00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome to the daily NFL Fantasy Live podcasts.

00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,600

Speaker 1: We'll preview a ton of game, tell you what sleepers

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: we like this weekend. There will be some Chumba Womber

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: references on the show, because I will tell you that

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: I will rank the whisky breek ahead of the bike

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: could drink, but the longer drink really comes in strong.

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Maybe just to touch ahead of the sider drink. All right,

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: very a? You see Akbar? What about you? I still

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: don't know what you gotta talking about that? It sounds

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: like you're trying to say my name with food in

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: your mouth. What people we should call you that? We

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: should write that and say bar Chubba womba, No, just

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: call me? How about just call you a bark? All right?

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Very good? Tons of stuff coming your way. And tub thumper.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: Tub thumper is is to tub is when you stay

00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: in the tub, and what do you do and you

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: take a bath? That's tough. Something just don't fall. Podcast

00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: is on the way. What is going on in America?

00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: on in the show today. Which one you're worried about

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: the most? We're about Scott Porter. I'm worried about all

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: of them. I want to win all of them. Record.

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm playing against Rich j Ackerman, my buddy from w

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: f A N So I'm worried about all of them. Man.

33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm picking up defenses so they can't get them. I'm

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: picking up quarterbacks for tiebreakers. It's been a busy week.

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: It feels good. All right. We'll have some more big

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: spots starts coming up later on in the show, but

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: now let's send it over to Adam Rank and Marcus Grant,

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: who we're standing by with the latest fantasy headlines. Thank you,

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Jason the Fantasy Professor, Marcus Grant and I here with

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: your latest fantasy headlines for Friday. We start with Packers

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has been ruled out Sunday versus

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Here's what Packers coach Mike McCarthy had to

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: say on Friday. Well, Aaron Rodgers has been declared out

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: for the game, just as as we do every week.

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: A lot of conversation obviously about Aaron everybody involved with it.

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: As an organization, we feel that we're already for him

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: to play. Marcus, I don't want to speak for you,

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say, we're not starting Matt Flynn. We're

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: not starting Matt Flynn. What about Jordy Nelson. What does

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: this do for his value? I think you still start

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: Jordia Nelson. You maybe are tempering your expectations a little

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: more for Nelson, But he's such a playmaker. He's such

53
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: a big part of that offense. And even if Matt

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: Flynn doesn't have a huge game, Jordian Nelson can still

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: be productive. If your fantasy championship ends in Week sixteen

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: and you have Aaron Rodgers, do you hold onto him

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: just so he gets a share of the title. I

58
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: think you know he gets to get the playoff share. Right,

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: it's the classy thing to do. That's the right thing

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: to do, alright. Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz underwent authroscopic

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: surgery on his leftnee on Thursday and was placed on

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: season ending I R. Ruben Randalls slides into the starting

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: lineup for the g Men. Is he a better start

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: than Key Knicks? Yes, but only slightly. I mean, the

65
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: way it's been going, the Titans or the opposing defense

66
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: is likely to get their hands on just as many

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: footballs as as Ruben Randall or Hakeem Nicks are. So

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: I think you stay with whoever you're starting. You stay

69
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: away from Giants wide receivers. Good good piece of advice.

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: And in Washington, tight end Jordan Reid was also placed

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: on season ending I are after suffering for lingering effects

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: of a concussion. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is a guy we're

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about a lot in today's show and has

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup one that we like. But is

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: it enough to pick up his backup Logan Pulsing It

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: is not. It's either Logan Pulson or Fred Davis the

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna step in in place of Jordan Reid,

78
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: but neither of those guys have been consistent enough that

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: you take a chance on, especially with some other good

80
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: tight ends potentially on the way for them. We'll talk

81
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: about some of those tight end pickups later on in

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the show, but right now, let's take a look at

83
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: the latest in jury report for Friday, December. We're looking

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: at Eddie Lacey. He practiced on Friday. He's battling through

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: an ankle injury. Tavon Austin also has some injury concerns,

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: as does t Y Hilton and some other names. Of course,

87
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: we know some of these guys. Wes Welker, Jordan Cameroner,

88
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Altmore are those guys. In just a moment, we'll go

89
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: to Adrian Peterson, who is limited in practice on Friday,

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: and coach Leslie Fraser said, as long as there's no

91
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: setback on Saturday, Peterson should play. Peterson is officially listed

92
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: as questionable, but do you go with him if he starts.

93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: If Adrian Peterson starts, to put him in your lineup

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: and you talk about sticking with your studs in week sixteen,

95
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: he is one of the ultimate fantasy studs. I don't

96
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: know that you can trust, so we Gerhard or Matt

97
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: Ascot if it comes down to it. But if Peterson plays,

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: you put him in your lineup. And Jacksonville running back

99
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew was held out of practice again with

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. Backup Jordan Codman had a pretty stellar

101
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: week in Week fifteen filling in for m j d

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: He rushed for one nine yards. He pulled in four

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: catches on eight targets, report at four yards against the Bills.

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: Do you like him this one? I like him. If

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: he's playing, I like whatever. Jaguars running back, it's gonna

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: be back there. If it's Jones Drew, you play him.

107
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: If it's Jordan Todman, you play him. Yeah, he's a Toman.

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: Is a great start because that Titans defense doesn't seem

109
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: to stop a lot of people, especially on the ground.

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: We'll move on to Denver here. Broncos wide receiver Wes

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Welker has been ruled out for Sunday. Andre called Well

112
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: fielding pretty well in Week fifteen, had two touchdowns on

113
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: fifty nine receiving guards. But Marcus, are you playing Andre

114
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: Caldwell in your fantasy Championship? You are not playing Andre

115
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: Caldwell in your Fantasy Championship. He's one of those guys

116
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: who just kind of pops up, has a big week.

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: But you talk about putting him in that is the

118
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: definition of chasing the points. Doesn't hurt Eric Decker or

119
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Damarus Thomas to not have Welker on the field. I

120
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: don't think it does. I think both those guys are

121
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: still big parts of the offense. Certainly Julius Thomas another

122
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna see a lot of targets. I think

123
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: both of those are. All three of those guys are

124
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: guys you can trust. Okay. In Cleveland Titan, Jordan Cameron

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: has been ruled out for this weekend's game versus the

126
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: Jets due to lingering concussions, and him'll have some replacement

127
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: options for him if you own Cameron. We'll do that

128
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in our spots starts, But

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: right now, let's send it back to Jason Smith and

130
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the guys. All right, thank you very much, Mr rank

131
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: THO is your latest Fantasy headlines for Friday, December twenty.

132
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I gotta say, you're really bummed. If

133
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: you own Aaron Rodgers. You're hoping he was going to

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: come back this season. Now you realize you had to

135
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: navigate the rest of your season without him. The good thing, though,

136
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and it's a shame that he's been injured, is that

137
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is so deep that you don't lose

138
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: a Ton. Losing Aaron Rodgers, Hey, you could have picked

139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: up Nick Foles, you could pick up Jake Color. These

140
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: guys are playing well. Kirk Cousins is going to be

141
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the starter. Kirk Cousins for a lot of fantasy teams

142
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: in their championship. Quarterback is easier to make up for

143
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: than a lot of spots. But the thing that I'm

144
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: concerned about the people that who were relying on the

145
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: guys like Jordy Nelson, you know, guys like that. Those

146
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: guys become effective. When you look at the production with

147
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the game, huge difference when we look

148
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: at him without there, You don't you lose the explosive place.

149
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: You lose the amount of touchdowns, all those numbers dropping.

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Those are all important numbers when he comes to fantasy points.

151
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: All right, So who do we like this week quarterback wise?

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Here's our NFL dot Com aggregate rankings one through ten

153
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: for Week sixteen. Payton manning number one, Nick Foles, Cam Newton,

154
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: you can go pick up Jay Cutler. You can go

155
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: pick up a guy like Andy Dalton sitting there at

156
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: number nine, who has a phenomenal matchup against Minnesota this week. Fabs.

157
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Eddie Dalton's a guy people are gonna look back after

158
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: this week and say he won me my championship. Very inconsistent,

159
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: but he's better at home. And what a matchup he's

160
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: got this weekend against the Vikings. They've given up the

161
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: most fantasy points per game the quarterbacks over the last

162
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: four weeks and thirty two touchdown passes overall. That's the

163
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: most of the National Football League. Andy Dalton is a

164
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: better start than Tom Brady this week. Guys. He has

165
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: a better start than Mr Brady. I like it. Let's

166
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: move on to the running backs. Now here's our rankings

167
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: one through ten four week sixteen named Jamal Charles is someone. Yeah,

168
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: he's the top of this list with a bullet as

169
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: he has been. Not for Ta Las Shawn McCoy both

170
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: really coming on strong, having phenomenal years. Eddie Lacey Levy

171
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: on Bell on this list, No, Sean Marino, you were

172
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: it a little bit about no show on at Houston

173
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Fas may lose some of these carries here. He's been

174
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: so good. How do you bench this guy? He has

175
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: been so fantastic. I think he's this year's Alfred Morris.

176
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at eleven through twenty. Alfred Morris

177
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: is a very good start this week because he's played

178
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: the plays the Cowboys who are awful against the run,

179
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: and he's dominated them most of this season five touched

180
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: and most of his career five touchdowns, three career games.

181
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Zach Stacy is big, Reggie Bush can have a big game.

182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: Frank Gore Bobby Rainy's a great matchup. There's a lot

183
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 1: of depth at running back, and as we talked about

184
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Tommy as a guy on this list, now sitting

185
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: there at number eleven is Ryan Matthews. Ok bar, everybody

186
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: stopped leaving in him and he started playing great. Well

187
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: he kind of wait, does he add well? I think

188
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a huge week against the Oakland Raiders.

189
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: I've always said that it takes ten seconds to lose trust,

190
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: and it takes in football ten games to regain trust.

191
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: If you have been over the last ten games regained

192
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: your trust in Ryan Matthews. Then I believe that you're

193
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: sleeping on your fantasy student will right now because when

194
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: you look at the time of productions that this year,

195
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty six times he's ran the ball,

196
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: he's giving you over a thou Is in yards. Now,

197
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: I say that Ryan Matthews tried to have a very

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: big game against the defense that is struggling against a run.

199
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews is a big time play at worst, he's

200
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: a high end too, and that's it worse for Ryan

201
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: Matthews this week. Here's a wide receiver rankings one through ten.

202
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson barely holding off Josh Gordon, who's got a

203
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: great match against the Jets this week. Keenan Allen, Pierre Garsona,

204
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown rounding out the top ten. Alshon Jeffrey up

205
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: there right behind Brandon Marshall. But fatis that's close, very close.

206
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: It's six and one half dozen of the other. They're

207
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: both very good starts this week. Keenan Allen against the Raiders,

208
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: a great start. Look through eleven through twenty two. Sean Jackson,

209
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, who is the most targeted wide receiver in

210
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the game this year, Tory Smith, Marcus Colston kind of

211
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: slide in their fatis. How confident are you in these guys?

212
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: I really see that more as twos or threes. Colston

213
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: does not have a good history in Carolina. Someone really

214
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: coming on lately is Kendall Wright twenty targets a week ago,

215
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: really getting that rapport with Ryan Fitzpatrick. What kind of

216
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: started you this week? The Amish rifle? Your boy right

217
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: when you're eyes from a couple of weeks ago. Kendall

218
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: Wright is a fantastic start, especially in PPR leagues. This

219
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: is a great match up against Jacksonville. They've given up

220
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: the ninth most Fantasy points to wide receivers over the

221
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: last four weeks. Now he doesn't sport touchdown, so he

222
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: loses a little bit of his bluster. It's standard leaks,

223
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: but PPR he's a two right now, Jason. Let's move

224
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: on to the tight ends. One through ten weeks sixteen rankings.

225
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: You know there's some guys out and you you have to

226
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: play some players. Vernon Davis number one, Jimmy Graham number two,

227
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, there's Dennis Pinto fabs all the way up

228
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: there at number five. This is a guy who was

229
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: available for anybody to go get a couple of weeks

230
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: ago and a good matchup against the Patriots. Start up

231
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Charles Clay there at number ten against Buffalo off bar.

232
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: He's really become the unsung hero of this offense. He

233
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: really has. I mean, just think about his production so

234
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: far this season. He's had seven total touchdowns this year

235
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: and that's the most on the team. And the way

236
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: they're able to utilize him as they can use him

237
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: in mismatch situations, especially against the linebackers. And I know

238
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: that last week against the Patriots he struggled. He got

239
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: a little outdone by Michael Egnew, But that's just one game.

240
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: I think can go back and you can rely on

241
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: Charles play. The way he's out there now running his route,

242
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: he's crisper with his routes. I saw him in college,

243
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: really good fullback turned into a tight end. So he's

244
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: the guy that has some versatility to his game. You

245
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: can trust him in the championship game if you need him.

246
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: There's worse guys out there than Charles. Terry Kirby, Terry Kirby,

247
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: that name, where's forty two like Terry Kurry but NFL

248

256
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Will it be the Cowboys and the Redskins? Unless you're

257
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: playing Josh Gordon, it probably won't be the Browns and

258
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the Jets. Take a look at some of the late

Speaker 1: players we're watching for different reasons to lock bark, kick

277
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: things off. Steelers and the Packers. Who wins who you're

278
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: keeping an eye? You know, I love this game when

279
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: you look at this game. Of course, the Packers need

280
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: to win the final two games to be a top

281
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: of the NFC North and captured that. But they have

282
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: to get through to Pittsburgh Steels. But this is a

283
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: great opportunity if you're like me, not in a championship

284
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: game to see two running backs. They're gonna be the

285
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: future for two thousand fourteen. We start off with Eddie Lacey.

286
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is going to be the staple. Is game

287
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: now he's coming off of a mini slump he had,

288
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: and when you look at the last two games he

289
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: had before the Dallas Cowboys, he had very poor production,

290
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: but came off strong with a hundred and forty one

291
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: yards against the Dallas Cowboys. So you know that this

292
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: offense runs store with him, and he's going up against

293
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers defense run defense that's not all that strong,

294
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: not the defense that we've become accustomed to. But on

295
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: the other side, Levian Bell again, feen right around the

296
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: corner Happy New Year's because you're gonna look at Legan Bell.

297
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna see them feature him in this game. I

298
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: think this is a great opportunity right now for him

299
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: to take a hold of this two thousand fourteen class

300
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: because he is a great running back. And we get

301
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: a first look at Mike Tomlin saying, no, it's easy

302
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: to take Lavian Bell already, Lacey. We'll find out on

303
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: Sunday if that's the case. A another game we're looking

304
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,479
Speaker 1: at here Vikings and the Bengals. This one a phenomenal

305
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: matchup for anyone in the Bengals uniform. I like Cincinnati

306
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: and this one seventeen. This is where they kind of

307
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: start taking off like them as a very dangerous team

308
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, especially if you're playing playoff challenge. That

309
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: could be a team that wins it for you there.

310
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: But this week you will love playing Giovanni Bernard ten

311
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: a more fantasy points and two of his last three games.

312
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: We know how bad Minnesota is against the past, which

313
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: is where he does a lot of his damage come

314
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: getting passes out of the backfield, but they're also pretty

315
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: bad against the run. They're bad overall in Minnesota. Seventh

316
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running backs. This is one of

317
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: those weeks you play him has a running back to

318
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: as high as that. If you need to, he'll give

319
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: you a huge game. Cordarrell Patterson very interesting guy. You

320
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: can flex him. Three touchdowns in his last six games,

321
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: thirty seven targets in the last five games, the most

322
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: on the team. They are looking for him. They want

323
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: him to be a big part of this offense, and

324
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: in a game where they're gonna have to throw the

325
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: football to keep up, Cordarill Patterson is a very good flex.

326
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Oakland, San Diego. One of the

327
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: late games, right clegotten This one. I like the Chargers

328
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: to win this one thirty three two. Sorry, actually, I

329
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: guess both of these are acquires teams and one guy

330
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: that I will both of your former squads, I can't help.

331
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: The one player that I will definitely be watch to

332
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: this week is Keenan Allen, a guy that we liked

333
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: going into the preseason and we were comparing him to

334
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: an Kuan Bolden and the impact that he had made

335
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: when he first joined the Arizona Cardinals. Now, Keenan Allen

336
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: might not get to one hundred receptions, but he does

337
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: lead all rookie receivers with nine hundred and thirty one

338
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: yards and he has become Philip rivers top option in

339
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: that offense. So he has a great start this week.

340
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: And a guy who might also be a good start

341
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: is Rod Streeter. Matt mcgloyan has definitely looked his way

342
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: this season. He has developed the chemistry with him and

343
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: now he has started to become one of those guys

344
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: that you can trust in your fan, especially if you're

345
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: playing three receivers run Streeter. That's a good good matchup. Wellow,

346
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: let's move on to the Bears and the Eagles, one

347
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: of the more interesting games the night game on Sunday, Marcus,

348
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: what do you have this? And it will be a

349
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: fantasy bone Man's absolutely. I think the Eagles pool are

350
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bears rather the Eagles pulled us out. I'll get

351
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: it right one of these times, and I think it's

352
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna set up a really interesting show down in the the

353
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: NFC North next week. But the guy I'm keeping my

354
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: eye on is Nick Foles. He's and fantastic for you

355
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: all season long. He really turned things around for the

356
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Eagles when he took over at the quarterback spot. He's

357
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: turned things around for fantasy owners as well. He even

358
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: came up big in the Great NFL Blizzard of two

359
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen. I think you can count on him this

360
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: week most because it doesn't turn the football over three

361
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: turnovers all season long. Switching to the other side, you

362
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: gotta like Jay Cutler. He came back from injury, played

363
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: very well how to slow start with pick things up.

364
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: He's really getting the ball to his guys all Sean

365
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall. It helps with Jeffrey's making great

366
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: catches like that in traffic. But certainly Jay Cutler is

367
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: a guy you can trust, have to live with a

368
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: couple of picks just who he is, but Culor is

369
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: a guy I really like. I think that if you

370
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: have both, which some people seem to do, I think

371
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: he go folds a little bit over Cutler this week.

372
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that one. Moving forward, this

373
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: is the last week you're gonna start having thinking a

374
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks about do we sit starters? Do we

375
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: move forward? How scared do you guys about that as

376
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: we get deeper into the season. I'm not. I mean,

377
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: as long as you have your Fantasy championship in Week sixteen,

378
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: as America intended to, it shouldn't be too much of

379
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: an issue. I agree with that. I think you go

380
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: with the guys who got you there, and you take

381
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: your chances. I think for most teams it's not really

382
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: an issue. A lot of teams are still fighting for

383
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: playoff spots. Yeah, don't overthink it. All right, there we go.

384
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: It's it's sometimes it's that simple. Let's take a look

385
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: at our recap board of our pick ums who we

386
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: like this week. It's a clean suite for the Packers

387
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: and the Bengals on the lone Wolf there for the

388
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: Raiders of bar I I got it back up there.

389
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: I think maybe, but he's a Raider to me and

390
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Adam Rank out there that the Bears are going to

391
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles again. Go to NFL dot com slash

392
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: pick um to join when NFL Fantasy Live returns. He

393
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: booted the Ravens to a six field goal inspired victory

394
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: and alterned thousands of Fantasy Championship results with this late

395

00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: game winning for the last minute this long. I'm glad

398
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: to come through on the way for my team here,

Speaker 1: game after you made that kick, How long after did

410
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: you realize, Hey, I also won my fantasy league too,

411
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: when I'm playing for the championship. Yeah, well, here's the

412
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's like I might have embellished a

413
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: little bit. I didn't win my fantasy league. I don't

414
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: even know if I won my game. I don't know.

415
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: I've got some points. But uh, but uh, you know,

416
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even make the fantasy playoffs for my my league.

417
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not one to pack it in. I wanted

418
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: to put my best effort out there. Uh, you know,

419
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: obviously with the reality team first and foremost, but uh,

420
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: with the fantasy team as well. You know, you've got

421
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: to make those minor adjustments throughout the week, check the way,

422
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: require all that sort of stuff. That's good, Uh, you know,

423
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: good fantasy fundamentals, regardless of whether or not you have

424
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: a chance to win the championship. Hey, what are some

425
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: of the crazier things would happened in the past four

426
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: days as a result of these kicks? Uh? Some of

427
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: the crazy things have just been uh not necessarily crazy things.

428
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: It's actually been really nice. A lot of people reaching

429
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: out on social media on on on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,

430
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: like those sorts of things and just offering kind words. Um,

431
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people offering thanks for their fantasy teams, uh,

432
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, getting them into giving them there there that

433
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: you know that push it for points and that last

434
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: uh you want that last kick that we made there.

435
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: But uh, some of the some of the cool things

436
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: as well have been guys around the league. Uh you know,

437
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have a comment here there that's that's pretty cool.

438
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: I saw Aaron Rodgers had something nice to say. Um,

439
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: Bobby Gold texted me, which is which is nice to him? Um,

440
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: and then a number of other guys as well have

441
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: offered their uh, their kind words. Just another kicker who

442
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: plays Blair Walsh is a big fantasy guy as well.

443
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna take a look at your roster,

444
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: uh from the two thousand and thirteen season, and I

445
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: see a lot of Ravens on their Ray Rice to

446
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: re smit yourself the Ravens defense, so you're true to

447
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: your team. I have a question for you though a

448
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of people still alive they've been playing Ray Rice

449
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: all season long. To me, he hasn't been healthy. That

450
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: hip has been bothering him. He's having a down season.

451
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: What do you have to say about Ray Rice? Would

452
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: you stick with him this week? There's no question I

453
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: would stick with Ray Rice. You know, I'll ride with

454
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: Ray any day of the week. Uh, you know, not

455
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: just on my fantasy team, but uh, you know, he's

456
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: he's one of my guys too. He's we're we're friends.

457
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: Uh are our lockers are over there in the corner,

458
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: uh in the in the h o w Uh It's

459
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty tough to get a locker in that spot,

460
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: uh in that morning the lock room. So you know,

461
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: we all have we all have a lot of things

462
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: that we get to talk about during the week. And uh,

463
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've got a no Ray pretty well

464
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And uh, you know,

465
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, as as you guys got to

466
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: see there, I'm a little bit of a homer when

467
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: it comes to my fantasy lineup. Uh, You've got a

468
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: lot of Ravens represented there. So I'm not gonna I'm

469
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: not gonna change that anytime soon. All right, Well, I

470
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: see one of the Dame's great job drafting, by the way,

471
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: taking Giovanni Bernard, what's it like rooting for him in fantasy?

472
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: Yet he's a division rival, the team you want to

473
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: see lose all the time, you know, just out of

474
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: uh solidarity for what our team is trying to do.

475
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: I'll usually bench him when we're playing the Bengals. Uh,

476
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: you know, even if he even if he does have

477
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: a good game. You know, I'm not gonna I'm not

478
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna be too upset about the fantasy wins or losses. Uh.

479
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, it's just

480
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do. But uh, uh you know,

481
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I do like to pride myself on being a somewhat

482
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: of a uh informed fantasy owner. Uh. And a lot

483
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: of that comes from not just like playing in the

484
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: league and no one guys around the league, but you know,

485
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: just really studying the you know, social media. Uh, you know,

486
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: seeing if somebody says, like, oh man, I just had

487
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: like a huge dinner at this nice restaurant. Uh, you know,

488
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: on on like a Friday or Saturday night, I might

489
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: have to bench that guy because he might be a

490
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: little slow on Sunday, you know, and too many cars.

491
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: This is this is the inside info that we need. Man,

492
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: this is exactly what we need here. So you gotta

493
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: you gotta follow the Twitter accounts man who had too

494
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: much pasta on a Friday night. The NFL locker rooms

495
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: now have more players who play fantasy football. I know

496
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones, Drew plays, Champ Bailey plays, you play, Blair Wash.

497
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys who play, but there's also

498
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: some players who maybe don't like fantasy as much. I

499
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: know Tory was tweeting this week because people on Twitter

500
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: we're sort of being rude, and we've seen that with

501
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson in the past. What do you think players

502
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: think about fantasy football in general? Uh, you know, I

503
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: think I can tell you my personal opinion. In general,

504
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: I think it's cool. I think it's great for the league.

505
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: I think it's great for football. Um specifically, it's great

506
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: for the fans, you know, people who want to get

507
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: connected to the game on uh on a different level.

508
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: You know, they can follow guys from teams that they

509
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: might not be watching in their region or or things

510
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: like that. But uh, you know, it's when people take

511
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: it too far, making personal remarks or digs or attacks

512
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: sometimes um on on some on on some players Twitter

513
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: account because their fantasy team didn't do well. Um, you

514
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: know that's just bad ball right there. I mean, you

515
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: just gotta uh realize that we're we're just guys trying

516
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: to make a living and trying to uh you know,

517
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: support our families and uh just be good friends and

518
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: and you know to our loved ones on and off,

519
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, with what we do on the field that

520
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: carries off the field all that kind of stuff. You know,

521
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: people just need to keep that in mind before they

522
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: hit the enter button on their as a fantasy I

523
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: can tell you we get it too, So we're right

524
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: there with you now. I got a little surprised for

Speaker 1: Lights and QB one Scott porter Jason Street taking on

528
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Michael Fabriano for the championship in the Celebrity League this week.

529
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: He swung by our studios this week and has a

530
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: special message for you, considering that Michael Fabriano playing you

531
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: at Hey, Justin, Tucker, I know you were a hero

532
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: last week and you pulled through for Fabriano on a

533
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: lucky win to put him in the championship. But this week,

534
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: do another Texas kid? A solid here, clear eyes, full hearts,

535
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: miss a couple of field goals. Huh, how's that? I

536
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: need to win a way man, heart can't lose. I'm

537
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: talking about right there. Alright, very nice, Justin Tucker, appreciate

538
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: your time with us. We'll talk to you down the road.

539
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: Best of luck, rest of the season, Texas forever. All right,

540
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: thanks for having me, guys, Justin go get him? All right?

541
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: There we go for more on this impending matchup. This

542
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: week we're gonna look forward now is Tucker and the

543
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: Ravens take on the New England Patriots. Let's set over

544
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: Adam Raik and the guys. Thank you very much. Jason

545
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: sel Akmard, you're playing for the Chargers and Traders. Let's

546
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: say Sea Bass or Nate Katie talked about his fantasy team.

547
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: How would you feel, as you like to say, real talk.

548
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty upset if it happened on the field.

549
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: I've been pretty upsetment. Look, look, weird creature of habits

550
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: and so you know that you're zoned in with all

551
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: that in Juland I don't want to hear about fantasy

552
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: during the game. Now after a game that's kinds it's

553
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of funny. All right, Well, there's two sides of

554
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: this game for the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots.

555
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: And if there's been one team that Tom Brady has

556
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: not played well against, it's the Baltimore Ravens. We got

557
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: some numbers right here that might scare some fantasy enthusiasts

558
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: like myself who enjoy playing Tom Brady each and every

559
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: week in Marcus. As you look at those numbers, would

560
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: it be prudent to go with Tom Brady this week?

561
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's necessarily prude. And now I

562
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: know you Adam Rank have You've been ride or die

563
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady all year long. But there are a

564
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks out there with really good matchups this week.

565
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: And we've talked about guys like Kirk Cousins who could

566
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: step in and play very very well. Nick Foles, Jay Cutler,

567
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: all these guys have played well. Those might be options

568
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: if you're really nervous about Tom Brady this. One of

569
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: the things that New England Patriots did last week was

570
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: extend that short passing game as a small ball the

571
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins up and down the field. What about Julian Edelman, akbar?

572
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: Is he a great play this week? Oh, he's an

573
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: absolute great play this week against the Baltimore Ravens. But

574
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: when you look at the way he's been utilized, I mean,

575
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: you can line him up anywhere in this offense and

576
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: he's going to create having He's a nightmare for defensive

577
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: not only he's so small, he's hard to kind of

578
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: keep up with. So when you talk about a matchup nightmare,

579
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to be big like Robert Wilkowski

580
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: to give the defense up fit. And that's where Julian

581
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: Edelman is going to be crucial. I say, you play

582
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: him and they always seem to put him in the

583
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: right spot, which makes him so tough to defend. And

584
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: speaking of guys who catch the of from the New

585
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: England Patriots and your fantasy team is still alive and

586
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: survives Shane Verreen last week, Marcus, are you playing him

587
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: this week? I think you're planning this week he just

588
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: because I can't imagine him being so poor two weeks

589
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: in a row. And you can't really look at the

590
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: numbers for running backs because Shameveren isn't your typical get

591
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: the ball in a handoff sort of bath. Where he

592
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: makes his money is as a guy catching balls out

593
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: of the backfield. So don't really concern yourself with the

594
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: fact that the Ravens have been good against running backs

595
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: this year. Shame Man will catch the ball. He'll have

596
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: more than the two receptions he had last week. I

597
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: think you can feel a little bit better. And great

598
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: point to that is the fact that he is a

599
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: situational type running back as well too, so you know

600
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: that they're going to trust him in those hard situations

601
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: where they're trying to keep the drive a lot, and

602
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: that's where he's gonna gain some fantasy points in value

603
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, what word answers? Do you start ray

604
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Rice this week? No? Can I say I said one word? Okay,

605
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: are you not listening to you? Wanted to get some

606

616
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: the bill out odds are. If you have a couple

617
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: of the players names you're seeing right here, you are

618
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: probably battling this Sunday for a championship trophy. This list

619
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: represents the players most frequently found on the rosters of

620
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: teams in NFL dot Com League championships. You see Keenan

621
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: Allen on this list number one for wide receiver points

622
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: for a rookie. This is a guy who's gonna go

623
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: very early next year. Right now, He's a low end

624
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver one and another season in that offense in

625
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: San Diego. Watch out. He's got a lot of value

626
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: going to the team now. A guy that Michael Fabiano

627
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: has been on from the beginning since he got the

628
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: gig in St. Louis has been Zack Stacy Fams. What's

629
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: his value now? For teen to me, he's gonna be

630
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: a borderline RB one or two. He's gonna be the

631
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: centerpiece of this offense. Even with Sam Bradford back. Zach

632
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Stacy has shown that he's versatile, that he can block,

633
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: he can be a three down back. He's going to

634
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: see goal line work, and you like to see those

635
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: abilities from your running back because of so many backfield

636
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: committees in the National Football League. When you get a

637
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: player who can do it all boy, that just adds

638
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: to their fantasy appeal. What round are you gonna see

639
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 1: him going second round? But you know me, I'm all

640
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: about going running back to earlier, so there'll be a

641
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: second round pick for me, all right, Marcus. How about

642
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey. He's turned out to potentially be the number

643
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: one wide receiver in chicagoging in it, which is really amazing.

644
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: Coming into the season, I think everybody knew that the

645
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Bears are going to have to spread the ball around.

646
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: It couldn't be all Brandon Marshall all the time. But

647
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expected Alshon Jeffrey to step up

648
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: the way he has. He's getting a lot of looks,

649
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: and what really helps is the fact that he can

650
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: make acrobatic catches like that we've seen how many times

651
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm going over the top of the fenders and bringing

652
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: in balls along the sideline or in the end zone.

653
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: He's become a huge to the offense and he's been

654
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: a big confidence booster whoever has been at quarterback, Jake

655
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Cutler or Josh McCown. And he's a guy who coming

656
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: into next year could be a low end wide receiver

657
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: one a high end wide receiver too. All right, real

658
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: quick on DeMarco Murray. Every year we say this is

659
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: there for DeMarco Murray, then we devalue him in now fabs.

660
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: He's come out with a pretty big season. Where does

661
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: he go second round? I think he could slide. Look

662
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: how good he's been this year. And I know he's

663
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: missed a little bit of time, but he hasn't missed

664
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: significant time with injuries. He's a featured back, which again

665
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: is tough to find in the National Football League. He's

666
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: in a very explosive offense. He's been great. He's been

667
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: one of the five best running backs in Fantasy over

668
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: the last four or five weeks. You can't argue with

669
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: the number. Should arrange an introduction between de Marco Murray

670
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett. Well, Jason Garrett might not necessarily to

671
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys plays. It's not DeMarco Murray's fault. Tony Romo

672
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: changes that. It's okay, very true. Now, speaking of DeMarco

673
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Murray and the Cowboys, let's get another couple of game

674
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: previews in here. Cowboys at the red Skins on Sunday.

675
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: Fabs Tony Romo. Look, if he audibles to pass place,

676
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: he has got a lot of fantasy points on Sunday.

677
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Here's what scares me though, because on paper, this is

678
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: a great matchup. It's a fantastic matchup. The Redskins defense

679
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: is not as bad as the Cowboys, but it's pretty

680
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: darn close. But he has a really bad history against

681
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: the Redskins in Washington, and there could be some weather

682
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: in this game. We talked about de Marco Murray how

683
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys may just want to run in the football

684
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: and hopefully continue to run because they will find success

685
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: on the ground. I honestly think Romeo was a little

686
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: bit of a risk this weekend. So low end one

687
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: for you, low end one, high end two. I wouldn't

688
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: be surprised if some people started Jay Cutler over him.

689
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins over him. There are some options out there

690
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position that are on the waiver wire

691
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: right now, who could put up better points than Romo.

692
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Pierre Garston. Now, Marcus, he had

693
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: disappeared for a little while, but now it looks like

694
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins found him last week. He definitely did. I

695
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: think though you go into this week thinking Pierre Garson

696
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver too. I don't let you put

697
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: him much higher than that. But played very well. Had

698
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: had fifteen targets against the Cowboys earlier this season. We

699
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: know the Cowboy defense is bad. They give up a

700
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points to wide receivers. Kirk Cousins certainly

701
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: auditioning for what could come for him next season. I

702
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna go and find his number one target.

703
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: That's gonna be Pierre Garson. He's always good to break

704
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: a big play, to get behind the defense and score

705
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: a long catch and run like you saw there. I

706
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: think he's a guy, like I said, you trust him

707
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver to and hope that maybe he

708
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: breaks out against Dallas. We're gonna make a lot of

709
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: fantasy owners nervous, right now, if you own Drew Brees,

710
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: you may want to not look at what we're gonna

711
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: show you on this next board. Quarterbacks on the road

712
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: against the Panthers generally do not do very well past

713
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: yards per game, five touchdowns, twelve turnovers. I guess I

714
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: should have said turn away, and no, don't listen because

715
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about what's going on. But this is what

716
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: happens when quarterbacks play in Carolina. Under ten fantasy points

717
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: per game. Market should throw in the fact that Drew

718
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Brees is four points worse on the road than at home.

719
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: How do you feel about starting It's actually the worse

720
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: than that. He's closer to double digits worse on the

721
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: road then at home. So I think he's a guy.

722
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: Though you can't sit Drew Brees because he's Drew Brees.

723
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you drafted him high, you have him in

724
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: there as a top quarterback, but you play him this week,

725
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: you really timber your expectations. I think the only way

726
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: you go away from him is if you maybe have

727
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: a guy like Philip Rivers or Nick Foles somewhere on

728
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: your ross and you want to both prediction Andy Dalton

729
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: will score more fantasy points and breeze this weekend. Andy

730
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Dalton has an open day. Oh no, he's playing Minnesota's

731
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: play in Minnesota. How about Cam Newton? How high do

732
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: you have him? Right? This week? He's in my top five.

733
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has been one of the best quarterbacks in

734
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: fantasy and he finds success against the Saints at home

735
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown named two career games in Carolina against

736
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans, the Saints have allowed the fourth. He was

737
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, but we can't really

738
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: put Cam Newton in a typical quarterback category because he

739
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: can run with the football so effectively at four yards

740
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: rushing in a touchdown and suddenly, even if he has

741
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: a bad game throwing the football, it's twenty fantasy points. Correct.

742
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: All right, there we go, there's some quarterbacks. You've got

743
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: some more quarterbacks coming your way. Ken Captain Kirk Cousins

744
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: lead your team to the Promised Lands? Can you trust

745
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck or Eric Decker? Adam Rank reveals all next

746
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Love. Hey everybody, it's me Adam Rank,

747
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: and every week I give you my likes and dislikes

748
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: in the world of sports, TV, movies, and so much more.

749
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: It's a great time. But it's championship week and it's

750
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: time for real talk. So I won't sit here and

751
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: talk about how John Cena tried to steal Daniel Bryant's heat.

752
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: I won't spoil Homeland for you. I'm not gonna talk

753
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: about duck Dynasty at Chumba Womba reunion Baron Hilton, although

754
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: you did you know his grandfather actually founded the Chargers

755
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and he was, oh, sorry, Oh you're right. Yes, the

756
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: likes and dislikes, and my first like of the week

757
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: is Kirk Cousins. Yes, the game in d C is challenging.

758
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't figure out which quarterback I want to start.

759
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of like choosing between Zoe Deschanel and Hannah Simone.

760
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: You just can't seem to go wrong with either. But

761
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: I like Cousins because the Redskins are going to be

762
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: inclined to throw the football. Look, you aren't going to

763
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: increase Cousins trade value by handing the ball off to

764
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Freddie Morris sixty times cool. I do like Freddie this week,

765
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: do them? But a quarterback I don't like this week

766
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: is Andy Luck. And when it comes to Andy, I

767
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: find myself to be the horse whisperer, and that horse,

768
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: of course, is a Colt. We've been spot on with

769
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: Luck all year, and I just don't like this matchup.

770
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have allowed a quarterback to throw for more

771
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: than two hundred and forty yards just once and their

772
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: last eleven home games in December, and Luck has been

773
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: a much different quarterback on the road. Let's move on

774
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: to happier times and Freddie Jackson, a running back I

775
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: do like. The Dolphins have been better against the run

776
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: as of late, but part of that was because the

777
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: Patriots refused to run in Miami. The Bills won't go

778
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: that route because that Lewis. And when you look at

779
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: what Jackson has done historically against the Dolphins, you will

780
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: see this is a pretty sound start. One running back

781
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: I dislike, however, is Stephen Jackson, the man I predicted

782
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: to be the fantasy m v P of two thousand thirteen,

783
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: and it hasn't worked out so well. But he was

784
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: so good against the Redskins last week, as he scored

785
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: two touchdowns for me. And you know what, that's good enough, Stephen.

786
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: You did all that I needed you to do, even

787
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: in the best of circumstances. That you weren't going to

788
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: start this week, so no hard feelings. And speaking of

789
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: no hard feelings, I like Eric Decker this week. Sure

790
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: he nearly cost me with that performance against the Chargers,

791
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: but we survived and advanced. He's had five touchdown is

792
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: his last three games against the Texans, and he's had

793
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: at least one hundred fifteen receiving yards in two of

794
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: those games. He's an excellent start, as only Peyton Manning

795
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: responds the losses with nine d passing yards and seventy

796
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: touchdowns against inferior opponents. Seriously, I hope you I don't

797
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: have to go against Peyton this week. Now, let's take

798
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: a look at some more guys that I like and dislike.

799
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: Red Dalton started, Marshawn Lynch, Tory Smith, Kendall Wright. Please

800
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: Team America leave him on the bench. Joe Flacco. He's

801
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: been so good against the Patriots in the past, but

802
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: I can't trust him. C J. Spiller on the bench.

803
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald has been terrible historically against Seattle and you

804
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennet. The Eagles are tough on fantasy tight ends,

805
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: but now it's time to send it over to Jason

806
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: Smith and the Fellas, or some spots starts in week sixteen.

807
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Adam. Time now for our Hotels dot Com Fantasy

808
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: Spotlight spot starts of the week. But first off, Park

809
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: top ten Chumbawemba songs go. I couldn't even do. I

810
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: don't even know what that is and I won't respond.

811
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: How about instead we give you some spot starts for

812
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: Reek sixteen. They made these guys you may never start

813
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: again well, especially because it's championship week. But guys, you

814
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: have questions about can I put in my line up?

815
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: What about Michael crabs Park? Can you get him in

816
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: your lineup this week? Absolutely? I love Michael Crabtree, and

817
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: chances are while he was out on it with his

818
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: torn achiles, of course you were playing some other guys

819
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: who were doing well for you. But Michael Crabtree, I

820
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect start. You look at his game

821
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yet five catches,

822
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: forty five yards and a touchdown. That's good enough, and

823
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna continue to get some momentum going.

824
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: When you look at his the amount of plays he's playing,

825
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: he's giving a lot more reps. Now they're looking to him.

826
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: They're targeting him more. Now I say that Michael Crabtree

827
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: is an excellent wide receiver to going into this week.

828
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: Great play Atlanta's defense, their secondary? Was that a song

829
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: all right? Now? Adam Raik now playing for his third

830
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: championship in the last four years in the Experts League,

831
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: give me a tight end you like this week if

832
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: you had to play well. Jordan Cameron is out with

833
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: an injury. So I'm looking at Dennis pitt of the

834
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: guy who is coming and immediately went back to being

835
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's go to guy in the red zone. It's

836
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: what we thought going into the season is that with

837
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: an Kwon Bolden now moving on to San Francisco, Dennis

838
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: Pittter was gonna step up and be that guy in

839
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. And he was greatest first week, not

840
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: so much a second week. But this is a pretty

841
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: good matchup against the New England Patriots. They have allowed

842
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy points at tight ends over the

843
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: last month. So if you can still find Dennis pit

844
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: on your roth or excuse me, on your waiver wire,

845
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: go pick him up. He has a great start this week,

846
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: and that I guess I should have kept talking because

847
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: there was still video going. I just say I made

848
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: my point emphatically, and I just stopped because that's what

849
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: I do. You try to just do. The russ manager

850
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: was gonna yell at me again. All right, Jason, what

851
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: do you got for us? All right? Thanks a bunch,

852
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: Mr Rank. You know, as the President likes to say,

853
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: my opinion on Matt Shop is evolving over the course

854
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: of the last few new days. Here. Look from a

855
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: football standpoint, the Broncos defense is awful. Nine passing touchdowns

856
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 1: allowed in the last four road games. They're averaging giving

857
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: up over five yards per game on the road this season.

858
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: Throwing to the account where Matt Shop right now, he

859
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: sees his football life in front of him. He wants

860
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: to be a starter somewhere next season. If he doesn't

861
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: have big games the next two weeks, he's going to

862
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: be a backup somewhere. That's how he's gonna play out

863
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. This is his chance to

864
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: show other teams that could need a quarterback next year

865
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: a quick fix that hey, I can still play for you.

866
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: He has a big week this week, He's gonna be

867
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: your twenty fantasy points at least they're gonna throw for

868
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: a lot of yards because look, they're gonna be behind,

869
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to throw for a lot. Yeah.

870
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: I like what you did there to his football life

871
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: depends on it. So I mean, if he has a

872
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: bad game, of course he's gonna be featured on our

873
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: football life and talk about you know, the fall up.

874
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: If he has a bad game this week, next week, Marcus,

875
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: give me a defense you can pick up and play

876
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: this week. I am going with to all partners, Adam

877
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: Rank the St. Louis FC. I think the Rams are

878
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna be really good this week. They haven't really fantastic

879
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: at home this year, and you look at what they do,

880
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: especially guys up front. You see a lot of guys

881
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: making plays that they're Robert Quinn has been there. I

882
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: say it mighty this season. I mean, Chris Long is

883
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: a playmaker, James Laura Nitis and a guy who's really underrated,

884
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: alec Ogletree in the middle of that field. But the

885
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: Rams at home, they have scored seven or more fantasy

886
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: points in five straight home games. They get takeaways, they

887
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: score touchdowns, and they're going to be It's a Buccaneers

888
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: team that has struggled away from Tampa. They give up

889
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks away from home, and I think

890
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: the Rams are really gonna take advantage of it. Look,

891
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: they're not really playing for a playoff spot, but they're

892
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: playing for pride, and the Rams and the Dome are

893
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: a tough of the old and deal with Yeah. The

894
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: best thing they do is they get pressure on the

895
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: quarterback without having to send blitzers. Those fun guys have

896
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: been fantastic this season. Here's our spotlight spot starts the week.

897
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: R says over thirteen Fantasy points from Michael Crabtree. Rank

898
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: has Dennis pit it for near ten, which would be

899
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: a phenomenal start. I have Matt Shop for eighteen and

900
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: Marcus has the Rams defensive for eleven against Tampa Bay.

901
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: Those are Hotel dot Com Fantasy Spotlight spot starts the

902
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: Week four Championship Sunday, when NFL Fantasy Live returns. We're

905

Speaker 1: Right back after this, I get knocked down. What is

906
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: chumble wubber? Weather is always a major factor late in

907
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: the season. So now for the latest on how the

908
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: weather is shaping up for Sunday, let's send it out

909
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: to our fantasy meteorologist, Jim Ksick for BBC four in

910
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: Sall Lake City. Jim, and I'll tell you what, Jason

911
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: may I say. It's been a pleasure to be with

912
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: you all year long. They say the Cardinals are on

913
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: the road, right, But there's another Arizona feature that's on

914
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: the road as well. It's this storm system. It's going

915
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: to grab moisture off the Gulf of mexic Co and

916
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna chuck it northbound. Now for most it's near

917
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: record temperatures, rain, thunderstorms, wind, lightning. That's still can't be

918
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: good if you're outside playing. So you think buffalo snow

919
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: this time of year. Ah, But this one's rain and

920
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: heavy at times. It will that ball goes this way

921
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: that way when rain reaches its top forward fall velocity.

922
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: See as rain drops fall, they oscillate, they go like

923
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: they're talking to you. That hits the pigskins square in

924
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: the schnaz It flutters all over the place. But we

925
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: also have some thunderstorms returning for the second half the

926
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: game over the road. Into East Rutherford. Oh and maybe

927
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: some severe weather uh for the Cowboys and Redskins NFC

928
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: East matchup here. I'm also worried about severe thunderstorms in Carolina.

929
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: That's a great battle right there as well. The storm

930
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: system is gonna be exiting Cincinnati, so if you're tailgating,

931
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: you'll only get wet after you're fine. And there's Cardinals

932
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: on the road taken on the Seahawks. Couple of clouds

933
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: and showers, but it shouldn't be all that big of

934
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: a deal backside of the same storm system snow. But

935
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: then we also contend with showers Baltimore up the road

936
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: toward the Lincoln Philadelphia. But again, because these are the

937
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: later games, the worst in terms of severe weather is over,

938
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: so good news at least in that respect. And this

939
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: right here, gentlemen, is an official Red Rider Carbine Action

940
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: two hundred shot range model air rifle, and other than

941
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: a fantasy victory over the local sports guy, here to

942
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: show him that weather truly does rule. It's all I

Speaker 1: want for Christmas. At careful, he's real quick, you guys,

944
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,120

Speaker 1: know what win for me? When is the big one

946
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: win and absolutely more wind than rain or snow, all right,

947
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: and we know when the snow you can trust everybody

948
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: except Matthew Stafford. So that's all right. That'll do it
