1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, Me and your Man m G.

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like Neo

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: in the matrix. Big show for you on this Monday.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: As always, we are joined by producer Justin and the specialists.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: They cast of dozens it helps us put on this show,

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: and joined on screen as always by my pal Michael F. Florio. UM.

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: Now that we are pretty much through by mcgeddon, what

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: is the final tally? How did how did your your

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: league's shake out this week? I was so so. I

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: had some leagues where I I you know, I managed

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: to have not that many players on buy. But then

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I had some others where it was brutal. My benches

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: were better than my starting lineup. Took a few else

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: this week. I had a couple of low scoring wins,

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: but overall just very happy that Week seven is in

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: the pree of view mirror. Yeah, I think that's that's

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: probably the consensus. I was kind of a mixed bag

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: as well. I had some good I had some not

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: so good. Gotta win in the league where I was

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: absolutely bargain basement terrible. UM and somehow survived and pulled

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: out a win. Thank you, Michael Pittman for your last

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: minute touchdown helped me get over the top in that league.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: So we can put this one in the rear view mirror.

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: I think we have a couple of four team by

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: weeks left, a bunch of two team by Weeks left,

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: but nothing as bad as what we just experienced. So

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: let's let's all be thankful for that. We have planning

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to talk about though on the show today, we're gonna

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: ask the question, is Khalil Herbert the real deal? We'll

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: give you some post by mcgeddon waiver wire options because

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: that never stops, and that will preview Monday nights Saints

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks game as we wrap up the week that was.

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: But first let's start with some fantasy headlines and will

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: begin in Kansas City, where Patrick Mahomes sort of late

36
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: in the ball game on Sunday ended up leaving with

37
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: what looked at the time like a concussion, took a

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: really wicked hit in their blowout loss to Tennessee, had

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: to be helped off the field by his teammates. He

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: went through the protocol and reportedly passed the protocol afterwards. Uh,

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: he said he was fine. That part of the reason

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: he came out of the game because she had him.

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: He did finish that game for the Chiefs. Part of

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: it was because it was such a blowout and it

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: just didn't make sense to risk him. And it appears

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be good to go next week for

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City. But I mean, Florida, this has been a

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks now. I mean, it was not a

49
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: good day for Mahomes on Sunday last week. He ended

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: up putting up a good fantasy number, but as you

51
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: pointed out, a lot of that happened in the second half. Um,

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say that, you know,

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: the sky is falling, but at least are we starting

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: to get a little bit worried about Patrick Mahomes right now?

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm not. I know he hasn't been the Patrick Mahomes

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: that were after it as the number one quarterback, but

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: he's been pretty close to that. He's had a couple

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: of down games, but for the most part, the Chief's

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: offense has done their job. It's the defense that is

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: letting them down. I was of the mindset that, hey,

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a poor Chiefs defense leads to more fantasy points for

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: the for Mahomes and Hill and Kelsey. And I still

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: think Mahomes as a quarterback that you start every week.

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I still think Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey here guys

65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: that you start every week. Even the running back, whichever

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: one is healthy. Right now, it's Daryl Williams. I think

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: he is someone that you could start each week. But man,

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: yesterday was discouraging. Uh. If you had any of those

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs I think you you feel like they were also

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: on by in Week seven. Maybe not Trvis Kelsey, but

71
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the rest of them. But it's disappointing because it was

72
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: in such a great matchup to the Titans that allowed

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points to receivers. They were up there

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. They didn't take advantage of it. It hurts.

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: It's disappointing, But moving forward, I still think you just

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: start all of them without question. I think you're probably right.

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: I will say from an actual football perspective, what I

78
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: see out of the Chiefs as I see an offense

79
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: that feels like it has to be perfect because the

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: defense is going to give up so many points, and

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: because of that, every now and then you see Mahomes

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: maybe trying to do too much and always trying to

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: play hero ball because I think he feels like they

84
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: have to put up thirty five forty points a game

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: in order to win because of their defense. So uh,

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: it has led I think some turnovers, it's led to

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: some sloppy play, but in the end, still on average

88
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: getting about twenty five points a game from Patrick Mahomes. So, um,

89
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: let's just chalk yesterday up as having been a bad

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: day and we move on, we turn the page to

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: k I think a big part of it, Marcus is

92
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: we've really never seen Mahomes disappoint before, Like he's been

93
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: injured before, and that's about it. Like he's just he

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: said it himself yesterday after the game. It was like

95
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: my first three years were like I think he said,

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: flowers and rainbows, and it's like, yeah, you couldn't asked

97
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: for a better first three years. So this is the

98
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: first real adversity him and the Chiefs have had to face. Yeah,

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: you're probably right, so we'll see how they bounce back

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: from that. I would say this just straight up football question.

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: Are the Chiefs of playoff team right now? Because I

102
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: feel like they're they're probably not. They don't look at

103
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: when you watch them. But I I'm still at the

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: point where as long as they have Mahomes and Kelsey

105
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: and Hill, I'll never count them out because they can.

106
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: They can go on a run and score forty points

107
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: like a bunch of games in a row and still

108
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: and still get hot. So I'm not counting them out.

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: But they don't look like one. They definitely don't look

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: like one right now. But again, there's still time for

111
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: them to kind of regroup and and see what happens.

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Um You talk about sunshine and rainbows and and a

113
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: dark cloud. Now there's definitely a big dark cloud over

114
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, at least their quarterback position. Sam Donald

115
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday got benched in their loss to the New

116
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: York Giants, and Donald had another ugly game, uh the

117
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: four game losing streak for the Panthers, in which Donald

118
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: just thrown seven interceptions. He's had a couple of fumbles. Now,

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: head coach Matt Rule says that they are going to

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: go back to Donald. He remains the starting orderback going forward.

121
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: But considering how bad this has been, I mean, Robby

122
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Anderson at this point is I mean we've talked about

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: this before. He probably is dropp able. Um, but now

124
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: you start to worry about DJ Moore or do you?

125
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean do we do we have concerns about DJ

126
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: Moore with the quarterback situation being so in flux in Carolina. Yeah,

127
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I definitely think you have to worry. Sam Donald's play

128
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: has just not been good as of late. He had

129
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen thirty one and a half Fantasy points and

130
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: then the last three games it's six fifteen and two

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: point four. And in that stretch, Uh, he just he

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been passing the ball. Well, you talk about all

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: the interceptions, he is just two passing touchdowns in his

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: last three games. Before that, though, he was doing a

135
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: lot of it with his legs, which doesn't help DJ Moore.

136
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: D J Moore I was starting to come around as

137
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one through that first month of this season.

138
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I I don't think we can value him as a

139
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: wide receiver one. I think DJ Moore is kind of

140
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: who DJ more was coming into the year, like he's

141
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna have some really big games. He himself is a

142
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: very talented player. But uh, the offense, the quarterback is

143
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: going to be very up and down, which means d J.

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Moore is going to be up and down. I think

145
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: he is more of a wide receiver too, that has

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the ability to finish as a top five wide receiver

147
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: any week, but he also has the ability to just

148
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of bottom out. Not really his fault because of

149
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Donald and the offense, so wide receiver too, but wide

150
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: range of outcomes. In my opinion, he really has become

151
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: very quarterback dependent, which it I guess. Early on it

152
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: seemed like the quarterback was was going well, so it

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: didn't seem like a big deal. But now that Sam

154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Donald appears to have turned back into a pumpkin um like,

155
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's bad news there. And look, I'm sitting

156
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: here having to admit, as somebody who has, you know,

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: waived the flag for Sam Donald for much of the year,

158
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: that maybe he's just bad. But I think I think

159
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: it's okay to admit that maybe he's just not as

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: good as as we wanted him to be. Um. By

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: the way, Robby Anderson and I don't remember who pointed

162
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: this out on Twitter, I saw it on Monday morning.

163
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: His last two games, he has twenty targets, which seems great. Uh,

164
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: he's turned it into six catches for twenty five yards.

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: That's not great. I don't understand what's going on with him.

166
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Can can you make it make sense to me? Marcus

167
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Wish wish he has more targets than fantasy points in

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the last month. It it doesn't make sense. I can't.

169
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. He does have a touchdown

170
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: in those last couple of games, but uh, it's been bleak.

171
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: In fact, if you want to go want to go

172
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: back one more game, it's twenties seven targets, which he's

173
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: turned into eight catches for let me do the math,

174
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: fifty five yards. I mean, it's just bad. It's just

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: been bad for Robby Anderson. Um. Speaking of bad, Zack

176
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Wilson and the Jets had another bad day. They had

177
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: an awful day. Um. It seems like no matter what happens,

178
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: no matter what changes in New England, they still find

179
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: a way to just bludgeon the Jets. Like that part

180
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: never seems to change. And Mac Jones and the Patriots

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: did it again on Sunday. But Zach Wilson left that

182
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: game with what looked like a knee injury. Took a

183
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: low hit, kind of got twisted around Um ended up

184
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: leaving the game. Mike White came in and took over Um.

185
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: Does this change anything? I mean, I feel like I

186
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: feel like, yes, Zach Wilson is out, Mike White is in.

187
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that I have any better or worse

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: feeling one way or another about the guys around him

189
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: in that offense. I don't think it changes a whole lot.

190
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: I think it makes the receivers a little bit more

191
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: hard to trust. They spread the ball out evenly yesterday,

192
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: throwing six targets to each. But I think when I think,

193
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: you can't trust the receivers as long as Wilson is out,

194
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: but you can trust the running backs, at least in

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: my opinion, Mike White yesterday, like you said, Marcus, he

196
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: wasn't playing great, but he did throw forty four percent

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: of his passes two running backs. There was nine targets

198
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: from Michael Carter, seven targets for Johnson. They were the

199
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: jets top two leading receivers yesterday. I know it sounds

200
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: pretty bleak, but I think as long as Wilson is out,

201
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: you could kind of trust Carter as like an RV two,

202
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: And I think Ty Johnson even becomes like a deeper

203
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: league flex option if they're gonna be seeing targets like this.

204
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: So that's the Jets anyway. Uh, that gets us two

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: things that we've learned, the things that we saw on

206
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Sunday that had made an impression on us, that we

207
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have some sort of fantasy relevance going forward.

208
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: What did you take away from Sunday's action. I took

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: away that Brandon Bolden is the new James White, and

210
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: we it was kind of looking like that before Week six,

211
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: and then he only had one target. It was Romandre

212
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Stevenson getting the passing down work there for the Patriots

213
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: running backs, and then yesterday, oddly enough, Stevenson was a

214
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: healthy scratch and Bolden just went on to lead the

215
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Patriots and targets, catches, and receiving yards. He also scored

216
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: a receiving touchdown, scoring nearly twenty Fantasy points. He's the

217
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: top five running back on the week as of now. Uh,

218
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: this is more of a ceiling game, but Bolden for

219
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: the last month, outside of that Week six game, has

220
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: been given us like four plus catches each game. I

221
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: think he's very similar to James White in the sense

222
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: that you can rely on him for like eight to

223
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: tend safe fantasy points each week, and then he has

224
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: the ability to every once in a while scored twenty

225
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy points like he did this week if he finds

226
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: the end zone or something like that. So I think

227
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Bolden is someone bleak week on the waiver wire. But

228
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: Bolden is someone that a few was dropped, I'd be

229
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: going out and trying to add right now. I feel

230
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: like Bill Belichick or someone in the Patriots building heard

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: us talking about how we sort of figured out how

232
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots use their running backs there's no need to

233
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: worry about it, and they're like, we'll show you, uh,

234
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: And then they remind dry Stevenson a surprise and active

235
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: and then gave Brandon Bolden all this work. Um, so wow,

236
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: good to you're listening, Bill, We appreciate you listening to

237
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: the show. So the thing, yeah, he's always listening of course. Right.

238
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: The thing I learned this week is that Khaleel Herbert,

239
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going anywhere. Um had the best

240
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: day a running back has had on the ground against

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers all season long. He'd a hundred rushing yards.

242
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Nobody had had more than sixty seven rushing yards against

243
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks so far this season, the last three weeks,

244
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: he's averaging about ninety rushing yards per game. He has

245
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: surpassed Damien Williams. I think on this depth chart, they

246
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: have found a guy that they feel comfortable with running

247
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: the football. And I get the sense that Khalil Herbert

248
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: is still going to have a role in this offense

249
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: even when David Montgomery comes back. So, uh, it's definitely

250
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: nice that we were always looking for more running back help.

251
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: It seems that we have found it. Looked Damian Willams

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. It seemed like he was fitting in nicely.

253
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: But but they seem to have found something with Khalil

254
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Herbert the way they ran the ball very effectively on Sunday.

255
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: So if you've got Khalio Herbert, hold onto him because

256
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: I think he's still gonna see some touches when David

257
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: Montgomery comes back. Thoughts. Yeah, I agree. He has ran

258
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: really well, Like this was against the Bucks defense, the

259
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: hardest defense to run on in the league. He runs

260
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: for a hundred yards, averaging nearly six yards per carry.

261
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: And what really stood out to me, Marcus was they

262
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: started to get him more involved in the passing game.

263
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: He caught all five of his targets for thirty three yards.

264
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I I agree with you. I think he is the

265
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: now the RB two even when David Montgomery is back,

266
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that he will have a role. Um, I think you

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: hold onto him, you continue to start him until Montgomery

268
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: is back at the very least. Yeah, absolutely do. By

269
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: the way side, note, it was reported this morning that

270
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: the Bear's head coach, Matt Naggi has tested positive for

271
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: COVID nineteens. We'll see what happens with him during the

272
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: week obviously. Uh, they don't have a game obviously for

273
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: several days. If he does not coach, then it's expected

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: that Bill Laser, the offensive coordinator, will be the one

275
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: to sort of take over a lot of the head

276
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: coaching duties. But that's a story that we will certainly

277
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: monitor as the week goes along. We will take a

278
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: break now that will come back. We'll look at some

279
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: of the top performers from week seven by him again

280
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: and week and uh, well, that's what's going on with

281
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: the wide receivers there Cincinnati. We know one of them

282
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: is good, but what about the other ones. We'll find

283
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: out on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's take a

284
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: look at some of the top performers from Week seven.

285
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Your QB two for the week was Joe Burrow to

286
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: a tongue of Iolola was your QB three with twenty

287
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: six and a half fantasy points. Mac Jones with his

288
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: first three hundred career passing game that landed him as

289
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: QB eight for the week. The Ernest Johnson on that

290
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: huge game on Thursday night get to twenty four point

291
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: eight fantasy points outs the RB three. Brandon Bolden, who

292
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Florio talked about earlier in the show nearly twenty points,

293
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: is the RB four. Khalil Herbert is the RB five.

294
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase another Banana's days, your wide receiver to he

295
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: did all that and was a wide receiver too. That

296
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: that says something. H J. Brown is your wide receiver four,

297
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: having his biggest game of the season. C j Uzamo

298
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: with the pair of touchdowns is your tight end one.

299
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: And Kyle Pitts the Unicorn comes out yet again. He

300
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: is the tight end two with twenty three point three

301
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Um, all right, let's let's go back and

302
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: they'll talk about Jamaar Chase over two hundred receiving yards

303
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: against that Ravens defense, and right now the Bengals sitting

304
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: atop of the a f C North, which I don't

305
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: think anybody would have predicted after seven games so far

306
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: this season. But back to Jamar Chase, he's good. We

307
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: figured that out. Twitter loves joking about the fact that

308
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: he apparently couldn't see and didn't know what a football

309
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: was apparently in the preseason. And now he's like the

310
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: greatest thing that's ever happened to the wide receiver spot. Um,

311
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: But my question is what do we do now with

312
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: te Higgins and Tyler Boyd because they have both really

313
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: become afterthoughts in that Bengal passing game. Yeah, if you

314
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: drafted Jamaar Chase, kudos to you. You were getting coming

315
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: into the year. Marcus, I said, you either need you're

316
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: you're reaching, or you need history. History is happening. He

317
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: is the greatest wide receiver ever. But it's taken away

318
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: from the other guys. And uh, something I put out

319
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter, I know you you did as well yesterday

320
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: Marcus was like, what happened to te Higgins? Man? Fifteen

321
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: targets yesterday? We would be ecstatic for that, but he

322
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: caught seven of them for sixty two yards. His eight

323
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: yards have been way down this year. He was averaging

324
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: over eleven per target last year. It's down to eight

325
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: this year and as of the last three weeks, it's

326
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: like seven. It's really down. And we both joked that

327
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: he is the new Juju Smith Schuster. I joked that

328
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: to celebrate National tight End Day, Tee Higgins became a

329
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: tight end because that's how they're using him. They're not

330
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: really using him down field at all. He's all his

331
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: targets are near the line of scrimmage. And then for

332
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, it's been bad. I know Tyler Boyd had

333
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: a good stretch in the middle of the year, but

334
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: that was because Tee Higgins was out. In the games

335
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: that Tee Higgins has played this year, Boyd is averaging

336
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: just five targets per game, four catches, thirty four yards,

337
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: and less than nine fantasy points per games. So right now,

338
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: I think Tee Higgins is like a wide receiver three

339
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: or flex option with not the highest ceiling in the world.

340
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: And I think Tyler Boyd is it pains me to say, Marcus,

341
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: I think he's droppable at this point, I mean yesterday,

342
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: four catches for thirty nine yards. That's the best game

343
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: he's had in about a month. Um, you know he's

344
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: he's looking at this one to three, four five games

345
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: with fewer than forty receiving yards. Uh, there's really two

346
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: games of note on the schedule for for Tyler Boyd

347
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: and the rest of them have been awful. And so yeah,

348
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you're probably right. He could probably go back to the

349
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: waiver wire at this point. Um, maybe you're holding on

350
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: to him in deep leagues, but but it's hard to

351
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: make a case to actually have him in you're starting

352
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: lineup at any point. Um. The other wide receiver that

353
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: we saw on that board, A J. Brown, had a

354
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: really big day. Apparently he cleared the cleared the pipes

355
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: after having some some bad fast food during the week,

356
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 1: and apparently he's okay again. So now after what you

357
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: saw from him on Sunday combined with what he did

358
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: last week, to um, is he back or is it

359
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: just that the Chiefs defense is really bad? The Chiefs

360
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: defense is bad, but A J. Brown is back. Like

361
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: we all know, A J. Brown is a beast. He

362
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: had a huge second half against the Bills and then

363
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: built on it with his best game of the year

364
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: eight for a hundred thirty three in a tv UH

365
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: and he really dominated targets. Julio Jones had four, everyone

366
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: else had three or less. A j Brown is back.

367
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver, one that you could trust each week.

368
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I think so too. This This feels like a both

369
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: things can be true sort of scenario where he can

370
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: be back and the Chiefs can be bad. Um are

371
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: we worried about Julio Jones now? Because he stayed healthy

372
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: so that was a plus, but he was sort of invisible,

373
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: and UM, I feel like right now it's sort of

374
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: either or like we haven't had a game where both

375
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: guys have been huge at the same time. I'd like

376
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: to believe it's possible, but I don't know. Man, this

377
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: is this has become a head scratcher, and I'm a

378
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: little bit concerned. That's somebody who has Julio in a

379
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: few leagues. Hey, I'm with you. I had Julio Jones

380
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: ranked in my top fifteen wide receivers coming into the years,

381
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: so I have him on a bunch of teams just

382
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: because of how drafts worked out. Um, I'm choosing to

383
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: take yesterday as a positive, like he played the full game,

384
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: he stayed healthy. We could trust that he is now healthy.

385
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: The Hampshire injury injury is behind him. I'm worried about

386
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: the usage, but I think yesterday was just encouraging to

387
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: see him play the whole game. Um, I kind of

388
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: think he's a wide receiver three right now moving forward,

389
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: but the upside remains very high. I've had people ask

390
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: me if they could cut him. I'm saying not yet.

391
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm still holding him, But I don't think he is

392
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: a like a guy that you need to start every

393
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: single week anymore. Yeah, it didn't didn't really see that

394
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: one coming. So that leads us to I'm salty where

395
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: we talk about the wide receiver, not the wide receivers,

396
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: the players in general who just sort of let us

397
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: down and frustrated us in week seven. So for you,

398
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: who has you all salty right now? The entire Chief's

399
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: offense And this is like the first time and since

400
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: Alex Smith that I think we could say that, but

401
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: it it's it was really disappointing yesterday and what was

402
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be a smash spot for them, like the

403
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: Taliants haven't been able to stop anyone. I'm sorry justin

404
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: it is true like the Bills went off against him

405
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: last week. It's just every week teams are going off

406
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: against them, and that was not the case this week

407
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: at all. Mahomes didn't throw a touch downy had multiple giveaways. Uh.

408
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: Their leading receiver was Byron Pringle, Tyreek Heill only had

409
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: he had less than fifty yards in the air. Travis

410
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Kelsey still did his thing, but even for Travis Kelsey standards,

411
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: it was a disappointing. Darryl Williams was a huge disappointment,

412
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: only rushing for twenty yards added thirty in the passing game.

413
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: I have a team where I have Mahomes, Hill and

414
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: and Darryl Williams. I got less than twenty five points

415
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: from them combined. I expected that from Mahomes alone, So

416
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: it was a big disappointment. I know a lot of

417
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: teams were on by last week. The Chiefs kind of

418
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: were as well. It felt like if you had them,

419
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: I think he just pressed the reset button and he

420
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: moved forward. You get week seven out of your mind

421
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: as quickly as he can. Yep, you just just flushing you.

422
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: You don't watch the tape and you just move on

423
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: because that was that was pretty awful. Alright, So since

424
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: I talked about Julio Jones, I'm just gonna bring it

425
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: back up the Yeah, I a little bit salty that

426
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get much out of Julio Jones in what

427
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: seemed like a great matchup. I mean, Chiefs and Titans

428
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: felt like it was it was set for a ton

429
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: of fantasy points, and look it came. If you had

430
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: a j Brown, hey, that was great. If you had

431
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, I mean, he sort of did his thing

432
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: like he does. Ryan Tannehill had a pretty nice day.

433
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for the Chiefs, that didn't happen.

434
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: If you had Julio Jones, it didn't happen in this

435
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: ball game. I mean, uh, he had the two catches

436
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: for thirty eight yards. That's it. We're still looking for

437
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: the first Julio touchdown of the year. I look, admittedly

438
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: he probably should have had it a few weeks ago.

439
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: It got called back on replay boo um. But still

440
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. And like you said, at this point,

441
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to make the case that he is a

442
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: mandatory start each and every week because just so far

443
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: it just hasn't really happened. I, Like I said, I

444
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: had high expectations. We already we already thought, Hey, things

445
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: were good in Tennessee. Tanne Hill had been playing well.

446
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: A J. Brown had been playing well. You had Julio

447
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Jones in the mix. It's only gonna get better. It

448
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: hasn't really gotten better. So um, and I'm looking. I'm

449
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: gonna at the schedule. The next three weeks. They're at Indianapolis,

450
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: they are out here in Los Angeles to take on

451
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: the Rams, and then they've got the Saints. So none

452
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: of those are particularly inviting on paper. It makes me

453
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: worried about Julio. Yeah, all right, so you've heard me

454
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: say this before. I'm gonna say it again. We have

455
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: a TikTok account. You should check it out at NFL Fantasy.

456
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you that you specifically, you know what

457
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: you with the shirt. You should go and follow us

458

Speaker 1: on TikTok because we're doing a lot of fun, interesting

459
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: things there. You can also follow me at Marcus Grant.

460
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: I did one about Sam Dnard a couple of weeks ago,

461
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: and it has aged like milk in a hot car.

462
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: But that's okay. It was true at the time, and

463
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: I stand by it anyway. That's us on the TikTok.

464
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: What else we are doing right now is playing a

465
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: little round of real or mirage. I pulled out five

466
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: guys who had pretty good days on Sunday and what

467
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: this might mean for them going forward the first through

468
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: a tongue of violoa, and halfway through the game on

469
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Falcons, um people were already saying that,

470
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's time for two in a pack.

471
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Is bags that two a time is over in Miami,

472
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins are on the hunt for a new quarterback.

473
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: Then the end up throwing four touchdown passes. He had

474
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty six and a half Fantasy points, and the very

475
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: nearly got the Dolphins a win if their defense could

476
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: have held on and stop the Falcons at the end.

477
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: So it's certainly not on toa But what we saw

478
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: out of him on Sunday, Florio, is this the start

479
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: of good things to come? Or was he just playing

480
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: the Falcons? I think it's real markets at least in

481
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: this sense that he's a quarterback that you could trust

482
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: in good matchups because he's taken advantage of them two

483
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, and that is what a quarterback

484
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: is supposed to do. I always hate when people say, oh,

485
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: but they had a good matchup, Like what was he

486
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: supposed to play bad? And like, no, this is what

487
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: he is supposed to do. He's thrown for over two

488
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards and two straight, multiple passing touchdowns

489
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: in two straight, rushing for over twenty yards and two straight,

490
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: and most importantly, scoring over twenty one fantasy points and

491
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: two straight. He's the QB three on the week right now. Uh.

492
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: And and there's a lot of hate for too on

493
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: Fantasy Twitter and stuff. I've watched back each of his

494
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: last two games. Yes, he is not perfect, but the

495
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: hate that he gets is it's overblown. He's a young

496
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: quarterback who has shown signs of flashes. And like, maybe

497
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: next week against the Bills you don't trust him, But

498
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: the week after that against the Houston Texans, Yeah, he

499
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: is a hundred percent streaming option that I fully trust

500
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: right now in good matchups. I mean the next couple

501
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Right, you mentioned the Bills, He's got the Texans. Uh,

502
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: you know, then he's got the Ravens. You probably avoid

503
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: him there, but after that, he's got the Jets. So

504
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: that's another opportunity potentially to to start to a tongue

505
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: of Violoa. I came into the year thinking he was

506
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: a QB two and and so far nothing I've seen

507
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: has changed my mind on that. And so if you

508
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: have guys on a buy, if you have quarterback injuries,

509
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: then I think he is a perfectly viable start. I

510
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: think for him as an actual football player, uh, he

511
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: has saddled with the burden of being the guy that

512
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: the Dolphins took when they could have had Justin Herbert, right, like,

513
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: from the moment just than Herbert stepped in became the

514
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: starter for the Chargers and played well, then everybody in

515
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: and around the Dolphins seemed to say, well, maybe we

516
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: got the wrong guy, you know, and just sort of

517
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: discounting the fact that, first though, he was coming off

518
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: of a major, major hip injury. Um and on top

519
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: of it, you know, the the Dolphins as a whole

520
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: are just bad. And I don't think that he's the problem.

521
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: But I think for fantasy, uh, he's a nice option.

522
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not starting him every week, but he's a

523
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: nice guy to have on your roster, uh, to slide

524
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: in there when you you need some help at quarterback,

525
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: UM in the division Mac Jones, as I mentioned earlier,

526
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: his first career three yard passing game, pair of touchdowns,

527
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: twenty two point one eight fantasy points, and it is

528
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: very slowly looking more comfortable. I'm not gonna say that

529
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: he is a full on replacement for that other guy

530
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: that used to play there for a long time, UM,

531
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: but is he a guys all right? Is he a

532
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: guy that maybe we can slide in there on occasion

533
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: as our fantasy quarterback. I think he's a mirage for now.

534
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Like he is, he is starting to look more real.

535
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: Though yesterday it's hard to put too much stock in

536
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: it because it's one game against the Jets and he

537
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: went off three hundred and seven yards two touchdowns, his

538
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: first twenty point fantasy game in his career. But what

539
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: I like Marcus is he's throwing multiple passing touchdowns and

540
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: three of his last four games. The thing I don't like, though,

541
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: he gets the Chargers next week and the Panthers then

542
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: after that, both games on the road. I don't think

543
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: he's usable in those two weeks. But after that the

544
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: schedule starts to open up a bit for the Patriots.

545
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: He gets the Browns, who are a tough defense in

546
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: real life, but for fantasy purposes give up points to quarterbacks,

547
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: then the Falcons and the Titans. So what I'm looking

548
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: for mac Jones is to show me reasons that I

549
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: could trust him these next two games. And if he

550
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: does that, then I think there's a stretch there where

551
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: he becomes like a streamable bye week replacement and I'll

552
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: start to say he's more real then after that. My

553
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: only concern is just that everything has been sort of short. Yardage,

554
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: has been a lot of checkdowns the last couple of weeks.

555
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: It seems like he's sort of testing the waters a

556
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: little bit further down field, but it's still generally, you know,

557
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: a lot of safe throws. Um, they're not gonna score

558
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: forty seven points or whatever it was every single week

559
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: because they don't get to play the Jets every single week.

560
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: So I'm still sort of holding off on mac Jones.

561
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: I tend to be a little bit more cautious, especially

562
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: with rookie quarterbacks, tend to be a little bit more skeptical,

563
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: So I kind of want to see more before I'm

564
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: totally in on make Jones. But I will say the

565
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: signs are positive. Um, he definitely has I think progressed

566
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: as the season has gone along, which, by the way,

567
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: can we just get Jacoby Meyers a touchdown? Like? How

568
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: is it the Patriots scored almost half a hundred and

569
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: Jacoby Buyers still can't get a touchdown. I don't understand.

570
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't get it that poor guy man his last

571
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: touchdown is is like what three or four years ago

572
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: in college? Like this, poor dude. Man, he even had

573
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: one called back last week. It's like, I don't know,

574
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: it's poor dude. I mean, I think J. J. Taylor

575
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns yesterday and Jacoby Buyers couldn't even get one.

576
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: That's awful. Um, all right, back to Miami Miles Gascon.

577
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: Every time it seems like I'm ready to just completely

578
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: punt on Miles Gascon, like he does just enough to

579
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: get me interested again. And that was the case on Sunday.

580
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: He had four He had four catches, seventy seven total

581
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage and a touchdown seventeen almost eighteen fantasy

582
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: points from Miles Gascon. I don't know. I I just can't, Floria,

583
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't completely buy into this. Maybe maybe

584
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: you have some some reasoning that that I don't see,

585
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: but I just can't really get behind Myles Gascon. I

586
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: can't get behind Miles Gascon as someone like an RB

587
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: two that you could trust each week. But I can

588
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: get behind him as someone that you should have on

589
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: your roster as a backup running back, and a lot

590
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: of people this week. Every week I put out a

591
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: tweet like, who are you dropping? A lot of people

592
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: said Miles Gascon, and I didn't fully get it. I

593
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: was like, maybe last week was the week to drop him,

594
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: but he just scored nearly eighteen fantasy points. Why are

595
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: we dropping him? His last three games thirty one point

596
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: nine fantasy points three point four seventeen point seven, so

597
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: you get the full range of outcomes there with him.

598
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: The reason I can't buy into him as like a

599
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: weekly RB two that you could trust is because Malcolm

600
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Brown was the starter yesterday, or at least he was

601
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: getting the touches early on in the game. Savan Akman

602
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: got involved as well, so as if there's three running backs,

603
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: they're getting the work. I don't think you could fully

604
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: trust him, but I do think he is someone that

605
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: you should have on your bench that you can get

606
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup if you get desperate or of injuries,

607
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: or by weeks start plaguing in your running back position,

608
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: which they've done all years. So I think there's value

609
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: in having Gascon as a backup, not as a starter. Yeah,

610
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: I think that the hard part for me about trying

611
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: to figure out when to play him is because I don't.

612
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: I just there's no rhyme or reason to it. Right,

613
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Like early on it looked like he was sort of

614
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: a do everything back and maybe he was gonna get

615
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity. Then he went a couple of

616
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: weeks where he was just sort of a pass catching back,

617
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: a third down option. Then yesterday he ends up running

618
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: for sixties seven yards and only has ten receiving yards.

619
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: I just don't know what the Dolphins are doing with him,

620
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: and so you're right, maybe he's worth stashing. But it's

621
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: just like one of those things where I think every

622
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: week I would look at him on my bench and

623
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know, is this the week? And

624
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: it just would be frustrating. So I I understand why

625
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: people were like I'm dropping him, because I think people

626
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: just they just want to rid themselves of the headache.

627
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: I get that. It's so frustrating, I can't do it.

628
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it comes down to like

629
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: game script as well, Like is this a game where

630
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gonna be trailing and needing to throw?

631
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: Because if so, then I think you can rely on

632
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: like four or five catches out of him, maybe even

633
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: he had ten a couple of weeks ago. I think

634
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: that was the the anomaly. But it's game script, which,

635
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: as we could tell you Marcus, is very hard to predict.

636
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: Game script. Yeah, I mean, look, man, the Rams are

637
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be getting blown out. They were leading that

638
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: game well into it, so so game script. Who knows

639
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: to Dan campbellman, dude, Like I think it was you

640
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: who tweeted it. Like more more, bad teams should play

641
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: like this, like just go all out because it's your

642
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: only chance of winning, you know. I mean, look, if

643
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: you are the Texans, if you're the Jaguars, um just

644
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: say to hell with it, man, We're gonna we're gonna

645
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: run trick plays, We're gonna run fake punts. Uh, We're

646
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 1: just gonna go all out. I mean, I'll say this,

647
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: The Lions are going to beat some teams at some point,

648
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: like they're not gonna go winless this year because those

649
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: guys play really, really hard, and they seem to really

650
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: care about each other, and they seem to care about

651
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: their coach. And what we saw from them on Sunday

652
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: against the Rams was a team that looked like, you

653
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: know what, Hey, we haven't won a game, but we're

654
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: still out here and we're battling and we're trying to

655
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: have some fun doing it. Um. I just think I

656
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: think there's a lesson in that from other teams, Like

657
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: the Texans are bad and they're just not fun to watch, like,

658
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, at least be interesting. I was gonna

659
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: say that Texans should watch that Lions game and learn

660
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: from it. I understand Davis Mills is your quarterback. Maybe

661
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: Tyrod is he's coming back shortly and it maybe it'll

662
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: be different. But they were down like thirty something to

663
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: five late in the fourth quarter and punting it. I'm like,

664
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: you're just waving the white flag here, being like, we

665
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: can't move the ball against you guys at all. You

666
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: win like it just it doesn't give any reason to

667
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: get excited whatsoever now, not not even a little bit. Um. Alright,

668
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: a couple more real or mirages. We talked a little

669
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: bit about Khalil Herbert. I said he was here to stay,

670
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: had the eight teen carries for a hundred yards, five

671
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: catches for thirty three yards, that was on five targets.

672
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: I think we both agree that this this feels sort

673
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: of real, and even if he's not the RB one

674
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: um that that he still has a spot here in

675
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, he is real. I think he will

676
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: still have a role when David Montgomery comes back. I

677
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: was gonna say, maybe you try to sell high, but

678
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: I think with with Montgomery, you know his return looming,

679
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: it'll be hard to do that. Maybe it's worth to try,

680
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: but if not, just hold onto this guy. I think

681
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: moving forward, he's useful until Montgomery comes back, and then

682
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: after that he might still have a role here and

683
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: still will be a useful fantasy piece. I think a

684
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: thing we've seen from Matt Naggy is that they will

685
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: still sprinkle in a second running back. I mean we

686
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: saw that last year with Tari Cohen before he got hurt,

687
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: and even earlier this year we saw Damien Williams stepping

688
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: in and still getting some opportunities. So if Herbert really

689
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: has surpassed Damien Williams on the depth chart, which it

690
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: looks like he has. Um then I think he's still

691
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: going to get some chances once Montgomery's back. Obviously there'll

692
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: be fewer chances, but there will be chances there nonetheless.

693
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Um all right, last one Usama who on national tight

694
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: end Dave balled out three catches, ninety one yards, two touchdowns,

695
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty four point one fantasy points. And this is a

696
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in a row now that Usama has

697
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: been uh, pretty good. So are we starting to buy in?

698
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean we we talked about there's no no more

699
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Te Higgins or Tyler Boyd, so maybe this is the

700
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase c j U Sama show in Cincinnati. I

701
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: am buying into c j U Sama as a high

702
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: ups side tight end too. He only saw three's targets yesterday,

703
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: which isn't great. The volume hasn't been great for him

704
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: the last month, but it hasn't really mattered. He is

705
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: over ten fantasy points in three of his last four

706
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: games and over twenty fantasy points and two of his

707
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: last in four games. So he's a high upside, low

708
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: floor type of tight end. But I'm not sure, it

709
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: matters when they're using him as a downfield weapon opposite

710
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: of Jamaar Chase, because the defense is focusing on those

711
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: three receivers, so he gets a little space. He could

712
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: do stuff like that. He didn't. He said, if you

713
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: get tackled by the last defender, you have to do

714
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: fifteen push ups, and he didn't want to do it

715
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: in front of the team. He did still twice. I

716
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: think Usama is like a high end tight end two

717
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: that you could get into your line up in certain weeks.

718
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: I did hear the push up thing, and he's like,

719
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: I do push up push ups on my own time.

720
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to do them in front of the team.

721
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: So hey, let don't blame him. No, I don't blame

722
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: him either. If that motivates him to get into the

723
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: end zone, then you know, certainly us fantasy types will

724
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: be grateful for that. So so thank you Cincinnati being

725
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: gools for putting in that arbitrary rule that helped us

726
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: get some more fantasy points. We appreciate it. All right,

727
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break here, we'll come back. We

728
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: will dig into the waiver wire. Just because we're through

729
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: by him, Ageddon doesn't mean that you don't need to

730
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: make up some free agent pickups for the week ahead,

731
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about some of those next Sunny NFL

732
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy Folkbo Show. Take a look at the week eight

733
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 1: waiver wire targets, Florio, take us through your list here. Yeah,

734
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, who was playing well before his by don't forget,

735
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: and was dropped because he had the bye week, so

736
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: don't forget about him. To a tongue. Valoa has just

737
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: been playing well since returning from the i R. Daniel

738
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: Jones looked better yesterday, gets a great matchup next week

739
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Mac Jones we talked about, like him

740
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: his schedule down the road a little bit. Kenneth Gainwell

741
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: someone that is going to be in a hot target

742
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire this week. Brandon Bolden is the

743
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: new James White Kenyan Drake even though he's on by

744
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: next week. Josh Jacob left early and Drake was more

745
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: utilized Boston out there with Miles Sanders hurt as well,

746
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: and then some deeper league options and Soma, J p

747
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: Ryan and Ty Johnson at the running back position, moving

748
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: to some receivers. Rashod Bateman, he was my top ad

749
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: last week. I know he's on by next week, but

750
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: get this guy on your roster. Darius Slayton is still

751
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: in play at the Giants are banged up in a

752
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: good matchup next week. Kalif Raymond is just outperforming people's expectations,

753
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge, Elijah More, uh Alan Lazard, Nico Collins. Those

754
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: are a little bit deeper options if you're in need

755
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: of a receiver. And then Evan Ingram, Ricky Seals Jones

756
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: and someone we just talked about c j Uzama rounding

757
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: out the tight end list because who doesn't need tight ends?

758
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: Even on National tight End Day, markets were always in

759
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: need of streaming tight ends. I mean it was National

760
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: tight End Day and like Robert Tonyan had a good game,

761
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: So that sort of spoke to kind of how that

762
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: how that worked out there By the way, you have

763
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Calif Raymond on that list, And as somebody who has

764
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: been a big stand for aman Ross St. Brown, it

765
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: was super frustrating. One if you're if you're Saint Brown,

766
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: you have to come back and kind of play in

767
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: your hometown right in front of your friends and family,

768
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: and it's on your birthday and you get zero targets,

769
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: Like that's hurtful. It's just wrong. It's just it's just wrong,

770
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, Like like I checked yesterday to make sure

771
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: he was still playing. They just they didn't throw him

772
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: the ball, didn't throw him the ball on his birthday

773
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: in his hometown. Like that's the worst, um. But let's

774
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: talk about some of the guys who were actually playing better.

775
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones first and foremost, who uh really has

776
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: stepped in I think very nicely since Logan Thomas went

777
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. As long as Thomas isn't there, would

778
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: you put him among the ranks of tighten ones this year?

779
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: I think you have to. Like R s j has

780
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: played all but one snap in the last three weeks.

781
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Of the snaps the last two he saw seven targets

782
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: again this week, and in those three games he scored nine, sixteen,

783
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: and eleven Fantasy points. Like that is a safe floor

784
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: and a pretty good upside for a tight end that

785
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: you can potential really grab off the waiver wire and

786
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: get into your starting lineups. The three weeks since Thomas

787
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: has been put on the I R have passed, so

788
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: he is eligible to return. Now you got to keep

789
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: an eye on that But if Thomas is out, I

790
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: think Steel's Jones is a border, like a low end

791
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: tightened one that you could get in your starting lineup.

792
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: Each week you talk about the floor and that's sort

793
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: of what you're playing for with with tight ends off

794
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, you just want that consistency. And again

795
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: for me, until Washington figures out who their second wide

796
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: receiver is. Because Curtis Samuel continues to battle injury, UM

797
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: and Dammy Brown, I think it's hurt now he may

798
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: miss some time as well. I just still see the

799
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: target opportunity being there for R. S J and so

800
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to keep him out of the lineup,

801
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 1: especially if you are streaming tight ends are just looking

802
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: for help at the position. UM. Kenyan Drake on that

803
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: list as well, as you mentioned he has a buy

804
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: in week eight UM, but Josh Jacobs suffered an injury.

805
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: We'll see how serious that is. Obviously the Raiders get

806
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: some time to would have worked that out. But the

807
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks Kenyan Drake has felt like a

808
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: bigger part of the Raider offense, which is what we

809
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: thought coming into the year. So is he back to

810
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: having standalone value. Are we too early to kind of

811
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: determine that Right now, He's trending in that direction, which

812
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: is why I think he should be added. Despite having

813
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: to buy next week. It gives Josh Jacobs more time

814
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: to recover. So I'm not anticipating that Drake will be

815
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: the Week nine starter. That is still a possibility. It

816
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: could be a severe injury for Josh Jacobs, but even

817
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: if it's not, Kenyan Drake had six touches and two

818
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week and then early in the game before

819
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs went out. Something that I was keeping an

820
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: eye on was like they were splitting reps. Like the

821
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: first sixth uh running back carries, it was three and

822
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: three for each of them. So since the coaching change

823
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas, it does look like Drake is more utilized.

824
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: It looks like he is the backup running back again,

825
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: which didn't make sense early on. I mean, they gave

826
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: this guy a lot of money in the offseason, Marcus

827
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: at makes sense that they will utilize him. I would

828
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: be grabbing him because I think you could get him

829
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: for kind of cheap with him having to buy next

830
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: week and just keeping him on my bench and seeing

831
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: what the usage looks like moving forward. Yeah, I think

832
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a move if you are, you know,

833
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: if you have a lower waiver priority, or if your

834
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: team is already pretty good and you're just sort of

835
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: looking for some depth. I think that's the move you

836
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 1: make if if you need help right away. Obviously, Kenyan

837
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: Drake is not going to be the guy that that

838
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: you want, but it is It's been nice to see

839
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: him actually be part of the offense after it just

840
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: seemed like he was kind of invisible for for the

841
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: last few weeks before that. By the way, Josh Jacob

842
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: suffered a chest injury. It does not appear to be serious,

843
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: but again we'll sort of we'll have a week or

844
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: so to kind of figure out how bad it is

845
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: and what this means for him heading into week nine.

846
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: Um top waiver target in week eight though, this this

847
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: sort of seems like a no brainer. I think you

848
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: and I are of the same mind about who it

849
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: should be. Yeah, to me, and as Kenneth gainwell, uh,

850
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: he scored fourteen Fantasy points yesterday in Miles Sanders absence it.

851
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: I know we have to wait on official word from

852
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, but he was carded off and he looked

853
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: like he knew it was a kind of serious injury.

854
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: And what I love is gain Will saw eight targets yesterday,

855
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: and that shows that he will clearly be a big

856
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: part of the Eagles passing attack, especially because the Eagles

857
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: are the king of falling behind in the first three

858
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: quarters and then trying to make a massive comeback in

859
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: the fourth, which leads to a lot of passing. It's

860
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna lead to a lot of short dump offs for

861
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell. But in this backfield, I also think Boston

862
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Scott should be rostered. He played a third of the

863
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: snaps yesterday. He actually had more carries than Kenneth Gainwell.

864
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: He had two targets himself, and he saw three touches

865
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard lines to Gainwell's one. So I

866
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: think he's the more traditional runner there. I think Gainwell

867
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: is the upside player. He is the one the top target,

868
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: but I don't think Boston Scott is far behind him.

869
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: He'd probably be my number two target on the week

870
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: at the running back position. You know, I had said

871
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Game Day on Sunday morning, we did

872
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: a segment on players to break up with, and I

873
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: was I was breaking up with Kenneth Gainwell because the

874
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: previous few weeks have been really bleak where he wasn't

875
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: really on the field, he wasn't getting opportunities. Um, and

876
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: it's amazing how things can change in the blink of

877
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: an eye. Miles Sanders gets hurt and suddenly, you know,

878
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: seeing if I still got Kiddy Gee's number, like, hey,

879
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we can work things out. Maybe he's gonna

880
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: be okay. Also, you mentioned Boston Scott. I was looking

881
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: to see when they play the Giants because he's a

882
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: notorious Giants killer. It's still a few weeks away, there's

883
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: still I would I would suspect I think it's four

884
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: or five weeks away. Um it is. Yeah, it's week twelve,

885
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: so it's still a ways away. So I would suspect

886
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders maybe back by that. So we don't get

887
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: We don't get the Boston Scott versus the New York

888
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Giants game. That's frustrating. Whatever. Um, if you want more

889
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: waiver Wire talking, you can go check it out. Michael

890
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: le Florio writes to call them every single week. It's

891
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com slash waiver Wire. And keep in mind

892
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: that he pretty much writes this thing on Sunday, so uh,

893
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: don't go let him the things change, because a lot

894
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: can happen between Sunday afternoon and uh and Tuesday evening

895
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: when you put in your waiver claims. But all the

896
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: information is there, you should be sure to go check

897
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: it out whenever you have an opportunity. We'll wrap up

898
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: the show with a preview of Monday Night football. The

899
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints heading to Seattle to take on the Seahawks.

900
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: And I think on paper this might have seemed like

901
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: a really good game when they scheduled it. It feels

902
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: a lot less exciting now that we're about to play it.

903
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: But let's start with the Saints offense. And do you

904
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: have a fantasy projection for Jamis Winston against a bad

905
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 1: Seahawk defense. I'm expecting somewhere in the in the range

906
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: of around twenty twenty one fantasy points. Um, Seahawks defense

907
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been great. We we've known that, Marcus. You've dubbed

908
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: them the Legion of Whom, which I think is an

909
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: amazing nickname. It that they have definitely deserved. Um, I

910
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: mean Jamal Adams and coverage is a quarterback's best friends.

911
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: So I'm expected to see some deep shots today to callaway.

912
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: I think it went and should have a good game

913
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: in this one, and if he doesn't, then I think

914
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: you gotta start to worry about him a little bit.

915
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I'm sort of with you.

916
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: I think about anywhere between twenty and twenty two points

917
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: feels realistic for Jamis tonight. Uh. He just has been

918
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: sort of a riddle to try to figure out this year.

919
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of decent games. He's had some

920
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: head scratching games, but everything seems aligned for him to

921
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: put up some decent numbers. So that's that's kind of

922
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for there. On the flip side, Alex

923
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: Collins is expected to play. They weren't sure about him

924
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: uh during the week. Um, but it looks like he's

925
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: going to be available for the Seahawks tonight. So bearing

926
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: that in mind, the Saints run defense is really pretty good.

927
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: What do you what do you project for Alex Collins?

928
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking he gets around ten Fantasy points and and

929
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: it's possible he sits in the single digits tonight because

930
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: there's just a lot to worry about with Collins. I

931
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: was saying earlier this week, I would try to get

932
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: away from him if possible. Uh. He was banged up.

933
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: He was dealing with a groin injury all week. Only

934
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: got in on practice on Saturday. Rashant Penny is back,

935
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: so they have a backup there that they can trust

936
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more than DJ Dallas or or Travis Homer.

937
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: And then the Saints run defense is really tough, like

938
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: you said, Marcus, So this is a game where I'm

939
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: not expecting much of a ceiling for Alex Collins. I

940
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: think it's more of a floor game. If you're starting him,

941
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: you're just hoping for volume and that maybe he finds

942
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: the end zone. Well, I'm gonna be a little self

943
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: serving because I am starting him, uh and a league

944
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: against you where I need eleven points from Alex Collins

945
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: to win. So I'm gonna project him for eleven points, uh,

946
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: to to satisfy my own selfish desires here. But um,

947
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: I I think that's gonna be hard. I feel like

948
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: eleven points from Collins tonight against the Saints. Uh, maybe

949
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: a tall ask um, you know, if you can somehow

950
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: find the end zone, I think that helps. But that

951
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem particularly realistic, especially as you mentioned with

952
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: the groin injury with Rashant Penny. There where things go bad,

953
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: they can always sort of turned to him. Um, you know,

954
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: I think this could be a lower scoring game just

955
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: because neither one of these offenses really seems to scare

956
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: me a whole lot. But uh, we'll see about what

957
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: happens with Alex Collins. Um. All right, last thing, can

958
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 1: you paint me a picture where you would consider using

959
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: Geno Smith anywhere I I can? Um, because I I

960
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: had to live through this real life picture. I have

961
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: a Super Flex league where my quarterbacks on my roster

962
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen and Justin Herbert on by, and then

963
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: my third quarterback was Trey Lance, so I had to

964
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: start Davis Mills because Geno Smith was already roster. But

965
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: I think you're in a situation like that where your

966
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks are on by and and it's very possible

967
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: you could have Alan and Herbert or Dac or any

968
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: of those situations and you're just desperate for a quarterback

969
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: this week. That I think is the only scenario where

970
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: I would trust General Smith in a tough matchup against

971
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: the Saints defense. Yeah, that that makes the most sense.

972
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: The The other way I could say is if you

973
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: were just being super contrarian in a in a daily

974
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: league or something like that, a daily situation. Uh, there's

975
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: just there's just no real upside to to starting Geno

976
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: Smith against the Saints defense. You know, I I know

977
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: when he came in a couple of weeks ago. Uh,

978
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: he looked good. And if Tyler Lockett doesn't fall down,

979
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he ends up leading the Seahawks to

980
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: a win. But I think, you know, with time to

981
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of watch film and and remember who Geno Smith is,

982
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: I just don't see him really doing much against the Saints.

983
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton will figure out how to slow

984
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: him down. So, uh should be mildly interesting, I guess tonight.

985
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna at Seattle, so it's probably gonna

986
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: be raining. Um, you know, hopefully it's not as gnarly

987
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: as what we saw in Santa Clara on Sunday Night football,

988
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: but uh, there it is. Uh, you have a winner

989
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: for this one St. Seahawks. I think the Saints pull

990
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: it out because I'm expecting Winson to play pretty well.

991
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: I think Alvin Kamara has a pretty big day here

992
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: for fantasy in a great match. So I think the

993
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: Saints pull it out. Um and yeah, I mean hoping

994
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: that it's a competitive game, hoping that it's a lot

995
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: better than uh than what like the Texans gave us

996
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback yesterday. That was that was absolutely brutal.

997
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: Let's not think about that anymore. In fact, it seems

998
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: like a good place to to call this one. That

999
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging out

1000
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: with the NFL Fantasy Football show. You know the drill.

1001
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and

1002
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: remember you never see a headline that says psychic wins

1003
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: the lottery. Be safe, take care of yourselves, get vaccinated,

1004
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: and we'll see you on Wednesday. I'm don't go. I'm

1005
00:48:53,239 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: don't work. B
