1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of is information into

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: five five dollars. This is a ratable up the table.

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Humans need fantasy to be.

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: My goodness, mistake, I suppose the best, relentless, refusing to

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: give up.

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: All right, hit that horn, very bless theirs?

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: What's of everybody? Welcome to the Fantasy Flex Podcast from

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: the Action Network and Fantasy Abs. I am your host,

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Chris Raybond NFL Week two Waivers Pod. As always, I

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: am joined by one of the most accurate rankers in

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: the game at Fantasy Pro season long in season multiple

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: number one trophies, the odds maker Sean Kerner. Sean, I

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: just saw Cody Schrader was claimed by the Jaguars, which

15
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: means it's time for your boy, Blake Korham to cement

16
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: that backfield.

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Oh that I mean amazing.

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: I mean we have probably a million things to talk about,

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: and he goes straight to Blake Koram. How about Jarcos

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: Hunter being a healthy scratch. I mean, that's your sign

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: right there, that Korum is the clear handcuff. Plus, you know,

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: Charbonnay might be the new RB one in Seattle. Very

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: excited about that, but I'm still in like week one

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: digestion mode. I mean, we finally got to see everybody

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: play this week, we finally have usage numbers. So very excited,

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: like dive in and just talk about all the things

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: that you and I both found.

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a good waivers week because I

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of bilow opportunities about trade opportunities.

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: So we'll get to it with our waiver wire targets

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback, wide receiver, running back, and then height end

32
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: kicker and defense as well. Quick reminder, all of our

Speaker 1: it if you enjoy NFL betting content. All right, Position

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: by position, starting a QB as always, who Sean Kerner

49
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: is your top waiver targeted quarterback heading into we two?

50
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick with our boy, Trevor Lawrence here at Cincinnati.

51
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: Available in around half the league's right now, it might

52
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: be dropped though in a couple so he's not somebody

53
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: that you probably have to spend a number one waiver

54
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: on or even fab someone might drop him if they

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: have him because he had a rough start to the season.

56
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: Finished QB twenty three in Week one against the Panthers.

57
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: But I think part of that is, you know, they

58
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: took a big lead early and then they were just

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: able to lean on the run game aka Travis etn

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: plus you know, Brian Thomas Junior had a touchdown, but

61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: it was a nine yard rushing score, so that screw Lawrence.

62
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: So it was kind of a comedy of errors, you know,

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: for Lawrence's fantasy output, but still love his upside with

64
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: you know, Brian Thomas Junior and Travis Hunter as his receivers,

65
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: so nothing's changed there. You had hinted that, you know,

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: they've been practicing the tush push. Maybe we see that

67
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: at some point around the goal line, especially you know,

68
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby's gone now, so maybe Trevor Lawrence could be

69
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: their short yards back. We'll see, but either way, there's

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: not that many options in this range. He's my QB ten,

71
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: probably a bit aggressive after last week, but I think

72
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: this should be a shootout against the Bengals. If he

73
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: feels us this week, then we can move on probably

74
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: and someone like Daniel Jones should have been scooped up

75
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: already in two quarterback leagues last week. He has a

76
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: tough matchup against the Broncos this week. So not loving

77
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: a ton on the QB waiverwear. But I think Lawrence

78
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: is still the guy in most formats.

79
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he had that. You mentioned it. It was

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: that Bryn. Usually the coaches try to give the quarterback

81
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: those little push passes when they do those runs near

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the goal on so they get the touchdown, but it

83
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: was a straight rushing touchdown for Brian Twas. I got

84
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: a quick I know you could do math in your

85
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: head really quick, So I'm gonna give you a yes. No,

86
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer. I'm just curious if you

87
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: think it's what you think. The answer is Week one,

88
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: yes or no? The most total combined weather delay time

89
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of all time in the NFL.

90
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: Oh for for that game specifically? No, all like we

91
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: had three well, we had oh how how much?

92
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: For a little bit? We had the Jags game for

93
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: a while and then the opening hour.

94
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want me to guess the total minutes?

95
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: No, just has there ever been more total time lost

96
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: in an NFL week?

97
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: Way?

98
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I figured, But I don't know the answer.

99
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: Somebody does the answer. I just figured you had a

100
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: read on it. But I'm surprised they didn't. Like, I'm

101
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: surprised somebody didn't, like, just come up with that stat

102
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: you don't like red zone or something like that.

103
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, yeah, no, it was crazy.

104
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that Jags game was still going deep into

105
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: the afternoon slate like it was wild.

106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to go and target a little

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: further down the list here, Gino Smith is available and

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: about four out of every five weeks he's going up

109
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: against the Chargers and sounds like Brock Bowers is going

110
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: to be fine. That's what he's saying. He's saying, Hey,

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, it was just kind of precautionary. Well, I

112
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: stayed out of the game, so that is something to monitor.

113
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: But if Bowers is playing and we should have an

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: extra day to gain clarity here, then you're looking at

115
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: a Charger d that was four point three in terms

116
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: of pressure percentage, dead last in the NFL per Pro

117
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: Football Reference. They give up the sixth most fantasy points

118
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks thanks to you know, Mahomes getting some on

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: the ground. But Gino could do that a little bit too.

120
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: And in the second half against that Charger defense, the

121
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs gained two hundred and fourteen of a possible two

122
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three yards on their drives. And that's

123
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: interesting because the Chiefs were already down Worthy Rice was out,

124
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: so they were pretty shorthanded, not really getting anything much

125
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: from the backs. Kelsey I had that one play, So

126
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: I think this Charger defense is going to be a

127
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: little bit exploitable. Even though overall, I think they're a

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: well schemed defense. But you know, Gino Smith put up

129
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty two passing yards in Week one.

130
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: He has pretty much every typer receiver. He has tight ends,

131
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 1: he has inside outside guy like Myers. He has deep

132
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: threats like Tucker and Thornton. So like Gino, and what

133
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: could end up being a spot where they need to

134
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: score some points against the Chargers because the Chargers will

135
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: probably put up some points on that Raider d So

136
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Gino available in seventy nine percent of weeks is my target. Yeah,

137
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: it's not a great week, I would say for Waivers,

138
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: right that quarterback? All right, yeah, yeah, I agree on Jones.

139
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: I think it's not not the week you want to

140
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: go back to the well there we heard all the

141
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning like, oh, he's first quarterback ever to never

142
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: not score on a drive, which is crazy, But it's

143
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Now.

144
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, running.

145
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: Back, who do you like?

146
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

147
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: Another tricky week for running backs. So I'm going to

148
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: just go big picture here and go Tyler Aljier, Trey

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: Benson and Brayalen Allen all available around. You know, sixty

150
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: plus percent of leagues you know they're all back up

151
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: running backs obviously, but if their starter goes down, you

152
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: know they're going to offer RB two upside, maybe even more.

153
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: Someone like Algier I think could push low end RB

154
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: one value because they don't really have much else there

155
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: behind him and Bijon. But I think all three becks,

156
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: you know they can offer you RB three flex value,

157
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: especially when we get to these like heavy bye weeks.

158
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: I think they also enough usage where we might be

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: able to trust them in a pinch. So that's why

160
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: those types of running backs I love stashing because they

161
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: kind of have a higher floor end ceiling than a

162
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 3: lot of other backup running backs. And Braylean Allen was

163
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: definitely interesting to me. He didn't really make it a

164
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty time share like we thought with Bresall.

165
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Breshall look excellent.

166
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's not a question of talent, but the

167
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: Jets just ran the ball so much that they might

168
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: be able to have a couple fantasy relevant running backs.

169
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: So I still like Brillian Allen is a stash. So

170
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: I think, just big picture, these are guys that you

171
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: know you're probably not going to spend much FAB on

172
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: because they're already available. For reason in most formats, but

173
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 3: it's good to have them on your bench because again,

174
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: if the starting running echo's down, they're going to be

175
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: the top waiver ad that week. So I like to

176
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: get ahead of that when possible. So all, you know,

177
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: three of those backs, I would say, are you know

178
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: they're too widely available currently?

179
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bets, it really stands out to me because the

180
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: issue with him was he wasn't getting enough passing down

181
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: work last year and this this year. In Week one,

182
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: he essentially saw, you know, half of his snap more

183
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: than half of his snaps came in the passing game,

184
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: which is a big step up from where he's usually at.

185
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: And he only he only blocked once. He ran eleven

186
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: routes and Demriccado didn't really play. So that's that's a

187
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: big development because usually den Riccado is getting those passing

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: down snaps. He's the specialist in the two minute drill

189
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So Benson's just getting you know,

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: pure James Connor backup snaps. And we know James Conner

191
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: probably gonna miss games. I know he didn't really last

192
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: time until until the end, but uh yeah, Benson, Benson

193
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of sticks out there and then Alan got the

194
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: goal on work in New York's so uh yeah, I

195
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: like him as well. Algier is just kind of always

196
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: hanging around here. But I feel like they tip he

197
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: tips the the Uh. It's like a tip off sometimes

198
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: because every time he would run, it would just stuffed

199
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: the ship out of him, and then Bijeon would just

200
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: look completely different every out of the same back, you

201
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: know formation. So I think they might be trying to

202
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: force it a little bit with him, But I agree

203
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: he has a talent that if Bijon went down, they're

204
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: not using what Carlos Washington in the car.

205
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

206
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went good in the preseason, but he was

207
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: an act good so he did.

208
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: But like if if Bijon were to mess time, you know,

209
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: Algier is gonna get most of the work.

210
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

211
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, the efficiency certainly wasn't there. You have to

212
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: wonder if you know, Caleb McGarry's injury is a huge

213
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: factor in that department. But either way, again, like you said,

214
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: they just can't quit Algier. He's still getting work, not

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: somebody who wanted to be playing weeks one through four

216
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: if I'm being honest. But again, once we get to

217
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: these weeks where six teams are on a bye, he

218
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: might you know be a solid RB three flex even

219
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: with Bijon healthy. So that's why he's just a you know,

220
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: really valuable backup to have.

221
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I remember at one point I

222
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: was like flashed the graphic on this and Bijon only

223
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: like three more carries now, yeah or something.

224
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: Jon you know, led the game in receiving yards he

225
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 3: had one hundred. Baker Mayfield led the game in rushing yards.

226
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: Just typical Week one shanigans all around, all right.

227
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: Uh, I think you got to go out and get

228
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Basiel Tutin. I've been talking about this guy. He only

229
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: played it sparingly in Week one, but the Jaguars did

230
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: what I thought they would do eventually and traded Tank Bigsby.

231
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: To the Phildelphia Eagles.

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: That is almost certainly because of Teuton and the desire

233
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: to get him into the fold here, and on his

234
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: three carries in week one, he flashed well four point

235
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: three yards after contact, so he got hit before the

236
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on a few because he only averaged

237
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: three point seven total, so negative yards before but four

238
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: point three yards after contact per carry. That would pretty

239
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: much lead the league if he did that on a

240
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: large stamp, but I'm not saying he's gonna do that,

241
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: but he's been kind of flashing talent, sparing the all

242
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: preseason super fast guy about four to three, and this

243
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: is why they traded Bigsby. So I think long term,

244
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: definitely want touton etm played sixty one percent of the

245
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: snaps in Week one, so I would say about forty percent.

246
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: Tutan would probably ease in what Quint Allen's also playing,

247
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, some pass protection. But I think ultimately Tooting

248
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: kind of uh you know, starts out and what Bucky

249
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Irving was was kind of doing to start last year,

250
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: we were just getting you know, like eight to eleven touches.

251
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: I think they want to start giving Toting that many

252
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: or they wouldn't have traded Bigsby. So between Tooting and Bigsbie,

253
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: I think it was eight touches in Week one, but

254
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: I think that will rise as the season progresses. And

255
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati had a really good afternoon against the run against Cleveland,

256
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: So maybe you hold off on starting him and he

257
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: would be like in the forties for me and we too,

258
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: But you definitely want this guy in your roster long

259
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: term so, like you said, you got to look a

260
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: big picture at running backs, somebody that might be startable.

261
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: This week, Kenneth Gainwell led the Steelers backfield and snap percentage.

262
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: We talked about this in the offseason too. Ten touches,

263
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: not much production, so maybe his snap rate goes down.

264
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: But I heard the announcers talking about how Pittsburgh really

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: wants to use this guy and really excited about, you know,

266
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of getting him involved. He was very involved early

267
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: in the game. Had seven carries, four targets overall, three catches,

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: but fifty four percent of snaps for Gainwell, forty five

269
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: percent for Warren, and just four percent for Caleb Johnson,

270
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: the rookie. Now that'll go up, probably at the expense

271
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: of Gainwell, but it's Week two, Steelers are a home favorite,

272
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: and I still suspect that Gainwell or somebody not named

273
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: Jayvin Warren. I should say we'll get the goal line carries,

274
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: and I think Gainwell would still be leading that because

275
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: he's getting the snaps over Johnson. So he's worth a

276
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: speculative ad just to see how things shake out and

277
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: how quickly they're going to acclimate Johnson. Like if Johnson

278
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: goes from four percent to like thirty percent, then it's like, okay,

279
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: you could drop gaywell again. But if he only goes

280
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: from four percent to ten percent, then it might be

281
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: a slow burned till he gets up to speed. So

282
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: the Seattle defense did give up forty three touches and

283
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and eleven yards to the Niners backfield last week. Now,

284
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: of course that was McCaffrey, but it is notable that

285
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: that's how the Niners, you know, for the most part,

286
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: chose to attack Seattle, you know, with their backs. So

287
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: gainwell ninety nine percent available, so he should be there,

288
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: and then I think the Browns backs are worth an

289
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: ad to Quinn. Shawn Judkins is available in just under

290
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: half of Yahoo Lee's Dylan Samson's available in just over half,

291
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: and the short term I think it's Samson is the

292
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: guy you want to add, but Judkins is a longer

293
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: term add. In Jerome Ford just eight yards on six

294
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: carries in Week one did not play well one point

295
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: two five yards after contact, a yard fewer than Samson,

296
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: and Samson, more importantly, was great in terms of the

297
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: pass game. Eight catches on eight targets for sixty four

298
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: yards on fifteen routes. His four point seventy five yards

299
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: per route was fifth among one hundred and seventy six

300
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: qualifiers across all positions according to PFF in week one,

301
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: second to forty running backs. So I think Samson ends

302
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: up as like the one be more of the passing

303
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: down work Judkins the one eight early down goal line

304
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: vote work. We talked about Raheem Sanders, you know, potentially

305
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: voting a touchdown, and he actually did in Week one,

306
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: so I think that's the kind of Judkins will get

307
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: those going forward. So he probably doesn't play Week two.

308
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: They probably still need to get him up speed see

309
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on with him, but it sounds like

310
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna play it a little more quickly than we thought.

311
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: He is signed now, so uh, he shouldn't be available

312
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: in half of weeks because the Browns, I mean, Samson

313
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: was twelve of twenty nine, Ford was six for eight.

314
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: Sanders only had three carries for a few yards, So

315
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: they badly need a guy like Judkins on the ground,

316
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: and then Samson can kind of be that explosive guy,

317
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, that dual threat, change of pace, you know,

318
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: passing down guys. So both of them are worth to

319
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: add because I think Samson probably earned himself the lead

320
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: back role for week two. He did get twenty touches

321
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: last week anyway, But I think overall, you know, given

322
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: what Ford showed, I think Samson is going to be

323
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: the lead back for the for the Browns week two.

324
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, you want you want to get him short term,

325
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: but even long term, I think Samson's still worth holding

326
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: on to, even even with Judkins returning, because Ford he

327
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: might I mean, he got he's getting paid just like

328
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: a Bucks seventy five mil. I mean, he might just

329
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: be the Pierre Strong role from last year. Yeah, special

330
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: teams and like a carrier there.

331
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: Ford is cooked. He's only gonna have good games when

332
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: I decide to fade him. That's the only time Ford

333
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: does anything. But Sampson's like eight catches. He was the

334
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: backup back on early downs and he got eight catches,

335
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: like absolutely insane. I mean, he's one of the trickiest

336
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: ones to project. But you know, just having Jutkins in

337
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: the mix, it's gonna be kind of messy to start,

338
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: But I agree, you kind of have to add both

339
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 3: these backs and just hope Ford is out of the picture.

340
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: Sooner than later.

341
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: I want to loop back to bashall Tuton, like he's

342
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: an interesting bid in leagues because he only got three

343
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: carries for eleven yards, but he is a must ad,

344
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 3: like he's a guy that you want to be aggressive with,

345
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: but like half the league might not even know who

346
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: he is yet, so you're you're probably gonna be competing

347
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: with just a few guys or gals that are sharp,

348
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: that know he's good. So like, how are you gonna

349
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: bid him? Are you going to be aggressive? Or you

350
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 3: got to get away with like a cheap bed and

351
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: grab them? Like how are you handling that? Or how

352
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: should other people handle that?

353
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: I think it depends on how much you need to

354
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: running back, because the thing is, I think ETN showed

355
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: out well enough that and now with bigs be traded,

356
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: we know Eatn probably won't be traded. So I do

357
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be harder a little maybe a little

358
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: harder for Tooting to to just jump right into like

359
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: you know, RB two value RB one value in the

360
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: next you know, month or so. I can think it's

361
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna take time. Given like easy Ender I think earned

362
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: himself a pretty long wish with that game against Carolina,

363
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: So I would probably I would. I would treat it

364
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: as you know, like you said, if it's a less

365
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: sharper league where you could get him for you know,

366
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: ten percent under, I think you do it. But I

367
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: don't think at this point, I don't think you can

368
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: blow your your fab on them and treat them like

369
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: this bona fide starting running back, because there's still the

370
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: whole point with Tuton, And this is why we talked

371
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: about you know, drafting him laate uh, you know, is

372
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: because you want him on your roster. He's a high

373
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: upside guy, but we don't know exactly when it will happen.

374
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, at this point, I think ETN, with Etn's performance,

375
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: I think he earned himself enough wish that you can't

376
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: go crazy. But the more you need a running back,

377
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: the more aggressive I would be, because Tuton is a

378
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: guy who could be a league winner at that position.

379
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: But if he's just gonna end up being your you know,

380
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: RB four anyway then or even RB three, it probably

381
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: not worth it. But if you could see him being

382
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, a top two guy for you, you're already

383
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of thin. Uh you know, maybe you drafted Tennis

384
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: Walker or something like that Caleb Johnson. Uh then yeah,

385
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: then then I would go with a more aggressive one.

386
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully he didn't draft. Hopefully you're listening to us

387
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: and they draft killed Johnson. But yeah, I think that's

388
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: that's a good point. And again, like know your league.

389
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: I've been in a league where I know everybody knows

390
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: who Bachhal Tuton is. My dad's league, my homely that's

391
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: been around for over thirty years. I set the over

392
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: runner at three and a half. People in that league

393
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 3: know who Bashall Tuton is. He's available. My team sucks.

394
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: It was auto drafted because we were at the live

395
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: event Chicago. I couldn't be there to draft my team.

396
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: So I will be adding him hopefully in that league,

397
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: and nobody will compete with me in that because I

398
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: only think a couple of people, maybe my brother, maybe

399
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: my dad know who he is. But yeah, you got

400
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: another league, and I agree this week there's not anybody

401
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: you should go all in on, but someone like Tutin

402
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: should absolutely be stashed following this bigs Vein news and

403
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: you know how he looked in week one.

404
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I actually think Samson might be what we

405
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: want to Tuton to be. Like quicker than Tuton honestly,

406
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: because Samson, like Ford, was so bad that he could

407
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: literally get demoted to that Pierre Strong role whether or

408
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: not Judkids comes back, and then like at this point

409
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: you could be kind of like a Chubb Hunting where

410
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: remember that year, you know, Hunt had pretty decent value too,

411
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: even though Chubb was the weed back because Trubble wasn't

412
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: playing on pass downs. I could see that with Judkins

413
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: as well, because they clearly want that like big back archetype,

414
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, kind of guy. That's why they had Rocket

415
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Sanders taking goal line work. So but Samson was looked

416
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: good enough that I mean he could he could straight

417
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: up win the featured role, like win the one A

418
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: or even the featured role in this backsould regardless, and

419
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: they are going to run a lot more this year

420
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: in this Stefanski you know, oh, the the original Stefanski offense.

421
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would actually probably go more aggressively on

422
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: Samson because I think he's probably gonna be a little

423
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: easier to get because I think Sharps are going to

424
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: be a little harder, you know, going a little harder

425
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: on Twoton. But yeah, Samson I think could get there

426
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: quicker all right, wide receiver, who are you targeting Sean

427
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Kerner in week two on the way we are?

428
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the first one is a no brainer obviously,

429
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown. Still he's still available in like, you know,

430
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: three four the leagues. But you know, he erupted for

431
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: ten catches nin nine yards, sixteen targets, so he probably

432
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 3: should have had one or two more catches if you

433
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: look at kind of the underlying data he dropped.

434
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: So I think he dropped one or two.

435
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: Right, Well, you know it happens when you haven't played

436
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: much in the less you know, one or two seasons.

437
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: But uh, just looking at his his role and everything,

438
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: and you know, with Xavier Worthy potentially missing sometime or

439
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: none time, he looks like he's, you know, operating in

440
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: the Rashi Rice role. You know, you line up in

441
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 3: the slot fifty two percent of the time. His a

442
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: dot was six point seven yards. So he's not just

443
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: you know, some downfield, low target kind of guy, like

444
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: a Justin Watson role in this offense, like he's playing

445
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: the Rice role.

446
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: And I say, would you say he's playing a Worthy role?

447
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's kind of it's both.

448
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: Right, I was just gonna say he's playing a worthy role.

449
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: He's playing both roles like that's that's what gets you

450
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: ten catches for nine nine yards. So he's so he's

451
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: kind of playing both roles. We'll see if if we're

452
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: these out. Obviously he's a smash wide receiver. Two, we'll

453
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 3: have to see what happens if Worthy he's able to

454
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: play through this. I don't think he's going to be

455
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 3: able to. But shoulder injuries like this are volatile. But

456
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: also Jalen Royals was out. If he's active, you know,

457
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: he might mix in more than people think, so we'll

458
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: have to monitor that. But Hollywood Brown is the one

459
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 3: that I think we can trust this week no matter what,

460
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: at least in this role. So I like, you got

461
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: to add him. He's probably somebody you have to be

462
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: aggressive with. I'd be careful because he might end up

463
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: being you know, two to three week rental, who knows,

464
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: But he's definitely you know, must add. And the other

465
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: guy is Quentin Johnson, you know available in ninety percent

466
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: of the league's went off five catches, seven nine yards,

467
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: two touchdowns. He was such a tricky Week one projection

468
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 3: because it was just unclear how much rookies DeAndre Lambert

469
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 3: Smith and Trey Harris would you know, start to mix

470
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: in if at all. But he was the clear, you know,

471
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: top three receiver in this offense.

472
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: Uh look great.

473
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, I lost my reception under two and a

474
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: half reception bet because he played so much. And I

475
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: was texting, I was like, what's your projection for his routes?

476
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: Run rat?

477
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's that's why I love week one, Like

478
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: I'm always careful week one because no one knows, but

479
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 3: now we know. Uh so you know he's gonna be

480
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: you know, a borderline wide receiver three.

481
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: At times in this role.

482
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: And he's been justin Herbert's top right red zone target

483
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: now for a couple of seasons. So the two touchdowns

484
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: might not even be flukey. So high on Quintin Johnson.

485
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: Think he got Adam just given his upside and this

486
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 3: offense is more pass heavy than I expected. So got

487
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: to give a shout out to QJ, even though he

488
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: burned me in week one.

489
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you got him, I would trade him,

490
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so quickly?

491
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: High?

492
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because like you got Keenan Allen. We don't

493
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: like it's he's you know, sometimes you follow the Amari

494
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Cooper path where it's like we're gonna retire, we suck,

495
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: But Keenan Allen actually went good out there, ran around

496
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: on nearly eighty percent of the dropbacks and has chemistry

497
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: with Herbert Toos. So if he's not going anywhere and

498
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: you want to get Harris and Lambert Smith more involved

499
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: at some point, that's still probably coming out of Quinton Johnston,

500
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: who has been the most you know, inconsistent of you know,

501
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: between him Alan McConkie, just in terms of their careers.

502
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's just hard to see him continuing

503
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: to have like when he only has one game and

504
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: he has two touchdowns eighty you know, seventy nine yards.

505
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be hard for him to average

506
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: seventy plus yards over the season. So his value may

507
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: never be or the perception of his value and never

508
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: be higher. So yeah, I would, I would sell if

509
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: you have them, But yeah, he is absolutely worth a

510
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: pickup on the wire if you don't.

511
00:26:59,520 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: If he's there.

512
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: Mentioned a couple of games Darnell Mooney and Ray Ray McCloud,

513
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: so Mooney's available in about half of the leagu's McCloud

514
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: available and pretty much all of them, it's all hinges

515
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: on London and then Mooney's injury status, so London's questionable

516
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: with a shoulder. He got knocked out late in that

517
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: Falcons game when they were driving and I think they

518
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: were trying to on the drive where they ended up

519
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: going ahead. But if he doesn't play, that really opens

520
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: things up target wise for a guy, you know, for

521
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: whoever their top receiver is. If it's because London had

522
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of targets and thirty percent of reception

523
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: share on just eighty three percent of route shares, so

524
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: he probably would have had forty percent of their targets

525
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: had he stayed in the game. So if it's Mooney,

526
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: then we saw what Mooney did last year At times

527
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: he was a decent wide receiver two to three option.

528
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: But with his health up in the air, it may

529
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: end up being Ray Ray mcole cloud, who is again

530
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: available in pretty much every league, and he you know,

531
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: they on the on the telecast they called him the

532
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: falcons best route runner, which I never thought of it

533
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: like that, but I mean, okay, maybe, so either way,

534
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: he's definitely a guy who was ever since this. You know,

535
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: Zach Robinson offense came to Atlanta a lot more involved

536
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: than we thought. And if that's I mean, usually when

537
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: they say things like that, it's because they get in

538
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: some intel, they do those meetings, you know, with the

539
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: coaches and everybody. So I would think McLeod would see

540
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: a massive boost and value with London and Mooney are out.

541
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: At times, McLeod was, you know, still putting up usable

542
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver three value even last year with those guys in,

543
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: because he was running around about ninety percent of dropbacks

544
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: around eighty percent in Week one. But I think if

545
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: London and Mooney are out, it will tick up. So Mooney,

546
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: if London's out and he's in, and if both of

547
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: them are out at McLoud and then other guy shout

548
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: out to our guy, doctor Nick. Nick giffen Kaishawn Booty

549
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: available in ninety eight percent of leagues, and he led

550
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: New England in routes run rate at eighty three percent,

551
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: digs was at seventy percent, top Douglas seventy three percent.

552
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: And this Miami defense gave up the fourth most air

553
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: yards on completions in Week one with one hundred and

554
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: fifty three per Pro Football Reference. So that is Boute's

555
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: forte down the field, but if he can be a

556
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: volume guy, which we kind of heard whispers of this.

557
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: One of the New England beat riders was saying that, hey,

558
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: you know this guys, it's kind of stunning to turn

559
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: around that he had in camp. And so he's a

560
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: guy that I think is at least worth a speculative

561
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: ad because you know, maybe Stefan Diggs just never fully

562
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: gets back, maybe he continues to be a part time guy.

563
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Douglas most were going to be in one one personnel anyway,

564
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: So Butta really could be what we wanted Kyle Williams

565
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: to be, where he kind of you know, surpasses digs

566
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: and is that high upside New England wide receiver. But

567
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: at this point he's hurting Williams value a lot, because

568
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty much now it's pretty much you know, I

569
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: would think Giggs has to get hurt for Williams to

570
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: see any type of value. But Bota, I think he's

571
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: here to stay. And he was a guy that was

572
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: on the field almost every down last year as well.

573
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: So the fact that he earned his way right back

574
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 1: into the lineup again in a little bit more crowded

575
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: of a receiving core. I think both well for him,

576
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: so Kashawan, but a good Week two matchup against those

577
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Miami corners.

578
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Falcons wide receiver situation might be tricky for

579
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: this week because they play Sunday at Football and there's

580
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: a chance that like London and Mooney are still game

581
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: time decisions. We haven't gotten a schefter bomb yet like

582
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: anything official, so you gotta be careful about that. But

583
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: either way, I think Mooney is still an ad long

584
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: term in this offense anyway, but just Week two it's

585
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: shaping up to be very murky like potentially when we're

586
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: locked in the layups Sunday morning.

587
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully we I mean, the cloud is available in

588
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: every week pretty much, so he's not really a that

589
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: would only come into play if you know, both guys

590
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: are out, but Mooney is worth kind of like a

591
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: speculative ad and then you know if one, even if

592
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Onedon is in, like you said, Mooney still could be

593
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: about kind of like a fringe flex kind of guy

594
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: going forward. So all right, we'll get to tight end

595
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 1: kicker and defense in a sec. But uh, the NFL

596

609
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: who do you like at tight end heading into week

610
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: two on the waiver wire?

611
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: All right?

612
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: So, for I mean, first of all, the tight end

613
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: position was an absolute I'm not gonna say disaster, but

614
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: just chaos, just pure chaos. Yeah, So we got to

615
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: this is why we were saying don't draft tight ends early.

616
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 3: I did like Kittle at tight end three look great

617
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: for the first third of the game, but now he's

618
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: out for multiple weeks with an injury.

619
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: He's no conscious.

620
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: Well yeah, we'll get to him in a bit.

621
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: But just all these guys, like just below the tight

622
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: end one tier, we knew there was some potential league winners.

623
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: So let's kick it off with old Fan and Junior

624
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: of the Browns. He's my guy to add this week,

625
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: available in ninety seven percent of leagues. Just had an

626
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: amazing debut. Seven catches, sixty three yards. They even gave

627
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: him a design run for three yards. Not much, but

628
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: we'll take anything we can get when it comes to

629
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: tight ends. Had a really solid, you know, sixty five

630
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: percent routes run rate. According to Fancy Points data. He

631
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: was actually the first read twenty four percent of the time,

632
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: which is tied for second on the team with Cedric Tillman.

633
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: David Joku is just eight percent. So they're already featuring

634
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: the rookie over Djoku, which is wild. And also, you know,

635
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: there's a chance that Najoku gets traded at some point

636
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: in the season. So that's why I'm a fan of

637
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: adding Fan and Junior now, because he already might push

638
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: you know, borderline tight end one tight end two value

639
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: if he keeps this up.

640
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: But if Djoku gets traded, I mean he is for

641
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: sure going to be a tight end one.

642
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: So I think you got to get on this early

643
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: and Adam, even if you're not playing him this week,

644
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 3: he's the type of tight end I'd be okay rostering

645
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: two tight ends, especially if you have someone like Houlson

646
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: Lovelin who will get you on the projection SPoD. I

647
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 3: don't think he's playable this week. I would go out

648
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: and get fan and Junior if possible this week. Maybe

649
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: not spend one hundred percent of your fab on him

650
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: kind of play, but certainly be aggressive and just get

651
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 3: him on your roster.

652
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: Who would trade for Nadjoku? You think?

653
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I have no clue, But they

654
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: got to find somebody right San Francisco. They will find

655
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 3: some loophole to get him for like one hundred grand

656
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: for the rest of Yeah, the Eagles absolutely absolutely that

657
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: that would make a ton of sense.

658
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree, I think Fannin could just end

659
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: up being more featured in the offense because the Joku,

660
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: bigger guy, could end up just being in the blocking.

661
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know, part of the pair. For me, I'll

662
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 1: go Brett and Strange he's available in seventy eight percent

663
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: of the leagues at Cincinnati seventy percent route rate in

664
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: week one. I may get a few more that might

665
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: take a little higher if the game is a little

666
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: more competitive. But he was sixth among forty three qualified

667
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: tight ends with two point five to seven yards per

668
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: route according to Pro Football Focus, and the Bengals give

669
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: up the most targets to tight ends with the help

670
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: of fan in fifteen the most receptions to tight ends

671
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: at ten, second, most yards and one hundred and forty one.

672
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: So this could be another good match up here. And

673
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: I think with the way the jack, with the way

674
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: you have to guard the Jags with you know, Thomas

675
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: and Hunter and then you have you know, we'll see

676
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: what happens with ETN and two, and Strange is going

677
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: to be open. And we saw that already in Week

678
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: one where he was accounting for, you know, about a

679
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: quarter of Trevor Lawrence's passing yards. So, uh yeah, I

680
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: think Strange continues to eat. He looked really good out there,

681
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: and I think he'll be in every down. Guy, I

682
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: know he got I know Hunter Long ended up getting

683
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: a touchdown, But long term, I think Strange will get

684
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: We'll get some of those as well. And uh he yeah,

685
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: he just passed the iss for me. Uh. In week

686
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: one and the Bengals I think are still gonna be exploitable.

687
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: They might even be a pass funnel. They played really

688
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: good against the run. I don't know if that was

689
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: just a function of the Cleveland offensive line or what.

690
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: But a ton more passing yards did the Bengals give

691
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: up than rushing yards. I mean, they gave about almost

692
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: triple just the tight ends alone. Then they gave a

693
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: rushing total. So yeah, like uh, like our guy Brenton

694
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: Strange in week two and going forward defense special teams,

695
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: who do you got, Curner.

696
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Rams. Uh.

697
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: They're available in seventy one percent of leagues. They face

698
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 3: the Titans this week. They open the week as my

699
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: number one defense, believe it or not. They just check

700
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: every box for the things that you can actually project

701
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: for a defense. Again, we can't really project pick sixes

702
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: and things like that, but you know, hey, cam Ward

703
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 3: might contribute to that. Cam Ward had a clean Week

704
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: one in that department. He didn't throw an interception, but

705
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: I think those are coming, maybe as soon as this week.

706
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 3: But more Importantly, he got sacked six times, so he

707
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 3: got sacked on thirty three percent of his pressures. Granted

708
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: it's a small sample, but it's the only sample we

709
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: have on him. He might be the type of quarterback

710
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: that does take too many sacks. And I very high

711
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: on the Rams defensive line as a unit, so I

712
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: think that they could easily get three plus sacks here.

713
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: Plus the Titans have the second lowest team total of

714
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 3: the week, so they really have everything you want when

715
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 3: it comes to a streaming, you know, defense, and you

716
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: know that's why they open up the week as my

717
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 3: top ranked d.

718
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: So you're just Baltimore just that that comeback, I mean

719
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: not Baltimore completely out of there.

720
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 3: They are neck and they are tied for basically number

721
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: one overall defense if you like, they're owned in what

722
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: every single league?

723
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just kidding.

724
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, if you owed them, you're not dropping

725
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 3: them to pick up the Rams. But Flaco had zero

726
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: turnover worthy plays last week, so that was something. But yeah, no,

727
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 3: obviously the Ravens are also a smash play as well,

728
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: but less widely available.

729
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: Let's just put it that way.

730
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go with the defense available in

731
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: about two thirds of ease the forty nine ers at

732
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans. New Orleans thirteen points in week one, third one,

733
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: with team total in week two at eighteen and a half.

734
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: But the thing I like what we want for our

735
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: defenses face passing plays. New Orleans forty nine designed passes

736
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: in week one, which was kind of surprising. I know

737
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: they were coming from behind, but they might be doing

738
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: that again. I will see who the Niners start at quarterback.

739
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: Mike Jones might get to start for party year. But

740
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: either way, you know Ratler to turnover wheth he throws,

741
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: but no pick, so usually you know that should be

742
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: at about a pick. You know about half of those

743
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: who turn into picks there. So I think some regressions

744
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: coming for Ratler, not only in the interception department, but

745
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: he took just one sack on on fourteen pressures. That's

746
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: a seven point one pressure to sack ratio for Ratler

747
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: in week one career. He's about twenty and a half,

748
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: which would be just under three expected sacks. So the

749
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: sacks should regress, interceptions should regress for Rattler. The Niners

750
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: were eleventh and pressure rates and the Saints might be

751
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: a pass heavy team under Kellen Moore, we'll see so

752
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: uh and and I like the talent on the Niner,

753
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: on that Niner defense, I think they can force some

754
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: turnovers here. So going with San fran Cisco Hill in

755
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: two thirds of leagues, they are my defense number three.

756
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: So right behind the Rams.

757
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: You have Rams, you have Ravens, Rams, Ravens.

758
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ravens, Rams, Niners and each about the Ravens are

759
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: about a point, almost a point ahead of the Rams

760
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: for me, and then the Rams are almost a point

761
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: ahead of the Niners, and then everything's super close after that.

762
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 3: Got you, Yeah, yeah, I was looking, uh Flaco, he

763
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: had zero turnover really plays, but two picks because they

764
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 3: both hit the receiver and they dropped it.

765
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, those receivers will still be there.

766
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 2: True.

767
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got more. And and Fla ain't gonna

768
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: stay at zero percent turnover throw.

769
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: The turnover play at some point. That's kind of my point.

770
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: But he did get unlucky in week one. But good

771
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: for your sneaky you know Bengals defense play.

772
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I will say, you know, even though

773
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: they did, I know they got gifted some, but it

774
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: did look a lot better. Yeah, all right, let's close

775
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: it out with kicker. I know you just got that

776
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: whole new kicker model. You're really excited you're targeting in

777
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: week two.

778
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're yeah, we're dealing with a new kicker model.

779
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: It.

780
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: You know, I got got screwed on Chase McLaughlin over

781
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: one and a half fidals. It's the first time I've

782
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 3: seen him miss the field goal before. But I'm going

783
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: with well, first of all, you should still have Cam Little,

784
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 3: and in most leagues, I still think he's a long

785
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: term out.

786
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: He was number one in my way. Where did he

787
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: end up for you last week?

788
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 2: Cam Little?

789
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: I think, like, yeah, I don't I don't remember those

790
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: kind of things, but I think definitely top five, maybe

791
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: my fourth kicker.

792
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: Okay, now I remember because he ended my one.

793
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: Oh love it. I don't have him this week.

794
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't have him as high this week.

795
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: But if you need a kicker that isn't Cam Little,

796
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: I'd go with Will Reikert. The vikings available in you know,

797
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: ninety two percent of leagues. He was a perfect two

798
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 3: for two in Week one, including that fifty nine yarder,

799
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: and I think he could become one of the best

800
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: kickers in the league. He looked awesome last year as

801
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: a rookie. Then he struggled at the end, but it

802
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: was after his injury, so I think that kind of

803
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: could have been, you know, one of the reasons he struggled.

804
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 3: But you know, he has a nice matchup here at

805
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 3: home in the Dome against the Falcons. Vikings actually have

806
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: one of the higher team totals of the week, which

807
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: is kind of surprising, but it is what it is.

808
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 3: But I think more importantly, it was very clear that

809
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell trusts his kicker more than his quarterback, because

810
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 3: you know, they were driving there to end this the

811
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 3: first half. They had ten seconds left on the clock

812
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 3: and instead of letting McCarthy trying to get one more

813
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: completion and you know, make it a little bit easier

814
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: on record, he said, screw it, We're just sending the

815
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 3: kicker out there to you know, attempt to fifty nine

816
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: yards or ten seconds. I trust him more than my

817
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: you know, basically my rookie quarterback, and he drilled it.

818
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: So I think the Vikings will they'll be more conservative

819
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: and a tent more field goals at least in the

820
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 3: short term. So I think record's very sneaky and again

821
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: he's available in ninety two percent leagues and he's my

822
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: number two kicker to open Week two.

823
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: I think you're hearing capital conotsohmuch credit. He just fucked up.

824
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: He's fucked that up. I mean, yeah, if they had

825
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: missed that, they would have given essentially the Bears a

826
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: chance to do the same just kicking go Well, it

827
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: was not a good It was not a good kick.

828
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: That was not the first half of a card. That second

829
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: care he's a whole different card.

830
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so let's let's let's play this out. If

831
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: if the record misses that, it still takes off like

832
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 3: five seconds. Now you need Caleb Williams to complete a

833
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: pass in like three seconds and they got to get

834
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: it within like the thirty because Santos can't make a

835
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: fifty yard or so.

836
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got it. Pably did factor in. Yeah, like

837
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: but still, I mean it wasn't a good play. He

838
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 1: left way too much time.

839
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's beside the point.

840
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 3: But the just you know, first half, JJ McCarthy was

841
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 3: a different version of uh, you know JJ McCarthy that night.

842
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 3: But I think McCarthy, who knows he would have taken

843
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 3: sack or thrown it, who knows.

844
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: I think you just kicked it there. I think he

845
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: did the right move.

846
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: Nah, that was like, who's worst play I've ever seen

847
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: him make. Kevin O'Connor's like one of the best coaches.

848
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: That was like a hedge sketch that could have come

849
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: that could have been bad for them because like that.

850
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's been so many times where teams have

851
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: gotten like cheap points, like look at the Bills. They

852
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: got those three points against the Ravens, and that essentially

853
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: could have you know, cut out out uh an impact

854
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: on the outcome later on. You never really know. So yeah,

855
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: I think that was that play. I think either way.

856
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, record this is all a Reker tweet because he drill.

857
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 3: I mean he still had like five It was right

858
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: down the middle. He still had like five ten yards

859
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 3: of spare just.

860
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: In Chicago. In Chicago, he's usually kicking indoors. Yeah, I

861
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 1: got Tyler. Tyler loops still available in way too many leagues,

862
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: I think over I think about sixty something percent of weeks,

863
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: and he's my kicker number one for week two again,

864
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: Ravens my defense one. Yeah, I mean listen, he had

865
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: five point after tries and two field goal attempts against

866
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. Now he's going up against the Browns, might

867
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: get even more field goal attempts in just as many pats.

868
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: He did miss one, but he was still the kicker

869
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: number six in Week one in his first ever game,

870
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: so I'll rolle with that. You know, last time Baltimore

871
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: had a young rookie kicker that we didn't know, he

872
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: ended up being the best of the best of his generation.

873
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: So I want to get ahead of get ahead of

874
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: this with Tyra Loop and pretty sure the Ravens, now

875
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: that they've gotten this Bills game out of the way,

876
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: are not gonna be underdogs very much more so. He's

877
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: a guy that you can pretty much hold for the

878
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So that's why I like him

879
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: as well. But he's also my number one kicker for

880
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: a week number two against the Brat all right, that's

881
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna do it with that kicker. Talk our NFL Week
