00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on Home

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: of the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back,

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. Is Tuesday. That

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: means it's waiver wire pickup day. Yeah, some some injuries

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: around the league and something's the time to streamline your

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: roster here, get ready, this is the time of year

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: you want to make those moves. Uh, try to be preemptive. Yeah,

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in the playoffs, start looking ahead

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: at the playoff schedule. Okay, who has the good matchups? Like,

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: for example, the Miami Dolphins, they got it pretty nice.

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: There's their playoff schedule. Like we're talking week, I mean

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: they're playing junk. I think a lot of the East

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: is playing junk. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of them play

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: each other, which is junk. And you know right, so yeah,

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: that's definitely important. The other bit of advice, I would

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: don't have a second quarterback uns or yeah, I mean

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: unless you're rotating those guys. Don't be stashing defenses and

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: your guys are through their bye weeks, run with them.

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: You can pick somebody up off the waiver wire. Somebody

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: gets hurt, right, and exactly like I was inner Madison.

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to come up in this conversation

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: a lot. In most leagues. He was already in the league.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: But maybe Sony Michelle isn't. Or Hubbard, you know, like

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: these guys that have cut like peer backup running backs,

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: just grab them now before we have a lot of

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: value in a week, right. I mean, I hate to

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: say it, but I mean, would you consider if if

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Balage was the true number two or you know, like

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: situations like that, It makes some sense in deeper leagues,

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you got to you gotta protect yourself. Yeah,

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: So we're looking here at John Dagles cut list or

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: ad list that we do every week. First of all

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: we do is drop list. Interesting name here leading this

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: off at the quarterback position, Russell? Are you cutting Russell Wilson?

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I can't can't play him and you can't keep right.

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: He's not a top twelve. I don't even care what

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: his matchup is. You know, they don't plays, they don't

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: run any plays he didn't have. There's nothing there. You

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: can't get the ball, DK Metcalfe, don't run any plays.

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't leave much and you've got a bad finger. Yeah,

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I bet I could easily come with fifteen names I'm

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: starting against, you know, a neutral mass ahead of him. Yeah, yeah,

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean so, I guess. Yeah, we keep an eye

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: on him to pick him up, you know, if you

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: guys get cut, if he starts ripping through the league.

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: But I mean, depending on what your quarterback situation isn't right,

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you could probably find, as you said, fifteen more productive

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: fantasy quarter me. I'm starting Derek Carr over him. Yeah,

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of names you could come up.

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting Burrow over him. Number two quarterback on this list,

51
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanney Hill. It's that time. Yeah, you can't play him.

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Same situation, Yeah, there's nothing same situation right there. It

53
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: might not be his fault, but who cares. I can't

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: play that's the reality. I don't care where you drafted

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: those guys, right exactly. It doesn't matter now. And there's

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: a mindset that makes no sense. But it's just human nature.

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: It's like, if I cut him, someone else is gonna

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: pick him up and make me look dumb. Who cares

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: what happens to him. He's gone to see you later.

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: You can't use them. Get him off your offsterer. Tell

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: him running back Zack Moss. He was active last week.

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Matt Breeda. Matt Breeda scored a touchdown in each of

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Has been three. Yeah, I have

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: a'm awso good player. I would be honest, like, if

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: I'm the Steelers, I'd throw them a six round pick

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: for Zack Moss in the off season and see what happens.

67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, Like, I don't know that he doesn't work there,

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: but they don't run the ball for all right, something's

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: missing there though. Can you not pass protect? Can you not?

70
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't get it right. It's crazy.

71
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I thought he was a dynasty target of mine this offseason,

72
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: thinking he's gonna be the guy there in a good offense,

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: they'll run the ball. What the Seiler should drafted him

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: last year? We like him coming out of school. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Um.

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: The other two guys are guys who've been on this

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: list already, Mike Davis and Derrick Henry. Yes and yes, ye.

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Receiver he has to be on that list now too.

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: Right wide receiver is one Julio Junes even if he's

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: coming back and A J. Brown's lot there and he's

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: the one. I mean, I might not cut him, or

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I might consider picking him up. You're never going to

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: start him, but you're never going to start him, You're right.

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he had to have to do a lot

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: to convince me that he's worth putting on my line up.

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's gonna get ton of attention when

86
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: he gets back to as they say, he's number seven

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver, seventy five and Fantasy points per game this game,

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: per game total to So that does he didn't do anything,

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: he was healthy, he said. There's no guarantee that that

90
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Jones returns in week fourteen, or if he's even usable

91
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: when he is active. So that's the earliest hen come

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: back his fourteen. Yeah, they're on buy, they're on buying. Okay,

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: So I was thinking he could come back even this week.

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: So by this week, okay, alright, okay, now I understand. Yeah,

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: I was taking this is a week twelve. The overall

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: top five pickups Jamal Williams. Yes, because he's useful with

97
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: or without Swift, and without him, he's a starter. He'll

98
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: get touches. Yeah. Yeah, he catches a ball too, I mean,

99
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: especially if swifts out. Boston Scott yeah, Sanders is banged up.

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: They run the ball like crazy. Absolutely a mir Abdullah,

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: Yeah he's now, he's now Alexander Madison, right right, I

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: mean is he's a panther though, Yeah, because he was

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: still in the Minnesota. Screwed me up because I think

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: that they're going to rotate him and Chuba fair amount

105
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: because Trupe is not much of a receiving back. So

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Abdullah it's a good specially he's evolved into a good

107
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: special team. He's a good returner and I think he'll

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: get I don't know, a snap something like that that's

109
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: worth it and if they're losing a lot, but maybe more. Uh,

110
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson, I'm not buying that. I can't. Yeah, no,

111
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: thanks uh. And then Chuba Hubbard, I mean he should be.

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: I mean he's a starter. Now, I'd hesitate to start Chuba.

113
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't know if he's a top

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty four back, but probably you know where he's a flex. Yeah, yeah,

115
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna play and he's a running back, so that's valuable.

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: The high stakes Top five is Jamal Williams of Miradula,

117
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson, Kendrick Born. He's been really good lately. Yeah,

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: he he's picked up. He's actually the perfect guy to

119
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: trade right now because if people just look at his

120
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: like his Fantasy UM points per game lately, he's been

121
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: really ripping it up. But he's still not a cornerstone

122
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: offense type of guy. You know, he's done well lately.

123
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: Get out came one of those third downbacks for a

124
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: team that doesn't like to throw the ball off that

125
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: type of deal, right, I mean, he makes big plays,

126
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: but if he's out there, pick him up and maybe

127
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: stick him into two for one deal or something, you

128
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Nobody should be trading now at

129
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: this point anyways, true deadlines deadlines is about gone, actually

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: goes up until this week, but that's crazy. It is late. Yeah,

131
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and then jo Wan Jennings by default, someone's gonna catch

132
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah. The contingency top ten Now these are

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: the top ten handcuffs. Now you're looking at Kenway can

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: and Wu he's the new Yes, and he's also a

135
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: special teamer that's always gonna be active on game day,

136
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: good returner, fast, I mean, he fits her system. It's

137
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: deep leagues. We gotta pay attention to him. Darryl Williams Khalil,

138
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Herbert Sony Michelle. All those guys would be very valuable

139
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: with an injury, and one of them will be you

140
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: know similar, Yeah, Jeff Wilson, Carlos Guy, Yeah, some j

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: P Ryan, Ronald Jones, and de Ernest Johnson. Okay, one

142
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: I would add to that as we're sitting here in

143
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: the Seattle Washington games on from last night. M kiss

144
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: it got hurt and it looked bad. I haven't not.

145
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: He went off on a cart, So that helps Gibson

146
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: of course. But Patterson has to be in leagues now too.

147
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Gibson Shin can't be. And Patterson is a

148
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: guy they like, they've been getting involved. He's a perfect

149
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: guy to pick up because you know he's a true handcuff.

150
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Now it's not a three way committee at all. The

151
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: quarterback pickups this week. Number one Taysom Hill. Yeah you're

152
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: starting Taysom Hill over Russell Wilson for people wondering, Yeah,

153
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,119
Speaker 1: I mean I started Taylor Heineke over Russell over Russell Wilson. Yeah.

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Ideally I would like to see a game with Taysom

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Hill as the true starter. An run, you know he's

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 1: gonna run, But I mean it's the top before I

157
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: start him. I mean, you know, their weapons stink, they

158
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: absolutely stink. I mean I bet he gets car he

159
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: might throw twenty passes, but Kamar is probably back. That's

160
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: good or bad? It mmit. Yeah, I just have a

161
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: hard time starting him this week. Like if it's him

162
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: or Burrow, you know, somebody like that, that's good. Not

163
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: one of my number two Jimmy Garoppolo, I don't know

164
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: about about that. I'd take. I'd take either of the

165
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks after Jimmy g before that, before I take

166
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. T is third. Yeah, he'll throw a lot

167
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: more than Garoppolo and then Taylor Heineke, I guess yeah.

168
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's aggressive, he runs, he runs, He's very aggressive.

169
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: If Justin Fields isn't Scott cut or whatever, I would

170
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: he's a stash. I mean, that's one of the instances

171
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: where I would want like him and Taysom Hill, I

172
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: don't mind keeping a second quarterback because they could be

173
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: a home run. I'm waiting, you know what I mean?

174
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: So those are the type of guys. Do you cut

175
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton? I wouldn't have picked him up, but yeah, um,

176
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: I mean we we did say that I don't cut him.

177
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: They're on a bye this week, though, right, I think so, yeah,

178
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: they are, so you know, maybe you do cut him

179
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: and hope he can get him back and he'll get

180
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: more snaps, and I would think he looks better going

181
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: forward than that. It was a really bad showing. Was

182
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: horrible show. Yeah, running back Madison is rostered in fifty

183
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: of leagues. He's obviously one guy to pick at home. Yeah,

184
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,119
Speaker 1: and if if some of you guys aren't super experienced,

185
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: if he's out there and you're a small league and

186
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: you still have a hundred dollars of bad money, put

187
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: ninety five on him and like you gotta win this week. Yeah,

188
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: use it up. Jamal Williams is the top overall add

189
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: after and I hate to say Madison could be a

190
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: great start against the Steelers on a short week to

191
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: the last year when he had that opportunity, he had

192
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: a really bad game. I think it was like the

193
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl week he had a playoff to hurt teams bad.

194
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: We're talking like fourteen carries for twenty six years. Right,

195
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: He's not Dalvin Cook, No, but I'm starting him this

196
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: week for sure, if I mean he's volume Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh,

197
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Boston Scott is two, a mirror Doula is three, Hubbard

198
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: is four. I mean, I'm not super excited about Abdulla

199
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: to have him this high, you know, and Matt Breed

200
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: is five. They seem to like Brita. They don't run

201
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: the ball well I want anything to say, And none

202
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: of these guys are Madison. Obviously it's super excit right

203
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: right right, Um, yeah, I guess Scott if Sony Michelle

204
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: is availables, Henderson got digged up in that game and

205
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: he always gets stacked. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying

206
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna bench him, but they're playing the Jags. They

207
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: might if he's got something that he's dealing with. Sony

208
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Michelle Michelle gets the Jags would be very nice. Like

209
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather the Jets are running backs, even Coleman maybe

210
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: maybe what about the Seahawk Rocks rather have a Coleman

211
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: cooler of the Seahawk running backs drop? Oh? Yeah, they

212
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: don't gain, they don't plays. I mean they had Russell

213
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: Wilson was there leading rusher last night. I think gets

214
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: sixteen yards because he had a twelve yards scramble when

215
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: a play bright that broke down that's it, you know,

216
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: like their offense is broken. It's broke and has been

217
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Really, Really, the whole second

218
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: half of last year is when the beating the bottom

219
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: fell out on Seattle. Um wide receiver Van Jefferson is

220
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: roster of Yahoo League. He is the number one add

221
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: if available. He caught eighty yard or that's not gonna

222
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: happen every week. So if you just look at the scores,

223
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't great volume. O'Dell was actually used more than him,

224
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: So O'Dell is more real. But Jefferson should be in

225
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: your league. Yeah, I mean I have no doubt about that.

226
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: His number one pick up is Deshan Jackson. No. No. No.

227
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Two is Kendrick Boorne. I'm taking him over Jackson. I mean,

228
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: he should be in the league. But there's there's more

229
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: volume there. Yeah. Uh. Jennings is three. Yeah. I mean

230
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: if I had on my roster and I liked somebody,

231
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I'd caught him, you know, like I wouldn't be him

232
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: running about to make that clean. No. No, Josh Reynolds

233
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: is four. That one's kind of interesting if there's some

234
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: talent there. Liked him in the past and now he's

235
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: got them. Yeah, he's got an opportunity to be the

236
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: number one. How about the Tennessee guys not named Julio

237
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: or a j I know, I mean i'd read rather

238
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: Reynolds and all those type of guys. Yeah right, they

239
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: probably they probably like that too, but they got probably

240
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: got him. And then Demir Bird is number five. He

241
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't pick on my team. I mean we're talking at

242
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: this point in the season, it's pretty well picked. It's

243
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: really yeah. I mean I'm sure like Trake one Smith

244
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: is picked up and Valdes scantly the guys who have

245
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: the guys who've been cut at this point have been

246
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: cut for a reason. They're done. Yeah, a tight end.

247
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Number one pick up is Foster Moreau, that's true. Yeah,

248
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: I really like the player, Like I'd love Foster Moreaw

249
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: to be sitting behind Friar Muth right now. And you know,

250
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's startable. The thing is, if

251
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers had taken Foster Moreau, they probably don't draft

252
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: firm because they're starting Foster morew Remember we talked about

253
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: him a lot coming out of was a mid round pick.

254
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: He went a little earlier than I expected, and you know, No,

255
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: but he's a good player. Yeah, I don't think they'll

256
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: scheme up the tight end like they're Yeah, he's not

257
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: getting twelve targets. It's not like sealed Shones for little

258
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas. They scheme things up because Waller's Waller. Uh.

259
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Two is James of Shaughnessy, Dan Arnold's out Jacksonville for

260
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: people don't know, I suppose. I mean they're not scheming

261
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: things up for James of Shaughnessy. No, but they don't

262
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: have anything else. They really don't, don't. Three is Gerald Everett,

263
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: I like ever Born and those guys. I just can't

264
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: buy in on that. That's terrible, right, I mean, I've

265
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: got dk Metcalf on my on my roster in my

266
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: main league, and I'm like, you said, you three points

267
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: out of him, three points at him the last night

268
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: to win, and you got I got two and tied

269
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: because he caught it out nine two and one, because

270
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: they Dk Metcalf couldn't get a two catches too catches

271
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: for the best player on your team, basically, right, No,

272
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: that's that was coaching male practice last night. I haven't

273
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: sent some tweets out of which I don't tweet much

274
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: during games. But I was like, you can't hit this

275
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: guy on a slant or give him an end a round.

276
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, have things that he doesn't do well.

277
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even care. Just get the ball

278
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: in his hand. Your offense is so bad, right? Uh?

279
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: So ever, it is three David and joke who is four?

280
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Isn't Briant banged up? Briant is probably gonna miss this

281
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: week's game. Yes, and the joke who is a guy

282
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: I can't quite quit. You can't start, he can't start Hooper,

283
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: he he has shut out last and the joke wh

284
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: is more dangerous than Hooper? Maybe? I mean, you're hoping

285
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: for a big play and he almost had a really

286
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: big play that they called back. He's flashed throughout the year,

287
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: and he'll get overpaid in the off season. But I

288
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: mean there's talent there. He looks he runs around like

289
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He also drops the ball like

290
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: an h Yeah, he's highly inconsistent. Yes, Uh, there are

291
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: only seven rounds in the draft. Knight. I'm well, don't

292
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: act us. I say, yeah, let's look at the streaming

293
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: defenses this week. So you got the Thursday night game

294
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: is Cowboys at Saints Cowboys. Jay's offense is that bad.

295
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. Yeah, it looks like Cowboys have some

296
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Maori's not cleared yet. The Zeke Zeke's banged up. Would

297
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: you consider the Saints? I think their offense is too

298
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: bad to consider the Saints. Yeah. Giants at Dolphins offense.

299
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Yeah, he's playing well. I think the last

300
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: four games I got sixteen sacks and like eight interceptions

301
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, it looks like last year's defense. Uh.

302
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Colts at Texans. Coults are fine. Yeah, they're probably top

303
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: twelve this week. Yeah, Taylor should feast. Taylor should feast. Yeah. Um,

304
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: Vikings at Lions. You're playing the Vikings. Yeah, that's a

305
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: true streamer though. Yeah. I don't know if I could

306
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: write they've not been good. They've not been good. They're

307
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: not one of the twelve best defenses in the league.

308
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: That's all matchup based, and you're trusting Zimmer. Eagles at

309
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: Jets Eagles. Jets defense hasn't been bad. And if all

310
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna do is it hurt stinks. Every

311
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: time the ball is in the air, there's a good

312
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: chance that that the other team's gonna catch it as

313
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: somebody on his team does. I don't know if either

314
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: one of those would be my top twelve though, and

315
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: it's all said, probably not, you know, because they're not

316
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: great defenses. Cardinals at Bears Cards, Yeah, not Bears, not Bears. No, Um,

317
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Chargers at Bengals, not the Chargers. Mixing is gonna run

318
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: all over them. Not the Bengals either though probably not.

319
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: It's a good d that many below on the list.

320
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm not picking them up to start that week. One

321
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: of those type of deals. Now. Buccaneers at Falcons Bucks, Yeah,

322
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be in every league. Jaguars at Rams,

323
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna play. You're gonna play the Rams defensive right,

324
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: They're a little disappointing, but that's a good week. Washington

325
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: at Raiders. Interested in either one of those defenses as

326
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: a streamer, maybe Washington they're trying to Their defense isn't

327
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: nearly as awful as it was to start the season.

328
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: They're not blowing coverages left and right, and they do

329
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: pressure the quarterback. Raiders defenses might not be a bad

330
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: start this week. They get some pass rushers, Heiney Kill

331
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: takes some chances. Yeah, I mean it's probably ten to fifteen.

332
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: They only scored seventeen points last night. It's not you know,

333
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: like when we do our DFS lineup, if that one's

334
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: super cheap for some reason, because they think that they'll

335
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: get some sacks, and yeah, they'll they'll get you some

336
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Ravens at Steelers both both. I think both

337
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: offenses are a little right now. I mean it could

338
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: be a slow paced slog. You know, typically thirteen ten

339
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens game a lot of hitting, right, Yeah, I

340
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: think I'm starting both, especially if wattell healthy. Forty Niners

341
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: at Seahawks. You're firing up that forty Niners defense against

342
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: the Sea It's not a great d but I think

343
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: the Seahawks their second thear he's bad the Niners and Niners. Yeah,

344
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really even care. I just think

345
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: I want to play him against Seattle because you know,

346
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: Seattle is only gondous, right, I mean, it's not the

347
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: best start in the world. Broncos at Chiefs, No, No,

348
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: maybe the Chiefs. Maybe the Chiefs big plays, their defenses

349
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: turned to corner. I believe, I don't know what the

350
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: offense has, but I'm still afraid of if you don't

351
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: think the offense has. He's starting to Broncos. I'm still

352
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: afraid of the Chiefs based on reputation alone. Andy reid

353
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Off a boy is in Kansas City too. Yeah. Yeah,

354
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Patriots at Bills. There's two of the two of the

355
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: great defenses in fantasy this year. I don't only got

356
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: started the one. I don't know if I Yeah, I

357
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: don't want to start either one. Both those offenses are

358
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: scary right now. And hum, yeah, I don't think I

359
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: started the one. That's what makes this such an interesting right,

360
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: Like I might start the Bengals or Raider is over

361
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: them even though they're not as good, you know what

362
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Raiders in particular. Yeah, it's it's

363
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: a tough week for streaming defenses. It is. Wow. None

364
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: of them really stand out there. That's that's the end

365
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: of the road. Usually there's like a one that's never

366
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: in the league that you want to start. Maybe Eagles

367
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: against the Jets will be a sneaky win to They

368
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: brushed the past, are pretty well and they defended that.

369
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: They defend the past. Recently, Slaves having a really good year.

370
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: Their defense has come around. Wilson still, I know he

371
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: didn't he though he produced enough fantasy defense points last

372
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: last week. Will we get six out of the Texans

373
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: something like that team game? Oh that's good, that's not

374
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: too bad. Now the Eagles are startable. Yeah, um but yeah,

375
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: but there's nobody that's really jumping out at it really seems.

376
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Got to pick that one up for the week. Yeah,

377
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just uh, yeah, it's funny because

378
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: I have Panthers are my main dee, which hurt me

379
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: last week. But I'm gonna cut them because they're on

380
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: the bibe. But I don't know, none of those are

381
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: super exciting for him to go put in for the

382
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: I have the I've been playing the Patriots the last

383
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I've been streaming all season long. Don't

384
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: cut them though, that's why they hold on to, you

385
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: know what I I've I've already put in the cut

386
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna pick up the Cardinals around the waiver

387
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: wire because they were off last week. I'm like, yeah,

388
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense. I know the team you're

389
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: talking about is also loaded. You don't have somebody you

390
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 1: want to Yeah, there's nobody that I want to get

391
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: rid of. That's part of the issue. Um, looking at

392
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: that Thursday night game real quick, Ezekiel Elliott a full participant,

393
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: impress wasn't There were some questions. Yeah, apparently that's like

394
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: a It's almost like the the the situation that the

395
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Rams had where it's a degenitor, you know, long term,

396
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: like oh, he's got a spraying knee. Now, it's just

397
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: that chronic. It's gonna be something chronic that may cut

398
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: his career short. That makes sense. You probably not a

399
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: lot of Wednesday practices in his future and that kind

400
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. You got a lot of wear and tear

401
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: on him for a twenty five year old, a lot

402
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: of wear in there. I mean Ohio State, he was

403
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: used heavy too, you know. Write Uh, Cedric Wilson with

404
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: an ankle remains sideline for Tuesday. So that's not looking good.

405
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: I say, that's kind of a sneaky one. If Cooper

406
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: was out, Yeah, and I guess they think Seedee Lamp

407
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: can be back, just I would imagine. Yeah, see, then

408
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: you'd have Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, the leak turner. Yeah.

409
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about Brown though, you know, right, Um,

410
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: Paulard is not a bad start though, Yeah, Kamara was

411
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: limited again today as well. So, I mean it's Thursday game,

412
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's two limited practices. Like do they

413
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: rush him back to play him against the Cowboys? Season's

414
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: over if you lose the NFC? Is it? Yeah? I

415
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: mean they need him bad. Needless to say. It looks

416
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: like Ingram's back though, Oh is he? Yeah? Then I

417
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: would lean i'd be more cautious with Kamarro. Are you

418
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: starting if he's back? Yeah? They everyone they can get

419
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: absolutely yeah. Yeah, So you know it gives you something anyways,

420
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: and you don't have to rush Kamara back at least

421
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: it's something Yeah, a little bit better. But that is

422
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: going to do it for the fantasy you football focus

423
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: on for the show. So for my partner Matt Williamson,

424
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,560
