gleed. You could have asked

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, but otherwise it was a pretty good

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: day for for cam Akers as out. All right, let's

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: start our attention to some fantasy headlines, including a big

86
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: one out of Atlanta, where Julio Jones has been ruled

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: out for this week's game against the Chargers. So we

88
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: know that in terms of the wide receivers, you know,

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is going to be there. He probably sees

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: more targets. Russell Gage is probably going to see more work.

91
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: Olamides Akius is on injured reserve, So I mean, I

92
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: think it is sort of what it is as the

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: past catchers go for Atlanta. My question to you, though,

94
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: is without Julio Jones, how do you feel about Matt Ryan?

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: Not great? Like I when I expected Julio to play,

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: I did have Matt Ryan in my top fifteen quarterbacks

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: because Denver has been giving up points as of late,

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: and I was surprised to see this week when I

99
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: looked at Matt Ryan is outside the top fifteen quarterbacks

100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: and fantasy points per game this year. I had he

101
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: had a hot starter earlier in the year. I had

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: thought he would have been higher than that, but he's

103
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: been so up and down. But then I look at

104
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: his numbers with and without Julio, and with Julio of Jones,

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: this year he's averaging nearly twenty three points per game

106
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game, and without Julio it's less than thirteen.

107
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: So that's a ten point swing right there. And I

108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: know it's a smaller sample sizing games without Julio Jones,

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: but it stands to reason, at least in my opinion,

110
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: that you take away your top weapon and a player

111
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: in Julio Jones is like capability, your your quarterbacks numbers

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: are going to go down. So I wasn't crazy over

113
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, but I still did have in my top fifteen.

114
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: But now I'm gonna be lowering him and probably trying

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: to go in another direction if I was planning on

116
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: starting him. So you have the numbers obviously that bear

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: that out. I would just say, even with the eye test,

118
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: just watching the Falcons when Julio is not there, that

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: offense just struggles to move the football. Um, you know,

120
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: the running game has really not produced much of anything.

121
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Todd Durley, you know, his his fantasy value has sort

122
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: of stayed a float because he seems to find the

123
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: end zone. But in terms of actual effectiveness it has

124
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: been fairly limited. Uh. Matt Ryan just seems to struggle

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: to get the ball out out uh in consistently complete

126
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: passes when there's no Julio Jones. So I'm sort of

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: with you. I thought that could be a high scoring

128
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: game this week. But but maybe I start to back

129
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: off the falcon side of things a little bit. Uh

130
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: if Julio is not because we know Julio is not

131
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: going to be there. There's even talk that maybe they

132
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: shut him down for the rest of the season. We'll

133
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll see about that. We'll we'll deal with that if

134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: that ends up being reality. But we know for sure

135
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: that he is not going to play in week fourteen.

136
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Also looking like that they are not likely going to

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: play in week fourteen is Christian McCaffrey. He was not

138
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: at practice again on Friday. Head coach Matt Rule says

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: he is not optimistic that McCaffrey is going to play. UH.

140
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: Frustrating on a lot of respects because you know a

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of people who were waiting for McCaffrey to come back.

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: That's one thing I know for c mc himself. He

143
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: had talked about being excited about playing against his dad's

144
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: former team in Denver. Mean, he's a guy who grew

145
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: up in the state of Colorado, so I know there's

146
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: probably some personal disappointment about not being able to play.

147
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: If you have Christian McCaffrey, you have figured out sort

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: of how to navigate around his injury this year. It's

149
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: been most of the year that this has been like this.

150
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: But for you looking ahead to one, how much does

151
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: what we have seen or not seen this year impact

152
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: his draft value for next year? Yeah, condolences to anyone

153
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: who drafted him first overall. It's hard enough when you

154
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: lose your first round pick at at any point in

155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: the first round, but to lose the first overall pick

156
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: if you're still in the fantasy playoffs, kudos to you.

157
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: You've done a really good job of overcoming it. But

158
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: for next year, Marcus, I know, if you are the

159
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: person who drafted Christian McCaffrey first overall this year, you

160
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. But I still think he

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: should be the first overall pick next year, and if

162
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: not first overall, in the top three, no later than

163
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: top five. I mean, he's only played three games this year,

164
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: but in those three games, he's dominated the snaps, the workload,

165
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: he's gone off for fantasy, giving you twenty five plus

166
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: fantasy points in all those games. So he's been product

167
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: him and the workload is not in question anything like that.

168
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Last season was the second best fantasy season anyone's ever had,

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: behind two thousand and six LT only, So I think

170
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: the ceiling is so high. The floor that he has

171
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: shown us when he is healthy every single week is

172
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: so high that he still needs to be considered the

173
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: first or maybe second. I don't even know who I

174
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: would say to take over him, but I think that

175
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: he should still very much still be the top pick

176
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: next season. I think that's fair, especially when you talk

177
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: about what he did when he did last year, what

178
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: he has done in limited opportunities this year. I go

179
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: back to twenty nineteen, there was a game where he

180
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: scored thirty fantasy points and didn't get in the end zone.

181
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: So that says a lot to me about how they

182
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: use him, how productive he's going to be. I also

183
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: sort of look at Mike Davis this year, who stepped

184
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: in and the first couple of weeks looked great. But

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: we've seen him sort of fade away as the weeks

186
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: have gone on, and so I think this speaks to

187
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's consistency when he's on the field. So this year

188
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: has been a lost year for him, no doubt. But

189
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: I do think that when we kind of get to

190
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: next year and we start to look at this rationally,

191
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: you see the opportunity, you see the production, and it

192
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: really is hard to make a case, uh that there

193
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: is anybody else, or at least you know, maybe you

194
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: can come up with one. But I think you're gonna

195
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: have a hard time finding two or three guys that

196
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: you'd want to have ahead of Christian McCaffrey at the

197
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: top of your draft. The thing is, like the other

198
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: guys who we were considering this year, say Kwon Barkley,

199
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: he has he's been out the whole year, Alvin Kamara,

200
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: he could have Taysom Hills. Zeke hasn't been Zeke this year.

201
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I think the first round is gonna look very different

202
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: next year. I would agree you mentioned Kamara. You know,

203
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: if Taysom Hill is the quarterback next year, that changes

204
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: that dynamic and also changes Michael Thomas, who I think

205
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: it was the top three or four pick in a

206
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, So you're right. I think the beginning

207
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: of the first round, the first round in general, may

208
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: just look very different this year or next year than

209
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: it did uh this year. Over to the New York Giants,

210
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: where head coach Joe Judge says he is opted mystic

211
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones playing this week against the Cardinals that

212
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: with a hamstring issue. So if you're looking at Danny

213
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: Dimes this week, say is maybe a streamer or maybe

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, more fittingly as a daily fantasy play, would

215
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: you consider putting him in a lineup. I think I

216
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: like him better in DFS than I do in season

217
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: long leagues. For sure as a streamer, because in DFS,

218
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: especially like a tournament, you're hoping for that upside, and

219
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: he does come with that upside because of his rushing ability.

220
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: We've seen it throughout the year where he can give

221
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: you forty plus rushing yards. He's a game where he

222
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: is over ninety rushing yards and that is like cheak

223
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: code level rushing ability for a quarterback. My only concern

224
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: here is he's coming back from a hamstring injury, so

225
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm worried that to protect him kind of from himself

226
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: and keep him healthy because the Giants are in a

227
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: playoff hunt here, maybe they asked Daniel Jones not to

228
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: run as much this year so as hamstring can get

229
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: a hundred percent better. And if he's not running, then

230
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna get enough fantasy points out

231
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: of just him as a passer um. So that's my

232
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: concern with Daniel Jones this week. But I do like

233
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense as a streamer against him because he

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: does have some turnover prone issues at times. I know

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: the last couple of games before he got hurt, people

236
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: were sort of hoping he turned a corner because he

237
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: hadn't turned the ball over. But the history suggests that

238
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: it is probably going to be a thing still. So

239
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: for that reason, the Saxon turnovers, that's generally what you

240
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: want out of a fantasy defense, and that is certainly

241
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: on the board for the Cardinals. You talked about Jones

242
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and sort of his cheak codeability. That was why I

243
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: thought he really had sleeper potential this year. I knew

244
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: he had to cut down on the turnovers, which he

245
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: really hadn't done, but the fact that he could run,

246
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he is fifth among quarterbacks and rushing yards.

247
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: He has more rushing yards than Deshaun Watson, so that

248
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: speaks a lot to what that part of his game is.

249
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: And if that is not there, that I do worry

250
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: a little bit about what he could do. I would say,

251
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, definitely in daily I don't know that I

252
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: would try him outside of two quarterback leagues if we're

253
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: talking about more season long formats. All right, let's start

254
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: our attention to Thursday night football is So five Stadium,

255
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Patriots, a rematch of Super Bowl

256
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: fifty three, and just like Super Bowl fifty three, one

257
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: of the two teams only scored three points um. This

258
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: time it was the Patriots and not the Rams. Four

259
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: to three was the final score in a game that

260
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: didn't even really feel that close. Uh. The big story

261
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: of the game, no doubt, was cam Acres a hundred

262
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: and ninety four scrimmage yards more than twenty one fantasy points.

263
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Jared Goff got you about fourteen and a half fantasy

264
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: points of passing touchdown a rushing touchdown in that one,

265
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: and then Cooper Cup five catchers thirty three yards in

266
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown fourteen point three points. Those are the only

267
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: three players that scored in double digits in that game

268
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. But let's talk about Acres, and we'll

269
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: talk about him a couple of times in this show today.

270
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: But the huge game they're had, coming off a really

271
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: good game in week thirteen, are we officially sold that

272
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: he is the Rams RB one? Yes, I am, and

273
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: I know. McVeigh came out this morning after the game

274
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: last night and said, oh, we're not gonna name him

275
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: the starter. We're not gonna say what his workload is

276
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: gonna be. Blah blah blah. To me, that's all coach speak.

277
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: He's not trying to give away his game plan. McVeigh

278
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: has been kind of keeping things close to the chest

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: all year, but I think like actions speak louder than

280
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: words when it comes to coaches and mcveigh's actions. The

281
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks have clearly shown that cam Acres

282
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: is his running back. He was coming into last night,

283
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: he was the week before that. He had over twenty

284
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: touches he played six of the snaps. That was the

285
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: most a Rams running back had played in any game

286
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: this year, and Acres destroyed that number last night playing

287
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: one of the snaps. He was the back that was

288
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: the he didn't score any touchdown because Goff had the

289
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. Then they had that short pass the Cooper Cup,

290
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: but he was the back that they were using near

291
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: the goal line, and that's been a trend for weeks.

292
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: He had scored in each of his three games prior

293
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: to last night. And throw the numbers out, Marcus, if

294
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you want to go by the eye test, right, like,

295
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: how can Sean mcveigh's stand there on the sidelines and

296
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: watch cam Akers pick up chunks of yards that their

297
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: chunks of yards every time? Like he had multiple runs

298
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: less last night that went for over ten yards. How

299
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: can you see that and be like, you know what,

300
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I know what's gonna work for us next week, Let's

301
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: get Malcolm Brown and Darryl Henderson back involved. I don't

302
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: foresee that happening. I think cam Akers is gonna eat

303
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: next week against the gents. Before the season started, I

304
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: I was joking that his full given name was cam

305
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Akers who ran behind a bad offensive line at Florida State,

306
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: because that's how everybody sort of described him. Uh, And

307
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: the thought was, okay, well, you know, the Rams offensive

308
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: line was not particularly great last year, so he should

309
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: have some experience with this, and you know, it turned

310
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: out that the Rams offensive line has been better than

311
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: advertised so far this season, so that has certainly been

312
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: a plus. It's taken Acre some time he had the

313
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: injury issues, he was dealing with a committee, but now

314
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: it does seem that Sean McVeigh has fully committed to

315
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: turning the job over to him, So I guess there

316
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: is a level of confidence there. I think, um, it

317
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: has been sort of amusing. I know there is a

318
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: large cam Akers hive, especially amongst Dynasty and Debbie League Twitter,

319
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and uh, it's been sort of musing to watch a

320
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of these folks kind of take big three laps.

321
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's great that he's playing well. I think

322
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that that he looks like he's the

323
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: future of that backfield. Let's also, you know, think about

324
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the fact that for a lot of people, they probably

325
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: gave up on cam Makers because he wasn't giving them anything.

326
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: So while he may end up helping a lot of

327
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: teams win their championships, uh, you know, let's also sort

328
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: of you know, sort of temper the enthusiasm a little

329
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: bit because for much of the year he didn't give

330
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: us much, but I think we're a good spot now

331
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: with him, so I think we can put him in

332
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: our lineups for the rest of the year and have

333
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: a level of confidence that Sean McVeigh has found his

334
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: lead running back, which is really all we we ever

335
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: wanted from the beginning. On the flip side, it was

336
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: a rough night for the Patriots offense. Uh again. They

337
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: scored only three points all night long. Is it worth

338
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: having any Patriots on your roster for the rest of

339
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: the season. I don't feel great about any of the him.

340
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I think it's still in some instances, still worth having

341
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in a two quarterback league for sure. Even

342
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league, it would depend on your options.

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: Like if you have like a Cam and a Matt

344
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Ryan or something like that, then I think he is

345
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: worth holding onto there because of what he can give

346
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: you with his legs and the fact that he can

347
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: go for two rushing touchdowns in any week. But if

348
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: you have say like him and Ryan Tannehill or or

349
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert or something like that, where you're feeling good

350
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: about your other quarterback, then I think you can go

351
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: and cut him, because he's very hard to predict. Marcus

352
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: like so much of why I like him is what

353
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: he does with his legs, but in games with this

354
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: year where he doesn't have a rushing touchdown. Coming into

355
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, he was averaging just eight and a half

356
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy points and he was held to under five last nights,

357
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: so that number is going down. So I don't love

358
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, but I can understand rostering him in certain instances.

359
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: And then Damian Harris is the only other one. He's

360
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't really have much of a ceiling because they

361
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: don't really throw him the ball and they get cute

362
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton near the goal line, so he doesn't

363
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: always get the touchdowns, but he could still give you,

364
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, eleven twelve points in any given week, and

365
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: I think there's value to having that running back and

366
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: can do that on your bench. Damian Harris is definitely

367
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: one that that I like, and I've been a fan

368
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: of him for the past few weeks. He he seems

369
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: to have really locked down that that number one role

370
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: there for the Patriots backfield, and I feel like you

371
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: can't have too much depth at running back, so I'm

372
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: definitely okay with holding onto him. I have been sort

373
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: of in my own personal cam dilemma where I know

374
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: I've been kind of alternating him and other quarterbacks kind

375
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: of streaming from them, and the rushing upside sort of

376
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: keeps me on board. I I have been toying with

377
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: whether or not I don't want to hold on them, um,

378
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: but I think because of that rushing touchdown upside, maybe

379
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: I stick with it. I mean, look, Floria, you you

380
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: were part of the research team there. This is a

381
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: weird quarterback season. Eleven rushing touchdowns, five passing touchdowns. I

382
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: need you. Get you and Okada, Matt Frederick, Kareem Falcone,

383
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: you guys all put your heads together and and let

384
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: me know if there has ever been a quarterback season

385
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: like this, because this is one of the more unique

386
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: ones I think I've ever seen. I don't know if,

387
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: at least in my memory. I can't tell you have

388
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: another quarterback season where a guy played, you know, the

389
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: whole season and he's gonna have double digit rushing touchdowns

390
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: and probably single digit passing that it's unlike like we

391
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: would expect this from Taysom Hill, not Camp. Absolutely. Uh yeah,

392
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: it is. It is weird, but we'll see. I mean,

393
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: it's it's enough that rushing upside is enough to keep

394
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: me hanging on at least for the last a couple

395
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season. All right. Today's show is

402
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: the start of the playoffs for a lot of people.

403
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: We know some of you are still playing your way

404
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: into the postseason where you're playoffs for in weeks fifteen sixteen,

405
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: but not seventeen. Do not friends, don't let friends play

406
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: week seventeen. Just don't do it. You're not You're not

407
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: thinking outside the box. This is not three D chess.

408
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: You're just basically hamstringing the best teams in your league.

409
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Don't do this. Uh, you don't want championships decided by

410
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: third stringers? Mind you don't, I really don't. I mean, seriously,

411
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: it would be like, look, as a forty Niners fan,

412
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: if the league had just randomly told Patrick Mahomes, you

413
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: had to sit down on the Super Bowl last year,

414
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: like that would have been great, the Niners probably would.

415
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: You would have had a parade or something like that.

416
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: But no, really, like, you know, you you built a

417
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: great team. You work so hard. You don't just want

418
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: to arbitrarily have to start random people to try to

419
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: win a championships. Just don't. It was kind of like

420
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: your Warriors markets against the Raptors that year in the final.

421
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, at some point, you know, there's

422
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: no stuff and the clay gets hurt, you know, it

423
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: just it just you know, at some point the Raptors

424
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: were destined to win because the Warriors were you know,

425
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: I had to put a JV team out there. All right,

426
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: let's talking about the Eagles a little bit because one

427
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: of the big stories of the week has been Carson

428
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Winch getting benched in favor of Jalen Hurts. I know

429
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: a lot of folks are excited. They just want to

430
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: see what Hurts can do, considering how much how much

431
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: Wins has struggled, and it was sort of fun to

432
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: see him. You kind of run around and make some

433
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: plays against the Packers who had no idea what to

434
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: expect this week, though he's got the Saints, which is

435
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: a much tougher matchup. They will have at least a

436
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: little bit of tape on on Jalen Hurts to watch

437
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: to sort of prepare. What are you expecting from him

438
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: in this game? I Marcus, we've spoke before about like

439
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: how Sean Payton hates fantasy managers. I think Doug Peterson

440
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: is right up there with Sean Payton because Jalen Hurts

441
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: is someone that myself and and I'm sure many other

442
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: fantasy players have been excited for this year just because

443
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: of what he can do with his legs like nothing

444
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: else and wentz. Jalen Hurt the rush for more yards

445
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma last year than Kyler Murray did the year before.

446
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: So his rushing ability is I think one of the

447
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: best in football. But now we get him the first week.

448
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: It's against the Saints. Like you said, Marcus, who their

449
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: defense is just looking so tough. They haven't allowed twenty

450
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: fantasy points to a player regardless of position, defense and

451
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: kickers included since Week nine. Dave allowed to play a

452
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher in fifty games. You gotta go back

453
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: like three years to the last time they allowed one it.

454
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Their defense is so scary right now that is excited

455
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: as I have been and wanting to see Jalen Hurts play.

456
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: Unless I'm in like a two quarterback league or something,

457
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a wait and see approach. The

458
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Saints defense is way too scary to play a quarterback

459
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: making his first NFL start against them. I also feel like,

460
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the Saints defense is very good. They're

461
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: playing great football on their own. I also feel like

462
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: they might have a sort of a leg up in

463
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: the sense of a lot of the things we're expecting

464
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: out of Jalen Hurts are things they probably see out

465
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: of Taysom Hill on a daily basis. Point who runs

466
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: around you know who maybe isn't the most developed passer

467
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: just yet, but it is very athletic, can make plays

468
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: with his legs. I feel like, you know, like you

469
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: see you hear about teams bringing some guy off the

470
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: scout team. You're getting a wide receiver who played quarterback

471
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: like in high school, off the scout team and having him,

472
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: you know, impersonate a guy. I don't think they have

473
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: to find somebody to impersonate Jalen Hurts. I think they

474
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: just sort of run against tysom Hill and they're like, yeah,

475
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: this is kind of a basic idea of what we

476
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: can expect this week. So I would not start Hurts.

477
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: I can't think of before, even in daily I don't

478
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: know that I would really take the plunge on Hurts.

479
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there, I guess, because they can get you

480
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown potentially, um, but I don't have a

481
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: good feeling about the Eagles scoring a whole lot of

482
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: points in this one or moving the ball consistently in

483
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: this one. So I would stay away from Hurts. I

484
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Floria. I think I'm staying

485
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: away from all the Eagles because even Miles Sanders is

486
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: seeing fewer and fewer opportunities. I just I just don't

487
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: like any Philadelphia Eagles in this game. Am I crazy? No?

488
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so at all. I spoke

489
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: about how good the Saints defense has been, and Miles

490
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: Sanders is the one Eagle we think we can feel

491
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: good about, right, But all it took to get Jordan

492
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: Howard usage Marcus was getting him back on Philly because

493
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: he's now eating into Miles Sanders work, and so is

494
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Boston Scott. It is so frustrating if you have Miles Sanders,

495
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: but he's not even like in my top Tony running

496
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: backs this week, I think you gotta sit him. And

497
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: the Saints defense, though, is the must start defense of

498
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: the week. I think, like with Whence, the Eagles were

499
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: allowing the most sacks per game, and then last week

500
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: when Jalen Hurts came in, he dropped back fifteen times

501
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: and was sacked three of them. So that's not good.

502
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: That's not what you want to see out of your quarterback.

503
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: So I think the Saints defense is the top defense

504
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: this week in DFS or any format. I believe it's

505
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: ten straight games now that the Eagles have allowed four

506
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: or more sacks. That's not good. It is. It is

507
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: a great reason to start the Saints uh in this one.

508
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, though, the Saints

509
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: offense has like it has trucked along. I mean they're

510
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: they're winning games and they won nine in a row.

511
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: They're undefeated. With Taysom Hill at quarterback. We saw a

512
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit out of Alvin Kamara last week. He got

513
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: just seventeen almost eighteen fantasy points, had a long run,

514
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: got in the end zone. Is there a way that

515
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: both Alvin Camara and Taysom Hill can prosper at the

516
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: same time. I don't feel great about it. Maybe this

517
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: is the the pessimist and me, Marcus, But last week

518
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter, there was like a lot of rejoice, like

519
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: a lot of I think relief for Alvin Kamara, Like,

520
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: all right, he got almost eighteen fantasy points. We can

521
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: breathe like he's he's back. He's Alvin Kamara. My takeaway

522
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: from it is like, is he back though? Because if

523
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: this is like like we're getting excited for eighteen fantasy

524
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: points from from Kamara, and I understand that that is

525
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: setting the ball really high to be disappointed by eighteen

526
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 1: fantasy points. But he had fewer than twenty fantasy points

527
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: in basically he had nineteen point nine in one game

528
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: and then besides that, fewer than twenty fantasy points in

529
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: one game with Drew Brees. And now we're talking about

530
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: his best game so far with Taysom Hill being just

531
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: under eighteen. And and still with Taysom Hill, he has

532
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: two three catches for seven yards in three games. Like again, Marcus,

533
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just being too pessimistic and you got to

534
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: talk me off of a ledge here, But if I

535
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: have Alvin Kamara coming into the fantasy playoffs before Breeze

536
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: got hurt, I was expecting to have a top two

537
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: or three running back and a potential league winner on

538
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: my hands. And now I'm just hoping that he can

539
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: give me fifteen to twenty points each week. It's it's

540
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: a big blow to his value. I think it was

541
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: a thing where last week, at the end of the

542
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: game and and seeing the eighteen or almost eighteen points,

543
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, maybe it's okay, maybe we can Exhill.

544
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: Maybe things you're gonna be fine, And then you kind

545
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: of dig into it a little bit and there are

546
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: reasons to still be worried. I mean, he had a big,

547
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: chunky yards on one run. Uh. Fortunately he was able

548
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: to score the touchdown, but that is not necessarily indicative

549
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: of what could happen going forward because Tayson Hill is

550
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: still going to to take those opportunities down near the

551
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: goal line. I mean, Hill is liable to run one

552
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: in from you know, ten fifteen yards out. That's just

553
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the way he plays. So the touchdown upside isn't necessarily there. Uh.

554
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: You mentioned the targets which has always been a huge

555
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: part of Kamara's game. That was a big reason why

556
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: we we loved him so much at the top of draft,

557
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: because he's going to see targets, He's going to get catches.

558
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: Uh he had I think three targets on Sunday, caught

559
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: two of them, but that's seven yards you mentioned is

560
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: is incredibly unnerving. So I do think there are still

561
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: reasons to be worried. And this is the worst because

562
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: uh is Adam Rerank and I talked about earlier in

563
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: the week. At least, if you have Christian McCaffrey, you

564
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: just sort of know like he's just not going to

565
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: be there and you can just make contingency plans around it. This,

566
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways is almost worse because you

567
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: feel compelled to put Alvin Kamara in your lineup because

568
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: you know what the ceiling is and you know that

569
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: there's a chance for that huge blow up game at

570
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: any time, and then to do that and see him

571
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: get you you know, nine twelve, you know something like that.

572
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: You know, even even were rejoicing over seventeen points, that's

573
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: not what you were signing up for. That is not

574
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: why you made him any top we pick in a

575
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: lot of leagues and to have it sort of really

576
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: fall apart, you know, late in the regular season started

577
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That is is maddening. And I don't know

578
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: that it necessarily gets better this week. Maybe week fifteen.

579
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: If you can survive this, it gets week fifteen, and

580
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: hope Drew Brees comes back, then maybe things get better.

581
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: But you are sort of a hard place right now

582
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: waiting for for Alvin Camara's production to come back to

583
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: where it was. I I will say I am excited,

584
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: though I'm not excited. I'm happy that we got to

585
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: see the stretch with him with Taysom Hill, because it's

586
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: just it's sounding even more than ever that like whenever

587
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: Breeze hangs it up at Taysom Hill is taking over

588
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: for him. And I know myself, I would have got

589
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: sucked back into Alvin Camara being like him and Hill

590
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: run in the option that's gonna be so great for fantasy.

591
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: We're seeing firsthand that it is not. And at least

592
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: now we we have some information that we can make

593
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: a decision with rather than just kind of going in

594
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: blindly with him is in Taysom Hill. We talked earlier

595
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: about how the first round of draft is gonna look

596
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: so different and and this could very well be a

597
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: part of it, though, what happens with Alvin Kamara in Pittsburgh.

598
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: They've got three good wide receivers, and we sort of

599
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: talked about this in the past, and I'm still trying

600
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: to figure out, how do we or at least how

601
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: are you sort of sorting out this receiver Deonta Johnson

602
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: seems to be the number one on paper, he is

603
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: actually the third among them in fantasy scoring. How do

604
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: you how do you square this group right now? So

605
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: I I value Deontay Johnson as the wide receiver one,

606
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: at least for fantasy. I put it out on Twitter

607
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: the other day, like because it's always a debate. I see, like, oh,

608
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: who's better Deontay or Juju? And and in real life

609
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: you can debate that all you want, but I think

610
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy there's no debate here. Like whenever Deontay Johnson

611
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: is healthy, and he's been healthy as of late a

612
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: good amount. He gets double digit targets every single week,

613
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: and that kind of volume, it's just it's huge and

614
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: fantasy football, if you have a receiver who you could

615
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: just pencil in for ten plus targets every week. You

616
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: have to feel great about that. And then I think

617
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: Juju is their number two wide receiver, but he is

618
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: more the safe floor, not really the upside that he

619
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: used to have, because I hate the way they are

620
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: using Juju right now. He's has a season a career

621
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: low in in air yards per target, a career low,

622
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: and you would think that all right if they're not

623
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: using him his downfield as much. Hopefully he's picking up

624
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: more yards after the catch. He has a career yo

625
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: low in yards after the catch per reception this year,

626
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: so neither of what they're using him for is really working.

627
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they're using him like he's a

628
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: tight end. And then Chase Claypool He's very up and down,

629
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: but I think his ceiling is the highest of those

630
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: three on any given day because he is explosive down

631
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: the field. They'll use him in the running game when

632
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: they get near the goal line, but he'll can have

633
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: a game like last week where he gives you less

634
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: than five Fantasy points. So that's kind of I know

635
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of confusing with these three, but that's how

636
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm valuing them, at least right now going forward, Juju

637
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: has sort of become the Jordan Howard of of wide receiver. Actually,

638
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: probably not because he's getting like four yards a catch,

639
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: which don't think Jordan Howard's getting four yards a carry,

640
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: So maybe not. But uh, it has been weird. I mean,

641
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I think you have about seven catches for twenty eight yards,

642
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: which seems damn near impossible, but apparently that's what he

643
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: really is. I mean, it's it's it's mind boggling to

644
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: think that that that could happen in a game, but

645
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: that is sort of how the Steelers are using him.

646
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with the idea of Chase Claytpool having

647
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: the highest ceiling, especially because he tends to be the

648
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: field stretcher. Uh, he definitely has some touchdown upside for them. Uh.

649
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, I think, you know, he does look like

650
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: he's going to be their number one wide receiver going forward.

651
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: I know people have sort of complained about his drops. Uh.

652
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: I was one who used to be on the side

653
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: of the guy drops the ball he probably shouldn't be

654
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: on the field. I have sort of come around. I

655
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: have changed my way of thinking. Um, you know, part

656
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: of it is that you get a lot of drops

657
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: because they're throwing you a lot of targets. I mean,

658
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: it would be nice for him to squeeze it more consistently,

659
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: but they're still going in his direction, and for our purposes,

660
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: that's really all we care about. It is when Roethlisberger

661
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: stops throwing it to Deante Johnson because of the drops,

662
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that maybe then we become concerned. But but that hasn't

663
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: been the case. Uh. In Arizona, Kyler Murray has been

664
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: slumping of like the shoulder issue might be more serious

665
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: than either the player or the team is letting on.

666
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: Whatever the reason, Kyler has not been particularly a great

667
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: option last few weeks. Part of it is that he

668
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: is not running the football nearly as much. So when

669
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: you look at Kyler, what is his ceiling if he

670
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: is not going to be the runner that we saw

671
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, it is much lower. Like the

672
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: first ten weeks of the season, the stat that that

673
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: me and the research team kept throwing out there for

674
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Mary is like twenty one plus fantasy points in

675
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: every game this year, the only quarterback in the league

676
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: to do so. Now he's got three straight games where

677
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: he hasn't got twenty one in any of them. He's

678
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: only got twenty in one of those three, and then

679
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: he's got eight and sixteen. Like that is not the

680
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Kyler we signed up for. And in those first ten

681
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, he had one game without a

682
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown and he had one game with less than

683
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: thirty rushing yards. His high in the last three is

684
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: thirty one rushing yards, and he does not have a

685
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown in any of those three, and the passing

686
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: numbers just haven't been there to make up for it.

687
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: It's no offense to to Kyler Murray, but I think

688
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: he's more like a Lamar Jackson. I think he's a

689
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: better pastor than a Lamar Jackson, but I think he's

690
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: like Lamar, more like Lamar than like a Mahomes where

691
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: he can just give you thirty plus Fantasy points with

692
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: his arm. I think for Kyler Murray, the appeal is

693
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: so much of what he was doing with his legs,

694
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: and if you've really taken that away from him because

695
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: of the shoulder injury that he's nursing, I think you

696
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: really have to start to lower him. I still have

697
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: him as a QB one, but he is not a

698
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: top five quarterback and that the first ten weeks would

699
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: have been crazy to not have him in the top five.

700
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: But he I every week he falls a little bit

701
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: lower and lower in my rankings. But as someone playing

702
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins this week, Marcus, I am petrified that his

703
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: shoulder is gonna be normal and they're just gonna go

704
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: back to what they were early on in the season.

705
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Early on in the season, I would watch them and

706
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I said that they had basically two plays throw it

707
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: to nuke, Kyler runs, and and that has kind of

708
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, now they're still throwing it to nuke, Kyler

709
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: is not running as much, and the offense certainly has

710
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: has slowed down because of that. I think it speaks,

711
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, in part to Kyler's situation and maybe the injury.

712
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: I also think it speaks a lot to the rest

713
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: of the receiving corps because you've got DeAndre Hopkins that

714
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: you know is going to be pretty productive weekend and

715
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: week out. They have not found any consistency with their

716
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: other receivers, whether it is Christian Kirk or Andy Isabella.

717
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think at this point you only expect

718
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: so much out of Larry Fitzgerald who we know has

719
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: missed the last couple of weeks on the COVID list.

720
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: But but when he was there, even you still had

721
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: limited expectations. Arizona needs to get production from somewhere else.

722
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: That would certainly help Kyler Seedling. It doesn't that wouldn't

723
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: force him to rush the football as much to be productive,

724
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's going to happen. And then

725
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the next few weeks, so now all of a sudden,

726
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: you are really stuck where if you've been riding Kyler

727
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Murray for so long, you are kind of concerned about

728
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. I don't know how excited I

729
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: am for this matchup against the Giants, who did a

730
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: great job of shutting down Russell Wilson last week. Uh

731
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: in that that big surprise win, and I wonder worried

732
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: that maybe they can do the same again this week.

733
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: To Kyler Murray, you probably started, but it is definitely

734
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: a scary place to be for the fantasy playoffs, It's

735
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: time for Best Value presented by Draft Kings. Every week

736
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: we try to give you the most bang for your

737
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: daily Fantasy bucks, so position by a position, So let's

738
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: start us off for who is your best value quarterback

739
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: for the week. It's boring, but I'm gonna go with

740
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers here, who has been playing pretty good football

741
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: as of late. In fact, since Week six, he is

742
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: the QB thirteen in Fantasy football, and he is less

743
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: than sixteen points and just one of those games, so

744
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna come with a safe floor. But

745
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: he's also scored over nineteen and four of those, so

746
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: he does have some upside. You're gonna get zero rushing

747
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: upside out of this guy, but the Raiders do give

748
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: up the tent most fantasy points two quarterbacks, and they've

749
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: allowed over twenty fantasy points to the position in six

750
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: of their last nine games. So it's kind of like

751
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: just riding a boring hoth hand with Philip Rivers in

752
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: a good matchup. But for less than six thousand dollars,

753
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: I think he's a good value in DFS. Nothing wrong

754
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: with that. I am going to take a shot that.

755
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: Like Daniel Jones, and we talked earlier about what his

756
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: upside could be. Certainly the rushing upside might not be

757
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: there quite as much as he's dealing with that hamstring injury.

758
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: But the Cardinals secondary has given up some plays over

759
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. So here's the hoping he can

760
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: kind of get the ball out to his pass catchers.

761
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: You Evan Ingram can make some plays. They can find

762
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: some other guys to make some plays in the past

763
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: the game. I think there's a shot there. And the

764
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: fact that we talked about sacks and turnovers, you talk

765
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: fantasy sacks don't impact the quarterback directly in terms of points,

766
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: and even with minus two for for interceptions, there is

767
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: a there's a threshold that you can sort of get

768
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: away with if you're putting up an f yours and

769
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the other end, so more maybe a risky play,

770
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: but certainly gives you a lot more flexibility else who

771
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: are on your roster? Who is your value running back

772
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: for the week. It's weird to go with a running

773
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: back who after I just spoke up his quarterback, But

774
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: I think Jonathan Taylor is another good value for the

775
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: Colts here. This week he scored a season high twenty

776
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: two point five fantasy points. But it's not just the

777
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: points that we're chasing. Like last week, he led the

778
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: Colts backs and snaps, carries, yards, touchdowns, and he tied

779
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: the Heeam huns for the lead and targets and catches

780
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: amongst them, and he had more receiving yards and the

781
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown there. I think Jonathan Taylor has been playing

782
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: good ball as of late, and that that's just gonna

783
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: make them more confident to continue to use him. We've

784
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: kind of seen Jordan Wilkins phase out of this offense

785
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: and in a good matchup where the Raiders give up

786
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: a lot of points to running backs and giving up

787
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: the fifth most in fact this year. I like Jonathan Taylor,

788
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that he can kind of follow the

789
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: lead that Cam Akers already said on Thursday night and

790
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: just get another break count rookie running back again. This week,

791
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with another former Wisconsin running back, and

792
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: that's Melvin Gordon going up against the Carolina Panthers. I mean,

793
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: we've been picking on the Panthers run defense all season

794
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: long for good reason. And as much as I like

795
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, as much as I want to see him

796
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: get a larger role, at least over the last few weeks,

797
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: Gordon has been the better running back and has been

798
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: getting a majority of the opportunity, so I expect that's

799
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: going to continue this week. I don't know how high

800
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: scoring of the game this is going to be, but

801
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: I do think that Denver can run the ball effectively.

802
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: Uh and then Melvin Gordon is going to be the

803
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: recipient of a lot of those touches. Turning to wide receiver,

804
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: where are you going for your value pick this week?

805
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm going with Mike Williams here at fort hundred and

806
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: I got burned by Justin Herbert last week. Marcus Adam

807
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: Rank eliminated me in the Fantasy Live weege because I

808
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: started Herbert over Allen. I'm still a little salty, if

809
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: you can't tell, but I'm going back for more with

810
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: this Charge's offense this week against the Atlanta Falcons. They

811
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: give up the second most fan to see points and

812
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: the second most yards to wide receivers, and that includes

813
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: nineteen catches of twenty plus eight yards this year, the

814
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: six most in football. So I am hopeful that better

815
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: days are for this whole offense, but especially Mike Williams

816
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: here as he can get behind this Falcons defense and

817
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: catch a long baller two. The targets have been there,

818
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy production hasn't, I think that changes this week.

819
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: I think this is a bounce back week for the

820
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Charger offense as a whole after what was a pretty

821
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: awful week, uh last week against the Patriots. I'm gonna

822
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: go with Tyler Boyd and even last week I was

823
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: able to catch some balls make some plays. He you know,

824
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: ultimately was ejected from that game. But uh, before that,

825
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: things are gonna go going pretty well for Tyler Boyd.

826
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: So I still think there's an opportunity for him to

827
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: go out and make some plays in the game against

828
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. We have been picking on that defense pretty

829
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: much all year long. I don't see why that's going

830
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: to change this week. And Boyd, I think still is

831
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: the guy that is the number one wide receiver. I

832
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: know Tee Higgins has had some nice games. I would

833
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: Brandon out in the quarterback, but I still think that

834
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: he's going that the Boyd is going to be the

835
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: number one option in the passing game. All right to

836
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: the dart throw that is tight end. Where are we

837
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: going this? Yeah, if you're not going with like Kelsey

838
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: or or Waller this week, I think Dalton Schultz is

839
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: a good dart throw because he has not scored a

840
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: fewer than seven fantasy points since Week eight, and again,

841
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like a whole lot, Marcus, But when

842
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about tight ends, I think that's a pretty

843
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: safe floor at the position at least. And then the

844
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: matchup is just it's great. He gets the Bengals to

845
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game to tight ends,

846
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: including a league high six eight point five yards per game.

847
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: And we just saw last week Micasecki go for nearly

848
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty four fantasy points against this defense. They've struggled against

849
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: tight ends all year. So with the kind of safe

850
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: floor and the good matchup, I like Dalton Schultz here,

851
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: but I like your option a lot as well. Oh thanks, Yeah,

852
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cole Cometz in Chicago, and he is

853
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: very at Lee sort of been pushing Jimmy Graham to

854
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: the background here. And this looks like a game where

855
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: the Bears offense can actually make some some yards put

856
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: up some points against the Houston Texans. I know it

857
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: has sort of been a struggle really relying on the

858
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Bears beyond say Alan Robinson and David Montgomery the last

859
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but Cole Commets starting to get more

860
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: snaps more targets than Jimmy Graham. I think this is

861
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: a week that if you are sort of playing the

862
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: tight end market uh and decided to go value there,

863
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: that that Cole commit could be an option for you. Lastly,

864
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: your value defense for Week fourteen. Yeah, I'm going with

865
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals here. I kind of spoke about it earlier.

866
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones isn't able to run, which is something

867
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: I have some concerns over, I think he'll have to

868
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: throw the ball more. And we've seen at times this

869
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: year when he has to throw where when he has to,

870
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, drop back, you can you can get him

871
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: with the sacks and then force a fumble or get

872
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: an interception. He has thirteen giveaways this year. So I

873
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals defense as a cheaper option than In fact,

874
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm been using them in a couple of my season

875
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: long weeks. This week, I'm gonna go with the Panthers

876
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: in this one, and I talked about Melvin Gordon I

877
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: know earlier is being able to have a good run

878
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: game against this Panther defense, but throwing the football against

879
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: Carolina has not been a great great time, And I

880
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: think they're there. What's his name, Uh, Uh, Drew lock

881
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: that's the guy's name. I'm coming up with his prow

882
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: to throw some interceptions. As you see here, he can

883
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: get you can get pressure on him, you can have

884
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: him make some bad throws. Uh. And I do think

885
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: that that there's an opportunity for the Panthers to to

886
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: make some turnovers, to force some some big plays on

887
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football, and maybe give you

888
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: some production as kind of a value option there for PFS.

889
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: There you go. That was Best Values presented by Draft

890
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Kings started for the Best of the Pack presented by

891
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: Panini Trading Cards. Every week we open a pack of cards.

892
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: We picked three of them out and we kind of

893
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: kicked some ideas around. So first up this week is

894
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield of your Cleveland Browns. You're I win guaranteed

895
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: a winning season Cleveland Browns. Baker was great last week.

896
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: Most of the season, he has, you know, not been

897
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: the greatest fantasy quarterback. They haven't needed him because they

898
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: run the ball so well. But looking at the schedule,

899
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's still the Jets there. The Giants matchup

900
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: is you know, not so great this week, certainly not

901
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. But would you consider, say maybe weeks sixteen

902
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: streaming him somewhere in your fantasy playoffs. Yeah, I think

903
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: Week sixteen is really the only game the rest of

904
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: the way that I am excited about him. And I

905
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: know when people see the Giants they get excited as well,

906
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: at least like I had a friend of mine be

907
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: like when it gets to two New York teams, and

908
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: I was like, the Giants are in the top bottom

909
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: five of points allowed to quarterbacks this year. There, defense

910
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: is playing really well. James Bradberry deserves a ton of

911
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: credit and Adam Ranked too for talking him up all year.

912
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: Like Bradberry has looked amazing all season. I wouldn't play

913
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: him against Baltimore. He was held in a game recipe

914
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: that kind of led to him having to throw a lot.

915
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 1: In Week one, he was still held under ten fantasy

916
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: points there. Last week he had over the twenty nine.

917
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: He's two games that you with over twenty nine fantasy points,

918
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: no other game with even nineteen. So I think outside

919
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: of Week sixteen, I'm staying away from Baker right now.

920
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: That that Giants thing is the one that I think

921
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: sneaks up on people because I think the assumption is

922
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: you look at the record, you look at the fact

923
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: that the NFC East hasn't been great this year, and

924
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: I think the the idea automatically is when you can

925
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: start people against the giants and you really can't. And

926
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: it was why I was worried about Russell Wilson a

927
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It's why I'm worried about Kyler Murray.

928
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: So that's when I would stay away from. But I

929
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: I can see when we get two weeks six team

930
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, you know, talking themselves into streaming

931
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I think certainly he'll be in a lot

932
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: of the FS lineup just to the matchup is really good.

933
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: So so that is certainly a possibility. Okay, next, uh

934
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: name you might have heard once or twice on this

935
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: show today his cam Akers of your Los Angeles Rams,

936
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: fresh off a huge game against the New England Patriots.

937
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: It has been a late a late rise four cam Akers.

938
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: But a lot of times we sort of fall in

939
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: love with the last thing we see from a player. So, uh,

940
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: if if what we've seen the last couple of weeks holds,

941
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: where would you project his draft stock in one Yeah?

942
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: And like let's say he has a big game next

943
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: week against the Jets, and then it continues. Like you said,

944
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: I can see people not quite you know, an RB one,

945
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: but I could see him being one of those RB

946
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: twos that gets a ton of hype. And I saw

947
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: like last night on Twitter, Brad Evans said, uh, I

948
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: have no problem drafting in the third round next year,

949
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: and my first thought was, like, I'd be okay with that.

950
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: But I could see cam Akers being one of these

951
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: players that gets so much hype in August that he's

952
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: going in round two, and then that becomes a lot

953
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: more risky. I think though, that is gonna be his range,

954
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: like after the RB ones are off the board, Like

955
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Swift to go over him, James Robinson

956
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: amongst the rookies, but after those guys, I think that

957
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: cam Akers, once we get to the RB two territory,

958
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: is going to be someone that a lot of people

959
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: are gonna hype up as Oh, this third round pick

960
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: could be a first round pick next year, and then

961
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: he could go even higher. Third round is probably about

962
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: my ceiling for where I would take him. Now, I

963
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: think what might end up driving the hype Again, I

964
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: don't think that all three of those backs will be

965
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: back next year. Acres will certainly be back. What happens

966
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: with say a Darrell Henderson or Malcolm Brown is going

967
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: to have an impact. If one of those guys is

968
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: gone that I think the hype is going to to extend.

969
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: I think if somehow both of those other guys are gone,

970
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: then the hype is gonna shoot through the roof. But

971
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: I also feel like Sean McVeigh is not going to

972
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: give cam Acres Todd Gurley type work like what we

973
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: saw with Gurley during his heyday with the Rams. I

974
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: just don't think Sean McVeigh is going to do that anymore.

975
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: And so the fact that he had that Acres had

976
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: I think twenty nine touches on Thursday night, I mean

977
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: that is amazing. I also just don't think that is

978
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 1: going to be the norm, are going to be the future.

979
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: It just so happened at the game script linked itself

980
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: towards that. So I do still think there's always going

981
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: to be at least one other running back in the mix.

982
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: But Acres is own that he can be the guy,

983
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: and so I would like third round for him. But

984
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: I do fear that the hype is going to push

985
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: him up a little bit higher by the time we

986
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: get to September. Last one it is Amari Cooper with

987
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, And so my argument sort of that

988
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: I will say against Amari Cooper, but one of the

989
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: things I worried about with him was the fact that

990
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 1: in the past his production had been fairly volatible. Um

991
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: that you know, you get the huge spike weeks where

992
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: he'd give you thirty points and then the next week

993
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: he might give you four. That hasn't really been the

994
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: case this year. He has had a fairly stable floor

995
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: week to week, and it's happened regardless of the matchup.

996
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: So at this point, is a MARII Cooper matchup proof?

997
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: Is he a guy that you just said it and

998
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: forget it now? Yeah? I think so, Marcus. Not only

999
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: is it become matchup proof, he's also kind of become

1000
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: quarterback proof. Like they've had so many different quarterbacks and

1001
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: you look at his his game log, like he's been

1002
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: super consistent. He has two games with less than twelve

1003
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: Fantasy points all year, and it's the opposite of what

1004
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: he was, like you were saying for so many years

1005
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: with with the Raiders, and even a little bit with Dallas,

1006
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: like it was all right, and we're gonna get the

1007
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: blow up game, or are we gonna get like it's

1008
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like wide receiver one hundred this week. Well

1009
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: that's not the case anymore. He is. I don't know

1010
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: if he's a consistent wide receiver one for me every

1011
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: single week, but he's a top fifteen guy that you

1012
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: you play and you don't really question it, I think,

1013
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: and honestly, I think I liked this version of a

1014
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper better. Right. It's it's one thing to have

1015
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: him end up as say the wide receiver eight or nine,

1016
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: but you just have that extreme volatility week to week.

1017
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: I would much rather have him be the wide receiver

1018
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, but no that I can plug him

1019
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: in and I can feel great with at least twelve

1020
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: points and maybe somewhere somewhere in the range between twelve

1021
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: and say, you know, the good weeks being twenty five

1022
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: or so points, Like I would much rather, And that was, honestly,

1023
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason I was big on

1024
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup this year. That hasn't worked out, but the

1025
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: logic being that Gallup kind of gave you a more

1026
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: consistent week to week floor over Cooper. Um. Now, Mark

1027
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: Cooper's giving you that solid floor, and I'm totally fine

1028
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: with him as kind of a fringe wide receiver one

1029
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver too, but just knowing that I'm

1030
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: not going to ride the roller coaster from week to week,

1031
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: I'm totally okay with that. So I have really kind

1032
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: of changed my tune and gotten way more on board

1033
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: with a Marie Cooper this year versus say past years.

1034
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens next year. I mean, there's a

1035
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 1: good chance he may not be in Dallas, who knows, um,

1036
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: But but at least we had this year at him.

1037
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: So that was That's been pretty fantastic and that was

1038
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: best at the back presented by Panini Trading Cards. By

1047
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: do on Friday, we turned to our resident and Matt

1048
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: Okada and asked him a question that is fantasy related.

1049
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: This week, we wanted to know about the best playoff

1050
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,239

Speaker 1: Powell in nineteen sixty three, nicknamed Kingpin, Powell is one

1063
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: of the league's first receiving superstars, and sixty three it

1064
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: was a career year, and the playoff stretched power will

1065
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: scored nine receiving TVs and told a hundred fourteen fantasy points,

1066
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,720
Speaker 1: with an incredible fifty nine in champions a week alone.

1067
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: We traveled back to the modern age for number three

1068
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,240

Speaker 1: playoff weeks, including a sixty point outing in Week fifteen

1071
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: that remains a top ten single game fantasy performance to

1072
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: this day. Charles scored eight total touchdowns and a hundred

1073
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: fourteen points seven fantasy points over that stretch. The number

1074
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: two fantasy playoffs stretch goes to NFL m v P

1075
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: and Hall of Famer Ladani and Thomlinson in two thousand three.

1076
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: That year, lt wrapped up five thirty of his league

1077
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 1: leading twenty four hundred scrimmage yards in weeks fourteen through sixteen,

1078
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: along with six touchdowns for a total of a hundred

1079
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: and fifteen fantasy points. Finally, we come to number one

1080
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: on our list, Todd Gurley in twenty seventeen, in his

1081
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: heyday with the Rams, Gurly was finishing off a monster

1082
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: season when he hit Week four team and over the

1083
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: fantasy playoff weeks, he scored twenty eight, forty five and

1084
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: fifty Fantasy points with an insane two hundred and seventy

1085
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: six yards and two TV s in Championship week. That

1086
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,760
Speaker 1: wraps up our list, but only kicks off the Fantasy

1087
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 1: play off. Good luck when you run to the title,

1088
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 1: and may the Fantasy points be with you like you met.

1089
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: Always good stuff there, all right. So maybe a couple

1090
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: of non surprises there, Todd Gurley being one of them,

1091
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: and actually you referenced it on Fantasy Live recently. You

1092
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: talked talked about you expect Derrick Henry to potentially go

1093
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: on a Todd Gurley like rampage through the Fantasy Playoffs,

1094
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: which would not be a surprise. What you mentioned to

1095
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: me that that you had Girley that year and things

1096
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: that I turned out so great for you. Yeah, I

1097
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: had Todd Gurley in seventeen, and I had them in

1098
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: multiple leagues. I one in one of them, and then

1099
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: in the other one. I did the impossible. I got

1100
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: the fifty plus point game out of him and lost

1101
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: because everyone else in my team did nothing. And I

1102
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: still remember it. I lost by single digits and DeVonta

1103
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: Freeman got stuff at the goal line like three times

1104
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: in a row, and if he scored that touchdown, I

1105
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: would have won. Uh. But yeah, I'm not salty about

1106
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: it still, Mark, not at all, obviously not um. So

1107
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: we'll see who as the big championship runs this year

1108
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: exact you said, Derrick Henry is set up great for it.

1109
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: If you could pick a player that you think is

1110
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: going to be on the most Fantasy Championship rosters this year,

1111
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: who do you think it's going to be. I think

1112
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: cam Acres is the early favorite right now, at least

1113
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: that's what Fantasy Twitter would have you to think. I

1114
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: know it's boring. I think it's Derrick Henry though, because

1115
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: the next three weeks or Jacksonville, Detroit, Green Bay and

1116
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: those are three of the top four teams and fantasy

1117
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: points allowed to running backs, and we know that this

1118
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: is the time of year where the Titans just their

1119
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 1: offense changes and they start feeding Derrick Henry the ball

1120
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: twenty plus times every single week. So I think if

1121
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: it's anyone, it will be him. I think Aaron Jones

1122
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: is another one though, because he has a great schedule

1123
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: as well. So unfortunately I don't have either of those

1124
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: two on on my teams that I think could win

1125
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: a championship. And I'm scared because I think those two

1126
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: can just go on a historic run these thanks three weeks.

1127
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with another running back. I'm gonna go

1128
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: James Robinson, And the schedule isn't necessarily superb for him,

1129
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: but I think it's because of sort of how people

1130
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: acquired him, right, I mean, nobody really drafted James Robinson anywhere.

1131
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if you were super hipster or you

1132
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: live in Jacksonville, you did. But other than that, he

1133
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: was a guy that was picked up off the waiver

1134
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: wire after the first couple of weeks and it's turned

1135
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: out to be one of the best running backs in Fantasy.

1136
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: And so I think what's gonna happen is You're gonna

1137
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of teams where they added James Robinson

1138
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: and then maybe they got somebody back after an injury

1139
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: and suddenly ended up with this just loaded, uh running

1140
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: back situation there. So I wouldn't be surprised if you

1141
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: see Robinson there. And this is a number we always get.

1142
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: I know, the folks on our our development team that

1143
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: work on the app, they always sort of compile these

1144
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: things and they always will tell us at the end

1145
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: of the year which player was on the highest percentage

1146
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: of championship rosters. So looking forward to seeing who that's

1147
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: going to be. I do think though, that all three

1148
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: of those names we mentioned, whether it's Henry or Aaron

1149
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: Jones or James Robinson, they're gonna go a long way

1150
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: toward helping people win championships, especially if they produce over

1151
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. All right, that is it. We

1152
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL
