00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by

00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. Here's your host, Marcus Grant. What is up?

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings. It's made your man, MG Marcus Grant,

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: still masking and socially distancing, win and where necessary. And

6
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: we are almost two week twelve. One more game left

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: in Week eleven, which means we're getting closer to the

8
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: end of the fantasy regular season, which means all these

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: games get a lot bigger. I know for a lot

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: of folks, this really is crunch time, trying to make

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: sure you make that last push to get into the playoffs.

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I know for some folks it's you're on easy street

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: right now. You are already locked in to the postseason

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: and it's just about getting your roster ready. But whatever,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: We're here to sort of recap what happened over the weekend,

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give you some waiver wider options on

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: what is regularly I need great waiver wire week. But

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: we'll try to certainly help you out with that, and

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: of course we will preview the Monday night game, really

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: interesting one between the Rams and the Buccaneers. Kimmy Checks

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: will be here to help us do all of that

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: and more. But before we get into it, let's talk

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: to our faith for producer seenor Edward L. Murphy Esquire

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: and Murphy was it was it sort of relaxing this

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: week to not necessarily have to fret about the Giants

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Oh? Absolutely. I mean it's a great

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: week for them too. They're coming back healthy, Eagles, got

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: a big l which really helps us out. Um. It's

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: sad to see what happened to Joe Burrow though, because

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the Giants are playing the Bengals next week. Um, but

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: they're getting back Xavian McKinney, their second round pick, who

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: is supposed to be an impact safety for them. So

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty ecstatic about the Giants. Did not like to

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: see that, Dallas, Wayne, But um, if you're you know,

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I think the smart move here is to predict the

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna win the NFC. So I feel pretty

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: good right now. I think it's they've got as good

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: a chance as anybody. You have four teams all with

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: three wins. You know. The weird part, though, Eddie, is

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: that you know the best thing that could have happened

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: to the Eagles right now is a tie. I mean

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: that tie could end up being the thing that helps

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: them win the division, which is a word a phrase

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: I never thought I would say in my life. Yeah,

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: and man, that that Evan Ingham dropped a few weeks back,

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: like hitting his fingertips is still uh haunting my brain.

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: But um, it's strange is going on with those Eagles.

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And I mean to see Carson Wentz play the way

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: he is, like I don't I don't understand this division whatsoever.

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Like I thought the Cowboys they were my pick to

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: win the whole division. I didn't think the Eagles would

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: be in the mix. Um, And now to see the

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Giants after looking miserable early on being uh, you know,

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: being a part of this thing, it's it's like it

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: really makes no sense. Like there has to be like

56
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: an ESPNT for thirty on, like CS there really should. Uh.

57
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: But it is a four team race to the finish

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: with just a handful of weeks left, so if nothing else,

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be entertaining in its own special way to

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: watch how this thing shakes out. So I'm certainly will

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: this is not the last we will talk about the

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: NFC East before the season it's over. However, we will

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: turn our attention to the one and only Kimmy Checks,

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: who I'm sure had her own bit of stress last

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: night watching her Kansas City Chiefs have to fight tooth

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: and nail against a good Raiders team. I mean, they

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs once, very nearly did it again last night.

68
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: I would imagine your stress levels were through the roof, kimming.

69
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I was the Derek carrmin in the fourth quarter because

70
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: we kept getting all those penalties on defense and I

71
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: literally was sitting on my couch like this. I was

72
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: living But then of course we ended up and pulled

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: it off. Patrick Mahomes all all he needed was what

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: was a minute in forty three seconds to go down

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: the field and get that amazing touchdown to Travis Kelsey.

76
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: So I'm living large this morning. A little bit of stress,

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: but I'm in much better of a mood than that

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Derek Carmin. Now, I will tell you, and I'm sure

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: you have a level of confidence. I mean, when when

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is your quarterback, is easy to be confident.

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: But I feel like the the rest of the football

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: population that didn't have a specific rooting interest in that game.

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure they looked at it and they said, well,

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes has a ball with like a minute forty five.

85
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Like I think everyone was just kind of like, yeah,

86
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: we know how this is going to end. And it

87
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: ended exactly the way we thought it would end, with

88
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: my Homes throwing a touchdown to Travis Kelsey, uh, and

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: then the Chiefs to get one last stop, you know,

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: getting the interception laid on that one. And so I

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: know for you it was probably stressful for the rest

92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: of us were like, oh, yeah, we've seen this movie.

93
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: We know we already know how this is gonna end. Which,

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: although here's the thing, I saw the step last night,

95
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: I should I wish I thought to pull it up.

96
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: I believe that was the first game winning touchdown that

97
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes had thrown in the final two minutes. Uh. It's

98
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: it's some some kind of step that was just mind

99
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: blowing like that that that if something he had never

100
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: done before, and I would have never in a million

101
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: years guess that that that would have been the case.

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: But but here we are, so okay, let's turn our

103
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: attention to some fantasy headlines. Let's start though, with what

104
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: was maybe the biggest fantasy story leading up to the week,

105
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: and that was Taysom Hill. Uh. We we thought, you know,

106
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: this time last week, we thought it was going to

107
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: be Jamis Winston as the quarterback. By the time we

108
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: got to the weekend, we realized it was going to

109
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: be Taysom Hill getting the start, and we wonder, what

110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: does Jami's work in At any point, knew it was

111
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: all Tasome, all the time for the New Orleans Saints

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: and they gotta win over the Atlanta Falcons. A parent

113
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Taysom Hill. Kimmy just neither one with his arm,

114
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: both with his legs, and so I just gotta just

115
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: ask you general question, what did you think of Taysom

116
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Hill's debut as a starting quarterback? What he's not a

117
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: quarterback is the tight end. What are you talking about?

118
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: His starting debut as a tight end was incredible? No,

119
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean it was good. Do you see the stats

120
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: right here? Eighteen three yards, ten rushes, fifty one yards

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: and two rushing touchdowns. Now, I think before Sunday's game,

122
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: we were talking on NFL Fantasy Game Day and we

123
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: were like, oh, Taysom Hill, He's gonna be in for

124
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: a few snaps and then Jamis is gonna take over.

125
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: This means bad things for Emmanuel Sanders and Michael Thomas.

126
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: This means great things for for Alvin Kimara quarterback proof

127
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: and all of that was kind of the reverse. Taysom

128
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Hill start stayed in as a starting, starting quarterback that

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: entire game. For that win over the Atlanta Falcons. We

130
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: saw that Michael Thomas was actually used quite a bit,

131
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, this was kind of a mate good from

132
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: his nonproduction last week, which was a little bit of

133
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: a surprise to us. And then on the reverse side

134
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: of that, Alvin Kamara wasn't as great as he could

135
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: have been because Taysom Hill went in and did his

136
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns himself. So I think my biggest question

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: now is does this mean bad thanks for Alvin Kamara

138
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: moving forward? And then what does this mean for the

139
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: Saints organization as a whole and for all of those

140
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant players Michael Thomas, does the same production continue?

141
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: What about Emmanuel Sanders? What do we do with all

142
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: those pass catchers including Jared Cook? So I think there

143
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: are a lot of question marks, but a huge question

144
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: mark for me is do you want to starting quarterback

145
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: for a franchise that doesn't throw passing touchdowns that well,

146
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing, if you're if you're talking fantasy, you

147
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: mean it almost works out having Taysom Hill run the

148
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: ball in because if you get four points for passing touchdowns,

149
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: those rushing touchdowns are even more valuable. But the Alvin

150
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: Camara thing that you mentioned was something that was on

151
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: my mind last night because Camara ended up not having

152
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: a very good fantasy game because you mentioned Taysom Hill

153
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: is likely to take it in himself, and we saw

154
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: him run the football quite a bit. I even noticed.

155
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: I went back and watched that game again last night.

156
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I noticed that late in that game, once the Saints

157
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: had it wrapped up and we're just trying to run

158
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: out the clock, a lot of times it was just

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Tastom taking the ball himself, uh, instead of handing it

160
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: off to Alvin Kamara. There's also a good stretch of

161
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the game where Latavious Murray was in, but that's a

162
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: different conversation. I will say that takes him through the

163
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: ball fairly well. He had some nice throws. It was

164
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: nice to see him get Michael Thomas involved. They did

165
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: take a couple of shots down field to Emmanuel Sanders.

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: One was a long touchdown they ended up getting called

167
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: back because of a penalty. There was another long throw

168
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: where I think Taysom got hit and the ball was

169
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: like really really underthrown, and so that's it looked bad.

170
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: But when you see the replay, you understand why that

171
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the throw ended up the way it did. So on

172
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the whole, I thought he played well. But yeah, I mean,

173
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: in terms of starting Taysom the touchdowns are great, uh,

174
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: in terms of starting his wide receivers or his tied end,

175
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: maybe not so much. So I mean, I gotta ask you.

176
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're still okay though with Alvin Camara, right,

177
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: We're still We're not We're not backing off Camara just yet, right, No, no, no, no,

178
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: absolutely not. And you know, the trade deadline has passed

179
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: for all NFL dot Com standard le So even if

180
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: for some reason you're hitting the panic button on Alvin Cameron,

181
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: which you absolutely shouldn't, you kind of just got a

182
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: rock with what you got for for the rest of

183
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: this remaining NFL season, especially for the fantasy playoffs. But

184
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I do think Alvin Camera is going to be okay

185
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully some and the rest of the team. They

186
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: go back and they watch film, and Sean Payton and

187
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the offensive coordinators show Tasting Hill it

188
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: is okay to pass off the ball to your other

189
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: running backs. You do not need to continue to be

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: the utility player if you're the starting quarterback. That's the end.

191
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what happens. Look, we know that

192
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Breeze is gonna be out for at least a couple

193
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: more weeks. He's on injured reserve, which means he's got

194
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: to miss three games, So it means we have at

195
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: least two more weeks without Breeze. Next week is the Broncos.

196
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: Very curious to see what adjustments the Saints make because certainly,

197
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: now that the Broncos have film they've got taped to

198
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: watch on Taysom Hill, you know they're gonna try and

199
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: adjust to him as well. So it's gonna be interesting.

200
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: But you're still starting Alvin Kamara. Uh. It was nice

201
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: to see Michael Thomas get back, so we have a

202
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: level of confidence in him. Even Immanuel Sanders getting some targets,

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: I think was was something that that was reassuring for

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: the offense. All right. Uh, some bad news yesterday, and

205
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Eddie alluded to it earlier in the show. Joe Burrow

206
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: suffered a season ending knee injury. So the year is

207
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: over for the Broncos quarterback or the Bengals quarterback and

208
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick a. Really just a tough

209
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: way to see his season end. Ryan Finley came in

210
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to take over at her back for Cincinnati after Burrow

211
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: went out with the injury. We're not We're not starting

212
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley. I'm not going to pretend to to tell

213
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: you to start Ryan Finley, but I mean, Canny, we

214
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: had gotten comfortable with Tyler Boyd and T Higgins. Those

215
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: guys have been really producing for us. What do we

216
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: do with them now? This is so tough because we've

217
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: been on this hype train all season long, and also

218
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, I know we've been hyping up Tyler Boyd

219
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: and T Higgins, but A J. Green actually had a

220
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: decent game. A lot of that was when Joe Burrow

221
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: was in at quarterback. He got a touchdown that was actually,

222
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: sadly the last touchdown that Joe brow was going to

223
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: throw this season because of that injury. But in terms

224
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: of what we do now, it's hard, and this is

225
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: where I kind of want to rely on lean on you.

226
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: So the Cincinnati Bengals have the seventh best remaining schedule

227
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: for fantasy wideouts. So on paper, especially when Joe Burrow

228
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: was the starting quarterback, I was gonna rock with Tyler

229
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Boyd and t Higgins till the end. I was like,

230
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: they are going to bring me home a fantasy championship.

231
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: Yester day. We saw once Ryan Finley came and took over,

232
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: he was he was overthrowing the ball, he was under

233
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, he was throwing picks. So I don't

234
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: really know what to do now. As we said, the

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: trade deadline has passed. I don't think we want to

236
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: necessarily fade these guys, but I don't know what my

237
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: level of confidences and Finley actually getting them the ball

238
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: I I In the short term, I'm certainly downgrading both

239
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: of them. I think Tyler Boyd, who had been a

240
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: fringe wide receiver one now becomes a low end wide

241
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: receiver to Tee Higgins is maybe a flex guy. I

242
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: I would consider giving them a shot this week against

243
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: the Giants, just because the matchup is at least a

244
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: little more friendly. They got the Dolphins in two weeks,

245
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: That's when I would probably avoid, So now they become

246
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: much more matchup base. I felt like we could sort

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: of rock with Tyler Boyd and even Higgins in just

248
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: about any situation, regardless of what the matchup is. I

249
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know that I have that same level of confidence

250
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: with Ryan Finley. If if you have the luxury, if

251
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: you have the depth on your roster, maybe you can

252
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: sit out this week and take a wait and see

253
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: attitude with them. But you might not be able to

254
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: do that, in which case you sort of do have

255
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: to kind of uh hope for the best, put them

256
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: in the lineup, hope for the best, try to make

257
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: whatever maneuvers you can, uh and see what you got there.

258
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, it I mean, it stinks obviously for Burrow

259
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: to have him lose the rest of his rookie season

260
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: like this, and hopefully he's able to heal up in

261
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: the off season and come back ready to go for

262
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: next year. But there are also questions about what this

263
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: means for the past catchers. You know, I guess they

264
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: didn't mention. I mean, Geo Bernard, who we know, Joe

265
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Mixon is on I R now too. Uh maybe this

266
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: helps GEO. I mean short, short targets, safe, safe throws

267
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: for your quarterback. Maybe this is good news for GEO.

268
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I just want this to

269
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: be a lesson to the front office for the Bengals.

270
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: Please invest in the better O line and protect that

271
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I think one of the most disheartening and

272
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: heartbreaking things we see in football is where these teams

273
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: go and they get a stud quarterback and then they

274
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: have this rookie season that is just completely riddled with injury.

275
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: It's riddled with with getting sacked and having turnover after

276
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: turnover because they're not properly protected. So please invest in

277
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: a proper old line so then next year we can

278
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: have Joey be actually go out there and be the

279
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: quarterback we know he can be. Early early in that

280
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, Um, we're watching Burrow take hits, and

281
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: he's been taking a lot of hits all year long,

282
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: even before the injury. I had just sort of off

283
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: handedly mentioned to some friends and I I sort of

284
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: hope Burrow doesn't become kind of Andrew Luck two point oh,

285
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: a good, young, talented, promising quarterback who gets beat up

286
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: behind an offensive line, and you know, may end up

287
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: being forced to sort of step away before his time.

288
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: And I hope not. I don't. I don't wish that

289
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: on Burrow. I I like I said, I hope he

290
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: comes back. But your point is taken. Um. You know,

291
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: I think if if anybody learned the lesson of the Colts,

292
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: hopefully it's the Bengals watching what happened to Luck and

293
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: trying to make some adjustments accordingly to protect the guy

294
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: who looks like he can be their franchise quarterback for

295
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: years to come. All right, Sint's spend this to some

296
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: more positive news. Keenan Allen had a huge day for

297
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. They get off the Schneine, they

298
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: in their losing streak, they keep the Jets winless, and

299
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: in fact, they had a hand in making the Jets

300
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: the the first team officially eliminated from playoff contention. So

301
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: congratulations anyway. As for Cheenan, sixteen catches at five yards

302
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Just a phenomenal day if you had

303
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: the Herbert Alan stacked and congratulations to you on your

304
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: week eleven win. But as for Keenan, this is a

305
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: guy that sort of fell down drafts last year because

306
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: nobody really knew what to expect. He's been lights out

307
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert. So would you take him, say, second

308
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: round next year? Oh? He is a top five Fantasy

309
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, like top five, easily top five. I think

310
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of that uncertainty was around the

311
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: uncertainty of the quarterback. It was gonna be Tyrod Taylor

312
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback. We hadn't really seen the connection

313
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: between him and Keelan, Keen and Alan before. We didn't

314
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: know what to expect in this offense. The second Justin

315
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Herbert took over, Keenan Allen exploded. But even before that,

316
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: he's been good and I don't think he got a

317
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of the hype last season in seasons previously, as

318
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: he should. He has had double digit fantasy points in

319
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: every single game this season since Week two. This guy

320
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: is insane. He also tied a franchise record for receptions

321
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: in a single game, and that game yesterday he finished

322
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: with thirty four and a half fantasy points. He's currently

323
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: the Fantasy wide receiver number seven. He's above guys like

324
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Adam Delon, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, A Marii Cooper, Chase Claypool,

325
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, Julio Jones, et cetera, all of these guys

326
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: that he's above. I don't think we we assume that

327
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: he was going to outperform. But this is the new scenario.

328
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: So I think it's within reason for him to be

329
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: an early second round draft pick and he should be

330
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: considered as above a wide receiver number five and fantasy football.

331
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I had talked myself early in the season, are in

332
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the preseas into believing that Keenan Allen could have a

333
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: top twelve sort of fantasy year, and that was under

334
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: the belief that Tyrod Taylor was going to be the

335
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: starter for most of if not all, of the season. Um,

336
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, after the first couple of weeks, I had

337
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: to sort of rethink that because it just it just

338
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: wasn't quite working with Tyrod the way I had hoped.

339
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: And so, you know, Joey Burrow or Joey Burrow, justin Herbert,

340
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: I'll get my rookie quarterbacks right. Justin Herbert stepping in

341
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: has completely changed the way this and but it is

342
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: in a weird way, my my prediction of Keenan Allen

343
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: having a great year has sort of worked out, even

344
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: if the process to getting there wasn't what I thought

345
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: it would be. And I saw a lot yesterday on

346
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Twitter about people saying, hey, you know, we got to

347
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: remember Keenan Allen is a great wide receiver, and I

348
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: don't think people forgot that. I don't think people forgot

349
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: how good he can be. I think it was what

350
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: you said, people just weren't sure who was going to

351
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: be delivering the ball and whether or not that person

352
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: could get the ball, because let's let's think about this,

353
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, justin her it was not thought of in

354
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: the same way exactly as Joe Burrow or to a

355
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: tongue of voloa, like you know, he was kind of

356
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the third in that group, but he was kind of

357
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: a there's a gap between him and the top two.

358
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: So that he's doing what he's doing is definitely a surprise,

359
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise certainly for everybody. Uh. And it is

360
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: definitely a rising tide lifts all boats. This has definitely

361
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: helped lift Keenan Allen's boat quite a bit. And I

362
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: do think that's going to certainly help his draft value

363
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: UH next year. So if you got a discount on

364
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: him this year, enjoy it. It's gone now, it's not

365
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: going to happen. Um, all right, So that's from the good.

366
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the bad with a little bit

367
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: of Week eleven. I'm Salty. We do this, uh every week.

368
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: The first this one is an all quarterback edition of

369
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: I'm Salty. The first one is Alex Smith kimmy, because

370
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: he had nearly four hundred yards uh last week when

371
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: when he made his first start in a couple of years,

372
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: and so we thought, all right, well, he's playing the

373
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: Bengals this week, like it should be welly good. Maybe

374
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: not four yards touchdowns. He threw one touchdown, hundred and

375
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: sixty six passing yards. I was expecting more. Uh, tell

376
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: me why I shouldn't be salty about Alex Smith. I

377
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: mean it was it was a tough game to watch.

378
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't think either of these teams really went out

379
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: and performed incredibly well. But I still wanted to give

380
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Alex Smith some credit, right. I understand he was coming

381
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: off of his career high game in terms of passing

382
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: yards back in Week ten. Then he only threw a

383
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six yards yesterday. But he does have

384
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: a very good matchup against the Dallas Cowboys next week. Uh,

385
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: and then they take on the forty Niners and the Seahawks,

386
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: so the matchups aren't horrible. Then I wanted to dig

387
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper and see, you know, was this

388
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: bad performance from Alex Smith? Is this going to impact

389
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: other fantasy relevant guys on the team? Terry McLaurin was

390
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: still targeted seven times, Jade McKissick, the running back, was

391
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: also involved in the passing gate, he was still targeted

392
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: four times, and then Logan Thomas the tight end, he

393
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: was targeted six times. The targets were there. It just

394
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a good game. So I kind of want to

395
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: back off of any type of Alex Smith hate and

396
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: give them the benefit of the doubt of having an

397
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: off game after only getting his second start on the season,

398
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: and hope he has a bounce back next week against

399
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. That's the Thanksgiving game, to which which

400
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: should be really interesting. Um. I I mean, I'm kind

401
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: of salty about it. I also kind of went back

402
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: and realized they didn't necessarily need him to go out

403
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: and have Banana's numbers yesterday. I mean, the defense was swarming. Uh,

404
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, they Obviously the injury to Burrow change things

405
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: late in that game, but even before that, uh, they

406
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: were just giving that that Cincinnati offense a really hard time. Uh.

407
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson was doing work on the ground, had ninety

408
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: four rushing yards and a touchdown, so so many other

409
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: things were working. It wasn't necessarily important for Alex Smith

410
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: to go out there and have a huge game. But

411
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't stop me from being frustrated that he didn't

412
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: score that many fantasy points. That's the whole point of

413
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: me doing this segment is just to to complain about things.

414
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: So the next one I'm gonna complain about is Matt Ryan,

415
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: and he was not the headliner at quarterback in that game. Obviously,

416
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: all eyes were on Taysom Hill, but I really thought

417
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan was going to get us more than

418
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: six fantasy points. I mean, I know Julio Jones was

419
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: hurt for a good portion of that game. I guess

420
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: he means that much to that offense. How without Julio,

421
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's awful, Huh. I know, isn't this weird.

422
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: It's like we've kind of alluded to it throughout the

423
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: season of like Matt Ryan only plays really well with

424
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Julio's in the game. And it's like, it sounds silly

425
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: to say that, but I think we proved the point yesterday. Now,

426
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: I was one of those dumb people that still kept

427
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan into my fantasy lineup because I really didn't

428
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: have a better option at quarterback. But I learned my

429
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: lesson because I've said this and I'll continue to say it.

430
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: You do not want to ever go up against the

431
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints when you are Atlantis a good football player.

432
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: This is one of the worst viral why I can't

433
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: even talk worst wiblis one of the worst rivalries in

434
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. And and I'm from New Orleans. As word

435
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. My family is in New Orleans. When

436
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I was little, my grandmother and my mother told me

437
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: you never mess with the voodoo and the magic of

438
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans. You should always realize never start Matt Ryan

439
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: against New Orleans Saints. I really just chocolate up to

440
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: this being a really tough matchup, a really hard divisional game,

441
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: in him not having Julio Jones, I think it was

442
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: kind of expected and for anyone who thought he was

443
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: going to go out and have a monster performance. Just

444
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: look at history and see that he's never performed well

445
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Yeah, and part of it, I think

446
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: also that the Saints defense has sort of come back again.

447
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: Uh you know it was it was kind of a

448
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: struggle earlier in the year for them, But the last

449
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: few weeks they have been pretty lights out. I mean,

450
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: they had that huge game against the Buccaneers a couple

451
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, they shut down the forty niners, and

452
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: now they're doing it against the falcon So I think

453
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: we might be trending back toward that situation of maybe

454
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: we think twice about starting people against the New Orleans

455
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: Saints this year. All right, last one Matthew Stafford, and

456
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: we went into the week kind of concerned because he

457
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: had a thumb injury. But then the Lions said, well,

458
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: he's gonna go and he has no limitations and everything's

459
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. So we thought, all right, well, maybe

460
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Stafford would be okay. I know the Panther's past defense

461
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: has been pretty good, but I still expected a little

462
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: bit more out of matt Stafford than we got. But

463
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: maybe we should have just maybe we should have just

464
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: known because of the thumb issue I mean, I really

465
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of high expectations for Stafford because one,

466
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: like you said, this was a little bit of a

467
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: tough matchup against the pay up. There's we understand that

468
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with an injury, but then you also

469
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: have to look at what what the team around him

470
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: was dealing with. There was no DeAndre Swift, he was

471
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: out with a concussion, Kenny Golladay he has a hip injury,

472
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: Danny A. Mendola also has a hip injury, and and

473
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: they just weren't able to exploit or take advantage of

474
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: any of their other you know, past catchers or people

475
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: on the field. So this one's not a huge surprise

476
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: for me. I think a lot of people probably faded

477
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and had him on the bench since he

478
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: was questionable before starting on Sunday. So sadly, just no

479
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: big surprise here, even though we can still be salty

480
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and complain, because that is the whole theme of the segment.

481
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: Not not too shocking, that's it. I mean, I know

482
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: we're trying to put like actual logic in analysis in here,

483
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: but in the end, we're just we're just salty. That's

484
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: all there is. One thing we're less talk to you

485
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: about is DraftKings. Today's show is sponsored as always by

00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: castrol Edge. Every Monday, we do check marks the spot.

493
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: We think three players who usually had a pretty good

494
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: day on Sunday and talk about whether or not we

495
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: think this is something that is real, if we can

496
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: believe it or not. The Mere Bird, after we had

497
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: spent you know, a week talking about Jacoby Myers and

498
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: and how he looked like the number one receiver there

499
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: in New England, it was the mere Bird who had

500
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: the big day for the Patriot against the Houston Texans.

501
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: So is this a flash in the pan or should

502
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: we really be paying attention to Bird right now? The

503
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: law firm was fired. They're done with Jacobean Markets now.

504
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: This was interesting because he finished with just over twenty

505
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: six fantasy points. He had a career high and receiving

506
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: yards a hundred and thirty two yards. He also had

507
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: an eleven yard Carrie. Now this is interesting because he

508
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: put up zero points. He put up a donut back

509
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: in week ten. If you look at the schedule next

510
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: to Patriots go on, and they faced Kyler Murray in

511
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, and Cam Newton is going to have

512
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: to throw the ball to stay competitive with Kyler Murray

513
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: and that incredible offense that they have. So I feel

514
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: as if we could probably kind of rely on Demir Bird,

515
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: but also still understand that Jacos is still there as well,

516
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: and that Cam Newton is going to have to spread

517
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: the ball. So I feel like I do have a

518
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: little bit more confidence in Bird. What we saw yesterday

519
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: from Demir Bird was obviously sort of on the extreme

520
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: end of its setting career highs in receiving yards and

521
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: fantasy points. But if you've been kind of paying attention

522
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: to the Patriots passing game, as uneven as it's been

523
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: this year, Bird has very quietly put together kind of

524
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: a nice season. He was the guy that early on

525
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton was going to consistently. I mean, he does

526
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: leave the team and targets. This year he leads actually

527
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: second in receptions. So yeah, the signs pointing toward him

528
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: being a go to guy. We're certainly there, maybe not

529
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: to this extreme. I think really what it comes down

530
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: to is that they've got two receivers there in Bird

531
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: and Myers, who on any given week, either one of

532
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: them could go off and be the guy. And I

533
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know yet that the Patriots or Cam Newton have

534
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: settled on one. So if you need wide receiver help,

535
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: I think one or both is good to have on

536
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: your roster, uh and play the matchups with. So I

537
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: guess I guess that's a long way of saying I'm

538
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: sort of believing it. I don't necessarily think he's a

539
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: go to weekly guy obviously, but I do think if

540
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: you if you need help with the position, then you know,

541
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: the mere Bird is not a bad option to go.

542
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: And look at um Dallas Goddard, who has I guess,

543
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: kind of become the tight end of record in Philadelphia,

544
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: as much as there is such a thing. I mean,

545
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: we haven't seen zach Or in a couple of months.

546
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: Richard Rodgers did have a touchdown, but Dallas Goddard looks

547
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: like the prime tight end there. So I mean five

548
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: for seventy seven and a touchdown doesn't seem like a lot.

549
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: But in our our very thin tight end world, that's

550
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: good enough to be a top five tighten each and

551
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: every week. So are we are we back buying into

552
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard. I think we have to because he's probably

553
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: one of the most consistent pass catchers that Carson Wentz has.

554
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: Now he did leave the team in catches and receiving

555
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: yards while finishing second with targets. He now has had

556
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: nine receptions over his last two games, and I think

557
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to emerge as the main pass

558
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: catcher in this offense, especially against the Seattle Seahawks on

559
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. That is such a tough matchup. Like

560
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: I said in the in the in the previous one

561
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton going up against the Cardinals, if they

562
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: want to stay competitive going up against the Seahawks, they

563
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: are going to have to throw the ball because otherwise Russ,

564
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: who has been cooking all season long, is just going

565
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: to completely stomp over them. So I feel like Dallas

566
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Goddard maybe the best past catching option. So yes, I

567
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: think we can completely buy into him being a high end,

568
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: middle range tight end. That that Eagles offense is kind

569
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: of a mess right now. I watched that game yesterday too,

570
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: and and you know, they struggle to protect Carson Wentz.

571
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: He's making bad decisions. They just having are having trouble

572
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: getting the ball out consistently. But Dallas Goddard does look

573
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: sort of like the best option when they are able

574
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: to throw the football there, So maybe he was the

575
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: one to kind of lean on he and I still

576
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: buy into Jalen Reagor, but Dallas Goddard might end up

577
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: being kind of the number one option in that passing

578
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: game going forwards. Fulgum just side note, is vanished the

579
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and I have no real exploit,

580
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: I have no real EXE. But he's got from Fulghum

581
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: to full gone, Like I don't know where he is

582
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: and I can't explain what has happened to him, So

583
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. Anyway, we want you to tell us which

584
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: one of these guys you believe in the most going forward.

585
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,240

Speaker 1: of these three guys from Week eleven, and that was

589
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: performance Ready presented by Castrole Edge have to say in

Speaker 1: com slash Pro Bowl Vote. Trying to take a look

596
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire four Week twelve. Not gonna lie

597
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: to you. It is not particularly a great list. Quarterbacks

598
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Philip Rivers running back right gore over to

599
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: the wide receivers Michael Pittman and Nelson Aghalord the Mere

600
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: Bird all on the list. I think streaming defenses if

601
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: you are so inclined. This week, the Browns, the Giants,

602
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks all worthwhile did not include Taysom Hill

603
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: on this list or Dallas Goddard at this point, Uh,

604
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: we sort of you know, if you need help, you

605
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: understand those guys are out there. Um, as much as

606
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: we've talked about Taysom Hill, feel like people kind of understand.

607
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: Look if he's out there go get him, go pick

608
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: him up. Didn't feel the need to include him on

609
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: this list here, but let's talk about a couple of

610
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: those names. One Derek Carr, and I know you joked

611
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: about sort of being the Derek Carr evil Stare meme.

612
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: I immediately thought of Anthony Perkins at the end of

613
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: the original Psycho when I saw that death stare the

614
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: car was giving from the bench. But all things considered,

615
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: and maybe we haven't talked about it enough, Derek Carr

616
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: has played some really good football over the last month

617
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: or so, and I think it's about time we start

618
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: recognizing that in fantasy games. Got to recognize the game.

619
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: Even though we are divisional rivals. I have to give

620
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: him his respect. He had two seventy passing yards, three

621
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. He did have an interception, but that was

622
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter when they were just trying

623
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: to play catch up and score against the Chiefs. He

624
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: finished with just over twenty one fantasy points. I think

625
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: a huge thing that's so impressive with Derek Carr this

626
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: season is that he's also made so many guys on

627
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: that team fantasy relevant as well. We know that there's

628
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs, Darren Waller, Nelson Aghaloor, Hunter renfro Obviously, he

629
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: has his running back Josh Jacobs as well. They have

630
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: one of the most favorable schedules in the NFL for

631
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: the remainder of this season. So if you really are

632
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: looking for a streaming option at quarterback, especially if you

633
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: had a guy like Joe Burrow who is now out

634
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, Derek Carr is an

635
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: actual contender, and I gotta put some respect on his name.

636
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, you've been balled out, bro, So it's a

637
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: good job. Yeah, he's been playing some really good football

638
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: this year, So props to him. I mean, John Gruden

639
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: has got that team going offensively. Look the fact that

640
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: Nelson Aghalore, I mean, I know people still throw out

641
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: the gift and throw out the meme or what have you,

642
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: but he really isn't the punch line. He is playing

643
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: legitimately good football, and some of that is thanks to

644
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: the head coach, some of that is thanks to the quarterback.

645
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: And so Derek Carr is definitely worth a look this week.

646
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: By the way, part of what I didn't mention, part

647
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: of what makes this a tough week for the waiver

648
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: wire is that there are no buys, so you should have,

649
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, without injuries, injuries notwithstanding your full complement of

650
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: players this week. So it's a little bit tougher to

651
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of go on the waiver wire and find guys

652
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: to pick up because you know it's gonna be hard

653
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: to find guys that are probably better than who's on

654
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: your roster. Another name worth mentioning is Michael Pittman, And

655
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: about a month ago, I said, I want to know

656
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: parts of this Colt's passing game. Things have sort of

657
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: changed a little bit. Michael Pittman the last few weeks

658
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: has really started to come to life. They're starting to

659
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: get him more involved. He's scar in his first NFL

660
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: touchdown on Sunday, so it looks like there's some life there. Um, Jimmy,

661
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that he's

662
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: in every week starter, but Michael Pittman is looks like

663
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of juice right now. I

664
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: mean he's got some juice. He's had back to back

665
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: fifteen plus Fantasy point performances. He had over a hundred

666
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: yards back in Week ten, he had sixty six yards

667
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: and his very first touchdown this week in week eleven,

668
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: so I think, I mean we have to speaking of

669
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: giving Derek Carr his credit, we gotta give Michael Pittman

670
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: his credit as well. However, like you said, I don't

671
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: think we're going out there and dumping our chest to

672
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: say he's an every week starter, because the Colts do

673
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: face a very tough playoff schedule against defense is allowing

674
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: some of the fewest points to wide receivers. But for now,

675
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: we've got to give the man credit where it's due,

676
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: and he's been balling out. I mean, if I had

677
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: my wide receivers putting it up over fifteen Fantasy points

678
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: week to week, I would be happy. But my guys

679
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: just fail me every time and then my bench up

680
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: scores them. But that's me just having a mini grant.

681
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: But this is about Michael Pittman Jr. And he's doing well.

682
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: I am, I am. I'm excited about this on a

683
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: couple of levels. I mean, one because you know, fight on,

684
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm always excited to see Trojans do well in the NFL.

685
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: But the other part is I did think in this

686
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: rookie class of wide receivers that that Pittman, Yeah, while

687
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: he was maybe on the second tier of guys. I mean,

688
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, we weren't talking about him the

689
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: way we talked about you know, say lamb or or

690
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: Judy or or you know, Justin Jefferson, anybody like that.

691
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: But he was kind of a group of guys that

692
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: I thought would start to pick things up at some

693
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: point during the season. So I'm glad to see that there.

694
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Because man, wide receivers deep, but I don't think we

695
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: can ever have too many of them, So that's been

696
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: sort of exciting. Uh, if you have the top waiver

697
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: priority this week, where are you going with it? Well,

698
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 1: you just said it speaking of wide receivers, you can

699
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: never have too many. So I'm gonna rock with a rival.

700
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and go pick up Nelson agail Or.

701
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: He finished many fantasy points against my Chiefs last night. No,

702
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: I know, we make fun of him so much, and

703
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: it's sad. We need to move past that. It's like

704
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: us making fun of Rank for that horrible call where

705
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: he predicted that the forty Niners were gonna suck and

706
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: then they went on to go to the Super Bowl.

707
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: But Nelson Aghilor, he caught six of his nine targets

708
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: for eighty eight yards and a touchdown. He led all

709
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers on that Las Vegas Raider team in terms

710
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: of targets and as in terms of out snapping everyone else.

711
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: He's had a touchdown in six games this season. I

712
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: think the consistency is there. We're just hyping up Derek

713
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: Carrent saying that he's playing so well. They have such

714
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: a favorable remaining schedule. So Nelson Aghil or come on

715
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: over to Kimmy Checks fantasy squad. Let's go try to

716
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: win a championship in really is the point. We we

717
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: have to stop making fun of him. He's playing really

718
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: well this year, and so I do think he's gonna

719
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: be a very popular ad off the waiver wire this week.

720
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna j K Dobbins, and we talked about him

721
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: in the last segment, so I'm not going to dive

722
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: too much into that one, but just sort of, you know, one,

723
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: we're always thirsty for running backs, running backs and tight ends.

724
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: We are always thirsty for quality at those positions, and

725
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: so on the hope that maybe the Ravens have seen

726
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: the light, have turned the corner and want to give

727
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: Dobbins some more opportunities. Look, he's out there in a

728
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of leads. I know people have been frustrated. I

729
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: said last week, and I'll own it. I said last

730
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: week that's probably time to drop J K. Dobbins. On

731
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: National Unfriending Day, I said it was time to unfriend him.

732
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: So I will sort of walk that back after what

733
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: I saw on Sunday and say that, all right, if

734
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: you if you didn't drop him, hold onto him. If

735
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: he's out there in your league, maybe go get him,

736
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: because let's just let's just go on the belief that

737
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: what we saw on Sunday is going to be what

738
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: the case is going forward, and if it doesn't work out,

739
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: then we can always put him back on the waiver wire,

740
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: all right. So those are your waiver wire picks four

741
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: week twelve. Happy hunting out there as you get ready

742
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,040

758
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: off the cliff. Let's all do it together. Anyway, some

759
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: guys who came through on Sunday after kind of leaving

760
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: us in the lurch for most of the season, and

761
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: so we're gonna ask whether or not we're cool now

762
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: with some of these guys, the first one being Michael Thomas,

763
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: and we talked about it at the top of the

764
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: show Kimmy with Taysom Hill coming in. Thomas had ninety

765
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: receiving yards total coming into the game. He went over

766
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: a hundred yards on Sunday. So are we cool now?

767
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: We're so cool. I don't know if you remember Marcus

768
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: put on NFL Fantasy game day, we asked, who's gonna

769
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: have a bigger bounce back. It's gonna be Willfuler, Michael Thomas.

770
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: I stomped my fetus, and it's gonna be Michael Thomas.

771
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm right, and I was right. He finished with just

772
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: under Twitter Fantasy points. Like you said, He's secured nine

773
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: of twelve targets for a hundred and four receiving yards

774
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: in that huge win over the Atlanta Falcons. Now we

775
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: alluded to it earlier when we were talking about Taysom Hill.

776
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if this can I can't even talk

777
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: because I'm so excited. I do not know if this

778
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: can sustain for the rest of the season with Taysom

779
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: Hill under center. But for now we are so cool.

780
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, thank you for po with me right and

781
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: saying that you were going to have a way bigger

782
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: bounce back than will Fuller. Now Marcus has a smile

783
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: and eat his words because him and rank went against me.

784
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: I will I I was wrong on that one, because

785
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: will Fuller had a frustrating, disappointed day and Michael Thomas

786
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: looked sort of like the Michael Thomas that you probably

787
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: spent a high first round draft pick on and so

788
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I did think there was a chance that Thomas could

789
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: get some targets. Certainly I didn't think he'd have a

790
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: number like he did, but I felt like the Saints

791
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: would want to give Taysom Hill some easier throws, and

792
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: that usually means running Michael Thomas. I mean, he's good

793
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: for those slants, those those throws across the middle of

794
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: the field to help the quarterback. And I think we

795
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of that on Sunday. So yeah,

796
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: that makes me feel better, and that makes me feel

797
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: like the Saints will work to get him the football, uh,

798
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: and that he can be okay about it all right.

799
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, who put together a good game for the

800
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: first time in a while. I got your fifteen fantasy points.

801
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Didn't get in the end zone, but did quite a

802
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: bit and sort of like we talked about with J. K.

803
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: Dobbins getting a lot of work, Taylor got a lot

804
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: of work. So are we cool now? With J T. Marcus.

805
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of talking about Jonathan Taylor in the

806
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: back field because we just don't know where the consistency is. Yes,

807
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: he rushed the ball for twenty two times for nine

808
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: d yards against the Packers. He also had four receptions

809
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: for twenty four yards that got him just over fifteen

810
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: fantasy points. But I I literally do not know what

811
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: to do on this backfield. I went and I picked

812
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: up the hem Himes. I'm like, oh, yeah, finally he's

813
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: he's a little lead back. I know that I'm going

814
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: to score points. You know, this running back game is

815
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot better for me. And then he

816
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: does this, so I don't know, we're not cool. I

817
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: just I'm not cool with anybody on the Colts running

818
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: running side of the ball. I'm I'm speechless. I literally

819
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: do not know what to do with the situation. I

820
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: think I'm still cool with Niheam Hines, but I need

821
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: to see more from Jonathan Taylor before we're just like

822
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: totally you know, kicking it, you know at the barbecue

823
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: or whatever, at the cook out together. Uh, you know,

824
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: I it was not used to me. You know, he

825
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: showed up and and he brought some Hawaiian roles or whatever.

826
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: But I need a little bit more than that before

827
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: we're just boys again. So I appreciate what he did,

828
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm not yet fully back on board. I need to

829
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: see something else, We'll see what happens next week within

830
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: Indianapolis backfield before I make a final determination. Um, this

831
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: was probably a better question for Adam Rank, but I'm

832
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: asking you here with you d J Moore, who yesterday

833
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: before the game started, Rank tweeted that he was benching

834
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: DJ Moore and I quote tweeted it and said, twenty

835
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: points in coming, And uh, that's pretty much what happens.

836
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: Twenty one point fancy points for DJ Moore sitting on

837
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: Adam Rank's bench. I know it's been a roller coaster

838
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: for him this year. Um, but after what we saw

839
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: with p J Walker at quarterback, are we cool now? Kay?

840
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: Walker had quite the good, uh chemistry. I'm like, I

841
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: can't even think of the work because I'm so excited

842
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: about this. Yeah. So this was DJ wears a second

843
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: a hundred plus receiving yard effort. He had nineteen Fantasy

844
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: points back in week ten. He had twenty one this

845
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: week in week eleven. I think it goes to show

846
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: that you can't you know, you can't sleep on DJ Moore.

847
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: I thought we we said that Curtis Samuel was probably

848
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: the safest receiving option and we were going to fade

849
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: DJ Moore and Robby Anderson because we were unsure what

850
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: would happen with p J. Walker, But he he went

851
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: on and showed that they do have the chemistry, they

852
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: have a good relationship, and he should be considered a

853
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: weekly starter depending on that matchup. So d J. Moore,

854
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: we are so cool. You can bring me some Hawaiian roles,

855
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: I'll eat them. I think I'm mostly cool with d J. Moore.

856
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: I know that he has been frustrating to people who

857
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: have him on the roster. They haven't figured out when

858
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: to start him, when to sit him. But for the

859
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: most part, I think he's been okay, and after what

860
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: was he had a rough start to the season. I

861
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: don't think there's any way around that, but he started

862
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: to pick things up later and and I think I'm

863
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: okay with starting him more often than not. So what

864
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday was great because I didn't really expect

865
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: it because I didn't know what to expect with Walker

866
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: at quarterback. But but I think we're cool. I think

867
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: the game where you and I are cool. Chritis Samuel,

868
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: whatever your touchdown celebration was, I'm not cool with that

869
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: because I don't know what it was. It was like

870
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: it's like he was playing a video game and through

871
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: a temper tantrum because he lost or something. I don't follow. So, uh,

872
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: that part I'm not cool with because I just don't

873
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: get it. But whatever, Um, last one, Mark Andrews, who

874
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: we have been frustrated with. You can't drop in because

875
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: we need tight ends in the worst way and to

876
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: put a guy like Mark Andrews out on the waiver

877
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: wire is just foolish. But he also hadn't been living

878
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: up to what you had expected from him, but he

879
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: did on Sunday finally had his first big game in

880
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: about a month or so. So does this mean we're

881
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: cool with Mark Andrews? Now? I think we we expected

882
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: that this was going to happen. We understood that he

883
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: was having a little bit of a downer for the

884
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: last four weeks and then he was gonna be able

885
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: to pick it back up because if the Ravens want

886
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: to win games, they have to use Mark Andrews. We

887
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: know that he has a connection with Lamark Jackson. Think

888
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: thinking back to last season, that was probably one of

889
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: his favorite pass catchers. This was his third twenty plus

890
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: fantasy point performance on the season. We are so cool

891
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: he finally got a share of the end zone. So yeah,

892
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: as you said, obviously no one was putting Mark Andrews

893
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: out on the waiver wire or dropping him, but now

894
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: we should feel a little bit more confidence having him

895
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: in our starting tight end spot. I'm I'm cool with

896
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, uh, just because again we need tight ends

897
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: and we know that Andrews is gonna get his targets.

898
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: We know he's gonna get his opportunities. So I am

899
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm willing to sort of let bygones be bygones. It's

900
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: been frustrating, no no doubt about it. I would have

901
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: expected more from him on a consistent basis, But in

902
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: the end, he's still the tight end three right now,

903
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: and I know that probably speaks more to the state

904
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: of the position than it does necessarily to anything that

905
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: Andrews has done. But all that being said, I'm willing

906
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: to I'm willing to hug it out and we can,

907
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, we can. We can let it go and

908
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be fine again. So I don't go.

909
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: We're trying to make amends, we're trying to make up

910
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: with people, were trying to forge bonds here on the show.

911
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: This is what we do. Chances are good if you

912
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: are watching this show that you have downloaded the NFL

913
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy App and you are playing NFL Fantasy Football on it.

914
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: But if you haven't, you can still download it. There

915
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: are reasons to do that, namely because you can watch

916
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: games live on the app. It's fantastic. You can even

917
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: watch tonight's Monday Night football game between the Rams and

918
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Just open up the app. There's a little

919
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: thing in the top corner and says live. You click

920
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: on it and boom, you have football on your phone.

921
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: It's great. I will tell you that, as a father

922
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: who has to give his kid a bath, I can

923
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: watch the game and give the kid a bath and

924
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: do everything at once. It's wonderful. So I advocate, please, please, please,

925
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: uh download the NFL Fantasy App. All right, Speaking of

926
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, it is the final game of Week eleven,

927
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a

928
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: quarterback rematch from the Super Bowl a couple of years

929
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: ago when it was at the time Rams and Patriots.

930
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: So Jerry Goff and Tom Brady will lock horns once again.

931
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: Let's start there with the Rams wide receivers h Cooper Cup,

932
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Robert Woods. If you had to pick one who's going

933
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: to score more Fantasy points tonight, it would be I

934
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: think Cooper Cup. Robert Woods had such a good matchup

935
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks and he really didn't manage to

936
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: do anything. I think Cooper Cup can do a lot

937
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: more in the slot. And the Buccaneers are middle of

938
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: the pack against wide receivers. So I've had a rock

939
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: with one. I want to say Cooper Cup, but both

940
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: of these guys had burned me, so what do I know.

941
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: It's honest they toss up at this point. Uh, they

942
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: have both been frustrating at times. I'm gonna go the

943
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: other way and go with Robert Woods in this one

944
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: just because one fight on but also because I just

945
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: find I think they have more creative ways to get

946
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: him the football. They like to get him to him

947
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: as a runner occasionally as well they're trying to throw

948
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: him the football. But as you mentioned, the Buccaneers sort

949
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: of middle of the pack when it comes to stopping

950
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: fantasy wide receivers. I will say I don't necessarily expect

951
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: a huge game out of either one of them. Um,

952
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, if one of them can score a touchdown,

953
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: that will help their numbers considerably, but otherwise I think

954
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get kind of mediocre numbers out of both

955
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: Cup and Woods. In this one, um we talked about

956
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: frustrating running back situations. The Rams are near the top

957
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: of that list. There was a report from Jordan Roger

958
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: Boy and The Athletic recently that we could see more

959
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: cam Akers, that they may start working the rookie in

960
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: more and I guess this fits with the theme of

961
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: the week. Right. We talked about more j K. Dobbins,

962
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: We saw some more Jonathan Taylor, So will we see

963
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: more Cam Akers tonight? Well? As sports that it has

964
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: to be true, We've seen that in all of sports.

965
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: Just like when it was reported that Jamis was going

966
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,959
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback, I do. I do think

967
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: that since cam Akers is back to being fully healthy,

968
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: well we will see more of him. I still do

969
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: believe that Malcolm Brown is going to lead the pack

970
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: and be the lead back, but like you said, I

971
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: could see him getting some more usage in that offense.

972
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: I say that if you wanted to rock with either

973
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: or if you wanted to rock with someone in this backfield,

974
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: especially in a daily format, I would go with Malcolm

975
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: Brown or cam Akers. I think I would fade Darrell

976
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: Henderson because it's just way too crowded for me. But

977
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: let's hope we do see more of the rookie and

978
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: he can ball up tonight. The Yeah, I do think

979
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna see more cam Akers. And I think what

980
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: you alluded to is that the big loser in this

981
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: probably is Darryl Henderson. He was the guy getting a

982
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of the work between the twenties. It was Malcolm

983
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: Brown down near the gold line, So he is the

984
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: guy that retains I think a lot of his value

985
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: as long as that role holds for him. But if

986
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,479
Speaker 1: we start seeing more cam Akers, I think it's gonna

987
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: come at Darrell Henderson's expense um, which free sort of

988
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: makes them both functionally unusable in fantasy. If they're going

989
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: to sort of eat off each other's plates and neither

990
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: one of them is going to get looks near the

991
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: end zone, then they both become sort of frustrating propositions.

992
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: So what I would like to say, No, we're not

993
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: going to see more cam Akers and we can keep

994
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: rolling with Darrell Henderson. I don't believe that that is

995
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 1: actually the truth. Um, all right, appare good defenses, though

996
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: in this matchup we talked a lot about the Bucks.

997
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: The Rams certainly a very good defense. If you're playing

998
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: daily fantasy and you have to pick between one of

999
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: these or even look, there is a league. I have

1000
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: a league where I have both the Buccaneers and Rams defenses,

1001
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: and I sort of fiddle the back and forth on

1002
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: what to do. Which one of these would you lean towards.

1003
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: I think you're like asking for a friend, A hey me.

1004
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna rock with the Tampa Bay defense

1005
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: today just because home field advantage. I truly do think

1006
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 1: that's a thing we're talking and alluding to that earlier

1007
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: when I was talking about the Saints and the Facons

1008
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: having that tough matchup. But I want to rock with

1009
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: the Bucks. They their defense has had more sacks, more

1010
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: interceptions for spumbles, touchdowns, and safeties this season, So home

1011
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: field advantage, home game. I say, you rock with the

1012
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I think I have Tampa Bay in there,

1013
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: and I have it partially because I feel like if

1014
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: of the two quarterbacks, the one that's more likely to

1015
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: get rattled and make mistakes is going to be Jared

1016
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: Goff versus Tom Brady. I mean, look, Brady is not

1017
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: He's not the same guy he was five years ago.

1018
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: But he's still pretty good. And even if you bring pressure,

1019
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: he'll find a way to move around in the pocket

1020
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: and find his open receivers. We've seen when Jared Goff

1021
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: gets pressure in his face that he can become rattled.

1022
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: He can make some bad throws, he will be stripped

1023
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: of the football occasionally when he is sacked. I just

1024
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: think he's the guy who's more prone to mistakes. That

1025
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: is what has led me to to kind of ride

1026
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay defense in this one. All right,

1027
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: last one, you wanna talk about a committee situation? The

1028
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: Bucks wide receivers were still sort of sorting through. It

1029
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: has become a weekly question. So I'll ask it again.

1030
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: Which Bucks wide receiver do you think has the most

1031
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: fantasy value tonight? What is up with all these committees?

1032
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Can we just get rid of it? Can we just

1033
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: have one guy be the main guy? Please? But if

1034
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: I had to put money on someone, maybe Mike Evans

1035
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: because he is leading the team in targets while coming

1036
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: in second in terms of receiving yards. He scored eight

1037
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns this season. I feel like the consistency is better

1038
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: for that. Plus, I do have a weird feeling that

1039
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is probably going to look to lock down

1040
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, even though it could be a split between

1041
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: locking down Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. But I think

1042
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap with Mike Evans tonight. But again, it's

1043
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: a committee, so every time I pick one guy, it's

1044
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: the opposite one. So I don't know. I mean, what

1045
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: we saw last week was that all three of those

1046
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: guys could be productive. But that's also when the Bucks

1047
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 1: went out and scored forty six points in a game.

1048
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bucks are gonna score forty six

1049
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: points against this Rams defense, so that that sort of

1050
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: makes it a different situation. Look, I've been riding with

1051
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin all year. I'm gonna stay with that. Um,

1052
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: But it really is it is spin the wheel of

1053
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: Buccaneers wide receivers, So you never really know. I'm gonna

1054
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: take Godwin. I think it could be Evans, it could

1055
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: very well be Antonio Brown. Um, how about this, I

1056
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: will say it's a guy that does not have to

1057
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: spend the majority of his snaps staring at Jalen Ramsey.

1058
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: That will be the Buccaneers wide receiver. I think you're

1059
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: scoring the most boys. Yeah, you know, this is why

1060
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: they pay me the medium sized bucks. That's that's how

1061
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: this works around here. All right, that is it. We

1062
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL

1063
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show presented by Draft Kings. You know the drill.

1064
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: Tell you friends to tell us you friends rate review

1065
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,719

00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: and we will see you on Wednesday. I'm don't coming.

1068
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm don't come.
