And they talked 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: about we've got the pumpkin because Halloween's around the corner. 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: It is decorated with a Josh Allen jersey. I did 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: not paint this, contrary to popular belief. Shout out to parks. 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: They're only they're only two options. If it's Bills stuff, 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: it's Florio or it's Parker like those are the two options. 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: We had to have Zack Salian the house, who was 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: also a Bills fan there too, So there Bill's mafia 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: is taking over our show. One of you has to 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: jump through a table at some point before the season ends. 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: I know Florio says he's gonna do it if they bowl, 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: so we'll we'll make that happen. If the Bills through 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: in a super Bowl. We also have a forty Niners 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: helmet here on the table because there is big news. 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: Will get to that in just a moment. But of 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: course this is a show dedicated to all of you 24 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: who have questions. You can always tweet them to us 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy. We get to as many of them 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: here as we possibly can. The rest of them we 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: hand off to Aaron Tan because for whatever reason, he 28 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: doesn't like carrots. So you start eating your vegetables. You 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,919 Speaker 1: have to keep answering these questions. That's the deal we struck. 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: I know you didn't sign to it or agreed to it, 31 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: but still that's the deal. That's just how it works. 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: He definitely doesn't eat pumpkin. He definitely does not eat pumpkin. 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure he does not eat pumpkin. Is that a 34 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: vegetable or fruit? I don't know. I don't eat or 35 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: like pumpkins, but I think that no one actually likes pumpkin. 36 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: They just like cinnamon and nutmeg. I think that's really 37 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: what it is. Anyway, we got a whole lot to 38 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: get to on this show. You've got cues, We've got 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: a's lf G. But let's begin with the big news 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: that broke on Thursday night, and that is that the 41 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners acquired running back Christian mc affrey 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: in a trade from the Carolina Panthers. The Niners giving 43 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: up a bunch of draft picks for our purposes, That 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. We'll leave that to the salary cap 45 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: and draft experts on Twitter to sort of debate about. 46 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: For us, all we know is that one of the 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: top running backs in the NFL is now coming to 48 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: join an offense that was already pretty loaded when you 49 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: look at the weapons they had their Now Kyle Shanahan 50 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: gets to coach the kid he wants babysat for and 51 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: see what they can do in this offense. So I 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: guess the first question is we were talking on Fantasy 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: Live about what a trade would mean for Christian McCaffrey's 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: fantasy value going to San Francisco. Is this an overall 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: negative or positive for him? I think this is a 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: big positive for him, and and I was one of 57 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: the people who was like, be careful what you wish 58 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: for when it comes to trading McCaffrey, because if he 59 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: went to a team with the more mobile quarterback, maybe 60 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: we don't see as many passes him. I mean the Panthers, 61 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: as as gross as their offensive been this year, it 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: does run through Christian Christian McCaffrey, both in the air 63 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: and on the ground, so he's been plenty productive there. 64 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: But now we talk about this Kyle Shanahan run system 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: for years markets because you could pick up no name 66 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: guys that most people will know coming into the year 67 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: and they're really productive fantasy pieces because of that system. 68 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: And then I think Jimmy g is just the perfect 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: fit for CMC as well. I know he has a 70 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: been thrown to the running backs a bunch this year, 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: but right now he leads the NFL with his passing 72 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: yards coming after the catch. Every year he's towards the top. 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: He hasn't been below on that in his tenure with 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: the forty. So I just think it's a great system 75 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: and a great quarterback fit for McCaffrey. And Jimmy Garoppolo 76 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: is not an area yards guy. He's not gonna push 77 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: the ball downfield. It's why guys like Deebo, Samuel, George Kittle, 78 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: at Brandon and you have been such a good fit 79 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: in this offense because it's just about getting them in 80 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: space and letting them work. Christian McCaffrey fits that same bill. 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: We know what he can do with the football in 82 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: his hands, And you're right, Garoppolo has not really targeted 83 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: his running backs a whole lot, But maybe that has 84 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: to do with who the personnel is. I would think 85 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: now that they've gotten McCaffrey there, I would imagine he's 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: still going to see a good target share. And you 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: talked about the fact that we love running backs in 88 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan offense. Look, there's a reason we were 89 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: clamoring for Jamichael Hasty a year or two ago, right, 90 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: because those guys just tend to succeed. Now you're taking 91 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: a more talented back putting him in that same offensive system. 92 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: That just seems like a match made in fantasy Heaven. 93 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: Let's look at the rest of this offense, because with 94 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: McCaffrey going there, I've gotten a lot of questions I'm 95 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: sure you probably have as well about what does this 96 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: mean for Deebo Samuel. Not only was he the wide 97 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: receiver one in San Francisco, he was essentially there are 98 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: b two behind either Elijah Mitchell or Jeff Wilson, whoever 99 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: was healthy at the time. How much does this impact 100 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: what Debo can be going forward. I don't know if 101 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: it impacts his fantasy value as much as the way 102 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: he will get those fantasy points. I don't think he'll 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: be used on the ground nearly as much. I still 104 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: think we'll see him wrinkled in there at times and stuff, 105 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: because he is just that good of a weapon. But 106 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: I think he'll be more used again at a traditional receiver. 107 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: And before everyone freaks out, last year, before they started 108 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: using him as a running back, he was on pace 109 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: to be the second, like almost right behind Cooper Cup 110 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: what Cooper Cup did last season, So Deebo Samuel can 111 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: still excel in this role, especially if now instead of 112 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: putting all your defensive attention on him, you're also now 113 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: worrying about the run game getting you and Christian McCaffrey 114 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: being an extension there. It just helps because what if 115 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: c mc rolls out one way Deebo the other, Good 116 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: luck guessing which one you're going to cover. I think 117 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: he's okay. I think the secondary pieces, they're the ones 118 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: that take more of a hit. I do wonder what 119 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: this means for say Brandon Ayuk, right, because Deebo is 120 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: going to get his opportunities. I'm with you. I think 121 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: what happens is with McCaffrey. There, you see Deebo get 122 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: fewer carries. A lot of times when you look at 123 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: maybe his route participation, it's lower than what you'd expect 124 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: for a top notch wide receiver. But that's because a 125 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: lot of those times he's lined up in the backfield 126 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: and maybe he's going to take a carrier two. You 127 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. Now he doesn't line 128 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: up in the backfield as much, I don't think, but 129 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: that means he runs a few more routes, maybe he 130 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: sees a few more targets. Deebo is not the guy 131 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: I worry about. The guy that I would be concerned 132 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: about would be potentially Brandon a Uk to see if 133 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: he still keeps his his target share available. Also curious 134 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: sort of what this means for George Kittle if they 135 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: are running the football more, if they have McCaffrey Moore, 136 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: does he run as many routes? I don't know. We're 137 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: gonna find that out, I think in the next couple 138 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: of weeks. But Deebo is not the guy of everybody 139 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: there in San Francisco that I would worry about the most. Also, 140 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: do think real quick, I think this helps Jimmy Garoppolo 141 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: a little bit, just because it's one more weapon. He 142 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have to push the ball downfield. Trust me, as 143 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: a forty Niner fan, I close my eyes every now 144 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: and then and I see him overthrowing Emmanuel Sanders in 145 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Believe me, the text chain was active 146 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: last night. Everybody, trust me on that one. This helps 147 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy G though, because he's got another target, another guy 148 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: who can pick up yards after the catch. You don't 149 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: need air yards as a quarterback, You just yards period, 150 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: and McCaffrey can do that for him. Yeah, I think 151 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy G is gonna like especially with how bad the quarterback. 152 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: Like we thought quarterback was gonna be deep again and 153 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: it it hasn't. A lot of guys have bought doubt. 154 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: So I think that at the very least, Jimmy G 155 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be a streaming option most weeks. I think, uh, 156 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: And I agree with you everything you said on the 157 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: passing game, Like I think Brandon and Yok becomes very 158 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: boom or bust, and I'm really concerned if George Kittle 159 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: is gonna become way more of a blocker now because 160 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: he was always a yacht guy. Now you already have 161 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: two of the best in the league at that it's 162 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: like a luxury that they don't need a four. They 163 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: can use Kittle now as they pick and choose. I'll 164 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: say this, I don't think this week is going to 165 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: give us a clear indication of how it works. Just 166 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: because McCaffrey will just beginning to San Francisco sometime today. 167 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm curious how quickly he gets up to speed and 168 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: how much they use him. But I think starting next 169 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: week and going forward, we'll get a more clear indication 170 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: of what his usage is going to be and how 171 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: it impacts everybody else in that ecosystem. I do think 172 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: we have to sort of touch on what happens now 173 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: in Carolina with McCaffrey gone there, it was already a 174 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: bad offense and CMC was sort of the only thing 175 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: we could hang our hat on. The questions that have 176 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: been abounding on fan to see Twitter have been so 177 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: should I go get Deonta Foreman or sure, should I 178 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: go get Cuba Hubbard. I don't know about you, but 179 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: the answer for me is no, it's just no. Right now, 180 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't feel great about either. I slightly lean more 181 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: towards Deontay Foreman just because I think he has a 182 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: better chance of scoring touchdowns there. Um. But yeah, I 183 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: put on Twitter last night like you can pick these 184 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: two up, but don't drop anyone that you know. Like 185 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: people were asking me should I drop Melvin Gordon for him, 186 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, and I was like, I'd rather 187 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: have all of those names than these Carolina guys. But 188 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: if you're in a deeper league, or or you just 189 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: have someone on the end of your bench that's cutible, 190 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: sure take a flyer on one of these guys. My 191 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: bigger question, Marcus is would you start Christian McCaffrey in 192 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: Week seven? Now? Probably, I think so. I think so, 193 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: even even on a potential limited snapshare, with a limited 194 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: knowledge of the playbook, just ability and offense around him 195 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: sort of wins out. This week, somebody asked if they 196 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: would start, if they should start Christian McCaffrey over Deontay Foreman, 197 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: and I said, I will take the more talented player 198 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: in the better offense, even with a potentially limited snap share. 199 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: This week, I mean it's not like Foreman brings anymore 200 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: certainty than CMC does. Know It's it's somebody pointed out 201 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: that you've got You've got Cuba Hubbard, who doesn't really 202 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: offer you much in the passing game. You've got Deonta Foreman, 203 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: who's maybe a goal line hammer for a team that 204 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: never gets toward the end zone. And now you've got 205 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: interim head coach Steve wilkes Stein. And they may even 206 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: rotate Rashim black Sheer Rah black Sheer in there. So 207 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: it's potentially a three headed attack in a bad offense. 208 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: Do not want? I think that pretty much sums up Carolina. Yeah, 209 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, because I hate to be 210 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: the bear of bad news. D J Moore is not 211 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: getting traded out man for DJ More. I mean, this guy, really, 212 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: he's watched Robby Anderson forced his way out, He's watched 213 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: CMC get traded, and now you've got the Panthers coming 214 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: out and say we think DJ Moore is a foundational 215 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: piece and we don't want to move him. I mean, 216 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: they gave him a bunch of guaranteed money this offseason 217 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: and that doesn't kick in until after this season. Like 218 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: like they he's twenty five. He's on the books for 219 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: at least three more years after this one. Like, I'm sorry, 220 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: I would like him to get set free as well. 221 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. DJ More is the the meme. 222 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: It's it's squid word inside his house watching SpongeBob and 223 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: Patrick frolick. Like SpongeBob and Patrick, that's c MC and 224 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and d J. Moore is totally squid word 225 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: right now, sitting in his house looking sad. All right, 226 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: there was a football game on Thursday night and there 227 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: were points, which is something we can't say from recent 228 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: thursday and at football games. The Cardinals get their first 229 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: home win in I don't know forever, it seems. They 230 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: beat the Saints forty two to thirty four. Quick look 231 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: at the fantasy numbers there, Andy Dalton twenty six and 232 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: a half fantasy points when he threw three interceptions. This 233 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: goes back to my complaint about quarterback score. There's no 234 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: way you should throw three picks and still be the 235 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: top fantasy score of the night. But whatever. Alvin Kamara, 236 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: who apparently angered somebody and can't get it, looks near 237 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: the goal line. He had seventeen and a half fantasy 238 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: points Chris Olave and I snipe seventeen point six for him. 239 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: On the other side, Tyler Murray, who not gets the 240 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: rest of the weekend to play call of duty, he 241 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: got to just over seventeen fantasy points. You know, Benjamin 242 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: a week after floundering against the Seahawks, puts up twenty 243 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: three against the safe. Welcome back DeAndre Hopkins. That music 244 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: video apparently paid off ten catches a buck oh three, 245 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: twenty point three fantasy points for him. I'm not gonna 246 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: get too deep into this game, but it was nice 247 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: to see DeAndre Hopkins come back after being out for 248 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: the first six weeks. We were wondering exactly how they 249 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: were going to use him, and the answer was the 250 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: same old DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah he I mean he had 251 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: to go over to Kyler like in the first quarter 252 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: or whatever and was like, hey, I'm back throwing the ball, 253 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: and then the rest of the like Kyler only saw him. 254 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: But what I liked, Yeah, his target share was near 255 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: that's awesome, but almost half his routes came out of 256 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 1: the slot, and that is something we've never seen de 257 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: hop do before. So to me, I'm like, if they're 258 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: gonna start moving him around the field, putting him in 259 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: the slot, finding mismatches with him, I think his been 260 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: fantasy ceiling could be even higher than what it's been. 261 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: It's amazing a few works out of the slot. He 262 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: is super deadly and dangerous because you're talking about getting 263 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: great matchups on top of him already being a contested 264 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: catch guy. So now if you can get separation, he 265 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: can break tackles. He might just be unstoppable at this point. 266 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: All right, that's enough about that. Let's get to some 267 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: of your questions that you sent us on the Twitter 268 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: machine at NFL Fantasy. We will start with the Wolf 269 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football asking should he trade George Pickens for 270 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: where he most need a running back this week? What 271 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: do you say here? If you need a running back, 272 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: I get it, But if we're talking season long, I'd 273 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: still rather George Pickens, especially with Chase Claypool now in 274 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: trade rumors. I think there's a lot of upside there. 275 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: But I get it. If you need a running back, Yeah, 276 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: I mean I do think you know we're gonna see 277 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: a lot more George Pickens. I know you talked about 278 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: him really being able to winning its man coverage and 279 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: certainly that working in his favor. This week. I'll say this, 280 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna help you at all because we're 281 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: gonna be split on this decision. I think you make 282 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: the deal just because I looked at where he most 283 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: schedule over the next few weeks, and there's a lot 284 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: of really favorable contests for Rage mostart over in the 285 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: next month or six weeks or so. I didn't get 286 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: a look at his fantasy playoff schedule, but at least 287 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: in the short term, a lot of really good matchups 288 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: there for a guy who has taken over that backfield 289 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: in Miami. We know what they can do running or 290 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: throwing the football, but now the two is back. Maybe 291 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: they stretched the field, maybe they've been more a few 292 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: more light boxes for Raheem Mostards. So good luck to 293 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: the Wolf Fantasy football, because we didn't really come to 294 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: a consensus on that. So flip a coin or pick 295 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: the one of us you like best, and then follow 296 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: that piece of advice. There that's all I got for you. 297 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: Next one, it's from Jacomo Raldo Giraldo Erldo. Sorry stuck 298 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: between starting Drake London or Clyde Edwards Hilaire coming down 299 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 1: to a coin flip. I feel you're paying here. What 300 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: should he do? Two names that I liked coming into 301 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: the year. I would go with ce C e H 302 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: here though, just because I think he has the better 303 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: chance of scoring a touchdown. The Falcons haven't been throwing 304 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: the ball a whole lot. They haven't been especially throwing 305 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: to London in the red zone as of late. And 306 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: c H. I know his floor isn't very safe, but 307 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: we've seen that he has a high ceiling. I'm gonna 308 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: go with c H on this one as well. The 309 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: Niners are trying to get healthier, trying to get better defensively, 310 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: but they're still missing some key pieces. And just for 311 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: whatever reason, it seems like Edwards Hilaire ends up with 312 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: the football when they get down near the gold line 313 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: and he's scoring those touchdowns. So even though he's splitting 314 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: time with Jerick McKinnon and occasionally Isaiah Pacheco, he seems 315 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: like he has a more stable floor than Drake London 316 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: does this week. So you're right, that low pass volume 317 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: in Atlanta frightens me a little bit. One more before 318 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: we hit the break. This one from Blue Matt Ryan 319 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: or Marcus Mariota. I think both are in play as 320 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: streaming options, but I like Matt Ryan a lot more. 321 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: He's my favorite streaming option this week. He's coming off 322 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: his best game. It's a good matchup against the Titans, 323 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: and I like his pieces around him. His pass catchers 324 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: are really coming into their own. Mariota has shown that 325 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: he has a high ceiling, but if he doesn't get 326 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: like a rushing touchdown or a big rushing rushing day, 327 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at a very floor. That's the 328 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: thing for me this week is that I don't know 329 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: that the rushing ability for Mariota is as much in 330 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: play against Cincinnati. I think the Bengals are gonna put 331 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: up some points, which means this is gonna have to 332 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: be a past heavy attack. And Arthur Smith has shown 333 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't really trust Mariota to throw the ball a ton, 334 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: So if you get rushing yards from him, I think 335 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: it's because he scrambles. I don't think there are a 336 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: lot of designed runs in the offense this week. Meanwhile, 337 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I like Matt Ryan a lot against that Tennessee secondary, 338 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: So that's an easy call for me. It's Ryan over Mariota. 339 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we have more of your questions. 340 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: We're also gonna talk some sleepers as we headed to 341 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: what is a kind of week in Week seven with 342 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: a lot of big offenses on to buy. That is 343 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: next here on the Q and A. Let's talk about 344 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: some players that maybe deserve a little bit more love 345 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: heading into the weekend. Florio, who is on your list? 346 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: I just said I like Matt Ryan last timent. I 347 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: really like Alec Pierce as well. I think he's in 348 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: play as a sleeper. At least twelve Fantasy points in 349 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: three straight games, one of which came against the Titans, 350 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: who he's playing today, well Sunday, and then the Titans 351 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: have given up a bunch of Fantasy points to wide receivers, 352 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: So I think Alec Pierce is in play. I really 353 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: like Michael Pittman Jr. Matt Ryan in this game, but 354 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce ascending and someone that a couple of days 355 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: ago you could have grabbed off the waiver witer. Absolutely, 356 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna see Paris Campbell kind of 357 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: get less attention. I know he had a decent game 358 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: last week, but Pierce looks like he's the real deal 359 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: here and really may start to take over that wide 360 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: receiver to spot. I like Kenyan Drake as a sleeper, 361 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: although at this point he might just be elevated to 362 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: a straight up start now. J K. Dobbins did not 363 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: practice on Friday. He's missed practice for three straight days 364 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: as he continues to sort of recover from that nie 365 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: stiffness he had last week. We saw Drake have a 366 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: very good game last week for the Ravens. This week 367 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: he's got the Browns who have struggled in the run 368 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: defense category. So it's still a Ravens team that wants 369 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: to run primarily, I think, and Drake is poised for 370 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: another big week. Let's get back to some more of 371 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: your questions at the Twitter machine. This one a wide 372 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: receiver or query that we have the question here from 373 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: Andrew Lizard, Curtis Samuel, or Brandon Cooks for the flex. 374 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: So to meet Curtis Samuel is the easy one to 375 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: kick out, and it was really close between Lizard and Cooks. 376 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: So with it being that close, I decided to I 377 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: would go Lazard just because he's been a big red 378 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: zone target for Aaron Rodgers. I like his chances of 379 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown against a week Washington Secondary. But I 380 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: think those two are by far the top two options. 381 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Brandon Cooks here, but again, it was 382 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: really close for me either way. I just think that overall, 383 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: he's the guy who probably gets a larger target share. 384 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: The packer passing game has made me concerned. I just 385 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a way to really peg 386 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: it here, but I do think Brandon Cooks is gonna 387 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of work. You see that six targets 388 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: or more in every single game. So he's the guy 389 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: I like. But I'm with you, Curtis Samuel was the 390 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: easy elimination, I say in that question. Uh, let's next 391 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: one here, this one from Cheeky. Should I start Burrow 392 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: over Mahomes this week? No? No, I mean Burrow has 393 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: been playing really good ball, but Mahomess, Mahomes and Mahomes 394 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: isn't a really I know, on paper doesn't look like 395 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: a good matchup, but right now the forty nine like 396 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: their defense at full strength, one of the best in 397 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: the league. Unfortunately, they're so banked up right now that 398 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: we just saw Marcus Mariota drop twenty eight against that 399 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm with you a hundred percent on this one. I 400 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: think it's Mahomes all the way here. The Niners have 401 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: big injuries in their secondary as well, so we know 402 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is going to get his. Not to mention 403 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: that you've got Kelsey versus Kittle on National tight End Day, 404 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. So I think 405 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: Kelsey gets his. But I think you can also peg 406 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: in either take your pick, either m VS or Juju 407 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. I think one of those guys gets involved 408 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: as well. So for me, it is Mahomes over Joe Burrow. 409 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: It's like a quick peek at Monday Night football. It 410 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: is the Bears and the Patriots in Foxborough. And I 411 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: just want to start by saying I don't love David 412 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: Montgomery in this match up. The Patriots have been very 413 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: good against the run. More importantly, they're not giving up 414 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. I think they've given up to all year long, 415 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: so that already bodes poorly. Then throwing the fact that 416 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: Matt eber Fleus is talking about a potential hot hand 417 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: situation with Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, it just seems all bad. 418 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: I look, I have Montgomery. I think I'm starting him 419 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues because I don't have any 420 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: other choices. But I'm not really fired up. But on 421 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: the other side, the running game situation for New England 422 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: seems a lot more favorable this week. Yeah, it does. 423 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: And Romandre Stevenson is someone that I thought was a 424 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: must start player coming into this game. But I will 425 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: point out that Damien Harris has returned to practice it 426 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: looks like he might try to play this week. I 427 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: still think Stevenson is to start there, but it just 428 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: lowers his ceiling a little bit because Harris will take 429 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: carries away from him, potentially even in the red zone. 430 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: But I still think Stevenson at the very least gets 431 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: a split of groundwork and probably all of the targets 432 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: in the running back from the back road. Bears have 433 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: been very tough against the past, not so much against 434 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: the run this year. Let's get back to some of 435 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: your Twitter questions. You can always hit us up at 436 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy. We got one from Wait, James Franco, not 437 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: that James Franco anyway. By the way, I love the 438 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: disaster artist big fan starting no offense or Tyler Conklin. Uh. 439 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: These are tight ends. Trending in different directions, so I'll 440 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: go with the hot and and no fans. I'll stay 441 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: with no A fan too, just because I believe in 442 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: Gino in that passing game up there in Seattle. Next 443 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: one from Aunt Boogie. Who's a better option Josh Reynolds 444 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: or Chase Claypool. Uh, this is like the pointing spider 445 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: Man gift. I think they're both very boomer bust. I 446 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: think I just trust Josh Reynolds a little bit more. 447 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: There's less target competition there than in Pittsburgh, and I 448 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: think with DJ Charks still banged up by Josh Reynolds, 449 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: get some more opportunity, so I will co sign on 450 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: that one. Last one, this one from Riley Doyle has 451 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: traded A J. Brown and James Robinson for Nazi and 452 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Thoughts, I don't think it's a bad trade 453 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: because James Robinson is really trending in the wrong direction 454 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: like A J. Brown. I think is the You can 455 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: make a case the best piece in this trade, but 456 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I think you to the second and third best pieces. 457 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: I think so, and also said a couple of weeks ago, 458 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: I think this is now the time to start trading 459 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: for maybe underperforming running backs who still have a lot 460 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: of usage, and Nag Harris and Aaron Jones both fall 461 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: into that category. So I think if one or both 462 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: of them turn it around, you end up with a 463 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: pretty good deal there. All right, it's started to take 464 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: another trip around the Worldwide Web, and this was a 465 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: fun one. Our own Peter Schreeger on his podcast at 466 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: the season, got to sit down with Paul Rudd, who 467 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: talked about playing in a celebrity fantasy league. Take a 468 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 1: listen to what aunt Man himself had to say. And 469 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: then there's the Marvel League, which is also worth noting. 470 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: Can we go through that. I mean, I'm not a 471 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: name guy, but let's go through the names of the 472 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: people in this league. And you guys actually keep up 473 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: with it as a fantasy league. Yeah, I started years ago, um, 474 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: and it was it was. It was fun this year 475 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: when it started, you and I were and ridiculous zoom. 476 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: Well that was because you know, we started. One of 477 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: the traditions in that league is everyone makes a little 478 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: video before the beginning of the draft, and everyone does 479 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: kind of like you know, a shot and good luck 480 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: and uh and and and then we do our our 481 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: draft and so um Joe Russo, who directed you know, 482 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: the Endgame and a lot of us Russo brothers uh 483 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: said he uh was going to take us all down 484 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: in his video because also he had a cheat sheet 485 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: given to him from uh Matthew Berry uh and so 486 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: he had one up on us. And then I made 487 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: a video saying, well, you know, cheers you guys, Joe. 488 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: That is completely unfair. You can't have that kind of 489 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: inside information. I think it's lame. Um. I would never 490 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: do such a thing. And then the camera like just 491 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: kind of pand it over. You were sitting in the 492 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: corner saying yeah, talking about the like, uh, the way 493 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: you got the number two pick you to go McCaffrey. So, 494 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: uh yeah that was But that league is yeah, I 495 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: think it's Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie and Pratt and 496 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that are in that kind of 497 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: and then also guys that aren't in um in in 498 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: Marvels teller. Ryan Reynolds is in it. Um Uh I 499 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: want to say, Krasinski's in it. Yeah, there's um and 500 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: there's yeah yeah, Garrett Headlands awesome, yeah, big Vikings fan. Um. Yeah. 501 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: So it's a it's a real it's a it's a 502 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: fun it's a fun group. Be sure to go check 503 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: out the season war that interview between Peter Schrager and 504 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Paul Red. But it does beg the question if you 505 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: could put together a dream fantasy league, who would be 506 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: in it? Uh, probably Josh Allen. Um. I think I'd 507 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: have a lot more fictional people than real life people, 508 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: Like I would love to play like fantasy, like the 509 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: cast of Steinfeld, but like who they are on the 510 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: TV show, you not in real life. It's it's tough, 511 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: it's tough. It was like I think I would like 512 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: to play with some of the Marvel people, but like 513 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: seriously like the actual character because like you know, like 514 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: look look Captain America, Steve Rogers like a hundred years old, 515 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: so he wouldn't know any current players. Tony Starks the 516 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: one guy wouldn't want because he's super smart and analytical 517 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: and he would actually we think Cynthia Freeland has like 518 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: all the numbers, like Tony Stark would have literally all 519 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: of the numbers in my mind, you know, like when 520 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: they show Tony Starks looking through the mask and it's 521 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: like all the numbers computing, Like that's Cynthia's mind. That's cynthis, 522 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: that's how she sees the world. That's absolutely Cynthia's brain 523 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: right now. So I would love to play like drags. 524 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: I think you could. You know, you could certainly con 525 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: him into taking bad picks. But then if you've made 526 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: fun of him, he might smash your face in. But anyway, 527 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: that's that's the risk I'm willing to tell. I wouldn't 528 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: want to play with the Hulk, would not want to 529 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: You would not like him when he is angry, like 530 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: when things are going badly and his team's losing. It 531 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: would probably be bad for him. That'll pretty much do 532 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: it for this one.
