1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Wow, it's Friday, which makes it side For another edition

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: of the Stardom Sidham Show. I am Marcus Grant, joined

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: by Michael F. Florio, who writes the Start sid column.

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: You can see it every week at NFL dot com

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: slash Start Sit. I gotta Is it harder or easier

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: to write this column.

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: In the fantasy playoffs depends how you look at it. One,

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: there's more pressure to be right because look, if I

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: get something wrong in week six, I always want to

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: be right and help your fantasy teams. But if you

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: get to something wrong in week six, it's like, all right,

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: you live to see another day. You get something wrong

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: in the fantasy playoffs, you're casting someone their season.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: But also I kinda I don't try to get as

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: spicy with the sis because of that, So it makes

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: it a little bit easier.

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that.

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Like it's it's easier to take those big swings in

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the season as opposed to now, where

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: like as you mentioned, everything's a little bit more.

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: The stakes are higher, for sure.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure they always are, always have been.

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: Make sure you throw your dms.

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Also joy by Lakwan Jones, who does not right to

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: start column, but he drinks a lot of Cranberry jews,

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: and we feel like that's worthy enough to get him

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: on the show here. So let's uh, let's start Floria

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: with your quarterbacks. Who are your starts and sits for

30
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: I have Jayden Daniels, who has been red hot as

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: of late. It's funny, he's ribs healed and he's back

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: to looking like an elite fantasy quarterback.

34
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: He's a start against the Saints.

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray has been very up or down, but the

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: Patriots have struggled against the pass as of late and

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: have allowed some big fantasy days. Anthony Richardson ran all

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: over them, so I have him as a start. I

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: disagree with Lakwan who yesterday said he has Jared Goff

40
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: as a sit. I have him as a start because

41
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: I expect a lot of points in this and I

42
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: think the Bills are gonna sell out to try to

43
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: stop the run, which will open things up for the

44
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: receivers a bit. And then I have Justin Herbert as

45
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: a start this week because the Bucks have outside of

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Tommy and AOC, every quarterback has torched them and in

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: my CITs CJ. Stroud like, we don't have a must

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: sit graphic on Fantasy Live, but I wrote in the

49
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: whole way that this guy is a must sit option

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: because I don't see any way you could start him.

51
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: I have Russell Wilson as a sit who it looks

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: like he'll be without George Pickens in a tough matchup

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: against the Eagles.

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Gino Smith.

55
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: He leads the league in a whole bunch of passing categories,

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: it's not leading the fantasy success. Here's just three games

57
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: this year with over eighteen fantasy points and then Kirk Cousins.

58
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: You couldn't pay me to start Kirk Cousins in the

59
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: fantasy playoffs.

60
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't because I don't really have that

61
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: much money. But I'm sure somebody out there could find

62
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: enough money to pay you. All right, Steve Cohen would

63
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: give me enough money to start him.

64
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: There you go.

65
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: But would you get your own suite at City Field?

66
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: That's the guy I would request it, all right, there

67
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you go? Alright, as we look at these quarterbacks here,

68
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, Kenner Murray has been just sort of meh

69
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: this season. I know Floria likes him as a start.

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Do we believe is this week he turns it up

71
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: when you need it the most.

72
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: Uh Yeah, I think this is a good week for

73
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: Michael Wilson, you know. And I think this is maybe

74
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 5: a good week for James Connor to get involved out

75
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 5: of that backfield that in the passion game, I'm a

76
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: little worried about Marvin Harrison. I think that's where a

77
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 5: lot of people, you know, put their weight on Kyler Murray.

78
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: But I think Kyler Murray's still threatened with his legs

79
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: and the matchup against the Patriots is an upward matchup

80
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: for him to have like a solid floor fantasy point,

81
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: so I feel confident about starting them. I'm starting him

82
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 5: in my home league, you know, in my in my

83
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 5: first round in the playoffs, So I like, I like

84
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: him as a start this week.

85
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 4: All right.

86
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: So we're in on Kyler Murray this week against the

87
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. That's uh, you know again, I know

88
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: he's he has not provided the production that I think

89
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: a lot of us hoped for. All that being said,

90
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: he's still a top ten fantasy quarterback this year. It

91
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: just it just hasn't quite happened the way we wanted to.

92
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Moving on to the running backs, though, Who's up, Who's down?

93
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: This week?

94
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Florio a lot of Cardinals this week. I think James

95
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Connor is a mustard option. He is so much guaranteed

96
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: volume each week, and he has a good matchup against

97
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

98
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: I think Truba Hubbard remain.

99
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: Look, it's awful what happened to Jonathan Brooks, and it

100
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: pains all of us, I would say, but the benefit

101
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: for fantasy, the winner is Truba Hubbard here and it's

102
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: a great matchup against the Cowboys. Aaron Jones went off

103
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: against the Bears last time and since we ten, the

104
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Bears have allowed the most rushing yards. They allow a

105
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: lot of explosive runs. All of that to running backs. Look,

106
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: we've spent a lot of time this week talking Rico

107
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: Daddle on like every show we do, so Rico, we're really.

108
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: Gonna need you to have a good game.

109
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 2: And then yeah, the sis DeAndre Swift because the Vikings

110
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: are really tough against the run. DeAndre Swift has really

111
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: struggled as of late, and he got held in check

112
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: by them a couple of weeks ago. The Steelers running backs.

113
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: I spoke about this on yesterday's pod. But the Eagles

114
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: are really tough run defense. They could score points, so

115
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: it could be a game where the Steelers have to throw.

116
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: More h and then I don't see any way.

117
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: They're just names right now to me, Travis Etn and

118
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb, Like, I don't see any way you could

119
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: start either one of them. With the fantasy season online.

120
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: Travis Etn has fully lost his job to Tank Bigsby.

121
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: For by the way, I mean, I was gonna say,

122
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, LaQuan, what wtf happened with Travis Etn? Right, Like, Okay,

123
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: look he was he was running back three last year.

124
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I think we can all be like, all right, I

125
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: think that that probably was gonna happen again, but just

126
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: to fall completely off a cliff. I don't think any

127
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: of us saw that one coming either.

128
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if he's healthy or not. Like it looks

129
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 5: like he just completely lost confidence in that backfield. Then

130
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: Tank Bigsby, you know.

131
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: How the roles switched.

132
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 5: It's crazy because last year, you know, Tank Bisby lost

133
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: his confidence, you know, but this year is the bounce

134
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: back of the talent that they saw in him. And

135
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: it's like Travis Etn has not been in starting lineups

136
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 5: for a very long time for your boy, Like I

137
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 5: forgot he even played football, that's how bad it's been.

138
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: So it's like Tank Bitsby has fully taken over, and

139
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: like even heading into next year, it's kind of insane

140
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 5: that we took Travis Etn in the first three rounds

141
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 5: in some drafts and it's like Tank Bisby might be

142
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: taking that spot.

143
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: I just I'm imagining Lakwan watching football on Sundays and

144
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: being like Travis eat in twenty twenty four.

145
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 5: What it's kind of like you realize that Mike Williams

146
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: plays for the Steelers, like randomly just thinking like, oh,

147
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 5: yeah he does.

148
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: But that that's what I see.

149
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: The other one that I've really enjoyed the last couple

150
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: of weeks is just like watching scrolling on social media

151
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and like having the random person every few plays being like, wait,

152
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony's with the Browns. Like that's been a thing

153
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: for cause not anymore, not anymore, but like I did it.

154
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: I did it.

155
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: I've seen several other people like wait, bit Cadarius Tony's

156
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: a Brown Well yeah he fumbled, he was. But that's

157
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: how we all found out is because he fumbled, right,

158
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, Cadarius Tony's with the Browns

159
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: like that's if it was like we all collectively had

160
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the same realization at the same time.

161
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: Yesterday, me and Patrick Claybond were like, wait, Tim Boyles

162
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: the Giants backup quarterback. Now, like he started for Miami

163
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks.

164
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: Ago, he started well.

165
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: He also started that Black Friday game last year right

166
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: with the uh wow, the pick six, the Hail Mary pick.

167
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: Six and then the Robert Salo toothbrust commercial is ingrained

168
00:06:59,279 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 2: in my brain.

169
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: That was a great moment in football history. Hopefully for

170
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: some better moments in football history. This week, we'll talk

171
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: about some start sit wide receivers.

172
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: Who do you like.

173
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: I have Jerry Judys reach must start status.

174
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 2: To me, I keep joking like he's the second coming

175
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: of Jerry Rice, but with Jamis Winston, he is a

176
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: wide receiver one. I have Garrett Wilson and DeVante Adams

177
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: catching passes from a quarterback who doesn't think I'm real,

178
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: but I still put them in the starts, just like

179
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: ric o'dowdo. We've all spoken up Khalil Shakir this week,

180
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 2: So Khleil, we're really gonna need you to come through

181
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: and then Calvin Ridley, another person I've spent a lot

182
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: of time talking up this week, volume, upside, great matchup.

183
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: All of that is there for him. And then my sits.

184
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: I said, I don't get spicy, but Brian Thomas Junior

185
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: is a top ten wide receiver on the year, and

186
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: I still think you sit him though the production with

187
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: Mac Jones has been down.

188
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: The Jets are a really tough.

189
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: Secondary and he plays mostly out wide, so he's gonna

190
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: see a lot of Sauce Gardner and a lot of

191
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: DJ Reid Michael Pittman Jr. I have is a sit

192
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: he could see a lot of Patrick's Ertan and then

193
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: Tank Dell like he's another one. He's like Travis Etn

194
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: and CJ. Stroud Like he's just named right now.

195
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: I don't see how you trust him with your fantasy

196
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: season on the line.

197
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers sounds fake.

198
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: So here's the I I need you to break the

199
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: tie on this one, Lakwan, because Flourio's got Brian Thomas

200
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: as a sit, I've got him kind of I guess

201
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: sleeper ish or at least a guy to pay attention to.

202
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: Just because it feels like the Jags are sort of

203
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: trying to force the issue. Over All, the matchup not great.

204
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Over though, the last couple of weeks the Jets a

205
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: little bit more vulnerable. Where where do you fall on

206
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the Brian Thomas Junior start sit debate this week?

207
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: I feel like, if you can get away from him,

208
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: you would, but if you can't, like you just got

209
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 5: to feel, you know, somewhat confident that he makes a

210
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: big play, because that's honestly what's gonna take. And mac

211
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 5: Jones has kind of just been Mac Jones of what

212
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: we've known in the past, so there's not much of

213
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 5: a safe floor there and matchup is got awful, so

214
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: I really wouldn't want to swing for the fences in

215
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs. But it's one of those situations like you

216
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: drafted him, you probably got him, you know, as your

217
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 5: wide receiver four or five, so hopefully you're one, two

218
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 5: and three could fill in that spy or fill in

219
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: that hole.

220
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: All right, So it's a you know, we're not we're

221
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: not really enthusiastic about Brian Tom. I think it's sort

222
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: of the the overall feel as well. Yeah, I mean,

223
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: like I said, I I can make a case for it.

224
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I can certainly understand if folks want to get away

225
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: from him this week.

226
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: So there it is. Uh, let's finish up with tight ends.

227
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Of course we're starting in this place, right Florio, this

228
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: is this is the only name we have to start

229
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: with at this point.

230
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: Tom Smith Smith.

231
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: Who knows about the bet and is going to do

232
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: everything he can to turn the Kwan's hair strawberry blonde.

233
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 3: But this is where we reached.

234
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: With John Smith the Texans for much of the years,

235
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: when the toughest matchup for tight ends, I don't even

236
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: think you think twice, like, he's been so good you

237
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: have to start him. The upside is too high, Henry.

238
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: There's seven tight ends who have averaged more Fantasy points

239
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: per game than Henry has with Drake May, one of

240
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: which is Taysom Hill who's done for the year.

241
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: So there's really six.

242
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: Like the volume in the production has been too good

243
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: and I don't think he's getting enough credit for that.

244
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: And then Pat Fryarmuth more.

245
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: Yards as of late, a couple of touchdowns as of late,

246
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: and no George Pickens in a game where the Steelers

247
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: could be trailing that that means more volume for Pat Fryarmuth.

248
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: I believe.

249
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: And then my sits, Evan Ingram in the last four

250
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: games is high is eleven and that game in the

251
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: game where Trevor Lawrence started and then got knocked out.

252
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: He just hasn't been the same player with Mac Jones,

253
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: hasn't top fifty yards, hasn't caught a touchdown Kyle Pitts. Look,

254
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: you could throw one of us three out there and

255
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: we might have the same day as Kyle Pitts because

256
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: we would get one catch for like twelve yards and

257
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: never get back on the field.

258
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: But that's about an average Kyle Pitts game right now.

259
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: And then I have Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox as sits,

260
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: and lastly Cole Comet and the Vikings, because Comet will

261
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: have a big game every so often and then he'll

262
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: go like three where he combines for like three targets

263
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: for thirty yards and then like I'm not playing that

264
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: game in the Fantasy playoffs.

265
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, that's a rough way to live, for sure.

266
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: I don't even know where to go with Titans.

267
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta ask you about about John new Lukwan,

268
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: but I think we've already we sort of have.

269
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 5: He's the he's the tight end.

270
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: God.

271
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: I mean, like it's insane. With the yards that he's doing,

272
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: the catches and him knowing about the bet, it just

273
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 5: kind of just makes it like, oh, yeah, you start,

274
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: John new He's trying to get my hair blonde.

275
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: He hates me, He absolutely hates me.

276
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.

277
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: I love that we've turned the kwan from the biggest

278
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: John new Smith's stand there was now.

279
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Actively rooting against him. Now you're like you're one of

280
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: his ops. Now like this is the best. You become

281
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: one of his ops.

282
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 5: It's crazy he's called in Ruckus and the Jones family

283
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: because obviously my wife does not want my hair blond.

284
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: I don't want my hair blond.

285
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: But here we are the season though, like this is yes,

286
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: this is great, man, And shout out to cam Wolf

287
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: who made sure that Johnny knew about.

288
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: The whole thing too.

289
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: And I heard him laugh and yeah, apparently he had

290
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: a good, good laugh about that.

291
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: So shout out to cam Wolf for helping us out

292
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: with that. For sure.

293
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's a rough I would say this, it's

294
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: a rough week for tight ends. When I was writing

295
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: The Sleepers, Connel, I was trying to figure one out

296
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: like I put I put Noah Gray in as a sleeper,

297
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: and I really started, I started honestly with like, I'm

298
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you, it's not a great week

299
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: for sleeper tight ends. It's just not We're gonna try

300
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to We're gonna try to do some mental gymnastics and

301
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: make it work with Noah Gray here as a sleeper.

302
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: But that's sort of where we are with this one

303
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: at this point. So, uh, anyway, there you go. Those

304
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: are those are the starts, and said you can go
