1 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Welcome back for another week through the Fantasy Pros Football podcast, 2 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm your host Bobby Silvester. This week in football, we 3 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: saw Ezekiel Elliott host by far the top fantasy performance 4 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: who are running back this season, while Marcus Mariota became 5 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: the top fantasy score over the previous six weeks. Here 6 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: to chat with me about this and the waiver wire 7 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: rankings for this week are Andy Holloway and Jason Moore 8 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: of the award winning Fantasy Footballers Podcast. Andy, Jason, thanks 9 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: for coming to the show. Guys, thank you for having us. 10 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Yeah, that crazy week. So I was 11 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: combing through some stats this morning and realized that the 12 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: dominance of David Johnson and Zekiel Elliott have been great, 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: but neither of them are the hop running backs in 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: fantasy points this season. It's Melvin Gordon with one hundred 15 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: and fifty nine, Johnson's ten back, de Marca Murray's right 16 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: behind him. Then you have to go another ten back 17 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliott, who's in fourth. The thing is they're 18 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: all on pace to blow out last season's leader, Devoti 19 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: Freeman's two hundred and thirty points. Is it fair to 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: say we're looking at running back on one point one 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: again next summer. Absolutely. I think that over the last 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: decade you have seen the top running backs outscore the 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: top wide receivers, and they're also more rare so usually. 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this year is the first year I can 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: remember where the consensus was wide receiver, and I think 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: that that's kind of blown up a little bit as 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: the season's gone on. So, you know, I was looking 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: at I was putting in my rankings for the rest 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: of the season this year, and I saw that Melvin 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Gordon number, and I still can't put him anywhere above fifth. 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Would you guys consider him a top five running back 32 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: option or am I crazy? Top five I think is 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: fine to put there. I mean, he's there right now 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: because he hasn't had his bye week. He's he's approaching 35 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: his bye week right now. So if you really average 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: that out, you know, and go per game, he would 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: be about where you have. You know, Andy, who do 38 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: we have? You got David Johnson and Zeke and DeMarco 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: Murray and love Bell and Bell. Yeah, I can't put 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: him above any of those guys. I could see. I 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: could see putting him ahead of DeMarco potentially next year, 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: but next year not right now? Yeah, not right now. 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm rested he's I might even like Jayagi anymore. 44 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: He's averaging over one hundred and fifty yards and twenty 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: four carries in the past four games. I can't imagine 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: that changing his schedule is not great the rest of 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: the season. But if he's getting that that many carries 48 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: in that offense, I might even like him. About Melvin Board, 49 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: he can't keep up this touchdown base. You think he couldn't, 50 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: but man, he he just seems as matchup proof as 51 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: they come when it comes to how much they lean 52 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: on him. Obviously, we've seen Miami come out of the 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: duldrums of failure and string a few games together. I 54 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: didn't I don't think anybody likes seeing Damian Williams steal 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: some of AJII's end zone touches there, So I think 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: I would still take Gordon over Ajii. But Agi, he's 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: moved himself right into that discussion, and it's kind of 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: incredible that we've seen, you know, we have all these 59 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: young backs that are now looking like workhorse level guys. 60 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: When everyone was afraid that the rotation was going to 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: be the norm. You know, it's amazing. I thought we'd 62 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: be talking about Todd Gurley as this guy, but he's 63 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: just falling off the map. Yeah. We have the privilege 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: of speaking with Eric Dickerson on tomorrow's show, and you know, 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: he's somebody who's intimate with the Rams organization, and he 66 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: talked so much about how that offensive line just does 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: not provide him the ability to make big plays. I mean, 68 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I think we saw a stat today one hundred and 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: sixty seven carries for Gurley on the year, zero carries 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: over twenty yards, which is just an incredible seeing what 71 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: he did last year. Yeah, while Benny Cunningham on the 72 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: same team has eighteen carries and has two carries over 73 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: twenty yards. Yeah, that's that's a sad story right there. 74 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: But I mean, at some point when the defense is 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: only focused on you because nobody else can beat you, 76 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: it just seems like he's not going to be over 77 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: be able to overcome what he's facing on defense until 78 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: they find another weapon there on the offensive side. Yeah, 79 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: we've seen what offensive lines can do. I mean, Deren 80 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: McFadden was phenomenal behind the Cowboys offensive line last year, 81 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: So you you pencil in an absolute stug like Ezekiel Elliott. 82 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: Of course he's going to be in the MVP race. Yeah, 83 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: I mean Zeke is doing everything right now. And we've 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: had that discussion too here recently about Okay, well, let's 85 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: say Alfred Morris was given that starting role and they 86 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: don't draft Ezekiel Elliott. Does he do what Zeke has done? 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: And the answers no, I mean, you're you'd probably have 88 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: a very very good season like we saw from Darren McFadden, 89 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: but you're not going to see the capability of breaking 90 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: off at an eighty five yard swing pass. I mean 91 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: that's just catching the balls, not something Alfred Morris can do. 92 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: You have all the weapons in Ezekiel Elliott you could want, 93 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: and an offensive line that just well, I mean, could 94 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: you imagine a better situation if you're Ezekie Elliott coming 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: into the league. I don't think so. Oh, let's just 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: imagine that Ezekiel Ellett gets hurt or maybe the legal 97 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: issues that he's dealing with turn the wrong way for him. 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: Would Alfred Morris be an RB one immediately? Absolutely he would. 99 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: I think he would be a lock for being a 100 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: top ten You don't see Ezekiel Elliot, even though this 101 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: last week he he had that you know, eighty yard 102 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: touchdown reception. The norm for him is really the between 103 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: the tackles the carries on the ground, and I think 104 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna see from Alfred Morris should he 105 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: assume that role. He is absolutely capable of doing that. 106 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: And while he might not break off as many long plays, 107 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: he'll have so many chunk yardage plays where he would 108 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: be top ten I think Lock I agree, I definitely 109 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: think he's an RB one if if Elliott does go down, 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: are there I mean during the preseason, we love to 111 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: load up our teams with all these backup running backs 112 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: and handcuffs just he gets the starter goes down. Now, 113 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have injury issues and 114 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: they've got buys coming up, so they can't really afford 115 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: to do that. But if someone's in a situation where 116 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: they can stash one of these backup running backs, Look, 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: I understand Derreck Henry's owned in a lot of leagues 118 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and players like that, but are there any other backup 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: running back so you can see immediately becoming an RB 120 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: one if they take over? Oh? Man, um, Yeah, I 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: mean a Alf's at the top of the list. Obviously, 122 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: Henry's at the top of the list. I mean, I 123 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: think just with the offensive system. I mean, I don't 124 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: know his balal Pal if four Day has gone, does 125 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: balal Pal, because of his involvement in the passing game, 126 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: become you know, I think the top fifteen running back probably. 127 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: I can't imagine they use him as a workhorse though, 128 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: I think they would still only get him fifteen touches 129 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: a game. I mean, he's got six point eight yards 130 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: per Harry this season. That's that's amazing. But I'm just 131 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: not sure he'd get the volume to be in that 132 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: room we saw. We saw a couple of games last 133 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: year where Chris Ivory was gone and Blow Powell really 134 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: did send him that role on a on a you know, 135 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: he got the work to get it done. I think 136 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: balow Pal would certainly be in consideration, And honestly, it's 137 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: whoever Levon Bell's backup is at the time. I think 138 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: if Fitzgerald Toussaint, you know, if he would actually be 139 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: a productive fantasy running back right now if leve Bell 140 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: were to go down, And of course when U D 141 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: Will's back, I mean he's locked those questions are coming 142 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: in all the time. I mean the David Johnson question. Well, 143 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: is Ellington worth owning if you're the David Johnson owner. 144 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: And you know, in most scenarios other than the one 145 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned with maybe Alf, you're going to get a 146 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: step down. If Spencer Weare goes down, yeah, okay, you 147 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: have char West, You're going to get a step down 148 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: the ladder. It might be enough to save your season. 149 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, you saw last year the number one player 150 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: that was on championship rosters was Tim high Tower. Yeah, 151 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: because you know, mark Ingram went down and high Tower 152 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: had enough enough production to win you your league. So 153 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: I think there are those guys that that could get 154 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: it done, but let's hope they don't go down. So 155 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the waiver wire now and at Blile. 156 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: Pal's available in over fifty percent of leagues. I think 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: if he's there, he's one of the guys I'm interested in, Addie, 158 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and look, guys, it is really ugly this week. I 159 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: know some people are really needing a running back. Maybe 160 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: they were decimated my injuries or a wide Receivers just 161 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: aren't living up to the hype. I hate to break 162 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: it to them, but they're not finding that help in 163 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: the waiver wire this week. Yeah, and you have to 164 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: take a shot with somebody. I mean, you know the 165 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: nice thing about Baal Pale is if you have him 166 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: and let's say you are handcuffing with him, you know, 167 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: if you had another running back go down, at least 168 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: Pale is somebody that you could put into your lineup 169 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: and you're not going to get nothing from them. You know. 170 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: He he's somebody who can come in and look up 171 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: this last week. I mean, he had a productive week, 172 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. At least that's what you get out 173 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: of him. I mean, you're right, it is thin. I've 174 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: got my eyes on a lot of these young flyers, 175 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, a Paul Perkins or a Kenneth Dixon. 176 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: You know, Dixon right now, at least, according to ESPN leagues, 177 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: is something like ten to eleven percent owned before this 178 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: next waiver wire goes through. You know, Perkins is somewhere 179 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: around the thirty percent range. Yeah, and I think the 180 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: the top running back, if one of if not the 181 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: top guy, would would probably be in my opinion, Rob Kelly. 182 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: Rob Kelly has taken over the role in Washington, who 183 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: saw Matt Jones as a as a healthy scratch, and 184 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: he's looked great. He had almost one hundred Carr's almost 185 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: one hundred yards against the Minnesota Vikings defense, which has 186 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: been great. And Rob Kelly he's only lost two. He's 187 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: only lost yardage on two of one hundred carries, which 188 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: is a really good rate. And you watch the film 189 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: and you go, this guy looks like he's getting extra 190 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: yardage that wasn't there based on the offensive line. Ye 191 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: had Chris Thompson fumble this week too, so you know, 192 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: if he can hold on to the football, he'll have 193 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: a he'll have a role, and he's more of a bruiser, 194 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: not gonna do anything too special, but at least he's 195 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: consistent for you. I remember watching this guy in preseason 196 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: and just kind of laughing at the thought that he 197 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: was even on an NFL roster, let alonding intention for 198 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: a starting job. But you know what, he's changing my mind. 199 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: He looks very good lately. Well it's funny we always say, 200 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, preseason, it just does not matter, and then 201 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: you look, Rob Kelly just blew it up. You know, 202 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in preseason was getting all the love of like, Wow, 203 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: this guy's great. Everywhe's just preseason some of these things. Actually, 204 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: it's better to look good in the preseason than to not. Yeah, 205 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. I want to talk about Paul Perkins. 206 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Let's go back to him. You mentioned him as one 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: of the young flyers that you can take, and at 208 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: this stage, I'm all about taking the flyers. I've got 209 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: a couple guys in mind that we'll talk about here 210 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: in a second, but tell us about Perkins. Well, what 211 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: I like about Perkins overall is the fact that not 212 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: only does he have a chance to potentially supplant Rashad 213 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: Jennings between the tackles, he's somebody who can catch the ball. 214 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we saw what he's done with, you know, 215 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: right kind of his debut game this season against Minnesota. 216 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: I think he had the biggest yardage play against Minnesota 217 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: that they had given up the entire year, when he 218 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: went for almost seventy yards on a screen pass. They're 219 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: willing to use him in that kind of a role. 220 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: He had, you know, a career high in touches, I 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: think fourteen touches in his last game, and so you 222 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: know what's nice about that circumstances, at least you have 223 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: a player that you know as a fantasy on it. 224 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: What do we like? We like somebody with upward trajectory, 225 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: with potential, with the skill set to get something done, 226 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, Rashad Jennings is okay, but 227 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: he's Perkins is the future. So whether it's him, whether 228 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: it's Dixon. You know, even though a flyer on a 229 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: guy like Smallwood, you know, one injury and all of 230 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: a sudden that player is is potentially involved in the offense. 231 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Running backs, you take a flyer on them because they're 232 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, that position scarcity issue that you have and 233 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: the potential for injury. You just you stash him on 234 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: your bench. If it doesn't work out in a couple 235 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: of weeks, you stash another one. But you have to 236 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: put them on your roster. You have to get them 237 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: before somebody else doesn't. Look. I got Kennid Dickson a 238 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: long time ago, and I am so disappointed in him 239 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: because last week was his chance Cleveland's defense. You know, 240 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna get all the touches. But 241 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: I guess his chest contusion or whatever that minor injury 242 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: was set him back where you know he started training 243 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: the wrong direction in snaps. Do you think he's gonna 244 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: end up getting most of these snaps or is it 245 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: gonna stay at timeshare? He I think he will end 246 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: up getting most of the snaps. I was gonna say, 247 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: you just keep holding on you, you keep waiting because 248 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: it's coming. Terah, I agree, especially in PPR and half 249 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: point leagues. Five catches on seven targets last week, Yeah, 250 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: that's so important, Just just like Andy was saying on 251 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: Paul Perkins. You can get it done between the tackles, 252 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: but I would always rather have the guy that can 253 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: also catch the Paul. We were talking about that before 254 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: the season. You know, would you rather have a David 255 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: Johnson who's involved in the passing game or Todd Gurley 256 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: who game script can can get away from you. Kenneth Dixon, 257 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: if he takes over that that majority role on the ground, 258 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be all the better because in every 259 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: game situation he's able to be a factor in fantasy. 260 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: And of course, you know most leagues are a PPR 261 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: or half point nowadays, and that's just added value. If 262 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: he's getting five receptions out there. And Terence West, Terence 263 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: West is only one point three five per carry in 264 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: the previous two games, and he didn't do anything to 265 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: secure his spot ahead of Dixon. So I think there's 266 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: a lot of potential for Dixon. Yeah, well, I definitely 267 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: have Kenneth dixons my number one running back kick up 268 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: again if he's still available in your league for whatever reason. 269 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Now the real question, I guess Jeremy Langford could sneak 270 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: ahead of him. It depends on what happens with Jordan 271 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Howard's an ankle or a chilees whatever. This injury is, 272 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. He's on our list as well 273 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: as somebody that you just have to pay attention to, 274 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: you know. I think he's owned in something like thirty 275 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: two thirty percent of leagues or so, so he's probably 276 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: out there. When John Fox comes out and says that 277 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: a guy is injured or might be injured, that says 278 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: to me, he's completely healthy. So I'm not worried about 279 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Jordan Howard if he was healthy 280 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: or if he was injured. I feel like John Fox 281 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: will come out and say, we don't know. I think 282 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna be just fine. You know, all jokes aside, 283 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: Howard says that he's fine. I agree. You know, you 284 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: need a monitor and watch practice reports and see if 285 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: he's out or if an MRI comes back. But without that, 286 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: if he's practicing and limited, I'm still gonna have my 287 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: confidence in Howard. Now, is there any chance Godem Carry 288 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: gets some of these touches? John Fox is a head coach, 289 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: you know there's a chance. Yeah. I mean it seems 290 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: like the what he was going to before the big 291 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: blog game for Howard where you put up about thirty 292 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: fantasy points, was it's a hot hand approach. I have 293 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: no doubt that Fox is willing to ride Carry if 294 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: Carry's got a hot hand and Lankford, you know this 295 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: is John Fox, enjoy the ride. It's we have the 296 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: same story going on in Philadelphia right now with Doug Peterson. 297 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: It's just, you know, whatever he says, you take it 298 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: either with a grain of salt or the exact opposite. 299 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: You don't even know what to believe. So it's kind 300 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: of like what did Jason say on the show today, 301 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: Russian Roulette. I mean, you're just hoping, but at least 302 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: you have a running back, right, you know, Yeah, I 303 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: can't believe that he said, Ryan Matthews is going to 304 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: be in the bench, and then he went off. He 305 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: just completely went off. All these people in I see 306 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: are just shaking their heads when they have Matthews on 307 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: the bench. Yeah, we made the joke that, you know, 308 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: I think we made the joke, and we really did 309 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: believe it was Sprowles. But we were right when we 310 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: joked that he just you know, he does the opposite apparently, 311 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: and so caught us off guard. I don't think very 312 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: many people started running Matthews this week. Another one of 313 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: these weird running back situations is up in Detroit. You've 314 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: got theo Ritic, who's pretty much guaranteed to get about 315 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: ten fifteen touches a game. But then you've got Dwayne 316 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: Washington and they eased him back into the lineup in 317 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: Week nine against Minnesota, and he wasn't very good because 318 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: it was against Minnesota, but he did get ten touches. 319 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering going forward if he's the type of 320 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: lottery to hit you guys, really like, you know what, 321 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: he's got to give me a double digit game in 322 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: his career before he's a lottery ticket. I like, I mean, 323 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: I am not buying into Dwayne Washington for the exact 324 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: reason that Andy says. There's been so much hype for 325 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: so long, and he had opportunities Earlier in the year. 326 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: Week three, he had ten carries then as well, only 327 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: got thirty eight yards. This last week ten Carrey's got 328 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: twenty six yards. The reality is Detroit is not a 329 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: good team at running the ball. They need a guy 330 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: like Theo Riddick, who they manufacture yards for by getting 331 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: him in space. That's not who Dwayne Washington is. You know, 332 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: if you put Dwayne Washington on a different team and 333 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: gave him a you know, a different opportunity, sure he 334 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: might have that juice left. But I personally have a 335 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: really hard time buying into now. All of a sudden, 336 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna look good in regular season and then I 337 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: have him. I don't have much different than how I 338 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: would project Asiata. You know, if you got on the 339 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: goal line, Washington might get in, but I'm not. You know, 340 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: if he doesn't score, he's not doing anything for you. 341 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: And he hasn't done anything yet. So you know, I 342 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: think what you said about Riddick, I mean, Riddick is 343 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: kind of if anything, the lack of production from the 344 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: other backs. Has made me feel very firm about Riddick 345 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: being a guy you can start every week. I think 346 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: the point you brought up about if you was on 347 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: a different team, it would be a different circumstance. But 348 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: he's behind that Detroit offensive line. That's why I don't 349 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: care if Adrian Peterson comes back. He's behind Minnesota's terrible 350 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: offensive line. It doesn't matter that Dwayne Washington's getting touches. 351 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: He's behind that offensive line. If he was in a 352 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: different situation, if he was behind that Dallas offensive line, 353 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: I think he'd be an RB one. He's really a 354 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: talented player. He's got a great athletic profile. But not 355 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: this year. Not happening. Yeah, no doubt about it. And 356 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: then you get thrown off by injury, and it just 357 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: stacks the deck against you even more. Let's talk about 358 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: some of these wide receivers, and the big news coming 359 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: out is that al Shan Jeffrey is going to be 360 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: suspending four games for peed use. What Oh, that's just crazy. 361 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: That broke right before we hopped on with you, and 362 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: we are just as in shock as you are. I mean, 363 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: usually when when a guy gets popped for peeds, you 364 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: know you go oh okay, all right, that's why he 365 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: was doing so that's why Antonio Gates was doing good 366 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: late in his career. But this was the worst we've 367 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: seen now. So I don't blame him. I blame more 368 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: of the quarterback situation. But very surprise when someone who's 369 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: disappointed the way Alshan has comes out and goes, yeah, 370 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: I was I was also taking performance enhancing I mean, 371 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: he didn't come out, you know. I think you can 372 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: still play that angle because Alshon Jeffrey every single season 373 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: has a soft tissue issue and maybe these pegs were 374 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: keeping him healthy somehow there was something going on. I mean, 375 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: I was shocked he lasted as long as he did. 376 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: It was only a matter of time, you know. And 377 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: if you want to just start speculating, this is, you know, 378 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: he franchise tag year, free agent type of year. Maybe 379 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: he wanted to ensure that that label didn't go with him, 380 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: and now he's got a different label going with him. 381 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: But very surprising, certainly for fantasy owners. And now I'm 382 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: sure you're wondering which Chicago Bear wide receiver do you 383 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: scramble for. I think it's Cameron Meredith. I have him 384 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: right behind Jeremy Langford is the number one option. What 385 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: do you guys think, is it Eddie Royal? Maybe I 386 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: lean Royal. You know, Meredith has only had one catch 387 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: in each of the past three weeks, and obviously without 388 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: Jeffrey there, Cutler's going to have to lock in on 389 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: somebody else. That's what Cutler does, and John Fox has 390 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: already come out and kind of said, hey, we're gonna 391 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: stick with Jay Cutler at the quarterback position. You know, 392 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: I don't mind a flyer on Meredith. To be honest, 393 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: if you asked me between the two guys, that'd probably 394 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: take whichever one costs me less on the waiver wire 395 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: to have that flyer. So if you're spending fab money, 396 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: whoever's cheaper, you know, Meredith is a better big play guy. 397 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: I think in a full PPR, i'd rather have Royal, Yeah, 398 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: I would. I personally, I would rather take Cameron Meredith 399 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: to split the split the vote here. I mean, I 400 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: agree that Meredith hasn't done much. One catch in the 401 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: last two games, but that's also one more catch than 402 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Eddie Royal in the last two games, so well, they 403 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: both had one. They both had one this past week. Correct, 404 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler is so bad that it might just be 405 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: better just to leave him both alone. Yeah, Zach Miller. 406 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: Miller the biggest beneficiary of this, Maybe I believe he is. 407 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: Zach Miller was terrible until garbage time too. I mean 408 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: what he had one catch for thirteen yards and all 409 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden they've gotten thirty points and tossing them 410 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: ball every play. We had a lot of expectations for 411 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: this game two to be something that, you know, both 412 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: sides would put up numbers. Chicago obviously fell flat. Yeah, yeah, 413 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: they killed me in DFS. I thought, with this Tampa 414 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers defense, it's just abysmal, and then Shake Cutler 415 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: just goes up and lays a turret. It was horrible, 416 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. We were all disappointed in that. 417 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: I think we had two or three bears in our 418 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: starts of the week just thinking this game looked like 419 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: a fantasy bananza, but it wasn't. So who do you 420 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: guys have at the top for wide receivers? And Tyreek Hill, 421 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, maybe even Taylor Gabriel. Well, people shouldn't forget 422 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: about Woods coming off the bye week. Dust for sure. 423 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: A lot of the times that happens in fantasy leagues 424 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: where the bye week teams you start looking at all 425 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: the big numbers from this past week and you forget 426 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: about him. You know, obviously, if you're in a league 427 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: where Steve Smith is still out there, you know he 428 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: off the injury, he came right back in to eighty 429 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: five percent snap count the first week back. We have 430 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: him down for only eighty percent owned, and so Steve 431 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: Smith is the guy. Him and Richard Matthews have to 432 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: be the two that I'd love to talk about the 433 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: most that we planned to talk about tomorrow, especially Richard 434 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: Matthews on this tear right now. Yeah, since week four, 435 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: and you know it's look when you see Rashard Matthews 436 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: getting it done the way he's getting it done, which 437 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: is low volume, touchdown dependent, that's usually where we avoid it. 438 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: But at some point you've got to realize he is 439 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: a part of the game plan like that since week 440 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: four and this kind of blows your mind. You go, okay, well, 441 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: who are the top five wide receivers. You got, Julio 442 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: you got, you know, Antonio Brown, you got Mike Evans, 443 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: And sitting there at number five from from week four 444 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: on is Rochard, Matthew Wayt, thanks yeah, and number four 445 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: is Davante Adams. So I mean you've seen it enough 446 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: to where I think he's worth a flyer. I don't 447 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: expect him by any means to keep up this pace 448 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: with the you know, the passing game there. But you know, 449 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: this week, I believe he's playing in Indianapolis. You can 450 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: roll him out there. And another name that I think 451 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: is worth looking at, uh, you know above like Taylor 452 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: Gabriel looks great, but he's going into his bye week. 453 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: That's not going to help much and you'll probably be 454 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: able to pick him up next week off of that. 455 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: By but Eli Rodgers has come back off of his injury. 456 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: We saw Wheaton is seeing a doctor again about the shoulder. 457 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 1: He's hoping he's not done for the season. And in 458 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: the last two games, you've had two decent fantasy relevant 459 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: games for Eli Rodgers a total of ten catches, one 460 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards in a touchdown over the 461 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: last two weeks, and he's widely available. I'm really intrigued 462 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: by Marquis Lee. Still, he's sitting there at four point 463 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: four percent owned, and he's still the number two guy 464 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, who's always going to be playing from behind, 465 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: always going to be flinging the ball over the yard 466 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: with Blake Bortles. And look, I know he's not very good, 467 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: but if Lee keeps getting that many targets, I just 468 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: don't understand why people aren't picking up. He's a world 469 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: class athlete. He's capable of being a very good football player. 470 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: I can tell you why people aren't picking him up. 471 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: And I get the argument for him, right. I mean, 472 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: he's had plenty of weeks this year where he's had 473 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: five or more receptions. That's that's what you want for predictability. 474 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: But he has had exactly zero weeks this year where 475 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: he's gotten in the end zone. And he strikes me 476 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: as that type of player. They use him a lot 477 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: in the screen game and in short yardage situations where 478 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: you know he might get five catches for forty yards 479 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: and never get that touchdown. So if I'm rolling out 480 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: a Marquise Lee or a Richard Matthews, they can both 481 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: end up with three for thirty five or five for forty. 482 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: But I want the guy who has a chance at 483 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: ending up with a touchdown versus the guy that I 484 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: have a less realistic chance of Well, I think you 485 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: have to start putting Alan Hearns out of your mind 486 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: as what he was last year. Obviously. I mean I 487 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: think I found, you know, you got that time Hoop 488 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: app on your phone sometimes the way you can see 489 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: what you posted on social media years ago. And a 490 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: couple days ago, I found a post that we posted 491 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: a year ago, and it was like Alan Hearns and 492 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: Alan Robinson or the first wide receiver combo with six 493 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: plus touchdowns and blank plus yards at this point in 494 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: the season, and it just made you remember what had 495 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: been for Alan Hearns and that offense and it just 496 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: isn't the case anymore. And you know, part of it, 497 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: you can track it to everything, right, like bad mechanics 498 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: for Blake Bortles and all these different things. Part of 499 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: it just seems like they have broadened kind of the 500 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: targets out and not going to these best players. I mean, 501 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: I know Lee was injured and not involved early, and 502 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: you're right about him, especially, you know his quickness and 503 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: the things he can do, and I think he's supplanted 504 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Alan Hearns. But you know, they've just gone around, gone 505 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: away from what they had last year with these two 506 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: deep threats with Hearns with Robinson. It just doesn't you know, 507 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: you remember last year they didn't even have Julius Thomas 508 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: to start the year when they were on fire, and 509 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: now you kind of have all these different targets, but 510 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: nothing's jelling in Jackson. The one thing I will say 511 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: in the pro of picking up Marquis Lee, if your 512 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: options are limited, you know, if your waiver some of 513 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: these bigger names we talked about, they're not out there. 514 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: Marky Lee does have talent and is getting targets and 515 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: faces Detroit the Lions this week, so you know that 516 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: might be the look the Detroit for the passing game 517 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: is an ailment for those who can't score touchdowns, and 518 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: so that line's right up for markis Lee being able 519 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: to find hand one of those. Another one of these 520 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: type of players is Pierre Garson. He's got forty two receptions, 521 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: He's got six in both in the past two weeks, 522 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: one of them was against Minnesota, but he's only got 523 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: one touchdown. Is he someone that would be on your radar? 524 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Isn't the same type of thing If Pierre Garson fits 525 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: into that narrow category. You know, obviously if Deshaun Jackson's 526 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: off the field. Garson's targets go out, but he fits 527 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 1: into that category for me of the guy that, Okay, 528 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm a big favorite this week, and I didn't to 529 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: just make sure that there are some catches in that 530 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver two or three slot. That's where Garson he 531 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: doesn't excite me. He doesn't make me look forward to 532 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: the potential of some of the you know, you have 533 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: these boom bus kind of guys that can you know, 534 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: blow up for you. I don't think you can get 535 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: that out of Garson. I think he's tried and true. 536 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: But you know, another name that is definitely worth mentioning 537 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: because it is the reason I see as part of 538 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: the reason why Pierre Garson hasn't been scoring as much 539 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: is Jamison Crowder. We kind of he's been so good 540 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: for so long this season that we forget he's only 541 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: owned in fifty eight percent of leagues right now. Now. 542 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: He should It is nuts, he should be owning one hundred. 543 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: He should be started in every league right now. I 544 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: mean he's since Week two, he's been double digits every 545 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: single week except for one. In a half point PPR 546 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: scoring system, he's been used in the red zone. At 547 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: the top of the NFL. You look at the guys 548 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: getting red zone targets and goal line targets. You know 549 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: you got the names that you expect in there. And 550 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: the one guy that always has popped out this season 551 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: and has stayed up there as Jamison Crowder. So if 552 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: he's on your waivers, I would put him ahead of 553 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: almost everybody we've talked about. Speaking of those type of players, 554 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't mentioned him in the right backs 555 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: because on this show we tend to not talk about 556 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: guys unless they're under fifty percent owned. But in a 557 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of these smaller leagues EJ. Pro Size, James Starks, 558 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: they're starting running backs in the NFL and they're available. 559 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: And look, I know Prosis is behind a terrible offensive line, 560 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: but he's getting it done and he's got some serious upside. 561 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: So I would say, if those guys are available in 562 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: your league, pick him up, make it a priority, especially 563 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: pro Sie. I can't disagree with you. One hundred and 564 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: fifty three totally yards against New England and he's out 565 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: there in a lot of leagues right now. I still believe, 566 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of this is just how I 567 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: feel about the circumstances. I still believe this backfield ends 568 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: up with a first and second down rawls for the 569 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: majority of the time, and third downs to pro Sie. 570 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, they obviously like pro size, and they obviously 571 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: moved a different direction this past week. But you know, 572 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: he's definitely in that category of must ads. And if 573 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: Ralls does not come back for week eleven, or even 574 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: if he does, I think he's probably startable. Let's move 575 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: over and talk about some of these tight ends. You've 576 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: got Hunter Henry who played a little bit last week. 577 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: He's coming back from an injury. Intuno Gates has kind 578 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: of taken over as the starter there, but if you 579 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: look at performance, Henry has been a lot better. Is 580 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: he going to take this job back? While he should? 581 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: You know, I think in a normal circumstance, he's clearly 582 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: a better athlete and a better weapon. But the chemistry 583 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: between Rivers and Gates will keep Gates relevant, I think, 584 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: And unfortunately that that's just one of those things where, uh, 585 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, good luck predicting which guy gets the end 586 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,719 Speaker 1: zone targets and comes comes down with them. It doesn't 587 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: help Gates at Henry's back, that's for sure. Yeah, Henry 588 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: looks great, and he's doing a lot of his damage 589 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: out of the slot. Even in you know, you can 590 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: have both guys on the field, especially while Travis Benjamin 591 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: is out just such a such a great tanem of 592 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: red zone targets. The worry here is that you know, 593 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: over the past month, you still don't have a game 594 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: where Hunter Henry's had more than two receptions, So it's 595 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: very difficult to start him. If you did, if you 596 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: threw that dart, you might be able to you might 597 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: be able to come away happy. But he's just not 598 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: not really having the volume that I would prefer in 599 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: a starter for Dynasty leagues in two or three years. 600 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: Are we talking about Hunter Henry's being one of the 601 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: top two or three tight ends. Yes, I think so. Yeah, 602 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: I think he's a superstar in the make. I love 603 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: watching this guy, and it's just amazing to me that 604 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: Antonio Gates is still how they're getting snaps when you've 605 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: got this guy is the future in your lineup and 606 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers aren't going anywhere. I mean, I 607 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: know they're trying to set records and stuff, but it's great. 608 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: It's what I was gonna say. They apparently want that 609 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: touchdown record for gigs. Yeah. The other tight ends, We've 610 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: got Fedorowitz for Houston, who scores a touchdown all the 611 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: time and always proves me wrong. And then Ladarius Green, 612 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: He's got some upside. Which are these guys do you prefer? Yeah? 613 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: Those are two of the three names I have down 614 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: on my list for sure, the other one being Cameron brad. 615 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: You know, Green is somebody that you know, first game 616 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: back three catches, gets to go play a pretend, you know, 617 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: a home on the road game in Cleveland, and he's 618 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: worth a flyer. You know, we have this phrase we 619 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: refer to as barfe tight ends. There's this whole category 620 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: of guys that are just kind of I mean, it's 621 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: almost flip a coin, pick one of them, play them, 622 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: throw them away, grab another one, draw him out of 623 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: a hat. Yeah, I mean it's just is Green a 624 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: talent that can usurp that Barfey tight end category? Maybe 625 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: maybe he is. I mean, clearly Wheaton is not involved there. 626 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: Clearly you haven't gotten much from Coats. So is Green 627 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: somebody that can step in and do it? You know, 628 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's probably worth a flyer, but i'd 629 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: rather have Cameron Bright right now, I can tell you 630 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: that for all these people really excited about Vernon Davis, 631 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I understand they're getting two tight ends on 632 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: the field some of these plays, but I just don't 633 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: see this keeping up. Are you guys with me or 634 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: is he actually worthy of being discussed? No, I am 635 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: personally with you. I can't imagine he keeps up this space. Now. 636 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: You know who doesn't like him is the Jordan Reed owner. Oh, yes, 637 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: that's me. You know a lot of people when you're 638 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: when you're talking about a month where you have no 639 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: games under fifty yards at the tight end position, you 640 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: gotta start paying attention. You can't just close your eyes 641 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: and put the blindfold on and say it can't keep happening. 642 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing it sustains for the 643 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: rest of the season, especially at Vernon Davis's age and 644 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: what we've seen over the last few years. So I'm 645 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: with you. I don't think it's gonna happen. But if 646 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: if he goes out and puts up another good game 647 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: against Green Bay, I think at that point you got 648 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: to you gotta pay attention. You know, double digits, four 649 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: straight weeks of double digits. I mean, I mean all 650 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: these if you're rolling Kobe Fleaner out there, you're starting 651 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: to wonder if you need to make a switch, you know, 652 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: and put somebody in. It's hard to it's hard when 653 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: it's not the premier, number one tight end on the roster. 654 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: But maybe you don't have to think about it that way. 655 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing to me. But but he's producing 656 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: all right, guys. Finally, defense special teams, streamer pickups. Last week, 657 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: we had a lot of good options. We had four 658 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: or five that I wouldn't mind plugging in my lineup. Um, 659 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: this week I only see one and it's Pittsburgh at 660 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland and who holse do you guys like? Oh, there's 661 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: a lot this week for me? I feel like this 662 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: week I like Miami. Um, their defense is stepped up 663 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: in the real in real life, in the real NFL. 664 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: They've got the talent on defense and they're playing the Rams. 665 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: I also love the Patriots. They're they're you know, still 666 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: available on a lot of waivers. They play San Francisco 667 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: this week. Those are the two that I'm looking for, uh, 668 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: the most on my waivers. And if if the Rams 669 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: are still out there. I mean, they face Miami. The 670 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: Rams have only given up nineteen total points over the 671 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: last two weeks, so they come to mind. And if 672 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: if you want to roll the dice, okay, you need 673 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: to roll the dice on a defense the Raiders at 674 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: home off the by against brock Osweiler, you could do worse. 675 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: You could do worse, I think, because you saw the 676 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: Raiders step it up in their last game, and uh, 677 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, brock Osweiler makes a lot of defending players 678 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: look pretty good. And I'll throw out one last one, 679 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: which is the Cowboys. They didn't do that well this 680 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: previous week, but no one expected them too against Pittsburgh 681 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: in a high scoring game. But now they're gonna face Baltimore, 682 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: who is near the bottom of the league in total 683 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: points scored per game. So I do think there are 684 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: enough streaming options this week to get you get you done. 685 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: You guys changed my mind. That that makes me feel 686 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: a lot better, because you know, I might not be 687 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: able to get Pittsburgh. One other one that comes to mind, 688 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: and don't laugh at me for this, but it's Detroit, 689 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: Detroit at home against Blake Gordles, And look, I know 690 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: we already talked about how Detroit is one of the 691 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: worst defenses in the league, but so did the Buccaneers, 692 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: and their defense special team scored twenty four points last week, 693 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: so maybe this is the week for the Lions. Are 694 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: those are the hardest situations when you have a and 695 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: I kind of view it the same way even with 696 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: Kaepernick when you said the Patriots d is when you 697 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: have a turnover prone or mistake prone quarterback on an 698 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: offense that can score a lot of points. Those are 699 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: the hardest defensive place for me because I just I 700 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: always like to go with that kind of bottom of 701 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: the yarral offense. But ye're right, you know, those are 702 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: the ones I forget to play. If you could just 703 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: cut it off in the third quarter, man, just play 704 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville every week and you'll be at the garbage 705 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: time like, oh, I'm glad I played this. D oh wait, 706 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: no stop. I'm the opposite of you, guys. I always 707 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,959 Speaker 1: go for the teams that have a chance to score 708 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and pretty much that's always Blake Bortles or 709 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 1: case Keenum, Jay Cutler, J Cutler, you have brock oswile 710 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: there's some real good options. I mean, you could just 711 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: stream defenses all season, just going against US quarterbacks. Yeah, 712 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: you're probably right, You're probably right. All right, guys. Well 713 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: that's all the questions I have for you this week. 714 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for coming on.
